Are the cyberattacks against water utilities in the U.S. part of an earlier 2024 prophetic warning?

Earlier this week the Environmental Protection Agency issued a warning that action is needed right now in order to protect our nation’s drinking water systems.

NBC News first reported that America’s water systems are not fail-proof against cyberattacks from hacker groups based in Russia and Iran. NTD further added that China has been a part of these cyberattacks. The failure to make sure our water systems are safe include not changing passwords or ensuring that former employees no longer have access to these systems. These cyberattacks have already impacted states like Pennsylvania and Texas.

The attacks on the water system continue to increase and the EPA says that we are now at a “critical” stage to address this issue.

“EPA is issuing this alert because threats to, and attacks on, the nation’s water system have increased in frequency and severity to a point where additional action is critical,” the EPA said.

Cyberattacks on U.S. water systems are not only terrifying to think about, they point to greater threats still to come. It can be wondered if these attacks are part of a prophetic warning for 2024.

In December of last year, Charisma Media sat down with prophetic voice Joseph Z who felt in the spirit that cyberattacks would ramp up throughout 2024. He believed that “unparalleled and almost cataclysmic cyber attacks will occur, raising concerns about the vulnerability of digital infrastructures.”

Whether these attacks are part of a prophetic warning or not still remains to be determined. However, having clean running water makes all the difference for our nation’s safety and security.

In the Yunyang District of Hubei, central China, a skull dating back one million years was discovered in 2022. Now, as scientists have reconstructed the skull, they believe it could be part of a species known as the “Dragon man.”

As The Daily Mail reported, the skull shows signs that the individual was part homo sapien and part homo longi, which was dubbed as “Dragon man.”

Daily Star notes that the skull is 9 inches long and over 6 inches wide, making it similar in size to the modern-day human cranium.

“The reconstructed Yunxian 2 suggest that it is an early member of the Asian ‘Dragon Man’ lineage,” study authors from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory wrote.

The reconstruction of this skull comes after two other skulls of an unidentified human species was discovered in 1989 and 1990.

Because of the DNA mixture between homo sapien and homo longi, one could wonder if this species was part of the Nephilim. Previously, 10-foot-tall human remains were discovered in the state of Nevada, dating back about 3,000 years.

Nephilim expert L.A. Marzulli says that there are spiritual ties between the Middle East and the Nephilim. He says a spiritual stronghold from these “mighty men” is still in this area today.

While we don’t know whether or not this “Dragon Man” skull is one of the Nephilim or not, it is interesting to see how this skull could connect with future archaeological discoveries.

A member of the transgender community is looking to find acceptance in the Catholic Church.

Christian Matson, who was born as a female and later transitioned, believes that God has called transgender men and women into the church—and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

“You’ve got to deal with us because God has called us into this church,” Matson said in an interview with Religion News Service. “It’s not your church to kick us out of—this is God’s church, and God has called us and engrafted us into it.”

Matson became Catholic after transitioning and considers the Catholic church to be her family. Matson, whose real name is Nicole, is part of the diocese of Lexington, Kentucky. It has been Matson’s dream to be part of the “religious life.”

“I became Catholic after I transitioned because of the Catholic understanding—the sacramental understanding—of the body, of creation, of the desirability of the visible unity of the church and primarily because of the Eucharist,” Matson said.

As Religion News Service reported, Matson has frequently mailed letters to the Vatican, asking for the Catholic Church to openly accept transgender people. Matson believes it is possible for transgender individuals to be part of the faith community while “maintaining orthodoxy.”

As apostasy continues to ramp up in our generation, let us pray for those who are being deceived by these hidden agendas, that they may be opened to the truth of Christ and who He has called them to be as His sons and daughters, made in His image.

Kathryn Krick revealed her stunning testimony of how her ministry exploded into something much bigger and greater than she ever expected.

In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Krick shared how after experiencing the glory and power of God in her mid-twenties, the plans she had for her life were radically altered. Committing her life to God, Kathryn received a prophetic word that she was supposed to become an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was prophesied that through her, God would perform many mighty miracles throughout the nations.

Taking this prophecy and the belief that “revival is now,” Kathryn eventually embarked on starting Five-Fold Church. However, instead of the church rapidly growing, things started going backwards. On New Year’s Eve of 2020, Krick put together a compilation video of God moving through her tiny church and posted it on TikTok. The response led to an explosion of miracles and healings.

“The video went viral and it hit 1 million views. But the real miracle is that there were thousands of comments of people testifying of miracles they received while watching,” Krick says. “People saying ‘my pain left, my sickness left when I watched this.’”

For Krick, this was a moment of seeing her Jericho walls tumble down as God was bringing her ministry into fruition. People started coming from across the country to see what Krick’s ministry was all about, including a woman from Massachusetts who did the unthinkable.

“I started praying for her just like I would pray for people the past four years, every Sunday,” Krick says. “But this time, something different took place. As I began to pray over her, to declare over her, she fell back with the power of God. And then her body started convulsing. And I knew immediately these are demons manifesting.”

This was Krick’s first attempt at commanding a demon to flee. The video of the woman being set free went viral, leading people to flock to Krick’s church where deliverance became the norm and the building was overflowing with people.

During the waiting season of her ministry to grow when it seemed as though there was no way, Krick says she held on to the Word of God. The story of Joseph in particular is one she held onto, knowing that God would fulfill His promises to her even when she could not see Him working.

“If you’re going to be used powerfully by God, if you have this big calling on your life, that means it’s the bigger fire, the bigger the testing, the harder the things you’re going to have to go through because the Bible says it’s the fire that purifies us,” Krick says.

At the end of the day, Krick believes it is obedience and submission to God’s plan and His word that has made her ministry wildly successful.

We all go through hardships and spiritual ruts in life. However, learning how to come out of these tumultuous storms is the key to walking in spiritual authority.

In a recent message, Jenny Weaver gave a spiritual warning to those who may be feeling stuck in their current situation. She says if you’ve been in a transition or know it’s time to walk into the plans God has for you, then it is critical to make sure you don’t get trapped in the old.

“I’m talking to the people that know that God is calling them to something different,” Weaver says. “You’re stuck and you’re waiting for God to wake you up one day and ‘unstuck’ you…that’s pride.

“A lot of it is actually these thoughts and these things, these cliches that are rooted in fear,” she continues. “It’s not that you want God to move you. It’s that you actually don’t want to move because you’re comfortable.”

Weaver says regardless of warfare or surroundings believers must keep pursuing the purposes and plans God has for them. The fear and attacks about moving in a certain direction does not mean God doesn’t want you to go down the path He’s planned out for your life. Instead, Christians are called to keep moving, keep pursuing Jesus, with eyes fixed on Him at all times.

“Join every leader and every minister and believer, someone that’s solid in God, that’s really moving in the things of God. [You’re] going to have warfare. That’s normal,” Weaver says.

She also went on to say that the trials and tribulations we face cannot be used as an excuse to stay stagnant.

“You cannot use warfare, trials, tribulations and transitions as an excuse to stay stuck,” Weaver says.

Weaver warns about being stuck in grief as well. The only way to move forward with the Lord is to let go of the pains of the past, no matter what kind of mourning you’ve experienced.

“Some of you are dwelling and dwelling and dwelling on what happened. Can we put that to rest?” Weaver asks.

This message to let go of the past may be painful, but it holds great truth. Isaiah 43:19 says: “See, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not be aware of it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

God wants to birth new things through His people. However, we have to first let go of the old to make room for what He wants to do next.

Our understanding of good and evil is different than God’s. But can the angelic hosts themselves be deceived away from good and prompted toward evil?

In a sermon, Jonathan Cahn uncovered the mystery surrounding the inverted angel and how this entity connects to the struggle between good and evil.

Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today! Stay up to date with current issues, Holy Spirit news, Christian teachings, Charisma videos & more!

“The word ‘Satan’ means one who goes against, who opposes,” Cahn says. “He’s the one who turns against existence. He’s not an enemy; he’s the enemy.”

Satan was an angel before he rebelled against God and was thrown out of heaven. Now, he is the ultimate source of perversion, turning good things into wicked things. The name ‘Satan’ even refers back to the word, ‘diabolis.’ Cahn says this means he is one who sends out attacks at an opponent. And while the enemy exists to steal, kill and destroy, it is key to know that Satan does not act as an equal counter-partner to God. Instead, what Satan does is take the good and twist it around into something heinous.

“It’s an inversion of the good. It’s a parasitic version,” Cahn says. “So, it’s not God versus a god. It’s an angel created against God, the creation against the Creator, which comes from sin.”

The goal of Satan as the “inverted angel” is to turn God’s people away from what is pure and noble.

“God created life; the enemy seeks to destroy life. He seeks destruction,” Cahn says. “He’s the inverter to turn the creation away from God…he tries to invert, twist [and] turn it away from its purpose, then it’s going to destroy itself.”

This means it is Satan’s highest goal to twist God’s Word in hopes that it will bring destruction onto us as the ones created in God’s image.

Satan is the master of temptation and the twisting of something good for his own greedy plans. As Cahn points out, Satan went to the extreme in Luke 4 where he tempted Jesus. In this part of Scripture, we see Satan using the very Word of God, out of context and manipulated, to try to make Jesus fall.

“He’s trying to invert the Messiah, invert the Son of God, inverted God Himself,” Cahn says. “That would be God worshiping the creation, a twisted creation. That would be good worshiping evil. That’s what the enemy tries to do and by doing that he wars against life.”

For Christians, it is imperative to know that God is not only bigger than the enemy, but that He is the pathway to life. Using wisdom and discernment according to God’s precepts is vital for staying out of the snares of the enemy. Reading Scripture in its correct context and communing with the Lord are ways we can move away from the whispers of the enemy and toward the goodness of God.

Gen Z is embracing faith and spirituality at unprecedented rates in an era where atheism and secularism reign supreme.

In a new study done in the U.K. by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life it was found that “69% of respondents within the 18-24-year-old bracket believe their faith significantly impacts their lives.”

In a time that has become known for youth leaving the church, that is a massive number of people who believe God should at least be somewhat part of their lives.

The study also found that “72% of respondents within the 18-24-year-old bracket find faith helps them find purpose in life, in contrast to 47% of respondents aged 65 plus.”

The study further broke down how young adults of different faith backgrounds felt about sharing their beliefs with others. When it comes to Christian and Jewish GenZers, 38% would prefer not to discuss their faith values with others.

Here in America, Gen Z has become a bit of a divisive group, with some gravitating toward the LGBTQ movement while others are heading for revival.

Chris Worthington for example, is an up-and-coming Gen Z faith-based filmmaker with his new movie “Multiplied,” which features the evangelistic crusades held by Daniel Kolenda.

In an interview with Charisma Media, Worthington discussed how he wanted to explore the idea of what the future of evangelism would look like after the passing of both Billy Graham and Reinhard Bonnke.

“I thought to myself, ‘well, who better to interview about this than the person who’s succeeding Reinhard Bonnke?’” Worthington says.

From this decision to interview Bonnke’s successor, Daniel Kolenda, Worthington ended up on a global production, creating a film all about the heart of God for His people. It’s members of Gen Z like Worthington who are making a difference for the next generation to meet Christ.

As we’ve seen revival break out on Asbury and campuses across America throughout 2023 and 2024, this is the time to continue to pray and press in for the next generation that God is building up to be His hands and feet.

Has a prophecy about Iran from 2022 come to pass?

In the wake of the fatal helicopter crash of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, it can be wondered if God gave any prior warning about the shift of power that would eventually come to Iran.

Sharing a prophetic word from two years ago in May of 2022, Joseph Z unveiled what he believes the Lord had to say about Iran for this time and season.

“This I saw is Iran,” Z said. “We’re going to begin to see these guys take a step up in the news or in the narrative of what’s going on around the world. There is something that’s unwrapping with this nation and they have a part to play in many events and circumstances.”

While it was unclear at the moment how Iran would fit into the grand scheme of upcoming events, Z knew they would be heavily involved in some type of worldwide drama, potentially involving death.

“There’s something going to begin to hit the news about Iran. There’s serious events going on here. I believe there’s going to be loss of life. I believe there’s going to be collisions. I believe there’s going to be controversy…” Z prophesied.

The description of loss of life, collision and controversy can all directly relate to the passing of Raisi as his death was in the middle of a crash. Iran has also come up recently in wake of the Hamas attacks against Israel with their own strike against the Jewish nation.

Z believes the fulfillment of this prophecy about Iran was one of the major events that he prophesied would happen in the 40 days following the eclipse. To him, there’s no coincidence that this came to pass on Pentecost.

Z says there are lots of implications that come with this prophecy, including a spiritual flood.

“This represents the washing away of the assault on this generation,” Z said.

Forerunner Church celebrated its final church service on Pentecost Sunday before its closure.

Forerunner Church is a branch of the International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC) ministry. After multiplying scandals surrounding ministry founder, Mike Bickle, IHOPKC decided to shutter everything except for the 24-hour prayer room.

“This morning our heart is really to just express gratitude to the Lord and gratitude toward those that have served and been a part of this community over the years,” Pastor Isaac Bennett said.

Bennett said he believes the Lord has many more great things in store for Forerunner’s congregants and gave his deepest appreciation for those who have been part of this ministry.

“I appreciate your grace and your patience and your sensitivity during this time,” Bennett said. “There’s just no easy way to do what we’re going to do here…I just recognize that this has been a very painful season. It’s been marked by very painful events for different ones and for those in this community.”

Bennett said that while the Forerunner Church community is in a season of gratitude for all that the Lord has done, it is also a season of loss.

“There’s real loss that many are experiencing and that loss includes relationships. And I just want to acknowledge that for our spiritual family, and I’m so sorry for the pain and difficulty that you’ve been through,” Bennett pleaded.

As Forerunner Church’s doors have come to a close, Bennett desires this to be a time of healing, comfort and rest in Jesus for those who have been affected and wounded by the IHOPKC scandals. Bennett admits that the closing of the church is what is best for all people at this point in time.

Toward the end of the service, Bennett invited anyone who would like to be part of the future of IHOPKC to join him in what God has next for this ministry.

“We know that the Lord is releasing a new wine skin that He’s going to give strategic insight of how to construct that wine skin because there is a new wine. There is a new anointing that the Lord wants to release upon this people,” Bennett said.

This new gathering of dedicated IHOPKC members will begin on the 29 of May.

Joel Osteen celebrated his latest milestone at Lakewood Church this past Sunday.

Osteen’s latest message was the 1,000th sermon he’s preached since taking the position as Pastor of Lakewood Church in 1999 after his father’s death. This comes right after the 65th anniversary of the church.

In a special video message, Osteen admits that he tried at first to be like his father when he took the position as pastor. However, he says one day while reading in the book of Acts God helped direct him toward his distinct purpose.

“I tried to be like my dad,” Osteen says. “I was reading the Scripture six months later. It was in the book of Acts, and it says that ‘David fulfilled his purpose for his generation.’ And I felt like God said to me, ‘Joel, your dad fulfilled his purpose. Quit trying to be like him and just be who I’ve called you to be and fulfill your purpose.’”

After accepting that his calling was different than his father’s, Osteen decided to make his ministry based on encouragement. Today, the church sees thousands come on a weekly basis.

“I still get overwhelmed,” Osteen says. “It’s just the greatness of our God. I just keep using that phrase, ‘who would’ve ever thought that this would happen?’”

Osteen also credits the sovereignty of God as the reason why he has seen such miraculous growth in the church over the years.

“So much of this is the sovereignty of God,” Osteen says. “Some of it is just the sovereignty of God. You just step into blessings that God has preordained for you.”

He further describes how he asks the Lord frequently to search his heart and see if he is pursuing opportunities for the correct reasons.

“I try to keep my heart and my motives pure toward God,” Osteen says. “Walk humbly before God, keep Him first place in your life. You never go wrong by taking the high road.”

Getting into the main part of his message, Osteen focused on Deuteronomy 1:11 and the concept of “a thousand times more.”

Deuteronomy 1:11 reads: “May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times more numerous and bless you, just as He has promised you!”

From this Scripture, Osteen told the congregants that God can also do abundant things with their lives as well.

“I can tell you today on my 1,000th message that we serve a God who can make you a 1,000 times more than you are,” Osteen says.

Osteen used this milestone to encourage Lakewood to believe God for greater miracles and to seek the Lord above all else with a heart of humility.
