Nuggets from Occult Invasion

Much of Pat [Robertson’s] dream for CBN came out of a false prophecy going all the way back to May 1968. Pat tells the story:

“It was dedication week of our new Portsmouth facility…. I’d just given a short talk on the bright future ahead of us at CBN, when all at once Harald Bredesen, our long-time Christian friend, came forward, placed his hand on my head, and began to speak a word of prophecy so powerful, I will never forget it as long as I live. For I knew God Himself was speaking to us that very moment: ‘The days of your beginning seem small in your eyes in light of where I have taken you…but these days shall seem small in light of where I am going to take you…for I have chosen you to usher in the coming of My Son.’ Electric excitement shot through the assembly! Applause burst forth from every corner of the room. I was absolutely awestruck. God had assigned to CBN, in these last days, a ministry of John the Baptist—to prepare the way for Jesus’ second coming!”
