Right after Joni Lamb’s passing, an emotional moment on Daystar’s Ministry Now left viewers reflecting on the reality of heaven and the eternal hope found in Christ.

During a recent live broadcast, Christian author and near-death experience speaker Randy Kay shared what he described as a powerful vision of Joni Lamb worshipping in heaven alongside angels.

“I had a vision of your mother,” Kay told hosts Rachel Lamb Brown and Joshua Brown. “I had a vision of Joni…just praising the Lord in heaven with thousands of angels.”

Kay went on to describe the overwhelming sound of worship he witnessed in the vision.

“One angel has the magnitude of the voice of 10 people,” he said. “So you can well imagine you have a thousand angels behind her, and as beautiful as her voice was here, it’s more beautiful and was more glorious in heaven.”

The deeply emotional conversation came as the Lamb family continues mourning the loss of Joni Lamb, who co-founded the Christian television network Daystar Television Network alongside her late husband, Marcus Lamb. Throughout the broadcast, Rachel Lamb Brown openly shared the family’s grief while also declaring their confidence in God’s faithfulness.

“My mom loved Jesus with her whole heart,” Rachel said. “And she spent her life pointing people toward Him.”

Kay, who says he clinically died after suffering pulmonary emboli and septic shock years ago, has spent much of his ministry speaking about heaven and interviewing others who have had near-death experiences. During the interview, he emphasized that believers who die in Christ are “more alive right now” than they have ever been before.

“I will speak of her in the present tense, not the past tense,” Kay said of Joni. “Because she’s more alive right now.”

The conversation repeatedly pointed back to the hope Christians have in eternity through Jesus Christ. Kay described heaven as a place filled with overwhelming peace, joy and constant fellowship with God.

“The greatest experience is being in constant fellowship…with God,” he said. “We don’t have that fully here, but in heaven it’s constant.”

At one point in the interview, Joshua Brown paused to share the gospel directly with viewers, reminding them that eternal life is found only through Christ.

“If you don’t know Jesus, this isn’t for you,” Brown said. “You don’t go to heaven without Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus is the way.”

The interview also served as a reminder of the enduring spiritual hunger many people have regarding eternity, heaven and what happens after death. Yet amid the fascination with heavenly encounters, the message remained centered on Jesus Himself.

As tributes continue pouring in for Joni Lamb from Christian leaders around the world, her family says the greatest way to honor her life is simple: keep pointing people to Christ.

And according to Kay’s vision, that is exactly what Joni Lamb is still doing now—only this time from heaven itself.

For decades, Kenneth Copeland has remained one of the most controversial and talked-about figures in charismatic Christianity. From criticism over private jets to accusations tied to prosperity preaching, the longtime minister recently addressed many of the claims directly during an episode of his podcast with his granddaughter, Courtney.

Speaking candidly about online criticism and the infamous Inside Edition interview that went viral years ago, Copeland said he has learned not to allow public opinion to dictate his focus.

“I don’t listen to the praise. I don’t listen to the hate. I just keep my head down and do my job,” Copeland said.

One accusation Copeland addressed involved a story critics allegedly used to claim he backed out of donating an airplane to a ministry in Africa. According to Copeland, the aircraft had severe corrosion issues that could not be safely repaired overseas.

“Well, certainly I reneged on it,” Copeland said. “[I’m] Not going to send something unsafe to somebody in Africa someplace.”

Copeland also revisited the viral Inside Edition interview in which he was questioned about flying private jets, and comments critics claimed implied that commercial airlines were “full of demons.”

“That is a lie and you know it,” Copeland said. “I didn’t say that because we’ve ridden on the airlines.”

Courtney defended her grandfather’s demanding ministry schedule and global travel obligations, noting that Kenneth Copeland Ministries now operates on five continents worldwide.

“In order to do what God’s called you to do, it was the only way that makes sense,” she said.

Copeland explained that aviation has been part of his life long before ministry. “We started out with a 1959 Cessna Skyline,” he said, adding that flying originally helped pay his tuition while working as a copilot.

The minister also pushed back against claims about his wealth after Courtney mentioned recurring online accusations that he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

“If you took all the property, everything on it wouldn’t even get close,” he said while discussing how internet rumors escalated over the years.

Much of the conversation ultimately turned toward faith, prosperity and what Copeland believes many Christians misunderstand about God’s nature. He argued that too many churches emphasize suffering and curses rather than biblical blessings.

“So many preachers have preached on the curse instead of the blessing,” Copeland said. “God is a good God. God is a good God.”

He pointed to teachings from mentors like Kenneth E. Hagin and Oral Roberts that emphasized faith, healing and God’s goodness.

“Faith works, beloved,” Copeland said. “It is impossible to please Him without faith.”

The interview closed not with controversy, but with Copeland’s repeated reminder that, despite criticism, misunderstandings and decades of public scrutiny, his message has remained unchanged: “God is a good God.”

The masses continue to experience revival in a powerful and sweeping way.

During her tour for her newly released book, Ignite Revival, Kathryn Krick, shared how people are being changed by the power of God.

Showing a side-by-side image of herself from 14 years ago to now, Krick gave the exciting news that Ignite Revival was platformed in Times Square while she was in New York.

On the YouTube post Krick wrote: “Now I’ve ministered in 21 nations and God is blowing my mind with the life I get to live as I serve Him—the joy that comes with serving Him and seeing His people encounter Him and the blessings and favor that come from serving God. There’s truly no greater joy than serving God!”

She also shared about how God worked miracles during her time in New York.

What God did in NYC was beyond anything we have ever seen in America. The hunger of the people in that room made room for God to move in greater ways—to heal, deliver, and release the fire of the Holy Spirit! Revival has been ignited in NY and there has been a great shift that will lead to many eyes opening up to the love and power of Jesus! This was such a special way to celebrate the launch of my new book, Ignite Revival!

During a stop to Greenville, South Carolina, Krick said that the power of God was clear and evident.

What God did at the Greenville, South Carolina book signing was so powerful! People traveled from different states just to attend this book signing and position themselves where God’s power is. The power of God touched so many and it was the most beautiful to see person after person have an encounter with Jesus! I am in awe of how God’s love is being released at these events and through this beautiful move of the Holy Spirit.

What is taking place in cities across America is far more than emotional excitement or another fleeting trend—it is a growing spiritual hunger for the authentic presence and power of God. In a generation overwhelmed by anxiety, confusion and hopelessness, stories of salvation, healing, deliverance and renewed faith are becoming impossible to ignore. The testimonies emerging from these gatherings point to one unmistakable reality: people are desperate for something real.

As revival continues to spread, believers should recognize the urgency of this moment. Scripture repeatedly shows that when people humble themselves, seek God and make room for Him to move, transformation follows. America just may be witnessing the beginnings of a spiritual shift that reaches far beyond church walls and into an entire generation searching for truth, freedom and hope.

A terrifying near-death experience is once again reigniting conversations about heaven, hell and eternity.

According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Kathy McDaniel says she experienced both hell and heaven while in an 18-day medically induced coma after suffering acute respiratory distress syndrome in 1999.

McDaniel recalled being thrust into what she described as a horrifying spiritual realm filled with darkness, unbearable heat and torment. According to the report, she described the place as covered in terrifying demonic entities that surrounded her as fear overwhelmed her soul.

Then, in an abrupt shift, McDaniel said she was suddenly taken into what appeared to be heaven—a place she described as radiant, peaceful and overflowing with love. One of the most emotional moments of her account involved seeing her deceased fiancé, Rick.

According to the Daily Mail report, McDaniel said he appeared youthful and that she had to go back to Earth.

McDaniel was on a ventilator and fighting for her life during the ordeal. After surviving, she later wrote a memoir and began publicly sharing her testimony about the afterlife.

However, McDaniel’s story has not pointed back to the gospel.

“What I learned was that God is all-loving, all-forgiving, and would never condemn anybody. Anything that I was taught about God sending people to purgatory or to hell, it’s not true,” she reportedly said.

Scripture makes it clear that hell is not merely symbolic or metaphorical. Jesus repeatedly warned about eternal separation from God, describing hell as a place of anguish, darkness and judgment.

At the same time, the Bible also warns that spiritual experiences alone are not enough to establish truth.

What makes McDaniel’s story especially heartbreaking is that even after such a terrifying glimpse into eternity, there is no mention of fully surrendering to Jesus Christ as Lord.

The tragedy is that what may have been a merciful warning from God about the severity of eternity is still being misunderstood to fit a worldview away from Scripture and reality.

As deception intensifies in the end times, we must remain grounded in biblical truth. The message of eternity is not simply that heaven and hell exist—it is that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

Scientists say they may be one step closer to reversing extinction itself. But as biotechnology rapidly advances, an age-old question is reappearing: Just because mankind can do something, does that mean we should?

A stunning new scientific breakthrough involving artificial eggs has ignited debate across the scientific and faith communities after researchers successfully hatched live chicks without a natural eggshell.

According to the Daily Mail, biotech company Colossal Biosciences announced that scientists created a fully artificial egg system capable of supporting the complete development of bird embryos. The company reportedly hatched the healthy chicks using the technology, marking what researchers described as a major advancement in avian reproduction and possible “de-extinction” efforts.

The artificial egg reportedly uses a 3D-printed titanium shell and a silicone membrane engineered to mimic the oxygen transfer process found in natural eggs. Researchers said the transparent structure also allowed scientists to monitor embryo development in real time.

“How do we replicate nature but also improve upon it? This is the first time the core engineering problem of artificial eggs has been solved.” Colossal stated.

Colossal has openly connected the artificial egg project to its larger efforts to revive extinct species, including the South Island giant moa of New Zealand and the famous dodo bird. The moa, a massive flightless bird that disappeared centuries ago, presents a unique challenge because its eggs were far larger than those of any living bird.

The Daily Mail reported that researchers believe the artificial egg system could eventually be scaled large enough to incubate embryos from species of that size.

For Christians, this touches something even deeper.

From the opening chapters of Genesis, Scripture makes clear that God alone is the Author of life and creation. While mankind was commanded to steward the earth, the Bible never portrays humanity as having authority to redesign creation according to its own imagination.

Genesis 1 repeatedly declares that God created living creatures “according to their kinds,” establishing divine order within creation itself. In an age increasingly obsessed with rewriting biology, merging technology with life and pushing the boundaries of genetic engineering, these developments are a sobering reminder of humanity’s ancient temptation in the Garden: the desire to become like God.

Scientific advancement can certainly bring healing, preservation and discovery. But when mankind begins attempting to resurrect extinct creatures and alter creation at its foundational level, the line between stewardship and hubris can quickly blur.

As technology races forward, Christians would be wise to remember that not every breakthrough is automatically wisdom—and not every door opened by science is one God intended humanity to walk through.

A growing health trend inspired by biblical principles is gaining traction across social media, with many people revisiting ancient foods and Scripture-based eating habits as interest in natural wellness continues to rise.

During a recent Fox News segment, nutrition advocate Annette Reeder discussed the concept of the “seven foods of the Promised Land,” explaining how some families are incorporating biblically referenced foods into their modern diets.

“We’re starting with the seven foods of the Promised Land because they’re common, but yet overlooked, how great they are with our nutrition,” Reeder said.

The foods in this diet include grapes, wheat, barley, dates, figs, olives and pomegranates—items referenced in the Bible’s description of the land promised to Israel.

When asked whether the concept was rooted in Scripture, Reeder responded, “It actually is, it’s in there.”

The segment also referenced the biblical phrase “a land flowing with milk and honey” while drawing comparisons between ancient dietary practices and modern eating habits. Reeder used the biblical account of Israel leaving Egypt as an illustration of people moving away from unhealthy patterns and toward healthier choices.

“The banquet was ready, but they had Egypt in their heart and mind, and they had to filter that out like we have to filter out junk food,” Reeder said.

Throughout the segment, Reeder shared practical examples of how families can incorporate these foods into everyday meals and snacks. Suggestions included fresh pomegranate seeds, dates packed in lunches and homemade snacks made with simple ingredients.

“These are cookies with banana, barley and dates,” Reeder said while presenting one recipe option.

Hosts on the program also noted similarities between biblical eating patterns and aspects of the Mediterranean diet, which has long been associated with whole foods, fruits, grains and healthy fats.

This trend comes as conversations surrounding food quality, wellness and natural living continue to expand online. Across social media platforms, creators are increasingly discussing biblical farming, ancient grains, fasting and faith-centered approaches to nutrition.

For many, the growing interest in biblical foods reflects a broader desire to reconnect spiritual principles with everyday living habits. This trend has also sparked wider conversations about stewardship, wellness and returning to simpler forms of nourishment rooted in Scripture.

Was the Illuminati real—or has the idea become little more than internet mythology mixed with fear, speculation and spiritual confusion?

That question is once again stirring questions as Pastor Vlad Savchuk is the origins of the Illuminati, modern secret societies and what believers should actually discern in today’s culture.

“What if I told you the Illuminati was real?” Savchuk asked at the opening of the message. “But the version people talk about today is usually a mix of history, some fear, a lot of exaggeration and sometimes a little bit of propaganda.”

According to Savchuk, the original Illuminati was a real historical organization founded in Bavaria, Germany, on May 1, 1776. The group reportedly lasted only until 1785 before Bavarian authorities shut it down.

“The Illuminati was real, but it didn’t exist forever,” Savchuk said. “It didn’t rule the world. It did not last for centuries. It was organized, it was ideological and dangerous enough that the government had to crush it.”

Savchuk explained that the group infiltrated existing networks, including Masonic lodges, and operated through secrecy, hierarchy and gradual indoctrination. Founder Adam Weishaupt, Savchuk said, was heavily influenced by Enlightenment thinking that sought to elevate human reason above faith and undermine Christianity’s influence in society.

“His goal was actually to reshape society from the shadows through education, influence and strategy,” Savchuk said. “Does that sound familiar?”

The teaching also described the Illuminati’s reported use of hidden levels of initiation, where newer members were allegedly introduced to softer ideas before eventually being exposed to more radical beliefs.

“You didn’t join and get the full truth,” he said. “You earned this access, and by then you were invested.”

Savchuk drew an important distinction between the historical Bavarian Illuminati and modern conspiracy theories about a supposed all-powerful global organization.

“There is really no confirmed evidence that one single organization called the Illuminati is controlling the entire world today,” he said. “But it’s also naïve to pretend that powerful people don’t network, do not influence culture and protect their interests.”

Savchuk pointed to modern elite circles, secretive organizations and cultural systems that can shape society behind closed doors. However, he repeatedly warned Christians against falling into fear-driven obsession.

“As Christians, we shouldn’t be gullible, but we also should not be addicted to speculation,” he said.

Instead, Savchuk argued believers should focus on the spiritual battle taking place underneath cultural movements, ideologies and systems that oppose biblical truth.

“Not every movement is the Illuminati, but the spirit of antichrist is real,” Savchuk said. “Anything that systematically opposes Christ, exalts self and reason as God and wars against godliness and biblical standards is the spirit of antichrist in operation.”

The teaching concluded with a reminder that Christians are called to discernment, not paranoia.

“Christians should be informed but not obsessed,” he said. “We got to be bold but not paranoid.”

In a culture increasingly fascinated with conspiracies, hidden power structures and spiritual darkness, the message ultimately pointed viewers back to Christ rather than fear.

“We don’t obsess with what the darkness is doing,” Savchuk said. “We walk in the light. Because at the end of history, it will not be the secret societies that will win and control the world. It will be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.”

President Donald Trump continues to share rather unusual and intriguing posts on Truth Social that highlight both aliens and space.

In one post on Truth Social, Trump shared an image of himself walking with an alien surrounded by military personnel.

In two other posts, Trump shared AI-generated images of himself commanding a spaceship as a part of the Space Force.

These posts, however, have a mysterious timing. They come as renewed public fascination over UFO disclosure and extraterrestrial life continues to intensify across America.

Now, another explosive claim is once again fueling the conversation.

According to a recent report from the Daily Star, former CIA-funded researcher Dr. Hal Puthoff claimed that individuals allegedly involved in UFO recovery operations told him there are “at least four” different species of extraterrestrial beings connected to recovered craft.

Puthoff, who previously advised the Pentagon-linked Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, made the remarks during an appearance on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast alongside filmmaker Dan Farah, director of the upcoming UFO documentary The Age of Disclosure.

“People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types,” Puthoff said.

The claims themselves sound like something pulled straight from science fiction, yet they are increasingly entering mainstream conversations following congressional hearings and testimony from intelligence insiders.

The report states that longtime UFO researcher Dr. Eric Davis previously identified the alleged species as “Grays,” “Nordics,” “Insectoids” and “Reptilians.”

The “Grays” are described as the stereotypical small-bodied beings with large black eyes, often portrayed in popular UFO culture. “Nordics” are allegedly tall, human-like figures with Northern European features. “Insectoids,” sometimes called “Mantids,” are said to resemble praying mantises, while “Reptilians” are described as lizard-like humanoids with scaly skin.

For Christians, however, these conversations raise deeper spiritual questions as fascination with the unknown continues to expand. Scripture warns believers not to be consumed by deception, signs and wonders detached from God’s truth or the pursuit of hidden knowledge apart from biblical discernment.

As interest in aliens, UFOs and disclosure continues to rise — even reaching the social media feeds of world leaders — Christians should remain spiritually alert, grounded in Scripture and discerning of the times.

America has officially been rededicated to God.

In a special day of celebration of repentance, worship and turning back to the Lord, the Washington D.C. National Mall was turned into a massive prayer rally, all after President Trump declared that it would be a historic day of returning to the Lord.

On Saturday, Sean Feucht kicked off the weekend with a powerful worship and prayer event.

“…we stand here, not as the divided states, but as the United States,” Feucht declared. “And we stand here as one body, as one church, as one bride, and we say, ‘Jesus, come and have Your way in the United States of America.”

During the rededication event, Pastor Greg Locke also gave a powerful and fiery message just days after the passing of his son.

“But if this has taught me anything, it is this,” Locke said. “Boldness without brokenness only makes you a bully. And I’ll be bold in the future, there’s no doubt, but I believe God’s using the passing of my boy to bring about a new level of anointing that I did not know anything about or how to tap into. And God uses brokenness and pain as a platform, and I believe God will use this pain as a platform to open doors that no man can shut and shut doors that no man can open…”

Lou Engle also shared a dream with the crowd about Trump’s election and the coming revival.

“I want you to declare a dream that I had,” Engle said. “That the president was elected, and on this mall, there was a great gathering as far as you could see. And this people began chanting, ‘Revival, revival…'”

A message from President Trump was also included during the event, where he read from 2 Chronicles 7:14.

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land,” Trump read.

As America marked 250 years of history, the gathering became far more than a patriotic celebration—it became a cry for awakening. In a moment filled with prayer, repentance and renewed hunger for the presence of God, many believed they were witnessing not just a commemoration of the past, but a spiritual turning point for the future.

At a time when America is facing moral confusion, cultural unrest and deep spiritual battles, believers across the country are increasingly sensing that revival is no longer just a hopeful idea—it is a desperate necessity.

The glory of God is being made known and declared to people in a powerful end-times movement.

During a recent service at Kathryn Krick’s Five-Fold Church, the presence of God took over in a remarkable way.

“This is where we are in the great global revival where God is purifying His bride, preparing for the return of Jesus Christ,” Krick said. “This must be the global bride, the global body of ‘ve just seen the beginning of the transformation, reformation, revival, purification and beautification of the bride.”

She also talked about the cost of the anointing as well.

To order Kathryn Krick’s new book, Ignite Revival, visit .

“The greater the anointing, the greater the cost,” Krick said. “The greater the sacrifice. We are being asked by God to make a greater cost than most in past generations… have you seen the cost of persecution? Some of you have seen it. This is what we’re all called to. We’re all called to make the sacrifice for Jesus. To lay our lives down for Him. There’s a greater cost if you want greater anointing.”

As worship filled the sanctuary and hearts turned fully toward Jesus, the message was clear: revival is not simply about emotional moments or packed church services. It is about surrender.

In an age marked by compromise and spiritual confusion, believers are once again being challenged to count the cost and pursue holiness with boldness and urgency.

Krick’s message serves as both an invitation and a warning to the church in this prophetic hour. The move of God sweeping across nations is not for spectators, but for surrendered believers willing to lay everything down for the sake of the gospel.

As revival deepens and the presence of God intensifies, the question facing every believer becomes unavoidable: Will we remain comfortable, or will we answer the call to become the purified, powerful bride Jesus is coming back for?
