Did God speak to his prophets about the next Pope years ahead of time?

In a recent video by prophetic voice Charlie Shamp, he shared a vision he had back on May 19, 2018, in which he saw the end of Pope Francis’ life. After this, however, he says he saw what the following pope would be like.

According to Shamp, the vision was given to him while praying late at night. “I was taken to the Vatican and particularly to St. Peter’s Basilica,” he says. There, he saw Pope Francis “sitting in Peter’s chair,” appearing “very, very sick,” and visibly deteriorating. “He seemed to be wounded and unable to recover,” Shamp recalls. Suddenly, Francis was removed from the throne, and another figure took his place.

This new pope, Shamp says, carried a troubling presence. “He claimed to carry the keys of the kingdom,” says Shamp, describing him as youthful and charismatic, yet “clever, cunning, and deceptive.” He adds, “His face seemed to be like a stone and he claimed to be like a rock.” Shamp expressed deep concern, saying, “I knew he would be far worse than Pope Francis.”

Shamp believes the timing and identity of this new pope are prophetically significant. “I don’t believe that it’s by any accident that he was chosen as an American… to bring a conflict against what God is now doing in the United States of America.” He warned that the newly elected pope could be part of a broader effort by globalist forces to oppose a coming Third Great Awakening.

“We desperately need to pray and trust the Lord for the outpouring of revival and that any sort of deception that would attempt to come through this pope would be broken,” says Shamp.

As history unfolds before our eyes, Charlie Shamp’s vision serves as both a prophetic warning and a call to spiritual vigilance. While the world celebrates the surprise election of the first American pope, Shamp urges believers not to be swept up in the excitement but to discern the times with prayerful clarity. In a moment when global influence and spiritual authority converge, Shamp’s message is clear: the church must rise in intercession, reject deception and contend for the revival God intends for this generation.

God is ready to do miraculous signs and wonders in our day and age.

In a powerful prophetic message rooted in Exodus 14, Kathryn Krick drew a parallel between the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt and what God is doing through His people in this “year of acceptance.”

According to Krick, the expansion of revival has awakened opposition from the enemy, but this is a sign that breakthrough is already underway.

“God needs His army for this revival to expand,” Krick declares. “He needs his army to shine brighter and to be stronger and to receive more impartation of anointing.”

As doors are opening and influence is increasing, the devil is reacting in fear and fury. “The devil’s angry about the doors that God has already opened… The devil is terrified.”

Krick compares Pharaoh’s reaction to letting the Israelites go with Satan’s attempt to reverse the progress of God’s people. “This reminds me of the devil. What have we done? What have we done letting this revival expand to new places? Expand to the TV, to new platforms.” The devil, like Pharaoh, realizes too late the power of what’s been released and begins to pursue with everything he has.

So, what should believers know? That with with every advancement in God’s kingdom, the enemy intensifies his attacks.

“That’s why you see attacks whenever you advance,” she notes. “You shouldn’t ever be afraid… when you find the heaviest attacks when you’ve advanced more than ever before. But the devil’s a loser if you can just stand strong in faith.”

Yet, the Israelites’ fear when confronted by Pharaoh’s army is a cautionary tale. “They shift really quickly,” says Krick. “They were quick to lose faith… forgetting that God did all those wonders in Egypt for them.” But Moses responded with bold faith: “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today… The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”

Encouraging believers not to give in to fear or persecution, Krick urges believers to, “Keep your eyes focused on Jesus. Remember all the miracles He’s done… He will surely come through again.”

As revival spreads across nations, the assurance is firm: “The sea is splitting. The sea is splitting for the revival army.”

Victory is not just coming—it’s already begun.

As spiritual warfare intensifies in our culture, many believers are waking up to the urgent need for the church to reclaim its authority in deliverance ministry. Contrary to popular belief, deliverance is not an outdated or fringe practice—it is a vital part of the Christian life and deeply intertwined with healing and freedom.

On an episode of the We Need to Talk podcast, Bev Tucker shared with Ezekiel Azonwu the truth surrounding deliverance that many people ignore.

“The devil…is a legalist,” Tucker explains. “He has to have every ‘i’ dotted, every ‘t’ crossed because those are the little things he tries to hold people with.” This is why many struggle to get free from spiritual oppression. But the Holy Spirit has equipped the church with gifts to break those strongholds.

“Deliverance ministry…goes hand in hand with the gifts of the Holy Spirit—word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, miracles,” she says.

One example she gave involved a woman who had suffered pain in her womb for over two years. “She did not tell me about it, but God healed her supernaturally as we were removing the demonic. That was miraculous. She has had no pain since.”

Despite such testimonies, some still argue Christians shouldn’t need deliverance. But as Tucker notes, “Deliverance is healing.” Referring to Jesus’ interaction with the Syrophoenician woman in Matthew, she said, “He called deliverance healing…And then he said it’s the children’s bread. Who are the children? We are.”

There is also a misconception that the Holy Spirit cannot co-exist with demonic influence. But Scripture tells a different story. “Second Corinthians 7:1 says, ‘Let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit.’” Tucker points out, “We say, ‘Our spirit can’t be contaminated because we’re born again,’ but that’s what you just read.”

Witchcraft, in particular, poses a serious threat to the purity of a believer’s spirit. “I believe that witchcraft is the number one thing that can defile your spirit,” she says. “They do rituals. All of those. Beyoncé’s one of them…Taylor Swift, she’s another one. They are doing rituals.”

While people seeking deliverance may have been steeped into truly difficult circumstances, those who are providing deliverance must do this with all humility in a responsible manner. “Manifestation is not deliverance,” Tucker clarifies. “A lot of people will manifest, but they’re still not getting delivered.”

This means it is vital for deliverance ministers to operate with discernment and compassion. “We shouldn’t do deliverance just because we want to be some big superhero… I want to see you walking in victory and getting out of the torment.”

True deliverance is about more than just momentary manifestations—it’s about breaking free from the chains that bind us, walking in the fullness of God’s power and embracing the freedom that Christ died to give us. With the right guidance and the presence of the Holy Spirit, we can experience complete freedom, walking in victory over the forces that seek to oppress us.

In a passionate and sobering message, Perry Stone urged believers to take to heart the biblical warning: “Beware of the dogs.”

Drawing from Philippians 3 and Revelation 22, he explains that the term “dogs” is not referring to household pets but to individuals who, through their words and actions, are destructive, divisive and spiritually dangerous.

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

“Beware of dogs. Beware of evil workers,” he says, quoting Philippians. He emphasizes that these “dogs” symbolize people with unclean spirits—those who attack others with their words and stir up strife, often under the guise of righteousness. Stone clarifies, “I’m not talking about beware of your pet… I’m talking about people who are vicious with the words of their mouth.”

Throughout Scripture, dogs are used figuratively. Jesus once told a Gentile woman, “I cannot give the children’s bread to the dogs,” using the term as a cultural reference to the uncircumcised and those outside the covenant. Stone notes, “It was a degrading term for Gentiles.” Yet, even then, the woman’s humble reply moved Jesus: “Even the dogs want the crumbs from the master’s table.”

Beyond cultural context, dogs also symbolize spiritual impurity. “The Bible talks about the pig returning to the mire and the dog returning to its vomit,” he explains, warning that some who claim to follow Christ still harbor viciousness in their hearts.

Social media becomes another battleground, as Stone cautions against following “people who are absolutely fruitless… who are not helping anyone to get healed of their wounds.” He highlights the danger of those who “lie in hypocrisy”—people who repeat harmful things without verifying truth, motivated by a desire to damage reputations.

In a vivid illustration, Stone recalls a mangy dog barking furiously at a train, trying to stop it with noise and aggression. “Does that dog barking actually think he can stop the momentum of an iron beast called a train?” The metaphor is clear: critics may bark, but they can’t stop God’s plan.

His final encouragement echoes with bold faith: “Let the dogs bark, but let the train roll on.” In other words, don’t be deterred by gossip, slander or opposition—God’s purpose will prevail.

In a time when criticism, slander and spiritual compromise run rampant—even within the church—Perry Stone’s message is a wake-up call to stay focused, stay pure and stay the course. The noise of opposition may grow louder, but it holds no power over the momentum of a life anchored in God’s purpose.

What message is God trying to share with us today?

In a moment marked by symbolism and spiritual significance, white smoke rose over the Vatican, signaling the election of a new pope—Robert F. Prevost, the first American pope in history, taking the name Leo XIV. “This is a historic moment—they have never chosen an American pope before,” Grace emphasizes in a new livestream video. “Of all names, he chooses the name Leo—lion.”

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

This development is more than a political or religious milestone. It is, according to Grace, a prophetic sign of the times. “The new pope will be a sign of the times,” she says. “Because Francis was a sign of the times… and now an American pope is raised up during Trump.”

The timing of this event is crucial. The announcement of a new Pope comes within the sacred 50-day window between Passover and Pentecost—a period often associated with divine shifts. “The old pope dies on Passover. He’s announced dead on Passover. The new pope is chosen within this 50-day window,” she explains.

This window, Grace believes, also carries a warning for America: “This is a sign of the times… and why the alarm is being sounded in America.”

She drew attention to another event: the unexpected victory of a horse named Sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby just five days prior. “Sovereignty—a sign of the times and what the Lord is doing… This is God’s sovereignty right now entering this time versus those that want to create their own sovereignty.”

Describing Pope Leo XIV as a “dark horse,” Grace likened his emergence to the unexpected winner at the Derby. “This man’s name wasn’t even being spoken about… And all of a sudden, this dark horse comes up out of nowhere. Why? Because the conditions of the track changed.”

Geographic symbolism also plays a role. “He is chosen out of the very area that Barack Obama is raised up, which is Chicago. I don’t think that’s an accident,” says Grace, linking this with a prophetic word from Sept. 24, 2024: “The winds are shifting over California. The winds are shifting over New York. The winds are shifting over Chicago and Illinois, says the Lord… This is a wind, a holy wind… meant to blow the cover off what has been hidden.”

The spiritual war being described isn’t new, but one that has been at work for years. “Biden, Harris—Ahab, Jezebel,” she declares, drawing parallels to 1 Kings 22 and the era of Elijah. “False prophets, false mouthpieces being paid by the government to promote propaganda… to promote Baal worship.”

Yet amid corruption, Grace sees hope: “Revival is going to break out in Italy… I’m just telling you… they don’t mean to do it but God is sovereign and he counters these things.”

As prophetic symbols align—from a racehorse named Sovereignty to a pope named Leo—the message is clear: “Keep all of this in mind… because this was a dark horse.”

Has a prophecy by William Branham about an American pope just come to pass?

Branham, whose prophetic words have spoken to people for generations, had an intriguing prophecy that related an end times American Pope and what would happen next in the global church.

In this prophecy, Branham said the following:

I believe one of these glorious days, when this united confederation of church goes together, and the new pope is brought out of the United States, and put over there according to prophecy, then they’ll form an image like unto the beast. And I tell you, the true church of God will be drove together.

This is quite terrifying when you think about it. As we’ve seen the signs of the end times all around us, could the rise of this American pope be a signal that we are about to see greater tribulations?

The real, true believers out of Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, whatever they’ll be, will go together, and cemented by the love of God, that’ll make the Body of the Lord Jesus, all the believers, and agnostics and shallow-minded will be cast to one side; they’ll go right on into the confederation of churches.

Economically, we see global instability, inflation and the rise of digital currencies—all potential tools for controlling commerce as foreshadowed in Revelation 13. Politically, nations are growing more hostile to biblical truth, aligning in ways that echo end-times alliances.

Within the church, we are seeing a painful but prophetic division. As Branham warned, the true believers are being “drove together” not by convenience, but by conviction. Lines are being drawn as churches compromise to stay culturally relevant, while remnant believers cling to the truth of God’s Word.

Could Branham’s prophecy already be coming to pass? If so, it is not a moment for fear, but for clarity. The shaking of the systems around us is pushing the true church to stand firm, united in Christ and ready for His return. Now is the time to be watchful, grounded in the Word, and led by the Spirit.

Is there a spiritual war raging over motherhood?

In a message to his Beth-Israel congregation, Jonathan Cahn explained why the cultural assault against motherhood has great implications in the spiritual realm, and how Christians can combat this today.

A Wake-Up Call for Society

As Cahn points out, the role of a mother has been synonymous with the nurturing, protection and provision of life. However, modern movements have sought to diminish the importance of motherhood, particularly with the rise of feminist ideologies, the redefinition of gender roles and increasingly liberal policies. This societal change threatens the very foundation of family life, and it is crucial that we recognize and understand the profound impact of this shift.

Motherhood, as God intended, is a sacred calling that cannot be replaced or redefined. A woman’s natural role as the giver of life, nurturer and protector is integral to the survival and flourishing of families and society. However, a war against these foundational values is being waged on multiple fronts, with the push for abortion rights, the blurring of gender lines, and the devaluation of the family unit. These cultural attacks not only undermine motherhood but also contribute to a spiritual crisis, one that is centered on rejecting the life-giving nature of women.

The Rise of a Culture of Death

Cahn notes that one of the most alarming trends in society today is the cultural shift away from the value of life and toward the promotion of death. Abortion, which directly contradicts the very essence of motherhood, has been politically and culturally celebrated in many circles as a woman’s right, but it fundamentally undermines the sanctity of life. The termination of a pregnancy erases a mother’s unique role and sacrifices the potential of life that she carries.

This shift, fueled by the sexual revolution and modern feminism, has ultimately led to a society where fertility rates are plummeting, and the essence of motherhood is being relegated to the background.

“The rates of fertility childbirth in our in the western world have been collapsing,” says Cahn. “Now you even have a now more radical war against motherhood and against womanhood.”

The Redefinition of Womanhood

In recent times, society has taken aim not only at traditional motherhood but also at the very definition of what it means to be a woman. The cultural war against women has escalated as gender identities become more fluid and less tied to biological sex. Movements that encourage men to transition into women and vice versa have led to the erasure of women’s unique identity and role in society. Terms like “birthing people” are now being used to redefine what it means to be a mother, further distancing the concept of motherhood from the natural, biological function it was always intended to fulfill.

“It is it’s erasing womanhood,” says Cahn. “At the same time, you can’t erase reality… motherhood is a sacred thing, it’s of God.”

In light of the ongoing cultural battles, it is more important than ever to honor and protect the institution of motherhood. The challenges faced by mothers are not merely cultural or societal; they are spiritual.

As society continues to redefine gender roles and attack the value of life, the Christian community must stand firm in its belief that motherhood is sacred and should be upheld as one of the highest callings. By nurturing and protecting the family, we honor not only mothers but the Creator who designed the family as the bedrock of human civilization.

Have we just turned the page on a brand-new prophetic era?

Now that the cardinal conclave has elected a new pope, Leo XIV, Amanda Grace is sharing her stunning insights on what this means from a spiritual perspective.

“In an incredibly historic moment, and prophetic moment, a new pope has been chosen. And this new pope is an American pope. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been chosen. For the first time ever in history, an American pope has been chosen,” says Grace.

Grace points out what most people have missed: the prophetic meaning behind the new pope’s chosen name.

“He has taken the name Leo XIV. Leo is the lion. Lion XIV. Highly prophetic, highly profound. And the reason why this is happening, I had said in a recent broadcast that the new pope was going to be a sign of the times.”

Grace points to the biblical election that took place in November here in America as a catalyst for major shifts happening in the spiritual realm.

“It triggered a changing of the guard that was going to affect the entire earth. And from that election and President Trump taking his second term, we now see an American pope being chosen for the first time ever,” she says.

Grace further notes that the choosing of the new pope took place between Passover and Pentecost, which is a 50-day window.

“50 is the Jubilee where there are reversals,” says Grace. “So, you have fire for Pentecost, and you have the lion, Leo XIV.”

She believes this is key to a critical two-year period that we are entering into.

“The lion is taking the position of pope,” Grace says. “And it’s an American. It’s all connected.”

As Amanda Grace boldly declares, this moment is not just a political or religious milestone—it is a prophetic shift of global significance. From the rise of an American pope to the symbolic timing between Passover and Pentecost, every detail points to a divine orchestration unfolding on the world stage.

In today’s world of distractions and debates, one of the most overlooked and misunderstood spiritual practices in the body of Christ is praying in the Spirit—often referred to as praying in tongues or in a heavenly language. For many believers, this gift is wrapped in confusion, relegated to denominational lines or confined to charismatic circles.

As Sergio Nazir Chavez points out in a recent video, we should be asking a different kind of question: what if this spiritual gift was never meant to be controversial, but rather a divine key to personal breakthrough, spiritual power and deeper intimacy with God?

Beyond Controversy: A Call to Clarity

“This is not a denominational thing—it is a spiritual thing,” says Chavez.

To order Sergio Nazir Chavez’s new book, Spiritual Portals, visit .

These words cut through the confusion and invite us to see tongues not as a divisive doctrine but as a unifying force empowered by the Holy Spirit. The gift of tongues, according to Scripture, transcends theological boundaries and invites believers into a supernatural experience that brings refreshment, power, and revelation.

The foundation of praying in tongues stretches back to the Old Testament. Isaiah 28:11–12 speaks of “stammering lips and another tongue,” a prophecy later echoed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:21 to emphasize the significance of spiritual language. Far from a novelty of the early church, tongues are a fulfillment of divine prophecy—one that connects the old and new covenants in profound unity.

Tongues: A Divine Weapon of Unity and Power

From the tower of Babel to the upper room at Pentecost, the Bible traces the movement of language as both a divider and a unifier. In the Old Testament, God confounded human language to halt prideful ambition. But in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit descended, language became the tool of unity once again.

“Now what was divided in the Old Testament we see now the Holy Spirit is unifying… He came to unify us in the Spirit, unify us in one language, one blood, one Resurrection, one God,” Chavez says.

Praying in tongues is more than a mystical expression—it is a divine weapon. It tears down walls of division, builds up the inner man and aligns the believer with heaven’s agenda. The Day of Pentecost was not a one-time event; it was a model for divine outpouring that continues today.

From the Outer Gate to the Holy of Holies

To understand the depth of this gift, Chavez draws a powerful comparison to the Tabernacle of Moses. The believer’s journey in Christ mirrors the movement from the outer court to the holy place, and ultimately to the Holy of Holies. Praying in tongues is not the destination—it’s a doorway. It helps the believer move from justification to sanctification and into deeper glorification with Christ.

“You can have people that just pray in tongues but not have the full understanding of what they’re doing,” he warns. Tongues are not a badge of spirituality, but a means to press into greater depths of God’s presence and power.

The True Evidence of the Spirit

While tongues are often pointed to as evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Chavez makes an important clarification: the true sign of a Spirit-filled life is not merely speaking in tongues, but bearing the fruit of the Spirit. “You can have tongues, but if you have no love, then it is in vain. The Bible does talk about you can have the gifts but if you don’t have love then it is not in void, it is empty, it is just as clashing symbols.”

Love, joy, peace, patience—these are the hallmarks of transformation, and tongues are meant to strengthen the believer toward this end.

Praying in the Spirit: Your Spiritual Gym

When a believer prays in tongues, it is spiritual exercise. “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,” the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:4. The word “edify” means to build up—like constructing a building on the foundation of Christ. Just as the body grows stronger through resistance and repetition, the spirit grows stronger through praying in the heavenly language. It is nourishment for the inner man, power for the journey, and alignment with heaven.

A Present Truth for a Prophetic People

This gift is not just for the early church or past revivals. “It’s supposed to go beyond the former moves,” Chavez declares. God is pouring out His Spirit in these last days in unprecedented ways. The gift of tongues is not a relic of Pentecost, but a present reality for every believer willing to embrace it.

As the church hungers for revival and the world cries out for truth, praying in the Spirit may be one of the most untapped weapons in the believer’s arsenal. It is time to rediscover this beautiful gift—not as a token of spiritual superiority, but as a tool for edification, unity, and supernatural breakthrough.

Are you ready to go deeper? Then don’t stop at the outer gate. Step into the holy place. Pray in the Spirit. Be built up, strengthened and empowered for such a time as this.

Rabbi Kirt Schneider has spoken out in strong support of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold former President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. Referencing his international campaign, Taking the Rainbow Back, which launched over two years ago, Rabbi Schneider says he is “thrilled” by the ruling, calling it “common sense stuff.”

Quoting Deuteronomy 22:5, Schneider emphasizes the biblical foundation for maintaining the distinction between male and female: “A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on women’s clothing. Whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”

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

He argues that these lines drawn by God in creation are not only sacred but essential to the health and stability of society. “There is intelligent design in creation,” he says, warning against allowing emotions or cultural trends to override God’s word.

The issue of war on gender is something Schneider dives into in his latest book, Decoding the Torah, where he explores more than one hundred laws from Genesis to Deuteronomy and their application for today’s believers. On the topic of gender, he writes that “the differences between maleness and femaleness are to be celebrated and preserved,” warning that ignoring these distinctions leads to “confusion and societal chaos.”

Not only is this a cultural battle, but Schneider sees the prophetic implications of what it could mean for Christians to support the truth in a society built up by immorality. In a dream, Schneider saw himself being removed from a governmental assembly and briefly jailed for speaking the truth. Despite the threat of further consequences, he still feels compelled to speak out on behalf of young boys and men who are growing up in a culture that denies gender differences. “They’re being told that there are no differences,” he says. “That maleness and femaleness are the same thing.”

Arguing that transgender inclusion weakens military readiness, Schneider recalls his own experience as a youth on a male wrestling team. “It was all men. I would have been heartbroken if they had allowed a woman onto the men’s wrestling team.” He claimed that male-only environments build strength and identity, while mixed settings compromise both.

Quoting Trump’s spokesperson, he notes that the president’s decision was about restoring a military focused on “readiness and lethality, not DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion or some woke gender ideology.” According to Schneider, “merging the sexes together weakens men and it weakens women.”

Above all, Schneider issues a strong call for men to reclaim their God-given role: “Be men. Take your manhood back.” He believes that biblical masculinity brings security to women and restores the harmony God intended between the sexes. “Your wife doesn’t want you to follow them… They want you to lead.”

In a culture increasingly shaped by shifting ideologies, Rabbi Schneider’s message stands as a clear and uncompromising call to return to the foundations of biblical truth. As debates around identity and morality continue to intensify, his challenge to believers is simple yet urgent: embrace God’s original blueprint, stand firm in truth and refuse to be silenced by the voices of confusion.
