Where do your ultimate loyalties lie? Are they in politics or in Christ?

In a passionate call to reflection, Pastor Jack Hibbs is challenging believers across America to examine where their faith truly lies—and whether loyalty to political figures is replacing loyalty to Christ.

“So how much do you believe the Bible? A lot? Do you believe the Bible all the way?” he asks. “Do you believe that the Bible contains the Word of God, or do you believe that the Bible is the Word of God?”

For those who believe the Bible is indeed the Word of God, Hibbs reminds us of a sobering truth: “God sets up kings and God takes kings down. That’s a sovereign act of God.”

Referencing current political tensions, Hibbs addresses recent developments: “We are watching the United States of America currently right now under the leadership of President Donald Trump manifest very unusual practices.” He points to the distancing between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a shifting U.S. stance toward Israel. “There is a profound business opportunity for the United States to make with other Muslim Middle Eastern countries at the expense of Israel’s security.”

“What is happening?” he asks. “Are we watching possibly the collapse of the Trump mega dynasty? Are we watching the collapse of the Trump doctrine?” The concern is not simply political—it’s spiritual. “Any leader, any nation that turns its back on Israel turns its back on the God of Israel.”

Hibbs offers a stark warning: “Is this actually a symptom to having circled around Jesus Christ but have never really come to Jesus Christ? Is this an outcome of knowing about the Bible but not knowing truly the Bible?”

In an era of deep polarization, he brings his message home: “Will people pick sides? Yes, they will always. But is your loyalty to a particular party or person, or is it to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word?”

These are “the days of division,” he says, and every believer will soon face a choice: “God over man, faith over mammon.”

“My challenge to you is this: Where are your loyalties? I pray that they’re in the Word of God and with the Lord Jesus Christ.” Because in the end, “God is not a man that He should lie… God governs in the affairs of men.”

As shifting alliances and political unrest shake the foundations of leadership, the true test of faith is not where we stand politically, but where we kneel spiritually. Now more than ever, the people of God must rise with unwavering conviction, placing their loyalty not in personalities or platforms, but in the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Only those anchored in Christ will endure the storm and shine as beacons of truth in a world growing ever darker.

In a powerful message rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, Rabbi Kirt Schneider confronts a troubling modern trend: believers attempting to walk out their spiritual life in isolation. “Are you living your spiritual life independently of community?” he asks. “Are you just on your own solo journey with God?”

Schneider’s message centers on Exodus 12:6, where the Lord commands, “The whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill the lamb at twilight.” The emphasis is on “the whole assembly”—a striking image of shared responsibility and communal redemption.

“God did not just call us as individuals,” Schneider reminds listeners. “He called us as a people.” Just as every Israelite participated in the slaughter of the Passover lamb, so too does every believer participate in the crucifixion of Yeshua, the true Lamb of God. “It was for our sin that He was nailed to the cross… this unites us, beloved ones, together as a people.”

Drawing a direct line from the Passover to the Lord’s Supper, he explains how communion is a communal act, not just a personal one. “When we come together, Paul said, we partake of the Lord’s body and the Lord’s blood.” This ritual, Schneider emphasizes, is a reflection of our interconnectedness as the body of Messiah.

The warning is clear: a solo walk with God, detached from the body, is not biblical Christianity. “If we’re not connected to other believers… we’re not really walking in the fullness of God’s calling on our life.”

Instead of remaining isolated, believers are encouraged to be proactive in building Christian relationships. “If you want friends, be friendly,” he says. Whether it’s joining a small group, initiating phone calls, or fostering regular spiritual discussions, engagement is key. “Maybe your church has small groups that you can get connected to… I want to encourage you strongly, get involved in a small group.”

In a world where independence is often glorified, this teaching serves as a bold reminder that biblical faith is inherently communal. From the blood on the doorposts in Egypt to the bread and wine at the Lord’s table, redemption has always been a shared experience.

In a recent prophetic message, Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries issued a powerful warning about a spiritual battle unfolding on the national stage, likening the current tension between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to the biblical betrayal of King David by his son, Absalom.

“There is an air of David and Absalom to this,” Grace stated, alluding to a deeper spiritual conflict behind the public rift. She emphasized that what is playing out publicly has prophetic undertones and is reflective of a biblical pattern of conspiracy, betrayal, and attempted overthrow.

Reading from a prophetic word she received on Nov. 15, 2024, Grace warned of a growing conspiracy, similar to how Absalom positioned himself to steal the throne from David:

“Absalom pretended to play by the rules… However, it was the root—an invasive root—of conspiracy, and the conspiracy grew strong,” the word says. “Another coup [will] be attempted within the first year of Donald entering office.”

She also revealed that she was shown meetings taking place in Congress and the Pentagon—some in secret—where plans were allegedly being made to initiate this plot.

“I see the meeting that five in Congress were at… an emergency has been called… to start the workings of a conspiracy.”

In a separate word given on Feb. 13, 2025, Amanda warned about the rising influence of Doge Capital—possibly a prophetic metaphor or literal organization—and the spiritual danger of technology becoming a false god.

“ the word ‘God’ in it backwards… This department must walk circumspectly to not fall into becoming an electronic god to the people,” the prophecy reads. “Expose corruption while walking circumspectly not to become false gods yourselves.”

Amanda drew a connection between this warning and the biblical account of Cain, who opened the door to the destroyer—Satan—despite God’s caution. She believes this same destroyer has now been let in during a month “filled with pride,” a subtle reference to cultural movements that exalt pride and self over humility and repentance.

“They are looking to literally implode not only the presidency, but implode relationships,” she warned.

Grace’s call to action is direct and urgent: “Be in the Word of God every day. Be in prayer. Intercede for the nation.”

As spiritual forces maneuver behind the scenes, Amanda Grace urges believers to stay grounded in faith, recognizing the biblical patterns that are reemerging in today’s modern political and technological landscape.

Chris Garcia’s journey into the supernatural didn’t begin with chasing signs and wonders—it began with a hunger to know God. Raised in a Roman Catholic household, Garcia grew up feeling an unusual pull toward God from an early age. “I always felt when I was born, as early as I can remember, that God had called me,” he said in a powerful in-person interview during Media Day 2025 presented by Charisma Media, with Jennifer Bagnaschi of Deep Believer.

At just 12 years old, Garcia encountered the presence of the Lord in a profound way, but it wasn’t until he clearly heard the Gospel at age 16 that everything changed. “When I heard the gospel clearly preached—sin separates us from God, we need to repent, receive Jesus, become born again—that’s when I dropped everything and received Christ,” he shared.

Although he was drawn to religious life and even considered the priesthood, Garcia now realizes that what he had as a child was only a partial understanding. “We had something, but not the fullness of the gospel,” he said. Even within Catholicism, Garcia remembers moments when the Holy Spirit moved on him. Once, while the priest spoke on the Stations of the Cross, “the whole front row of children including myself began to weep profusely.” Another time, during communion, both he and his mother were overwhelmed with emotion, weeping with no explanation.

But darkness also loomed in Garcia’s early years. Both sides of his family were deeply involved in witchcraft—Santería, spiritualism and mediumship. “My grandmother was a medium. My uncles were all priests of Santería,” he explained. Though his parents chose not to practice, the influence lingered. He recalled seeing unsettling objects at relatives’ homes—statues, candles and even coconuts with chalked faces meant to cast spells or bring protection.

This spiritual inheritance opened doors to demonic oppression in his life. As a child, Garcia experienced frequent sleep paralysis and terrifying visions. “I literally saw demons like two times as a 12-year-old,” he said. One encounter included a dark smudge on the wall that suddenly “popped out,” sending him into a panic. Despite his fear, worship music gave him courage. “I remember going into the room and saying, ‘I’m not afraid of you. I’m gonna sleep in this room and you’re gonna leave me alone.’”

In the week leading up to his salvation, Garcia was tormented nightly. “Demons would come and visit me… I would go into sleep paralysis. I would feel hands pulling me out of my body, tugging me, hitting me,” he recounted. On the final night, a large being entered through his window and straddled him as he cried out to God.

That moment became the turning point. Garcia surrendered to Jesus the very next day. Since then, he has had four significant out-of-body encounters with the Lord—including seeing Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. In another powerful moment, Garcia saw in an epic vision a battle happening between his spirit and flesh.

“I saw my spirit fighting my flesh, like they were wrestling like Olympic wrestlers. And I saw this in my sleep,” Garcia recounts.

His journey reveals the reality of spiritual warfare and the unmatched power of the gospel to break generational chains and usher in divine purpose. Garcia’s experiences serve as a striking reminder that the supernatural is not reserved for the pages of Scripture—it’s active, present and closer than many realize. In a time when darkness is celebrated and spiritual deception runs rampant, testimonies like Garcia’s call believers back to awe, discernment and unwavering intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

Is your desire to get married turning into an idol?

In an interview with YouTuber Jackie VanTine at Media Day 2025 presented by Charisma Media, Jonathan Cahn discussed the deceptive ways the enemy can use marriage against godly people looking for a mate.

A growing trend within the modern church—especially on platforms like YouTube—is the rise of so-called “kingdom spouse” prophecies. However, for some, this trend can often lead to deep emotional confusion and spiritual deception.

“Two years I waited for a man. And it was not it. And I got all these signs. I got all these dreams,” VanTine says of her own experience. It’s a story that resonates with many, especially in a culture where relationship status often defines personal worth—even among Christians.

Cahn also weighed in, sharing his own experience. “I was engaged early on in the Lord… there seemed to be signs… but it wasn’t,” he said. Cahn later met his wife under truly divine circumstances—after he had fully surrendered the idea of marriage. “Only when I totally gave up… and said, ‘Lord, if You don’t want me to be married, I’m fine’—that’s when it happened.”

Cahn emphasized the importance of removing idols from our hearts, including the idol of marriage. “If we’re putting God first in our life… then it has to be OK. A marriage can’t be an idol.” He warned that misplaced desires and emotional attachment to prophetic claims can make believers vulnerable to deception. “The enemy will play on anything… and people can fool themselves.”

Instead of viewing themselves as less than or cursed for being unmarried, Cahn reminds viewers that: “If you’re single, you are blessed. If you’re married, you’re blessed.” Great men of God—like Paul and John the Baptist—remained single and lived out their purpose powerfully.

The bottom line?

Seek God first. Let go of personal timelines and emotional pressure. “When you’re really content with the Lord, He’ll give it to you—because it’s no longer an idol,” Cahn says.

As the church navigates the distractions of the end times, believers must remain rooted in truth and discernment. Relationship promises should never eclipse a surrendered life to Christ.

In a world where betrayal is all too common, healing can seem distant—especially when the wound comes from someone you considered a spiritual father. In an interview with Lecrae, John Bevere shared his raw and transparent story of deep offense, heartbreak and ultimately, divine healing.

Bevere begins by describing a painful season in his life, marked by betrayal from someone he trusted more than his own father. “I went through a really deep wounding offense. It was somebody that I looked up to as a father, and he was actually closer to me than my natural father,” he shared. “But he did some things over the course of the year that were just devastating.”

The pain was so apparent that others around him noticed. “It was so obvious, people were coming up to me saying, ‘You okay?’” The offense wasn’t hidden—it was real, raw, and left a mark. Yet even as he tried to be spiritual and forgiving, something deeper was going on.

This cycle of hurt and half-forgiveness persisted until one day, while praying, Bevere received an answer from God when he asked him: “Am I offended?” To which the Lord said, “Yes.”

As the Lord worked on healing and restoring Bevere, he also used his pain to share with others how to deal with offense. Bevere’s best-selling book, The Bait of Satan, is just one example of how he is now helping others release their pain and bitterness to find healing through Christ. This is something especially needed today for those working in ministry.

“Nobody that leaves ministry ever said, ‘One day I’m going to leave ministry,'” says Bevere. “Not one of them planned to do it. They were take out, and it’s usually by offense.”

In today’s church culture, where disappointment and division are far too common, Bevere’s message couldn’t be more timely. Healing is possible, but it takes confronting the offense, not covering it. Those who feel disillusioned or ready to give up must recognize that offense is often the enemy’s first strategy to derail a God-given purpose.

By facing the pain, acknowledging the wound and allowing God to bring restoration, believers can rise stronger—able not only to walk in freedom themselves but to lead others into it.

In a sobering conversation with We Need to Talk host Ezekiel Azonwu, Alexander Pagani shared a raw and revelatory perspective: public exposure is not God’s wrath—it’s His mercy.

With increasing numbers of Christian leaders being revealed for hidden sin, Pagani urges believers to reconsider how they perceive these moments of reckoning.

“What we are seeing is mercy in full manifestation,” Pagani said. “Exposure is a gift from heaven to make sure that we don’t end up in the lake of fire.” He explained that while some may interpret these moments as harsh judgment, the reality is far more redemptive. Citing Paul’s words in the New Testament, he noted, “Hand such a one over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, but that his spirit would be saved.”

Pagani insists that exposure is not to humiliate, but to rescue. “If you’re being publicly exposed, God is letting the world know He loves you immensely,” he said. “If He didn’t love you, He’d let you die in that sin.” Rather than calling down judgment on fallen leaders, Pagani calls for a heart of compassion and caution. “Don’t cheer when someone falls. That’s not justice—it’s mockery,” he added.

He referenced biblical figures like Esau and Jacob, highlighting how God still used Jacob’s name even after changing it to Israel, because “we have Jacob moments.” In the same way, many believers today wrestle with their old nature despite knowing their new identity in Christ.

Addressing the role of judgment and discernment in the church, Pagani drew from Matthew 7: “Judge not lest you be judged.” He made the point that we still must hold leaders accountable. “You shall know them by their fruit,” he emphasized. “God is encouraging us to judge from the heart of a shepherd—to protect the sheep.”

Pagani also affirmed that sometimes, exposure must be followed by tangible consequences, including legal action. “I 100% agree with exposing someone publicly,” he said. “Some people need to be in prison… I’ve been there. And for some, it’s the best place they could be.”

Still, he warned against a toxic culture of exposure for exposure’s sake. “You can’t be a wolf exposing a wolf,” he cautioned. “Make sure your hands are clean. It can’t be darkness confronting darkness.”

Finally, Pagani touched on the emotional impact these exposures have on both the church and the individuals involved. “They’re still someone’s father, someone’s pastor,” he said. “There’s always collateral damage when someone falls.”

Despite the pain, Pagani remains hopeful: “If they get exposed, it’s because God is giving them one more chance to repent. It’s grace. It’s love. And it’s not too late.”

In a time of prevalent scandal and deep division in the church, Pagani’s message is clear: exposure may be shocking, but it’s also saving—because mercy that is rejected, he says, “is judgment invited.”

As tensions escalate between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, prophetic voice Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries is urging believers to pay close attention to what she calls a divine shaking in the nation’s leadership and spiritual infrastructure. Sharing prophetic words she received earlier this year, Grace revealed that these recent explosive events are not random, but are unfolding in alignment with a God-ordained timeline.

“We have come into June—a month filled with pride—and we are seeing explosiveness in many forms,” Grace said.

Highlighting the friction between Trump and Musk, she pointed to the significant spiritual window between Passover and Pentecost, saying, “What has spilled out explosively now into the public eye… has also seemed to occur within the 50-day fiery window between Passover and Pentecost.”

Grace shared two prophetic words—one dated Jan. 16, and the other Mar. 12, 2025—that appear to foreshadow the political chaos now erupting.

In the January word, Grace quoted the Lord as saying: “I am purging the movement of the conservatives… for too much sand is mixed in with the soil and now weakened the root.” She warned that even if Congress is “dominated by red,” it is irrelevant “if the root is weak.”

God, she believes, is addressing a compromised political system that has sought favor with ungodly agendas: “Certain heads of the Republican Party… have decided to build the house partially on sand out of fear of offending agendas where they sought their vote.”

One of the most urgent warnings came regarding artificial intelligence: “AI is being welcomed in more than My voice, says the Lord, and that must change… For the enemy dwells in AI. He lurks in the shadows. He comes looking like a gift… and it is a curse!” This word is particularly interesting considering Elon Musk, who has been working closely with the president, is quite the innovator in the realm of technology with his ventures in Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and X.

Grace then described that a spiritual purging is already underway, likening it to the biblical battle of Ai. “There are too many bulls and rams and competing idols in the room… and that must be cleared out,” she said.

The second prophetic word from March echoed similar themes, identifying key leaders as “rams” vying for dominance. “The bilateral rams have gotten into position… the rams within the administration of America… have all stepped into the area of dominance,” she read. “The clashes in Washington, D.C. shall become a public spectacle… They shall increase in order to remove whom does not belong.”

With growing instability, Grace urged believers to remain spiritually alert. “Keep watch right now with what’s happening and the explosiveness and the timing of it… Be watchmen right now. Be in the Word of God every single day,” she said.

As tensions rise and prophetic warnings unfold, the clash between Trump and Musk may be more than political—it could be a sign of a deeper spiritual reckoning. Amanda Grace urges believers to remain vigilant, discerning and anchored in truth as the nation enters a critical season of shaking and purification.

Now is the time to seek God’s direction, stay rooted in His Word and watch closely as events continue to accelerate.

In a sobering interview with Charisma Media, Rabbi Schneider addressed the rising tide of false prophets, the subtle influence of witchcraft and the urgent need to return to the fear of the Lord.

“There’s too much riff raff going on today in the realm of prophecy,” he warned. “All you got to do is go get a business card and you’re a prophet.” Schneider emphasized that the biblical standard for prophecy is far more serious. “In the Hebrew Bible…false prophets were to be not listened to and even stoned to death.”

The consequences of unchecked prophetic voices have caused many to tune out. “It’s like the boy that cries wolf…then he cries wolf again and no one responds,” Schneider said. “When the Lord does speak, people no longer listen.”

He also warned of witchcraft operating even within the church. “Witchcraft is also trying to manipulate people through means other than the spirit of the Lord,” he said. “Even a Christian can unknowingly be practicing witchcraft…through seduction, fortune telling, or new age practices.”

In a time of growing confusion and spiritual compromise, Rabbi Schneider’s message is a timely wake-up call to return to truth, discernment and the fear of the Lord. Watch the full video below and let God’s wisdom anchor your faith in these uncertain times.

Are we about to see an unexpected spiritual storm sweep across our nation?

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

As the world braces for what many sense is a coming spiritual shift, Mike Signorelli is sounding the alarm, urging believers to prepare—both spiritually and practically—for what lies ahead. “We are in the calm before the storm,” he declared, suggesting that the current stillness is a divine opportunity to position ourselves for what’s coming.

One of the central deceptions the enemy has sown into the modern church, according Signorelli, revolves around money. “One of the biggest lies of the enemy that he got into the church is that there’s something wrong with Christians having money,” he said. This misconception, he argued, has caused many believers to reject or mishandle financial blessings rather than steward them for the kingdom of God.

Speaking with Signorelli, financial strategist Patrick Chandler offered a counter-narrative: that properly managing wealth is not only biblical but also a pathway to spiritual growth. “You actually become more like Christ in the process of managing what He’s given you,” he explained. This message challenges the common notion that financial prosperity is incompatible with spiritual purity. Instead, he presents stewardship as an act of worship—one that reflects God’s character and wisdom.

In that same spirit of discernment, Chandler highlighted the importance of spiritual gatekeeping and discernment when utilizing finances. “People like Pastor Mike do not give access,” he said, implying that spiritual authority and influence should be handled with caution. Access to leadership, platforms or influence in ministry should never be given lightly but must be stewarded as carefully as finances.

This isn’t just about money—it’s about mindset. It’s about rejecting scarcity, shame and guilt surrounding prosperity, and instead walking in kingdom authority and responsibility. The storm may be coming, but those who are rooted in truth, grounded in stewardship and led by the Spirit will not only endure it—they will thrive in the midst of it.
