The federal immigration raid that rocked Minneapolis on Jan. 7 has now taken a sharp turn after the identification of the ICE agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This took place after she attempted what the Department of Homeland Security said was “to run a law enforcement officer over” with her vehicle.

According to Newsweek, the agent involved was Jonathan Ross, who was previously “involved in the June 17, 2025, apprehension of Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a convicted sex offender originally from Guatemala, in Bloomington, Minnesota.” The outlet noted that Ross had previously been injured during that arrest in Bloomington in which he was “dragged roughly 100 yards down the street before breaking free.”

Good’s death occurred during what the Department of Homeland Security described as a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative in southern Minneapolis.

The Guardian reported that federal agents “approached Good’s SUV during an immigration sweep.” Following this incident, protests erupted across Minneapolis.

As Charisma Media reported, both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have spoken out about the incident, with Vance calling it “an attack on federal law enforcement” and “an attack on the American people.”

There’s a reason human beings crave stories. We flock to movie theaters, binge series and retell stories across cultures and across centuries. They are echoes of something older, deeper and eternal.

The Bible itself explains why. Citing Ecclesiastes in a recent video, Kap Chatfield noted that Scripture says “eternity is written on the hearts of men.” Humanity, he argued, is pre-loaded to crave narrative meaning. “You and I are pre-programmed in our DNA to hunger for the narrative structure of the Bible,” he said.

To understand this cosmic storyline, he took listeners back to the very beginning. “Let’s jump into Genesis chapter 1,” he said. While God could have revealed Himself as Father, Shepherd, Judge or Savior, the first revelation He chooses is far more foundational: “God wants you to know that He is a creator.”

And because humanity is made in His image, that reality becomes imprinted on us. “If you’re created in the image of a creator, that means that you are also a creator,” he said. Humans are not merely consumers of reality; they are builders, stewards, problem-solvers—designed to imagine, innovate, cultivate and bring order. “You are called to bear the image of your God who is a creator.”

But that image-bearing assignment points to something even larger. “The Bible is about a kingdom and not a religion,” Chatfield said. Creation itself unfolds like the construction of a realm—land, sea, sky, creatures, light, governance, cycles, seed-bearing structures and the authority to steward it. “God is literally speaking a kingdom into existence,” he said. “He’s not speaking a religion into existence.”

Yet, he warned, modern Christianity often reduces the Bible to rules while ignoring the broader political and cosmic architecture behind it. “How have we reduced the story of the Bible just to being this rule book?” he asked. “A government, a kingdom is so much bigger than just the laws.”

This kingdom framework reframes faith itself. Using Elizabeth’s words to Mary in Luke 1:45—“You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said”—Chatfield challenged Christians to reject the trend of talking themselves out of God’s promises. “You are not foolish… you are blessed for believing that God would do what he plainly said,” he declared. And he prophesied that in the coming season, “the thing that you’ve been praying for… will come to pass.”

Tracing the biblical arc, he showed that the story begins with a kingdom in Genesis, manifests through Jesus who proclaims, “The kingdom of God is at hand,” and concludes in Revelation with Christ revealed as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Even Jesus’ own parables reflect that monarchic framework: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son” (Matt. 22:2). From beginning to end, the story is royal.

And then comes the twist that scandalizes small views of Christianity: if Christ is the “King of kings,” then believers must be the lowercase “kings.” “You are a royal priest,” he insisted, quoting 1 Peter 2:9. “You are a co-heir… You are a co-laborer… You are a child of God.” Humanity was never created for subjugation but for stewardship. “You were tasked to govern creation,” he said, pointing to Genesis 1:28, where God commands mankind to “have dominion” over the earth.

Seen through this lens, the biblical narrative is no longer the tale of religious spectators waiting for rescue. It is the unfolding of a kingdom in conflict—one in which the rightful heirs have forgotten who they are. The gospel, then, is not only about forgiveness but about restoration, coronation and cosmic order. The King has come, the Kingdom has been announced, and the Bride is being prepared.

“You are in the middle of this story,” Chatfield stated. “You were not created to be a slave… you were created to steward, to reign, and to partner with God.”

And one day soon, the King will finish what He began.

When most Americans think of Greenland, they picture an icy, remote rock at the top of the world—far removed from the battles of politics, geopolitics, or prophecy. But political commentator Glenn Beck says we may be missing the point entirely. According to him, Greenland is becoming the quiet centerpiece of a much bigger story, and President Donald Trump knows exactly what he’s doing.

The discussion, surprisingly, begins not with ice or politics, but with the power of the spoken word.

“He never says we are a failing empire,” Beck said. “This week… I feel like we are on the verge of being a renewed nation with a hundred-year story… as amazing as the last hundred years.” One of the key elements Trump keeps verbalizing into reality, Beck says, is Greenland. “We need Greenland. Greenland should be a protectorate.”

But why Greenland? For Beck, the answer is straightforward and unsettling: “It is strategically placed in such a place that it is essential for us if you are preparing for war.” The Arctic is the emerging global battleground—militarily, economically and technologically. Greenland’s massive reserves of rare earth minerals are critical for batteries, energy systems, weapons platforms and AI technology. “If we bought it like we did Alaska… It’s a very good deal for the United States,” he added.

Beck believes Trump is preparing for multiple forms of conflict: “He is preparing us for a couple of things—a digital war… a currency war… and I think a hot war.” He points to Trump’s pressure on the military industrial complex, his energy dominance agenda, and new alliances with nations like Argentina and Venezuela.

In a separate report by the New York Post, a map shows distances from Nuuk, Greenland, to other nations whose resources and presence could affect the United States. While Copenhagen, Denmark, which currently claims the land, is 4,000 miles from Greenland, Washington is half that distance at 2,000 miles.

Yet this isn’t about empire building. “I don’t think he is carving out an empire,” Beck insisted. “I think he is carving out the western world” for survival against a rising axis of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea—what Beck referred to as “CRINK.”

For Beck, the Greenland question carries a warning: history teaches that when empires wobble, conflicts ignite. And right now, “for the first time in human history, every nation is collapsing for the same reasons at the same time.”

Whether prophetic or geopolitical, his conclusion is chillingly clear: Greenland isn’t a joke. It’s preparation.

And preparation implies something is coming.

The Department of Homeland Security is reporting that the woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent had been “stalking and impeding” agents throughout the day.

In a report by Fox News, it was discussed how the woman, Renee Nicole Good, was given multiple instructions to get out of her car to stop the obstruction of law enforcement, but she would not stop before attempting to ram an agent with her vehicle.

According to DHS, the event is being classified as “domestic terrorism.” In the video of the incident, Good is seen putting her car in reverse after agents asked her to “get out of the car.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem noted that Good was attempting to “weaponize her vehicle” and “attempted to run a law enforcement officer over.”

As the AP noted, other videos of the shooting showed a woman sitting close to the car saying, “That’s my wife, I don’t know what to do!”

In a statement to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote:

I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

As Fox also reported, Republicans on Capitol Hill are asking President Trump to use the Insurrection Act against Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Walz for threatening to use the National Guard as a response to the incident. Walz previously said, “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning to prepare the Minnesota National Guard.”

Vice President JD Vance has also spoken on the matter during a press conference where he stated, “This was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people.”

Is Washington preparing for something big?

The Daily Mail reported that President Trump’s plane, used for crisis response, made its way to Washington, D.C., this week. The plane, often called the “Doomsday Plane,” is a Boeing E-4B used during times of peril. As the outlet described it is “built to survive a nuclear attack while coordinating military action.”

Sounds scary, right?

As the Daily Mail noted, flight-tracking sites recorded the plane leaving Omaha, Nebraska, before it landed at Camp Springs near D.C.

While the flight’s purpose is unknown, it could be due to anything from a training exercise to a routine schedule. The article further pointed out that the flight of this mysterious plane came right after Nicolás Maduro’s capture.

For believers, events like these are more than just headlines—they are signals to pay attention. Jesus warned that in the last days there would be “wars and rumors of wars” and a world marked by upheaval, geopolitical shaking and rapid shifts that would leave nations unsettled.

The Bible doesn’t tell us to panic, but it does tell us to discern the times. If Washington is preparing for “something big,” then the Church should be preparing as well. Not out of fear, but to be ready for when Jesus finally returns.

Is New York City—long considered hostile to Christianity—about to become a catalyst for global revival?

Evangelist Mario Murillo says yes, and the timing, he insists, is not random.

During a recent episode of It’s Supernatural!, host Sid Roth opened with a question that has troubled many observers: “Why the rapid increase of anti-Semitism worldwide? Why now?” Roth believes the answer is not merely political, but prophetic. According to him, the world is entering “the greatest harvest field in history,” and yet “few Christians know the mystery law of evangelism.”

Roth declared that 2026 will be remembered as “the year of harvest,” even calling it “the most wonderful year for the kingdom of God.” But he wanted to know what Murillo—whom he described as “one of the most trusted voices…when it comes to prophecy”—was hearing from the Lord.

Murillo didn’t hesitate: “Massive salvations among the young. Massive.” He pointed to early signs already emerging, saying, “We haven’t seen anything yet… It’s about to explode.” Murillo believes the United States is poised for a second Jesus Movement and revealed that his team is investing heavily into reaching Gen Z. “Jesus said to us in 2026 there will be another Jesus movement in the United States and you have to be ready to bring in the harvest,” he said.

What may surprise many is where Murillo believes the awakening will strike first: areas typically associated with secularism, crime or hostility toward the gospel—regions many Christians have already written off.

“God is going to flip the script…in the blue states that supposedly hate God,” Murillo prophesied. “You will see it in Dearborn, Michigan. You will see it in the West Coast. You will see it in New York City…in that region around the five boroughs.” He added, “There’s going to be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in 2026, and the media will try to ignore it, but the young will be the ones that will run it.”

When Roth asked whether such a transformation could really happen in places like New York—where hostility toward Christianity is often assumed—Murillo reminded viewers that sudden conversions have always been part of biblical history. He pointed to the transformation of Saul of Tarsus, arguing: “How do we even assess the impact of that? So how can we look at God and say that’s not possible in the modern era?”

Murillo calls the coming wave of young believers the “Lazarus generation”—youth who have been spiritually dead, yet suddenly awakened. Their conversions, he insists, “are not explainable.” Many, he says, will become bold witnesses who confront cultural sins such as abortion with unshakable conviction: “There’s going to be… the most vociferous, loud condemnation of abortion from the young that you have ever seen.”

Both Roth and Murillo agreed that this emerging movement will not be passive or quiet. It will be supernatural, evangelistic, Spirit-filled—and it will shock the cities least expected.

“Evil is intensifying,” Murillo said, “but so is the clarity of the gospel.”

A recent prophetic message by Gabe Poirot is sounding the alarm for believers who are discerning the times and seasons for 2026.

In the video, Poirot explains that while he was praying and seeking the Lord about the year 2026, he was repeatedly drawn to Scripture—specifically John 20:24–26, the moment when the resurrected Jesus appears to the disciples eight days after Thomas first doubted His resurrection. “Eight days later, the disciples were together again… Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them,” the passage reads.

Poirot says the Lord impressed upon him that this verse carried prophetic weight for 2026—not as a prediction of a specific date for Christ’s return, but as a revelation that His presence would be “among” His people in a profound and tangible way. “This will be the year that I will be among them,” Poirot claims the Lord spoke to him.

Poirot repeatedly clarifies that no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return. However, he emphasizes that 2026 could be a year marked by divine convergence—an intensified awareness and manifestation of God’s presence. “It could be the year He returns,” he says. “But even if He doesn’t, it may be the year where you finally encounter His presence.”

To reinforce this call to spiritual readiness, Poirot cites John 6:26–27, where Jesus warns against pursuing temporary, earthly provision while neglecting eternal life. He cautions that distraction may cause many to miss what God is doing in this season. “A lot of people are distracted… and you might just miss the very presence of Christ that wants to encounter you,” he says.

Poirot also explores the significance of the number 26, which in Hebrew tradition is associated with the sacred name of God. Poirot notes that the numerical value tied to God’s revealed name adds to the sense that 2026 may be prophetically aligned with divine revelation, covenant and presence. “It’s not just a symbol,” he says. “It represents His very personhood.”

Drawing parallels to Exodus 3, where God reveals Himself to Moses at the burning bush, Poirot suggests that 2026 could be a year of restoration—one in which God “comes down” to bring His people back to Himself. “What if this could be the year of restoration?” he asks.

No matter what specific events come our way in 2026, Poirot gives a clear exhortation: seek Him now. “Blessed are those who believe without seeing.” For those with ears to hear, the call is unmistakable—prepare, awaken and respond to what God may be doing in this pivotal hour.

Independent journalist Nick Shirley is drawing national attention after appearing on The Shawn Ryan Show, where he detailed his on-the-ground investigation into alleged fraud involving Minnesota daycare centers receiving taxpayer funding.

In the wide-ranging interview, Shirley explained how what began as routine reporting escalated into a controversial exposé that has drawn federal scrutiny, political backlash and online firestorms.

According to Shirley, he traveled to Minnesota and visited numerous daycare facilities that were listed as operational and receiving substantial public funds for childcare and social services.

“When you physically go there, there’s nobody inside,” Shirley told Ryan. He claimed that several of the facilities appeared vacant, with no children present, no active staff and no visible evidence of daily operations. “They can’t even give you a brochure to enroll a child,” he said, arguing that the situation raised serious red flags.

Shirley told Ryan that in just one day of filming, his team documented what he believes could amount to tens of millions of dollars in fraudulent claims. He stressed that fraud itself was not a new discovery, but that its scale had never been brought to the public’s attention in such a visible way. “Nobody had actually brought it to a national level where people could see it with their own eyes,” he said.

During the interview, Shirley claimed that after his videos went viral, attention shifted from investigating the daycare operators to investigating him. “Now it’s a lot more dangerous. I have to have 24/7 security with me because pirates are after me essentially,” he told Ryan.

The controversy intensified after the footage was amplified online by major accounts, including Elon Musk, which propelled the story into a broader political and cultural debate.

For Christians however, the discussion raises deeper questions about truth, justice and discernment in the digital age. Scripture calls Christians to walk in the light (John 3:21) and to pursue justice carefully and without partiality.

As Christians step into 2026, many are sensing an undeniable urgency from heaven. This is not a year to hesitate, spectate or sit idle. It is, as prophetic voice Jenny Weaver declared, “the year to pick up those assignments and go forward with them—put our hand to the plow and not look back.”

But with divine assignment comes intensified opposition.

During a recent message, Weaver revealed that the Lord impressed upon her a sobering phrase in prayer: “Assignment killers.” She explained that while God is releasing clarity and momentum to His people, the enemy is simultaneously deploying strategies designed to stop them from finishing what God has started.

“When people begin to pick up the assignment, all of hell begins to bombard them with full force to make them drop it,” she said. “Sometimes the resistance isn’t because you’re in rebellion—it’s because you’re right on target.”

Three Stages of the Enemy’s Strategy

Weaver anchored her message in John 10:10, where Jesus outlines the enemy’s approach: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.”

According to Weaver, this verse is not merely encouragement—it is a battle plan.

“The enemy doesn’t start by destroying your assignment,” she explained. “First, he steals the desire for it.”

She pointed to the Greek word klepto, meaning a secret, deceptive theft—often unnoticed until passion, joy and prayer life have quietly drained away. “People wake up one day and realize everything is gone,” she said. “Their fire is out.”

If that tactic succeeds, the enemy escalates to the second stage: kill, an intentional wounding meant to end the assignment altogether. Weaver noted that betrayal often accompanies this phase. “It’s not strangers that wound you the deepest—it’s the ones closest to you,” she said.

The final stage, she warned, is destroy—to ruin something beyond repair and convince believers that God’s call on their life is permanently lost. “He wants you to believe it’s too late, you’re too old or you’ve gone too far,” Weaver said. “That’s a lie from the pit of hell.”

Joseph, Lazarus and You

Weaver illustrated these stages through biblical examples, including Joseph, whose coat—symbolizing identity, favor and authority—was stripped away before he was sold into slavery. “While they thought the dream was dead, God was developing him,” she said.

Likewise, she pointed to Lazarus, whose sickness, death and burial appeared to signal the end—until Jesus arrived. “God never approved that obituary,” Weaver declared. “Your assignment isn’t dead—it’s in development.”

A Call to Discernment and Intimacy With God

Throughout the message, Weaver emphasized the need for discernment in 2026. “Not everything you’re going through is witchcraft. Resistance is a part of the process,” she said. “My sheep know My voice. You have to know God for yourself.”

She urged believers to stop relying solely on pastors or prophets and instead cultivate a deep, personal relationship with the Lord. “When you know God that well, you recognize His pressure, and you don’t run from it—you yield to it.”

Weaver’s charge to the body of Christ was unmistakable: the assignment is still alive. No betrayal, delay or resistance can cancel what God has called.

“You didn’t call me. You didn’t seal me. You can’t cancel me,” Weaver proclaimed. “I’m living for an audience of One—and His name is Jesus.”

For believers stepping into 2026, the word is clear: stand firm, discern wisely and don’t let the assignment killers win.

Is something dark coming to Canada?

In a prophetic warning, Amanda Grace declared that North America is in for a dramatic shift.

“In January, says the Lord, a very large, windy turn shall be entered in the United States, Canada and Mexico,” Grace prophesied.

In particular, Grace pointed to Canada being judged for its previous actions.

To order Amanda Grace’s new book, Brace for Impact, visit Amazon.com.

“The leadership of Canada is about to be hit with a woe for the shedding of innocent blood, says the Lord,” she said. “A woe that will cause an outcry in the nation. A woe that will expose the dark deals made with principalities and the nations they gatekeep for, says the Lord.”

Grace then pointed out the specific actions that have taken place in Canada that are bringing them this destruction: The selling of innocent lives.

“Selling the lives of their own people for security,” Grace prophesies. “That deal and its inner workings shall be exposed this coming year, says the Lord.”

Could this point back to Canada’s notorious assisted suicide and quiet organ harvesting programs? We will have to wait and see how the events unfold.

However, Canada alone is not the only nation that will experience justice. Grace noted that, “Trump has even addressed now the president of Mexico, putting her on notice as well after Maduro.”

As Grace’s warning suggests, the question facing Canada is not merely political but moral—whether hidden decisions made in the name of security, progress or compassion will withstand the light of exposure.

If these prophetic words bear fruit, the coming season may reveal truths long kept in the shadows, forcing a national reckoning and an outcry that cannot be silenced. For now, the warning stands: justice, once set in motion, does not stop at borders, and what has been done in secret will ultimately be brought into the open.
