In a recent prophetic message by Rabbi Kirt Schneider, believers are urged to resist the false comfort of political victories and recognize the deeper, spiritual realities at play in today’s world.

While the recent U.S. bombing of Iran may appear to be a step toward national security, Schneider cautions us not to lean on such actions as assurance of true peace. “We may have taken down one threat,” he says, “but the world is still brimming with danger.”

Nine countries currently possess nuclear weapons, including nations not aligned with the United States. Schneider warns that nuclear threats remain alive and well, with the potential for weapons to fall into the hands of rogue states or bad actors. “Even if Iran’s nuclear ambitions were set back,” he explains, “other nations are watching, reacting and potentially preparing their own responses.”

Referencing 1 Thessalonians 5:3, Schneider gives a sobering warning: “While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them.” In this age of fragile alliances and unpredictable reactions, the illusion of peace could easily be shattered in a moment. Schneider’s prophetic insight reminds us that the real danger isn’t merely political or military, but is rather activated in the spiritual realm.

“Our kingdom is not of this should be informed, yes,” he states, “but never deceived into believing that peace comes from man’s efforts alone.”

This warning is further emphasized by the rise of artificial intelligence.

“AI has descended on the world like a tsunami,” Schneider warns. “And while it’s useful, it’s also deeply dangerous.” He compares the current explosion of AI development to the Tower of Babel—a symbol of human pride and technological ambition that led to divine intervention.

Referencing AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, who resigned from Google to warn about the dangers of the technology he helped create, Schneider outlines multiple threats: AI’s uncontrolled growth, rampant disinformation, identity theft and job displacement. “It’s not just a tool,” he cautions. “It’s a spiritual battleground. Demonic forces are using this to erode the soul of humanity.”

However, even in the wake of fear and desperation, Schneider still leaves viewers with a bold encouragement. This, he believes, is the time to prepare, remain grounded in faith and reject fear. “The Proverbs 31 woman looked at the future and laughed,” he says, “not because there was no danger, but because she was prepared and trusted God.”

The world is shifting, but the Word of God remains firm. Now is the time for discernment, vigilance and faith rooted not in earthly powers, but in the eternal kingdom of Jesus, the only true hope for the nations.

In a heartfelt message, Perry Stone opened up about a deeply personal and impactful phone call he once received from evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, an encounter that would help shape his ministry and leave a lasting legacy on his spiritual journey. More than just a phone conversation, it was a symbol of mentorship, generosity and spiritual heritage.

Stone began by honoring Swaggart’s significant influence on a generation of ministers, including himself, Jentezen Franklin and Marcus Lamb. In the 1970s, as an 18-year-old launching Voice of Evangelism, then just a humble flyer, Stone drew inspiration from Swaggart’s widespread cassette ministry and his publication, The Evangelist. Though others mocked his vision, the Lord had confirmed the name and direction, and it has since grown into a global outreach.

Swaggart’s televised ministry was a must-watch on Sunday morning for Stone and many traveling evangelists. The powerful preaching, passionate worship and musical excellence of his TV broadcasting set a standard in evangelical media. Stone described how, before his own ministry had office space or staff, he looked at Swaggart’s operations with a prayerful desire: “Lord, one day help me to have the office space I need to do everything we do.” Today, Stone’s ministry spans 120 acres, a testimony to those early dreams.

During a difficult season in Stone’s life, a Spirit-led connection was made. Through mutual acquaintances, Stone received a phone call from Swaggart, and was given permission to use any of his artwork for his own books and publications, a gesture of generosity that came when Stone’s ministry was still in its early stages.

Stone also described insights he learned from Swaggart’s life about the rigors of television ministry and maintaining global outreach.

Stone went on to credit Swaggart with helping bring the message of the Holy Spirit into mainstream Christianity. Where once teachings on the Holy Spirit were limited to Pentecostal and charismatic churches, Swaggart began drawing Baptists, Methodists and even Catholics into Holy Spirit-filled meetings around the world.

For Stone, Swaggart’s influence wasn’t just professional, it was deeply personal and lifelong. “Before I was ever married he was very pivotal in my life,” he said. “After I got married, we watched him on TV consistently…”

As Jimmy Swaggart faces serious health challenges, Perry Stone’s tribute serves as a reminder of how one life, committed to preaching Christ and empowered by the Spirit, can touch millions—and inspire generations.

Social commentator Candace Owens stirred intense backlash after comparing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler in a recent social media post. Her remarks, made in response to a claim that Netanyahu embodies the traits the media falsely attributes to Russian President Vladimir Putin, included the assertion that Netanyahu “feels a bit more like everything high school wanted me to believe Adolf Hitler was.”

In a conversation hosted by CBN, Dumisani Washington, CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, responded to Owens’ comments, describing them as “heinous,” “false” and particularly dangerous because of how she “cloaks it in Christianity.”

Washington emphasized the gravity of the situation for believers: “She’s talking to you, she’s talking to me, she’s talking to other Christian pastors and community leaders,” he said.

Owens did not stop at the Hitler comparison. She went further, accusing Netanyahu of being an “ethnocentric imperialist monster” and implying he could have been involved in Epstein-like blackmail operations and political assassinations. Washington condemned these statements as modern-day blood libels, noting how they mirror propaganda often disseminated by Hamas and other enemies of Israel.

“People keep asking, ‘Is she being paid by someone?’” Washington said. “But the real issue isn’t why she’s doing it — it’s what she’s doing, and how clearly targeted it is against Christian support for Israel.”

The conversation shifted to the theological implications of Owens’ rhetoric. The host, Raj Nair, reflected on how many Christians struggle with the apparent disconnect between the Jewish people and the recognition of Jesus as Messiah, while overlooking the clear prophetic fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel that He will bring His chosen people back together into the land of Israel. “It’s like the Old Testament is smacking you in the face,” he said. “God says, ‘I’m doing this for My name’s sake.’”

Washington addressed the dangers of replacement theology, which seeks to apply all biblical blessings to the Church and strip Israel of its covenantal significance. He stressed that grace is undeserved for all, Christians and Jews alike, and that God’s faithfulness to Israel is a testimony of His character, not their perfection.

Referencing Isaiah 54:17, Washington reminded viewers that “no weapon formed against you shall prosper,” including verbal assaults and propaganda. “Those who come against Israel, whether individuals or nations, don’t fare well,” he warned.

He also drew a historical parallel, pointing to Ezra 4 where enemies of Israel wrote slanderous letters to the king of Persia to halt the rebuilding of Jerusalem. “These attacks, physical and propagandistic, are nothing new,” Washington said. “Babylon, Persia, the Nazis, they’re all gone. But God’s covenant with Israel stands.”

Finally, Washington urged Christians to remain grounded in Scripture. “Don’t get sucked into rhetoric that undermines God’s Word. Standing with Israel doesn’t mean endorsing every action in war, it means recognizing and honoring God’s eternal covenant.”

In a time when misinformation and spiritual confusion are spreading rapidly, the stakes are high for believers to stand firmly on biblical truth. As voices rise to distort Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan, it is more vital than ever for Christians to discern the times, uphold Scripture and refuse to be swayed by rhetoric that undermines God’s eternal promises. Standing with Israel is not about blind allegiance, but about honoring the God who never breaks His covenant.

As prophetic voice Amanda Grace pointed out in a recent livestream, a picture is unfolding before the world’s eyes, rooted in Daniel 10 and echoed in the modern-day conflict between Israel and Iran.

On June 24, 2025, a fragile ceasefire was declared, marking the end of what is now being called the “12-Day War.” Yet, beneath the headlines, a divine narrative is emerging, one that mirrors biblical patterns, spiritual warfare and prophetic timelines converging with stunning precision.

As Grace discussed, Daniel 10:4–14, recounts a vision on the 24th day of the first month, when the angel Gabriel broke through spiritual opposition after being delayed 21 days by the “prince of Persia.” Only when the archangel Michael intervened were the heavenly blockades removed. This breakthrough occurred on the 24th day, just as a ceasefire was declared on June 24, ending days of intense combat between Israel and Iran.

“This is kind of what we saw happen, we saw a Daniel 10-type scenario happening where the prince of Persia withstood… and then on the 24th day… there was breakthrough,” Grace explained, highlighting the spiritual significance of the date.

But the prophetic parallels don’t stop there. The name of Israel’s military operation—Operation Rising Lion—joins with historical echoes from Operation Focus, the codename for the opening strike of the 1967 Six-Day War. Fifty-eight years separate these two conflicts, pointing directly to 1 Peter 5:8, which warns: “Be sober-minded; be alert… your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion…”

“Focus on the rising lion,”Grace urged. “Those were the names of the two operations together from the Six-Day War that Israel launched and now the 12-Day War, Operation Focus, Operation Rising Lion.”

This 12-day conflict also occurred in June, the same month as the Six-Day War, and reflects similar tactics, including preemptive airstrikes and rapid ground advances. June, often associated with pride, is also prophetically charged. Lions, representing both godly authority and demonic imitation, are rising on both sides of the battle.

One “lion” in particular is catching attention, according to Grace: Reza Pahlavi, son of the deposed Shah of Iran. “This man is the Shah’s son… standing at a podium with two flags that have lions on them… and his middle name happens to be Cyrus.” The prophetic symbolism is potent, evoking the biblical king who freed the Jews, now appearing as a modern “Cyrus” in the land once called Persia.

This moment in history also aligns with a word Grace released earlier this year on Feb. 19, 2024, in which the Lord said to her: “June on your calendar may be riddled with pride… however around that time is marked for many falls and removal… I the Lord shall throw a wrench and a hammer into their plans.” This word later paralleled Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. response targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.

“This is not over,”Grace warned. “We have six days left for June that I believe is going to lead into quite an explosive July.”

In this climactic hour, we must stay vigilant, not just watching the earth, but listening for the roar of the Lion of Judah, who reigns above all powers. Now is the time for us to continue to press into prayer for America, Israel, Iran and the entire world.

Jenny Weaver’s story is one of extraordinary transformation, from trauma and torment to freedom and faith. Her life began in hardship, born to heroin-addicted parents battling withdrawals from the moment she entered the world. Though her mother gave her life to Christ shortly after Jenny’s birth, the enemy had already marked her life for destruction.

On the “We Need to Talk” podcast with Ezekiel Azonwu, Weaver shared how the church she was raised in was far from a place of light, but rather a breeding ground for darkness.

As a child, Jenny was raised in a Pentecostal-style church that, unbeknownst to her, was steeped in manipulation and occult practices. She recalls bizarre incidents where church mothers claimed to be angels, identifying themselves with names like “Michael,” and publicly shaming congregants. “I wouldn’t have known this was weird,” Weaver explains. “This was my introduction to church.”

To order Jenny Weaver’s new book, The Wicked World of Witchcraft, visit .

The abuse she grew up around left Weaver sucking her thumb into adulthood, haunted by demonic visions and tormented by suicidal thoughts. “Something was wrong,” she says.

In high school, Jenny became captivated by witchcraft, influenced by the 1996 film The Craft. She and her friends mimicked the rituals and tattooed themselves with needles and ink. What started as innocent curiosity spiraled into deeper occult involvement. “I literally said I want to be Wiccan,” she recounts, believing it offered healing and control, something religion never gave her.

By 17, she was homeless, sleeping in the courtyard of an opera house in Sarasota, Florida. She descended further into addiction, ecstasy, heroin, meth, and criminal behavior. She was trapped in a cycle of darkness, drugs and despair. “We were kidnapping people,” she confesses. “Putting people in trunks until they paid for the drugs.”

Even pregnancy didn’t immediately bring change. Despite wanting to protect her unborn child, addiction still gripped her. In one of her darkest moments, alone, starving and filthy, she cried out: “God, help me.” Not long after, help came, though not in angelic form. It came with pounding on the door as police raided the motel room where she and her now-husband, Stephen, were caught.

That was the beginning of the end for the old Jenny, and the beginning of a new life in Christ.

Today, Jenny Weaver is a deliverance minister, worship leader and founder of a thriving online ministry. She leads thousands in prayer, healing, and worship helping others find the freedom she now walks in. Her life is living proof that no pit is too deep for God’s reach.

From a childhood shaped by deception and bondage to a ministry ignited by the fire of the Holy Spirit, Jenny Weaver’s story stands as a beacon of hope for the broken—and a declaration of war against the darkness she once served.

In a recent teaching, Rabbi Schneider explored the deeply personal and spiritual implications of the first of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:2: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” More than just an ancient directive, Schneider emphasized that this verse reveals a God who not only exists but who intimately knows, claims and loves His people.

“This is not just a title,” Rabbi Schneider explained. “God uses His personal name, Hebrew. It’s not just ‘Lord’ or ‘God.’ It’s His name. And He says, ‘I am Yahweh your God.’” This personal name, he noted, communicates a deeply relational God, not a distant or indifferent deity.

From this commandment, Schneider draws out what Jewish tradition considers the first mitzvah: to believe in the existence of the one true God. But belief alone, he warned, is not the full extent of the command. “God was taking ownership over Israel. He was saying, ‘I have claim over your life. I brought you out of Egypt,’” said Schneider. It’s a call not just to believe intellectually, but to surrender relationally and to obey.

God’s personal involvement in the lives of His people is a central theme. Schneider pointed to how God heard the cries of the Israelites and came down to deliver them. “He feels what we feel. He knows the number of hairs on our heads. He’s closer than our own breath,” he said, urging listeners to stop seeing God as distant or abstract.

“Most people today define God by their own standards,” he said. “They say, ‘I believe in God, but I don’t believe in a God who judges,’ or, ‘I don’t believe in hell.’ But that’s not the God of the Bible. That’s a god they’ve invented in their own imagination.”

At the heart of Schneider’s message is a call to return to the God who has revealed Himself—Yahweh, the Deliverer of Israel, and the Father of Jesus who came to fulfill God’s plan of redemption. “The same God who brought Israel out of Egypt has revealed Himself through Yeshua and is calling you by name,” Schneider said. “He owns us because He created us.”

The God who delivered Israel from Egypt is still speaking today, calling each of us to recognize His authority, submit to His truth and walk in obedience. In a culture that reshapes God into its own image, the challenge is to return to the God who is, not the god we want Him to be. He is real, He is near and He is calling us to live fully surrendered to Him.

A recent prophetic message by Alwyn Uys is inspiring believers around the world to embrace the next season of their lives with boldness and faith. His message emphasizes the importance of trusting God fully when stepping into the unknown—especially when the path ahead feels risky and uncertain.

“It requires a lot of faith to really take that leap,” Uys said, sharing what they received while in prayer. “I heard these words: Take the leap, for I will catch you.”

Look for Alwyn Uys’ upcoming new book,
Speak, Lord: A Practical Guide to Hearing and Discerning God’s Voice,
available soon on .

What followed was a powerful vision from the Lord: a base jumper leaping off a high mountain, relying solely on a parachute to open in time. Uys knew that this meant it was time for believers to act on the faith required to step into a new, divinely appointed season. Just as a base jumper must leap from a high enough point for the parachute to activate, the believer must trust that the Holy Spirit will catch and carry them safely once they take the risk.

“This height represented something big,” Uys continued. “A big decision that needs to be made—a high-altitude jump. But the parachute is like the Holy Spirit. He will catch you.”

This word comes as a timely encouragement to those sensing a divine shift, yet feeling hesitant due to fear of loss or uncertainty. Uys’ message though shares one powerful sentiment: what lies ahead is greater than what must be left behind.

“I heard the Lord say: ‘What you are going to leave behind will not compare to what God has for you.’” Even if the current season ends before the person is ready, Uys assures that God’s plans are still good.

Referencing Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven,” Uys’ message reminds listeners that not all seasons are within human control. “We can’t choose the seasons. God does. And He leads us into them.”

Many believers may feel that an ending has come too soon or that they’re being pushed out of a familiar place. But the prophetic encouragement is clear: trust the leading of the Holy Spirit, and do not fear the leap. It’s a call to let go of control and embrace God’s promise of greater things to come.

Uys ends with a heartfelt prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to give boldness, clarity and peace to those facing major life transitions. “Lord, thank You that You have better things ahead than what we are leaving behind,” Uys prayed.

In this pivotal moment, God’s calling His people to step out with boldness, even when the path is uncertain. He is not asking for perfection, only trust. The leap may feel risky, but what awaits on the other side is far greater than anything left behind. This is not just a season of transition; it is a divine invitation to rise, to trust and to soar into the fullness of God’s purpose.

The intensity of global events surrounding Israel continues to grow, and many believe the city of Jerusalem stands at the epicenter of a spiritual and prophetic awakening.

Described as “God’s prophetic timepiece,” by Rabbi Jason Sobel, he notes that Jerusalem is more than a political epicenter, but rather it is a divine marker revealing the signs of the times.

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

“Jerusalem and Israel are God’s prophetic timepiece,” Sobel emphasized. “Just think about this: on the Western Gregorian calendar, Israel became a nation in 1948. On the Hebrew calendar, Abraham—the father of the Jewish people—was born in 1948. That’s no coincidence.”

Such convergence is not lost on biblical scholars and spiritual leaders who note Jerusalem’s prophetic significance through Scripture and numerical symbolism. In Hebrew, the numerical value of “Jerusalem” is 596—the same as the word kets ha’ketz, meaning “the end” or potentially “sign of the end.” Sobel explains, “Jerusalem, equaling 596, is a sign of the end… It’s a prophetic sign that we should never underlook or diminish.”

From the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 to the miraculous reunification of Jerusalem in 1967, history paints a picture of divine orchestration. “From 70 A.D. until 1967, the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem were not under Jewish control,” Sobel noted. “But on June 7, 1967, Israeli paratroopers stormed the city and recaptured it. The Western Wall, the Temple Mount, the Old City was back in Jewish hands after 2,000 years—it was a miracle. It was prophecy coming to pass.”

As Sobel also examines, Jerusalem’s role goes beyond historical implications: it’s role is deeply spiritual. According to 2 Chronicles 6:6, God declared, “I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might abide there.” The city holds a unique place for both Christians and Jews since it is the location where Abraham met Melchizedek, where Isaac was nearly sacrificed, where the temples stood and where Jesus died and rose again.

“Jerusalem is the city that represents peace, wholeness and an encounter with God,” Sobel said, linking the name to its Hebrew roots: Yireh (He will see or provide) and Shalom (peace).

Sobel also points out the understanding needed for the existence of both the current Jerusalem and the heavenly one still to come. “There is a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven to earth,” Sobel said, referencing both biblical prophecy and rabbinic commentary.

Quoting Zechariah 12, Sobel said: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples… a massive stone for all people.” This affirms the growing international focus on Jerusalem is not merely political—it is spiritual warfare centered on God’s chosen city.

Jerusalem is not just an ancient city—it is a spiritual axis, a divine timepiece and the future throne of the King. As the battle over Jerusalem intensifies, so too does the urgency for the church to watch, pray and understand her prophetic role.

In the days ahead, Jerusalem will not only be the focus of nations but also the place from which Messiah will reign, fulfilling every promise God has ever spoken over it.

As global chaos continues to escalate—from wars and political unrest to natural disasters—many are asking the urgent question: Are we living in the end times?

Pastor Todd Mullins addressed this very topic in a recent message, tying current world events to biblical prophecy and spiritual readiness.

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

“Only God could have orchestrated this message,” Mullins began, noting how events in the Middle East and around the globe appear to be unraveling rapidly. But this question isn’t new. “Even the disciples thought they were living in the last days,” he said. “And if they were close then, we’re even closer now.”

Cultural fascination with the end of the world is nothing new either, with Hollywood portraying these apocalyptic scenarios now for years. Mullins believes these storylines tap into a deeper human instinct—an awareness that this life isn’t all there is and a fear of what comes next. While Hollywood stirs fear, Scripture offers hope. “If you’re in Christ,” he said, “the end is not something to fear—it’s something to look forward to.”

Jesus promised in John 14 that He is preparing a place for His followers, and Mullins reminded listeners that the return of Christ is not about destruction, but restoration. Yet people throughout history have attempted to predict the timing of His return—from Martin Luther in the 1500s to William Miller in the 1800s. Time and time again, these predictions have proven wrong. As Jesus Himself declared in Matthew 24, “No one knows the day or hour… not even the Son, but only the Father.”

Despite this uncertainty, the Bible makes one truth clear: Jesus is coming back. Mullins shared that for every verse in the Bible about Christ’s first coming, there are eight about His second. The timing remains unknown, but the certainty of His return is undeniable.

So what should believers do? Mullins emphasized three critical truths: first, that the purpose of prophecy is practical—it’s meant to shape our character, not just satisfy our curiosity. Jesus is looking for faith, not fear, when He returns (Luke 18:8). Second, deception will mark the end times. Jesus’ first warning was, “Do not be deceived.” Mullins warned of the rise of spiritual confusion, especially among young people, noting that 73% of American teens have engaged in occult practices.

Finally, he warned that wickedness will increase and the love of many will grow cold. Lawlessness is on the rise, he said, as people reject the ways of God to pursue their own desires. To counter this, Mullins urged believers to “fan into flame” their love for God through prayer, Scripture and intentional community.

The signs Jesus spoke of—wars, earthquakes and persecution—are increasing, but Mullins says these are not death knells, they are birth pains. “New life is coming,” he encouraged. The key is not to be alarmed but to be prepared.

“If you knew Jesus was returning in a month,” Mullins asked, “how would your life change? Maybe the better question is—why wait?”

In the face of rising chaos and uncertainty, the question isn’t just are we in the end times?—it’s are we ready? The signs may be intensifying, but Jesus’ message remains the same: stay awake, stay faithful and stay prepared. The end is not something to dread for those in Christ—it’s the beginning of something far greater.

Now is the time to rekindle your passion for God, to align your life with His Word and to live each day with eternal urgency. Because whether it’s tomorrow or years from now, one thing is certain: He is coming back—and we must be found ready.

Is true healing and breakthrough possible?

In a compelling interview with Charisma Media, Katie Souza shared powerful revelations on how breaking free from idolatry and healing soul trauma can unlock miracles of healing, deliverance and transformation.

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

Souza began by addressing the hidden roots behind many physical and spiritual afflictions: “Idols cannot see, they cannot hear, they cannot walk, and they cannot talk… so they’re going to make you not be able to see in the spirit, hear in the spirit, speak the prophetic word… but they’re also going to affect your natural—your eyes in the natural, your ears in the natural… your skeletal system.”

She explained how physical issues like tumors or food disorders often trace back to idolatry, and how the renunciation of these idols have healed people from their varying issues. “I’ve literally had them renounce idolatry and I’ll wave my hand across their arm or their chest and the tumors disappear,” Souza said.

Food addiction is another form of modern idolatry, she explained: “That’s usually because they’ve been wounded in their soul… they’re going to run to idolatry to comfort the pain… What was one of the biggest practices in the Old Testament? Bring food sacrifices to your idol.”

Souza emphasized that trauma is the doorway to many of these strongholds. “People make bad choices once they’re wounded by trauma,” she said.

One testimony Souza shared during the interview stood out with how the power of God can change anything: a man with metal rods in his spine was dramatically healed during prayer. “His biggest trauma is not the accident… it’s because the only person that ever loved him… was his grandmother, and she’s died.” After addressing the trauma and renouncing idolatry, “he’s doing this—he couldn’t bend before… he’s now bending and turning and he’s walking and he puts down the cane… the pain goes away.”

Ultimately, as Souza shares, the key to healing is the finished work of Christ. “Christ is the answer… but inside the Scriptures are keys that we have never even unlocked about how much Christ is the answer.”

She also taught that true breakthrough comes from being led by the Spirit. “There has to be a quieting of the soul and a positioning in worship… and then through the reading of the Word, through quieting the self, we’ll hear the instruction of the Spirit.”

Katie Souza’s message is a bold call to the body of Christ to confront hidden idols, heal unresolved trauma, and return to the authority of Christ’s finished work. Her testimonies of supernatural healing and deliverance reveal that breakthrough isn’t reserved for a few—it’s available to all who are willing to surrender fully, listen to the Holy Spirit and apply biblical truth with unwavering faith.
