On Good Friday, the world was reminded that hope is far from lost. While headlines may scream the death of Christianity, what’s happening across America — and the world — is telling a very different story.

In a recent segment hosted by Raymond Arroyo on Fox News, evangelist Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, joined to discuss the current cultural climate and what many are calling a spiritual revival.

“I believe it’s a movement of God,” Graham said. “I embrace it. I thank God for it. I think it’s going to continue.”

The conversation began with a look at culture and the growing appetite for Christian truth. Arroyo highlighted the success of faith-based entertainment: The King of Kings and The Chosen: Last Supper are outperforming certain Disney releases, and Mel Gibson’s upcoming sequel to The Passion of the Christ is already stirring excitement. “There is a yearning for truth, eternal truth and community rooted in that tree,” he said.

Churches are experiencing the same surge. “The National Catholic Register is reporting across the country dioceses are seeing annual increases in new converts of 30% to 70%,” Arroyo said. Reports of packed pews and mass baptisms are becoming more common, especially among younger generations. “It’s young men who are the highest numbers returning to the faith,” he noted.

Graham pointed to leadership at the highest level as a sign of the tide turning: “We have a president that is not afraid of his faith. He doesn’t shy away. He doesn’t run away from it. He’s very bold about it.” Graham also recalled Trump’s personal testimony: “He’ll tell you in Butler, Pennsylvania, it was God who spared his life.”

This isn’t just a political moment, but a cultural one. “What you’re seeing is the normalization of faith across the culture,” Arroyo said. “Pop culture, government, it’s like a green light that one can with calm and confidence express faith without fear of recrimination.”

And when asked what’s driving this revival? Graham didn’t hesitate: “I believe it’s a movement of God.” From baptisms in the back of pickup trucks to renewed hunger for orthodoxy, it’s clear something big is happening. “Our country is in a moral nosedive and something’s got to turn around. God may be doing it right now.”

Amen to that.

This Passover season, Rabbi Kirt Schneider is calling believers to stop looking back—and start charging into the future with confidence in the power of God’s deliverance.

“Is your past holding you back?” Rabbi Schneider asks in his message titled Passover – Charge Into a New Season. “Sometimes we don’t understand how what we’ve been through in the past is causing us to be ineffective today.”

Drawing from the story of Israel’s exodus from Egypt, Rabbi Schneider emphasized the miraculous power of God to set His people free, not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally too.

“Our God, who’s a personal God, who has a name, Yahweh… is in the ministry of delivering people from their past,” he said. Referencing Exodus 14, he reminded listeners, “The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.”

But Schneider made it clear that faith isn’t passive.

“Why do you keep crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward,” he read from Scripture. “So you might be asking God for help with something, but there comes a time where you need to take a step forward… believing He’s going to do something as you go forward.”

He underscored that the Exodus moment was not just a dramatic historical event—it was a picture of what God wants to do in the lives of believers today.

“God delivers and sets free completely,” Schneider declared. “Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians… not even one of them remained.”

The opportune connection to Passover couldn’t be clearer. “Jewish people all over the world celebrate this story and tell this story every year… we consider the greatest part of the Passover the retelling of this story right here—how God delivers His people and delivers us today through… the blood of the Lamb.”

Rabbi Schneider also sang a paraphrase of the Song of Moses, declaring: “I will sing unto the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously. The horse and rider thrown into the sea… The Lord my God, my strength, my song, has also become my salvation.”

He concluded the message with a personal encouragement to everyone carrying burdens from the past. “I want to encourage you today to stop accepting your past as a present reality,” Schneider said. “Let’s not let Satan’s lies cling to us… You’re destined for glory. Keep putting one foot in front of the other in the Lord.”

And as he closed the program, he left viewers with a timely reminder: “Chag Sameach. That’s Hebrew for happy holiday. And it is a time, it’s a season to be happy because Passover is about freedom and deliverance.”

“Who is behind the growth of Islam in Europe?”

“The answer: Russia.”

Pastor Dave Bowen of Standing Stones Community Church in Phoenix, Arizona, is sounding the alarm on a growing spiritual and geopolitical shift in Europe—and what it means for the biblical end-time remnant.

According to Bowen, Russia is exporting Islam and training terror groups like Hamas, PLO and even Iran’s religious leadership, “If you want to see why the Christian church is being persecuted around the world and why Islam is being elevated around the world, look at what’s gone on in Russia.”

The Fall of Christian Europe

Bowen points to London as a key indicator of biblical prophecy unfolding. “Christianity is no longer the majority in London—first time ever,” he said. “London’s West End was lit up with 30,000 lights marking the month of Ramadan. That was the first time that was ever done.”

He mentioned London’s Muslim mayor during the lighting ceremony: “If he had told me all these years ago that within my lifetime we would have lights in London celebrating Ramadan like we do Christmas, I wouldn’t have believed you.

“The most popular baby name in the United Kingdom is no longer Noah or Jack,” Bowen said. “It is now Muhammad. Can you believe that?”

The Remnant: Few Will Find It

Citing Zechariah, Isaiah and the words of Jesus in Matthew 7, Bowen emphasized the prophetic call to the faithful: “Enter through the narrow gate…there are few who find it. That is a remnant.”

He continued, “Zechariah 13 points out that two-thirds of the Jewish population won’t survive this period, which is the Tribulation period. One-third will. Folks, that is a remnant.”

Bowen summarized it this way: “There will be an end-time remnant… the pathway becomes smaller and smaller and more narrow, as Jesus said would take place.”

Islam Is Not Just a Religion—It’s an Ideology

Bowen urged viewers to understand that Islam is more than a set of religious beliefs. “It is not just a religion. It is an ideology. It’s social, it’s political, it’s economic.”

He compared this to Marxism and warned of the increasing alignment between the two. “Marxism and Islam, they come together. It’s about destroying capitalism,” he said. “This ideology leads to a one-world government, a one-world religion, and of course, a one-world financial system.”

Why Russia Matters

“Russia is the start of both the PLO and Hamas,” Bowen stated. “Iran’s imams, the religious leaders in Iran, they got their training in Russia.”

He also noted recent reports that Hamas leaders met with Russian officials in Moscow just days before the October 7, attacks on Israel.

Bowen quoted the Times of Israel and The New York Times, saying, “Both said, ‘Hey, this is happening. Hamas is in Russia.’”

The Hope of the Gospel Still Stands

While exposing the counterfeit doctrines of Islam, Bowen called believers back to the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ. “Only by acknowledging the innocent shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ can our sins be covered and can eternal life be achieved,” he said.

He added, “A Muslim’s entrance into paradise hinges on obedience to five pillars. Still, Allah may not allow them in. Where’s the hope?”

America’s Path Is Following Europe’s

“Just in the last decade in England, the Muslim population increased from 4.9% to 6.5%,” Bowen said. “One out of every three people in the UK now say they have no religion at all.”

He warned that America is heading in the same direction. “One of the greatest movements in America is a group called ‘nunners.’ Not N-U-N. N-O-N-E. No religion.”

Call to the Remnant

Bowen concluded with urgency: “It’s one domino after another beginning to fall. This whole ideology is setting up the end-time remnant we’ve been hearing about in Scripture.”

In a bold new message, Christian author and commentator Lance Wallnau shared three shocking truths he believes the church needs to hear for the end times—and most aren’t talking about.

Wallnau didn’t hold back when addressing what he says are misunderstood signs of the times and God’s plan for this generation.

“We are living in a moment when we have to rethink our end time thinking,” Wallnau declared. “We’re all looking at the Antichrist, the Antichrist, the Antichrist, tribulation, tribulation, rapture… What if that isn’t what the Bible says?”

1. God Didn’t Send a Revival—He Sent a Reformation

Wallnau emphasized that many believers expected revival to turn the tide in America, but instead, God is reshaping institutions.

“We believed that God had to save America by giving us a Christian in office. And what God gave us instead—biblical fulfillment, by the way of this type—He gave us a secular leader,” he said.

“Once again, we’re looking for revival. God sends reformation,” he added. “A revival is a personal change of heart. A reformation is an institutional dismantling of demonic structures and rebuilding of structures with a righteous plumb line.”

2. Trump Is a Modern-Day Cyrus

Wallnau believes Donald Trump fits the biblical mold of King Cyrus, a non-believer used by God to bless His people.

“The Lord spoke to me and said, ‘The next president of the United States, the 45th president, will be Isaiah 45,’” Wallnau recalled. “Trump, I postulated, is a modern-day Cyrus walking in the steps of a Lincoln… and a Churchill.”

He continued, “Jesus didn’t cloak Himself in a nice shepherd… He needed a Samson who’s going to go out and deal with Philistines. And we got it in this guy, Donald Trump.”

3. Jesus Is Returning as the Lion—Not the Lamb

Wallnau warned believers not to expect a soft return of Christ, but a powerful, conquering King.

“If the Lion is returning as He is, so are we,” he said. “Perhaps the church needs to develop a certain kind of resilience.”

He cited Daniel 12 and Zechariah 9 as proof that the Scriptures contain prophetic layers only now being revealed. “Seal the book until the time of the end,” Wallnau quoted from Daniel, explaining, “Maybe we have some revelation insight just between the pages.”

Beneath the surface of one of the most sacred places on earth lies a story carved in stone — and in faith.

In a recent mini-documentary that aired on Daystar, Shani Kotev of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation guided viewers through the Western Wall Tunnels, uncovering the awe-inspiring history, spiritual legacy and ongoing hope that lives in the heart of Jerusalem.

“Abraham was sent to this area, to the land of Moriah, and he was asked to do the hardest thing one can be asked to do,” Kotev said, referring to the binding of Isaac. “The binding of Isaac started the connection between the Jewish people and this place — Jerusalem.”

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

That connection deepened over millennia, from King David’s conquest of the city to the construction of Solomon’s Temple, and later, the massive expansion by King Herod. “He built an enormous platform… known till today as the Temple Mount,” Kotev explained. “And here is the Western Wall.”

But the story doesn’t stop at destruction. Despite the Roman Empire tearing down the Temple in A.D. 70, remnants remain as a powerful reminder of God’s promises. “When they got to this block, the Roman soldiers… literally sat on the rock and slowly, slowly started to chisel it,” Kotev shared while standing beside a 550-ton stone — one of the largest ever uncovered. “This is a great symbol for the glory of the Temple. But this is also a great symbol for the destruction of the Temple.”

Beneath the Muslim Quarter, Kotev walked viewers under Mamluk-era arches and into Crusader halls once filled with rubble. “When this place was excavated, it was all full of dirt, soil, rocks and garbage… and slowly, slowly in a very gentle, delicate, archeological excavation, this place was found. And look at it today. This is amazing.”

One of the highlights is the mikvah — a ritual bath over 2,000 years old, still holding clean, fresh water. “Until today, we don’t know to say exactly where this water are coming from,” Kotev marveled. “Maybe a local aquifer that is leading fresh water, rain water to this room… This one right here that was excavated in the Western Wall tunnels is maybe the most beautiful mikvah that was ever found, in my opinion, in the entire world.”

As the tour nears its end, the significance of the site becomes all the more profound.

“Less than 400 feet from where we are right now, you will find yourself on the place of the Binding, the place where two Temples stood,” Kotev said, pointing out their nearness to the Holy of Holies. “This is the nearest one can get without going up to the Temple Mount to the place or where the Temple used to be.”

Today, the heartbeat of ancient worship still echoes through the tunnels.

“Jewish women are praying 24/7, all year long, someone praying for the sake of Israel, for the sake of humanity,” Kotev said.

Whether you’ve walked those stones in person or only in spirit, Kotev’s invitation rings clear: “I invite you all, each and every one of you, to come here to Jerusalem and connect to your biblical heritage.”

In a recent episode of his podcast, John Bevere sat down with his son Arden to tackle one of the most pressing questions in eschatology: Will the church go through the wrath of God during the day of the Lord?

“This is the first time publicly I have ever said this—that I believe the church is going to be taken away prior to the seven-year tribulation,” Bevere declared.

The father-son duo dove deep into 2 Peter and 1 Thessalonians, unpacking what Scripture says about the Second Coming, the day of the Lord and the difference between tribulation and wrath. “The day of the Lord is actually the day of His wrath,” Bevere said, citing Isaiah 13 and Revelation 6. “Now the question becomes—where are we, the faithful followers of Jesus, going to be during the time of His wrath?”

The Purpose of the Rapture

Bevere emphasized the importance of 1 Thessalonians 1:10: “And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.”

And again in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Paul writes: “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

According to Bevere, that’s not something to fear—it’s something to celebrate. “We’re going to meet the Lord in the air,” he said. “Comfort one another with these words. It doesn’t say torment one another with these words.”

He also broke down the Greek word “harpazo,” translated as “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. “It means to grab or seize by force with the purpose of removing,” he explained. “This Greek word is found 14 times in the New Testament.”

Three Signs That Will Precede Christ’s Return

Throughout the conversation, Bevere noted that the Bible gives us several key signs that point to the Lord’s return. “We started talking about the things that would lead up to the return of Jesus,” he said.

Here are the three Bevere listed:

1. “The apostasy” – a great falling away from the faith.
2. “The latter rain” – a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
3. “The Elijah anointing” – a move of God that calls the prodigals back: “Calling those people—the millions that have walked away in the apostasy—back to the Lord.”

Bevere added, “God loves people so very much, He’s going to give them every chance to come back.”

A Call to Be Ready

More than pinpointing dates or arguing timelines, Bevere urged believers to focus on readiness. “The more I study, the more I realize how much I don’t know,” he admitted. “I am so crying out to the Holy Spirit.”

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

He pointed to 1 John 2:28 as the key: “Abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.”

Whether you’re pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib, Bevere was clear about one thing: this conversation shouldn’t divide the Church. “If somebody’s listening to us right now and they say, ‘No, I believe that the saints are going to be taken at the end of the seven-year’—you’re my brother and sister in Christ,” he said. “And there is no way I’m dividing over this with you.”

We’ve all heard it before: “I feel like I’m stepping into a new season.” But how do you really know when God is shifting things in your life?

Pastor Vlad Savchuk of HungryGen Ministries recently shared a powerful message on this very topic, reminding believers that life isn’t static—it moves in seasons. “The Bible does talk about life being broken into seasons,” Savchuk said. “Sometimes there are seasons of struggle, then there’s seasons of victory. Sometimes there are seasons of lack and there are seasons where we see God’s provision.”

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

So how can you tell if you’re stepping into something new? Pastor Vlad outlines 10 biblical signs that reveal a divine shift is happening:

1. A Shift in Desires and Priorities

“When God transitions you into a new season, your passions, priorities and interests often change,” Savchuk said. He referenced Philippians 2:13, adding, “It is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.”

2. Doors Closing and New Ones Opening

Savchuk encouraged believers to watch for changing opportunities: “Old opportunities fade, and new doors that align with God’s will for your life begin to open.” He quoted Revelation 3:8: “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.”

3. Unusual Opposition

“A new season often attracts increased spiritual warfare,” he warned. Quoting 1 Corinthians 16:9, Savchuk said, “A great and effective door has been opened to me… and there are many adversaries.”

4. Discomfort or Restlessness

Savchuk shared, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey.” (Deut. 1:6-7). When God is stirring you, the old season becomes uncomfortable.

5. Relationships Begin to Shift

“Some people exit because that relationship has kind of ran its course,” he explained. Referencing Ruth, Savchuk noted how her decision to follow Naomi marked her new season: “Where you go, I will go… your God, my God.”

6. New Responsibilities Are Given

“You got to understand, your faithfulness in small things will bring about God’s reward. And you know what that reward is? More responsibility,” said Savchuk. He highlighted Luke 16:10: “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much.”

7. A Renewed Hunger for God

“A fresh season is marked by a deeper craving for God’s presence and His Word,” Savchuk said. “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.” (Ps. 42:1)

8. God’s Peace Despite Uncertainty@

Savchuk encouraged believers not to fear unclear circumstances: “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7) “God’s peace becomes your guard, becomes your protection,” he added.

9. A Change in Financial Supply

“You have to understand, a season changes God’s supply,” he said. “God is still the source… but the way God supplies changes.” Whether a job ends or a new idea emerges, Savchuk pointed to Philippians 4:19: “God will supply all of your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

10. A Call to Step Out in Faith

“A new season requires courage to move forward without full clarity,” he said. Quoting Hebrews 11:8, Savchuk reminded, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go… not knowing where he was going.”

As a final encouragement, Pastor Vlad added, “Your seasons may change, but make sure your commitment to God is the same.” He explained that while seasonal transitions may come with stress, “God is not going to remove the stress, but He will increase your strength to meet the demands placed on you in that season.”

And when your scenery changes? “Dress accordingly,” Savchuk advised. “It’s kind of foolish to go barefoot in the snow, and it’s also not wise to walk around with a fur coat in the hot, scorching summer.”

God’s presence doesn’t change—but how we walk with Him in each season might. Be sensitive to His leading and step forward in faith.

In a recent livestream, Christian content creator Dayne Kamela invited his audience to pause during Holy Week and reflect on what it truly means to let the Lord lead every part of life. His message wasn’t complex or packed with religious jargon—it was honest, heartfelt and anchored in one powerful tool: prayer.

Kamela’s prayer wasn’t just a formality—it was a declaration. “Lord, You’re worthy of being praised and we thank You for the opportunity to sit and gather… even if it’s over social media,” he said. “We can use social media to magnify Your goodness and the reality of who You are.”

But it wasn’t just about community. Kamela drew the focus in closer, praying over each viewer directly: “Each person with me right now has a testimony of You and what You’ve done in their life, Lord. And I pray that they continue to share that testimony… because Your Word says, ‘We’re overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.’”

He made it personal. “When we have a relationship with You… it makes life so much better. We face persecution, we face difficulties… but it is You who helps sustain us, Lord. You are our sustainer.”

Kamela spoke to the heart of the struggle so many believers face—the temptation to compartmentalize God. “Sometimes in our lives as believers, there are areas in our lives that we actually don’t invite the Lord into,” he admitted. “Because we maybe struggle in that area… or we’re trying to do everything ourselves.”

He gave a practical example from his own journey: “My finances was actually one of the areas I invited him into first and it made such a difference… that was the first thing for me.”

But above all, Kamela came back again and again to the necessity of prayer. “Prayer just transforms my mind. Prayer just gets me on Jesus,” he said. “When my mind gets focused on Him, it steps away from everything else that can easily bring stress, anxiety, worry, fear.”

He reminded his listeners that this isn’t optional—it’s essential. “This is why prayer is so important,” he emphasized. “This is why we have to be a people of prayer.”

Quoting Scripture, Kamela shared Proverbs 16:3 from the New King James Version: “Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.” He added, “So how do you commit your works to the Lord? You do them with Him.”

Kamela’s heart behind it all is clear: “The thing that I want in my life every day is the fruit of the Spirit so strong… if I have God’s fruit—if I’ve got great love, great joy, great peace… that’s what I want. That’s what we need more of in this world.”

His encouragement is simple but profound: “Be faithful in the little. Lord, You’ve given me this—I’m going to be faithful in it. I’m going to trust You in it. I’m going to work hard at it ‘cause I’m working for You.”

Kamela closed with this challenge: “Maybe what you need every week is just time and solitude… to separate yourself from some things for a little while. Just sit with Him. Let Him love on you.”

And in that space—of quiet, of surrender, of honest conversation with God—Kamela believes the real transformation begins.

Author and researcher L.A. Marzulli says modern science is reviving the sins of Genesis 6, warning that current advances in gene editing may be fulfilling Jesus’ prophecy that the last days would be “as it was in the days of Noah.”

“We are taking genetic material and mixing the seed,” Marzulli said during a recent broadcast. “We’re doing that. Can the rapture be that far off? I don’t know. Not a date setter, but maybe next Wednesday.”

Citing Matthew 24 and the extra-biblical book of Enoch, Marzulli linked contemporary genetic experiments—including the attempted resurrection of extinct species—to the actions of fallen angels before the flood.

“We know the fallen angels sinned against the animal kingdom,” he said. “Read the book of Enoch. That’s why, you know, folks, if you were going to keep one book out of people’s hands, out of the seminaries… Oh, don’t read Enoch!”

Marzulli focused on a Dallas-based biotech company, Colossal Biosciences, that claims to have brought dire wolf pups back using ancient DNA and gene-editing techniques. “They’re able to take some of those genetic attributes and put them in with a normal wolf,” he said. “From my perspective, this is a line… we’re kind of playing God here, aren’t we?”

For Marzulli, this isn’t just a scientific curiosity—it’s a prophetic red flag.

“Jesus warns us it would be like the days of Noah,” he said. “We’re back there again. In modernity. In the present day.”

Marzulli also addressed the theological implications of resurrection, tying genetic science to biblical eschatology. “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, the trump of God,” he said, quoting 1 Thessalonians 4. “The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”

“If they can retrieve enough DNA to recreate a dire wolf… how much more could God do with our bodies at the Resurrection?” he added.

Marzulli concluded with a reference to Jesus as the “prototype,” pointing to the Shroud of Turin as what he called “forensic proof of the greatest moment in all of history—and that’s the Resurrection of the God-man, Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah.”

The warning is as ancient as it is current: tampering with the divine order has consequences. And if Marzulli is right, those consequences may soon be upon us.

“Is your past holding you back?”

Rabbi Kirt Schneider asks this question with urgency, sincerity and hope in his recent message. His answer, rooted in Scripture and personal conviction, is clear: through the power of God and the blood of Jesus, you can be set free.

Rabbi Schneider pulls no punches as he addresses how many people live in the shadow of what once was. “Sometimes we don’t understand how what we’ve been through in the past is causing us to be ineffective today,” he says. “Causing us to be ineffective in relationships, perhaps in our career.”

But God, Rabbi Schneider explains, is not distant from these struggles. “He is in the ministry of delivering people from their past,” he says, drawing from the book of Exodus, specifically chapter 14, as a profound example of God’s saving power.

He recounts how the Lord told Moses to speak to Israel as they faced the Red Sea: “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord…for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.” Rabbi Schneider emphasizes the significance of this moment: “Can you believe with me today that God can set you free?”

For Schneider, this isn’t just about a story from ancient history—it’s a living reality for believers today. “Even though for the whole time of your past days on earth you’ve been experiencing this negative thing, God can set you free from that thing in an instant, just like He did the children of Israel.”

But that freedom doesn’t come without movement. God told Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.” Rabbi Schneider brings the point home: “There comes a time where you need to take a step forward in the right direction…believing He’s going to do something as you go forward.”

The message resonates: staying stuck in the past—wallowing in regret, replaying old failures or listening to voices of shame—will never lead to freedom. “Stop accepting your past as a present reality,” Schneider says, “because once again in Christ Jesus, all things become new.”

The crossing of the Red Sea, he teaches, is symbolic of Christian baptism. “Even as Israel was supernaturally translated from Egypt to the other side of the sea with a brand-new life, you and I also…our past life is buried…and we’re brought up…a brand-new creation.”

He encourages listeners to lift their heads and believe in a future shaped by God’s promises: “Let’s lift up our head. Let’s take our head out of the ground and believe that we’ve been set free. The Scripture tells us that we’ve been released from our sin by His blood.”

The message is hopeful, and Schneider delivers it with passion. “Every day is a brand-new beginning,” he reminds us. “No matter what happened yesterday…because of the blood of Messiah, you start over.”

As believers prepare to celebrate Passover, Rabbi Schneider’s words strike a powerful chord: “Passover is about freedom and deliverance…the ultimate Lamb of God shed His blood on Passover to redeem us and set us free from our sins.”

And that freedom, he insists, is not just theological—it’s deeply personal. “Let go of the past. Don’t let it cling to you anymore. Don’t let Satan’s lies cling to you. You’re destined for glory.”

A timely reminder for all of us.
