During a powerful night of prayer hosted by Ark of Grace Ministries’ Amanda Grace, both Dinesh D’Souza and Jonathan Cahn gave riveting and transformative messages and prayers for America and family of the late Charlie Kirk.

Dinesh D’Souza, whose latest film, The Dragon’s Prophecy, explores biblical prophecy alongside global events, reflected on the late Charlie Kirk and the younger generation: “A lot of these young people… they get ostracized. They get demonized for who they are, for what they believe. And here was an organization that allowed people to find others who are like themselves and listen to speakers and be encouraged in their beliefs and in their convictions.”

Looking back on his early days speaking on campuses, D’Souza noted how dramatically the environment has changed: “…I spent much of the ’90s and 2000s speaking on just hundreds of campuses… the idea that someone would attack you or shoot you was pretty far-fetched.”

He highlighted how Kirk’s vibrancy and authenticity brought hope to a dislocated and besieged generation: “Charlie at the bottom was a really nice guy… and I think this is actually weirdly why the… devil himself set his sights on Charlie and decided, you know, we’re going to take this guy out, but it backfired because God has a way of steering these things to good.”

Offering a heartfelt prayer for the nation and its leaders, D’Souza said: “We need… spiritual healing and a recommitment to the principles of the founders… the idea that we are created equal, the idea that our rights come from God. We need that kind of reform to put our country right side up.”

Following D’Souza, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn delivered a moving message on the spiritual significance of placing true faith in Christ and this link to the Abrahamic blessing. “For every child of God, every believer… You are linked and joined to the nation of Israel. All your blessings… the greatest blessings of your life came through Israel. And so we need to bless them back.”

Cahn illustrated the story of Ruth and Naomi, highlighting the believer’s role in supporting Israel: “If you’re a born-again believer in Messiah, if you’re not Jewish by birth, you are Ruth. And so, it’s for you to bless Ruth now and to say to the Jewish people, Israel, wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you dwell, I will dwell. Your people shall be my people and your God my God. And nothing but death shall separate you from me.”

In a time of division and cultural upheaval, their words challenge every believer to rise boldly, stand for truth, and engage in the spiritual battle with both wisdom and courage.

In a deeply candid conversation with Lecrae, Dr. Tony Evans opened up about his decades in ministry, the intense spiritual warfare that has marked his journey and the recent transition of leadership to his son, Pastor Jonathan Evans.

Evans, founder and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, said that spiritual warfare often comes not only from the outside world but from within the church itself.

“When you’re developing the church,” he explained, “you get people who have their own independent ideas and they want your platform without supporting your vision.” At times, he said, this can lead to betrayal and division, “because they want the environment but they’re really working for the other side.”

In addition to internal battles, Evans described the increasing hostility from a secular culture that rejects biblical truth.

“When you come out against certain lifestyles or the definition of marriage or the meaning of life or the defining of gender… that is going to bring public rejection of your worldview,” he said. “No matter how lovingly you present it.”

For Evans, these moments are not merely cultural disagreements but spiritual ones—“warfare issues” that require believers “to keep God’s name great while trying to protect yourself or your loved ones in the midst of that.”

Evans also reflected on his decision to transition leadership of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship to his son, Jonathan Evans—a process that had been years in the making. While recent narratives and speculation have surfaced around the internet, Evans says, “It wasn’t like it came out of nowhere,” he said. “We had meetings about it. It was even bigger than my son—it was about how our church would move to the next generation.”

He recalled how Jonathan’s calling became evident over time: “When Jonathan graduated from college, he went to the NFL for a few years. His Christian witness was very clear… they would be asking him to lead chapels. Then he decided after football to go to seminary—we didn’t push him to go, he decided.”

As Jonathan’s ministry matured, Evans said he saw God’s hand guiding the process. “We decided to put a preliminary plan in place in case this is what God wants,” he said. “As circumstances took place and I had to back away quicker than I originally planned, I saw that God had already moved things in this direction that has now been embraced by the church.”

Through seasons of warfare, loss, and transition, Evans’ message remains steadfast: when life’s battles fall outside of our control, they are still “inside of His.” His story is a reminder to the church and believers everywhere: truth, courage and faith will always outlast the lies, and God’s purposes will prevail even when the world seems determined to do otherwise.

“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” the statement read, according to Fox News.

The statement continues: “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life…With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further…”I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

As Fox noted, upon this decision, Prince Andrew is relinquishing his title as the Duke of York, but will continue to be a prince due to the fact since he is the late Queen Elizabeth’s son.

This decision by the Royal Family follows serious allegations concerning Prince Andrew, as recounted in Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, in which she claims to have been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and connected to the prince.

Jenny Weaver and Isaiah Saldivar are sounding a wake-up call for believers: there is a real spiritual darkness many people are opening up their homes to unknowingly.

Demons are spirits, and just as God’s presence can fill a home through prayer and worship, evil spirits can likewise take up residence in a space that has been left vulnerable. The items people bring into their homes can serve as open doors for demonic activity. Movies, video games, music or any object tied to occult practices can create an invitation for darkness, even when they seem harmless.

“A lot of you have these type of movies, these horror movies, these demonic games, these demonic dolls that you buy your kids and other things, not thinking they’re anything wrong. And I’m telling you right now, they are an open door,” Saldivar says.

Substance use is another major doorway into the demonic. Drugs and alcohol, including prescription medications, can open spiritual doors that expose people to deception and bondage. Modern pharmaceuticals, especially opioids, anti-anxiety drugs and other psychotropic medications, carry risks that go beyond physical side effects; they can dull spiritual awareness, impair judgment and create vulnerability to spiritual attacks.

“So many times people don’t realize those are major open doors and they go, ‘Well, if God made it, why can’t I do it?'” Weaver says. “That doesn’t mean that we can now just put anything in our bodies that comes from the earth.

The dangers extend beyond casual experimentation. What may seem like a harmless indulgence can quickly spiral into deeper spiritual, mental and physical bondage. Ultimately, anything tied to darkness has the ability to bring evil into your life.

Have the mysterious spy balloons finally returned?

In a report by the Daily Mail, sightings of unusual white objects in the clouds have been detected in Alabama, Colorado and Arizona recently. These unusual signs in the sky are bringing back memories for some of the 2023 Chinese spy balloons that traversed across America.

As these unusual objects have been spotted, people have taken to the internet to share photos and videos. In Tucson, some reports came out earlier this year of a believed spy balloon, but it was later confirmed to be part of military testing.

According to the Daily Mail, another recent occurrence happened a couple of weeks ago near Lemmon, Arizona. Sightings of other balloon objects happened in Boulder, Colorado, which was confirmed later to be an Aerostar Thunderhead steerable balloon. Aerostar is a company that focuses on making balloons for scientific studies, military purposes and telecommunications. One of the balloons in Alabama also belonged to Aerostar.

For believers, these strange sightings serve as a reminder that we’re living in times when discernment is crucial—both in the natural and the spiritual. Whether these “spy balloons” are military tools, belong to foreign entities or are mere atmospheric experiments, they reflect a world increasingly marked by surveillance, secrecy and uncertainty. In an age of mystery and deception, our ultimate security rests not in governments or technology, but in the sovereignty of God who watches over His people from heaven.

Russell Brand is making it clear: We are no longer in a time to play around with Christianity.

At the latest Turning Point USA event at the University of Oklahoma, Brand gave a very clear and bold message when he was asked about how to respond to pastors who are trying to accommodate to everyone instead of sticking with the boldness and the truth of the gospel.

“There’s a revival happening,” says Brand. “This isn’t the time to be frightened. This is the time to no longer deny His holiness and His greatness.”

Brand also pointed to the reality the spiritual realm. If God is real, so is the adversary.

“Not only is Jesus Christ real, the devil is real,” Brand proclaims. “And the devil has his hands on the leaders of power, and we must be mindful of that. Technology changes the world real fast. There is an attempt to assert a centralization when it is clear that de-centralization is possible. Maximum sovereignty for the individual. We are made in His likeness…”

“BE BOLD FROM THE PULPIT.”@rustyrockets: “This isn’t the time to play it safe. Jesus is real—and so is the devil. The culture is steeped in evil. Pastors, be bold. Preach truth. Refute darkness. Revival requires courage.”@TPUSA pic.twitter.com/kaKIY1itQD

— Real America's Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) October 17, 2025

Brand further notes that while we must love others, we have to stand up against evil and darkness anywhere it is lurking.

“The culture is steeped in it,” Brand says of evil. “Be bold from the pulpit, be bold among your congregation.”

Brand has been very public about his transformation and salvation in Christ, documenting his baptism, his continued learning about Jesus Christ and even being publicly prayed over to carry out the Great Commission.

At a time when culture is increasingly hostile to the truth, Brand’s words serve as a powerful reminder that Christians cannot shrink back or compromise. We are called to stand boldly for the gospel, unafraid to confront sin, deception and the schemes of the enemy, while pointing people to the reality of Jesus Christ.

This moment demands courage—courage to speak truth in every arena, courage to shine light into darkness and courage to live lives fully surrendered to Christ, knowing that revival begins when His people refuse to be silent.

After President Donald Trump recently made comments about how he does not see himself as “heaven-bound,” people have been concerned about his salvation in Christ. Now, the people in his inner circle are speaking up about his faith.

According to The Christian Post, White House Faith Office Director Jenny Korn discussed Trump’s beliefs at the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference which took place at the Museum of the Bible.

“The president has his own language, and I look at it, and I know his language, it was humility,” Korn said of Trump’s comments about heaven. According to Korn, Trump has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior.

“I have the honor of knowing him now for almost 10 years,” Korn stated. “I’ve been in the Oval Office with the cameras and without the cameras…those pictures that you see of the president praying in the Oval Office with many pastors around him, it’s real.”

She further described the president as having a humble heart, inviting prayer for himself and all around the White House.

“On camera or off camera, the president welcomes hands-on and welcomes prayer…it’s in his heart, and this is who he is,” Korn said. “There’s been prayer in the Oval Office, in the Roosevelt Room, in the East Room, in the Residence, on the grounds, in every part of the White House inside and out.”

The Christian Post further noted that Trump’s son, Eric, also claims that his dad is “saving God” and “saving Christianity” through his role in the White House.

“Make no mistake, he is heaven-bound,” Eric said on “The Benny Show.” “He’s probably too humble in a certain way to say that.”

Eric Trump further described seeing how God’s hand has been upon his father in extraordinary ways, which he sees as a sign of his father on the track for heaven.

In a speech, Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. told Trump, “You didn’t believe you were going to get into heaven. You are doing God’s work here. You’ve made peace in the Middle East, which is beyond anyone’s imagination. And now you’re giving millions of Americans the chance to have babies…”

While doing good works and receiving prayer from others is commendable, it is important to remember that salvation only comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. No amount of money, good deeds or kindness can get any of us into heaven. Just like us, the president doesn’t have to put the pressure on himself to do enough to get into heaven. The only thing that is required is repentance of sin and a turning to Christ as Lord and Savior.

As we reflect on President Trump’s journey, let us pray that if he has not already, he can fully embrace the gift of salvation Christ purchased on the cross, without feeling the weight of having to earn it through works or accomplishments.

Over 2,000 Catholics joined Jonathan Roumie for a special communion service in Times Square.

According to the Catholic News Agency, the 6th Annual Eucharist procession took place in Times Square on Oct. 14 where 2,000 people met in St. Patrick’s Cathedral “for a Holy Hour and Mass, followed by a procession.”

During this time, The Chosen star Jonathan Roumie gave a powerful message about how communion has been a key factor in his personal life as he takes the on-screen role of Jesus.

“…you don’t have to play Jesus on TV to be Jesus to the world around you. And that we can do this by making the Eucharist part of our daily life,” Roumie said. ““This became my own endeavor in the last six months, filming the penultimate season of ‘The Chosen, Season 6…’ It centers on the crucifixion. It was by far the hardest thing I have ever done as an actor and as a Christian man.”

“The intensity of portraying Christ’s passion, suffering, and death on the cross was one which challenged me and necessitated a level of strength that I, on my own, do not possess, but only Christ Himself,” Roumie continued.

He then told audiences that during this intense time of filming, it was through taking communion and confession that he found strength to go on.

“Confession, the Eucharist and adoration became my very food and drink. Without these, I would surely have starved and perished: perished in the abyss of my own mental approximation of our Lord’s crucifixion and death,” Roumie stated. He further noted that, “by seeking the healing of the deep wounds of sin within myself through the sacrament of reconciliation, receiving the Eucharist almost daily, it was Christ who then took over and further fashioned my soul to reflect more of Him within me.”

Ultimately, through this process, Roumie said it is “Christ whose light shines within me.” He also stated that God has kept His promise to never leave us nor forsake us. “For 2,000 years, he has kept his promise. He is with us.”

Just as Roumie pointed out, living a godly life is not about perfection, but about daily surrender and drawing strength from the presence of God through the sacraments. In communion, we are reminded that Christ is with us, guiding, sustaining and shaping us into vessels of His light.

The disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, is a genetic condition which affects both the ability to walk and to balance well.

As the report noted, Jackson said, “Most of my fans know I have a degenerative health condition that affects my legs and arms and my mobility that I got from my daddy and it’s getting worse…So it makes me uncomfortable on stage, and I just have a hard time…”

Jackson has publicly declared his faith in Jesus for years, releasing a gospel record called “Precious Memories” back in 2006. He later released Volume II of the album with songs such as “Amazing Grace” and “There is Power in the Blood.”

Now as he embarks on this final musical chapter, Jackson will host “Last Call: One More For the Road — The Finale” on June 27, 2026 in Nashville. Singers such as Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lee Ann Womack will join him for this fantastic farewell.

Scientists are in disarray after an unexpected “mega fire” hit an unlikely location.

In the United Kingdom, the region experienced their first ever “mega fire,” according to the Daily Mail. This event, which occurred back in June, took place in the Scottish Highlands burning 42.5 square miles. The areas affected were Carrbridge and Dava Moor, and the fire was the first of this size to historically hit Dava Moor. However, as the report noted, “experts say that this could be a sign of things to come.”

In fact, 2025 has had more fires rampage through the U.K. than any other year-to-date. Fire expert Dr. Matthew Jones told the Daily Mail, “Though the U.K. is obviously not as fire–prone as other world regions, risks of wildfire absolutely are rising…”

Earlier this year we saw fires make their way through Los Angeles and the Grand Canyon, but striking in the U.K. is quite unusual given the climate and building differences among those geographical regions. As earthquakes, wildfires and other natural disasters continue to increase, we could wonder if these are more than anomalies, but rather prophetic warnings.

From America’s west coast to the Scottish Highlands, the rise in unprecedented natural disasters seems to echo a global shaking—a reminder that creation is not in chaos but under divine orchestration. In this critical hour, the flames may be pointing us toward a deeper truth—that time is drawing short, and redemption is near.
