While the NFL corporate structure has welcomed left-wing politics into the organization with open arms, many of the players continue to stand up for God and His biblical values.

This is especially the case when the Olympic Opening Ceremony, dubbed by many to be a demonic perversion, offended Christians and non-Christians alike around the world.

Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker, known for speaking up for traditional, biblical values, was having none of it and confronted the sexually perverse performance with Scripture.

He posted to social media with a video of the event saying:

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.”

Galatians 6:7-8

Butker was joined by former quarterback Luke McCown, who refused to repost the Olympic “filth” and condemned the portrayal of Jesus the risen Lord in a lengthy social media post:

Won’t repost the filth from the Olympics..
Disappointed but not sure why it’s a part of the event..

But know this..
There was a last supper that led to an empty tomb.

A tomb that for three days held the body of the God-man Jesus who just prior to the tomb, indeed had a last supper with his disciples before he willingly climbed on a cross…

carrying with him, in a selfless act of grace, all the sins of all the world,
past, present and future sins…

and bore the wrath and judgement of a righteous and holy God so that we..

me, you, them, all of us.. would no longer be bound by the sins that entangle us..

but be set free from its grip on our minds, hearts, bodies and souls.. even free from the grip of death itself.

There was a last supper, that led to a blood covered cross, that led to an empty tomb. Proclaiming victory over sin, death, and hell.

So that we might be invited to an eternal banquet!

The last supper led to the 1st empty tomb.

A victory won. Thank you Jesus for the last supper.

Go read about in the Bible starting in
Matthew 26:17.

While the brains behind the ceremony have tried to deflect any wrongdoing as an act of unity and love, along with the Olympic committee’s apology that wasn’t really an apology, few are taking the bait and instead are calling out the atrocious performance for what it was: anti-God.

Archaeologists have unearthed a massive fortification in Jerusalem, believed to have protected the city’s biblical kings some 3,000 years ago. This discovery, hailed as “monumental” and “dramatic,” resolves a long-standing mystery regarding the City of David’s ancient defenses.

The excavation, ongoing since 2007 near the Givati Parking Lot—the largest active archaeological site in Jerusalem—has revealed a variety of historical layers, spanning from the Middle Ages back to ancient times. The latest find is a remnant of a moat that once bisected the City of David, separating the royal palace and Temple Mount from the rest of the city, including the Ophel.

This fortification corresponds with the city’s division mentioned in the Bible as Ophel and Millo. A biblical reference of the discovery can be found in 1 Kings 11:27, where it is stated, “And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the City of David his father.” The identification of this moat, which features sheer, unclimbable cliffs on both sides, marks the resolution of a 150-year-old archaeological puzzle concerning Jerusalem’s northern defenses.

The origins of the moat remain unclear, but it is evident that it was utilized during the time when Jerusalem served as the capital of the Kingdom of Judah, starting nearly 3,000 years ago. Tel Aviv University’s Professor Yuval Gadot and Dr. Yiftach Shalu from the Israel Antiquities Authority note that during this period, the moat delineated the city’s expansion to the south, where the general populace resided, from the Acropolis—the upper city, which housed the palace and temple on the Temple Mount.

The moat’s discovery, which spans at least 70 meters from west to east, has prompted a reexamination of past excavation reports, particularly those by British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon in the 1960s. This discovery also rekindles discussions about biblical terms related to Jerusalem’s topography, specifically Ophel and Millo.

Eli Escusido, Director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, expressed his awe at the discovery, noting that the excavations in the City of David continue to reveal new insights into biblical literature. “When you stand at the bottom of this giant excavation, surrounded by enormous hewn walls, it is impossible not to be filled with wonder and appreciation for those ancient people who, about 3,800 years ago, literally moved mountains and hills,” he remarked.

The continuous uncovering of archaeological treasures in Jerusalem showcases the historical and spiritual significance of Israel and Jerusalem as the Jewish homeland. As Psalm 122:3-4 states, “Jerusalem is built as a city that is designed for a multitude, where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as a decree of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.”

How crazy are the days we are living in according to conservative commentator Glenn Beck?

“If I was to sum it up in just a few words, I would say it would have to be ‘Jesus is coming,'” Beck explains to host Allie Beth Stuckey.

These are certainly wild times, especially when it comes to American politics. While many believe that Vice President Kamala Harris now holds the Democratic nomination for president, Beck isn’t convinced.

Beck expressed skepticism about Harris’ potential nomination for the presidency, stating, “I can’t imagine it’s going to be Kamala Harris.” He highlighted a perceived lack of endorsement from influential Democratic leaders, particularly former President Barack Obama.

“Barack Obama hasn’t weighed in on it yet… he doesn’t want Kamala Harris,” Beck said, suggesting that Harris lacks backing from key party figures.

This is not the only area of uncertainty facing the party in the coming days as, Beck warns of potential chaos at the Democratic National Convention, drawing comparisons to the 1968 convention in Chicago, marked by mass riots among the various strands of the political left, and broadcast nightly over network news coverage into American living rooms.

“I imagine we’re going to have chaos on the convention floor,” Beck predicted.

That would be a stark contrast to the Republican National Convention which recently wrapped up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a united front, firmly behind the leadership of former President Donald Trump.

Beyond Harris’ individual prospects, Beck criticized the broader approach of the Democratic Party, particularly their handling of the primaries and the nomination process. “The Democrats seem to be OK with it, which is so bizarre,” he commented, referring to what he perceives as the party’s willingness to suppress internal challenges to President Biden’s leadership.

Beck correctly notes the chaos and absurdity of our times, but we must remember that Jesus is the victor over darkness. As believers, we wage a spiritual battle from a position of victory, not defeat, and are commanded to share this victory with others, as outlined in the Great Commission. Through Jesus, we find the strength, discernment and love needed to overcome the enemy on the spiritual battlefield.

Narcissism can be challenging to identify, especially when cloaked in Christian language and behaviors.

Kris Reece, a Christian life coach and author, recently shared insights into identifying “Christian narcissists,” individuals who use their faith to manipulate and control others. In one of her recent videos, Reece outlines five key traits to watch for, offering guidance rooted in biblical teachings.

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

1. Lack of True Emotional Intimacy
   Reece warns that Christian narcissists struggle with genuine emotional connections. “Trying to connect emotionally with a narcissist is like watering a plastic plant; no matter how much you pour, it’ll never grow,” she says. This mirrors the Bible’s call for genuine love, as seen in Romans 12:9, “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
2. Defensive and Aggressive Responses to Criticism
   According to Reece, these individuals react negatively to any form of feedback. “You could think that you’re offering constructive feedback to someone who appreciates your advice, but in reality, you’re dealing with a narcissist who perceives anything and everything as an attack,” she explains. In contrast, Proverbs 12:1 emphasizes the value of correction: “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.”
3. Excessive Pride and Self-Focus
   Christian narcissists often dominate conversations and seek constant admiration. Reece notes, “Conversations with them will always be filled with ‘me’s and ‘I’s.” This behavior contradicts Philippians 2:3, which advises, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”
4. Manipulative Use of Scripture
   Reece cautions against those who misuse Scripture for personal gain. “Even the devil knows Scripture, how they use it,” she advises. This warning aligns with 2 Timothy 3:5, which describes individuals who have “a form of godliness but denying its power.”
5. Instability and Inconsistency
   Reece also highlights the unpredictable nature of Christian narcissists. “Their attitude, mood, and behavior can change like the wind,” she says, leaving others feeling off-balance. James 1:8 warns against such instability: “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

In a three-year-old video that recently went viral, evangelist Perry Stone discussed a 1933 vision by the late William Branham, an evangelist known for his prophetic insights. According to Stone, Branham foresaw several significant events, including a prediction that a woman would hold high power in the United States, potentially as president. This has led some to speculate about Kamala Harris, the current Vice President, as a possible fulfillment of this prophecy.

Stone described Branham as a man with a “tremendous gift that God had given him,” emphasizing that those who knew Branham personally believed he “never missed his words of wisdom, words of knowledge, prophecies, or if he said he had a vision.” Among the visions recorded by Branham was one in which he saw a future leader of the United States as a woman. Stone noted, “A woman will take the place of a president or something great in high power in America,” adding that this could be a sign of significant changes to come.

Branham’s vision also included technological predictions, such as the development of driverless cars, which he described as looking “like an egg” and being controlled by something other than a steering wheel, possibly resembling modern autonomous vehicles. Stone remarked, “Now folks, listen to me, we’re here,” suggesting that these advancements align with Branham’s predictions from nearly a century ago.

The video goes on to consider the possibility of Harris rising to the presidency, particularly given President Biden’s age and health concerns. Stone stated, “Even the secular media has said he will stay in for a certain period of time; he’ll step down,” implying that Harris could potentially fulfill Branham’s prophecy.

While the video presents these predictions as potentially significant world-altering events, it is important to approach such prophecies with discernment. The Bible advises believers to test all prophecies: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world,” (1 John 4:1).

Stone continued his message by echoing this command from the Bible, noting the uncertain nature of these predictions, “Only time will tell if this is the season… where she would step in.”

As believers, it is crucial to weigh such prophetic messages carefully and seek guidance from Scripture and prayer.

Ohio state Sen. George Lang (R) sure fired up the anti-Trump crowd recently when he introduced Republican vice presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) at a rally on Monday.

Seemingly out of nowhere Lang announced, “Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country politically. I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country and it will be saved,” in the now viral clip.

“It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind. And if we come down to a civil war, I’m glad we got people like Schmidty and the bikers for Trump on our side,” he adds, including several other Trump supporting groups in the audience.

Using language with such a strong buzzword catches the ears of both political sides whenever the other uses it, and quickly draw condemnations for it.

Lang quickly apologized for using the incendiary phrasing, later that day in fact, as the nation is still on edge following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

“Remarks I made earlier today at a rally in Middletown do not accurately reflect my views,” Lang wrote in the statement. “I regret the divisive remarks I made in the excitement of the moment on stage. Especially in light of the assassination attempt on President Trump last week, we should all be mindful of what is said at political events, myself included.”

The United States is experiencing increased division, fueled by political and cultural rhetoric. These rifts often are exacerbated by media portrayal and social media, where echo chambers reinforce rabid tribalism and deepen divides. The widening gap between differing viewpoints and ideologies has left many feeling alienated and disconnected from their fellow citizens.

In response to this division, the unifying love of God offers the only true and permanent path toward reconciliation and understanding. Embracing a spirit of compassion and forgiveness can help bridge the divides that separate us. As Paul wrote in Colossians 3:14, “And above all these things, embrace love, which is the bond of perfection.”

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, evangelist Perry Stone presented a prophetic message drawing parallels between former President Donald Trump and the biblical figure King Nebuchadnezzar.

Stone claims that Trump’s experiences and potential future mirror the ancient king’s journey, emphasizing God’s divine plan at work.

The key comparison revolves around Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a great tree that was cut down but a stump was left, symbolizing his temporary downfall and eventual restoration. Stone suggests that Trump’s election loss and subsequent legal challenges represent a similar period of humbling. “My prediction was this: that the Lord had allowed President Trump to be removed, and there was going to be a great humbling of him, as there was with Nebuchadnezzar,” Stone explains.

Stone highlighted the parallels between the two leaders. Nebuchadnezzar, known for his grand empire and powerful rule, surrounded himself with strong Jewish advisors, much like Trump’s close relationship with his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner. “Both men built an empire before becoming president… Jared Kushner is Jewish and sat with Trump during closed-door meetings as an advisor,” Stone notes.

According to Stone, the seven years Nebuchadnezzar spent in exile are echoed in Trump’s numerous legal battles. “If you begin to think about all of the legal problems that he’s had, you can count seven of them,” he pointed out. This period of trials is seen as a test designed to bring Trump to a state of humility before a potential return to power.

Stone is confident that Trump’s experiences will lead to a spiritual transformation in the former president, as well as a humbling before God not least after surviving the assassination attempt July 13. “He will be a much more humbled man and a man that understands God preserved me for a purpose,” he asserted. Stone continues with a direct message to Trump, urging him to “stay very humble before the almighty God but stay strong before men.

“Never, never give up what God Himself has put in your heart, and understand that there was a purpose and a reason that your life was spared.”

It took 10 days before the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, made the decision to resign from her position over what some are calling the greatest lapse in Secret Service history.

Following her grilling from congressional members in front of the House Oversight Committee over the failures that led to former President Donald Trump being a fraction of an inch from being killed, Cheatle was confronted with bi-partisan support for her removal.

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

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (CA) called for her resignation during the congressional hearing while Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a “privileged motion to impeach Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle.”

Cheatle appears to have been left with no other option as she no longer had the backing of the Democratic party.

The Biden administration released a statement shortly after Cheatle’s resignation announcement.

There are other voices, such as investigative journalist and perhaps Donald Trump’s most loyal supporter Laura Loomer, who believes criminal charges should be filed against Cheatle due to her belief that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was a set up.

“Resigning isn’t enough. Kim Cheatle needs to be criminally charged. She is an accessory to attempted murder and an accessory to murder. They let Trump take the stage at his rally while knowing about the shooter,” Loomer wrote on X.

In this time of chaos, there is only one source of hope for the nation and that is in Jesus Christ. The lies and deceptions of the days we live in are never ending, but we can equip ourselves appropriately to deal with such falsehood by digging deep into the Word of God and engaging in the spiritual warfare necessary to save America from the grasp of evil.

In a recent broadcast, prophetic voice Joseph Z detailed alarming cyber disruptions and linked them to a larger narrative involving artificial intelligence and the Antichrist system.

A live incident at Milwaukee Airport saw Microsoft systems worldwide crash, displaying the “blue screen of death” and causing widespread outages. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, alongside Microsoft, has been working to address the issue, but disruptions have persisted.

“This is a problem affecting Microsoft systems. We are seeing a massive global outage and disruption,” Z said. He added that 911 systems, hospitals and various other services had been impacted, urging people to check the functionality of Microsoft-related systems.

Z believes these events are part of a broader scheme involving artificial intelligence. “I believe we’re going to see more and more of that type of narrative taking place where people begin to go, ‘My goodness, what is going on?'” he said. Z posits that this “super intelligence,” or AI, is linked to the Antichrist system and is being developed by those programming it. “This is going to advance into a super intelligence which, of course, is anti-Christ—not the Antichrist. I believe the Antichrist system is being set up with AI,” he warned.

Details from Z include further chaos in various sectors, particularly in airlines. “I sense a great shaking coming again to the airlines,” he said, highlighting an expected increase in disruptions aimed at inducing widespread chaos. Z also foresees weather-related events becoming significant, alongside a narrative involving solar flares. “I believe there’s coming an unprecedented, like nothing we’ve seen, solar flare false flag narrative,” he stated, suggesting these could be man-made crises.

Z urged America to repent, warning of more Trojan Horse-like cyber attacks. “America, repent, because there’s more of these Trojan Horse things that are trying to manifest,” he said.

A previous prophecy pointed to a recent cyber attack on Las Vegas hotels and casinos, with Z stating that this signifies broader implications. “What happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas,” he said. The attack, which crippled key card slot machines and ATMs at nearly a dozen resorts, is seen as part of a larger pattern of cyber disruptions.

Z emphasizes the urgency of these times and called for spiritual readiness. “There’s something going on with technology,” he says. “I believe we’re headed toward a great day, maybe a terrible day for the unrighteous. More and more manifestation.”

This manifestation, Z believes, will appear as satellites and more internet outages leaving havoc in their wake.

“I believe you’re going to see satellites that are falling,” reveals Z. “When that begins to happen, and they’re talking about it, …when this starts shaking, shortages, Internet outages. It’s a tech takeover.”

As with most areas of society, the enemy is trying to gain greater and greater control over peoples’ everyday lives. It is through the Bible, the Word of God, that Christians can arm ourselves with wisdom and discernment for the times that are rapidly approaching.
