Influencer Reveals to Pastor Stories From a Diddy Party
Nik Keswani, known on social media to viewers as “Big Nik,” became a Christian a few years ago, and ever since then he has been on fire for the Lord. He’s made it his goal to use his platform to share the gospel with the world around him. Now, he’s sharing his story of having attended a Sean “Diddy” Combs party prior to his salvation in Christ.
Speaking with Apostle Richard Lorenzo Jr., Keswani detailed his experience of having gone to a “Diddy party.”
“Diddy has multiple different parties,” Keswani says. “The party that I went to there was a separation. There’s an upstairs and there’s a downstairs. The upstairs is guarded by security guards.”
Keswani says that there were three stories to the building, and the party he attended was one of the typical Hollywood parties. However, he says that these lighthearted parties are used as part of a grooming process to get people to eventually go to the darker, more sinister ones. There, he saw Hollywood A-listers like Snoop Dogg.
Rumors of Combs having sexual relations with men at his parties continued to circulate and appeared to seem plausible during this time. Keswani says a lot of this is due to the widespread issue of homosexuality in the Los Angeles area. These acts, Keswani points out, open the door for horrific things to attack the victim, allowing society to decline even further into sin.
“This is why Sodom and Gomorrah got burned down because it was the homosexuality,” Keswani says. “That was the gateway into pedophilia, which is the same thing we’re seeing today…we’re embracing ancient, demonic spirits from Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Lorenzo warns viewers that the depth of the perversion trying to take over the world is real, and Satan wants to take down anyone he can.
“There’s a war going on,” Lorenzo says. “It’s about light versus darkness. Not about red versus blue, not about Latino versus white, or black versus white; it’s about light versus darkness.”

Was This 2018 Prophecy About Pam Bondi Fulfilled?
In a 2018 word, Shamp discussed what he heard from the Lord about a woman who would rise from the state of Florida to “bond” the nation back together again.
“On Nov. 10, 2018, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, ‘watch what I will do in the coming days in the state of Florida,'” Shamp recounts.
“A woman will rise from this place to bond the nation back together again. She will take her place, and will fight to make America great,” Shamp continues. “She will be strong and courageous to fight the battles. Watch her closely for she carries the mantle of justice and righteousness upon her shoulders.”
Shamp’s prophecy likened the woman to Joseph serving in Pharaoh’s courts, with the same type of anointing to “interpret the American dream.”
“She will not bend or even break, but she will bond, mend and restore. She will fight for America and bind up the wounds. Where there has been victimization in this nation, she will bring victory. In the days ahead, she will stand and be strong. She will fight. She will win. She will be a part of making America great again,” Shamp concludes.

Jonathan Cahn: The 400-Year Prophetic Thanksgiving Message
In a Thanksgiving sermon, Jonathan Cahn shared a prophetic message that links America’s holiday of gratitude with the spiritual realm.
“Thanksgiving comes from the Bible,” Cahn says. “First, the giving of thanks to God is the Bible. Second, God told the children of Israel in the autumn you will have a harvest celebration, you’ll give thanks to God for the harvest.”
Cahn points out that Thanksgiving is much like the American rendition of the Feast of Tabernacles. Just as when the Israelites had a turning away from Egypt during the 400th year, so too America has experienced a dramatic shift with 400 years of Thanksgiving.
“…if we take it from when the Pilgrims first came, it begins in 2020,” says Cahn. “And certainly 2020 was a year of major change in America.”
He points out that the founding of America is quite different than other nations because it wasn’t based on a certain territory or ethnicity people group or due to a specific power, but rather because it came into existence of faith in the Word of God.
“This is the foundation of America,” says Cahn. “Which explains what is unique about America. Even when America started getting more secular, still the idea of America being a force for good around the world, that all comes from this.”
“America from its foundations was connected to Israel,” he continues. “It’s founders saw America as another Israel for the New World. It was founded after the pattern of ancient Israel.”
Like the Pilgrims, the Puritans also headed for America with high hopes to live and worship the Lord freely. John Winthrop, a Puritan leader, gave a message that ended up being prophetic for the future of the United States.
Just as Moses was the leader of the Exodus out of Egypt, Winthrop was leading the exodus for religious freedom into the land of America. Winthrop also spoke of the blessings that follow the nation who places the Lord above all else.
“The blessings that are in Deuteronomy 28, which Winthrop based is admonition on, would come true in many large part[s] for America,” says Cahn. “Blessings of its economy. Blessings of your cities. Blessings of your farmlands. Blessings of your military. Blessing among your standing among the nations; you shall be the head and not the tail.”
Winthrop not only gave a prophetic message of blessing, but one of warning for any nation that decides to turn away from the Lord.
“If we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and caused Him to withdraw His present help from us,” Cahn quotes Winthrop, “Then, we shall be made a proverb…throughout the world.”

Cindy Jacobs Discusses Why Prophetic Accountability is Critical for the Church
In an interview with Heather Schott and Les Cody from Mercy Culture, Cindy Jacobs explained why prophetic accountability is necessary for those who operate in the spirit.
“Yes, prophets do get it wrong,” Jacobs says. “Our feet need to be held to the fire when we get it wrong, and we need to be humble about it. But teachers get it wrong. Pastors get it wrong. Evangelists get it wrong.”
One of the key points that Jacobs makes about having accountability is that it all must be done in love. She points out how people are more willing to hear correction from someone who loves them than they are to hear it from someone they believe does not care about them.
Jacobs describes the need for those in the prophetic to operate with a true fear of the Lord. When something is an impression from the Lord, she suggests calling it as such, being mindful and in reverence of the Lord instead of carelessly throwing words as a ‘Thus saith the Lord.’ Jacobs says there has to be a difference in understanding the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet.
“I know when I click into the office [there’s a] difference,” Jacobs says. “Heavier authority. There’s a weightiness upon it. It’s very supernatural.”
“I can pretty much tell you when I am standing in that office. And I can say ‘This is what God is saying’ in the fear of the Lord,” she continues.
Jacobs says she believes we take prophecy too lightly, not fearing the Lord the way He deserves. One way of correction includes repentance and correction when a completely false prophecy is given. For those who falsely prophesied, it is key that they listen to other leaders who have seen the fault in their message.
“What you do is you find people that they will listen to, if there’s any in your circle or in the church to try to speak to them, first of all. Then, if they won’t heed that, then you broaden it. You begin to let it be known,” says Jacobs. “There are times where I have just literally said to a person or a group, ‘that is erroneous. I do not judge that to be the Word of the Lord.'”

L.A. Marzulli Reveals The Mountainside Werewolf Encounter
In a recent video, L.A. Marzulli shared a former worship leader’s testimony of having an encounter with a werewolf while driving through Jellico Mountain on I-75.
“As I slowed down around a curve, there was a large creature standing in a ditch a few feet off the shoulder of the highway,” the worship leader’s letter read. “Even though the ditch was a couple of feet deep, he looked like his head was a little higher than mine, and I was driving a large type minivan.”
It was the creature’s clothing and torso that caught the driver completely off-guard.
“He wore only what appeared to be blue jeans that were stretched tight,” the letter continues. “His bare upper body was completely covered with what seemed to be the fur of a German Shepherd color, thickness and length. He was built like a large, professional bodybuilder. Everything about him looked like a super-sized human male with the exception of the fur and his werewolf head.”
The person described the creature as having a snout and pointed ears, just like an animal. However, they say that the face was eerily human, almost costume-like.
“I really pressed the brake pedal so as to really get a good look. His eyes seemed to look directly into mine with his head turning to follow my gaze. It was very surreal,” the letter read.
While this seem hard for some to believe, the truth of the spiritual realm merging into the physical world is much more real than we ever could imagine.
Marzulli points out that shapeshifting is a common practice for shamans as they tap into the demonic forces of the second heaven.
“The second heaven is where the dragon, Satan…inhabits,” he says. “In Revelation there’s going to be what I’ve come to call the great eviction. The great eviction is where Michael and his angels fight with the devil and his angels and that age-old serpent is kicked out along with his cohorts.”

Is It Possible to Restore Prophetic Integrity?
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Dr. Michael Brown discussed prophetic integrity and how we can use discernment when prophecies are inaccurate or don’t come to pass.
Looking specifically at the 2020 election and the multiple prophecies that were given that Donald Trump would win a second term, to now seeing him re-elected again four years later, Dr. Brown provides insight on how we can navigate these prophetic words.
One of the first things Brown points out is that there were some who were explicit in their prophecies, saying Trump would have eight consecutive years in the Oval Office.
“There were those who guaranteed Biden would not be inaugurated,” says Brown. “I watched them prophesy by name. I even reached out to them to try to interact without success. I watched them say after the results were given in favor of Joe Biden, I watched them say, ‘No, it’s going to be reversed…’ they were saying the elections will be overturned that Trump really won. They were prophesying that Trump truly was the president. He was the spiritual president and the earthly president.”
Brown says that along with these very determined beliefs that Trump would win, some continued to prophesy that a coup would happen and Biden’s time as the president would end.
“So, in point of fact, when they said that he will win, they meant in 2020. When the election results were announced against him, they said the elections were stolen,” Brown says.
Another point that Brown makes is the possibility that some could have seen in the spirit the outcome for 2024, but this goes to show why prophets are not to give dates and times of when words will be fulfilled.
“First Peter one tells us the Old Testament prophets, when God spoke to them about the sufferings of Jesus and the glory that would follow, God told them, ‘No, no, no; this is not for you. This is for a future generation.’ Any of us that have heard the Lord prophetically know that timing is very difficult, so unless you have a very specific word from God with times and dates, often something starts and then stops and then picks up later on, or you think it’s going to be now, but it’s five years down the line. So that’s why they could have said, ‘We really believe that Trump is going to be a two-term president, whether it’s now or in four years…’ that would have been one thing. They didn’t say that,” he says.
Brown also says that there are those who have humbly repented for missing the mark when they earnestly felt they had heard from the Lord. This should act as a reminder for the body of Christ not to immediately disqualify someone from the prophetic because they made a mistake.
“We’ve all made mistakes. If you minister long enough, you will. We’re not out to kill each other and throw each other under then bus,” says Brown. “We don’t have the view that some have that you stone them and disqualify them for life.”

Isaiah Saldivar: This Is Why Megachurch Pastors Fail
Over the past year, we have unfortunately seen a lot of megachurch pastors appear to fall into sin. However, what is the spiritual principle behind this? Why does it seem as though we keep leaders fall?
In a recent livestream, Isaiah Saldivar discussed why we continue to see this heartbreaking phenomenon of megachurch leaders falling.
The first thing that Saldivar mentions is how there was a time when pastors wanted nothing more than to be friends with the world, craving the attention of being known for speaking on secular podcasts, marrying and spending time with celebrities and gaining attention from people outside of the faith. However, this couldn’t be further from what the people of God are called to be like.
“The world shouldn’t love us. They should be hating us because we speak against their works,” says Saldivar. “The spirit of the Antichrist is at work in the sons of disobedience.”
There is also a true dislike of deliverance by many pastors, as Saldivar points out, because they are afraid to deal with their issues. However, Christians and leaders especially, are called to live humbly. We are not supposed to live with pride and arrogance but instead have the humility to reach out when we believe we need help.
“A bunch of these pastors that have have fallen, they fell because they didn’t get deliverance and they couldn’t fight. They weren’t strong enough to resist the demons. They fought the demons for so long. They tried, and they just gave in,” Saldivar says.
With so many Christians believing it is impossible for them to be demonized, an arrogance and an intolerance for deliverance has abounded in the church because people don’t want to believe that they could possibly need something cast out of them.

Ex-Warlock’s Fascinating Testimony: ‘I Was Being Guided by Spirits’
Richard Lorenzo Jr. has a powerful YouTube platform where he shares the light of the gospel to the world, and runs the successful Remnant Revival Outreach Center in Sanford, Florida where salvation, miracles, signs and wonders are abounding all the time. However, Lorenzo’s story is nothing short of a testament to God’s mighty hand of grace and mercy constantly at work.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Lorenzo shared how he grew up in a nominally Catholic family, but the deep and powerful message of the gospel was never truly expressed. Through high school, he found himself playing basketball, taking and dealing drugs, drinking, fornicating, partying, scamming, and doing whatever he pleased. During college, he was barely getting by to maintain an acceptable GPA, and eventually he moved from Florida to Brooklyn, New York. When this happened, his life continued to spiral downwards, becoming suicidal and having sleep paralysis, but he kept up the partying lifestyle he’d been deep into. He went through with joining the military, but this didn’t truly change the type of life he’d been living.
It was then that he began to become interested in spirituality. However, what he found himself messing with was far from God. Asking his girlfriend about her family’s operation in the spirit realm, Lorenzo connected with her warlock cousin in Haiti.
“I saw things I’d never seen in my life,” Lorenzo says. “I saw a warlock for the first time do a ritual using alcohol, cigars, putting on outfits, dancing, doing ritualistic worship and summoning a demon into his body. Then the demon [spoke] through him in a different accent.”
At this point, the devil was trying everything he could to pull Lorenzo deep into the darkness. The warlock told him certain details about his life to build his faith in the wrong direction. He had to come back the next day with a goat to for the warlock to perform a demonic ceremony, which included Lorenzo signing a contract. Now living in L.A. with his girlfriend who was expecting their first child, Lorenzo found himself getting deeper into Santeria, crystals, the New Age and other evil practices.
“I’m going to Indian mediums, I’m going to psychics, I’m going to all types of spiritualists,” says Lorenzo. “I’m getting evil eyes and crystals. I’m starting to burn sage. I’m starting to do things to protect my home, and salt and corners and all these things I’m learning.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this before. I was being guided by spirits,” he says of his journey in witchcraft.
Lorenzo started following spirit guides and was being discipled into witchcraft. He had an altar, bought thousands of dollars worth of crystals, spent time learning about shamanism, how to balance chakras and other demonic spiritual practices. However, it was one question to the warlock he was discipling with that was telling of what was happening behind the scenes in the spiritual realm.
“I just remember having this feeling to say ‘what about Jesus?'” Lorenzo says.
In all of his time exploring a multitude of religions and different practices, Lorenzo noticed that Jesus was always mentioned in some capacity whereas other religious figures were not mentioned again beyond their immediate context.
“He put his head down. He wouldn’t look up, and he started getting nervous,” he continues. “He kept saying, ‘oh no, no. He was just a man.'”
After this, the Holy Spirit started guiding Christians to come into Lorenzo’s life. After moving back to the state of Florida, the Lord sent a Christian man into Lorenzo’s life who persistently kept reaching out to him and inviting him church. He also started going to a barber who played Christian rap in the shop. Soon, he also had another woman who was praying for him, discipling him in the ways of Christ instead of the world. Before he knew it, he was purchasing a Bible and planned to sit down and read it. It was during his first time picking up Scripture when the Lord placed a pastor in his path to guide him along with the reading. This man also became important to Lorenzo once he was finally saved.
“He just starts pouring into me,” Lorenzo says. “He was just so loving, he got my number and he would always check up on me…Once a week he would bring boxes of pizza and just sit down and go over the Word with me.”
Finally, after avoiding the first man who kept inviting him to church, Lorenzo finally decided he would go to church with him. When he went, he saw the shock of his lifetime.
“This is what hit me as I walk in,” says Lorenzo. “I look to the right, see the stage, and I see the worship leader. It’s Paul, the barber.”
It started to become more evident that perhaps the Lord was working on constructing something in Richard Lorenzo Jr.’s life.
“They start play ‘Reckless Love’,” Lorenzo recounts, “For the first time I felt the presence of God hit me. I didn’t surrender to God, but I felt the the presence of God hit me.”
The peace of God was also greatly different than anything he had experience from other spiritual experiences. Suddenly while reading Romans, it clicked for Lorenzo that what he had been searching for was only found in Jesus.
“The minute I caught that revelation in my heart…the presence of God, an atmosphere came into the room. It was a light,” he says.

Rabbi Jason Sobel: The Nephilim Stronghold in Gaza
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Messianic rabbi Jason Sobel discussed how the modern-day issues in Gaza just may be intertwined with the Nephilim.
“There’s always a spiritual root to these things,” says Sobel. “You know there’s this terrible tragedy that happened on Oct. 7 of this surprise attack by Hamas…Hamas is actually found in Genesis chapter 6, the story of Noah. And it says God destroyed the earth because there was ‘Hamas’ there, there was this violence. But the question is: what was the root of this violence, and what is the background?”
Sobel discusses how the book of Joshua details that Gaza was given to the tribe of Judah, with an important detail being that Joshua “cut off the Anakim from the hill country.”
“Joshua put a ban on [the Anakim] with their cities,” Sobel says. “There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel except in Gaza, Goth and Ashdod. These are all towns of the Philistines. And what’s interesting about this is that the modern-day Palestinians take their name from the biblical Philistines.”
What is perhaps the most critical detail regarding the Anakim is that they were not killed. Not only were they not killed, but their name derives from “Anak,” which means “neck.” As Sobel also points out, when the Israelites came out of the desert and the 12 spies went into the land, they saw that the men of the area were of a “great size.“
“It says the Nephilim…the sons of Anak are from the Nephilim,” Sobel says. “Joshua tells us when they went up into the land they destroyed most of the Anakim except in the area of Gaza, which is the area of the Philistines.”
This means the descendants of the Nephilim were not defeated, allowing for a territorial spirit to continue to roam in the area today.
“The point is that this was a stronghold. It was a place controlled by the Philistines that Israel always struggled to be able to control,” he says. “The territorial spirit that was there was never conquered, was never fully removed, that was still in existence even to this day.”
Jonathan Cahn, a spiritual leader who paved the way for Sobel’s faith, has also previously pointed out that it is an evil spirit against the people of Israel behind the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.
