Hidden Blueprint for Power-Filled Christianity—Now Revealed

There’s a growing interest in rediscovering the roots of the Christian faith and understanding its connection to the Jewish heritage. Both Jennifer Bagnaschi and Rabbi Kirt Schneider emphasize how vital it is for Christians to explore and embrace the Torah—not just as an ancient set of laws, but as a living guide that is deeply relevant to believers today.

The Torah: More Than Old Laws

The Torah, often seen as a collection of laws from ancient Israel, is often misunderstood or sidelined in modern Christian circles. However, Rabbi Kirt Schneider passionately shares that the Torah is not merely a historical relic. It is a foundational text that reveals the heart of God and His covenant with His people. Through the Torah, we learn God’s character, His holiness and His deep love for humanity.



While the ceremonial aspects of the Torah may no longer be practiced, the underlying principles—justice, mercy, holiness and obedience—remain essential for Christians. The Torah was never meant to be discarded; rather, it should be seen as a key to understanding the fullness of God’s plan through Jesus Christ.

Jesus and the Torah: The Perfect Fulfillment

Schneider and Bagnaschi highlight a critical point—Jesus did not abolish the Torah; He came to fulfill it. In the Gospels, we see Jesus affirming the relevance of the Torah while deepening its meaning. His teachings often echoed the principles found in the Torah, but He also showed how they point directly to Him as the fulfillment of God’s promises.

For example, Jesus’ sermon on the Mount brought out the deeper spiritual meaning behind the Torah’s laws, showing how they reveal the heart of God’s righteousness. He magnified the Torah’s call to holiness, teaching that it’s not just about external actions, but the condition of the heart.

Living the Torah Today

For Christians today, embracing the Torah means engaging with it as a spiritual roadmap. Rabbi Schneider emphasizes that the Torah isn’t just a set of regulations; it’s a guide to a relationship with God. Living according to its principles allows believers to align themselves with God’s will and experience a deeper intimacy with Him. It calls Christians to live lives of holiness, service and justice while reflecting God’s light to the world.

Many believers are rediscovering the richness of the Torah in their daily lives, finding that its commandments serve as a framework for living a life pleasing to God. By embracing the Torah’s wisdom, Christians can develop a deeper understanding of the New Testament, as the entire Bible points to Christ and is interconnected.

A Call to Rediscover the Jewish Roots of Our Faith

Rabbi Schneider and Jennifer Bagnaschi agree that understanding the Torah is essential for fully grasping the Christian faith. It’s a return to the ancient paths, where Jesus walked, taught, and fulfilled prophecy. This rediscovery offers a fuller picture of God’s covenantal promises and their fulfillment in Christ.

As Christians embrace the Torah’s principles and incorporate them into their lives, they grow in their understanding of God’s eternal purpose and deepen their relationship with Jesus. The Torah, though ancient, holds timeless truths that are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

Why Your Hard Work Might Be Useless—Until You Do This One Thing

In our pursuit of spiritual growth, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that our own efforts can get us there. The Christian life can subtly shift from dependence on God to striving in our own strength, even while doing what appear to be good, godly things.

In a recent message, Rabbi Schneider shares a timely reminder rooted in Psalm 127 that offers both encouragement and correction for believers.

“Unless the Lord builds the House, the laborer builds in vain.” This foundational Scripture sets the tone. Many of us are working hard — in ministry, in our families, in personal spiritual disciplines — but the question remains: is the Lord the one building, or are we laboring in our own strength?

Schneider warns, “Sometimes we can be deceived into trying to perfect ourselves merely through our own efforts.  It’s important to put forth effort in our walk with God. Maintaining a walk with God takes effort. But sometimes we can be deceived into thinking that doing, ‘works of holiness’”’ is what causes us to expand spiritually. In reality, what causes us to expand spiritually is dependency upon the Lord.” 

He emphasizes the truth that “God’s power is perfected in our weakness.”



When we recognize our limitations and lean fully on the Lord, something powerful happens: “As we depend on the Lord through life, this is what enlarges our soul and our capacity to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

How often are you trying to do things out of your own strength instead of depending upon God? How often do those things sometimes end up being our focus instead of the One who made heaven and earth?

That’s why Rabbi Schneider reaffirms the full truth of Psalm 127:1 — “Unless the Lord is the one that’s building you up, everything that you’re doing is in vain,” and “Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman is watching in vain.”

So what’s the solution Schneider gives for believers? Return to full dependence on God. “Continue to depend on God for everything in life, whether it’s your business, whether it’s your relationships, whether it’s your work, depend on God, because as you depend on Him, you know what’s going to happen.”

The promise is sure: “He is going to build your house. He’s going to build your life.

When we shift from striving to surrender, we unlock a deeper, more authentic walk with God—one not built on appearances or personal effort, but on the unshakable foundation of His presence and power. True spiritual growth doesn’t come from doing more, but from trusting more.

As we lay down our need to control and invite Him to take the lead, we find that everything we truly need begins to fall into place. Let go of the burden to build your life alone. God is ready—not just to help—but to carry the full weight and bring lasting fruit from what once felt like empty labor.

From Prison to Pastor: You Won’t Believe This Redemption Story

From violent gang member to transformed minister, Alexander Pagani’s testimony is nothing short of miraculous. Raised in the Bronx amidst drugs and crime, Pagani was arrested by age 11 and entrenched in gang life by his teens. Soon, he was facing 20 years for robbery, burglary and kidnapping—and made a brutal statement by stabbing inmates his first day at Riker’s Island. But it was in solitary confinement that God began to reach him.

Through the persistent love of his Christian aunt and a prison guard whose peace intrigued him, Alexander began to wonder if there was more to life. Then, in a supernatural moment in the courtroom, he heard God speak and saw a vision that changed everything. He accepted a reduced sentence and surrendered his life to Jesus.



The transformation was instant and total—cursing, violence and addiction fell away. Alexander began to study the Bible and discovered the love of God as Father. Today, he’s a pastor, author, and spiritual father to the very community he once terrorized.

Amanda Grace Pope Prophecy: Spiritual Reckoning Coming to the Vatican

Were the major shake-ups at the Vatican foretold through prophetic words?

In a recent prophetic message, Amanda Grace shared profound insights regarding the Pope’s death and the future of the Vatican, the World Economic Forum and what God is revealing for this season.

The Dream That Unveiled the Darkness

On July 12, 2022, Grace had a vivid prophetic dream. In it, she saw a massive, demonic, jackal-headed figure perched atop the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica—a dome that also symbolized the U.S. capitol. This terrifying figure represented bribery, greed, temptation and the blood of the innocent. The dream was a direct warning of a shift in leadership in both the United States and the Vatican. It revealed that the spiritual forces behind global corruption were being exposed and judged.



“…it had to do with the shedding of innocent blood, but it also had to do with the change of leadership,” Grace wrote in 2022. “That is set to occur both in the capitol and the Vatican.”

The Lightning Strikes: A Sign From Heaven

The next thing that happened was the unthinkable. Lightning struck the statue of Saint Peter in Buenos Aires on Dec. 17, 2023—the birthday of Pope Francis. The lightning blew the halo off Peter’s head and knocked the keys from his hand. This was not coincidence. It was a direct sign of the Pope’s loss of authority and heaven’s declaration of a spiritual shift. The halo and keys—symbols of divine authority—were removed, signaling God’s judgment on unfaithfulness to biblical truth.

Grace warned that Pope Francis had departed from holiness. The loss of the statue’s halo and keys pointed to a spiritual removal of covering and authority from the Pope himself. Just as Saul lost the kingdom, so too Francis faced the stripping away of spiritual power.

A Prophetic Collision: The Vatican, the WEF and a Global Changing of the Guard

Grace emphasized that this judgment isn’t isolated to the Vatican. A broader reckoning is coming. The Lord is targeting corrupt systems—governments, global organizations and leaders who have aligned with darkness. This is a season of sifting, where only what is rooted in holiness will remain. The lightning strikes serve as a prophetic signal: God is intervening suddenly and powerfully.

Grace began hearing the Lord speak to her specifically about the World Economic Forum, and the potential ties between France to both the Pope and the WEF. She heard: “I am God, there is no other… I am looking at France. I am looking at Macron.” What followed was a piercing prophecy of scandal, collapse, and the unraveling of socialist foundations. Emmanuel Macron was exposed as a front man for another power—one tied directly to the Vatican and the World Economic Forum.

Now that Klaus Schwab has stepped down from the WEF on the same day as Francis’ death, there is no doubt that what is taking place isn’t accidental; it is prophetic.

Amanda Grace’s prophetic insights reveal that we are living in a time of divine confrontation. The Vatican, the Pope, and global powers are being shaken as God begins a spiritual reordering. The dream, the lightning, and the unraveling of corrupt authority all confirm that heaven is moving. Believers must watch, pray and remain anchored in the Word because the days ahead will mark the rise of new leadership and the fall of the counterfeit.

Will a ‘Spirit-Filled Pope’ Fulfill this Prophecy?

Are we about to witness the rise of a “Spirit-filled pope?” And, is it possible that someone will try to stop him from ascending to power?

Back on Apr. 2, 2005, the late prophet Kim Clement prophesied about some unusual items that would happen concerning the rise of a “Spirit-filled pope” and other changes in world leadership.

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

The first part of Clement’s prophecy discusses the outpouring of the Holy Spirit coming upon structures of “rock and stone,” and the rise of a man who will be seen as unfit for leadership according to these masses.

“The Spirit of God shall fall in buildings of rock and stone. It shall fall in places where they least believed it. I will cause chaos and I will say to them, ‘Now, I will take people by the hundreds of millions and share My Spirit with them.’ For I will raise up a man that shall continue, and they will say in the beginning, ‘He won’t be able to do it.’ But there shall be an experience after 33 days and a raising up and a resurrection.”

After this startling resurrection happens, Clement then prophesies of this new Pope, but even more, the end of one generation of leaders and the beginning of a new era.

“And a Spirit-filled pope that will raise up a voice, and he shall speak the truth. And they will say, ‘We must get him out of the way.’ But rejoice this day, for there are deaths of many great leaders, because it is necessary so that I can raise up a new generation of men and women that will go into the marketplace and raise up the name of Yahweh.”

Now that Pope Francis has passed away and the seat is vacant, could we actually see this prophecy come to pass? Will a pope led by the Holy Spirit, despite all opposition, ascend as the leader of the Catholic church and bring back godliness where Francis undermined the work of God’s Spirit? Furthermore, what other world and religious leaders could we possibly see shift powers and position in the coming days?

To order James Lasher’s new book, The Revelation of Jesus, visit Amazon.com.

Let’s pray for the outpouring of God’s Spirit and the emergence of a new generation committed to truth and spiritual renewal that will usher in an era of unprecedented change. The world is on the cusp of a transformation, and we can look to the hope of Christ to restore godliness and truth in our society.

Angels Gave Him a Prayer Strategy for Trump—and It’s Working

The prayers of the righteous worked. Donald Trump was re-elected president. However, this is not the time to cease in prayer for the president.

In a recent message, prophetic minister Mike Thompson shared his powerful angelic visitations and divine strategies for intercession concerning President Donald Trump and the future of America.

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

Recounting a significant spiritual encounter from Apr. 7, 2016, Thompson explained that during a time of intercessory prayer, he was drawn into the spiritual realm. “An angel appeared to me on my right side, and I heard the angel say, ‘The dogs of hell had been released against the one with the hand of the Lord on him. Speak against the spirits of false witness, hatred and murder.’”



The angel’s message revealed that these spiritual forces—false witness, hatred and murder—were targeting Trump, whose image was “superimposed over the angel so that I could see both the candidate and this messenger from God.” Thompson elaborated, “False witness because they are inventing lies, fabrications, and falsehoods. Hatred… is visceral loathing and contempt. Murder… is character assassination and political death.”

He emphasized that this attack continues today, urging believers to remain firm in prayer and support. “Is Donald Trump still the one with the hand of the Lord on it? Yes, absolutely he is… I’m assuring you that God’s hand is working through him… to bring about this great shift… that’s ushering in a new Christian era.”

Thompson’s message of the power of prayer doesn’t end here. He says that believers are also instructed to stand tall and not just pray for God to answer, but to utilize their heavenly authority through powerful decrees. “Stand in authority for your country during these challenging times,” the angels told him. They instructed believers to go beyond asking God to intervene and instead “start decreeing over their nation what they believe.”



Explaining the difference between prayer and decreeing, Thompson said, “Prayer… is asking Him something. But a decree is when you use your spiritual authority to speak it.” He reminded listeners of Jesus before Lazarus’s tomb: “He looked up to heaven… that’s prayer. Then he looked at the tomb and he decreed, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’”

One angelic strategy involved reciting the Lord’s Prayer over the nation: “‘Your kingdom come, your will be done in the United States of America as it is in heaven.’”

Now, Thompson is calling believers to action: “Pull down false witness, hatred, and murder. Pray for President Trump. Pray for the body of Christ. Pray for yourself… and keep speaking your faith into the atmosphere.”

As world leaders converge for the Pope’s funeral, this moment in history calls for bold, unwavering intercession. Believers are urged to lift up President Trump and all global decision-makers in prayer, recognizing the spiritual battles waged behind the scenes. In a time of shifting powers and global uncertainty, the church must rise with authority—declaring God’s will over nations and covering those in leadership with wisdom, protection and divine guidance. Now more than ever, the prayers of the righteous are vital to shaping the future.

Amanda Grace Weighs In on Pope Francis: Is This an End Times Warning?

Is the timing of Pope Francis’ death the sign of something on the way?

Recently, prophetic voice Amanda Grace chimed in with how she believes the timing of Francis’ death during the end of Passover has greater implications in the spiritual realm than we could imagine.

“Pope Francis has died during Passover and the day after Easter and Schwab has stepped down from the Economic Forum,” Grace says.

Grace points out previous predictions of a simultaneous resignation and significant news from the Vatican would come at the same time, paralleling these two events to this prophetic warning. What’s more, she sees this as a symbol of leadership changes coming to the European church.

In a previous clip from Feb. 13, 2025, Grace said, “Smoke from the Vatican, a revival in Italy is rumbling.”

Later on Mar. 31, 2025, she shared her prediction that we would soon be hearing large news from the Vatican.

“I believe during Passover we’re going to see some serious resignations and some serious announcements from the Vatican as well. I believe a very old wound is about to be re-opened,” says Grace. “In the Catholic Church, in the Episcopal Church. A wound is about to be uncovered.”

If Amanda Grace’s prophetic insight holds true, then the death of Pope Francis during such the sacred Passover and Easter season may be more than mere coincidence—it may be a divine signal to the church that we are entering a new era.



If revival is rumbling beneath the soil of Italy, it may soon erupt—and the question we must ask ourselves is: are we ready to be a part of what God is doing next?

Is Elon Musk One of the 10 Kings of the End Times?

In a striking move with far-reaching implications, the Pentagon is considering Elon Musk’s SpaceX for a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. missile tracking system. The plan? Deploy hundreds of low-orbit satellites to replace the aging network of larger, more vulnerable systems. With its unmatched launch technology and a proven track record, SpaceX already has won the majority of contracts—and more may be on the way.

This isn’t just a defense strategy. For those watching world events through a prophetic lens, it may be a sign of something much bigger. In fact, it just may point to Elon Musk‘s pivotal role in the end times.

SpaceX: The Government’s Go-To for Space and Surveillance

As Prophecy Watchers hosts Mondo Gonzales and Gary Stearman note, SpaceX has quietly become indispensable to the U.S. government. From transporting astronauts and cargo to launching some of the most sensitive defense satellites, the company has established itself as a technological powerhouse. Its constellation of over 7,000 Starlink satellites dominates low-Earth orbit—creating a global infrastructure unlike anything seen before.



With few competitors able to match its capabilities, SpaceX no longer is just a private venture. It is now central to military planning, defense readiness and global communication. And the owner of SpaceX has superb power not readily available to most other people.

Elon Musk: A Modern-Day Candidate for Prophetic Power

Elon Musk is no ordinary entrepreneur. He is a billionaire, a visionary and an influencer who now holds the keys to global communication, space access and advanced surveillance systems. According to biblical prophecy, 10 figures will rise to power in the last days—leaders who are not kings in the traditional sense, but powerful influencers who will yield their authority to the Antichrist.

In this context, Musk stands out as a striking candidate for one of these prophetic “ten kings.”

He embodies the traits described in Scripture: immense wealth, global influence, control over technology and a drive to shape the future of humanity. His expanding involvement in military and global systems positions him as a figure who could, one day, hand over technological dominance to a central, antichrist figure.

Surveillance, Control, and the Infrastructure of Prophecy

What makes this development even more compelling is the kind of technology being deployed. Swarms of satellites, capable of global surveillance and tracking, would offer unprecedented control over data, communications, and movement. These tools could easily become the infrastructure for the kind of totalitarian control prophesied in Revelation.

In a future scenario, if someone like Musk were to transfer his satellite network or technological capabilities to a centralized world leader, it could enable mass surveillance, enforcement of a global economic system, and even support the implementation of the mark of the beast.

The Signs Are Clear—The Church Must Wake Up

This isn’t fearmongering—it’s foresight rooted in Scripture. The prophetic books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation point to a time when global powers and technologies will converge under the control of a single, anti-God system. Before that system takes full form, the church will be caught up in the Rapture.

If someone like Elon Musk is already stepping into the kind of role prophecy watchers have warned about—technocratic kings, wielding influence through data, money and machines—then we are closer than ever to seeing these prophecies unfold.

This is a call to readiness.

The hour is late. The pieces are falling into place. And the church must be looking up—for our redemption is drawing near.

Jenny Weaver Sounds the Alarm: The Dangerous Ritual Already Trapping Your Kids

Are your kids unknowingly opening demonic doors?

Many times children are exposed to things that open doors to darkness without their even realizing it. In a recent video, Jenny Weaver uncovered the darkness behind one of these concepts: blood sisters.

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

“Kids are introduced to witchcraft and they have no idea,” Weaver says. “I remember growing up, doing something I thought was so innocent like blood sisters. Cutting our fingers and then us putting our fingers together, letting the blood run between each other and saying we are now forever blood sisters.”

Weaver points out that, to most people, this seems like a harmless game from childhood. The truth is there is something much darker behind it.

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

“That’s what we call blood magic,” Weaver says. “And I explain that and so much more in my book, The Wicked World of Witchcraft. It’s astonishing to me how many witchcraft practices have crept into our normal everyday life and even into the life of a believer.”

As innocent as some childhood games may seem, many carry deeper spiritual implications that go unnoticed—until the consequences surface. Jenny Weaver’s urgent warning is a wake-up call to parents, guardians and believers alike: the enemy doesn’t wait until adulthood to begin his influence. Subtle rituals like “blood sisters” may appear harmless, but they often mirror and mimic practices rooted in witchcraft and the occult. What looks like play can become a gateway, opening spiritual doors that were never meant to be touched.

Now more than ever it’s crucial for families to stay vigilant about what is being introduced to their homes and children. The Word of God calls us to be set apart, and that includes guarding the hearts and minds of the next generation. As Weaver reminds us, not everything that’s “normal” is harmless—and not every trend is innocent. It’s time to expose the darkness, close the doors and declare our households as places of light, truth and freedom in Christ.

He Plays Jesus on TV—But What Happened Behind the Scenes Will Leave You Stunned

Jonathan Roumie, known for his portrayal of Jesus in The Chosen, has candidly shared the profound spiritual challenges he faced while embodying this massive role. In a heartfelt interview, he described the overwhelming responsibility and spiritual warfare that accompanied his performance.

Roumie recounted a particularly intense moment during the filming of the Sermon on the Mount. He said, “I just felt completely out of my element for that scene.” He elaborated, “I’m saying these words that Jesus said to these people that are like looking at me, and I’m there, and I’m like, what am I doing here? I don’t—I shouldn’t be here.”​

The actor also spoke about the physical manifestations of his inner turmoil. He experienced “massive pains like just shooting up into my ear,” identifying it as anxiety. At one point, he suffered from heart palpitations, prompting him to question, “I don’t know what’s happening… I think the spiritual attacks kind of manifest themselves in so many different kinds of ways.“​

During the Sermon on the Mount scene, Roumie felt a sudden rush of panic, describing it as “a force was trying to stop me from speaking the words of Christ.” He noted, “It didn’t feel like stress—it felt like something darker.”​

In response to these challenges, Roumie sought spiritual support. He texted his spiritual director, who immediately began praying the rosary for him. Remarkably, within 15 minutes, the overwhelming sensations subsided.​

Roumie observed that the intensity of spiritual pressure often correlated with the depth of the message being conveyed. He stated, “The more powerful the message, the more intense the pressure.” He described the onset of these feelings as “a strange tightness in my chest, a pain in my ear that had no medical explanation, just a growing sense that something invisible was pushing back.”​

To combat these spiritual attacks, Roumie leaned heavily on his faith practices. He shared, “I fight any and all spiritual attacks with prayer… the rosary, Divine Mercy, the Angelus… I feel like I’ve become more hyper aware of spiritual warfare.”​

Roumie emphasized that his portrayal was not merely acting. He confessed, “I only know what it’s like to be human—and woefully so and failingly so. All I can do is bring the utmost of my humanity and my intention to serve Christ… and get out of the way of the Holy Spirit.”​



Despite the exhaustion and challenges, Roumie recognized a greater purpose. He concluded, “The more light they brought to the world through The Chosen, the more darkness pushed back… It wasn’t just attacks. It wasn’t just pressure. It was a calling. And callings demand suffering.”

In the face of overwhelming pressure, Roumie demonstrated that the power of prayer, humility and surrender to the Holy Spirit can transform the most difficult circumstances into moments of divine purpose.

As The Chosen continues to touch hearts around the world, Roumie’s example serves as an inspiring reminder to all believers that following Christ often requires stepping into the unknown with courage, knowing that God’s strength will carry us through the hardest of battles.
