President Joe Biden sparked furor among people of faith at a recent rally in the deep-red state of Florida.

While on stage with Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, who lost to former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in the 2022 primaries by double digits (Crist then went on to lose to Gov. Ron DeSantis by double digits as well), bemoaned the state’s six-week abortion ban.

With DeSantis winning the Florida governorship by the largest margin in 40 years, including the formerly blue Miami-Dade county by 11 points, Democrats in the state have turned to abortion as a way to try and gain back the massive amount of votes they have lost in the free-state of Florida.

“We come back here to the state of Florida, where Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president, so 15 weeks wasn’t good enough,” says Fried. “We had to go to six weeks.”

During Fried’s comments, Biden, standing next to her, performs the Sign of the Cross.

As reported by Fox News, “The Sign of the Cross is an ancient expression of piety that has existed since at least the third century and is commonly used by Catholic and Orthodox churches as a form of blessing.”

Predictably, members of the Catholic Church which Biden claims to be such a fervent follower of, were infuriated by this gesture while discussing the killing of human babies.

“Biden’s use of the Sign of the Cross in support of abortion is a disgusting insult toward all Christians, but especially of Catholics whom he claims as his own,” President of CatholicVote Brian Burch said to Fox News Digital after the event went viral.

“The Sign of the Cross is a sacred gesture used by believers to bless themselves, ask forgiveness or to protect them from temptation. Instead, Biden has turned this ancient Christian practice into an endorsement of abortion extremism,” he adds.

This hammering by Catholics comes on the heels of another leader within the church calling Biden “stupid” the week before his abortion faux pas.

“I don’t have any anger towards the president. I feel sorry for him. I’m not angry at him, he’s just stupid,” said Bishop Robert Gruss of the Diocese of Saginaw. “It’s not stupidity in the derogatory way, it’s stupidity in the sense of […] he doesn’t understand the Catholic faith.”

If Biden did understand his Catholic faith, he would know that it is vehemently against the termination of life inside the womb, an act that he and his administration has supported with what could be called “demonic fervor.”

In a recent episode of the Strang Report podcast, prophetic voice Chuck Pierce shared profound insights about the current geopolitical landscape surrounding Israel, the current spiritual course the United States is on, and the prophetic significance surrounding the events taking place in the world today.

Pierce’s message was clear: America has two years to realign with God’s covenant plan.

The discussion began with the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the attacks on Israel by Hamas and Iran. Pierce emphasized the gravity of these events, stating, “this attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, has now dragged on six months… Israel, in my opinion, has to defend itself, and yet the world seems to be turning against Israel.” He points to the importance of Israel in God’s plan, referring to Israel as “the central covenant choice for Him to display His will in the earth realm amongst the nations.”

God’s Love for Israel

Pierce highlighted God’s special relationship with Israel, referencing the Hebrew Scriptures to emphasize God’s love and protection for His chosen nation. In Isaiah 49:16 (MEV), it is written, “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.” This verse illustrates and confirms God’s unwavering commitment to Israel, always watching over and protecting them putting to rest the argument that Christians have somehow replaced Israel as opposed to being grafted into the tree of salvation with them.

The very birth of the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy according to Pierce, saying, “Could a nation be born in a day? There’s no other people on Earth that was dispersed in the same way that Israel has been for almost 2,000 years and then reemerged.” He recounts the miraculous survival of Israel against numerous attacks throughout its history, highlighting God’s protective hand over the nation.

Warnings to America

The warning to America was stark and urgent. Pierce stated, “God said America, I’m going to give you two years to make choices to realign with my Covenant plan.” He shares concern over America’s shifting stance towards Israel, noting a growing anti-Israel sentiment since the Oct. 7, attacks. Pierce urged Americans to recognize the importance of their choices, reinforcing the old adage that “elections have consequences.”

Scripture warns about the consequences of cursing Israel. In Genesis 12:3, God says to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” This verse serves as a powerful reminder of God’s promise to protect and bless those who support Israel and the dire consequences for those who oppose or harm them.

Global Geopolitics and God’s Plan

Pierce also delves into the intricate relationships between Iran, China and Russia, emphasizing their impact on global geopolitics. He points out China’s emerging role in the world and its relationship with Iran, stating, “I think Iran would prefer China to become that world power, [and] God showed me that is possible by 2026.” He highlighted the growing dependency between Russia and Iran for weaponry, noting the changing dynamics in the Middle East.

Pierce then mentions signs from God, such as the recent eclipse on Apr. 8, as messages urging nations to align with His plan. He stated, “I actually believe that was a sign when the moon and the sun aligned and that path formed across America that the Lord said ‘I’m giving America a new path if they’ll choose in the next two years.”

The prophetic warning from Chuck Pierce serves as a wake-up call for America and the global community. It underscores the significance of aligning with God’s covenant plan and supporting Israel, God’s chosen nation. As believers, we must heed these warnings, pray fervently and align our actions with God’s Word.

Let us remember the words of Isaiah 62:1, “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet.” As Christians, let us stand with Israel, pray for our nation’s alignment with God’s will, and trust in His promises of protection and blessing.

Netflix’s newest sensation is captivating audiences worldwide with its three-part docudrama, “Testament: The Story of Moses.” Currently at the top spot as the most-watched streaming show, the series chronicles Moses’ remarkable journey from an outcast in exile to a revered prophet and leader.

Narrated by actor Charles Dance, the series offers more than just a retelling of familiar biblical tales. It delves deeper into Moses’ life, uncovering lesser-known aspects and presenting a richer understanding of this pivotal biblical figure. Interviews with experts are seamlessly woven into the narrative, providing insightful commentary on the complexities of Moses’ story.

Producers Emre Sahin and Kelly McPherson were drawn to exploring the nuances of Moses’ life, moving beyond the grandiose events like the burning bush, the plagues, Passover, the parting of the Red Sea and the Ten Commandments. They focused on Moses’ internal struggles, his journey of self-discovery, battles with self-doubt and his inherent humanity, offering a more relatable and humanizing portrayal of the prophet.

The success of “Testament” on Netflix is particularly noteworthy given the platform’s broad range of trending content. Joining other faith-based films like “Jesus Revolution” and “The Chosen” on the trending list, “Testament” continues to build momentum for faith-based offerings on Netflix. The series is paving the way for more innovative and thought-provoking content that resonates with audiences seeking deeper spiritual narratives.

In contrast to other Christian-based faith films, “Testament” offers commentary from all three of the Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

All three episodes of “Testament: The Story of Moses” are currently streaming on Netflix, inviting viewers to delve into the profound and timeless story of one of history’s most influential figures.

The Enduring Importance of Moses to Christians and Jews

Moses holds a significant place in the hearts and minds of both Christians and Jews. For the people of Israel, Moses is not just a historical figure but a foundational leader who played a pivotal role in their liberation from slavery in Egypt and the establishment of the covenant with God at Mount Sinai.

His obedience to the Lord, despite facing numerous challenges and doubts, serves as a powerful example of faith, resilience, and commitment. Christians often view Moses as a precursor to Jesus Christ, seeing parallels in their roles as saviors and leaders who guide their people towards spiritual freedom and redemption.

For Jews, Moses is revered as the greatest prophet and lawgiver, who received the Torah directly from God. His teachings and commandments form the basis of Jewish law and ethics, shaping the religious and cultural identity of the Jewish people for millennia.

Today, the story of Moses continues to inspire and resonate with believers of both faiths. His journey from a reluctant leader to a fearless prophet reminds us of the transformative power of faith, the importance of obedience to the Lord’s guidance and the enduring legacy of a life lived in service to God and humanity.

The recent passing of Mandisa Hundley, known to many as simply Mandisa, has left a hurt in the hearts of family, friends and fans worldwide. As authorities continue their investigation into her unexpected death, the focus remains on celebrating her remarkable life—a life marked by faith, resilience and triumph.

To date, the Franklin, Tennessee, Police Department has ruled out any “suspicious or criminal activity.”

Born in California, Mandisa Hundley’s passion for music led her to Fisk University in Nashville, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music in 2000. Her talent didn’t go unnoticed; soon after, she found herself working as a session and backup vocalist for renowned artists like Trisha Yearwood and Shania Twain.

In 2005, Mandisa captured the nation’s attention with her audition on “American Idol.” Throughout the competition, she not only showcased her incredible gospel vocals but also stood firm in her Christian faith. Despite facing criticism, notably from Judge Simon Cowell about her weight, Mandisa responded with grace and forgiveness, saying, “I’ve forgiven you and that you don’t need someone to apologize in order to forgive somebody.”

Her resilience and faith continued to guide her through life’s challenges. Mandisa openly shared her struggles with weight, which she described as “a hindrance my whole life.” Yet, she turned these challenges into opportunities for growth, using them as motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle. Her faith played a pivotal role in this transformation, teaching her about obedience to God and viewing her body as a temple.

However, Mandisa’s journey was not without its trials. She faced personal losses and traumas that tested her faith and led her into a three-year depression. Yet, with the support of friends and faith communities, she sought counseling and gradually found her way back to joy and purpose.

In 2022, Mandisa released her memoir, “Out of the Dark: My Journey Through the Shadows to Find God’s Joy,” where she courageously detailed her struggles with depression. Through her book and interviews, she aimed to spark conversations about mental health and encourage others to seek help and support.

Her music also reflected her journey of faith and resilience. Songs like “It’s Not Over,” sung with Jasmine Murray and Rita Springer, served as anthems of hope and encouragement. Mandisa believed that God was still writing her story and that He was not done with her yet.

“God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in my weakness,” she often said, echoing the comforting words of 2 Corinthians 12:9. Mandisa’s life exemplified the transformative power of faith, forgiveness and perseverance.

While we mourn the loss of this talented artist, we also celebrate her legacy—a legacy of faith, struggle and victory. Mandisa’s life serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the sustaining power of faith in God.

As we remember Mandisa, let us hold onto the hope and comfort found in the words of Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Mandisa’s many fans around the world can find solace in knowing that she is now in the arms of her Savior, experiencing the eternal joy and peace she so deeply believed in.

In a recent interview with Charisma News, Byron Stinson shared his firsthand experience of God’s protection over Israel during a missile attack from Iran.

Stinson, currently in Israel, recounted the event, saying, “When Iran sent missiles into attack Israel just a few days ago… I slept nine hours, and when I got up, it was the most peaceful morning that I’ve experienced here in a long time.”

Despite the ongoing threats and attacks, Stinson emphasized his unwavering faith in God’s protective hand over Israel. “I’ve been here in Israel for many years, and there’s been many attacks of rockets… but what I look for is how many actually hit something. In 2014, out of 5,000 rockets, only one hit something,” he shared.

Stinson is also deeply involved in bringing red heifers to Israel, which have garnered global attention. He sees these red heifers as a physical manifestation of biblical prophecies. “The red heifers, this perfect red heifer, caught the world’s attention… God intends to bring about a physical kingdom of God on Earth,” Stinson says.

While many hoped the red heifer ceremony would occur soon, it has faced delays. Yet Stinson remains optimistic about its occurrence in the future. He stressed the importance of global unity and understanding between Jewish and Christian communities, saying, “We’re called by the Word to be one tree… These physical things are there to help us start really delving back into the Torah and understanding Hashem, the God of Abraham.”

Stinson and a team from Oral Roberts University are working on live-streaming the red heifer ceremony to the world. He believes this event will be a pivotal moment aligning with biblical prophecies. “I just had… a gentleman from Oral Roberts University… they intend to help us livestream the event when it happens to the entire world,” Stinson shared.

Johns Hopkins School of Education’s upcoming launch of a “Homeschool Hub” has stirred apprehensions among homeschooling advocates, particularly those with a Christian viewpoint favoring homeschooling over public schools.

Financed by supporters of taxpayer-funded private and home education, the new initiative has been seen as a move toward greater government oversight of homeschooling. The United Nations has urged governments to use tax money to support “non-state education providers” to enforce “equity” goals and national testing.

The Newman Report highlighted leaders’ concerns about this development, describing it as a “clear and present danger” to homeschooling.

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

As reported by Alex Newman with Harbingers Daily, “The reason why leaders of the homeschooling movement have been largely united on the issue is simple. They believe control and regulation by government will be the inevitable result of taxpayer money—especially since this is what the historical record shows. Concerns about dependency and expanding the size and scope of government exist, too.”

Dr. Angela Watson, the hub’s creator, stated, “We need a better understanding… My hope is that the Homeschool Hub will help fill these needs.” This comes despite existing resources like the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI), which oppose government involvement in homeschooling.

The hub aims to “remove barriers to rigorous research, increase transparency and encourage evidence-driven policy.” Critics caution that “transparency” often means more surveillance and control.

The website also raises concerns about “unregulated” homeschooling, mentioning risks of “indoctrination” and conservative Christian parents possibly “isolating” their children.

On Apr. 25, the Homeschool Hub will host an event titled “Beyond the Traditional Classroom: The Rise of Homeschooling and Its Impact on Education in America.” Panelists include university officials, a World Bank adviser, a Washington Post education reporter and a senior U.S. Department of Education official, none of whom are participants in the homeschooling sector.

Johns Hopkins’ partnership with EdChoice, a group advocating for “school choice” and tax funding for homeschooling, adds to the concerns.

As homeschooling gains momentum amid a failing and hostile public school system, debates over government funding and regulation will likely persist, keeping homeschooling advocates on alert.

The U.S. Bill of Rights, Amendment I: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

With the freedom of religion a part of the bedrock on which the United States of America was built, the battle taking place between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and The Satanic Temple is nearly certain to go to the court system.

But what exactly are they fighting over?

Recently, DeSantis signed into law HB 931, “establishes a statewide school chaplain program” according to the Florida government.

Parents will be involved and the program is voluntary, but the caveat is that DeSantis recently said, publicly, that TST will not be allowed in schools.

“Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program, that, somehow, you’re going to have satanists running around in all our schools. We’re not playing those games in Florida,” DeSantis says. “That is not a religion. That is not qualified to be able to participate in this. So, we’re going to be using common sense when it comes to this. You don’t have to worry about it.”

The Associated Press reported on Apr. 25, 2019, that TST had provided them “with a notice it recently received communicating its new tax-exempt status. The letter used a code that classifies it as a ‘church or a convention or association of churches.’

“This should be of significant concern to anybody, regardless of their own religious views,” TST co-founder Lucien Greaves told Fox News Digital. “Worse, in signing HB 931 into law, the governor simply announced, from the podium at a press conference, that satanists were to be considered unqualified for the school chaplaincy program while citing no legal theory to support his view.”

In the wake of his public rebuke of TST, their executive director of operations, Rachel Chambliss, has challenged DeSantis to a public debate over freedom of religion.

Satanism has been making headway in being displayed in government, with several states displaying satanic imagery on their capitol grounds in recent months.

As Charisma News reported, Navy veteran Michael Cassidy tore down the satanic image in the Iowa state capitol and is currently facing hate crime charges for it.

Though Gov. DeSantis is not alone in his thinking, with the IRS’ designation of TST as a religious organization, the protection of the First Amendment will almost certainly play the deciding role in the expected future lawsuits.

But if the conflict does go before the court system, it would be up to the DeSantis team to prove that the IRS made a mistake in TST’s designation and in turn, keep Satan’s influence out of Florida schools.

The spiritual warfare taking place in America is in full-swing, and the nation is suffering the repercussions of adopting ungodly morals and ethics.

By turning against the principles of the Bible which this nation was founded on, violence, crime and corruption have taken hold in the United States and is fighting to maintain its grip.

In response to this, Christian worship artist Sean Feucht has announced a “Jesus March for Israel” to be held on Thursday, Apr. 25, at 6:30 p.m.

The location is none other than a member of the once prestigious Ivy League, Columbia University in New York.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Feucht shared the few details about the upcoming event, such as time, place and mission (worship, prayer and blessings).

Waving Palestinian flags and many carrying the symbol of Hamas, radical, terror-supporting extremists have effectively shut down the university campus with students and faculty currently operating remotely, and as of Monday morning, riot police have arrived on scene removing some of the protesters.

Currently, supporters of the riots, as well as the mainstream media, have attempted to paint the anti-Semitic actions of the students and outside agitators as peaceful. Meanwhile, videos of the rioters reveal their calls for more events like the Oct. 7, massacre which saw over 1,200 Israelis brutally murdered, countering the “peaceful protesters” claims.

In an episode of “Table Talk” hosted by Joni Lamb, guest Joseph Z shared prophetic insights the Lord revealed to him for the years 2024 and 2025.

Z shares that 2024 will be a year of justice, encouraging believers to persevere even in challenging times. Z introduced the concept of “diamond seeds” as a divine reward for those who have faithfully served and sacrificed, even when their efforts go unnoticed.

Additionally, Z mentioned hearing phrases like “the roar, the war and more,” indicating potential challenges ahead. He emphasized that this could be a pivotal time for America, presenting a renewed opportunity for national repentance and spiritual renewal, or facing significant trials.

Furthermore, Z noted a shift from an era of grace to an era of mercy, attributing this change to the recent overturning of the Roe v. Wade ruling in favor of principles aligned with Christian values.

Here is a breakdown of the words that Z received from the Lord to share in the upcoming season:

1. Diamond Seeds: “I began to see people that had sowed in tears. People that had paid the price when nobody was looking. How their character was through a difficult season, difficult times. I began to watch them press in and pass test after test after test when nobody was applauding, nobody was there. Whether it was sickness, whether it was hardship, whether it was relational, whether it was financial. And the Lord began to speak to me and say, these are like seeds that go in the ground under great pressure and duress but they will come back like if you put coal in the ground it’ll come back as a diamond, and they’re diamond seeds,” Z shares.
2. The Valley of Decision: Z shared that the Lord showed him a door opening and after a short period of time, the door would slam shut, and this is indicative of what is heading for America. “The Lord said that will be the valley of decision where America, specifically America, will either go the way of Nineveh or it’ll go the way of fire, but either way America will change. It’ll either repent and repair, or it’ll bow to its knees through fire, but there will be a new America,” Z says.
3. Mercy in light of Roe v. Wade: “We’ve gone from a time of grace to a time of mercy because of Roe v. Wade being overturned,” Z explains. “That there was a federal overturning of Roe v. Wade and because of that, the Lord said federally I will hold this together with mercy. nation does not deserve it, but God has seen many people turning to him and saying “Help Us Lord.” People getting baptized [and] turning to the Lord. He hears that.”
4. The Rise of the Maccabees: Just as in the time of the Maccabees, Z shares that there will be those who take a stand against the onslaught of darkness trying to take over the land. New voices will be raised up by the Lord and will say “no more” to the evil that is saturating cultures around the world.
5. America has one more round: “Young lions are coming and that’s generation Alpha. Alpha’s coming. Generation Alpha, they’re not going to be like some of the other people that have played patty cake with the way the world has run things. They’re not going to get all caught up in the minutia of ignorance and ideologies that just make people weak. Generation Alpha is going to live up to its name. …They [are] going to they’re going to come through this, and it’s going to be powerful. They will be the thing that induces the Reformation,” Z says.

In a recent bewildering article, Fox News, which often prides itself on offering to the right side of the political spectrum faith-based content, has decided to publish an article extolling the virtues that adulterers hold fast to (just not marriage).

Fox News did a deep dive into the world of Ashley Madison, a website for married people to cheat on their spouses, and examined a recent survey conducted by the online adultery service whose slogan is “Life is short. Have an affair.”

Perhaps in an attempt to mitigate the image of those who cheat either once or perpetually in their marriage, the article highlights all the areas where the participants in the survey wouldn’t cheat, demonstrating that “See? They aren’t such bad folks after all.”

Except the Bible has strong words for those who would wade into the waters of adultery.

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

Let’s start with arguably the most prominent and to-the-point verse in the Bible on adultery: Exodus 20:14. It says, and I quote, “You shall not commit adultery.” A bit on the nose, as it is one of the Ten Commandments and gives us an in-depth look at how God views such acts.

Moving forward, the Bible also provided us with examples of the judgment that comes on those who commit such acts, and what better example is there than David, a man after God’s own heart?

David not only committed adultery, but was the mastermind behind the murder of Uriah, the husband to Bathsheba and the woman with whom David committed adultery with. Second Samuel 12 shows us that after Nathan the prophet pronounced the Lord’s sentence upon David, he turned a repentant heart before the Lord. While the Lord of course forgave David, he still suffered a punishment for his actions, both murder and adultery, and the life of his child was taken.

But sadly, this article that Fox News is promoting to untold numbers of people, as it is one of the largest news corporations in the world, diminishes this harmful act and lists activities the cheaters on Ashley Madison wouldn’t cheat on before cheating on their marriage (taxes, job applications, phone provider and much more).

Is marriage worth less than changing phone providers or regular coffee order?

The article even quotes Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable saying that “going through an affair resulted in a stronger marriage with their spouse, opening up the lines of communication and ultimately improving their lives both sexually and emotionally.

“What surprises more than anything, is that society continues to hold onto the belief that monogamy should be the default setting for all marriages,” Keable says.

That’s because this nation was founded on Christian morals and beliefs, Paul.

Here’s a short list of what the Bible says about monogamous and biblical marriage some can’t quite seem to understand:

• Hebrews 13:4: “Marriage is to be honored among everyone, and the bed undefiled. But God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.”
• Proverbs 6:32: “But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul.”
• 1 Corinthians 6:9: “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals…”

Not to mention the words of Jesus who addressed adultery as well as the Levitical laws which holds a harsh punishment for adulterers. (Hint: it’s death.)

The writer of this article may have never had the intent of promoting adultery in this way, but intentional or not, it does. It also degrades the sacred institution of marriage, which as anyone who has been paying attention to culture for the last few decades, has been under constant attack alongside the nuclear family.

Satan wants to destroy the institution of marriage and replace it with his own warped and corrupted version of that which God ordained. As these days present darker practices than the times before them, we know that the Word of God is as true today as it ever has been, and the world is in desperate need of the truth and righteousness held within it’s pages.

There is hope to be found in Jesus Christ, and with Him comes a cleansing of our sin and unrighteousness. But just as David experienced, there also comes a time of judgment when we turn away from the tenets of God and instead embrace the path of destruction.{eoa}
