Could a large segment of the Christian population be falling for a false gospel?

Former Catholic Mike Gendron is sounding the alarm on what he calls “the greatest lie the devil ever told”—a deception keeping millions bound in spiritual darkness.

Speaking to Ezekiel Azonwu on the We Need to Talk podcast, Gendron pulled no punches as he shared his personal journey out of Roman Catholicism and into a life transformed by the gospel of grace. “I was in bondage to religious deception for over 30 years,” Gendron said. “The only way I could ever know the truth is to abide in God’s word.”

For Gendron, the turning point came when he opened the Bible for the first time at the age of 35. “I began reading the Bible for the first time, and that’s when I realized the truth was going to set me free,” he said. “And the truth did set me free.”

What he discovered shook him to his core. “As a Catholic, I did everything I could to try and become right with God,” he explained. “It wasn’t until I opened the Bible that I realized the only way to be right with God is by faith in the all-sufficient, all-perfect, finished work of Christ.”

Gendron warned that many Catholics are trusting in their religion rather than in Jesus Christ alone. “It’s a religion that offers another Jesus and another gospel and another spirit,” he declared. “They have been indoctrinated with the greatest lie the devil ever told—that you can merit heaven through your own good works, your own religious rituals and sacraments.”

With deep concern, Gendron pointed to the eternal consequences of believing a false gospel. “The greatest danger facing Catholics is the same danger facing everyone who has not come to Christ with empty hands of faith,” he said. “They are rejecting the only means of salvation.”

He also emphasized the urgent need for the true church to step in. “Our goal is to point people to the true Christ and the true gospel,” Gendron stated. “We want them to trust the Word of God over the teachings and traditions of men.”

This revelation ignited a passion in Gendron to reach others with the same truth that set him free. “I now have a love and a compassion for Roman Catholics that I never had before,” Gendron said. “They’re where I was for over 30 years. I was a victim of deception, and they are too.”

In a time when truth is under assault and deception wears a religious mask, the call is clear: believers must return to the unfiltered gospel of Jesus Christ. This is not about attacking denominations, but about awakening hearts to the reality that not everything wrapped in Christian language leads to salvation.

In a recent segment of The 700 Club, Gordon Robertson offered a deeply encouraging and biblically grounded response to a viewer named BJ, who asked how to grow in intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

What followed was not a formula, but a freeing reminder that true intimacy with God cannot be earned—it’s a gift received.

“I think you’re trying to earn a relationship with God,” Robertson said gently, identifying a common misconception among sincere believers.

BJ had written in to say they pray, study the Word daily and fast every other day—spiritual disciplines many would admire. But Robertson pointed to something deeper. “Are you projecting onto God a relationship that you may have had with a parent? Either you were trying to impress them or ‘here’s what I’m doing for you and therefore you should return that love.’”

Robertson emphasized that God’s love isn’t transactional. “If you want intimacy in a relationship, realize you cannot possibly earn it. It’s not based at all on how much you tithe or how much you fast or how much you read the Bible… It’s based on are you seeking that intimacy with all of your heart.”

He then anchored his encouragement in Scripture, quoting Jeremiah 29:11-13:

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord… you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you… you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.”

Robertson concluded, “If you want intimacy with God, use all of your heart. If you’re not getting that, then start examining what part of my heart am I leaving behind. Again, you cannot earn it. It’s a free gift and it comes when you seek it with all of your being.”

This message is a timely reminder for every believer: our walk with the Holy Spirit is not a merit-based relationship. It is rooted in God’s grace and our honest, wholehearted seeking. We live in a culture driven by performance and checklists, but the Lord calls us not to strive, but to abide.

So take heart, He is not waiting for your perfection, but for your presence.

Apostle John Eckhardt is urging believers to recognize and reject one of Satan’s most effective spiritual traps: offense.

Teaching from the best-selling book The Bait of Satan by John Bevere, Eckhardt shared how this powerful work exposed the hidden dangers of harboring bitterness and unforgiveness.

“The central message of The Bait of Satan is that offense is one of the primary weapons Satan uses to divide, isolate, and ultimately destroy believers,” Eckhardt said.

During his livestream message, Eckhardt emphasized that offense is more than a mere emotional reaction—it’s a spiritual snare. “When we take the bait of offense, we step into a trap that can harden our hearts, hinder our prayers, rob us of joy, and block spiritual growth,” he said.

Referencing Luke 17:1 and Proverbs 18:19, Eckhardt underscored that offense is not only inevitable, but dangerous: “It is impossible that no offenses shall come… a brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city.”

He explained the Greek word for offense, scandalon, means “the bait stick of a trap,” revealing just how calculated Satan’s strategy is. “Offense leads to resentment, bitterness, and ultimately bondage,” he warned.

Eckhardt also pointed to Matthew 24:10 as a sobering prophetic indicator of the times: “Many will be offended, betray one another, and hate one another.”

But there is a path to freedom, he said—through forgiveness and maturity. “Unforgiveness imprisons us, not the one who wronged us,” Eckhardt declared. “Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a decision.”

He reminded believers that bitterness not only damages relationships but can open the door to physical affliction. “Bitterness leads to sickness and infirmity,” he said, highlighting God’s identity as Jehovah Rapha, the healer, who revealed Himself at the bitter waters of Mara.

Ultimately, maturity is the key to escaping the cycle of offense. “Mature believers are unoffendable,” Eckhardt said. “They prioritize unity and humility. God uses offense to purify motives and produce Christlike character.”

He challenged the audience to examine their hearts and take authority over bitterness. “I will not take the bait of Satan,” Eckhardt urged believers to declare. “I choose to forgive, release and bless. I am free from offense, and I walk in love.”

It’s easy to get caught up in trying to identify the Antichrist, especially with so much happening in the world today.

But Scripture reminds us that our focus shouldn’t be on hunting down the villain—it should be on preparing our hearts for the return of Christ.

The Bible says the Antichrist won’t even be revealed until the restrainer, widely believed to be the Holy Spirit working through the church, is removed.

So the real question isn’t “Will I recognize him?” It’s “Will Jesus recognize me?” Now is the time to get right with God. Because when Christ returns, it won’t be with warning, it will be in a moment and the door will close. Don’t wait. Choose today whom you will follow.

If God is a loving and caring God, would He actually break you in order to make you more like Him?

In a message steeped in biblical insight and personal application, Rabbi Schneider unpacks one of the 613 commandments of the Torah that has often puzzled people: the commandment not to eat the sinew of the hip. Rooted in Jacob’s life-altering encounter with God in Genesis 32, this commandment, Rabbi Schneider says, carries a deep spiritual message for believers today.

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

“This commandment… is rooted in the episode that occurred in Jacob’s life when he wrestled with God,” Schneider begins. “In the Torah, it says that Jacob wrestled with a man all night. And we find out that that man was God Himself.”

Genesis 32:32 explains the origin of the Law: “To this day, the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the socket of the thigh, because he touched the socket of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.”

But the physical injury Jacob sustained—a dislocated hip—was not a punishment; it was part of the transformation. “Jacob was a strong man. He was strong-willed,” Schneider explains. “He had a lot of natural ability, a lot of natural intellect, a lot of natural cunning. But before God could really bless him, God had to break him.”

This breaking was both literal and symbolic. “God touched the socket of his thigh… the place that represents pride, natural strength, self-will and self-sufficiency.”

Schneider ties Jacob’s limp to a broader spiritual principle: “Before God can really use us… He has to break us of self-reliance, He has to break us of self-will, and He has to break us of pride.”

This principle echoes through both Old and New Testaments. Schneider draws a parallel to the apostle Paul, who pleaded three times for God to remove a “thorn in the flesh,” only to be told: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” As Schneider puts it: “God’s power is manifest in us through our weakness.”

For Jacob, the limp became a lifelong reminder. “God changed Jacob’s name to Israel after breaking him,” Schneider notes. “Israel means one that strives with God and overcomes. But before Jacob could be renamed Israel, God had to touch the socket of his thigh and break him.”

Schneider urges believers not to resist these divine dealings: “Often it’s through our trials and our weakness and our pain and our difficulties that the greatest measure of God’s Spirit is released into our life.”

Ultimately, Schneider believes that God takes us through shaping and molding so that we may draw closer to Him. “God breaks us not to destroy us, but He breaks us to bless us. He breaks us to humble us so that we can become truly dependent on Him and know Him as our all in all.”

In the breaking, there is blessing. It is in surrender that we discover our true identity and purpose. When we allow the Lord to wrestle with the parts of us that need to change, He doesn’t leave us wounded—He marks us for destiny. Let every struggle become an altar, every breaking a doorway into deeper intimacy with the One who calls us by a new name.

Allen Jackson, pastor of World Outreach Church in Tennessee, is on a mission to get people thinking more deeply about angels, demons and the supernatural.

Jackson’s new book, “Angels, Demons & You” tackles these very subjects, with the preacher calling fellow believers to more boldly approach the subject matter.

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

“Most of us are comfortable having a theoretical discussion about angels and demons,” he told CBN News, noting, though, that, when it’s made personal, the conversation becomes more complex and unpalatable for some. “The most important part is imagining that there are spiritual forces that are impacting your life today without any question.”

Jackson continued, “And if we get to that point, then the discussion becomes pretty significant.”

The preacher said there’s been an obsessive move toward rationalism since the Enlightenment — one that has led too many to lose touch with the “spiritual dynamic.” Even when these issues are discussed, Jackson said there’s a tendency to focus on the “dark side” of the spiritual.

“We’ll focus more on the demonic,” he said. “And that’s certainly legitimate. I don’t want to diminish that, but the book title was intentional. I wanted to start with angels because I think there are spiritual forces to help us, spiritual beings to help us.”

Jackson said angels are pivotal to the Gospel narrative, serving a primary purpose to help people understand what’s unfolding.

“The whole Gospel story can’t really be understood apart from the angelic involvement,” he said. “Gabriel [who] goes to visit Zechariah is the opening narrative for the story of John the Baptist, and Gabriel going to see Mary and Joseph, the angels that ministered to Jesus after his temptation in the wilderness, the angels that ministered to him in Gethsemane as he’s preparing.”

Even the devil understood the importance of angels, as Satan told Jesus that if he tossed himself off the temple, the angels would save him. Matthew 4:5-6 (NIV) reads: “Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

Ultimately, Jackson said there’s a disconnect today when it comes to many Christians’ understanding of angels, in particular. While most in the aforementioned Gospel narratives seemed to understand their significance, too many today doubt or ignore.

In a recent episode of Alan DiDio’s Encounter Today, Rabbi Kirt Schneider delves into some of the most misunderstood commandments of the Torah, offering insight into how these ancient laws apply to modern believers.

Rabbi Schneider begins by explaining the scope of the Torah: “The Torah most specifically are the first five books of our Bible. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Also referred to as the Pentateuch.” While many Christians believe they have been “redeemed from God’s Law in the Torah,” Rabbi Schneider clarifies this is a common misunderstanding. “We are redeemed from the curse of the Law,” he explains, “not from the law itself.”

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

He elaborates that the Torah’s Law came with promises of blessings for obedience, but also curses for failure to uphold its perfect demands: “If one did not live up to the Law’s requirement, the curse came upon them. … Jesus lived out the Law perfectly, then gave Himself up for us as a sacrifice.” This sacrifice means believers are no longer condemned by the law, but the wisdom and self-revelation within the Torah remain valuable. As Jesus stated in Matt. 5:17-19, “I did not come to abolish the Law and the prophets, but to fulfill [it].”

Rabbi Schneider also tackles the deeper meaning behind some peculiar commandments, such as the prohibition against offering honey on the altar. “Honey can stimulate the flesh,” he explains. “When you put honey in your mouth, it stimulates your taste buds. Some people say it makes your eyes glow.” The commandment symbolizes that worship must not be driven by fleshly excitement or hype but by genuine spiritual anointing. He warns against “stimulating the flesh through honey with an artificial means,” drawing a parallel to today’s overly loud church music that “stimulates the flesh” but may lack true spiritual power.

Regarding the Torah’s relevance today, Rabbi Schneider emphasizes that “God’s purpose, His destiny upon you and I… is that we would be fruitful and multiply.” This commandment, given at creation, encourages believers to grow spiritually and spread the gospel, not just physically multiply. He explains, “We understand that God wants us to keep increasing spiritually, to keep growing in the fruit of the Spirit.”

On dietary laws like kosher, Rabbi Schneider clarifies, “Nowhere in the New Testament are Gentiles commanded to keep kosher. So, I’m not advocating that Gentiles can’t eat pork or shellfish.” However, he stresses that God cares about what we put in our bodies because “He wants to be involved in the very details of our existence in this world.”

Rabbi Schneider’s insights challenge believers to move beyond surface-level interpretations and embrace the Torah as a wellspring of spiritual wisdom. Rather than viewing God’s commandments as outdated or irrelevant, he invites Christians to rediscover them as a reflection of God’s heart and a roadmap for deeper intimacy with Him.

In an age of confusion and compromise, his message is a timely call to return to the foundations of faith—not through legalism, but through revelation. By understanding the spirit behind the law, modern believers can walk in greater purpose, clarity, and alignment with God’s eternal design.

Is remarriage always adultery?

That’s the question Pastor Vlad Savchuk tackled in a recent teaching, diving deep into Scripture’s view on marriage, divorce and restoration. With divorce still prevalent despite declining rates, many believers wrestle with guilt and confusion over remarriage.

“Marriage is a lifelong commitment and many break their vows,” Savchuk said. “Divorce is painful. Even when necessary, it does mark the death of a relationship.”

Savchuk began by tracing the biblical framework starting in the Old Testament. “God’s original design for marriage was permanent,” he said, referencing Genesis 2:24–25. Yet in Deuteronomy 24:1, divorce was permitted because of “some uncleanness,” a term that sparked two opposing interpretations in Jesus’ day.

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

“The Shammai… thought that some uncleanness refers only to moral reasons, like adultery or unfaithfulness,” he explained. “The second school of thought, Hillel… honestly for any reason, like a wife could have bad breath or bad cooking.”

Jesus aligned with the stricter view. “Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery,” Savchuk quoted from Matthew 19:9. He noted the disciples’ shocked reaction in the next verse: “It is better not to marry.”

In cases of infidelity, Savchuk emphasized, “He doesn’t require it because… God divorces Israel for their unfaithfulness. Yet He asks them to repent… hoping for reconciliation and restoration.”

Turning to the apostle Paul, Savchuk quoted 1 Corinthians 7:10–11: “A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.” He added, “That’s pretty straightforward. Pretty much, believers, don’t leave your spouse.”

However, Paul also recognized abandonment by an unbelieving spouse as valid grounds for divorce. “But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.”

Savchuk addressed abuse carefully. While not explicitly stated as a ground for divorce, he pointed to 1 Corinthians 7:15: “‘God has called us to peace,’ does suggest that separation may be necessary for safety.”

So when is remarriage not a sin?

Savchuk offered three biblical conditions: “If divorce happened because of adultery, the faithful spouse may remarry. If a spouse passed away, remarriage is allowed. If an unbeliever abandoned the marriage, the believer is free to remarry.”

He warned that remarriage without biblical grounds does carry serious consequences. “According to Matthew 19:9, if divorce occurs without biblical grounds, remarriage results in sin.”

Still, hope remains. “It is not an unpardonable sin,” Savchuk said. “Those who recognize their mistake and repent, can receive and should seek God’s forgiveness.”

To those who’ve remarried outside biblical grounds, he advised, “Confess and repent before God. Do seek wise counsel and honor the current marriage covenant rather than breaking it again.”

Quoting 1 Samuel 12:20, he reminded believers: “‘You have certainly done wrong, but make sure now that you worship the Lord with all your heart, and don’t turn your back on Him.’”

“Marriage is sacred,” Savchuk concluded. “Divorce should never be taken lightly… If someone has divorced and remarried wrongly, there is still grace. But we must recognize the gravity of God’s standards.”

Gabriel Storm once stood under the bright lights of Hollywood, performing on national television as a child star. Known for his electrifying stage presence—earning the nickname “Storm” because he “blew them away”—his early fame masked a deeper struggle. By the age of six, Storm was already lost in an identity crisis.

In an interview with Richard Lorenzo Jr., Storm explained the dark, spiritual realm that is gripping Hollywood, and how it also had a hold on him.

“Acting in Hollywood is spiritual,” Lorenzo explains. “These demonic spirits, when they’re in you for so long… you start acting in those characteristics.”

At one point, Storm questioned why God didn’t let him continue in the industry. “I asked God one day, ‘Why couldn’t I have stayed in the industry, became famous and accepted my Grammy?’” But he now sees God’s grace in pulling him out early. “If God allowed me to go further, I would have been gone.”

Storm’s life took a dramatic turn at age 13. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Gabriel’s health deteriorated rapidly. “I was 50 pounds,” he said. “So sick… felt like death.” Just a week after leaving the hospital, his father suffered a stroke, and the family lost everything.

But it was in that pit of despair that he encountered God. “I had a choice: I can either curse God because of all this bad stuff, or I can choose to seek Him,” he shares. He chose the latter—and God met him. “Jesus encountered me in the most radical ways.”

Now a fiery 20-year-old evangelist, Gabriel Storm leads “Remnant Fire” in Jacksonville, Florida, and travels the nation with one goal: souls. From preaching in Walmart to leading worship in front of festivals, Storm and his team set up speakers and fill the atmosphere with worship. “We just began to worship and let the atmosphere of worship shift everything,” he says. “The second we just put the pads on, the atmosphere shifted.”

His ministry is marked by healing, deliverance and salvations—even among those who’ve never heard of Jesus. “I prayed for this guy who had never prayed before… he had a brace on his wrist,” Storm recalls. “We prayed… he said, ‘Wow, it’s better,’ and gave his life to Jesus.”

The source of his boldness?

The Holy Spirit.

“It really is the Holy Spirit,” Storm says. “I know I wouldn’t be able to function right it wasn’t for the baptism of fire. The Holy Ghost that fills me.”

Gabriel Storm is a revivalist for Generation Z, proving that age is no barrier to a Spirit-filled life. His story is a vivid reminder that no amount of fame, success or worldly ambition can satisfy the longing of the soul. What the enemy meant for destruction, God used for deliverance. From near death to new life, Storm’s testimony is a powerful declaration that Jesus still saves, heals and sets captives free.

In a recent message, Dr. Kevin Zadai connected cutting-edge scientific discovery with ancient spiritual truth, pointing to quantum entanglement as a striking parallel to the believer’s relationship with God.

“There’s this quantum mechanics and there’s quantum physics that has to do with entanglement,” Zadai told his audience. “So I looked up and Einstein said, ‘Oh, that entanglement stuff… it’s spooky.’ I think, OK, if Einstein is saying it’s spooky, I want to know more.”

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

Zadai explained that scientists now observe what appears to be faster-than-light communication between particles, regardless of distance. “He said the intelligence and the connection between particles is faster than thought and the speed of light,” Zadai said of Einstein. “And it doesn’t matter how far you separate the particles from each other, they will find each other and they can talk past the speed of light.”

Zadai, a former commercial airline pilot turned minister, said this reflects the way believers are spiritually bound to their Creator.

“The Lord… said, ‘You’re going to do a course called the entanglement of Yahweh.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, I am.’ Why? Because it felt like rocket fuel. And I thought, you know what? The church needs this.”

He drew from his own near-death experience to describe what he believes is a divine tethering of identity, destiny and design. “I was at the throne room… and I stood standing right in front of Him and He goes, ‘You know what? You turned out just like I thought of you that day.'”

Throughout his message, Zadai weaves together examples from physics and theology to suggest a spiritual phenomenon supported, or at least mirrored, by science.

“Science is actually observing the very fact that God spoke everything into existence and that it is all attached,” he said. “Which means tonight if I come to you and I give you a word from God and it’s from God—what I do is I attach you to God’s destiny and then you’re attached to it forever.”

He challenged believers to live with boldness rooted in that supernatural connection. “If you attach to it, you become entangled with it. You become entangled with the Word of God. Because that’s Jesus, really.”

Zadai also emphasized the supernatural authority of believers over darkness.

“You’ve got to brag about your God,” he said. “Because the devil’s going to get nervous… because he knows that you can’t stop people that brag about God.”

Einstein’s unease with quantum entanglement, calling it “spooky,” only intensifies the mystery. Zadai believes believers live in the middle of that mystery, intertwined with a realm beyond comprehension.

The question remains: If quantum science now observes entanglement beyond the speed of light, are we just beginning to glimpse the architecture of the spiritual world Scripture has described all along?
