In an interview on The Blaze, prominent controversial television and radio host Glenn Beck publicly revealed a mysterious illness that he had been fighting. He proclaimed even his doctor said it was because of his faith in God that he was able to persevere.

On Monday Beck revealed that he could not hold his secret health issues any longer from his friends, staff or audience. Doctors told him he might only be functional for a few years to come. Beck stated that his health conditions were causing such excruciating pain that it was difficult to do live programming.

"Tonight's show is not for the casual fan or, really, anyone in the press," Beck said on his broadcast, "This is a one-on-one between friends. No one in the media ever does a show like this, because it is crazy. ... But I believe that by not talking with you openly, it destroys everything of real meaning and value - namely, our trust."

He went on to say that he never once lied to his audience, but in fact has omitted a few "really important" scary facts. A tearful Beck then admitted, "I didn't have any answers, and the answers I was being given at the time meant ... the end of our time together."

"While I was at Fox, the pain would get so bad that my camera crew, our executive producer Tiffany and I, had worked out hand signals so they would know when to take the camera off of me," Beck revealed, but at the time they did not know what it was.

"Doctors tell me that up until recently, I hadn't had a real REM sleep in maybe as long as a decade," Beck continued,"I didn't have a dream that I remember, except one in a decade."

Eventually as the illness progressively got worse, Beck asked God, "'Am I done? Can I put my sword down now?' The answer was always 'No,'" Beck remembered. Doctors eventually discovered that he went from autoimmune disorder to adrenal fatigue.

Beck said his physicians told him he should not have been exerting himself at all. They maintained that only his faith in God had kept him moving and if he had remained in New York City, they said he probably would not be alive today.

 "My doctors told me that it was my faith in God that was powering me through all of this, that I shouldn't be standing," he said. After they ran tests they also told him that his faith in God should be strengthened because it was a "miracle that he was moving."

During his confession his wife joined him and he shared how instrumental she was to him. "Many days she would tie my shoes or button my shirts, these simple things that you take for granted," he said in tears.

"For those who question why I have been saying, 'We need to love one another,' they didn't know that when you are faced with a real shortened timeline of your life, you begin to measure everything and its worth," Beck went on to say.

In the final part of Beck's video confession, he concluded by saying "I'm happy to say, I'm back. But with all of this time left, what do I spend it on? I have pivoted. I know what life is about and it isn't about money, fame or division. It isn't about politics or a 5 p.m. TV show that continues to highlight problems. This summer we went into production on a pilot that will completely change what I do on TV. But that really is only one piece. In the macro, it's about me changing me and you changing you."
