In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, John Ramirez discussed the secrets to spiritual warfare that most Christians do not properly understand. However, knowing how to fight the good fight of faith is critical for us to be good stewards of what the Lord has given us and so that we can live in the victory Christ died to provide for His children.

“Christians haven’t been fully discipled in spiritual warfare,” Ramirez says.

Ramirez’s new book, “Exposing the Devil’s Playbook,” is meant to help Christians learn how to spot the signs of the enemy and fight back with the Word of God. Ramirez says that it’s not once we feel the effects of the enemy that we should be operating with heaven’s authority, but rather before the storm hits.

“What’s standing [in] your blind spot?” Ramirez asks. “If you can see the footsteps [of the enemy], you could be on the offense…you don’t have to be in the defense all the time.”

One of the blind spots within the church that Ramirez discusses is how Christians actively participate in events that are not of God, but rather are pieces of deception, leading people toward darkness instead of light.

“We practice the things of the kingdom of darkness into our church,” Ramirez says.

Ramirez points to the acceptance and celebration of Halloween within the church. He compares it to his days as a Satanist and how he never would have celebrated Good Friday when he was in the kingdom of darkness, yet there are Christians who are openly celebrating darkness instead of light.

“What happened to the church….we love the things we do, but we don’t love who we do it for anymore,” he says. “We love the things we do because it brings attention to us, but we don’t love the person we do it for anymore, which is Jesus Christ.”

Was there a demonic spirit influencing Luigi Mangione when he murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson?

In a truly wild and heartbreaking story, UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, was murdered in cold blood by the 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate. The loss of Thompson, a father to two children, is devastating. What makes the story even scarier is the realization that there may have been something incredibly dark leading Mangione to commit such a crime.

As conservative commentator Charlie Kirk noted, Mangione previously seemed quite normal. He was his high school’s valedictorian, received an Ivy League computer science degree and was a centrist politically. However, six months ago he seemed to disappear from those who cared the most about him.

“He was supposed to participate in a friend’s wedding this fall when he suddenly vanished and stopped speaking even to his family and friends,” Kirk says. “According to his friends, Mangione had a dramatic personality change after undergoing back surgery. He also posted about experimenting with psychedelic drugs.”

Kirk presents the possibility that Mangione could have used the drugs to relieve himself of the pain from the surgery. He also notes how Mangione’s GoodReads page includes Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto. Kaczynski, known as the “Unabomber,” was found guilty of mail bombings that occurred between 1978 and 1995, according to USA TODAY. The Christian Post reported that Mangione is also believed to have written a 262-word manifesto that was found with him at the time of his arrest.

The manifesto believed to be by Mangione states that he worked alone, and it rattled against the profitability of healthcare, comparing it to the life expectancy of Americans. The note said that corporations, “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.”

The use of psychedelics and the buy-in from a bomber’s manifesto point to something horrifying and dark working in Mangione.

“There’s a deeper thing at play here worth some examination,” Kirk says. “[In the Bible] there is a prohibition on the Greek word called “Pharmakeia,” which is exactly what this guy used, and I believe it is a gateway to the demonic and the underworld.”

The spirit of Pharmakeia, goes back to Galatians 5:20, and translates to “witchcraft” and “sorcery.” It speaks in the context of creating and using drugs. Psychedelics, which are used for their hallucinogenic effects, could fall under this category as they try to “open the mind” to something beyond this world, much like sorcery and potions do, opening the door to the realm of the demonic.

In the wake of this terrible, devastating crime, Mangione’s family is offering their prayers and condolences to Brian Thompson’s family.

Will 2025 be the year of acceleration?

Prophetic voice Tomi Arayomi is sharing how he believes 2025 will be the year of acceleration for many Christian believers.

“I have a word of the Lord coming out for 2025,” Arayomi says.

Arayomi shares that the word will be both loved and hated.

“The word is let go or God will,” Arayomi says.

Arayomi says that God is getting ready to fast-track some people, but the only way he can do that is if they let go of some people and places from the past. It’s only by letting go of this grip, this control, will God step in to intervene and do what only He can do.

“God is about to fast forward some people into some places that your brain hasn’t even caught up with where He’s taking you,” he says. “God is going to give you time. Which [He’s] already given to let go of some people. I’m not talking about bad people. I’m talking about good people.”

Arayomi compares the scenario to when Abraham and Lot parted ways in Genesis.

“When Abraham shed Lot…and decided, ‘I’m not going to be responsible for him anymore. I’m just going to leave him to God,’ and he let go of Lot, that’s when God said, ‘Lift up your eyes now and look,'” says Arayomi.

To order Brian Barcelona’s new book, “Legends Die Young,” visit Amazon.com.

After Abraham let go of Lot, God propelled him forward into the calling and purposes He had planned for Abraham.

“Acceleration took place simply by letting go of Lot,” Arayomi says. “This is a season where the moment you let it go, you’ll see an acceleration. This is that hour where God’s saying to Samuel, ‘How long are you going to weep over Saul? How long are you going to keep crying over what I’ve cut off?'”

This is a moment to lift up our eyes, and let go of the grief, the pain and the trauma and allow God to take us forward to the very next step, to the next place in the destiny He has prepared for us.

In a world where we are constantly seeing people seek to either give or receive prophetic words, it can become easy to wonder what’s really from God and what isn’t. In a new video discussing how to discern between true and false prophets, Chris Garcia explained how you can look for the characteristics of a true prophet of the Lord.

To order Chris Garcia’s new book, “Fresh Oil,” visit Amazon.com.

“A true prophet will never lead you to themselves. They’ll lead you to Christ,” Garcia says.

Garcia says a true prophet of God will guide and direct you to hear from the Lord yourself, not become dependent on them. Garcia also reminds believers that we have a natural desire to despise the prophetic because it has been abused in the past. However, Scripture tells us that we should not avoid prophecy simply because we are wary of it.

“There’s a human inclination to despise it because it gets so abused, but you can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” Garcia says. “Just because someone is prophesying, number one, doesn’t always mean it’s God, but number two, just because you’ve seen abuses and prophetic utterances you cannot throw prophecy away.”

When it comes to receiving a prophetic word, we must also keep in mind not to become obsessed with seeking them out. This too is dangerous, and undermines the reality that the Lord wants to commune with us daily in a personal and intimate relationship with Him.

“If God wants to give you a word, He’ll give you a word. Stop obsessing over words and get obsessed with His face,” says Garcia.

It’s also important to recognize that sometimes the Lord will give us words, but they are not for us to speak.

“Not every word, prophetic person, is for you to say,” says Garcia. “Just because you get a word doesn’t mean that you always give it. Sometimes, it’s for you to hold in your heart and for you to pray.”

In a powerful message, Jeremiah Johnson gave a word to the people of God for what to expect in the year 2025.

For many Christians, God has placed dreams, blueprints and designs in their heart that seem to have been placed on hold, left delayed for a later time. However, one of the things Johnson believes will happen in this coming year is that those plans will no longer be placed on hold.

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

“The Lord is beginning to show me that there are things that many of you have put on the shelf,” Johnson says. “There are projects and there are things that God has called many of us to do that we have pushed aside. There’s been a delay. There’s been a setback, whether it be by the hand of the enemy or we have just felt like the Holy Spirit has told us to pull back…”

Johnson declares that what was delayed this year and even for the past four years will no longer be pushed to the backburner. Instead, the time of fulfillment is coming. This is the time for God’s people to get busy building His kingdom for His glory.

“The Lord says, ‘In the next five years in the earth, is this not a season to build? Is this not a season to get established? Is this not a season, says the Lord, where a spirit of Goshen will fall upon my people?'” Johnson prophesies.

To order Joakim Lundqvist’s new book, “Shine Your Light,” visit Amazon.com.

Johnson believes divine fulfillment is just around the corner for what God has spoken to many of His people about.

“Those blueprints and those plans that you set aside for a later time, the Lord says, ‘Even as you enter into this year 2025, now is the time,'” he says. “I hear the Spirit of the Lord say, ‘Now is the time to build. For there is a divine window of mercy that has been opened up over America.”

Johnson prophesies that the people of God will be rooted firmly on the Word, abiding in Jesus’ streams of living water, bringing forth much fruit for the Lord’s kingdom.

“You will not be resisted into 2025, but that you will succeed,” says Johnson. “For there’s a spirit of acceleration…I declare a new day, America. I declare a new beginning, America.”

Johnson says that in 2025, the green light is on for the things that have been on pause.

“It’s time to plant the churches in 2025. It’s time to start the businesses in 2025,” he says. “The Lord is bringing divine confirmation…there’s something that’s been delayed. There’s something that’s been pushed to the side. There’s something that’s been postponed and the Lord is saying, ‘No longer.'”

Being lukewarm is one of the worst things any of us could possibly be. The book of Revelation tells us that those who are lukewarm will be spit out from God’s mouth, cast away from His presence. The question is, are there signs to know if you are lukewarm?

In a recent video, Isaiah Saldivar discussed seven signs you can look for to know if you are lukewarm.

To order Isaiah Saldivar’s new book, “How to Cast Out Demons,” visit Amazon.com.

“There is no such thing in the Bible as a lukewarm Christian,” Saldivar says. “If you are lukewarm, you’re not saved, and God is going to vomit you out of His mouth.”

1. You are indifferent toward the Word of God.

Saldivar says those who are indifferent to the Word of God, who do not prioritize spending time with Jesus show signs of being lukewarm.

“There’s no prioritizing reading the Word, there’s no prioritizing studying the Word, there’s no desire to obey Scripture,” says Saldivar. “You treat God casually, and God is an option.”

2. A lukewarm person compromises with sin.

“Instead of striving for a life of holiness…the lukewarm person tolerates sin in their life,” Saldivar says.

He points out that a lukewarm person will excuse their behavior and continue to live in sin, even though that is contrary to the Word of God.

“They don’t see the danger of sin. They don’t see the fact that sin wants to destroy your life, that God hates it so much He sent His only son to die as your sin for your sin so you don’t have to live in it any longer.”

3. Lukewarm people have a lack of zeal for the Lord.

Those who are lukewarm do not have a passion and a desire to worship the Lord, to pray and to commune with Jesus.

“No passion for worship, no passion for prayer, no excitement to serve others,” he continues. “Worship to the lukewarm feels boring, dull routine and an obligation rather than a heartfelt privilege.”

4. Those who are lukewarm are worldly.

Those who are lukewarm have a heart for the things and pleasures of this world more than they do for God.

“The prioritize materialism, success and the pleasures of this world over spiritual growth and the fires of God,” Saldivar says. “This person loves celebrities, they love celebrity culture and they’re more worried about what celebrities are doing than what God is doing.”

5. Those who are lukewarm fail to interact in godly fellowship with others.

“They avoid gathering with other believers or engaging in godly community and accountability,” Saldivar says.

6. Those who are lukewarm do not engage in prayer.

“A lukewarm person no longer has a vibrant prayer life,” he says. “They only pray out of emergencies and habits.”

However, it is through prayer that we seek and find the presence of the Lord. We are supposed to constantly be praying, continuously seeking Him and His goodness.

7. The lukewarm person does not care about those who are lost and far from God.

“The lukewarm rarely ever shares their faith with anybody; they rarely ever lead anyone to Christ. They rather focus on their own comfort and their own life. They’re self-centered, self-sufficient and unconcerned with the fact that people are going to hell on a daily basis,” Saldivar says.

“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose,” (Rom. 8:28).

Media personality, Glenn Beck, explained why he believes that Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss was a “miracle.”

“I have more confidence in Donald Trump now than any other president I’ve met with,” Beck says in a video posted to X. “The guy is super, super informed.”

“It is a blessing, honestly, it is a miracle, that he lost in 2020,” he continues.

Honestly, it is a MIRACLE that Trump didn't return to the White House in 2020. He is a CHANGED MAN now. He was given 4 years to figure out how the Deep State thwarted him and how he can DISMANTLE the whole thing. When I met with him on Tuesday, he made it very clear: Change is… pic.twitter.com/VxsoIyep2S

— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) December 4, 2024

Beck says that at the time of the 2020 election outcome he thought for sure that the nation was doomed. However, he says that the excellent leader and man that Trump is today would not have emerged if he did not experience loss in 2020.

“We would not have had this president, the man he is today, if it wasn’t for his loss in 2020,” Beck says.

He believes Trump’s ability to reflect on the past four years may have been a critical part of his transformation and keen attention to detail on how to win the following election.

To order Troy Anderson’s new book, “The Trump Code,” visit Amazon.com.

“As long as he’s following the Constitution and the laws, he’s going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time,” says Beck.

With the countdown to the Trump’s inauguration underway, let’s keep him and his incoming administration in prayer, that they would be led by the Holy Spirit with how to move our nation forward in the coming days and years.

With 2025 just on the horizon, many people may not be thinking about what’s coming in 2030. However, what if God has given us a warning we should heed?

In a recent video with Katie Souza and Tomi Arayomi, the two discussed the prophetic implications of why we need to be thinking ahead to 2030.

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

Arayomi says that the idea of us needing to build a “Goshen” right now first came to him in 2020 when God told him a very specific message.

“In 2020, the Lord said ‘Tell them you have nine years left,‘” Arayomi recounts. “I believe that after 2030 the world is going to change dramatically.”

Arayomi says he believes this will be more than just an agricultural famine, but rather a famine that will affect many facets of life.

“I’m talking about a famine of credit, a famine of banking, a famine of heating, lighting, electricity,” Arayomi says. “And the Lord spoke to me that what is considered money is going to go through another revolution…I believe we’re shifting into 2030 into another season of ‘what does money look like?’ And around the world that’s going to be different for different places.”

Arayomi believes the need to build a Goshen, a net of security, isn’t just a call for individuals, but for government leaders and nations as well.

“I believe that there are going to be nations that are going to talk about backing their currency by gold and silver as a way of transferring wealth back to their nations.”

Arayomi also says that in the future we many see governments partnering with prophets, and more people of the prophetic nature moving into strategic leadership positions. He believes that who we partner with in the next seven years will be critical for the kind of life we have when the famine comes. Just as Ruth chose to cling to Naomi and was blessed even after devastation in her life, the people we choose to align with now will make all the difference in the world.

“We’ve got to now pray into ‘Who is our Ruth? Who is our Naomi?’ The Ruths need the wisdom and the authority and the influence of the Naomis, and the Naomis need the youth and exuberance and vigor and vitality and fire of the Ruths,” Souza says.

Spiritual warfare is one of the areas that most Christians fall flat on, not knowing exactly how to pray and stand against the enemy at all times. In a recent livestream between Kap Chatfield and Richard Lorenzo Jr., the two discussed the tactics of spiritual warfare that all Christians need to understand to be strengthened in the Lord.

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

One of the points Chatfield makes is that Christians do not assume the authority that Jesus has given us to do the things He’s called us to do for His kingdom.

“If you showed up to work the same way that you show up to spiritual warfare, you’d get fired,” Chatfield says.

He uses the example of a boss giving an employee a task to do, and instead of the employee doing the task, they simply say that the supervisor does it so much better than they do. So, the employee insists it would be better for the boss to do the task themselves. In the same way, many Christians don’t walk in the power and the authority that Jesus has given them to do the things He’s asking them to do. Instead, they simply ask God to do the task Himself, not recognizing that we are supposed to be partnering with the Holy Spirit.

“God has given us the authority,” Lorenzo says. “He’s given us the weaponry.”

Lorenzo points out that God wants to use us to share the gospel and make His name known. However, the enemy also wants to use us as well. That’s why we have to know how to pray effectively against the the schemes of the devil.

We can do this in prayer because of the power of Jesus’ name. We have to remember that whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and that whatever we loose on earth is also loosed in heaven.

“You’re binding and loosing, binding means restricting and loosing means you’re releasing,” Lorenzo says.

Lorenzo points out how dreams and intercession connect. As we intercede more, as we increase our time of prayer, the Lord will give us more dreams so we know what kinds of things He needs us to intercede about. The more we connect with the Lord, the more He will share and trust us with.

In an interview with Charisma Media, author Blake Healy discussed what his daily life is like with his gift of seeing spiritual beings such as angels and demons, and what we should know about them.

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

One key point Healy notes is how we see angels described for different purposes in Scripture. Healy explains that the presence of angels is one way God reveals His kingdom.

“It’s this idea of God peeling back the veil and saying, ‘Here’s what my kingdom looks like. Here’s the way inner workings of how I’m operating,’ and that’s where you get these moments like Isaiah seeing this vision of the train of the Lord’s robe filling the temple and just continuing,” says Healy.

Not only do angels show us what the glory of God is like, but Healy also says that when we align with God’s will and follow His calling, our angels work alongside us to accomplish the things God has prepared for us.

“One thing I do see constantly is when people are doing the things that God has designed them to do, angels are constantly partnering with them doing that thing,” Healy says. “That can be traditional ministry things that we think of like leading worship or preaching or praying for folks or things of that nature, but it’s also in all the other…things that we’re called to in life like working and operating in our families, interacting with others…in our day-to-day lives.”

It is the creatures that Healy calls “personal angels” who partner with us in these things. These angels are what some may consider to be guardian angels, however, Healy says these angels have a mission and a focus on that one person for the duration of the individual’s life. While the question comes up about communicating with angels and whether or not Christians should or should not be commanding them, Healy says that we must keep in mind that Jesus is first and foremost our intermediary, and that angels are not to be treated as such.

“I do hesitate to do anything that would put an angel between me and the Lord,” Healy says.
