“God, I want to come closer to you.”

That prayer came after a vacation and before Pastor Sue Detweiler laid her 5-week-old daughter in her crib and fell into bed, exhausted.

“And then my husband headed to the church to be ready for the next morning service. And so I fell into a deep sleep,” Detweiler tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. But her prayer wasn’t the only one that moved mountains that night.

“Suddenly I woke up and Rachel was screaming, and it was a different type of scream,” she says. “I had never heard that type of scream; it was fear. And so I got up, and I am trying to get to a room … a mother knows how to get to her baby’s room. But somehow I got turned around in a closet. And I got all disoriented. … I went across the room; I touched the windowpane, put it up, put my head out and realize that my house was on fire. And I didn’t know how to get out of my room. And I didn’t have the capacity to even get to my daughter.

“And it was in that moment that I dropped to my knees,” Detweiler says.” And I did what everyone—if you’re facing death, you do this whether you know Jesus or not—you just pray that prayer, ‘Help.’

“I was helpless; I could not have found my way out,” she adds.

Right at that time, the Lord sent her husband home. He saw the fire lighting up the sky, the house being built next door burnt to the ground. Running up to the firemen, he asked, “Did you get my wife and baby out?”

They dropped their hoses and ran into the house, Detweiler says. Before long, she and the baby had been rescued and rushed to the hospital, where they had “all sorts of treatment through the night,” she says.

“Finally, in the morning, we called my mom,” she recalls, adding that she was still frantic and emotional, but her mother remained calm.

“You’re the one I’ve been praying for,” her mother said.

“And she had been praying,” Detweiler says. “She had taken time, a month, to fast and pray about Isaiah 43, and part of that is ‘You will go through the fire and you will not be burned; the flames will not continue.’

“And there was a struggle that night; the fire trucks had been stopped by a train,” Detweiler says. “There had been a struggle, and God won the struggle. And He saved us from death.”

“Lord, if you’re the same God today, then why is the church not walking in the power, in the anointing that was displayed in Acts, that Jesus died to give us?”

Dr. Kristi Lemley asked God this simple question with no idea where His answer would lead, she tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. Today, she serves as a presbyter within the Assemblies of God and hosts her own podcast, Living in the Light, in addition to writing and speaking.

“I’m passionate about helping people walk out their purpose with the passion and fire of God,” she says. And that passion grew out of nothing less than personal revival.

“Revival is God’s best for us,” she says. “If we’re not living in revival, if you look at it, it’s like somebody who is dead … you have to put those heart shocks on them, that defibrillator, to bring them back. That’s not God’s best for us. And so I had the Lord just begin in my own heart.

“When I experienced revival—the presence of the Lord is so powerful and amazing,” she says. “And there’s a spiritual awakening, and things in the Spirit just increase when you’re in revival. Yes, miracles, signs and wonders are great, but there’s also a deeper knowledge and love of the Word and sharing who Jesus is with others—because that’s part of our purpose.”

Max Davis was a skeptical journalist living in Louisiana.

Josiah Cullen was a 9-year-old nonverbal autistic boy living in Minnesota.

And when God put them together in a supernatural way, both their lives changed.

“God knew I would get the story out,” Davis tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. And his new book, Jesus, Josiah and Me, shares that story—the story of the prophetic visions and messages Cullen received about Davis, all of which took place without the two having met in person.

Their initial connection came through an author friend who knew Josiah’s mother, Tahni. The first day the friend told Tahni about Davis, her son had a prophetic word for him, typing it into his tablet as his mother asked, “Does this have anything to do with Max?” without mentioning he was an author or anything else about him.

“Lots to do with Max, yes,” he typed, adding some other specific words about Davis’ writing and how God intended to use him in the kingdom.

When Davis’ friend told him about this message, he responded with his typical skepticism, he says. But after pressing her more, he was convinced: Josiah was real. And God was at work in powerful ways.

“Over the next 3 1/2 years, I got over 20 pages of messages, sovereign messages from this boy with information that nobody could know, not even his mother,” Davis says. And all of them, he adds, were intended to share the story that is “ultimately about Jesus and Him being fully present in our lives and leading people to the gospel.”

“It was an oppressive experience. We couldn’t wait to get out of there.”

And he almost didn’t, Pastor Robert Jeffress tells host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. During the Cold War era, he served as a youth director, and he and his wife took their youth group on a mission trip to the former Soviet Union.

“We were going to depart Moscow at midnight for a flight to Rome,” Jeffress says. “And so we got to the airport. And as the leader, I sent all the kids and sponsors through passport control first … And so I was the last one to go through. And I reached for my passport, and I couldn’t find it. I mean, I was frantically searching my pants pockets, my coat pockets. They were calling our flight.

“I explained to the Soviet guard that I was the leader, and I needed to get through,” he says. “He couldn’t have cared less: ‘No passport, no departure.’ And my wife—we had just been married one year—she was on the other side, she’d gone through, and she started crying, imagining me in a Russian gulag for life.

“And at the very last moment, a friend who was standing with her started laughing, reached into his pocket and pulled out my passport,” Jeffress says. “He had taken it as a joke. … I never will forget the relief I felt when I went through that turnstile to a place of freedom, because I had the right passport.”

Jeffress reminds listeners, “The Bible says that there be many people in the judgment, they will try to argue with God that they ought to be allowed into heaven, ‘Did we not perform miracles and cast out demons?’ and Jesus will say, ‘Depart from me; I never knew you.’

“And that’s why it’s so important that we have the right passport to get into heaven,” Jeffress says. “It’s not a passport that’s stamped ‘Catholic’ or ‘charismatic’ or ‘Baptist’ or ‘Methodist.’ The only passport that will get you into heaven is one that is stamped ‘forgiven’ by Jesus Christ.”

How can I hear from God? How does He speak to us? How can I know it’s Him?

These common questions come from believers of all ages. We believe God speaks, but we’re not sure how to know we’re truly hearing from Him. And yet the Bible tells us His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27).

Prophet Kent Simpson says during his days as an investment banker, he met many people who were multimillionaires. “I’d ask them, ‘How did you get into this walk of money that you have?'” he tells host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network.

“And they’d always start out saying, ‘Well, I had this gut feeling. I just had this idea. I just had this hunch,'” Simpson says. “Well, come to find out, what they were talking about is the Holy Spirit gave them guidance and direction on how to get what they were looking for.”

Simpson says he realized people were calling the Holy Spirit “a gut feeling,” and most were missing that these insights came from the Lord.

Most people, he says, think you can only hear God audibly. But “hearing God comes in dreams, visions, signs, wonders. I’ve even had him speak through billboards to me.”

Simpson adds that God can also speak through the Bible. “He can make those Scriptures leap off that page and go right into your spirit and make you full of what is being said in that Word.”

But we can’t learn to hear God by textbook, Simpson explains. “Hearing God is something you have to experience on your own. Because just like parents who have more than one child, they’re not going to communicate to one child the same as they do the other. … And that’s what Jesus does. He will speak to you in the area of your personality, who you are, where you’re reaching.

“And so when we start seeing these things begin to develop in our life, He directs you in a path that He has you go,” he adds.

“Mother Teresa, with all due respect, don’t you feel like a failure?”

That’s the question former Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., had for famed missionary to India Mother Teresa many years ago.

He went on to clarify what he meant.

“There’s a sea of poverty outside your doors; you can’t possibly succeed in helping all the people in Calcutta,” he said.

Mother Teresa looked at Hatfield and said, “My dear senator, God did not call me to be successful. He called me to be faithful.”

“Success is not the goal,” says Richard Stearns, former 20-year president of World Vision and prior leader in the secular business world. That’s why he shares this moving story with Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network and in his latest book, Lead Like It Matters to God.

“I think with those words, Mother Teresa turned inside out the leadership paradigms that we are taught in our business schools and in our academies, because Mother Teresa was saying, ‘God doesn’t care about your success, the title on your business card, the size of your bank account; God is interested in your character, your faithfulness to Him,'” Stearns says. “And if you’re faithful to God—and that’s the thesis of my book—and you take your character, your Christian character, to work with you, that’s what real success is.”

The death of Luis Palau of lung cancer at age 86 on March 11 sent reverberations across the globe. Many mourned alongside the wife and family of the famed evangelist, who took the gospel to more than 1 billion people during his lifetime.

Renowned worship leader Matt Redman had a special connection to Palau, and that connection moved Palau’s family to ask him to sing at his memorial service, livestreamed on Saturday, March 20. But Redman did more than sing—he composed a brand-new song for the occasion, “Home at Last.”

Redman’s connection with Palau stretches all the way back to a London soccer stadium where his mother took him to hear the evangelist at just 10 years old. Redman says Palau was “this Argentinian fireball—the preacher with so much charisma and heart and passion, and it really resonated with me. I’d already been to church, but I’d never heard the gospel presented like this. He told us what of Christ had done at the cross, but he also majored a lot on the Father-heart of God.

“And that really impacted me because I’d lost my father,” Redman says, “He actually took his own life when I was 7 years old.” That night, Redman gave his life to Christ. He later met Palau, who called himself Redman’s spiritual father, and ended up leading worship for his crusades more than once, including as part of a mission to New York in both Times Square and Central Park.

When Palau’s doctors said he had only days to live, his family asked Redman to participate in the memorial service. He had some time alone one day, he says, and he saw a Charles Spurgeon quote that said, “I shall reach my home at last.”

“And I thought, That’s it. That’s the song,” Redman says. “And so this song just came out; I wrote this song. It says, ‘Beauty for ashes/ glory for tears/ when we reach our home at last/ Gladness forever/ no more fear/ when we reach our home at last.” And it goes on to talk about the glories of heaven and seeing Jesus face to face.”

When Redman received the text that said Palau was with the Lord, he realized God had given him the song just hours prior to the evangelist’s death.

“So I ended up singing that at the funeral, and it was just such a privilege to be able to stand there and honor this man and his family, but also to celebrate what God had done through him, just through simple obedience,” Redman says. “And the thing that struck me more than anything was the fact that passion never, never died down; the flame never went out.”

“The apostle Paul talks about ‘outwardly, we’re wasting away, but inwardly, we’re being renewed day by day,'” Redman says. As Palau fought cancer, Redman says, “It is very clear his body was wasting away, but inwardly he was being renewed. And I thought, He’s just as alive as he ever was in the Spirit, and the way he’s talking about Jesus and the way he’s preaching heaven.

“And I thought that was such a special thing,” Redman says. “That isn’t the way of this world. In most things in this world, they fade or they fail at some point, or they’re never quite as bright as they once were. That’s not the case for the Christian. And that’s not the case for this Argentinian evangelist who had this fire for Jesus that wasn’t ever going to go out. And it’s just the most beautiful thing.”

God called her to the front lines. And she didn’t want to go.

“I’m perfectly fine being behind the scenes,” Gypsy Dallas Smith, whom God has called to the mountain of media, tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. “I don’t worry about what people think about me or what they’re going to say. … I want to be obedient with what God is asking me to do,” she says of the Voices of Hope ministry she and her husband founded. “And I want to be faithful. But I don’t want to feel like I’m ever trying to strive to be somebody that I’m not.”

“Fear has always been something that’s gripped me for most of my life, and so that’s been a hard one for me—just trust learning to trust the Father and being obedient,” she says. “And so I constantly have to keep myself in check and make sure that I’m not operating out of a spirit of fear. … [Fear is] a human, natural human emotion; fear can save your life. But there’s a difference between the human emotion of fear and the spirit of fear that controls your thoughts and your actions.”

And Smith has advice for others who struggle with fear, either of being in the public eye, as she did, or something else: “Absolutely do it afraid.”

“From my experience, people say, ‘Well, I don’t have peace about it; I don’t have peace about it,'” she says. “Here’s the thing: From my own experience, anytime God has ever asked me to do anything, it scared me a little. In fact, it scared me a lot. Because it caused me to get outside of my comfort zone and to depend on the Father and not on my own strength. So I would encourage those listening to just do whatever it is that God’s asking you to do, and do it afraid. Stop being the weapon formed against yourself.”

“If you’ve got an atmosphere where there’s radical self-expression, the Holy Spirit is radically self-expressive.”

That’s what Cindy McGill , evangelist, author and podcast host, says about her commission from God to take the message of the gospel through the power of dreams into the most unlikely of venues. She and her teams have gone everywhere from the Burning Man Festival to porn conventions, she tells host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network.

“God asked us to go,” she says of the porn conventions. “And you know, there’s a difference between going and being sent. And I felt like God was sending us, and I had a small network of women—women who are moms, who are grandmothers, who are people who have daughters and have grandchildren. And I thought, We’ve got people in there in this arena, who feel that no one loves them … because of their behavior, because of what they’ve gotten themselves into. They feel dirty; they don’t feel like they belong, or they feel they don’t feel like God would ever reach into them, into their hearts.“

McGill says her team entered the porn convention using what she calls the “fishing lure” of dream interpretation. “We went in there as the dreamers,” she says. “And as we did, we would have just a few moments with these girls who had gotten themselves into this type of life. And we realized that most of them had been abused since they were young.

They told the young women, “We’re dreamers; we come every year. We’d just like to interpret your dream for free. We just want to be able to give you a little insight or another pair of eyes on a dream you might have had when you were young.”

That led to some amazing God-conversations, McGill says. “They would begin to open right up to us and talk to us and tell us a dream they had, which then gave us a little window into their life and what they were really meant for. … through the telling of their dream, and they opened up to us, we said, ‘Well, this is what you’re meant for; the life that you’re living now, it’s what you’ve settled for. But this is what you’re really made for. And God has a plan for you. And He has a purpose for you. And He has a design and a rich, fulfilling life for you. And He loves you right where you are, in all the choices that you’ve made. But He wants you to begin to move into a new road, a new pathway, a new way.”

“And we had so much favor,” McGill adds. “God anointed us to say, ‘You’ve got a brand-new start; let’s get you into your new life.'”

Charisma published an article on July 3, 2019, in which I suggested Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman could be the prophesied Antichrist.

The article, titled “Is the Antichrist Now on the World Stage?” has well stood the test of time. The dragon of Revelation 12 (clearly a description of Satan) assigns full authority to a beast rising from the sea taking earthly control of all political systems impacting the Holy Land. This beast is no respecter of persons or of deities other than the dragon, and the beast’s rule is absolute—the ultimate authoritarian.

How is it that one such man could command worldwide influence and authority? In answer, there is an obvious scenario. We are instructed by Ephesians 6:12 that “our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

Anyone totally committed to spiritual forces of evil, even if unaware of it, is an obvious candidate. Such power derives not only from earthly influences but from those dark powers temporarily tolerated by God in His great mission to institutionalize total freedom of choice throughout His everlasting kingdom. There can be no freedom of choice in a system that doesn’t offer both rights and wrongs.

I won’t repeat all the reasons I earlier selected the crown prince as my candidate. The proofs are manifold, and can be retrieved quickly here.

A Huge Question

In one of his most astounding moments these past few months, the prince set an industry record by paying $450.3 million for a Leonardo da Vinci portrait of Jesus Christ. Nearly a half-billion dollars for a painting! At first blush, one might question his sanity. But we suspect a much deeper, devilishly clever rationale.

Daniel 11:36 prophesies the rise of a demonic king who “shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak blasphemous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished. For that which is determined shall be done.”

How fitting! Prince Salman is gradually throwing off the restraints of conservative mullah dictates, including those of his ailing father King Salman. He has introduced significant reforms in women’s rights, Saudi educational systems, tolerance of Christian traditions such as permitting Christmas celebrations, a general loosening of social “speech laws” and much more. He also engineered a new rapport of several Arab countries with Israel, an effort he still leads.

In tandem with the liberalization of Islamic laws and practices, he is flirting with the Western world in an outlandish manner. In July 2019, according to The New York Times Magazine, he was invited by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to visit the school as an honored dignitary. The article also called attention to the Saudi state’s financial ties to “at least 62 other American universities.”

One grand tour, according to the article, included a private session with then-President Donald Trump, who received him cordially. The prince next rented the entire 285 rooms at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills and hosted numerous luminaries such as media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

A City Dominated by Robots?

In pursuing his dream of building a “magical world” on the shores of the Red Sea (driven by artificial intelligence technologies), Prince Salman is working deeply with Stanford University and others to create a new $500 billion world-class economic, scientific and technological city on the shores of the Red Sea, “comprising the world’s finest minds and leading companies, not to mention a million inhabitants.”

According to journalist Wael Hussein in a report on the main contractor, Neom Company, the city’s first phase will be completed by 2025. The 5-year-old Saudi-owned company was formed specifically for this one project. Very significantly, several of the company’s managing directors are women (unheard of in much of the Arab world).

Work has already begun with a commercial airport, staff residences and offices now in operation. Neom has also awarded contracts to build and operate three new residential areas for construction workers with a capacity for 30,000 people. Though difficult to verify, one Saudi website claims the company comprises up to 5,000 people assigned to the project.

Neom’s founders also claim the city will be so advanced that robots will outnumber humans. The corporate website boasts: “NEOM is not about building a smart city, it is about building the first cognitive city. Everything will have a link with artificial intelligence. Amongst other things, it will also be a state-of-the-art center for advanced manufacturing and medical innovation, spearheading genetic engineering efforts to improve the human body.”

In this writer’s estimation, the promise of genetic engineering advances is the scariest aspect of this other-worldly city residing for the moment primarily in the prince’s overblown imagination.

An Impressive Deception

All the above being said, it is clear the soon-to-be king of Saudi Arabia is wooing the Western world by establishing liberal rule in the ancient society. True to the prophecies in the books of Daniel and Revelation, he is rejecting all gods. The rulers over Saudi Arabia having always been leaders in the teaching, practices and enforcement of Islam, but Mohammed bin Salman is certainly going astray through his progressive romance with a “pagan” world.

By buying and hanging a half-billion-dollar painting of the Christian God in his palace, he is also playing to gain at least attention of the world’s single-largest religious population. With controlling power over the price and supply of world oil stocks, accompanied by a presumed general acceptance among billion Christians, along with billion Muslims and 15 million Jews, he certainly is building a huge platform from which to launch a good shot at gaining general supernatural influence over the rest of the planet as well.

The prophesied head wound has already been delivered via his mysterious rise to power as the sixth son of the sixth Saudi dynasty bearing a sixth sense of inner destiny ushered in by the tragic deaths and disappearances of senior rivals—all of it exacerbated by the recent ritualized death of journalist Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi. But these trespasses have been largely forgiven and forgotten. President Biden’s nascent efforts to chastise the prince are mere window dressing for public consumption. The world’s dependence on Saudi oil prices and supply dominate all such discourse.

It doesn’t hurt that Saudi Arabia is also the world’s largest buyer of U.S. military equipment and weaponry.

Despite the current slaps to the wrist, the wound to the head of the Arab world continues to heal, and the prince remains in active control. The next scene in Revelation is the arrival of the second beast, who magnifies and celebrates the first through powers of vile darkness. I doubt the wait will be long in duration.

The Arabian prince of this world, enervated by the prince of darkness, sees no personal barriers to total control. He has the inheritance of hundreds of millions in personal bank accounts, prime ownership of the $330 billion annual revenue oil company Aramco, the inherited influence of royalty, the youthful energy and intellect, hubris and moxie in proportions translating to unlimited self-confidence. Whatever he imagines, he has the means, the self-assured legitimacy and the ruthlessness to accomplish it.

As Shakespeare might say: “The world is his oyster and ripe to be swallowed up!”

Considering he headed the Saudi armed forces while barely out of his teens, Salman might justifiably view his inherited horizons as unlimited. The saga is unfolding quickly, and those of us watchmen blessed with the knowledge of what is happening must step up our sounding of the shofars.

The end times are here. {eoa}
