Mike Huckabee: Hamas Driven by ‘Most Demonic Forces Ever Unleashed’

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told CBN News that the ongoing conflict with Hamas is not only geopolitical but spiritual, calling the terrorist group “demonic” in its actions and intentions.

“It’s not because of Israel. It’s because of Hamas,” Huckabee said about the length and brutality of the war. “Israel would love for this to have ended on October the 8th of 2023, but Hamas stubbornly wants to inflict as much suffering as possible, not just on Israel. They don’t mind inflicting suffering on their own people, which they have done.”

Hostages and Gaza Campaign

Huckabee said Israel has been left with no choice but to push deeper into Gaza after Hamas repeatedly stalled hostage talks. “Hamas will walk up to the table and pretend they’re going to make some type of deal that would let the hostages go and then they always walk away and then they add new conditions,” he said.

He added that the president has been clear about the conditions to end the war. “Two things had to happen. One, all the hostages come home. Not some, all of them. And the second thing he said is that Hamas has no future in Gaza. They’re going to have to leave.”




Europe’s Push for Palestinian Statehood

Huckabee criticized recent efforts in Europe to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. “It was the most insane thing when the European countries did this. First of all, it’s a violation of the Oslo Accords. So that’s a problem. They can’t declare a Palestinian state. They just can’t do that,” he said.

He argued that the push “empowered Hamas and emboldened them” while undermining chances for deescalation. “What they are accomplishing is the polar opposite of what they say they want.”

Media Bias and Public Opinion

The ambassador acknowledged Israel’s struggle in the war of public opinion, blaming both media bias and misinformation. “The monolithic media is so against them,” Huckabee said. “United Nations puts out whatever they say through the quote Gaza Health Ministry, that’s Hamas. They’ll issue numbers and stories, the UN then publishes it without verifying any of it. Every network pretty much in the world will carry it as if it’s so.”

He said Israel must do more to reach younger generations. “I tell them to get a bunch of social media influencers because the real problem is with Generation Z. That’s where they’re losing ground and that then affects as it bubbles up to generations above.”

A Spiritual Conflict

Beyond politics, Huckabee described the struggle in stark spiritual terms. “Most people view this as a battle between Hamas and Israel. There’s something much deeper going on,” he said. “This is a battle of the ages. This is not horizontal. It’s not left, right, liberal, conservative. This is a vertical battle. It’s heaven versus hell. It’s good versus evil.”

He said the atrocities of Oct. 7 proved Hamas’s nature. “What Hamas did was a level of evil the likes of which you just look throughout all history and would be hard pressed to find anything like it. Where does that come from? It comes from an evil that originates from the most demonic forces that have ever been unleashed on this earth.”

Call to Prayer

Huckabee urged Christians to continue praying for Israel. “The scripture tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And I would say that there’s a reason that that’s in the scripture. Because we should pray for the peace of Jerusalem. If there’s peace in Jerusalem, there’ll be peace around the world.”

He added, “Prayer will change things. But prayer also always changes the person who is praying. That’s why we pray.”

Nephilim Deception Threatens Believers: Why Only Jesus Provides Victory

The Nephilim are not just ancient figures from Genesis. They are real and active today, working through portals and spiritual deception to draw people away from God. Their presence underscores the reality of an unseen war raging around humanity.

On The Big Picture podcast, host Larry Ragland spoke with Tony Merkel of The Confessionals podcast about how these beings operate. Merkel described how dark entities recruit individuals into allegiance. “Some people are recruited by entities to pledge allegiance to them. And when some people say yes to it, it sets their life on a different path,” he said. “I’ve never come across anybody who said no that was recruited more than once.”

These Nephilim and their spiritual counterparts are not united. Merkel said, “Though they are against ‘big G’ God, they got their own little quarrels amongst each other.” Their infighting does not lessen their danger but reveals a kingdom of darkness filled with chaos.

At the center of their strategy is deception. “The Bible says that the devil is a liar, the father of lies. There’s no truth in him. When he fell, he lost the ability to process truth. He knows what’s true but he can’t process what’s true,” Merkel explained.

Their goal is not to raise Satan worshipers but to keep people from following Christ. “I don’t think Satan cares if you’re a Satan worshiper or not. I think he cares if you’re a Jesus worshiper or not,” Merkel said.

Citing Ephesians, Merkel reminded listeners that this war is structured and organized. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood. We’re fighting principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places,” he said.

Ragland emphasized that the reality of portals and Nephilim activity is part of God’s larger revelation. “There’s more going on in this world than what you can see, hear, taste or feel,” he told viewers. “Your senses will not identify it. It’s the spirit realm.”

The two confirmed that spiritual warfare is not symbolic or metaphorical but a present reality. The Nephilim and demonic forces are active, operating through deception and portals to ensnare humanity. For believers this war demands vigilance, faith and a steadfast commitment to Jesus who alone gives victory over the powers of darkness.

From Weak Words to Spiritual Weapons: Kelly K Reveals the Power of Prayer

Have you ever felt like your prayers were falling flat? Pastor Kelly K says many believers treat prayer like a powerless routine rather than the life-giving connection it was meant to be. Using relatable illustrations and biblical truths, he challenges Christians to move beyond simply saying “in Jesus’ name” to actually living in His name.

“Have you ever felt like your prayers were about as powerful as a dead cell phone without a charger?” he asked. “Maybe it’s because we’re treating in Jesus’ name like a Wi-Fi password instead of a lifestyle.”

Kelly warned against the habit of attaching Jesus’ name to the end of prayers as if it were spiritual “fairy dust.” He said, “News flash, saying the phrase in Jesus’ name is not the same thing as living in that reality. Oh son, you better bet. There’s a difference.”

According to him, praying in Jesus’ name is not just about using words but about surrender. “To actually be in His name, you got to be in Him. And you know what that means, right? That means surrender. That means counting the cost. That means Jesus isn’t just your emergency contact. He’s the one running your life.”

Kelly reminded his listeners that Jesus did not give His life just to get people into heaven. “Would Jesus give His life for you to get to a place? I don’t think so. He gave His life so that you could get to a person, His father. My father. Your father.”

He explained the biblical order of prayer: “We pray to the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in us through Jesus. To the Father by the Spirit through Jesus. That’s the chain of command.”

When believers truly live surrendered, their prayers take on new strength. “When you are truly in Him, your prayers will stop sounding like weak begging and they’ll start to sound like heaven’s business getting handled on earth,” he said, pointing to John 15:7, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done.”

Kelly clarified that this doesn’t make God a genie. Instead, it transforms the heart of the believer. “If you are in Christ, you won’t even want what you want anymore cuz God will put His desires in your heart. You traded hearts with the father. So now, when you are in Christ, your prayers carry His authority.”

His closing words were a call to action. “Don’t be out here fairy dusting in Jesus’ name. Live in His name. Full surrender because that’s where the power is. That’s when prayer stops being religion and starts to become a relationship. And that’s when your prayers turn into a weapon.”

4 Types of Leaders That Rise in Times of Crisis

Leadership has always been central to God’s plan for His people. From Moses guiding Israel through the wilderness to the apostles leading the early church, the Bible is full of examples of individuals called to step forward with courage and conviction. Leadership is not just about holding a title but about answering God’s call to act decisively in times of need.

Pastor Travis Johnson recently shared a message on the importance of biblical leadership, drawing from the story of Deborah in Judges 4 and 5. In his sermon, Johnson outlined four kinds of leaders found in Scripture and how their qualities continue to apply to the church today.

1. Decisive Leaders
Johnson began with Deborah herself, describing her as a model of decisiveness in the face of chaos. Quoting Judges 5:7, he said, “There were few people left in the villages of Israel until Deborah arose as a mother for Israel.” Johnson explained that “your destiny is in the hands of decisiveness. You have to be able to make a decision.” He emphasized that indecision is costly, pointing to Israel’s oppression under King Jabin and Sisera for 20 years before the people finally cried out to God. Deborah’s willingness to act set her apart as a leader who brought clarity and direction.

2. Collaborative Leaders
Next, Johnson turned to Barak, who partnered with Deborah when called to lead Israel into battle. He described Barak as the example of a collaborative leader who understood his own limitations and leaned on Deborah’s prophetic guidance. Johnson noted, “If you can recognize your blind spot and you can partner with someone that can help you make decisions, now you’re blessed.” This style of leadership demonstrates humility and the strength that comes from working together under God’s direction.

3. Courageous Leaders
The third type Johnson identified was the courageous leader, represented by Jael. Judges 5:24 praises her as “most blessed of women” for striking down Sisera when he sought refuge in her tent. Johnson highlighted her boldness, saying, “Courage. Courage. And we need a little bit more of that.” He stressed that courage often comes in moments when plans are uncertain but the opportunity to act is clear. Jael seized the moment to deliver victory for God’s people.

4. Indecisive Leaders
Finally, Johnson addressed the negative example of the tribe of Reuben, who failed to join the fight. Judges 5:16 records, “Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks?” Johnson warned, “It’s not just what you do in the moment that God is breathing and moving. It’s also what you don’t do.” He called indecision “incredibly expensive” and urged Christians not to delay obedience when God calls them to act.

Johnson closed his message with a call to action for every believer, reminding them that leadership is not reserved for a select few. “If you are a Christian, you are a leader,” he said.

The story of Deborah and the leaders around her illustrates that godly leadership can take many forms but always requires faith and a willingness to act. Whether in the church, the family, or the broader community, leadership rooted in Scripture has the power to change lives and point people back to God.

Mysterious 5,000-Year-Old ‘Fairy Houses’ Discovered Among Ancient Ruins

Strange discoveries keep surfacing around the world that seem to hint at connections between archaeology and the supernatural. From tales of giants in ancient texts to mysterious ruins with unclear origins, each new find sparks wonder about what our ancestors believed and why so many of their stories involve beings beyond the natural world.

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

Archaeologists in Italy have added to that intrigue with the unearthing of three ancient “fairy houses” on the island of Sardinia, Fox News reported. The discovery was announced July 29 by the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Provinces of Sassari and Nuoro.

Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Provinces of Sassari and Nuoro

The “fairy houses” known as domus de janas date back more than 5,000 years to the late Neolithic and Copper Age. According to local folklore, the chambers were imagined as dwellings for magical beings. “This new discovery enriches knowledge of the domus de janas – tombs carved into rock that often reproduce, in relief, details of the houses of the living and symbolic decorations linked to magical-religious rituals,” officials said in their statement.




Before this excavation, researchers had uncovered 17 of the tombs. With the three new finds the total now stands at 20. Officials explained that “the characteristics of the ground between [two tombs] … suggested the presence of a new, as yet unexplored tomb.”

Among the discoveries were pickaxes, a spindle whorl, a small greenstone axe, obsidian fragments and pottery shards. The most complex tomb, called the Tomb of the Roman Vases, held a painted wall band and more than 30 Roman-era ceramic pieces including plates, oil lamps and jugs, all described as “in excellent condition.”

Together the tombs are part of the Sant’Andrea Priu archaeological complex, which was recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Finds like these show how folklore and archaeology often walk side by side. What earlier generations called fairy houses may have been tombs, yet the legends remind us that ancient people may have been preserving memories of things they truly encountered and not just stories they imagined.

Why Christians Must Stand Against the Growing Assisted Suicide Agenda

The issue of assisted suicide has been pushed forward in legislatures across the United States with the claim that so-called “safeguards” will protect the vulnerable. Advocates promise that only adults of sound mind facing terminal illness would ever qualify, and that strict oversight would prevent abuses. But the evidence shows otherwise, and the expansion of euthanasia in Canada stands as a grim warning of where this path leads.

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

In a recent Boston Globe opinion piece, columnist Jeff Jacoby addressed this growing crisis, citing reports from UnHerd and The Atlantic. “When physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia are legalized, guardrails soon collapse,” Jacoby wrote. He pointed to cases in Colorado, where a 29-year-old woman in a severe mental health crisis was still given lethal drugs, and to states like Washington and Oregon that have loosened rules to the point of allowing “suicide tourism.” Oversight, Jacoby argued, is “threadbare” and violations are ignored with impunity.

The situation in Canada has spiraled even further. Jacoby noted that when Parliament legalized “medical assistance in dying” in 2016, it was limited to competent adults with terminal illness. Less than a decade later, MAID now accounts for one in 20 Canadian deaths. “In Quebec,” Jacoby highlighted, “more than 7 percent of all deaths are by euthanasia — the highest rate of any jurisdiction in the world.” Cases include a quadriplegic man who sought death after developing a bedsore and an ALS patient who chose euthanasia because she could not secure enough government-funded home care. “The lesson could not be plainer,” Jacoby warned. “Legislators may promise ‘state-of-the-art safeguards,’ but those promises are illusory.”

This debate is not merely political. The sanctity of life is rooted in the Word of God. Scripture affirms that life is a gift from the Creator, not something to be disposed of when suffering comes. Psalm 139 declares that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” with our days numbered by God before even one of them comes to be. Job refused to curse God and take his own life even in unimaginable pain, instead confessing, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Assisted suicide turns medicine on its head by asking doctors to become executioners rather than healers. It also rejects the biblical truth that suffering can have meaning and that God alone holds the keys to life and death. As Jacoby put it, “A decent society does not enlist physicians to end lives; it strives to relieve suffering while upholding life’s inestimable worth.”

The push for assisted suicide in places like Massachusetts shows that this debate is not abstract. It is an immediate moral test. Christians and all who value life must stand against this practice, defend the vulnerable and remember that God’s gift of life is precious and worthy of protection.

Earthquake Swarm in Nevada Raises Fears Over Ancient Supervolcano

The year 2025 has already seen an unusual amount of earthquake activity worldwide, leaving many to wonder if there is a deeper meaning behind these tremors. From devastating quakes overseas to swarms in the United States, questions are being raised about whether these shaking events are only natural or if they point to something more.

Northern Nevada has been rattled by a series of earthquakes that has some residents and online observers worried about what may come next. According to the US Geological Survey, “a 3.7 and earthquake were recorded Tuesday morning just after 9:30am ET.”

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

The pair of quakes struck about 30 miles from Valmy, a small town near several active fault lines. In the past week alone, 38 earthquakes were recorded around the region, including a event on Saturday. While most quakes between 3.0 and 5.0 are only strong enough to cause minor damage, the number of swarms has captured attention.

Order Jonathan Cahn’s Newest Book, “The Avatar” on !

The Daily Mail reported that “the swarms were likely driven by tectonic forces along the fault systems of the Basin and Range Province.” Yet some online voices are pointing to the nearby McDermitt Volcanic Field, a massive ancient caldera that formed 16 million years ago. The earthquakes have occurred less than 75 miles away, prompting speculation about a possible eruption. One social media account with over 83,000 followers claimed that Nevada’s swarm could even set off “a major earthquake in California.”

Scientists are working to ease public concern. The McDermitt supervolcano is classified as dormant, and there is no evidence it is reawakening. NASA explained, “The Earth’s crust in the Basin and Range Province is gradually expanding, cracking into hundreds of faults as it thins.” This stretching of the crust is what makes the region one of the most seismically active in the nation, not underground magma chambers.

Looking at the Signs

For believers, these events serve as a reminder of what Jesus told His disciples. In Matthew 24, He warned that “there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” Earthquakes, along with other natural and societal upheavals, were described as signals that the world is moving closer to His return.

These signs are not meant to drive fear but to inspire vigilance and faithfulness. Just as the Nevada swarm highlights the fragility of the earth beneath our feet, Scripture points us to the unshakable foundation found in Christ. For Christians, the call is to live watchfully, share the gospel, and find hope in the promise that “when you shall see all these things, you know that it is near, even at the doors” (Matt. 24:33).

Blood Moon, Feast Days and UN Meetings: Why September Has Prophecy Watchers on Alert

Talk about the month of September has swept across Christian watch communities, with many pointing to celestial events, Jewish feast days and Middle East tensions as possible prophetic signs. For some, the coming weeks are charged with expectation about the rapture of the church and global shifts that could fulfill Bible prophecy.

On his Watchman River podcast, Tom Cote acknowledged the heightened focus on this month but urged balance. “Many are saying this is the month of the rapture,” Cote said. “Anyone who’s watched me for any length of time knows that I’m excited every single day. I’m no more excited today than I was yesterday and I will be no more excited tomorrow than I am today.”

He pointed to the Jewish feast days as particularly noteworthy. “Am I excited about September 23rd, Rosh Hashanah? Yeah. And every day leading up to it and I’ll be excited after it if it doesn’t happen that day,” he said. Cote added, “If I ever put my hope in a date and that date passed, I’ve never done it. I won’t put my hope in a date. Only my hope in Jesus because his timing is so perfect.”

Key events this month

Cote listed multiple September markers drawing attention in prophecy circles. Among them are a blood moon eclipse on Sept. 7, a partial solar eclipse on Sept. 21 and the fall equinox on Sept. 22. He also noted that the 80th United Nations General Assembly opens this month and may push Israel toward a two-state solution.

“I’m keeping a close eye in these last days on the Middle East,” he said. “It looks like it’s getting ready. It could boil over at any time. Once again, you know, Israel did quite a few attacks over the weekend.”

To frame the speculation, Cote asked listeners to weigh in using a food analogy: “Is September a big juicy burger in regards to eschatology and perhaps the rapture of the church or the starting of the seven-year tribulation… or is September a nothing burger?”

Call for discernment

While many point to September as a month of prophetic significance, Cote reminded his audience to anchor their hope in Christ. He expressed support for watching and waiting but resisted speculation tied to dates. “I won’t squash anyone’s excitement over them watching and looking and waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of Jesus Christ our savior,” he said.

As believers look at the signs of the times, discernment is essential. Scripture warns against setting dates for the return of Christ, affirming that no one knows the day or the hour. The call remains to stay watchful, prayerful and ready, fixing hope on the Lord’s timing rather than the calendar.

Europe Mobilizes for War as Jesus’ Warnings Come Alive

The headlines in Europe are no longer whispers of possibility but open declarations of preparation for war. France is ordering its hospitals to brace for a flood of wounded soldiers, Germany is sounding alarms about Russia’s next moves and governments are mobilizing their people to be ready for large scale crises. For those who study biblical prophecy, they know this is not just politics or strategy. Jesus warned of “wars and rumors of wars” as a sign of the end times, and these preparations reveal how nations are paving the way for a coming world leader who will promise peace but bring deception.

France Orders Hospitals to Prepare for War as Europe Braces for Rising Tensions

Hospitals across France have been told to prepare for what officials call a “major engagement” by March 2026 amid fears of a continental conflict. Documents revealed by French newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné show the French Ministry of Health directing medical facilities to ready themselves for an influx of wounded soldiers.

The directive urges hospitals to “anticipate, prepare and respond” to the potentially huge number of injured, including foreign military patients who could need urgent treatment in civilian hospitals. Officials stressed the importance of merging “defense needs” into everyday health planning. A ministry statement noted, “Among the risks identified is the hypothesis of a major engagement where the health issue would consist of taking care of a potentially high influx of victims from abroad.”

Germany has also raised the alarm. Chief of Defence Carsten Breuer warned about Russia’s Zapad 2025 military drills in Belarus, saying there is “no indication” that President Vladimir Putin will use the exercises as cover for an attack but added, “We will be on our guard.”

The preparations are not limited to hospitals. Earlier this year the French government distributed a 20-page survival manual outlining 63 different measures for emergencies, including war, natural disasters and nuclear incidents. Citizens were encouraged to join reserve forces or local defense units. A spokesperson from the Prime Minister’s office said the guide is designed to bolster “the resilience of populations in the face of all types of crisis, whether natural, technological, cyber, or security-related.”

While these steps are presented as practical measures of national defense, they reveal a larger trend. Europe is openly preparing its populations for war, and governments are taking steps that could grant them greater control over civilian life. This fits into the warnings of Scripture, showing how global turmoil can be used to usher in the authority of the Antichrist.

These developments are reminders not of despair but of hope. They point to the fulfillment of prophecy and the soon coming of Jesus, urging us to remain watchful and steadfast in faith.

Erasing the Church: Evangelicals Facing Brutality from Oppressive Regime

A new documentary sheds light on the persecution of evangelical Christians in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.

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

Colby Barrett, executive producer of “A Faith Under Siege,” traveled along the front lines, from Kharkiv to Kherson, interviewing dozens of believers who have faced violence and oppression. Despite Russia’s public identity as a Christian nation, evangelicals such as Baptists and Pentecostals have been singled out, viewed as foreign or American faiths and therefore as potential threats to Russian control.

The report highlights alarming statistics that show disproportionate targeting. Hundreds of Protestant churches have been destroyed or looted and nearly half of the religious leaders killed in the conflict have come from Protestant communities, even though they make up only a small percentage of the Ukrainian population. The film also documents the abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children, many of whom were taken into Russia or placed in military camps.
