Pope Leo’s legacy is shaping up to be marked by several controversies and surprises. The latest event is undoubtedly one no one saw coming.

In a video shared by The Washington Post, it was noted that Rev. Guilherme Peixoto had to rework his DJ set for a Slovakian youth festival after realizing who should be the opening act: Pope Leo.

In the video for the youth festival, Leo stated: “May the blessing of Almighty God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, come upon you.”

“What we leave on the dance floor is amazing, and we need to bring this to the world,” Peixoto said of the event.

After Leo’s message, strobe lights, electronic music and fog filled the area.

“First of all, I love electronic music,” Peixoto said. “And I’ve always listened, even without thinking that I could be a DJ.”

As The Washington Post noted, the priest began mixing music “for church karaoke fundraisers.” Since then, he now plays at concerts, festivals and clubs.

“I’m really feeling that God is present, and that God is on the dance floor with us. And I saw people hugging each other, some almost crying. This energy makes you change the world.”

Pope Leo’s legacy continues to unfold in surprising ways. The question now is simply what will happen next in the Catholic Church.

Tucker Carlson continues to stand tall on his conspiracy theories that are dividing people across America.

In two separate videos from Dec. 10, media commentator Tucker Carlson pushed wild theories regarding both Israel and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In regard to Israel, Carlson looked at the statement that Israel is America’s closest ally, challenging that long-held belief.

“But there’s no reason that should stay the way it is forever. What if we decided to change it up? What if we decided to get a new closest ally in the world? How about Qatar? What if Qatar was our closest ally?” he conjectured. “If you were looking purely through the lens of what’s good for the United States, an America first perspective, the most obvious, of course, would be Russia. Russia. Why? Because it’s the biggest country in the world. It’s the biggest land mass in the world.”

Carlson then picked apart the biblical backing and understanding of why Christians are to support Israel as God’s chosen people. While he is correct in understanding that Jesus is the way to salvation, he misses the bigger picture here: Jesus came first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. Even the apostle Paul makes it clear that God has not forsaken the Jewish people. It is still the hope and the promise that the Jewish people will come to Jesus as their Messiah.

Our support for Israel isn’t just about acquiring territory; it’s about keeping the biblical command to bless the people of God and to be blessed in return, as God spoke to Abraham. Scripture is clear: Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse it will be cursed. God is not finished with Israel, so why should we be?

His next off-the-rails conspiracy regarded the death of Charlie Kirk, with Carlson stating that he questions the FBI in this case.

“…we should not necessarily trust the FBI,” Carlson says. “And by the way, why would we? It’s not an attack on, you know, the political leadership of it…”

Comparing the case to January 6, he then urged people by stating, “We have a duty to remain skeptical and we should not be ashamed of our skepticism.”

As conspiracies about Kirk’s death continue to ring out across the internet, these words do not encourage audiences to believe the evidence presented regarding the case, which is not only damaging to the morale of our society but also to Charlie’s family, which includes a grieving widow and two children who are now without their father. This proposed skepticism aligns with claims like Candace Owens’, which have only caused further division rather than unity for a nation in mourning.

At a time when voices like Carlson’s carry immense influence, believers’ response must rise above outrage and division. Rather than allowing these narratives to harden hearts or deepen fractures, this is a call for prayer—that God would open Carlson’s eyes to truth on every side, soften his heart and align his words with wisdom, compassion and biblical clarity.

For more than 20 years, minister Katie Souza has been operating in what she calls “basic-level healing precept 101”—healing the soul. She emphasizes that proper health and prosperity flow from a healed soul. In an interview with Taylor Welch on The Deep End, she explained that healing from trauma is one of the core things that must be addressed to see the miraculous happen.

The Trauma Connection

Souza notes that trauma and sin can deeply wound the soul, referencing Isaiah 30:26. She points to the story of Job as a biblical example. “He went through massive trauma, and throughout the whole book, he says over and over again: ‘My soul is vexed. My soul is mourning. My soul is bitter. My soul is poured out,’” she says.

According to Souza, trauma is not just emotional or mental—it is physical. “Your cells, muscles, and organs hold trauma. If someone hasn’t been healed of that trauma, their body will cling to a metal implant and won’t let it go,” she explains.

Miracles and Metal

Souza has witnessed countless physical miracles, including the disappearance of metal implants. She recounts the story of a woman with a metal plate in her neck:

“She touched her neck and realized it was gone. She fell to the ground, rolling and screaming in her three-piece suit because she knew the plate had disappeared.”

In another instance, a man with a metal pin in his leg experienced healing only after Souza addressed the underlying trauma: the betrayal of a friend and the recent death of his pet. “That was the deep trauma. I prayed for the grief and trauma to be healed—and then the metal shrank the rest of the way,” she says.

Souza emphasized that most of the miracles she has seen are connected to healing from trauma. “I’d say 95% of the miracles I’ve seen—thousands of them—require dealing with trauma first.”

The Balance of Repentance and Grace

Souza was also candid about her own journey of healing from a troubled past. She describes a season of intense personal repentance:

“I spent about 40 days in my bedroom saying, ‘You’re a worm. You’re terrible.’ Deep repentance—crying, gut-wrenching repentance.”

She recalls a vision during this time of being in a washing machine where God showed her when it was time to move on: “You’re getting washed, but now you’re drowning. Move on into grace. Move on into victory. Move on into My righteousness.”

This experience helped her understand the balance between humility, repentance and embracing grace. “Grace overshadows the law. When sin increases, grace super-abounds over it,” she explains.

Healing the soul is not just a spiritual principle—it is the gateway to miracles, freedom and true transformation. By confronting pain, embracing grace and trusting the Holy Spirit, it is possible for anyone to experience the miraculous, restoration, hope and walk into the fullness of God’s Kingdom on earth.

In a sobering message from a recent livestream, Rabbi Kirt Schneider addressed the spiritual dangers of artificial intelligence, smartphones and the pervasive allure of technology in modern life. Drawing on Scripture, he connected the rise of AI to biblical warnings about knowledge, separation from God and the end-times.

The Allure of Knowledge and the Apple Connection

Schneider began by drawing attention to what many might see as a curious coincidence: the Apple logo and the price of Apple’s first computer. “It’s the logo of Apple computer, the apple with the bite taken out of it… and even more mysterious… they priced their first computer at $666,” he said. He noted that although Apple’s co-founders denied any symbolic connection, the imagery echoes the biblical tree of knowledge of good and evil in Genesis.

He argued that the pursuit of knowledge has always been a spiritual crossroads. “At the very beginning, it was the thrust for knowledge… that brought separation from God,” Schneider said. Today, he warns, AI represents a modern manifestation of that same desire.

The Modern Eden: Smartphones and Isolation

Using Genesis 2–3, Schneider highlighted how Adam and Eve’s desire for knowledge led to alienation from God. “They were now separated from God… no longer aware of the spirit. Now they were conscious of their flesh,” he said.

Schneider draws a parallel to today: smartphones and AI provide instant access to all knowledge, yet they can isolate humanity from authentic life. “Look how families no longer talk to each other at the dinner table… we’ve been brought into a dark world, a world that’s void of authenticity and life, void of connection,” he said.

Even while acknowledging AI’s benefits, such as diagnosing health issues, writing assistance and problem-solving, Schneider warns that it cannot replace spiritual fulfillment. “Are we happier? Are we more connected to God and each other?” he asked.

AI as the Antichrist Spirit

Schneider also uncovered the prophetic implications of AI. He described AI as an “antichrist spirit,” a false light that “appears as life, but in fact is an unreality, a dark void and deception.” He pointed to Revelation 13 and the infamous number 666 as symbolic of humanity’s ultimate pursuit of self-sufficiency, apart from God. “AI at its very core is the product of numbers… the mark of the beast is a number… 666… it is man in his utmost ability,” Schneider explained.

He warned that AI’s emotional allure of providing conversational responses, affirmations and companionship is a deceptive trap. “If you find yourself leaning into that in your heart… You are in danger,” he said.

Resist the Pull of Technology

Schneider offered guidance to avoid spiritual entrapment: create both physical and emotional distance from AI and technology. “We have to discipline ourselves to create space… where we’re not holding our smartphone,” he said. He emphasized that technology should remain a tool, not a substitute for God.

Ultimately, Rabbi Schneider’s message is a wake-up call. As AI continues to grow in sophistication, he reminds us that knowledge alone is not wisdom, and technological convenience cannot replace a relationship with God.

The choice is ours: will we allow AI to become a tool for good under God’s authority, or will we be drawn into the pit of deception?

The world is about to receive the update many have been waiting for.

According to CNN, the United Kingdom’s king is expected to deliver his remarks regarding his cancer journey on Friday evening.

In a statement by Buckingham Palace, the Royal Family announced that King Charles III will “stress the importance of cancer screening programs in enabling early diagnosis and will reflect on his own recovery journey.”

This announcement comes after Charles was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. Since this tremendous blow to the British Royal Family, the prophetic community has spoken into this situation with great warning.

Previously, prophetic voice, Joseph Z noted that Charles’ rise to the throne after Queen Elizabeth’s death would serve mainly as a transition period before Prince William would fill the role, while Charlie Shamp gave a warning to Charles that God had seen him “sell” his “birthright.”

At the end of 2023, Mike Signorelli also pointed to many people of influence receiving terminal illness diagnoses. Chris Reed also prophetically saw: “Twenty-six will come, and I saw in cold weather the death of King Charles. And King William will lean into Christianity and push back on Islamic immigration.”

Now, we will wait in anticipation to see what Charles has to say about his cancer diagnosis.

As earthquakes shake nations, many are revisiting the prophetic words of the late Kim Clement, who repeatedly warned that physical tremors would accompany a far deeper spiritual shaking. The recent 7.6-magnitude earthquake in Japan and global seismic unrest have drawn fresh attention to several of Clement’s most striking prophecies—words that now read like headlines.

Clement’s Warning About Japan

Before the devastating 2011 Fukushima disaster, Clement released a startling prophecy that echoes again today as the same region experiences renewed upheaval.

He delivered the statement with unusual heaviness, describing a catastrophic event that would ripple far beyond Japan’s borders. Now, as Japan faces another historic quake, many are asking whether Clement foresaw a cycle of seismic events marking a larger divine narrative.

Previously in 2006, Clement declared:

Your prayers will save many lives regarding this earthquake in Japan. This speaks of this incredible integration, and this one fusion of Japan, and China. A lion has roared, the Lord has spoken and who can but prophesy. Just for a moment between Japan and China and Korea God is going to do something big.

A Prophetic Dream: A Great Shaking in the Northwest

Not only did Clement’s warnings center on Japan, but God also spoke to him about America, particularly in the Northwest, and about great shakings that were going to happen there. In a prophetic vision dated April 1, 2005, he spoke of a shaking that would affect Washington and Oregon.

I had a dream two weeks ago. And it was a clear dream about the state of Washington and Oregon. It was a very clear dream of an earthquake. It was so strong and powerful it could be seen in both states. When I woke up, I had been present with Barry and with Shawn and I knew that this had to do with a spiritual thing. It was not just an ordinary dream.

He emphasized that the coming shaking was not merely physical but also spiritual.

There is coming one of the greatest shakings in the Northwest, even though you have had shakings before. It’s going to take two states to deal with a powerful spiritual force. But this shaking is not something in the natural, but it will be felt in the natural as well, but it is something that will start in the spiritual realm.

Clement connected these shakings to the realignment of spiritual and religious systems.

Tell the people that there is going to be a shaking, that there is going to be an earthquake that is going to bring about or destroy some of the buildings. I’m not talking about natural buildings now, but buildings that don’t need to be upright, buildings that need to be brought down. I’m talking about a religious system that has had so much control.

He then detailed a message of hope and restoration.

You must tell them the things that can be shaken will be shaken, and that which cannot be shaken will stand firm. And you’re going to be surprised what is going to be shaken before because I’ve got some good news for you. God is raising up a brand new group of people with a brand new resurrection power.

Clement even foresaw miraculous manifestations in the lives of God’s people.

The miraculous will begin to take place without the slightest effort. There will be water coming from the rock without you having to strike it. There will be eternity being released in your business’s homes and in every aspect of your life. The promises you’ve got, I will begin and set you as an example to the rest of the nation because your economy is going to rise and rise and rise and rise and rise and it will be a spectacular thing and a supernatural thing.

He specifically identified Portland, Oregon, as a center for spiritual awakening.

I want you to understand this, Oregon, and I want you to understand this, Portland, that the prophets are coming and that they’re being raised up from the soil and from this place. The prophets are coming. The prophets are coming in America. You must embrace them. There will be those that hate them. But I say to you the prophets that are coming to Larry King to Oprah Winfrey to Regis, it’s going to go all over the secular world. This is the good news, says the Lord.

From earthquakes to revival, Clement’s prophecies reveal a pattern in which God uses moments of disruption to initiate transformation, calling His people to stand on what is eternal and unshakeable.

As the 6-7 trend continues to sweep across the nation, popular fast-food chain In-N-Out Burger has addressed the craze taking over America’s children.

According to News Nation, In-N-Out stated that the numbers 6-7 will no longer be used on order numbers, which has disappointed many children and teens.

As Penn Live noted, teens anxiously awaited the call at an In-N-Out Burger, cheering and shouting when it came. Since then, the business has stopped using the popular order number combination.

The number combination went viral from the song “Doot Doot” by music artist Skrilla. While the trend may seem like nothing more than kids being kids, it is far from that. Skrilla has openly admitted that he practices Santeria and occult sacrifices. 6-7 even connects back to the demonic gods he openly worships.

In-N-Out, on the other hand, has openly shared its founding Christian heritage with the world. CEO Lynsi Snyder previously expressed her faith in Jesus and what the company means to her, telling PragerU, “God knew that when I lost my family members that started this company … you can’t replace them. But God did know that I was gaining a giant family.”

Snyder has since moved the company’s headquarters from California to Tennessee, citing the state’s challenges for raising a family. In-N-Out has also been ranked the happiest place to work among major restaurant chains.

Time magazine’s Person of the Year has a startling connection to the future of humanity.

Time magazine named “The architects of AI” its 2025 Person of the Year. One of those people whom the organization recognized was Jensen Huang. Huang is the CEO of Nvidia, who Time describes as “one of the foremost leaders of the artificial intelligence revolution.”

This news comes as Nvidia became the first ever $5 trillion company, with Huang telling Time, “This is the single most impactful technology of our time.”

Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg was also recognized by Time for creating a chatbot that is integrated into WhatsApp and Instagram. At the same time, OpenAI was credited with starting the “boom” of the artificial intelligence revolution.

In a social media post, Time wrote:

2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back. Whatever the question was, AI was the answer.

Person of the Year is a powerful way to focus the world’s attention on the people that shape our lives. And this year, no one had a greater impact than the individuals who imagined, designed, and built AI. Humanity will determine AI’s path forward, and each of us can play a role in determining AI’s structure and future. Our work has trained it and sustained it, and now we find ourselves moving through a world increasingly defined by it.

For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the possible, the Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year.

This award, given not just to one individual but also with the recognition that we have entered a new phase of humanity, is a chilling reminder of where we are headed. We are seeing signs of the end times accelerating all around us, much of it fueled by AI. Now, it is clear that AI is playing a greater role in our society than we ever could have imagined.

As Time names the Architects of AI its 2025 Person of the Year, we are confronted with a sobering truth: the rise of artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility—it is reshaping our world before our eyes. This moment is a wake-up call for believers to discern the times, to pray for wisdom, and to understand the spiritual implications of a technology that is influencing every aspect of human life.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, remained in hiding, while her daughter accepted the award on her behalf.

According to the BBC, Machado’s daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, delivered a message from her mother and said their reunification would take place after the ceremony.

“I am here on behalf of my mother, María Corina Machado, who has united millions of Venezuelans in an extraordinary effort,” Sosa said. “Although she has not been able to be here and take part in this ceremony, I must say that my mother never breaks a promise. And that is why, with all the joy in my heart, I can tell you that in just a few hours, we will be able to embrace her here in Oslo after sixteen months…”

As NBC News noted, Machado’s speech, delivered by her daughter, reminded the world that “democracy is essential to peace.” Machado also noted that: “Freedom is not something we wait for, but something we become.” While Machado had made her way safely to Oslo, her path there had been one “of extreme danger.” She is currently banned from leaving Venezuela and has been in hiding ever since Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro won his last term, presenting a threat to Machado, who opposed his regime.

When Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize, she praised President Donald Trump for his decisive actions worldwide to bring peace to warring nations.

After Zac Brown Band’s latest Las Vegas residency show stirred up many on social media from their blatant use of demonic imagery at the concert, prophetic voice Amanda Grace is now sounding the alarm on what this means for our society.

“I want to talk to you about underlying spiritual principles that are connecting back biblically with all of this,” Grace says. “First of all, the Sphere where this concert is, is on Sands Avenue. In Matthew chapter 7, it says, ‘The wise man built his house upon the rock. The foolish man built his house upon the sand.’ Las Vegas, where this concert is, is a dry place.”

Grace then points out that demonic entities in Scripture wander through the desert, seeking rest wherever they can find it. She further notes how this all connects to a greater lawlessness.

“When the mystery of lawlessness is at work, many times there is an underlying watermark of 666, and I’m going to show you where it’s hidden within this Zac Brown concert,” she says.

Grace then mapped out how Zac Brown performed 26 songs during this concert, which took place at the Sphere, a word with six letters, and was sold out for Dec. 5 and 6. The “6” in 26, the six letters and the date of the sixth, Grace points out, is three sixes: 666. She then warned that by celebrating the demonic, Brown is actually giving legal access to demonic entities into his life.

“We cannot give place to these things because when we do, we’re giving them dominion and a legal right of passage, not only into our lives, but into the lives of all of those people that were in that concert,” Grace says.

Grace’s warning serves as a sobering reminder that entertainment can carry spiritual implications far beyond the stage. As Christians, we must remain discerning and vigilant, resisting anything that grants a foothold to darkness in our lives and culture.
