Why Most Christians Lose Battles with Demons, and How to Win Them

In a recent teaching by John and Lisa Bevere titled “How to Actually Fight Demons (and Win),” the two define a clear, practical guide for believers facing spiritual warfare today. They emphasized the importance of putting on the “whole armor of God,” as described in Ephesians 6, rather than engaging in battles on a purely human or political level.

“You’re dealing with something that you’ll never win if you don’t put on the whole armor of God,” John said. “Not the partial armor of God.”

“The sword of the Spirit isn’t just supposed to be studied. It’s supposed to be used,” Lisa added.



They explained that the real enemy operates not through flesh and blood but as the apostle Paul said, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This means the real fight is not against people but against demonic forces seeking to destroy unity, especially within families and marriages.

The Beveres warn against wasting energy on quarrels that focus on race, gender or political figures. Instead, believers are called to focus on spiritual prayer and submission.

The armor of God is not just symbolic, it represents spiritual disciplines and practical actions Christians must take to stand firm. The belt of truth grounds us in God’s Word, which Jesus Himself declared as truth. The breastplate of righteousness means living in obedience to God’s commands, walking in the righteousness provided through Christ, empowered by His divine nature.

One of the most relatable pieces of the armor of God they talked about was the shoes of peace, which Lisa connected to the inner calm believers must choose in turbulent times. “You can choose what you allow to rule your life.”

The shield of faith, as they pointed out, is essential for extinguishing the fiery darts of the enemy. These darts often come as harmful words, criticism and accusations, especially on social media in today’s world. The two emphasize how words have power, just as Scripture tells us that “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Faith is built by hearing and obeying God’s Word, and obedience is the highest form of spiritual warfare.

Next comes the helmet of salvation, which protects the mind by anchoring believers in the hope of Christ’s return and the resurrection of the body. This hope renews the mind and guards it from lies, fear and confusion, reminding believers of their identity and ultimate victory.

Finally, the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, is the weapon that Christians can use to defeat all power of the enemy because it is “alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword.”

Victory in spiritual warfare doesn’t come from emotion, argument or human strength, it comes through obedience, prayer and wielding the Word of God with authority. The battle is real, but so is the victory promised to those who fight God’s way.

Glenn Beck Warning: Russia, AI and the Rise of Digital Deception

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck issued a stark warning about the rising threat of artificial intelligence in the hands of ideological extremists, specifically targeting Russian strategist Alexander Dugin.

Often referred to as “Putin’s brain,” Dugin has long been known for his radical geopolitical ideas. But now, Beck says, AI is giving him an even more dangerous platform.

“Alexander Dugin, if you don’t know who he is, real, real dangerous person out of Russia. He’s Putin’s brain. He’s the guy who came up with the strategy in Crimea for the takeover,” Beck said. “He is a religious zealot, although he is, I believe, atheist.”



Beck explained that Dugin uses chaos as his core strategy, adding, “His symbol that he uses is the ancient symbol for chaos. He has put the strategy together that brought Russia and Iran together.” Dugin, Beck says, believes “Russia is the rightful heir to the Roman Empire,” and wants to ignite global war to erase modern civilization and start over: “He just wants to go back in time just a few hundred years.”

What shocked Beck even more than Dugin’s ideology was a video clip he and his team found online. “Here he is yesterday online, a clip that we found of him that he just put out. Listen to what he’s saying here.” But after playing the clip, Beck made a chilling revelation: “He didn’t say any of that. That’s AI. And you can watch that and you’d have absolutely no idea that’s not him.”

Beck emphasized, “Now he can just use AI and preach to the masses and sound very, very sane and very, very competent, which is crazy.” He pointed out that the usual red flags, like Dugin’s thick accent, were gone: “Notice he didn’t, he sometimes he’s hard to understand. He’s got a heavy Russian accent. Notice he didn’t there.”

Jason Buttrill, a military expert and chief writer and researcher for The Blaze, explained that Dugin is panicking over U.S. actions in the Middle East: “…Iran was very integral into Russia’s overall plans of establishing what they call the multipolar war.” He added, “What they want is their multiple polars within the one big polar that controls the world.”

Dugin, Buttrill warned, believes in hastening the end times. “He does believe in the end times, but he believes in it the way that the Iranians do—that they can hasten it. He wants to hurry it up.”

Beck warned of the larger implications. “We are on the verge of radical advancement and we cannot allow the left and the bad guys to dominate.” He stressed the importance of ethics in AI development: “We’re putting things together that are watermarked so you will know what the difference is between really me and AI me.”

Calling AI “the most powerful tool ever invented,” Beck concluded, “We cannot allow this to just be owned by the Left because Dugin is using it. We must find really positive ways to do it and use it ourselves.”

As technology advances at breakneck speed, tools like AI are no longer neutral, they’re being used to shape minds, manipulate truth and even prepare the world for chaos. Beck’s warning about Alexander Dugin’s AI-generated message isn’t just about geopolitics; it’s a spiritual wake-up call. The Bible tells us that in the last days, deception will increase, and lawlessness will abound. What we’re witnessing is not just political warfare, but a deeper battle between light and darkness truth and falsehood.

For believers, this is a time to be alert and discerning. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that false prophets would rise and deceive many. As AI blurs the lines between truth and fiction, it’s more important than ever to be grounded in God’s Word and led by the Holy Spirit. We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. This is a call to action for the church to stand firm, speak truth boldly and shine the light of Christ in a world increasingly gripped by technological and spiritual deception.

Was Kim Clement Right? Prophetic Word on ‘No World War’ Comes to Pass Amid Ceasefire

In a surprising prophetic word spoken back in 2013 by the late Kim Clement, current ceasefire events between the Israel and Iran just may be the result of God fulfilling His promise to His people.

Clement prophesied that the Christ would be the rock for this generation, and because of His Lordship to the people, another world war would not yet hit the nations.

“God says, there is a new way and yet it is an old way. I am a stone for this generation. I am the stone for this generation. That stone is My son. That stone is the rock, Christ Jesus, and that stone shall be given to the Davids of this generation, and they shall bring down the force of hell that is crying from Russia and Syria, from Iran, from allover the world crying, ‘Give us blood, give us blood, give us blood, give us blood.’ But the Spirit says, ‘No, there shall be no world war yet.'”



Clement then prophesied that a revival of society would tear down the gates of hell.

“For I have yet to show you the manifestation of a rock in the hand of a generation that shall bring down the voice of hell. For this is My will. Look, for it is coming, says the Spirit of God,” Clement prophesied.

As believers watch prophetic events unfold on the world stage, Clement’s word serve as both a warning and a reassurance: the battle belongs to the Lord. In a time when war cries echo from every corner of the globe, the promise remains that Christ as our rock stands immovable.

This is not the time for passivity, but for positioning. If God is raising up a generation of Davids, then every believer has a part to play in tearing down the strongholds of darkness through prayer, truth and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.

The absence of world war is not the end. It’s the opening for revival, a divine setup for the gospel to advance and the kingdom to rise. Let us not waste the delay but rise up, armed with the Rock, ready to confront the voices of hell with the voice of heaven.

Mike Signorelli Confronts the Dangerous Rise of Deliverance for Profit

In today’s church landscape, the word deliverance often stirs up confusion, skepticism or sensationalism. For some, it’s a deeply Pentecostal term tied to outdated emotionalism. For others, it’s a misunderstood practice that’s either overemphasized or completely ignored. In a new interview with Lecrae, Pastor Mike Signorelli is challenging both extremes by calling believers back to a biblical foundation.

“Let’s stop being denominational and let’s start being biblical,” Signorelli urges.

Signorelli’s own journey into becoming an unexpected voice in the deliverance conversation started not with ambition but necessity. As the global pandemic hit, his multi-site church in New York City was suddenly forced online. “I had traveled all over the world ministering to thousands of people and it never occurred to me to film it and put it on the internet. If anything, that felt wrong to me,” he said.

But during the lockdown, a flood of online questions came pouring in, and one topic stood out. “People kept asking, ‘What about demons?’ So I thought, okay, I’ll bring clarity because of all the abuse in this area.” What began as a simple Bible study turned into something unexpected. “I start praying, and people are in the comments like, ‘I’m throwing up in my bathroom,’ ‘I’m convulsing,’ and I didn’t even know that could happen over the internet.”

While some have exploited deliverance as a show or a product, Signorelli sees it differently. “I’m not demon-obsessed. But I believe that when you host the presence of the Holy Spirit, there should be moments… where demons are manifesting in that environment,” he explains. “Deliverance is the children’s bread.”

But he also offers a sharp rebuke to the ways deliverance has been monetized and misused. “There are some ministers whose goal is to draw more demons than to draw people to Christ,” he warns. “Don’t let the people put you in the roster of a spiritual leader like a guru or a psychic. That’s paganism in disguise.”



For Signorelli, true deliverance is deeply tied to the gospel, not as the main point, but as its natural consequence. “Deliverance should be the unintended consequence of preaching the gospel,” he says. “Do you want the healer, or just the healing? Do you want the Deliverer, or just deliverance?”

This distinction matters now more than ever. “The person who’s seeking relief is going to be manipulated by the person who’s monetized relief,” he says. “Are they giving you pain pills or are they giving you a cure?”

Deliverance was never meant to be a spectacle or a side hustle, it’s the natural overflow of a life centered on Christ. In a church culture that often leans into extremes, Signorelli is sounding a balanced alarm: Don’t forsake deliverance, but don’t forget the Deliverer.

Franklin Graham Shares Urgent Message on Armageddon and the Last Days

The Rev. Franklin Graham is sharing an urgent warning about the necessity of Christ in our world today as we face the end times.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

As Christian Daily International reported, during a Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) God Loves You tour in London, Franklin Graham shared to the masses that time was running out before the return of Christ and now is the moment to turn toward Him.

With an attendance of more than 17,000 at the June 21 event, Graham discussed global issues with the world, urging listeners to lean into Jesus.



“Since I last preached here in London two years ago, the world seems to be one step closer to Armageddon,” says Graham. “Many people feel hopeless, and they’re asking, is the world running out of time? You can come to the One who can turn that around, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son.”

Graham then quoted John 3:16, calling all those in attendance to reach out to Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

In a world gripped by chaos, war and spiritual confusion, Graham’s message is more than a warning—it’s a call to radical surrender. As society edges ever closer to what Scripture describes as the final days, the need for a firm foundation in Christ has never been more urgent. It’s not enough to acknowledge Jesus as Savior; we must also recognize Him as Lord.

As we approach the end times, this kind of full surrender becomes not just important but essential. Graham’s powerful reminder in London makes it clear: the clock is ticking, and the only way to stand firm in the shaking is to fully submit to the King who never changes.

Jack Hibbs Responds to the Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz Israel Debate

Pastor Jack Hibbs has broken his usual rule of staying out of political disputes to respond to a public disagreement between Senator Ted Cruz and commentator Tucker Carlson. Their exchange over Israel’s biblical significance, he said, prompted him to step in, not to defend either man, but to defend Scripture.

“I don’t usually do this. I don’t usually insert myself in another man’s argument,” Hibbs said in the opening of his podcast. “But lately Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz got into it. And so because the Bible was brought up, I have to get into it.”

Hibbs acknowledged that he did not watch the entire Carlson–Cruz interview, but saw enough to raise concern. “I want to be really, really crystal clear on this… A lot of people at a time like this are biblically ignorant of what God says regarding Israel, the Jew, the nation of Israel and the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Christ.”

He criticized Carlson for “preloading” the interview with Cruz by asking obscure questions like the population of Iran. “It was definitely a setup,” Hibbs said. “There’s no doubt about it, you guys—Ted Cruz got caught with his Bible down. He didn’t have chapter and verse citations, but he had the doctrine correct.”



Though Carlson self-identified as a Christian in the interview, Hibbs questioned that claim based on personal experience. “I’ve been in events with Tucker Carlson where his cursing was so profound it would have made a sailor blush. I don’t know about that, we’ll let Jesus settle that.”

Hibbs said what troubled him most was Carlson’s reaction to Cruz’s reference to God’s promise to bless Israel. “Tucker Carlson puts a scowl on his face as though he’s hearing something… maybe he is for the first time.”

In defense of Cruz’s paraphrase of Genesis 12, Hibbs quoted directly from the passage: “Now the Lord had said to Abram, ‘Get out of your country… I will make you a great nation… I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.’”

Hibbs went on to affirm that this blessing applies not only to Abraham’s descendants, but also to the modern state of Israel. “A nation is a government. A government is a nation. That’s why the Bible says God establishes nations, governments, kings, rulers and leaders.”

Hibbs also examined the prophetic fulfillment of the birth of Israel as a nation as a sign of God’s hand upon them as a sovereignly chosen people. Isaiah 66:8 says, “Shall a nation be born in a day? He then noted that “May 14th, 1948, Israel was born in a day.” This moment, as Hibbs described it, was a “miraculous” and unique one in human history.

In a time of rising confusion and division, Hibbs brings the conversation back to Scripture, urging believers to ground their views in the Word of God.

His message is clear: support for Israel isn’t about politics, personalities or popular opinion; it’s about aligning with God’s eternal covenant and prophetic plan.

Why the World Hates Israel, and What the Bible Says Will Happen Next

In a passionate message by Pastor Vlad Savchuk, he challenges the growing hostility toward Israel within the Church and reminds Christians of God’s unchanging promises to His people.

“With what’s happening in Israel, I have realized how much anti-Semitism actually exists today in the church,” Savchuk says. He describes how calls to pray for Israel were met with backlash from both believers and unbelievers, accusing him of supporting an oppressor.

However, he clarifies, “We are not throwing our hat in support for everything Israel stands for and everything Israel does.” Instead, he urges believers to differentiate between political imperfection and spiritual mandate.

Quoting Deuteronomy 7:6–8, Savchuk reminds listeners that God chose Israel not because of their greatness but simply because of His love and His oath to the patriarchs. “This may trigger some of us… but that’s the Bible. And this is not speaking of Slavics, Hispanicsor people in Africa or Asia. This is speaking of the Jewish people.” He emphasizes that the promise to Israel includes both a spiritual calling and a physical land: “God gives him an oath that Abraham will have a land that will belong to him and his descendants forever.”

Addressing the modern conflict, Savchuk warns that the battle is deeper than politics: “Hamas is the spirit of Hitler. It’s the spirit of the Antichrist. They want to wipe them out completely. There’s nothing to do about the land.” He also affirms Israel’s enduring claim to the land: “The promised land to Israel is permanent. The European Union cannot change can change that. That is God’s promise, and that doesn’t change.”

Through a prophetic analogy, Savchuk likens Israel’s future salvation to Joseph’s reconciliation with his brothers. Just as Joseph revealed himself after the third visit, he says Israel has returned to the land three times, the most recent being in 1948. “They are ripe right now for that time when the Bible says they will look at Him whom they pierced.”

Understanding Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan sharpens our view of prophecy, deepens our faith in God’s promises, and prepares us for the return of Christ. Now more than ever, the Church must respond not with compromise, but with conviction.

Jimmy Swaggart’s Powerful Teaching on Israel’s Role in Biblical Prophecy

In a classic teaching by Jimmy Swaggart on biblical prophecy, he described the spiritual state of Israel and its significance in God’s plan, with strong warnings for both Israel and the modern church.

Swaggart’s message emphasized that Israel, despite its historical significance, has not been spiritually saved as a nation due to its rejection of Jesus Christ.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

“The one Savior,” Swaggart declared, “that’s Jesus Christ. It’s for all Jews, Gentiles, black, brown, white, red, yellow—it makes no difference who the people are.” He firmly rejected teachings claiming that Jews have a different path to salvation: “You won’t find such foolishness in the Word of God.”

Citing Romans 10, Swaggart explained Israel’s spiritual failure: “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God… but not according to knowledge… they being ignorant of God’s righteousness.” This ignorance, he said, was “willful,” with Israel “going about to establish their own righteousness” apart from faith in Christ.

The apostle Paul’s warning to the church was also brought into focus. “Because of unbelief they were broken off,” referencing Romans 11:20. Swaggart stressed that this unbelief concerns rejection of Christ and the cross. “If you reject Christ and the cross, you will be doing the same thing that Israel did and you will be cut off exactly as Israel was cut off.”

He went further to warn that the modern church has already experienced a form of apostasy: “The church has already apostasy. It has already been cut off,” pointing to Revelation 3’s message to the Laodicean church, which claimed to be “rich” yet was “wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.”

Amid warnings of widespread false teaching, Swaggart provides a stark warning: “I would say that 90% probably… of what is being taught and preached over so-called Christian radio, so-called Christian television… is false doctrine.” Romans 11 also promises that Israel’s rejection is temporary. “If they abide not still in unbelief, they shall be grafted in,” and “all Israel shall be saved” at Christ’s second coming.



The discussion then turned to America’s role in supporting Israel. Swaggart stressed that “a great part of the responsibility that has been given by God to this nation… the reason for our blessings and prosperity… is our protection of Israel.” He expressed concern that “the resolve of this nation to protect Israel is weakening” because “the church is weakening,” linking national spiritual health directly to Israel’s support.

Swaggart also addressed Jerusalem’s status with conviction. “Jerusalem is in effect the capital of Israel now… The whole land of Israel… from Dan to Beersheba… belongs to Israel promised to them by God.” Swaggart dismissed the legitimacy of Palestinians as a distinct historical people, calling the term a “coined” name to create a false narrative. While expressing compassion for Arab peoples, he asserted that Israel “cannot give up her sovereignty.”

Swaggart concluded his message with a sobering reminder that spiritual apostasy threatens both the church and the nation. As Swaggart put it, “Because the church is weakening, the resolve of this nation to protect Israel is weakening as well, which will bode no good for our country.”

This critical teaching by Swaggart challenges believers to remain vigilant, faithful and discerning as they navigate prophetic realities unfolding in Israel and the wider world.

Pastor Tackles Key Questions: Why Israel Is Central to God’s End-Times Plan

In a powerful Q&A session titled “Israel, Prophecy, End-Times, and Great Deception,” Pastor Greg Locke tackled tough questions about Israel and its role in the last days.

One of the core themes Locke spoke about was the covenant God made with Israel. Quoting Titus 1:2, he said, “In hopes of eternal salvation which God that cannot lie has promised them before the foundation of the world.” He emphasized, “The covenant with the people of Israel is not with their government. It’s with the people. It’s with bloodline Jews.”

Locke warned that “Israel is losing the social media battle,” citing foreign funding from Iran, Qatar and others “to literally change overnight… theological and historical perspective[s].”

He then offered key demographic context: “[Over] 7.2 million Jews live in the actual nation of Israel… 15.7 million worldwide. The second location of the world outside of Israel and Jerusalem would be New York City,” Locke said. He challenged the victim narrative that has been given about the Palestinians, saying, “Every Palestinian that lives in Israel gets free healthcare, gets free hospital stays, gets food stamps, gets housing. Stop all this oppression nonsense. They are more blessed than some of us.”



On theological clarity, he refuted replacement theology: “Replacement theology… is the idea that the Church has replaced Israel. I do believe that Israel and the Church are separate.” Locke declared, “You have salvation because Jews gave it to you. You have a Jewish Bible. You have a Jewish Savior. All of the apostles were Jewish. Every prophet in the Bible was Jewish. Every writer of the Gospels except Luke was Jewish.”

A particularly prophetic moment came when Locke spoke about freedom on the horizon for the Middle East: “The word of the Lord: Iran will be free… The regime in Iran will fall… and we will reach the nation of Iran with the gospel… The only way we will ever be able to do that is to sit back, be quiet and let Israel do what they need to do to clean up that mess,” he said.

Locke then warned the body of Christ against disrespecting the nation of Israel on social platforms. “To disrespect [Israel] on social media is a slap in God’s face,” he said, adding, “We were grafted into the olive tree of the Jewish people through faith and the blood of Jesus.”

In a world flooded with misinformation and spiritual deception, understanding Israel’s unique role in God’s plan is crucial for every believer. The biblical covenant with Israel is unbreakable, and the nation remains central to the unfolding story of the end times. As the Church faces increasing challenges and confusion, it must stand firm in biblical truth, reject divisive theologies that undermine God’s promises and embrace its calling to support and pray for Israel.

Tesla’s Mysterious Code and the God Behind the Universe’s Hidden Patterns

Nikola Tesla’s contributions to modern science and technology are indisputable, wireless electricity, the AC motor and radio all trace back to his brilliance. Yet one of his most enigmatic beliefs remains less discussed: Tesla’s spiritual obsession with the numbers three, six and nine.

In a video by Off the Kirb Ministries, Joe Kirby takes a look at Tesla’s interesting method by which he lived, and the connection he had to this particular set of numbers.

“This is pretty bold, even for Tesla,” Kirby says. “I mean, the man did help invent radio, remote control, the AC motor and even wireless electricity. So when he says something like that, I think we’re at least curious to know why.”



Tesla didn’t simply admire these numbers; he lived by them with near-religious devotion. “He’d walk around a building three times before entering, he’d stay in hotel rooms only divisible by three,” Kirby explains. “He used 18 napkins, which is three times six, to wipe down his cutlery before eating. I mean, these are proper rituals.”

The fascination wasn’t just superstition. Tesla reportedly said, “If mankind could understand the significance of three, six and nine, they would have the keys to the universe.”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Kirby points to the repetition of these numbers in nature and physics. “Atoms have three main components: protons, neutrons and electrons. Light splits into three primary colors: red, green and blue. DNA’s genetic code is read in triplets called codons,” Kirby says. “And don’t forget: human pregnancy lasts nine months. There are nine essential amino acids. Nine keeps popping up.”

Kirby continues, “the structure of a sunflower seed follows the Fibonacci sequence, which often loops back to nine when reducing the numbers to a single digit.”

More than coincidence, Tesla believed this triad was the underlying structure of the universe, a divine fingerprint. “They’re not just in sequence—it’s like they’re outside the pattern, not part of the material loop but floating above it somehow,” Kirby claims. “A bit like an invisible framework holding everything together without being seen.”

The video then takes a spiritual turn, asking: If numbers contain such mysteries, what does that say about their origin?

“A wiser man than me once said, ‘Mathematics is just thinking God’s thoughts after Him,’” Kirby states. From there, he presents God not just as a creator, but as a divine accountant.

“He counts the stars,” he says, referencing Psalm 147:4. “He counts the number of hairs on your head. He even collects all of our tears in a bottle.”

Join Charisma Magazine Online to follow everything the Holy Spirit is doing around the world!

Yet, he adds, there is one thing God chooses not to count: forgiven sin. “The Bible says, ‘Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,’” Kirby explains. “If your sin has been forgiven… the Lord stops counting your sins.”

In a universe filled with patterns, precision, and mystery, it’s no wonder a mind like Tesla’s was captivated by the hidden structure behind it all. But beyond the numbers and geometry lies something even greater—a Creator who not only designed the cosmos with intentional beauty but also invites each of us into relationship. The real key to the universe may not just be found in understanding patterns, but in knowing the One who created them.
