Recently, Mike Signorelli, lead pastor of V1 Church in New York City, downloaded a pair of significant prophetic words from the Lord for the body of Christ as we go further into the end times and head toward the Second Coming of Jesus.

The first spoke of the separation of vultures and eagles among the leadership in the body, and he explained that the “vultures” are feasting on “dead things,” which he believes is symbolic of dead church systems, dead ideologies, dead mindsets and dead wineskins.

The second vision God gave Signorelli, a part of the deliverance group known as The Demon Slayers, was hauntingly related to the first and warns again about false prophets and those who use the ministry for their own personal gain instead of the desire to bring lost souls into the kingdom.

“In my second vision I had, I saw that a lot of times, when people hunt big game, they’ll stuff and mount the head,” Signorelli says. “If you’ve ever been in in someone’s office, for example, they may have, like the head of a deer. Well, I walked into an office in the spiritual realm. And I saw the heads of mighty and powerful men and women of God stuffed and mounted. And I said, ‘Lord, this is such a gruesome sight, what could it possibly mean?’

“And the Lord told me that we’re coming into an era where men of God and women of God are going to use other men and women of God for personal gain, for influence, for finances, for the advancement of their career. I’m not calling it a ministry. But it’s a career and there are people that do ministry for the income, not for the outcome. There are people that do it.

“Maybe a percentage of their motive is pure, but another percentage of it is striving or their own personal strategy versus the wisdom and strategy of God. So again, I want to warn everybody just because you see someone increasing in influence, it doesn’t mean that they’ve been approved by God.

“Jesus Himself, as He was being baptized by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit came like a dove and actually gave the words of confirmation. ‘This is My Son, in whom I’m well pleased.’ It’s possible to increase in influence and increase in popularity, but not increase in approval in favor of God, even though you may have the favor of man.”

Signorelli says God hates that behavior, and that’s why you see in the pages of the Bible, time and time again where God brings people through a long process of humility to preach His Word and to live it sincerely. Jesus Himself had more than three decades of preparation for three years of ministry.

“Beware of anybody who wants three years of preparation for three decades of success,” Signorelli says. “God is putting people through a process, and some people are trying to fast track that process through being opportunistic and using other people. So, keep your eye out. Does the minister that you follow on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube have a traceable spiritual lineage?

“In other words, can you tell me who their pastor is? Can you tell me who their apostolic oversight is? Who corrects them? Who rebukes them? Have they ever publicly apologized for something that they’ve preached previously, that they now have come into an understanding that they were either myopic, or a little off? Or [do] they demonstrate a level of humility to say, ‘I got it wrong in the past? Let me correct it.'”

A third indication of these “false prophets” and selfish leaders is their friendships—or lack of them—and their ability to stay in one place for a long period of time.

“Do you see them consistently going back to the same place as a minister, or are they always onto something new?” Signorelli asks. “Are they always obsessing over the new?”

Signorelli says that there are many teachers to choose from, and many believers subscribe to a great deal of their social media channels, which has become a popular practice. But that doesn’t mean that you, as a believer, should listen to all of them.

The apostle Paul taught a similar lesson in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 4:15:

“He [Paul] said—and this is the way he put it—you have many teachers, but you only have one spiritual father, because I brought you to the faith,” Signorelli said. “And what Paul was trying to do is help people understand that just because you can subscribe to a lot of channels on YouTube doesn’t mean you should listen to all of them. Just because you can follow a lot of people on Instagram doesn’t mean that they’re following Christ as you’re following them.

“And so I think it’s important, and I certainly hope you don’t hear any of this as me thinking that I’m better than anybody, but just know that I’ve submitted myself to a process of rebuke and correction and reproof and people getting into my business. Quite frankly, not every minister has that same standard for accountability. And that’s dangerous.

“We’re all going to be operating in some measure of error over the time serving in ministry. But the question is, are we correctable? Are we moldable? Are we teachable? Or do we operate in a rogue spirit? Or, do we operate in self-will instead of God’s will? Do we operate in a little bit of pride and rebellion and you can sense that on the life of somebody? Just be aware of vultures versus eagles, and be aware of stuffed and mounted heads of ministry leaders in this next season?”

The lead pastor and founder of V1 Church in New York City, Mike Signorelli was recently given a pair of prophetic visions from God, the first of which he says is very important for Christians to keep in the forefront of their minds in the coming season.

He also said this powerful prophetic vision has been confirmed by two other prophets within the body of Christ, including Alex Pagani.

In this vision, Signorelli says he saw a separation between eagles and vultures in the kingdom.

He explains:

“What that means is that obviously, eagles, they fly high,” Signorelli told Charisma News’ John Matarazzo in an exclusive interview. “God is calling people to higher dimensions of authority, higher dimensions of influence. Also, we know that eagles, they feast on living things. And so, you’ll see them dive down into the waters and grab a fresh fish.

“But then, I saw the contrast between eagles and vultures. And vultures, what they do is they feast on dead things, which I think is symbolic of dead church systems, dead ideologies, dead mindsets, dead wineskins. They’re feasting on old ways of doing things that are not from God. Maybe they were for a season, or maybe they never were theologically or doctrinally sound, and yet people have refused to unlearn [them]. And so, they’re feasting on dead things. And, and there’s a distinction being made between eagles and vultures in this season.”

The biggest thing to consider here, Signorelli says, is that it is very difficult to discern the difference in kingdom leaders and the leaders of your local church. The enemy can be very deceptive and the two—eagles and vultures—may appear to be the same in their teaching.

Signorelli encourages believers to remain in prayer as to which they are actually seeing and listening to.

“If you’re looking at the two, the original vision from behind shows you that a vulture and eagle may look like the same thing until it turns its head,” Signorelli says. “And there are some of you that, because the leaders are up ahead of you, you haven’t seen them and the fullness of who they really are in the Spirit. You see them flying. You see that they have feathers and there are different attributes that would liken them to an eagle. But they’re in fact not an eagle. They’re a vulture.”

The process of discernment—determining false prophets and real prophets—isn’t all that difficult, Signorelli says, and the solution isn’t a new one. It’s one that has been recommended for nearly two centuries.

“So, I just want to caution you, I think that there’s a need more than ever for Christians to read their own Bible because what will happen is as you begin to become a student of the Word, and as you begin to develop intimacy with the Holy Spirit, you won’t have to watch heresy-hunter channels on YouTube to determine who’s false and who’s real. You won’t have to read blogs to determine who is false and who is real. You will actually be having a real relationship with the Holy Spirit and a real relationship with Scripture, which will help you deduce what is real and what is not.”

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released its 2023 American Worldview Inventory earlier this year. According to that study, over 69% of Americans identify as Christians.

In a nation beset by a major culture war—with issues such as racism, the debate over transgenderism, a split view on the controversy of abortion—one might think a number like that would be encouraging.

However, when you read further into the research document, a most telling statistic arises. Only 4% of Americans share a biblical worldview—revealing a discouraging percentage of people who filter the decisions of their lives through the Word of God. A biblical worldview, by definition, is a means of experiencing, interpreting and responding to reality in light of biblical perspectives so that each choice you make is consistent with God’s principles and commands.

So, the fact that only 4% Americans share a biblical worldview can only mean one thing: God’s true remnant is shrinking, the message of Luke 21:26 and 2 Timothy 3:1-6 are coming to pass:

• “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and looking after those things which are coming on the earth” (Luke 21:26).
• “Know this: In the last days perilous times will come. Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, slanderers, unrestrained, fierce, despisers of those who are good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying its power. Turn away from such people” (2 Tim. 3:1-6).

But is this the fault of “so-called Christians” themselves? Maybe not.

Bishop Garland Hunt of The Father’s House Atlanta wrote in The Christian Post, that “Unfortunately, the culture is shaping people more than the church. Where there is no biblical worldview, there is no repentance, no contrition, brokenness or redemption.”

A nationwide survey of American’s Christian pastors, published by the Cultural Research Center at ACU, revealed that a majority of pastors lack a biblical worldview. In fact, just slightly more than a third (37%) possess a biblical worldview.

Even more disturbing is that a majority—62%—hold a hybrid worldview known as Syncretism, which is defined by Merriam-Webster as: 1. The combination of different forms of belief or practice; and 2. The fusion of two or more originally different inflectional forms.

Jesus said in John 14:6-7: “… “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Isn’t as simple as that? If more than 60% of American pastors nationwide hold this Syncretism view, is it any wonder that less than 5% of Americans share a biblical worldview?

Many Christian leaders believe that America is primed for revival, but statistics show a lack of reverence for God and His Word coming from the pulpit.

Hunt wrote in The Christian Post:

“As it says in Isaiah 57:15, our hearts much be contrite and filled with humility. We need to cry out to [the] Lord and surrender to Him. To do this work, church leaders must disciple and train its congregants to have a biblical worldview—and live a life that is fully surrendered to God with the Bible as their foundation.

“However, pastors and leaders must first possess a biblical worldview—and a posture of reverence for God’s Word, no matter what man says. The direction given must be biblical. If we cry out to Him, with a hunger and willingness to be broken, God will do a mighty work in us.

“The results of this study should jar us but not surprise us—as we can look around and see the rotten fruit from our collective disobedience. It is my hope this insight will move us all to swift action—to examine our hearts, our families and our churches—and come up with a plan of action to help us adopt a biblical worldview—and, get us ready for revival, individually and corporately.”

Preach a biblical worldview or conform to the culture. Kingdom leaders, it’s up to you. {eoa}

There is a court ruling that not many teachers or school officials have even remotely heard of, and while it won’t overturn the Supreme Court’s ruling in 1962 that school-sponsored prayer in public schools violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment, it will give Christian parents and Christian students hope for the future.

It’s called Released Time Religious Education, where the United States public school system is required to set aside, during school hours—typically an hour a day—for students to receive off-campus private education.

Some more good news was reported recently by . The state of Texas took a big step forward in promoting the values and beliefs of the Christian faith by advancing a bill that requires the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

The bill, introduced by Texas State Representative Dan Flynn (R), has garnered support from many Christian leaders and educators who see the importance of instilling moral values and ethics in the next generation.

In 1952, a New York released time program was challenged in the United States Supreme Court with the case of Zorach v. Clauson. The Supreme Court upheld the school’s cooperation with the program so long as the Released Time classes occurred off school grounds, with parental permission and without public funding.

The Court also held that the program did not violate the U.S. Constitution because it did not amount to an “establishment of religion.”

The program is done with parent approval, and it recognizes and reinforces the constitutionally protected right of parents to direct the religious education of their children.

In 1914, Dr. William Wirt, an educator and superintendent in the Gary, Indiana school district, established the first “released time” program, in which 619 students participated in off-campus religious education. says that Dr. Wirt “believed that church, home, playground, library and school were all components in a child’s education,” and Released Time grew and flourished.

Joel Penton, an author and founder of LifeWise Academy in Ohio, recently wrote a book that took an in-depth look into both why religious education was removed from America’s public schools and how he and his group would use Released Time to help further the preaching of the gospel for students.

In an interview with the Christian Post, Penton said: “I talk to people every single day that are in the know and never heard of this. That’s how I was. The truth is, for most school officials, this is news for them as well, meaning they have never heard of Released Time.”

In some states, the program has yielded tremendous benefits. In 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit upheld a South Carolina law that allowed schools to award academic credit to high school students who participated in the Released Time programs. That same year, the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit affirmed the U.S. District Court’s ruling in Moss vs. Spartanburg, upholding a school district’s policy of award credit for the program to high school students.

Since the Moss decision, several other states have allowed academic credit for Released Time program participation, including Alabama, Tennessee, Utah and Ohio. estimates that there are ore than 500 Released Time programs in operation today involving hundreds of thousands of students from elementary to high school.

Penton says this future-changing movement is growing faster than anyone could have imagined. You can learn exactly how your community can get started today at . {eoa}

of the most influential evangelical leaders in the world, Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, has joined an exceptional list of world leaders who have received the Friends of Zion Award during a ceremony this week at The Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

The Friends of Zion Award was commissioned by the ninth president of Israel and former International Chairman of Friends of Zion, Shimon Peres. It has been given to over 22 world leaders, including former U.S. President George Bush, former U.S. President Donald Trump and former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.

Jeffress says he never expected to be so honored.

“Never in a thousand years would I have dreamed that I, too, would receive this award,” Jeffress says. “I thought the high point of my ministry was saying that opening prayer for the dedication of the embassy in Jerusalem, on that historic day. But this beats even that, so thank you so much for this prestigious honor.

“I was actually in the Oval Office with President Trump when he received his award and I know how much it meant to the President. I spoke with Mike Pence last night, and he said that this was one of the high points of his career, receiving this prestigious and coveted award. I am honored to receive the Friends of Zion Award today in Jerusalem from an incredible organization dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism and supporting Christian friends of Israel.”

The Friends of Zion Heritage Center was established in 2015 in Jerusalem. Dr. Mike Evans, Founder of the Friends of Zion, a best-selling author and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee for a lifetime of combating anti-Semitism, sang Jeffress’ praises for his dedication to Israel.

“He is without a doubt, one of the most influential evangelicals on the globe and without a doubt, one of the most pro-Israel,” Evans said.

Jeffress says that the connection between Jews and Gentiles, especially in these end times, is a crucial one and that the United States must continue to stand with Israel through this challenging period in history.

“I truly believe It’s important to visit the friends of Zion Museum because it is a reminder of the link between Jews and Gentiles. You see how in key moments in history, Gentiles stood with Israel whenever nations wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

“My prayer is that USA will continue to be on the side of Israel. The Bible shows us that he who is on the right side of Israel is on the right side of history, and most importantly, the right side of God.” {eoa}

On April 21, when Tucker Carlson spoke out against the demonic forces at work in our culture, he was soon fired from his anchor post at Fox News.

But Jonathan Cahn, author of “The Return of the Gods,” says Carlson wasn’t dismissed by a news organization. Because of what Carlson said in a speech to The Heritage Foundation that day—among other mitigating factors—Carlson was fired by the fury of the gods that have taken over and attempted to demonize America.

Carlson is a prominent conservative in America’s national media that Cahn says rails against the agenda of these gods. In his speech, Cahn says Carlson “went even further in unmasking these gods or spirits. He basically said the forces that are taking over America, and the conflict we’re in, isn’t natural; it’s spiritual.”

Carlson had more than 3.5 million nightly viewers who listened to his “prophetic voice,” and he certainly has become a danger to the establishment.

“Tucker Carlson stood in their way,” Cahn says in a recent video message. “If you had noticed, in more recent days he had been getting deeper and deeper. He was saying what was happening to America is something spiritual. …”

There has been a great deal of speculation as to why Fox News decided to fire one of the most popular personalities in television history. Cahn says that he might have discussed topics that his bosses were uncomfortable with. But one of the more interesting reasons pertained to Fox owner Rupert Murdoch.

“He [Carlson] was engaged to an evangelical Christian woman, and he [Murdoch] had her and Tucker over for dinner,” Cahn says. “When his fiancé spoke and read from the Bible and spoke of Carlson as a prophetic voice, Murdoch was not happy about that. Murdoch was not comfortable with spirituality on Fox News and getting into the various issues of our culture [in such a manner].

“Not long after he [Carlson] broke off his engagement to that woman, he [Murdoch] fired Carlson. Beyond those reasons, there is something bigger, deeper and darker at work,” Cahn adds.

Cahn quoted from “The Return of the Gods,” explaining what happens when gods or spirits return to a culture or a nation.

“At first, you start hearing about tolerance,” Cahn says. “It’s just a strategy for the spirits to open the door of a Judeo-Christian nation. But once they get in the door, once they start gaining power in the culture, then a change begins to take place.

“We move from a culture of toleration to cancellation. That’s when the spirits, the gods, begin to take over a culture. Every knee shall bow to the new gods and every tongue shall confess to the new religion, the new woke-ism. If you don’t, the spirits will come after you and seek to marginalize you. They will vilify you, silence you and eliminate you.”

Such is the case with Carlson. In his speech to The Heritage Foundation, where he said that what you are watching in America is not a political movement, “it’s evil.”

Carlson began to rail against abortion, saying those who are pro-choice are arguing for child sacrifice. Cahn says Carlson was “exposing a dark principality, the Enchantress,” one of the Dark Trinity he wrote about in “The Return of the Gods.”

In the book, Cahn exposes the Enchantress: “She cuts to pieces those who show no respect to her. … Since they showed me no respect and they did not put their noses to the ground for me, I will personally fill the mountain range with my terror.”

“She is threatening them,” Cahn says. “And the gods, the ancient spirits, came after Tucker Carlson. Anyone refusing to pay her homage, worse, refuses to go along with her altering of marriage, sexuality and gender would suffer the unleashing of her fury. She would vilify them and portray them as haters. And so it happened to Tucker Carlson.”

Carlson also lamented of the cancel culture in today’s society. Another member of the Dark Trinity Cahn wrote about was the Possessor, which pertains to the cancel culture that has overtaken America.

Carlson may have been fired by Fox News, but he will not stay silent. Cahn urges believers to stay strong with a bold voice in the face of the gods rising up against America.

“It’s real, the spirits are back and the gods are back,” Cahn says. “They are after you. But the only way to be safe is to be saved. They want you to be silent, but do not be silent. God is stronger than the gods. Do what Tucker Carlson said in his speech, to pray for 10 minutes each day for the future, for America, for the world and for revival.” {eoa}

On his deathbed in 1993, Lonnie Frisbee made a revelation to Pastor Greg Laurie that left Laurie in disbelief. It’s something Laurie says he has never told anyone publicly—until now.

Frisbee, one of the main characters in the smash hit film “Jesus Revolution,” told Laurie that God had shown Frisbee that he was going to once again preach to thousands of people. The first thing that came to Laurie’s mind was “that’s not going to happen.”

Laurie, who serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and the founder of Harvest Crusades, now humbly admits he was sorely mistaken about that.

Although Frisbee died shortly after his conversation with Laurie, Frisbee’s prophecy did indeed come true 30 years later. Laurie says Frisbee not only preached to thousands, but he has preached to millions through the “Jesus Revolution” movie, a film that has impacted the masses and brought many non-believers into the kingdom of God.

“Jesus Revolution” has broken many box office records. In early April, it was reported that the film had crossed the $50 million mark.

Laurie says he vividly remembers the day he last saw Frisbee.

“When I went to see Lonnie, I went with a friend. He (Frisbee) was in hospice care, and he was in a dark room but with a big fire in a fireplace,” Laurie said in a recent interview with Bless God Studios’ RuslanKD. “You could see his face in the reflection—he was emaciated. It was very sad.

“We knew that Lonnie was not long for this world, and that’s when Lonnie told me he would once again preach in front of thousands. Later, a friend asked me, ‘Did it ever occur to you that through this movie and this story being told that Lonnie has preached to thousands of people?’ Thousands, I asked, Perhaps millions.”

That was when Laurie thought to himself, “Was God giving him (Frisbee) a vision of his future, that his story would be redeemed and told to a whole new audience?

“There is this scene in the film where Lonnie is preaching in the church, but now he is preaching to millions of people. I’m so glad I can help to tell his story and the story of Pastor Chuck (Smith) and how God used them.

“You can say that God didn’t use them and you can dismiss the whole movie if you like, but this movement of the Holy Spirit happened around the world, not just in California. It happened in the UK, Texas, the South. Simultaneously it was a work of the Spirit that impacted the global church. You can’t deny it. And God did it through a lot of flawed people.”

At Frisbee’s memorial service, Laurie said Smith used an illustration that Frisbee was a “Sampson-like” character. In the movie, there appears a darker side to Frisbee, including a testy relationship with his wife and conflicts with Smith after the pastor corrects him about his youthful arrogance.

Charisma News columnist Lee Grady points out that Frisbee suffered from inner torment, which “plunged Frisbee into the drug scene in San Francisco as well as the gay underground” before he found Christ.

“But let’s not forget that the Spirit of God came upon Sampson even when he was sinning,” Laurie said. “But he paid the price. And Lonnie, by his own admission, paid the price for his sins. He was forgiven by God, and that’s the main part of the story.” {eoa}

The firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News earlier this week will have major implications for the news media industry, Charisma Founder and CEO Stephen Strang says.

It may have come as a surprise to some people, but conservative leaders like Strang say it was probably inevitable considering the direction that Fox Corporation owner Rupert Murdoch has been heading the past few years—more and more to the left.

Some media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, say that Carlson was let go because of his commentaries on the Dominion voting system and the controversial election of 2020. That might have had something to do with it, but Strang says Carlson continued to speak truth on the air, even when pressured from the network to back off.

“I certainly think what happened with Tucker Carlson is another example of how upside-down the world is,” Strang says. “For a number of years, we were glad to have a major news organization (FOX) actually be more conservative than many others. It wasn’t actually that they were conservative, but they were fair and balanced.

“The thing with Rupert Murdoch and how they treated Tucker Carlson, and the fact that they are still trying to pretend that they are conservative, just goes to show you how upside this world actually is.”

Strang says “it is sad” that some Christian prophets “get off track” in delivering their prophetic roles in the kingdom. But Carlson, he said, continued to speak the truth and took on what Strang called a “prophetic role” in the media with his show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“Tucker Carlson had actually talked about how the nation had become more and more pagan, literally,” Strang says. “That was the topic of Jonathan Cahn’s explosive book “Return of the Gods.”

Carlson wasn’t the first popular Fox News host to be fired. The departure of conservative commentator Glenn Beck preceded Carlson, and it has become apparent what Murdoch’s intentions for his news network have become.

“The news that Tucker Carlson got fired doesn’t make sense,” says author and political commentator Eric Metaxas. “I’m trying to process it because the only reason half the people of the world watched Fox News is because of Tucker Carlson. So, why would they do a thing like that?”

Conservative political commentator and author Dick Morris knows the answer.

“Rupert Murdoch controls Fox Network with his body and soul,” Morris says. “He has been trying to move to the left instead of being a straight conservative network. Most particularly, they have been trying to stop Donald Trump from becoming President of the United States.

“Murdoch exists because he want’s political power, not to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Randolph Hearst was the same way. He wanted to be a political boss dressed up as a media person. When Trump announced he was running for president again, Murdoch announced that he would oppose Trump.”

When the controversial issue of the Dominion voting system turned into a lawsuit against Fox, Morris says Fox’s commentators, including Carlson, “shut up” about it. He says “Fox hasn’t dared utter a peep about it.”

But the firing of Carlson, Morris says, gives Murdoch the opportunity he has looked for over the past few years—to move to the left.

“And he is exploiting this, which includes firing Carlson,” Morris says. “Murdoch didn’t want to be frozen out of society, and he wanted to come in from the cold. He couldn’t do that as long as Fox was a right-wing network.”

So, who’s the next target at Fox? Sean Hannity? Laura Ingraham? Only time will tell.

Media reports say that Tucker Carlson has received many job offers since his firing from Fox. It’s no doubt, Strang says, that we will hear from Carlson’s truthful, “prophetic voice” again soon. {eoa}

Years ago, the Lord gave Prophet Charlie Shamp, co-found and president of Destiny Encounters International, a specific word about America’s future.

Within this prophetic word, Shamp says he saw a justice scale hanging over the country. He says he saw three letter C’s surrounding the scale—one for capitalism, one for communism and one for the church.

“The Lord spoke to me and said that the nation of America is hanging in the balance between capitalism and communism, but that the church would tip the scale,” Shamp told Charisma News’ John Matarazzo in a recent interview.

The key to that prophecy—and others like it, Shamp says—is the church’s response to it.

“Whether we pray into that word or we going leave it, the church is still going to make the decision on which way because God has placed the church in the nation to bring justice,” Shamp says. “And when I released that word, people said, ‘Oh my goodness, no. There is no way that America will get bad enough to ever go into communism.’

“But I think that we can clearly see things that are beginning to play out in this nation. That may not be like the Soviet Union of Russia, but there are things that are taking place behind the scenes in the deep state of this country that would mirror things that we would have seen in the KGB; things are happening that are undermining [freedom], in trying to surveil the citizens of the nation, things that are happening that are clearly socialistic. There are things that are clearly issues that are attempting to bring the country into a communistic state.

“In the United States of America, we are seeing things that are marginalizing the voice of the righteous or bringing people into submission to what I would say is definitely the kingdom of darkness. We’ve been called to pray as the church and see the blood of Christ wash over this nation.”

So, how has the church responded to the aforementioned prophecy and other prophetic words concerning the nation? Have we fallen to our knees and prayed diligently to stop the tide of this evil form of government that will take all of the power away from the people?

Are we interceding for our nation, which appears to be tipping the scale away from capitalism and into communism?

Shamp says prayer is obviously huge in prompting God’s actions. But he also says that we must be patient and give God time to do the work of His will and eventually we will see prophecies come to pass, like a recent one Shamp released about God bringing America back to the place He intended it to be.

In an impatient society like ours, many times that becomes a difficult task.

“In prophecy, it may not pan out the way we think it should or in the timeframe we think it should happen,” Shamp says. “I think that sometimes we jump the gun on things and we say, ‘well, this didn’t come to pass.’

“A prophet is always vindicated through time. And ultimately, you can tell a true prophet because the things that they have said come to pass and they begin to unfold. As time continues to go on, we can look back and we can say, ‘wow, that really did take place, that happened.’ So, it’s really important to recognize that every prophecy fits together like a bigger puzzle.

“It’s almost like when you get prophetic words, God gives you a piece here. And then another piece begins to come over time, and then you begin to see the bigger picture. They all fit together. And so, God begins to show you exactly what He is going to do. Each piece starts to bring things into perspective.”

Shamp wants to remind every believer in Christ that “you and I have been brought to the kingdom for a time such as this.

“We are the remnant,” Shamp says. “We are those that have been called in the planet to see transformation, to see change. And I believe that while things look turbulent and destructive, God is going to bring the nation of America back again. … God has called this nation to a Third Great Awakening.”

If you receive that prophetic word from Shamp, remember to go to God’s Word to affirm it, to diligently intercede for the nation in prayer, be patient, step back and watch God do His wondrous works. {eoa}

Destiny Encounters International’s Co-Founder and President Charlie Shamp says he receives many prophetic words from the Lord. But, Shamp says, he will not release a prophetic word to the public on social media until the Lord tells him to do so.

But here’s one that is good news for the people of this country: Shamp says God told him that He “Will bring America back again.”

This is good news as Shamp has a pretty strong prophetic track record—mainly because when he receives one, he says he goes on an extended time of fasting, prayer and consecration before the public ever hears about it.

Timing, Shamp says, is a huge factor in the release of a prophetic word. His prophesying of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is one where timing was crucial.

“I got that months and months and months before it was ever released,” Shamp told Charisma News’ John Matarazzo in a recent interview. “The date was very specific on when the Lord told me to release it. And when the Lord said release it, there was a timing to that. When you go back and look at that, now we know that the date when I released that, a year from that date is when Russia invaded Ukraine.

“It’s the same with the governor of New York (Andrew Cuomo), which was a very strong word. The word that was connected with the governor of New York, also was down to that day when a year later, he was removed from office. It was a strong word for him in that he would be judged for what he had done concerning abortion in that if he did not repent, God would remove him. That was a dream that I had, [I] prayed over that. I really believed that there would be a change in his heart and there wasn’t. But ultimately the prophecy played out and he was removed from office.”

For those skeptical of Shamp’s prophetic words, Shamp says he welcomes them to come to his website, , and his YouTube channel, Destiny Encounters, to check out the validity and authenticity of not only the words God has given him, but also the timing of those words.

Shamp says there are a number of prophetic words he has received in the past that are beginning to come to fruition in this current season. One of them involves the exposure of corruption and the revitalization of the United States.

“There was a dream that I had where there was a Russian woman and an American woman,” he says. “The Lord showed me that this Russian woman was pregnant, but the Spirit of the Lord came into this dream and told me that the nation of Russia would miscarry their child. So, there are some things panning out with the nation of Russia that are being, and are going to be, mishandled.

“God is going to bring America back again. I believe that there are things that are going to be uncovered and are already being uncovered. There is a word I was given several years ago about containers and things that were hidden in secret places that would be uncovered; documents that would be opened. We saw that in the news recently when President Biden spoke about the hunter would become the hunted.

“I’ve been saying that this thing with Hunter Biden is not finished. There is going to be an uncovering of documents and there’s going to be an unveiling of information that will be undeniable to the public about what has been transpiring behind the scenes. There were things that were done in this administration during the time of Obama that will be uncovered, classified information that will begin to be revealed that God will begin to show off.”

Shamp says the Lord has also shown him things concerning China, words that the Lord spoke to Shamp two years ago, things that date back to 2020 and the COVID pandemic.

“Concerning the virus, this was an attack upon the nation of America,” Shamp says. “Now we’re starting to see, even in the news that we are at an underlining war with the nation of China, whether we recognize it or not. From spy balloons, to even just yesterday in the news that we saw Chinese spies that were in New York that were arrested. We are at war with China. And this is a Cold War. But I believe, through prayer, we’re going to see the nation of America come back again.”
