Christians are being greatly stretched in the current era of humanity.

The relentless attacks against God, His Word and His design for mankind are becoming culturally accepted and amplified across the news waves.

It is no secret that the television outlet MSNBC holds Christians in contempt, but now it is airing blasphemous statements against God without challenging the speakers in the slightest.

In a recent interview, host Joy Reid interviewed a transgender woman (who is biologically a man).

It goes without saying on which side of the argument they both stood.

The guest, transgender activist Charlotte Clymer, claimed that Daily Wire personality Michael Knowles, a devout Catholic, was contradicting the teachings of Jesus by speaking out against the transgender ideology.

Are the signs that the Tribulation is not far off visible enough yet?

“I think children are only unsafe at drag shows when a shooter shows up to kill them. That’s where the threat is,” Clymer said. “I would challenge anyone just to get to know trans people. We are a vibrant, diverse community, diverse as anyone else. I’m from the great state of Texas. I served in the military; I go to church every Sunday and my faith is very important to me.”

This is only the initial thrust of biblical illiteracy and apostasy that spewed forth from MSNBC unfiltered.

“But God made me in her image. God made me transgender,” the activist declared. “To see these people so cynically weaponize this and exploit these children’s deaths and their teachers’ deaths, it breaks my heart. I wonder what those families are thinking right now.”

The deception in the words spoken by this false prophet is dripping from every sentence. This is why Christians, young, old and everything in between, must be biblically literate enough to see through the lies and know that this is not what the Word of God says.

Christians must be aware and discern the spiritual attacks of the enemy in the world today. Satan is already attempting to rewrite what the Word of God says and replace it with his own twisted and corrupt version that serves him and condemns those who follow it.

Now, he is using this deceived man to spread misinformation about who God is and what constitutes the biblically, and therefore divinely, defined lifestyle of a Christian.

This apostasy and blasphemy of the Word of God goes hand in hand with the restrictions on speech and belief systems that run contrary to the secular ideologies taking over American culture today.

In the past, Clymer was called out for supporting the squelching of speech that is deemed “harmful” and silencing anyone who objects or disagrees.

This is the path being taken by those who will eventually move to restrict the Bible.

Believe that, the day is coming when there will be a movement to outlaw the Bible in America because it speaks out against the world, and holds within its pages the truth that can save humanity.

All of the chaos, division and hatred being implemented in society today are side effects of the war Satan is waging against God and everything He created.

Christians know how this will eventually end, but not when. In the meantime, some intense spiritual warfare must take place within the church today.

The gospel must continue to be preached in its true and accurate form that reforms, restores and saves those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, not the perverted version being peddled by those under demonic influence.

Standing against the devil and standing up for Jesus can absolutely be done in love, but there must be no room for compromising the Word of God when it comes to the message being preached to the world.

Jesus stood against the evil ways of the world, and He did it in love. May all believers follow His example and set the world on fire for God. {eoa}

This Easter Sunday, take your CEO to church. And no, I don’t exactly mean your company’s boss.

For many people, church is something they only visit a couple times a year: Christmas and Easter. And for many more, the thought of stepping foot into a church at these two busiest times a year is scary and unpredictable. Not knowing other people, deciding which church is the right fit, fear of judgment and so many other thoughts can easily creep into someone’s mind when trying to decide if it’s even worth walking through the church doors.

So, instead, take up the charge and invite someone to go to church with you.

Last year, Rasmussen reported that 42% of Americans planned on attending church for Easter service, which was up from pandemic levels. Many people are just now leaving behind the fear of being in the public square, so it’s quite possible that the number of people planning to attend Easter service will climb even higher this year.

However, just because more people are planning on going to church for Easter doesn’t mean that we should be happy with this statistic. The other 58% may be the most critical for having the gospel spread across our nation. This is something even my own pastor discussed recently. If we are called to be the light of the world, we can’t hide it underneath a basket. We have to be the light to a dark world!

This is the time when regular church-goers should be inviting the people around them to Easter service, especially those who may be hesitant to walk through the doors any other day of the year. In 2018 Pew Research found that 28% of Christians haven’t found a home church. Why not invite a friend who might be hoping to find one?

Go a step further and make yourself present to the people you invited on the day of the service. It eliminates the scary, “will everyone be judging me?” feeling that many people first feel when they go to a new church. I found myself in this position after moving across the country. After attending a church service, I met another young lady around my age who invited me to a service for young adults. She didn’t just invite me—she met me there, took me around the church, had me meet people and spent her time at the service with me. There, I met some great friends who were kind and compassionate with open hearts and arms to receive me. Just the small fact that someone made the effort to reach out to me has made a major difference in my life.

I encourage you, too to reach out to someone else this Easter. You never know the kind of impact you may have on them. {eoa}

Writer’s Note: Before you proceed, let my once “trans” friend share in a few short minutes her amazing story.

The American College of Pediatricians states: “The best long-term research shows that individuals who go through medical transition kill themselves at a rate 19 times the general population.” Yet Joe Biden told us recently that “it’s close to sinful” (to not support this) and “we need to pass federal laws like we did with same-sex marriage.” Young girls breast removal and young boys chemical castration? This is transgender madness.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Cher, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening proudly proclaim they have a “trans” child; the Grammys award a transgender singer; Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner appears as Caitlyn; Hershey features a trans in ads; and Biden’s transgender appointee, Rachel Levine, uses his/her transgender notoriety to say that LGBTQ kids should “replace their parents with one supportive adult.”

Project Veritas just released an expose video you can watch, showing how New York teachers instruct other teachers in a conference on how to secretly promote transgenderism to their students.

Last week, a Virginia dad phoned me, desperate for help dealing with a teenage daughter thinking she’s a boy. I shared biblical counsel to rescue her, like I’m doing here.

Stop Sexualizing Kids

Here in Tennessee our state legislature just passed a bill banning gender-transitioning for minors, while parents are working with politicians in states to stop secret coaching of sexual “transitioning” in schools after a 12-year-old girl in Florida attempted suicide twice after being assisted in transitioning without her parents being informed!

Parents throughout America are waking up and taking action for the protection and prevention of our children being propagandized by progressives pushing perversion on children. Kudos to Prager University for their “Protect Children’s Innocence Campaign” supported by thousands across America.

In Abigail Shrier’s book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters,” she points out how social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) and peer influence have caused an incredible uptick in youth being seduced. Not long ago we had maybe one in 10,000 high school students identifying as transgender and almost none of them were girls. Then between 2016-17 girls seeking gender transition surgery quadrupled!

Malevolent forces in our culture work through radical progressives, Hollywood, the music industry and social media to lure impressionable, peer-dependent youth.

Gender dysphoria (confusion/discomfort with one’s biological sex) has always existed, but now the problem is exploding as Satan exploits it to destroy our precious young people. I’ve advised parents to watch a documentary on the life of famous singer Karen Carpenter. She was praised by her peers as possessing the purest voice of her generation (36 million record sales) yet she deceived herself at 90 lbs. that she was fat and starved herself to death at 32.

4 Steps to Stop Seduction

1. Spiritual warfare. As parents and pastors, we must remain steadfast in intercessory prayer on behalf of our young people. We have power over the evil one who is a defeated foe! We must exercise our authority, resist the devil and “cast out demons” in Jesus Name.

2. Stand guard. We must be “watchmen on the wall” safeguarding our families from ungodly influences. We must “give no opportunity to the devil” to work through computers, iPhones, cable, TV, music, books, magazines and friends who don’t share a clear-cut biblical worldview. “He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.” (Prov. 13:20).

3. Stop deception. In school and church settings, survey and stop any unbiblical teaching about sexuality and gender selection. God is our Creator and He made us “male and female” and that’s not left up to us to decide!

4. Showcase masculinity and femininity. Contrary to what our culture puts forth, God designed men and women with different traits and roles that our children need to see so they can emulate. Learn what scripture teaches about men and women, and then live your life to the fullest according to God’s magnificent design.

Here’s the Deal: Jesus Christ said, “The thief (Satan) comes only to steal, kill and destroy but I came that you might have life and have it in abundance” (John 10:10). In a few weeks, I will celebrate with my wife our 47th wedding anniversary and I can testify that by living God’s way I found Jesus delivers as advertised!

Hollywood A-lister Mark Wahlberg is speaking out about the impact of moving his family out of Tinseltown, noting his kids have “thrived” since the family’s exit last year.

“It’s really giving the kids a chance to thrive,” Wahlberg told Fox News of his Nevada relocation.

Despite what some might believe about Las Vegas, the “Father Stu” star said the area to which his family moved has a great deal of focus on community and uplifting values.

“It just has the best of both worlds,” Wahlberg said. “I know a lot of people, when they think Las Vegas, they think the Strip. But just about 15, 20 minutes away, there’s a whole lot of other amazing areas that are all about family and community.”

While the actor said he hopes to build a studio in Las Vegas and “create lots of jobs,” the move was most rooted in helping his kids have opportunities to “pursue their goals and dreams.”

“My daughter’s an equestrian. My son’s a golfer,” Wahlberg said. “My oldest daughter, now she’s off to college. My son’s a junior.”

He added, “The kids are really happy, and it’s all about them.”

At only 18, Malachi Dawson has decided to set her generation on fire for God.

God has been revealing to her what His intentions are for her generation—to turn them into bold ambassadors for His kingdom.

Dawson recounted on “Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!” how after a couple of hours spent earnestly seeking her heavenly Father, she experienced a great encounter with God. It was during this moment she had a vision she believes was related to Generation Z and the plans God has for them.

“He began to show me that we’re breathing blue fire now,” Dawson said. “And the blue fire consumed the lamp that it was first bred on, and then it began to just continue to burn.”

After doing some research, Dawson discovered that blue flames are the hottest ones that exist.

“The Lord immediately began to give me revelation, and He was saying, ‘What is about to happen in Gen Z is unlike anything we’ve ever seen.'”

Dawson’s family shepherds Roar Church in the Texarkana area. Through her time with her family’s ministry, she was able to discern a very specific call on her life as an early teenager to reach out to her generation.

“I felt like God set something off inside of me and said, ‘Malachi, it’s time to call them back to life,'” Dawson said. “Call your generation back to life.”

This prompted Dawson to start her own ministry called “The Move” where she’s seeing other teens set free through the power of Christ during hours of praise and worship, which she believes is part of the flames of revival God is igniting on this generation.

“I think it’s different because there’s no limitations,” Dawson said. “We’ll be 10 songs in and people will be like ‘I’m getting tired,’ and we’re like, ‘but God still has something.’ So we continue to press and go after him with no restraint, just an open heaven.”

One of the most riveting and exciting nights Dawson experienced with the group of teens was after a three-hour service in the middle of a group dinner. During this time, one of the worship leaders hopped onto the restaurant’s table and burst out in song. The teens then ran to the parking lot and spent two more hours in worship.

Dawson’s story of being in-tune with the Holy Spirit is just one of many inspirational teens seeking out the presence of God. From what was seen at the Asbury revival and its overflow into other schools around the country, to events like Gen Z for Jesus and Passion Conferences, God is chasing after this generation, and they too are accepting the call.

Pastor and five-time Grammy nominee Travis Greene recently shared the reason he’s still alive today: his mother’s prayers.

Greene shared on Fox and Friends that as a four-year-old child he fell out of a window four stories high, which led to the pronouncement of his death. However, God had other plans for Greene that involved His resurrection power.

“We were living in Germany at the time,” Greene said. “Pronounced dead, my mother prayed for me and God restored my life so now we’re traveling the world letting people know that Jesus is real and He loves us.”

Greene has become known for his music with Forward City Church, which he and his wife planted in 2015, according to the Forward City Church website. The church is on a rapid growth track, last year celebrating 715 salvations and 209 baptisms. Greene says this year alone the church has welcomed in over 500 new people.

However, Greene’s success didn’t just happen overnight, and it hasn’t been without trials. In his latest sermon called “The Prophets,” Greene shared with his congregation about the purpose and ways that we can each find ourselves stuck in some type of bondage.

He shared the challenges he faced when he started his career. Churches couldn’t always pay him, and sometimes he had to stay in unclean hotels because of expenses. One of the points he made was that it is in the most grueling seasons of life that we can experience a sharpening and the preparation to have the kind of story God wants us to share.

“I had to sing ‘Made a Way,’ thank God for my miracle,” Greene said. “But a lot of people don’t know that a year later we had a miscarriage and the song doesn’t change just because the strange land comes. Have you ever had to sing in a strange land? I’m talking about singing ‘You’re a good, good father,’ when my good father died at the tender age of can sing when you’re on the mountain, but the valley will teach you how to worship God in spite of what you feel.”

Greene also shared with his congregation about the value of staying in covenant with God instead of getting caught up by the idols of this world.

“The prophets warned over and over ‘don’t break covenant,'” Greene said. “Because idols are convenient, but they have consequences.”

Greene has seen resurrection power in multiple ways. From being declared dead as a child, to a bumpy road into his music career and even experiencing the loss of an unborn baby, God has proven Himself faithful to Greene in all circumstances, turning Greene into a man of miracles. {eoa}

The latest album out by Greene and Forward City is “Tent Revival,” with their newest album ‘Expect Impossible’ releasing on Good Friday, April 7.

An evangelist and political commentator, Mario Murillo has a message for a part of the church whom he says may have put too much stock into one former President Donald Trump to be a savior for America.

Murillo says Trump is a good man and did a great deal of good for the country between 2017 and 2021. But what many Christians need to understand, Murillo says, is that Trump is human, and that is he not the end-all, be-all of existence for America, especially when it comes time to elect another president in November 2024.

Trump is one of the leading Republican candidates heading into election season next year.

“Trump isn’t going to save America,” Murillo told Charisma News’ John Matarazzo during the recent Fire and Glory Conference in Ocala, Florida. “Here’s the thing that I think is the most important element in all of this is that we have to recognize of the humanity of Trump, who is going to have an issue with his strong support for gay rights, and that’s not going to wash with the church.

“He has also had strong support for the vaccine, which has put people off. They are starting to realize he is a man; he is human. No matter who we get enamored with, there is going to be something we don’t like about him.

“So, he’s called Cyrus, right? We call him King Cyrus. He’s the same as the king in the Old Testament that said to Israel, ‘Go back to your homeland and rebuild the temple.’ But if you read that, and you say Trump is like Cyrus, you have to come to one conclusion. Cyrus only helped Israel for a very short period of time, then his influence just ended.”

However, in his four-year tenure as president, Donald Trump did some very good things for the kingdom, Murillo says.

“He opened the door for the church,” Murillo says. “He’s provided an interference from the persecution of the church—for the right church—not the woke church that has compromised its leadership. But he’s opened the door for the people who truly understand revival to stand up, seize the moment, go into these mountains of influence and save the culture.”

Whether or not Trump will be re-elected to the nation’s highest office for four more years—as some predicted he would have eight years in office—remains to be seen. Whether or not he will even be the Republican candidate also remains to be seen.

But Murillo says that Trump’s quest of Making America Great Again continues to be a noble idea.

“I think Donald Trump represents the audacity of the kind of moguls that built America; the Henry Fords and those people,” Murillo says. “And so people feel nostalgia for him. But what I don’t think that people realize is that God is turning that into a hunger for Christ.” {eoa}

Over the past three years, internet comedian JP Sears says he has found himself “getting accidentally” more Christian.

A man who formerly had a great deal of judgment against religion and Christianity, Sears says he was wrong, and he has definitely changed his mind about God and what our Lord and Savior has to offer.

And Sears is certainly making an impact. In addition to have more than million subscribers on YouTube, he also has 1.1 million followers on Instagram, more than 342,000 followers on Twitter and more than 3 million followers on Facebook.

Jesus would be proud of such audience, especially for a man who shares the gospel not only with believers but with non-believers as well.

In this video, in which he offers no apologies for it not being comedic, Sears says he used to think that religion was “outdated” and wondered why others wouldn’t join him in becoming more “spiritual.”

Of course years ago, in Sears’ mind, spiritual meant something much different, and out of “spiritual arrogance” he was excluding what he called “some amazing traditional Christian values, beliefs of God and ways of connecting with God” that he now cherishes as a believer in Christ.

His words “becoming more Christian” have caused a stir among some believers, but his growth as a believer is certainly no accident. With his social media influence and his love for Jesus, God certainly has a plan for him to reach the masses with the gospel.

“One observation I’ve had, especially since the #plandemic, is that I’m becoming more and more Christian without intentionally trying,” says Sears, whose fans know him for his satirical videos in which he promotes conservative political views. “I wasn’t on a mission that, like, ‘hey, I want to become more Christian.’ It’s just been effortlessly happening for me.

“I don’t think I’m unique. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are telling me similar stories. So, I have asked the question, ‘why are people getting more Christian without even trying?'”

During the COVID pandemic, the 41-year-old Sears was outspoken in his views against face mask and vaccine mandates. That in itself helped him to exponentially grow his social media audience.

Sears says at one time “I used to have shame about saying the word ‘God.'” Instead, he would use words like ‘universe,’ ‘all-knowing’ and others he used to create for a higher being.

“I’m delighted to say that I know longer have that problem,” he says. “I actually have joy in saying, ‘God.'”

So what was it that changed Sears’ view about Jesus? He began to take notice, he said, that “the presence of evil and Satan and the evil that emanates from Satan has never been more obvious” than it is in our world today.

“Evil isn’t hiding anymore, especially in the last three years,” Sears says. “It’s coming at us through authoritarianism, movements, people, groups, companies. They are trying to invade your minds and invade your God-given free will.

“As that becomes more obvious, I think there’s a natural polarity that happens. If you’re not someone who is willing to do the devil’s bidding, if you’re not willing to propagate evil, then there’s a natural occurrence. When you are in the presence of evil, you polarize to the other extreme of God. The presence of evil makes you lean away, and what direction are you leaning toward? It had better be the direction of God.”

What He Now Believes

“I now look at traditional Christian values with a lot of respect and reverence,” Sears says. “I am integrating those into my life. I will make no claims that I’m the world’s best Christian, but I am looking at these Christian values and they make way more sense to me now than they used to. Christian values around faith in God, Christian values around family first.

“I now believe that the power of prayer is the most important thing that you and I can have. I believe prayer is powerful, and it brings about change because prayer brings God into a place where He is needed.”

Sears says he also believes that we are now in a time of intense spiritual warfare. It’s a daily fight between God and Satan for you and for your children.

But in the end, we know who wins.

“What’s on the line is me and you,” he says. … “Even though we see these things playing out at a physical level, what we’re seeing is symptoms of what is happening more a metaphysical level. God and Satan are at war for our souls and the souls of our children. What we are doing, our actions, our thoughts and words is determining which side of the spiritual warfare we’re fighting on.”

4 Things We Can Do to Bring More God into the World

Sears says that we can join that fight by doing four simple things:

• Very intentionally have faith in God. “God has a plan and our backs, and our job is to be the best servant we can to that plan,” he says.
• Listen to God. “We’ve all got noise going on through our head, our own thoughts and outside noise. We need to be good listeners so we can be guided by God.”
• Pray often. “Know when people are in need. Pray for yourself, your family and your circumstances. Pray for the world at large, even for the evil authoritarians.”
• Live a life of service. “We have to be willing to abandon our own desires to be of service to others. True happiness, fulfillment and meaning in life absolutely requires us to be of service to a greater good for other people.”

Recently, while praying with some friends, I saw a vision of multitudes of people in the Valley of Decision, and they were descending into a pit that I knew was hell.

I began to cry out, and my friends began to cry out. It was like we cried out with one voice. My friends took ahold together with me in prayer. We came into agreement. And as we prayed, we were pulling people up out of that pit.

Some people came all the way out, and some people slowed their descent. This is the power of our prayers for the lost. We can rescue them from darkness and bring them to the light of Christ.

God is very interested in saving everyone, bringing them to the knowledge of the truth (see 2 Pet. 3:9). He is not content to leave anyone behind. God loves that one lost individual in your sphere of influence so much that, if He had to, He would have sent Jesus just for that one person.

That’s how much He loves each one of us and why Jesus’ stated mission on earth was to seek and save the lost.

Now, in Heaven, Jesus is the great intercessor, and His eyes are on all the lost people of the earth—including your friends and family members. He calls us to share the gospel with them, according to the Spirit’s leading (it is important to follow His guidance about when and how).

And He calls us to pray. Every time is a good time to pray for our unsaved friends and family. Through our intercession, we can do a work for them in the spirit that will help prepare the way for them to turn their hearts to Jesus.

I believe we should pray for the lost in six strategic ways:

1. Pray the Scripture (see 1 Cor. 14:14-15)
2. Pray to Remove Infirmities (see Rom. 15:1)
3. Pray with Your Authority (see John 14:14)
4. Pray for Protection (see Heb. 1:14)
5. Pray for Conviction and Revelation (see Eph. 1:16-20; 3:17-19)
6. Pray for Laborers (see Matt. 9:37)

In future blog posts, I will highlight and explain each of these six strategic prayers. For now, what you need to know is that the Bible promises that “the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16 NKJV). In other words, your prayers work.

They open the door for God to work in your friends’ and family members’ lives, which will eventually cause them to turn to Christ.

Believe that your prayers are mighty. The devil is afraid you will really get this revelation and rise up, taking your place in prayer as a watchman on the wall for those in your sphere of influence.

He is terrified, because he knows what is possible when you pray. God is ready and eager to work miracles in the lives the people you prayer for. He simply awaits your partnership.

What if the blueprint for the temple, laid out in numerous places across the Bible depicted a clear understanding of how demons can affect the life of a Christian? The topic of whether a Christian can be demon possessed has been permeating social media channels with commentary in every direction.

I interviewed Alexander Pagani the author of “The Secret to Deliverance,” on my “Strang Report” podcast to talk about the word picture painted in the Bible. Most Christians don’t acknowledge that Satan is influencing them and their circumstances.

“A Christian cannot be demon-possessed, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, we have the earnest expectation of the Holy Spirit living on the inside and we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. So there is an enormous amount of Scriptures that say that we are in him or in Christ, it is impossible, the Christian is not demon-possessed,” Pagani clarifies.

The word picture Pagani uses to represent the bridge between demons influencing Christians’ lives are the rooms in a house.

In John 9 Jesus heals the man who was born blind. He spits in the dirt forming clay and rubs it over the man’s eyes. The Pharisees came to investigate the healing and criticized Jesus for not keeping the Sabbath day. Jesus asked them why they aren’t able to understand His speech. He then told them it was because there was no room in their heart.

“One day reading Mark 5, this question came to me. ‘Where does Legion go when it inhabits a human soul?'” Pagani says.

In 1 Kings chapter 6, Solomon builds the temple. There is the outer court, the holy place and the most holy place. “Then the next verse says Solomon also built a complex of rooms on three floors,” Pagani says.

The same pastor who was once closed off to the ministry of deliverance was getting revelation from God on that very topic. “I had a brief moment where I went through, as most pastors do, a struggle with the ministry and started to consider ‘maybe I’m done, I’m ready to quit,'” he says.

Pagani started reading material on deliverance from Derek Prince, and he sought out a pastor for deliverance in his own life. The power of desperation led him to a deliverance session. He was free from the demonic anger that was continually rising up in him affecting his ministry and family.

After that, “People started coming to the church asking for deliverance,” he says.

Knowing he needed to help other unbelieving pastors, he decided to write his book. “You don’t win your pastor over with experience, we want to see it in Scripture,” Pagani says.

When he read the vision Ezekiel had concerning the spiritual temple of Jerusalem, he saw another similar pattern. “Ezekiel chapters 42 through 45, those three chapters are dedicated to all three floors, and all the rooms, it actually even goes a step further and says that ‘I, Ezekiel, was shown a vision and I was shown the temple, and I saw three different floors and 30 rooms in each floor’,” Pagani says.

That started the revelation for him that a legion of demons could occupy those rooms.

“Schizophrenia and dissociative personality disorder potentially could be nothing more than the human being having issues in these three floors,” he says.

We know that the spiritual world is more real than the physical world that we see, yet humans tend to pay attention more to the physical. These word pictures are helpful to us to gain understanding.

There was a pastor in the Nashville area who was confronted by a manifestation of an evil spirit in his church and found “The Secrets to Deliverance,” written by Pagani. That pastor was Greg Locke, and he ended up releasing a documentary “Come Out in Jesus’ Name.”

The film has been very successful with two more air dates after Easter, on April 10th and 11th. I personally went to the theatre to watch the film and the powerful documentation of deliverance that has transpired in the last few years was opening the eyes and hearts of the people in the room.

After the film was over, there was a live stream with a mass deliverance. There have been numerous reports at theatres around the country where people were delivered and revival prayer meetings broke out.

In my upcoming book, “Spirit-Led Living in an Upside-Down World,” I dedicate an entire chapter to deliverance and my personal testimony of deliverance in college.

Tune in to the rest of the interview with Alexander Pagani here.
