Weapon of War<br />
by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson<br />
Co-host, <strong>The</strong> <strong>700</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Canada</strong><br />
If you feel like you<br />
are in a battle today,<br />
there is a weapon<br />
you can engage when<br />
you are in a vicious<br />
spiritual war. This is<br />
highlighted in an incredible story<br />
of victory in the Old Testament.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Moabites and Ammonites<br />
assembled their armies to come<br />
against the children of Israel.<br />
A man named Jahaziel was<br />
overcome by the power of the<br />
Lord and brought a word<br />
from God.<br />
He said in 2 Chronicles 20:15,<br />
“Do not be afraid or discouraged<br />
because of this vast army. For the<br />
battle is not yours, but God’s” and<br />
in verse 17 it says, “You will not<br />
have to fight this battle. Take up<br />
your positions; stand firm and see<br />
the deliverance the Lord will give<br />
you.… Do not be afraid; do not be<br />
discouraged.”<br />
Now here is the amazing part of<br />
the story, the next morning King<br />
Jehoshaphat told the people to<br />
“have faith in the Lord your God<br />
and you will be upheld.” And he<br />
appointed men to sing to the Lord<br />
and to praise him as they went out<br />
at the head of the army, saying,<br />
“Give thanks to the Lord, for his<br />
love endures forever.” Verse 22<br />
goes on to tell how they began to<br />
sing and lift their voices in praises<br />
to the Lord, who then defeated<br />
their foes by setting up ambushes<br />
against the enemies.<br />
This is our secret weapon.<br />
When we begin to praise and<br />
worship God, He fights our battles<br />
for us and victory is placed in<br />
our hands.<br />

Faith Week<br />
Exciting new features in <strong>July</strong> on <strong>The</strong> <strong>700</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Canada</strong><br />
<strong>July</strong> 8-12<br />
Dr. Andy Bannister<br />
Canadian Director for RZIM <strong>Canada</strong> will be joining<br />
us this week for a look at five different faith groups<br />
represented in today’s Canadian culture. He travels<br />
regularly throughout <strong>Canada</strong>, speaking about<br />
issues relating to faith, culture, politics and society,<br />
addressing audiences of Christians, those of all faiths,<br />
and those who have no religious affiliation.<br />
Wagdi Iskander<br />
Born into a Bedouin Arab family, Wagdi was<br />
raised as a Muslim in the Sudan. After accepting<br />
Jesus Christ as Lord in 1982 he was persecuted and<br />
then arrested along with two Christian friends for<br />
refusing to renounce Jesus as Lord. All three were<br />
sentenced to die. His friends were executed but<br />
when they came for Wagdi he made a miraculous<br />
last minute escape and went into hiding. In 1988 he<br />
came to <strong>Canada</strong> and has pastored Arabic churches in Calgary and Edmonton.<br />
A Journey of Faith<br />
<strong>July</strong> 15-19<br />
Harold “Lefty” Williams<br />
Harold ‘Lefty’ Williams, former Harlem<br />
Globetrotter, learned early in life that to get what<br />
was divinely meant for him he had to be obedient<br />
and follow God’s will. It has been obedience to<br />
God that brought him to Port Alberni BC as<br />
Youth Pastor at Jericho Road church. His desire<br />
is to share with the youth of today that a Delay<br />
Is Not A Denial. This week ‘Lefty’ and Associate<br />
Pastor Dave DeJong will be discussing their journey of faith.<br />
Hearing God’s Voice<br />
Josiah’s parents fear the worst when his<br />
jet ski collides with an obstacle at full speed. But<br />
amazingly, something happens before the impact<br />
that is a must-see for every viewer. Tune in for<br />
this young man’s astounding story.<br />

<strong>700</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> Partners Reach Out in Love<br />
Our nation has been<br />
touched by God<br />
in so many ways.<br />
Here at CBA it is<br />
our desire to reach<br />
out and minister to the lives of<br />
those all across <strong>Canada</strong> who are<br />
in great need. This is where<br />
you come in. Through your<br />
partnership, the gospel is spread<br />
across the country and is brought<br />
into prisons, the inner cities, and<br />
places where lost individuals may<br />
never have otherwise had the<br />
opportunity to hear the Good<br />
News of Jesus Christ.<br />
Often, people’s physical and emotional needs are so<br />
great that those must be fulfilled before they can open<br />
their hearts to their spiritual needs. And thanks to you,<br />
those needs are being met. Recently, <strong>The</strong> <strong>700</strong> <strong>Club</strong> in<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> partnered with <strong>The</strong> Clothing Mission to provide<br />
clothing to a native community in Quebec, north of<br />
Ottawa. With your help, we were able to not only bring<br />
clothing and warm coats to those who needed them the<br />
most, but also food to feed the hungry.<br />
Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children<br />
come to me,” and that is exactly what our aim is through<br />
our Superbook ministry. This summer we are planning<br />
several new Superbook outreaches, which will be held in<br />
many different cities and towns. None of this would be<br />
Left: Food amd clothing being delivered; right: Superbook outreach<br />
“I was hungry and you fed me.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new O’Connor Family Centre<br />
possible without the support from partners like you. It is<br />
our prayer that hundreds of children will come to know<br />
Christ through this ministry.<br />
But not only are we reaching out to children, but to<br />
families as well. This past spring we were able to help<br />
<strong>The</strong> Scott Mission renovate their new O’Connor Family<br />
Centre in East Toronto. <strong>The</strong> Scott Mission is a warm and<br />
loving place that ministers to both children and their<br />
families as a whole. It is a blessing to stop and think that<br />
through your gifts, you are giving families across <strong>Canada</strong><br />
the means and ability to grow and be strengthened in<br />
Jesus’ name.<br />
Ever since CBA began in 1974, it has been our<br />
mandate to preach the gospel through the media, to<br />
touch the lives of the hurting, the destitute and the<br />
lonely, and to<br />
strengthen the<br />
heart of <strong>Canada</strong><br />
for God. It is<br />
your partnership<br />
with CBA that<br />
makes all of this<br />
possible. With<br />
you by our side,<br />
we can continue<br />
to work for<br />
God’s glory and<br />
to make Him<br />
known across the<br />
nation and into<br />
the far corners of<br />
the world.<br />

Pat Robertson answers your questions<br />
Q<br />
Some Christians give the<br />
impression that God has given<br />
us creative power with our<br />
words. Can we really speak<br />
something into existence<br />
A<br />
Jesus said: If you have faith and do not doubt … if you<br />
say to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the<br />
sea,” it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer,<br />
believing, you will receive (Matthew 21:21, 22).<br />
Throughout Scripture, we can find incidences of God<br />
speaking things into existence. If we look at the origin of<br />
this universe, it was the spoken Word of God that brought<br />
it to pass. We read again and again in Genesis, God said,<br />
“Let there be…” and it happened according to His Word.<br />
Power flows from the creative mind of God to the Spirit<br />
of God, to the spirit of man, to the mind of man, and to<br />
the mouth of man. God’s thoughts will be transmitted by<br />
the Holy Spirit to our spirits, and if we speak them forth,<br />
things will begin to take shape and change.<br />
<strong>The</strong> way I’ve seen healings take place has been to speak<br />
the word, to command storms to cease. Jesus spoke to the<br />
waves. He said, “Peace, be still.”<br />
Agreeing with God’s Word, and speaking to our<br />
circumstances is not a “name it and claim it” game of “let’s<br />
see what we can get from God.” We are not talking about<br />
magic, formulas, tricks, or games; we are talking about<br />
the power of God having real results in our everyday lives<br />
according to clearly annunciated biblical teachings.<br />

Good. Clean. Fun.<br />
Christ’s Dominion<br />
by Brian Warren<br />
Co-host, <strong>The</strong> <strong>700</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Canada</strong><br />
Happy <strong>Canada</strong> Day! <strong>July</strong> 1, <strong>2013</strong> marks<br />
the 146th birthday of “<strong>The</strong> Dominion of<br />
<strong>Canada</strong>.” Jesus, in His earthly ministry,<br />
spoke a lot about dominion: But seek first the<br />
kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these<br />
things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33 nkjv).<br />
In fact, we live in a time in world history when we<br />
have seen many kingdoms come and go. Revelation<br />
11:15 niv says, <strong>The</strong> kingdom of the world has<br />
become the kingdom of our Lord and of his<br />
Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever. But<br />
how does that aid me in my corner of <strong>Canada</strong><br />
Great question! As a citizen of “Christ’s<br />
Dominion,” here on earth, you have rights, and<br />
when those rights are threatened it is the military<br />
that is called to serve and protect, not the citizens.<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard emergency number in <strong>Canada</strong> is<br />
911. Once 911 is dialed, a dispatcher will ask,<br />
“What is the problem and what is your location”<br />
<strong>The</strong>n in minutes, depending on the traffic, a<br />
dispatched vehicle with flashing lights and a siren<br />
indicating “no interruption” arrives.<br />
In the kingdom, we have the same promise<br />
of immediate response; our emergency number<br />
in heaven is “PRAY”! Keep praying partners;<br />
we don’t have to stress. Our king and His army<br />
of angels are faithful.<br />
