The NBC streaming platform Peacock has recently announced its newest series on homosexuality and transgenderism in nature called “Queer Planet” will be released to the masses on June 6.

No, you read that right and no, it is not an out of season April Fool’s joke.

It is a continuation of the assault on not only God and His design, but now His creation. And it is intentionally scheduled during the month of June which has been coopted by the radical gender and sexuality activists as “Pride Month.”

If you feel like you cannot escape this onslaught of sexual perversion and that it is being forced onto societies in the West at an exponential rate, you are not alone.

Following Joe Biden’s now infamous declaration on Easter Sunday 2024, declaring it “Transgender Day of Visibility” which the LGBTQ+ community says always falls on Mar. 31, Fox News reported a total of three months and 28 days dedicated to sexuality and gender.

Now, the domain of nature is being targeted to brainwash the masses into thinking this behavior is “natural.”

Hint: it’s not.

According to the synopsis for the show on Peacock’s YouTube page, “Take a worldwide journey exploring the rich diversity of animal sexuality—from flamboyant flamingos to pansexual primates, sex-changing clownfish, multi-gendered mushrooms and everything in between. This documentary looks at extraordinary creatures, witnesses amazing behaviors and introduces the scientists who are questioning the traditional concept of what’s natural when it comes to sex and gender.”

Remember when social commentator Alex Jones was mocked and ridiculed for saying that LGBTQ+ activists were trying to make frogs gay?

Doesn’t seem so crazy now when media corporations are trying to convince society that all of nature is gay now does it?

Is America on the precipice of bringing God back into the fold of society and righting the wrong that was made decades ago?

As education in America continues to sputter and fail at actually instructing youth in being productive, moral and upstanding citizens, it now appears that several states are going back to the basics that made this nation great.

And that is putting God at the forefront.

Recently, the Louisiana Senate passed House Bill 71, which will require (meaning it won’t be an option for teachers) schools to display the Ten Commandments in all publicly funded classrooms.

“The nature of the display shall be determined by each governing authority with a minimum requirement that the Ten Commandments shall be displayed on a poster or framed document that is at least 11 inches by 14 inches,” the bill reads.

“The text of the Ten Commandments shall be the central focus of the poster or framed document and shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.”

This bill which may soon become law follows a similar bill in Utah, which would allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed, but not required, along another historical document, the Magna Carta.

There are those within the Louisiana senate that view the Ten Commandments as an important historical document due to its great influence on the Founding Fathers and the role it played in the founding of the nation.

“The purpose is not solely religious,” Sen. J. Adam Bass, R-Bossier City, said in front of the senate. “Rather, it is the Ten Commandments’ historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

Meanwhile, the bill’s author, Rep. Dodie Horton, said this came from a place of faith for her, and educating children.

“I’m not concerned with an atheist. I’m not concerned with a Muslim,” she said when asked about teachers who might not believe in the Ten Commandments. “I’m concerned with our children looking and seeing what God’s law is.”

An unofficial definition of integrity is “doing what is right, even when no one is looking.”

The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom about living a righteous life that is pleasing to the Lord, including the guidance in chapter 11 verse three which reads, “The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors will destroy them.”

So when an email was made public from Texas megachurch Lifepointe Church’s Rockwell location encouraging congregants to game a traffic study that was being conducted, it did not sit well with many.

To begin with, the church had hired an engineering firm to work with them and the city to get a traffic light installed.

But instead of waiting for the organic results of the study to come back, an email was sent out to small-group leaders to get the results they wanted.

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

According to Religion News Service, “On Friday (May 10), the church, one of the largest and fastest growing in the country according to Outreach Magazine, sent an email to small-group leaders, urging them to encourage group members to sign up for a driving shift during the five-day study in order to pad the numbers.”

Not exactly an honest approach to the traffic survey, but this is especially concerning coming from an organization that is supposed to carry the name of Jesus Christ and the morals and righteousness that He represents.

“Each shift is a commitment to drive the prescribed route 10 times within that hour shift. It’s great if you make more than 10 laps within the hour, but laps are only counted toward that specific shift,” a leaked copy of the email reads.

RNS reported that shortly after the email went out, and two pastors of the church had signed up as drivers, the email was posted on social media and people did not take kindly to this practice.

In response, the church leadership responded to RNS with a statement saying that one staffer was responsible for the email, and that it was an “unfortunate decision.”

“That decision was made without knowledge by senior executive leadership at Lakepointe and the sign-up list was immediately taken down as we were made aware of what occurred,” Tim Smith, senior executive pastor, said in an emailed statement. “We immediately apologized to our city leaders who made the decision to postpone the traffic count. We are in the process of reaching out to all the leaders who received the sign up and are apologizing to them as well.”

“We regret how this reflects on the body of Christ and its impact in our community,” Smith’s statement to RNS continued. “We love our city and have much respect for our leaders. We will continue to work with the city to make the traffic around Lakepointe as safe as possible.”

It is easy to get caught up in the way of the world, especially when we see people take shortcuts or game systems to benefit from them. It reduces the will to work hard and honestly for something when so many others cheat and get rewarded for it.

But that is the plight of the Christian. To abide by the ways of God in a world that rejects Him and His design. We are called to rise above how the world does things and to abide in God’s power, putting faith in Him to get us through life according to His riches and glory.

We do not need to risk besmirching His holy name for material things or to get what we personally want. We need to rise above the world, and if things do not go the way we want or hope for, then we press on and thank God for giving another day to grow His kingdom and living a life of victory in Christ Jesus.

The cries of American conservatives seem to be ringing true as the current Department of Justice stands accused of being a weaponized two-tiered system.

Activists and rioters for left-leaning causes seem to get little to no jail time, meanwhile pro-life advocates are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by the DOJ.

Such is the case for Lauren Handy and nine other supporters of preventing infanticide.

Handy and her fellow advocates held a “sit-in” at an abortion clinic in October 2020. As reported by CBN News, “They sang, prayed out loud, locked arms in front of the facility’s staff entrance and attached themselves to rope and chains to block doors in the building as a means to ‘delay the murder of kids.'”

Under the Biden DOJ, this is akin to treason against the state, and have charged the activists for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act with “conspiracy to interfere with civil rights.”

Nearly four years after the protest, Handy was sentenced to “57 months or five years in prison, plus three years supervision.”

Meanwhile, those who caused billions in damage during the riots of 2020, as well as anti-Israel agitators who are causing commencement ceremonies nationwide to be cancelled right now, roam free in the streets.

In Jesus’ own words: “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you,” (John 15:18).

Just prior to the court’s ruling, Handy released a statement informing those watching the case that she was “at peace with myself and my future.

“It has been close to nine months since I was abruptly ripped from my community,” she wrote. “This has led me to think long and hard about what to say about my sentencing today in federal court. Some drafts were angry and righteous while most were just a tear-stained longing for my loved ones back home. Yes, this time has been challenging but I refuse to be jaded. Why? Because life goes on… even in jail. So I might as well continue to love and cry and scream and dance. That is joy.”

Outrage rightfully ensued at the news of this harsh sentence for a non-violent and victimless protest.

“Today’s outrageous 57-month sentence for a progressive pro-life activist is a stark reminder: Biden’s DOJ is fully weaponized against pro-life American citizens, and they are using the FACE Act to do it,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said in a statement. “House Republicans should defund the DOJ weaponization, repeal the FACE Act, and stand up for the freedoms that we campaign on.”

Handy has sacrificed years of her own life in the hopes of saving unborn children from a gruesome fate, a fate that will undoubtedly bring God’s judgment upon the wicked who perform such acts.

In the wake of such an unjust ruling, many have begun to realize the Supreme Court’s decision to repeal Roe v. Wade was not the end of the abortion battle, but instead rallied the death-worshipping cultists who now seek to make it legal in every single state for every stage of pregnancy—paid for with your tax dollars.

Maybe this is the wake-up call American Christians need to get back in the fight against the murder of babies and erase one of this country’s greatest sins.

If not, no one should be shocked when God fully removes His hand of protection from us, and allows us to reap the rewards of our sinful nature.

With the recent unveiling of the first official portrait of King Charles III, much of the world recoiled in horror at the blood-red sight of it.

Commissioned by British artist Jonathan Yeo, the monarch is surrounded by red, except for his hands and face, which retain their flesh tones.

Yeo said it is the red of the Welsh Guards uniform that inspired such a polarizing portrait.

“The vivid color of the glazes in the background echo the uniform’s bright red tunic, not only resonating with the royal heritage found in many historical portraits but also injecting a dynamic, contemporary jolt into the genre with its uniformly powerful hue, providing a modern contrast to more traditional depictions,” his website states.

It should come as no surprise that once the world saw the portrait revealed, a wide array of opinions came with it.

“The Portrait of The King has demon faces all over it,” posted podcaster and globalism expert Alex Jones on X.

“TRINITY OF SATAN: King Charles III’s Official Portrait Is Clearly Demonic” he adds in a later post.

Accusations of images of Baphomet within the painting have run rampant on social media, as well as accusations of the image representing the blood spilled by the British monarchy throughout history.

Some have even claimed a connection between the white horse covered in blood that ran through the streets of London recently, a few weeks before the blood-red portrait was unveiled, but these theorists have yet to connect the dots on their theory.

As reported by The Daily Wire, not everyone hated the image, as “Yeo told the BBC that King Charles’s wife, Camilla, was a fan of the finished product. ‘Yes you’ve got him,’ she allegedly said after seeing the painting.”

We’ve all had influences in our Christian walks.

Some good, some bad, and some have been so influential they shape the rest of our lives in how we operate in ministry and the paths we take in life.

No one is immune front outside influence, not even the biggest of the mega-preachers or the smallest of the home church leaders.

We will all be accountable for our actions before the Lord, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn lessons along the way and correct the course on which our ships sail.

Benny Hinn has described the ministry shaping influences and pressures in his life that set him on the path he is still navigating today, and his experiences would certainly resonate with many young preachers who have endured similar situations.

“When I started in ministry it was simple,” recalls Hinn. “Then the ministry grew. I was invited to go to what they call ‘praise-a-thons’ and I think that’s when my troubles began.”

When someone mentions the name Benny Hinn, the first thing that comes to the minds of many is the prosperity gospel and wealth. This is one of the two areas Hinn has admitted to making mistakes in over his years of ministry, and which he says he regrets.

“I don’t blame anyone, but sadly you get in a place [where] it becomes difficult,” Hinn shares. “You don’t know what to do and how to get out of it. So I came to the conclusion in 2019 that I did not want to be part of the gimmickry of it, and I still stand by that.”

Hinn has addressed the path of prosperity and supernatural healings in Christianity before, and the pressure he has felt in ministry as a big-name preacher.

“There is pressure to produce when you’re up there on that platform—especially in healing ministry. People don’t come just to hear you preach; they want to see something. And that can be distracting,” Hinn said in the early 1990’s.

“Things like throwing my coat sometimes get out of hand, and people get their eyes on that rather than on Jesus. Now I want to be more careful that Jesus gets all the attention. Remember what He said: ‘I will not share My glory with another,'” Hinn adds.

Thankfully, even when pressure sometimes gets the better of all of us, we have the inerrant Word of God to help guide us back onto the straight and narrow. It also comes with instructions on how to strengthen ourselves against improper teachings and pressure to perform rather than live out an inauthentic Christian life with passages such as Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

For many parents, the topic of seeing demons often is chalked up to a wild imagination and not a spiritual attack.

And sometimes kid’s imaginations do get the better of them; they are children, after all.

But what happens when children start telling their parents that they are seeing monsters, and insist they are real?

In a recent video, the YouTube channel “Jesse Speaks” shared a video of a mother’s personal experience as a child being tormented by demons, and that her own daughter had such terrifying experiences as well.

Unlike her parents, whom she deemed “lukewarm Christians,” this mother knows the power in the name of Jesus.

“When your children come to you and say they are seeing monsters in their bedroom at night, believe them,” the unnamed mother implores.

As many within the Christian church, and the world, have abandoned the belief in the spiritual realm and the warfare that takes place within it, they have unwittingly opened the doors for spiritual and demonic oppression in their lives.

How? Because they don’t teach what the Bible says about demons, spiritual warfare and our power over them.

“My parents were lukewarm Christians. We talked about Jesus every now and then, but it wasn’t a big topic of conversation. And so as a child, I saw demons,” she continues. “And there were several times in the middle of the night that they would threaten me and they would try to attack me.”

Jesus believed in spiritual warfare and deliverance from the demonic, evident in the Gospels. So why would Christians today dismiss this topic of discussion as preposterous or simply view it as irrelevant, if they even view it as a topic of discussion at all?

“People will discount the spiritual realm. They’ll lock it [away]. So when I took these things to my mom, she didn’t believe me,” shares the mother. “She actually ended up taking me to a therapist, and she asked me what I was seeing. When I told her, she looked at me and she says, ‘No, you don’t see these things.’

“I didn’t feel safe in sharing it with anyone.”

Having these types of negative experiences as a child can keep the spiritual door open not only for parents to be terrorized by demons, but for their children as well. Because there has been no warfare against the enemy attacking them, and without any resistance or pleading of the name of Jesus, the enemy will keep attacking over and over again.

“My daughter is a strong seer in the spiritual realm. She started to see similar things to what I had seen as a child,” she continues. “So I taught her ‘Go! In the name of Jesus.’ She started to understand her authority and walk in it [to] some point now where it doesn’t happen anymore.

“[Parents], please teach your children the power of the name [of Jesus].”

When parents train up their children in the Lord, they will be equipped to fight the spiritual battle that the Bible teaches us is very real. This will require diligence on the parent’s part, but by doing so, our children are exposed to the power of the name of Jesus Christ.

The world is in such turmoil at the moment, it is easy to get caught up in it and get swept away by the deception spreading across the globe.

But amid all of the media attacks on Israel, the university protests calling for the eradication of Israel and even those claiming to be Christians turning their backs on God’s chosen people, Pastor Greg Locke is standing up to all the critics and haters and warns them that they are sealing their own fate.

Locke made his stance known to any who doubted where he stands when it comes to Israel, and that the church is in danger of reaping God’s curse and judgment upon itself.

All because people have forgotten about the Abrahamic Covenant.

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

The Lord God entered into a covenant promise with the first patriarch, Abraham, in Genesis 12 which reads, “Go from your country, your family, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless them who bless you and curse him who curses you, and in you all families of the earth will be blessed.”

Meanwhile, the replacement theory that the Christian church has somehow taken over God’s promises from the Israelite people has infected Christendom and led people into cursing national Israel, essentially sealing their fate.

“The last days division in the ‘Church’ will be between those that unflinchingly stand and support Israel and those who are so woke and non-discerning that they stand with media-infused Palestinian oppression,” Locke wrote in a Facebook post.

“The closer we get to the return of the LORD, the more Israel will be fiercely hated. It’s a fact! It’s a Biblical promise! True followers of Jesus, will do what Jesus taught us to do….STAND WITH ISRAEL. God has not cast off His people, but the lukewarm and weak Church will do just that,” he continued.

Speaking with Charisma Media in an exclusive interview, Locke listed three key reasons why so many have turned against Israel, and opened themselves up to demonic deception:

1. “They’re ignorant of Bible history and prophecy.”
2. “They care far too much about what Twitter is telling them,” which is, “really bogus nonsense.”
3. “They’ve never made a trip to Israel, and they have no idea what they’re talking about.”

Locke points out a particularly interesting take that many anti-Israel rioters have made. They accuse Israel of being “colonizers” and “occupiers.”

But let’s use leftist logic for a second. If European-centric colonialism is bad, then the region of Palestine is in and of itself bad. Syria Palaestina, also known as Roman Palestine, was a Roman province. Prior to this the land was the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. So by the anti-Israel lobby’s own incorrect methodology, wouldn’t that make Palestine and Hamas the oppressors and colonizers from the European (Roman) overlords?

But this is just one drop in the wave of deception that is washing across our world today, and an even bigger indicator of the end times is the world turning against Israel.

“Everything we have from God has a Jewish fingerprint on it. A Jewish Bible, a Jewish Savior, Jesus is not going to come back to Washington, D.C., he’s coming back in the Mount of Olives,” Locke says.

“He’s not going to recreate a new Washington or a new Tennessee, He’s going to make a new Jerusalem.”

Wars and rumors of war. Apostasy. Earthquakes. Famine. Pestilence.

All these things and many others are listed as signs before the return of Jesus Christ.

But before the King of kings makes His return, events on earth must first take place and systems must be set up to prepare the way for the reign of the Antichrist, as short as it will be.

The world is currently lacking strong leadership out of Washington D.C., and conflict is erupting in places that hold significant biblical importance during the end times.

One such place is Sudan.

The African nation has known war and turmoil for a long time, and is in the throws of another civil war seeing numbers of dead, displaced and in need of humanitarian assistance on a scale the Hamas-Israel war could never match.

But few are paying close attention to what is taking place within the country that many believe is a part of the nation of Ethiopia, and is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel as the nation covered much more land than its modern-day counterpart.

Within the turmoil of Sudan lies the terrorist nation of Iran.

As Peter Hoekstra from the Gatestone Institute wrote, “Pocketing Sudan would provide Iran with more oil, gold and rare minerals, as well as another port on the Red Sea from which to continue blocking maritime commercial passage. Sudan would also provide Iran with proximity to Israel, and serve as an additional launching pad from which to swarm Israel with more lethal drone attacks – at least until its nuclear weapons program is complete.”

Who out there is stopping Iran from bringing the war-torn nation into its fold of proxies? The United States? China? Russia? The E.U.?

The Sudanese government? They are currently embroiled in a chaotic civil war and are a known sponsor of terror who may in fact welcome Iran with open arms.

Areej Ehlhad of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy wrote on the Sudanese regime:

“What makes the future in this case darker is Sudan’s history of hosting extremists and jihadists from the far right and far left. During the previous regime, Sudan hosted Osama bin Laden, leader of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and Carlos the Jackal. This warm embrace of violent extremists earned Sudan a spot on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.”

Israel is currently engaged in military conflict with both Hamas and Hezbollah, so it is not a far stretch of the imagination for Sudan to join in an expanded conflict with Iranian proxy groups. But there would have to be reassurances of support from a larger player, like Russia.

For the war of Gog and Magog to take place, the pieces must be put together.

Here are the listed participants of that war:

• Magog
• Rosh
• Meshek and Tubal
• Persia
• Ethiopia
• Libya
• Gomer
• Togarmah

The Bible has a lot of things to say when it comes to success, and it all points to one thing: humility before the Lord.

Commit your work to the Lord, delight yourself in the Lord, keep God’s commandments, humble ourselves before the Lord. All of these commands will reveal God’s blessing to us, but what does actual success look like?

As the Word of God says, man looks at the outside appearance, while God looks at the heart. So we don’t need an expensive suit, fast car or mansion to be successful in God’s eyes, because He wants our obedience and reverence.

After 50 years in ministry, Benny Hinn has experienced a wide spectrum of success and failures in ministry. He recently shared with Charisma Media founder Stephen Strang on the Strang Report podcast what success in ministry looks like to him.

“Jesus,” Hinn says. “If Jesus is glorified, that’s success. Because His presence in our life is what brings results to the kingdom.

“This is why souls are saved. Bodies are healed. Lives are changed. Where He is, there is liberty in you and through you,” he adds.

It has become apparent that in America, the sign of a “successful” church is one that holds sermons in a massive auditorium and has a large congregation. But this is what man looks at, from the outside.

While there is nothing wrong with having a large church in and of itself, it is the focus on what success looks like in numbers that has been skewed in America today.

Take the Asbury Awakening that occurred in February of 2023. This outpouring of God’s Spirit took place in an unassuming college chapel and was led by students. No celebrity speakers, no grandiose events, just a collective of college students who had hearts for the Lord.

Does this mean that the Lord doesn’t move in larger churches? Certainly not, just look at the revival services held by Free Chapel in Gainesville, Georgia, led by Pastor Jentezen Franklin and Evangelist Perry Stone in October and November of 2023.

What started as a Sunday morning sermon turned into two weeks of altar calls, salvations and repentance.

This is what the Lord wants, our hearts. He wants us to die to ourselves and put Him first, and by doing so, we will live a successful life in ministry according to His guidelines, not the world’s.

“And that, I think, is what success is. It’s not about numbers and crowds and money and all that,” Hinn says. “It’s about the Lord in someone’s life. What more can we ask for? He is all in all to us.”
