How One Revivalist’s Astonishing Testimony is Transforming California

In an interview with Charisma Media, Ross Johnston shared his powerful testimony of how he’s seeing the masses saved for the glory of God. However, it isn’t just the current movement that Johnston is a part of that makes his story so impactful and profound. It’s his story before the story.

“Three years ago, [it] started as a group of just young bucks, young kids, just desiring God to move in a time that was the most crisis and tension that we’ve ever experienced in our own life,” Johnston says. “We’re showing up at beaches, we’re showing up at streets, we’re showing up wherever we could set a sound system up, that’s where we’re at.”

The evangelistic initiative has seen massive amounts of people come to know Christ and be set free from the things that previously kept them in bondage.

“What started with a couple hundred people per gathering in a few years here has turned into thousands of people showing up, believing for God to yes, touch California, yes touch America, but ultimately to touch the nations of the earth,” Johnston says.

Seeking an outpouring of revival from the Holy Spirit is far different than anything Johnston ever would have thought or expected as a life goal. His upbringing couldn’t have been further from the Lord than most people in America.

“I was born by artificial insemination. I grew up in a lesbian household with two moms,” Johnston says. “I [had] never been to church, never heard a worship song, never heard a sermon, never heard of a Charisma News, right? Like I had zero grid for God.”

Johnston says he recently asked his mother why she decided to have him. He says after recognizing that her time to have children was running out while being in a lesbian relationship, she decided this was the option she had to take in order to become a mother. Despite the circumstances surrounding Johnston’s conception and upbringing, God’s Holy Spirit still drew him in to have a real relationship with Him.

“I was 15 years old, and my friend and her grandma would always go to church. And for some reason, I still don’t know the reason to this day, they decided to invite me one weekend,” Johnston says. “I just felt something internally begin to happen. Like, I felt hope and destiny, and it felt like there was something greater and beyond myself.”

It became Johnston’s heart cry to be more than just a good person on the surface. He yearned to have a relationship with God, responding to the message of salvation. A few years later, Johnston walked out of intimacy with God because of the blessings he hadn’t yet received. These years proved to be troublesome and empty. However, after this season of pain, Johnston came back to Christ with a burning hunger and passion to see the world changed for the glory of God. In fact, the movement that Johnston is part of was even confirmed through a prophetic dream.

“There was actually a dream that came to us from a friend who’s a prophet,” Johnston says. “And in this dream, he said he saw us standing on the beach, standing on a beach in California, and he said Jesus appeared to him in the He [Jesus] takes him down to the water, and he says, ‘Do you hear the sound?'”

The dream then talked about victory coming that would be along the Pacific Coast, which is what led Johnston and the group to go to Huntington Beach where the revival has been rich and real.

John Ramirez: The Greatest War to Ever be Exposed

What is the greatest war that the devil wages against the people of God?

In a recent video, evangelist John Ramirez exposes one of the greatest tactics of the enemy against the people of God: the trickery of the mind.

Inside of his new book, “Exposing the Devil’s Playbook,” which releases today, Oct. 1, Ramirez details these tactics of the enemy through the story of Exodus.

To order John Ramirez’s “Exposing the Devil’s Playbook,” visit .

“In Exodus 7 and 8 when Moses showed up on the scene with his brother Aaron and he faced Pharaoh and the magicians,” Ramirez begins. “It’s Moses, it’s Aaron and it’s God showing up in the courts of Pharaoh, the witches and the devil. Right there, they show up face-to-face, a battle. And this is what we got through as believers. We’ve got God on our side, we’ve got the Holy Spirit, we’ve got King Jesus on our side. We show up to the battlefield, we show up to the courtyard to fight the devil.”

It was during this epic meeting where Moses asked for Pharaoh to let the Jewish people go out of captivity. During this time, the magicians tried to do the same signs and miracles that Moses did to prove that they had just as much power as God. However, they always fell up short.

“He [Moses] threw the staff down, the staff turned into a serpent, the magicians do the same time. Now, Moses touched the water, it turns into blood, the magicians do the same thing,” Ramirez explains.

“Now, as a Christian you’re saying, ‘What’s going on? I thought God was all powerful.’ Now the devil’s playing with your mind. The devil’s trying to incarcerate your thoughts, bring unbelief [and] false realities in your thinking,” he continues.

This kind of thinking brings us into doubt, making us believe that God isn’t as powerful the other forces in our world. This kind of doubting of God’s goodness and trustworthiness is what we see in Eve when Satan first planted the ‘Did God really say?’ question in her mind. It’s the battle of the mind which we constantly find ourselves in.

“I’m sure Moses and Aaron [were] doubting. ‘Did we hear God? Did God tell us to show up to this battle?'” Ramirez says.

‘You’re wondering, ‘Is God hearing my prayer? Is God as powerful?'” he continues. “That’s when doubt and fear and unbelief grip the believer, and we lose the battle because we don’t wait for the last moment of the battlefield, the last moment of the battle in the battlefield.”

Did Isaiah Saldivar Uncover America’s Most Blasphemous Sermon Ever?

In a new video, Isaiah Saldivar reacted to what just may be one of the worst messages to ever come out from behind a pulpit.

To pre-order your copy of Isaiah Saldivar’s new book, “How to Cast Out Demons,” visit .

A pastor at a Presbyterian church gave a message to her congregants that if Jesus was walking the earth right now, she believes He would help with the pro-choice cause.

“If Jesus were here today, He would be a clinic escort,” the pastor says. “Distracting women from the hatred of the protestors.

“I expect He would have a stern word for self-righteous legislators who use abortion as a political issue rather than showing compassion for the people seeking abortions,” she continues. “If Jesus were giving His sermon today, He might also have said ‘blessed are those who end pregnancies.'”

If you thought this twisting of the Sermon on the Mount couldn’t get any worse, it does.

“I have been pregnant four times. I have had two abortions and I have two amazing children. Each of my reproductive decisions to have children and not to have children were sacred decisions because they reflect the moral responsibility of reproductive power. That is part of our inheritance as human are those who end pregnancies for they will be known for their lovingkindness,” the pastor concludes.

“I’ve honestly never seen something this demonic behind the pulpit,” Saldivar says.

This message shows us how off-course both our culture and American Christianity have become. Saldivar points out the demonic nature of this teaching and how it is leading people astray.

“That is not a church; that is a demonic temple,” Saldivar says. “We’ve seen it with United Methodist Churches that are ordaining drag don’t know how you get down the road of being this deceived and demonized. Clearly, there’s spiritual forces at work. Clearly there’s a demonic agenda. Clearly there’s a demonic spirit motivating this lady.”

He also points out that she was so bold speaking up for abortion, and it is time for true Christians to be bold enough to speak out against it.

“The Bible commands us to be a voice for the voiceless, a voice for the unborn, and we need to talk about this stuff; we need to expose this stuff. It’s wicked, it’s demonic [ and] it’s happening all around us,” Saldivar says.

L.A. Marzulli: Was a Supernatural Species Uncovered?

In a video by L.A. Marzulli, Marzulli read about the account of some strange, supernatural remains that were discovered during a museum renovation.

To pre-order L.A. Marzulli’s new book, “Rungs of Disclosure,” visit .

“During renovations in 2017, the Little Museum of Nykobing Falster made an extraordinary discovery,” the email to Marzulli detailed. “A concealed chamber filled with old crates documents and sketches revealing the forgotten legacy of the house’s former owner, Cornelius, S.C. Rodder.”

During a trip to Italy, Rodder found unusual writings and artifacts which led him to crypto-naturalist Thomas Merrylin from London, which guided him down a path toward the occult, through which he acquired “cryptozoological artifacts that now resides in the museum,” including “Vampires, fairies, baby dragons, [and] werewolves.”

So, is this believed “werewolf mummy” real or fake?

“I do not believe it for a second,” Marzulli says. “I believe it’s a construct, it’s fake, that’s my opinion.”

Marzulli compares this experience to when he was almost fooled by a fairy construct that even showed up on an x-ray as an animal species.

While Marzulli doesn’t buy that this particular specimen is the mummy of a real werewolf, he contends that they are real. Previously, Marzulli has spoken with people from Navajo tribes who have described the darkness of shamanism, and the reality of what it was like to encounter a werewolf.

“[Pastor Curtis] told me that when he was a teenager, he and two or three of his friends were walking up this area on the they were walking up one of these hills they heard this blood curdling scream,” says Marzulli. “When they got to the top of the hill, coming at them basically was had the head of a wolf, the body of a man, claws of a wolf, the legs of a wolf from the knee down.”

These encounters prove to us that while there will always be fakes regarding the supernatural, it does not downplay or take away from the reality of the supernatural. After all, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and powers. As we navigate life, we must rely on the Holy Spirit and His wisdom for all our experiences.

Perry Stone: This Year’s Most Important Message

In a special message with Karen Wheaton, Perry Stone discussed the spiritual battle currently raging in our nation today, and how God is desiring to use His church.

“We don’t need to be moved by the natural things that we’re seeing happening right now because the things that’s happening in America sort of disguises itself as a political war or a cultural this is a spiritual war,” Wheaton says.

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

Pondering about the spiritual state of our nation and the slaughtering of innocent blood through abortion, Wheaton asked God if judgment for our nation was inevitable.

“He answered me with three words that I heard; He said, ‘Who knows? Perhaps,'” says Wheaton.

God then led Wheaton to look at the Scripture in Joel 2, where verse 14 reads, “Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve, sending you a blessing instead of this curse.”

To order Jonathan Cahn’s #1 new book, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” visit .

She then points out that this Scripture lends us to believe that judgment and blessing for our nation is still in the balance, dependent upon how God’s people respond.

Stone says that we often see people less inclined to care about who’s in charge, believing it doesn’t matter exactly who is running in the nation. However, this is not how we as God’s people are to act.

“What we have to remember is when Daniel was in Babylonian captivity, he was praying for Israel. He was repenting to God on behalf of the ministry of the priest,” Stone says. “He was saying, ‘Our judges have passed laws that’s contrary to You [God], our priests have not been faithful to You.'”

Wheaton notes that the phrasing of “Who knows? Perhaps,” is also found in Jonah in the New Living Translation as well.

“Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change His mind and hold back His fierce anger from destroying us,” (v. 9).

“This is a call from God for us today, for our nation, for the people of God to hear the call of God,” Wheaton says.

Stone says we are seeing a culture completely absorbed with wanting to rid of the Judeo-Christian values America was founded on. This means we can no longer sit back and watch the world crumble around us. Instead, he urges Christians to stand up for what is right.

“This is a generation that has a promise hanging on it of the outpouring of the Satan says if I can switch them out and stop the seed, they’ll never have that prophecy fulfilled,” Stone says.

“It doesn’t matter what the devil plans. When God said He’s going to do it, when the time comes He’s going to do it. So, you’re going to have choose what side you’re on. Are you going to follow the system of the world and the people of the world and follow Baal, or are you going to say ‘Yahweh is God’ and pray the fire back down on the altars in the church?” he continues.

Amanda Grace’s Prophetic Warning for October

In a recent livestream, Amanda Grace gave a prophetic word she believes the Lord placed on her heart for what is yet to happen in the coming days.

One of the major things Grace discussed in her prophetic warning was the coming of a “red flood” and its relation to Israel.

“…And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, ‘What they plot around the time of October, phase two of the red – be sober-minded and vigilant for those within your cabinets have given information to proxies, a multi-city attack has been plotted in other countries,” Grace prophesies.

“The fork-tongued dragon is out to hunt, says the Lord,” she continues. “Now, the fork-tongued dragon, Marduk, who the Babylonians worshipped was known as the forked-tongue and smoke, Jerusalem, says the Lord. Jerusalem. Pray My children for Jerusalem. That is the honeypot and the purse prize, and they plot greater around October Awe.”

Not only does Amanda Grace give a warning to pray for Jerusalem against this dragon, but she also gives spiritual insight for America as well.

“Nations have cast lots for the destruction of America and its leadership. And these nations have sweetened the pot now for the wicked to go one more time around the mountain,” Grace says.

Grace then mentions the issue of the occult coming in to influence our nation.

“They have brought the occult and Santeria and witchcraft into states at play in order to attempt to spiritually shift such, says the Lord,” Grace prophesies. “I, the Lord, am nullifying that attempt and it shall be a dark storm and condemnation that rushes back upon them. For I am God; there is no other.”

Katie Souza, Alan DiDio: How God is Setting Captives Free

In an interview between Alan DiDio and Katie Souza, Katie Souza talked about her testimony and how God took her from prison life to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

It was an unexpected job route in media that Katie Souza first thought would fill her the best.

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

“When I was in my late teens, like 17,18, I was the youngest disc jockey in Hawaii. So I started my TV career in radio and I worked at 98 Rock in Honolulu, Hawaii, and KKUA, and these different radio stations,” Souza says. She soon found herself moving to California and working in radio, and eventually, TV, working for CBS working the teleprompter. Desiring to be taught and mentored on how to run an array of equipment, Souza found herself working camera, audio, tape and switch, evening winning awards. However, her big dreams of television stardom faded.

To order Katie Souza’s new book, “The Serpent and the Soul,” visit .

“I was already smoking pot, doing mushrooms, doing coke and all that, and it just got worse and worse and worse. Pretty soon, I had to leave CBS because I was a mess,” Souza said.

From here, she found herself going down a deeper spiral, selling drugs in Hollywood and even appearing on her TV show job hyped up on substances. She ended up fleeing from California to New Mexico, fearful of the police. From here, she found herself with her own Meth lab and doing collections for mobsters.

“That racked me up a lot of charges. [I] ended up being arrested 12 times by the local [police], and then finally got busted in a lab by the Feds,” she continued.

So, how did God take one woman running in the opposite direction of Him and use her for His glory?

During the intense pressure of finding out if she would be going to prison for 20 years or more, Souza says she experienced an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

“I was so pressurized inside myself that all of a sudden, bam! I started praying in tongues and didn’t even know what it was. I just laid there and started praying in tongues,” says Souza. “I got baptized by the Holy Spirit in the middle of me thinking I was going to lose my mind.”

Souza says she spent her time in prison reading Scripture after she found a Bible in the bottom of a dirty clothes barrel. The Word of God pierced her heart and soon she was telling everyone around her about Jesus. After this, people started getting baptized and miracles were abounding all around her.

Spending lots of time in lockdown, Souza learned about the power of prayer as she saw God do miracles around her and for her. The Lord even gave her the specific date she would be released from prison when no one else thought it would be possible for her to get out that early. However, through the winning of her motion, Souza’s release date was recalculated, and she got out on Nov. 21, five years into her sentence.

“He knows how to set a captive free,” DiDio says. “He specializes in getting captives out of prison.”

Prophetic Warning About Diddy and the Cultural Demon

In the middle of the arrest frenzy of musical artist Sean “Diddy” Combs, prophetic voice Joseph Z is sharing a word he received from the Lord back in May of 2023 about the celebrity and his influence on culture.

“I’m seeing all of this stuff transpire. You’re seeing this picture with these guys and this cultural demon is raising its head,” Z says.

Using his white board with the words “culture demon” written on it, Z bracketed the word, saying that this word is related to a poisoning. He also points out there was something “off” about Diddy.

Back in March of this year, Z prophesied further in relation to this situation.

“The Spirit of the Lord is also bringing great strength breaking shackles. Let me tell you something, this P. Diddy narrative – false flag. It’s real, what’s going on, but it’s a false flag,” Z prophesied.

“I remember that broadcast. It was a very intense time, so I just started broadcasting because sometimes when I get the Word of the Lord and I’m praying I do my best to serve the body of Christ, to bring you real time prophetic journalism, things that will help you,” Z says. “You know in part, you prophesy in part, but I do believe they’re setting it up as a false flag narrative. I believe that’s the whole story here. It’s a false flag that they’re trying to build to bring distraction.”

So, why would this be used as a distraction?

“All these roads lead back to the Epstein narrative,” Z said. “What we got to do is we got the ‘s a time where the rain will fall on the just and the unjust alike. And as the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike, you got to be ready to outrun your enemies in the rain…”

Z says that just as the Johnny Deep and Amber Heard trial was used to distract people in the middle of a midterm political cycle, this case with Diddy is also being used in a similar way.

“That was right there in the middle of a major midterm political cycle. That was right in the middle of many things that were happening around the world where these wicked elites were trying to get their way and do whatever they wanted, and here again we’re seeing this cycle where we’re picking our leaders, we’re going into it, and suddenly something else just comes out of the blue,” Z said.

Z points out that just as the darkness of heinous acts like Epstein Island were revealed, what is done in the dark cannot stay in the dark. Instead, the light of Christ shines and exposes the most wicked of things.

How Does Rosh Hashanah Connect to the Rapture?

In a video by Pastor Jimmy Evans, he looks at the unique timing and circumstances surrounding this year’s Rosh Hashanah holiday and why it may have more spiritual significance to it than we see at first glance.

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

Evans points out how the April 8 eclipse happened during the celebration of the Jewish new year, and during Rosh Hashanah the “ring of fire” eclipse will occur.

“Jesus said there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars,” Evans says. “God speaks to us through signs. The first time Jesus came remember, the Magi were led to Jesus by the had been significant events, the blood moons, all kinds of events, that have been happening that are announcing something. They’re announcing the coming of Jesus.”

Evans states that nothing else in the prophetic realm is necessary at the moment for the Rapture to occur. He makes the point that life will continue going about as “business as usual” until the Lord snatches away His people from the destruction of this world.

“He’s saying, ‘When I come back, it’s going to be like the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all,'” Evans says.

Evans points out that the seven feasts of Israel are essentially dress rehearsals, prophetic signs of what is to come.

“They were all dress rehearsals graphically demonstrating the future in advance,” says Evans. “We absolutely know the feasts of Israel were prophetic.”

To order Jonathan Cahn’s #1 new book, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” visit .

“The next feast is the Feast of Trumpets, which is coming up in October,” he continues. “The Feast of Trumpets I believe represents the Thessalonians chapter 4, 1 Corinthians chapter 15, they all talk about [how] Jesus is going to come with the trumpet blast.”

While none of us know the exact date or hour when our Lord will return, we can take a look at the signs all around us and know with great confidence that He will be back as we get closer each and every day to that moment.

Earliest Christian Church Mosaic Makes Public Debut

Archaeology just keeps proving the existence of God.

The Megiddo Mosaic is currently being showcased at the Museum of the Bible. The mosaic, however, isn’t just a random artifact from the past, but rather it’s one of the oldest archaeological pieces of history commemorating Christianity.

According to Fox News, the mosaic’s debut at the Museum of the Bible is the very first time it’s been on public display since it was discovered, and this ancient tile floor is documented as coming from the earliest Christian church.

“The Megiddo Mosaic was unearthed 20 years ago during a pre-construction archaeological dig in the Megiddo prison in Israel while planning for a new wing in the prison was underway,” Fox writes.

In a YouTube video by the Museum of the Bible, viewers can see this ancient tile floor as the Museum calls it “One of the most groundbreaking archaeological discoveries since the dead sea scrolls.”

The Megiddo Mosaic is also a key artifact detailing the role of women in the early church.

“The mosaic underscores the crucial role of women in the early church by the fact that 5 women are mentioned in it by name,” Bobby Duke from the Museum of the Bible said in a press release to Fox. “Truly, the mosaic presents a wealth of new data for church historians, like the Dead Sea Scrolls did for Bible scholars.”
