68. <p>&#8220;You can hear things are just shaking,&#8221; Nate Hutchinson told KLKN-TV. &#8220;And everything just came down on top of us, just instantly.&#8221;</p>

71.  
72. <p>The age old advice which has gotten many a weary Christian through difficult times proved to be the most logical thing for Hutchinson to do as he looked death in the face: <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/spiritual-warfare/why-we-must-change-the-way-we-pray-for-america/" title="">when in doubt, pray it out.</a></p>

This is the question Bishop Alan DiDio and Daniel Kolenda have set out to answer in a recent podcast episode of Encounter Today.</p>
140.  
141.  
142.  
143. <p>Christians have debated back and forth for years about whether or not the gifts of the Holy Spirit have ceased to exist in our modern world. For charismatics and Pentecostals, the same gifts of tongues, prophecy, teaching and more are just as relevant today as they were when the Holy Spirit came upon the followers of Jesus after His ascension to heaven.</p>

149.  
150.  
151. <p class="has-link-color wp-elements-48b131d47b3ba5a1ebfd60dd84098e4e">However, there are plenty of Christians who disagree with this belief, <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/i-was-a-devout-cessationist-then-this-happened/" title="">clinging to the idea</a> that these gifts left after the disciples passed away. Reviewing the &#8220;Cessationist&#8221; movie trailer, DiDio and Kolenda look at the philosophy and theology behind the cessationist movement.</p>
152.

159.  
160.  
161. <p>&#8220;I get a kick out of the unscriptural attempts they [cessationists] make at delegitimizing the charismatic movement and I think it’s about time that we equip the body of Christ with answers to these fallacious accusations,&#8221; DiDio says.</p>
162.  
163.  
164.  
165. <p>Something Daniel Kolenda points out is that charismatics are not the enemy of cessationists, even in the disagreement.</p>
166.  
167.  
168.  
169. <p>&#8220;I love them, and I’m jealous for them to experience the moving of the Holy Spirit,&#8221; Kolenda says. &#8220;Now some these cessationist teacher guys I don’t have a whole lot of appreciation for because I feel like they’re robbing the ordinary people of something so precious and something Jesus died for His children to experience.&#8221;</p>
170.  
171.  
172.  
173. <p>Kolenda explains that there is no biblical support for us to believe that the gifts of the spirit have ceased to exist in our world today.</p>
174.  
175.  
176.  
177. <p>&#8220;There’s no good argument in Scripture, there’s no good argument in church history,&#8221; Kolenda says.</p>
178.  
179.  
180.  
181. <p>So, the question stands: Is cessationism heretical?</p>
182.  
183.  
184.  
185. <p>Kolenda says much of the cessationist viewpoint is connected to a secular mindset and can end up being deism, which he says goes beyond heresy. While this is not necessarily the mindset of many cessationists, Kolenda says that hardline, complete cessationism is indeed still heretical.</p>
186.  
187.  
188.  
189. <p class="has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-c49c4f9512db5175ad449fcb91ebc204"><strong><a href="https://www.strangmail.com/newsletters/signup/"><em>Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today!

190.  
191.  
192.  
193. <p class="has-link-color wp-elements-d1eb9ba6006d5edadbbc1844cd4fd259">&#8220;That is very heretical. I think that it basically <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/the-cessationist-documentary-is-wrong-for-all-the-wrong-reasons/" title="">denies the supernatural</a>. It’s anti-supernaturalist, and there is no version of Christianity that denies the supernatural because if the supernatural is not real, none of this is real,&#8221; Kolenda says.</p>
194.  
195.  
196.  
197. <p>However, Kolenda notes that for many cessationists, there is a belief in miracles in Scripture and even the ability for God to still perform them today. It is the core of cessationism as being abhorrent against the miraculous as a whole that Kolenda says is rooted in an antichrist spirit.</p>
198.  
199.  
200.  
201. <p>&#8220;There is no justification for cessationist doctrine,&#8221; Kolenda says. &#8220;Of all debates going on today between Bible-believing Christians, I think it’s the most obvious one to decide which is right and which is wrong…They literally do not have a single proof text that they can turn to to justify their doctrine,&#8221; Kolenda says.</p>
202.  
203.

205. <p>Just as Scripture uses prophetic voices and miracles from the beginning to the end, let us not forget that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. If He is the same God who used the miraculous then, He can use the miraculous now. His nature has not changed, who God is has not changed and what He can do has not changed. The same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead is still working in our world today.</p>

238.  
239.  
240.  
241. <p>Cahn points out how the first Passover happened when the Israelites escaped Egypt, and the fulfillment of the Passover happened when Jesus Christ gave His life for <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/jonathan-cahns-end-times-rebuke-for-the-pope/" title="">the sins of the world</a> on the cross of Calvary. Now, Passover is an excellent time for us to remember the salvation we&#8217;ve been given.</p>
242.  
243.

246.  
247.  
248.  
249. <p>&#8220;Passover is about death and life, tears and redemption, slavery and freedom, rebirth and the salvation of God,&#8221; Cahn says.</p>
250.  
251.  
252.  
253. <p>The story of Passover is more than just a story or even an event. It’s a reflection of a loving, holy God choosing to <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/jonathan-cahn-israel-iran-and-end-times-prophecy/" title="">save us from bondage</a> even when we did nothing to deserve it.</p>

262.  
263. <p>&#8220;God saw you in exile. God saw you in your sorrows and He sent for you a Redeemer to come into your Egypt and by your Redeemer and by the blood of the Lamb, you are set free,&#8221; Cahn says.</p>
264.  
265.  
266.  
267. <p>Looking at the different elements part of the Passover meal, Cahn takes the bone of a lamb, known as a zeroa, and uncovers the unique mystery behind this Passover item.</p>
268.  
269.  
270.  
271. <p class="has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-c49c4f9512db5175ad449fcb91ebc204"><strong><a href="https://www.strangmail.com/newsletters/signup/"><em>Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today!

272.  
273.  
274.  
275. <p>&#8220;The mystery is this: in the Bible it says that God created the world by the zeroa, it says He saved His people <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/us/jonathan-cahn-unveils-biden-s-state-of-the-union-deception/" title="">out of Egypt </a>by the zeroa,&#8221; Cahn says. &#8220;The zeroa can be translated into English as &#8216;the arm of God.'&#8221;</p>
276.  
277.  
278.  
279. <p>The arm of God directly relates to Isaiah 53 where we read about the pain and the suffering Jesus went through on our behalf. This shows the true nature and character of God for who He really is and what His plan has always been for humanity.</p>
280.  
281.  
282.  
283. <p>&#8220;The greatest revelation of the power of God is not that He could create the universe. It’s that He could give His life for you and die to save you,&#8221; Cahn says.</p>

317. <p>By Billy Hallowell/CBN News</p>
318.  
319.  
320.  
321. <p>Yet another pastor has been slaughtered in Nigeria, underscoring <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/will-you-love-when-the-persecution-comes/" title="">the crumbling state of affairs for Christians</a> in the African nation.</p>
322.  
323.  
324.  
325. <p>The Rev. Manasseh Ibrahim was reportedly killed last week as he traveled to provide ministry to church members,&nbsp;<a href="https://morningstarnews.org/2024/04/ecwa-pastor-slain-in-kaduna-state-nigeria/">according to sources</a>&nbsp;who spoke to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.</p>
326.  
327.  
328.  
329. <p>Ibrahim was reportedly slaughtered by “bandits” in the Kaduna state, though many other believers have faced violence at the hands of Islamic extremists in recent years.</p>
330.  
331.  
332.  
333. <p>“Rev. Manasseh Ibrahim, a pastor with ECWA [Evangelical Church Winning All] Church, Gure, was on his way for a pastoral church ministration in the Kurebe area of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna state when he was ambushed and killed by the bandits,” the Rev. Yahaya Kinge, a local faith leader with the Christian Association of Nigeria, said in a&nbsp;<a href="https://morningstarnews.org/2024/04/ecwa-pastor-slain-in-kaduna-state-nigeria/">statement</a>.</p>
334.  
335.

338.  
339.  
340.  
341. <p>Kinge lamented the intense violence and persecution Christians face in the region, noting believers “who are direct victims of banditry and insurgency in Kaduna state are fed up with the inability of Nigeria government to find a lasting solution to the incessant killings of innocent Christians.”</p>
342.  
343.  
344.  
345. <p>And he wasn’t done there. Kinge also said <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/spiritual-warfare/the-growing-persecution-of-christians-a-sign-of-the-times/" title="">Christians have had enough of these murderous and dangerous actions</a> and implored the government to help.</p>
346.  
347.  
348.  
349. <p>“The hard push of Christians to the wall through incessant attacks is enough,” he&nbsp;<a href="https://morningstarnews.org/2024/04/ecwa-pastor-slain-in-kaduna-state-nigeria/">wrote</a>. “And we can no longer bear this brunt.”</p>
350.  
351.  
352.  
353. <p>As CBN News has reported, the situation in Nigeria is dire.&nbsp;The list of anecdotal examples of violence against Christians is extensive. In November, Oluwakemi Moses, the wife of a Nigerian pastor, was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faithwire.com/2023/12/04/pray-wife-of-nigerian-pastor-mother-of-2-month-old-baby-killed-by-terrorists-while-driving-home/">murdered by terrorists</a>&nbsp;as she traveled home with her two-month-old baby.</p>

358.  
359.  
360.  
361. <p>And the Rev. Charles Onomhoale Igechi, a Catholic priest who was vice principal of St. Michael College, Ikhueniro, was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faithwire.com/2023/06/19/pray-priest-murdered-by-gunman-in-nigeria-church-expresses-great-shock/">slaughtered</a>&nbsp;last year while driving through Benin, Edo, in Nigeria.</p>
362.  
363.  
364.  
365. <p>These events aren’t new, though international attention on the matter is continuing to grow. Violence in Nigeria broke through the global news cycle in May 2022, when Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu, a 25-year-old Christian college student, was stoned to death by a Muslim mob.</p>
366.  
367.  
368.  
369. <p>The killing of Yakubu, a Shehu Shagari College of Education student in Sokoto, Nigeria, was purportedly filmed and shared on social media, horrifying the international community.</p>

413.  
414.  
415. <p>The Great American Eclipse of 2024 was a sight to behold, and an example of God&#8217;s mighty power and glory in creation.</p>
416.  
417.  
418.  
419. <p>With the eclipse came many claims about what it may represent and what message God was trying to send to humanity.</p>
420.  
421.  
422.  
423. <p><a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/end-times/end-times-confusion-and-the-great-american-eclipse/" title="">Some claimed the world would end</a> (it didn&#8217;t), while others such as Pastor Troy Brewer explained that this is a sign and a call to repentance, pointing to the prophet Jonah and the redemption of the city of Nineveh.</p>
424.  
425.  
426.  
427. <p>History shows that the sign of Jonah to Nineveh was an eclipse and the sun going dark, and Brewer shared on a recent episode of Ministry Now on the Daystar network, that there is still more to come post-eclipse.</p>
428.  
429.  
430.  
431. <p class="has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-26b5f6d652a8a67177ffd4266067d880"><strong><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Charisma_News" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breaking News</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@charismamagazine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spirit-Filled Stories</a>.

432.  
433.  
434.  
435. <p>&#8220;Whenever the sign of Jonah actually shows up, it means a clock is ticking,&#8221; Brewer explains.</p>
436.  
437.  
438.  
439. <p>While many may scoff at this claim at first glance, taking a closer look into Scripture would show that this is a warning straight from the pages of the Bible, and Jesus&#8217; very own words.</p>
440.  
441.  
442.  
443. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s sure real for Israel,&#8221; Brewer says. &#8220;Whenever Jesus declared, &#8216;There will be no sign unto you except for that of Jonah the prophet,&#8217; and then they saw the sky go dark, and then 40 years later, A.D. 70, the Romans came in and sacked Jerusalem.</p>
444.  
445.  
446.  
447. <p>&#8220;When the clock is ticking, the clock is ticking,&#8221; he adds.</p>
448.  
449.  
450.  
451. <p>Not willing to accept that the events surrounding the eclipse were mere coincidence, with a 4.8 earthquake hitting the New York area just prior to the celestial event, on 4/8, Brewer continues, &#8220;God Almighty&#8217;s like, &#8216;The heavens are being shaken and the earth is being shaken, and according to Joel chapter 3, that is the voice of God.&#8221;</p>
452.  
453.  
454.  
455. <p><a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/us/the-eclipse-and-the-coming-king/" title="">&#8220;So this thing enters in at Eagle Pass, Texas,</a> it exits out of Maine, and y&#8217;all, it goes over seven different cities called Nineveh. &#8230;Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s real, is people are demanding an additional sign and that&#8217;s exactly who Jesus was talking to. He says there will be no additional sign given to you except for that of Jonah the prophet,&#8221; he adds.</p>
456.  
457.  
458.  
459. <p>What does this have to do with May 18, 40 days after the eclipse? According to Brewer, there is a lot happening on that day.</p>
460.  
461.

465.  
466.  
467. <p>&#8220;The first thing that comes up is this: it&#8217;s national astronomy day. OK, pay attention to the signs in the heavens. What begins at sundown on May the 18th? Pentecost,&#8221; Brewer reveals.</p>
468.  
469.  
470.  
471. <p>But what is the point of all of this? What is the conclusion that this is all leading up to? Why are people even talking about it? In a word: repentance.</p>
472.  
473.  
474.  
475. <p>God&#8217;s entire plan for Jonah and Nineveh which we read in the holy Bible is to bring about repentance and back into right standing with God.</p>

517.  
518.  
519. <p>Galia Ahava Meira became a victim of sex trafficking when she was just a toddler.&nbsp;</p>
520.  
521.  
522.  
523. <p>&#8220;It started when I was three, actually,&#8221; Galia told CBN News.</p>
524.  
525.  
526.  
527. <p>Her own grandfather took that step <a href="https://mycharisma.com/cpn-articles/what-if-i-told-you-about-human-trafficking/" title="">by selling her for sex to his fellow members of the KKK.</a></p>
528.  
529.  
530.  
531. <p>&#8220;That went on up until he passed away when I was almost seven,&#8221; Galia explained.</p>
532.  
533.  
534.  
535. <p>The trauma from that experience then led to a lonely life of drug and alcohol abuse.</p>
536.

541.  
542.  
543. <p>&#8220;I actually had been on life support for nine days due to an overdose and no one came to the hospital to see me. No one in my family at all,&#8221; she said. &#8220;When I woke up after they had taken the machines off, there was a social worker there from CPS and that is how I got out. I got put in foster care.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>
544.  
545.  
546.  
547. <p>After aging out of foster care, Galia hoped marriage might provide a new start. Sadly, her husband continued the exploitation and even became her pimp.</p>
548.  
549.  
550.  
551. <p>&#8220;He actually would sleep with a pistol under my pillow with his finger on the trigger,&#8221; said Galia. &#8220;He, in the community, had a lot of power because of the job that he did. So, for me to just be able to reach out to someone and say, &#8216;This is happening,&#8217; wasn&#8217;t possible.&#8221;</p>
552.  
553.  
554.  
555. <p>Her breakthrough came during a secret Skype call with a trauma counselor who told Galia about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reststopministries.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rest Stop Ministries</a>&nbsp;– Tennessee&#8217;s first long-term program for female sex trafficking victims.&nbsp;</p>
556.  
557.  
558.  
559. <p>&#8220;They partnered with another agency and sent a rescue team to Ohio to get me out of that situation,&#8221; Galia explained.</p>
560.  
561.  
562.  
563. <p>&#8220;These women come to us, broken body, mind, soul and spirit,&#8221; Rondy Smith, founder and executive director, said in an interview with CBN News. &#8220;We have a trauma-focused therapist and we have clinical case managers who are linking arms and creating comprehensive healing plans that help these women deal with whatever they need to deal with to be completely rehabilitated, made whole in Christ.&#8221;</p>
564.  
565.  
566.  
567. <p>Smith went on to explain the ministry&#8217;s holistic approach.</p>
568.  
569.  
570.  
571. <p>&#8220;We tell these women when they come through the door, &#8216;Your life has been hard, but the bravest thing you&#8217;ve ever done is walk through these doors and<a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/world/sound-of-freedom-shining-light-on-heroes-of-sex-trafficking-rescue/" title=""> the healing journey is going to be just as hard.</a> And if you&#8217;ll come and just focus on doing the very hard work of healing, we&#8217;re going to take care of your every need.'&#8221;</p>
572.  
573.  
574.  
575. <p>Part of that healing includes a nine-month curriculum called&nbsp;<a href="https://goodhopefarms.org/collections/accessories" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Good Hope Farms</a>&nbsp;that provides education and employment opportunities.</p>
576.  
577.  
578.  
579. <p>&#8220;They are learning job skills, paid hands-on,&#8221; said Smith. &nbsp;&#8220;They&#8217;re being paid to learn because they need to be ready when they transition. And when they start working and earning it boosts their self-esteem and they realize there is hope for me to transform my life.&#8221;</p>
580.

583. <p class="has-text-align-center"><em><a href="https://www.strangmail.com/newsletters/signup/" title=""><strong>Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today! Stay up-to-date with current issues,&nbsp;Holy Spirit news,&nbsp;Christian teachings, Charisma videos &amp; more!</strong></a></em></p>
584.  
585.  
586.  
587. <p>That hope was actually born from tragedy according to Smith.</p>
588.  
589.  
590.  
591. <p>&#8220;In February of 2014, the matriarch and patriarch who lived in this house were murdered,&#8221; Smith shared. &#8220;A bomb exploded in their kitchen.&#8221;</p>
592.  
593.  
594.  
595. <p>While seeking a location for her ministry, Smith met that couple&#8217;s daughter Laura who co-owned the property.</p>
596.  
597.  
598.  
599. <p>&#8220;Laura said, &#8216;My mother always wanted to serve the last and the least and the lost,'&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;She was the kind of person who wanted to give radical hospitality to broken women. She always wanted them to have a place at the table. Everybody needed a home. And she said, &#8216;I can&#8217;t imagine a better legacy for the memory of my mother who was the one who named this property when they moved in, Good Hope Farms.&#8217;</p>
600.  
601.  
602.  
603. <p>&#8220;She said to her children and kids, &#8216;We don&#8217;t just have a hope, we have a good hope. And His name is Jesus Christ,'&#8221; Smith said.</p>

647.  
648.  
649.  
650. <p>Starting off their discussion about UFOs, Rogan and Carlson point to the prophet Ezekiel as a place to gain understanding about this topic.</p>
651.  
652.  
653.  
654. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not American technology or Russian or Chinese. It predates all of that,&#8221; Carlson says. &#8220;I mean the prophet Ezekiel writes about it in the first chapter, wheels in the sky.&#8221;</p>

665.  
666.  
667.  
668. <p>While the prophet is actually talking about heavenly beings in Ezekiel 1, from a worldly perspective it makes sense that Carlson may believe the Bible is talking about UFOs when taken out of context. However, Carlson does believe that that unexplainable things we are seeing today are in fact spiritual and not from another planet.</p>
669.  
670.  
671.  
672. <p>&#8220;These are <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/oliver-anthony-shares-his-testimony-on-joe-rogan-finding-purpose-in-god-s-calling/" title="">spiritual phenomenon</a>. There&#8217;s no evidence they&#8217;re from another planet,&#8221; Carlson says. &#8220;They’re from here and they&#8217;ve been here for thousands of years whatever they are, and it&#8217;s pretty clear to me that they&#8217;re spiritual entities.&#8221;</p>

677.  
678.  
679.  
680. <p> Rogan and Carlson further got to the nitty gritty about the meaning and purpose of life, and the existence of good and evil perpetuating all kinds of circumstances in our world today.</p>
681.  
682.  
683.  
684. <p>&#8220;Are we very important in the universal sense?&#8221; Rogan asks. &#8220;Not really. Like, if the earth just imploded and disappeared, if the sun went supernova and our whole solar system was blown to bits, the universe still exists in the end.&#8221;</p>
685.  
686.  
687.  
688. <p>Carlson expands on what Rogan said, pointing out that we are very limited in <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/joe-rogan-talks-satan-biblical-prophecy-and-the-end-times/" title="our own power">our own power</a> and ability to change outcomes and trajectories of the world. Carlson also emphasizes that our existence points to us being created individuals by a maker, not a species evolved from another creature.</p>
689.  
690.  
691.  
692. <p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no chain in the fossil record of that at all,&#8221; Carlson says of evolution. &#8220;God created people.&#8221;</p>

724.  
725.  
726.  
727. <p>At first, they told us that humans were at no risk.&nbsp;But now the WHO says that there is&nbsp;&#8220;enormous concern&#8221; that H5N1 could potentially start spreading among humans.&nbsp;And when dairy cows in the U.S. started catching bird flu, we were assured that milk from infected cows was being kept out of the supply chain.&nbsp;So most Americans continued to buy milk, cheese and butter as usual.&nbsp;</p>
728.  
729.  
730.  
731. <p>But now two different rounds of testing have confirmed that massive amounts of milk from infected dairy cows is getting into the supply chain.&nbsp;In fact, on Thursday an update that was posted&nbsp;on the official FDA website&nbsp;openly admitted that approximately one out of every five samples of grocery store milk that they tested had &#8220;viral fragments&#8221; in them.</p>

736.  
737.  
738.  
739. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
740. <p>Today, the FDA received some initial results from its nationally representative commercial milk sampling study. The agency continues to analyze this information; however, the initial results show about 1 in 5 of the retail samples tested are quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-positive for HPAI viral fragments, with a greater proportion of positive results coming from milk in areas with infected herds.</p>
741. </blockquote>
742.  
743.  
744.  
745. <p>That is a bombshell.</p>
746.  
747.  
748.  
749. <p>But they are not the only ones that have been doing such testing.</p>
750.  
751.  
752.  
753. <p>A veterinary epidemiologist at Ohio State University tested &#8220;150 commercial milk products from around the Midwest,&#8221; and he found viral material&nbsp;in more than a third of them.</p>
754.  
755.  
756.  
757. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
758. <p>Andrew Bowman, a veterinary epidemiologist at Ohio State University, had a hunch. He had been struck by the huge amounts of H5N1 virus he&#8217;d seen in milk from cows infected with the bird flu and thought that at least some virus was getting off of farms and going downstream—onto store shelves.</p>
759.  
760.  
761.  
762. <p>He knew the Food and Drug Administration was working on its own national survey of the milk supply. But he was impatient. So he and a graduate student went on a road trip: They collected 150 commercial milk products from around the Midwest, representing dairy processing plants in 10 different states, including some where herds have tested positive for H5N1. Genetic testing found viral RNA in 58 samples, he told STAT.</p>
763. </blockquote>
764.  
765.  
766.  
767. <p>What these tests indicate is that H5N1 is far, far more widespread in dairy cows than we had been told.</p>
768.  
769.  
770.  
771. <p>Originally, I wasn’t too concerned when I heard that there were a few dozen confirmed cases in <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/world/a-massive-altar-for-the-red-heifer-sacrifice-has-been-constructed-in-israel/" title="">herds across the country</a>, because that was just a very small fraction of the total.</p>
772.  
773.  
774.  
775. <p>But now experts are acknowledging that these latest tests clearly show that a very large proportion of U.S. dairy cows&nbsp;have been exposed to the virus.</p>
776.  
777.  
778.  
779. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
780. <p>&#8220;The fact that you can go into a supermarket and 30% to 40% of those samples test positive, that suggests there’s more of the virus around than is currently being recognized,&#8221; said Richard Webby, an influenza virologist who has been analyzing the samples at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., where he heads the WHO Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals.</p>
781. </blockquote>
782.  
783.  
784.  
785. <p>The good news is that the FDA is reporting that&nbsp;&#8220;preliminary results&#8221;&nbsp;indicate that the pasteurization process kills off the bird flu that has been getting into our milk supply.</p>
786.  
787.  
788.  
789. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
790. <p>Preliminary results of tests run by the Food and Drug Administration show that pasteurization is working to kill off bird flu in milk, the agency said Friday.</p>
791.  
792.  
793.  
794. <p>&#8220;This additional testing did not detect any live, infectious virus. These results reaffirm our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe,&#8221; the FDA said in a statement.</p>
795. </blockquote>
796.  
797.  
798.  
799. <p>Hopefully those &#8220;preliminary results&#8221; will be confirmed.</p>
800.  
801.  
802.  
803. <p>Unfortunately, any milk that has not been pasteurized is at risk.</p>
804.  
805.  
806.  
807. <p>In fact, the USDA is telling us that deaths and neurological disease have been&nbsp;&#8220;widely reported&#8221;&nbsp;among cats that had been drinking unpasteurized milk from dairy cows.</p>

813.  
814.  
815. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
816. <p>Other animals have also not fared as well during the outbreak: the USDA said Friday that deaths and neurological disease had been &#8220;widely reported&#8221; in cats around dairy farms. Officials have said they suspect cats had been drinking leftover raw milk from infected cows.</p>
817. </blockquote>
818.  
819.  
820.  
821. <p>Why are we only hearing about this now? And what else are they not telling us? It appears that we have a major crisis on our hands.</p>
822.  
823.  
824.  
825. <p>Sadly, more confirmed cases just keep rolling in.&nbsp;At this point, Colorado has become&nbsp;the ninth state&nbsp;where dairy cows have officially tested positive.</p>
826.  
827.  
828.  
829. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
830. <p>Avian influenza has been confirmed in dairy cows in Colorado, making the Centennial State the ninth in the U.S. to see the highly contagious virus jump from bird to cattle.</p>
831.  
832.  
833.  
834. <p>According to the state Department of Agriculture, the Colorado State Veterinarian Office was alerted on April 22 that a dairy herd in northeastern Colorado was exhibiting symptoms of H5N1, or the bird flu. In cattle, bird flu symptoms include decreased feed intake, decreased milk production, and abnormal milk when it is produced.</p>
835.  
836.  
837.  
838. <p>&#8220;Samples submitted to the Colorado State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory tested presumptive positive for HPAI on April 24 and were confirmed by the [U.S. Department of Agriculture] National Veterinary Services Laboratory on April 25,&#8221; the Colorado Department of Agriculture said.</p>
839. </blockquote>
840.  
841.  
842.  
843. <p>Many scientists are deeply concerned about the possibility that H5N1 could jump from dairy cows to dairy workers.</p>
844.  
845.  
846.  
847. <p>So far, just one&nbsp;dairy worker in Texas has officially tested positive, but there may be a lot more cases out there.&nbsp;The following comes from an NBC News article entitled&nbsp;&#8220;Bird flu cases are likely being missed in dairy workers, experts say.&#8221;</p>
848.  
849.  
850.  
851. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
852. <p>During that same time, she said, dairy workers — including those who were never in close contact with the sick cows — also fell ill.</p>
853.  
854.  
855.  
856. <p>&#8220;People had some classic flu-like symptoms, including high fever, sweating at night, chills, lower back pain, as well as upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea,&#8221; Petersen said. They also tended to have &#8220;pretty severe conjunctivitis and swelling of their eyelids.&#8221;</p>
857.  
858.  
859.  
860. <p>Petersen noted that the people were never tested for H5N1; it’s possible that their symptoms were the result of another illness.</p>
861. </blockquote>
862.  
863.  
864.  
865. <p>If H5N1 mutates into a form that spreads easily from human to human, that would be a nightmare.</p>
866.  
867.  
868.  
869. <p>According&nbsp;to the official WHO website, more than 50% of all confirmed cases in humans since 2003 have resulted in death.</p>
870.  
871.  
872.  
873. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
874. <p>From 2003 to 1 April 2024, a total of 889 cases and 463 deaths (CFR 52%) caused by influenza A(H5N1) virus have been reported worldwide from 23 countries.</p>
875. </blockquote>

879. <p>In&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM6S4V9V" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">my most recent book entitled &#8220;Chaos</a>,&#8221; I warned that pestilences would be one of the major themes that we would be dealing with in 2024.</p>
880.  
881.  
882.  
883. <p>The bird flu has already killed <a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/there-will-be-blood-moon-purim-eclipses-for-3-years-in-a-row-in-2024-2025-and-2026/" title="">millions upon millions</a> of birds all over the globe, and now it has made the jump into mammals such as dairy cows and cats.</p>
884.  
885.  
886.  
887. <p>Many experts are convinced that it is just a matter of time before is starts spreading among humans on a widespread basis, and once that happens everything will change.</p>

945.  
946. <p>In March, Jenkins released a video explaining the show’s previous model of making episodes immediately available for free “<a href="https://www2.cbn.com/news/entertainment/dallas-jenkins-reveals-bad-news-about-chosen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wasn’t proving to be sustainable</a>,&#8221; given cost-of-production increases as the series&#8217; quality improves. Additionally, much of the revenue generated by theatrical releases is going toward the remaining three seasons of the seven-season show.</p>
947.  
948.  
949.  
950. <p>&#8220;We are actively working on it every day,&#8221; Jenkins said in mid-April of bringing season four to viewers who couldn’t afford or chose not to see it in theaters. &#8220;I promise you, no one is more frustrated by this than I am. And no one wants to get this to you more quickly than I do. We’re working on it. I promise you.&#8221;</p>

961.  
962. <p>&#8220;The decision to include &#8216;The Chosen&#8217; amongst these titles might help win some more conservative subscribers back toward the Mouse,&#8221; he wrote, referring to The Walt Disney Company.</p>

1002.  
1003.  
1004.  
1005. <p>Hebron is <a href="https://mycharisma.com/israeljewishroots/standing-with-israel/157-christian-leaders-warn-biden-recent-actions-endanger-israel-and-us/" title="">one of the oldest cities in Israel </a>and has been continually inhabited since before the time of Abraham. It’s located south of Jerusalem in the beautiful Judean mountain range, between the Dead Sea to the east, and the shores of Gaza to the west, about halfway between Jerusalem to the north and Beersheva to the south.</p>
1006.  
1007.  
1008.  
1009. <p>It’s easy to believe the name “Hebron” is connected to “Hebrew,” but it’s not. The name is “Chevron” in Hebrew and is derived from an ancient Semitic root indicating connection, alliance, or friendship, using the same root as the Hebrew word “chaver” – friend. In Arabic, the city has been called “al-Khalil” since the 13th century, but in older sources, the city is referred to as Habrun also in Arabic.</p>
1010.  
1011.  
1012.  
1013. <p>Hebron appears for the first time in Genesis 23, when Abraham approached the local Hittites to purchase a piece of land – a field with a cave – in which he could bury his wife Sara. This makes Hebron the earliest land to be legally owned by Abraham. His two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, are still fighting over who is the legal heir, which might be the longest ongoing inheritance conflict in history…</p>
1014.  
1015.  
1016.  
1017. <p>As we follow the continued story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we notice that whenever they or their spouses die, they are laid to rest in the same cave – the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron. The only exception is Rachel, who is buried in Bethlehem. Even Jacob – although he moves to Egypt with his sons – takes an oath from them that when he dies: They will bring his bones back, and bury him with his forefathers in the Machpelah Cave, which they do. The cave is, therefore, the burial place of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sara, Rebecca and Leah.</p>
1018.  
1019.  
1020.  
1021. <p>After Joshua and his army conquered Canaan, Hebron became the capital of the tribe of Judah, but also a Levite city – and a city of refuge – where people who had accidentally killed someone could go to be safe from the blood avenger. A few centuries later, after King Saul is killed by the Philistines, David is elected king of the tribe of Judah only, and he naturally moves to Hebron, Judah’s capital, from which he rules.</p>

1026.  
1027.  
1028.  
1029. <p>Saul’s son, Ish-Bosheth, saw this as a rebellion, and the Bible describes seven years of civil war between them. There’s also a shameful event where David’s army general, Yoav, murders Avner within Hebron, to avenge his killed brother Asael – totally ignoring the city’s biblical status as a city of refuge.</p>
1030.  
1031.  
1032.  
1033. <p>Once Ish-Bosheth dies, and David becomes king of all Israel, he can no longer keep ruling from the Judean capital, Hebron. He needed a federal capital and thus chose Jerusalem. But Hebron continued to be an important city throughout his reign, and central to his home-tribe. This is why his son Absalom started his revolt against his father from Hebron.</p>
1034.  
1035.  
1036.  
1037. <p>After King Solomon’s death, the United Kingdom was divided between the northern Kingdom of Israel, and the southern Kingdom of Judah, and Hebron was, of course, in Judah, which was exiled in 586 B.C. to Babylon. This is where the Bible goes almost totally silent on Hebron, and we have to look at other sources.</p>
1038.  
1039.  
1040.  
1041. <p>Once the Jews were exiled, the Edomites moved into their land – including Hebron and the area surrounding it – and it was called Idumea by Persian, then Greek, and then Roman rulers. This doesn’t mean the Jews gave up on it. When the Jews returned from exile, Nehemiah once mentioned “Kiryat Arba,” which is an ancient alternative name for Hebron, and a few centuries later, Judah Maccabee fought the Edomites and plundered Hebron. Still, the city remained Idumean. Later, after the Jewish independence, Hasmonean King John Hyrcanus I occupied all of Idumean land and force-converted them all to Judaism.</p>
1042.  
1043.  
1044.  
1045. <p>Many years later, a man of Idumean descent rose to become Israel’s king – Herod the Great. Besides killing babies in Bethlehem and the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, he also built a wall around the Machpelah Cave in Hebron, which remains there today.</p>
1046.  
1047.  
1048.  
1049. <p>During the time of Jesus, Hebron was still an Idumean city, which meant it was technically Jewish, but probably under heavy Herodian and Roman influence. There is no mention of the city in the New Testament at all. During the Great Revolt, a Zealot leader captured and plundered the city, and then fell to the Roman army which burned down the town. In the Bar-Kochba rebellion, a generation later – the last Jewish attempt for independence – Jewish captives were sold at a slave market in Hebron in 135 A.D.</p>
1050.  
1051.  
1052.  
1053. <p>A few centuries later, the Roman Empire became Christian, and the Machpelah Cave became an important pilgrimage site as the burial place of Abraham. Similar to Jerusalem, Jews were not allowed in the city, and the Byzantine Romans built a church around the Machpelah Cave in the 6th century.</p>
1054.  
1055.  
1056.  
1057. <p><a href="https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/standing-with-israel/prophetic-alert-are-these-israels-darkest-hours/" title="">And then came the Muslims.</a></p>
1058.  
1059.  
1060.  
1061. <p>You might have heard that Jerusalem is the third holiest city in Islam, after Mecca and Medinah. Well, Hebron is definitely fourth, since it’s the burial place of Abraham. Justified or not, Muhammed saw the Arabs as descending from Ishmael, and thus Abraham – who worshipped the one true God – is the original founder of Islam from their perspective. Once the Muslims had conquered the city, the church was turned into a mosque, and Jews were allowed to live in Hebron and build synagogues.</p>
1062.  
1063.  
1064.  
1065. <p>In the Quran, Abraham gets the nickname “Khalil a-Rachman” or “the Friend of the Merciful,” i.e. friend of God. With time, Hebron, therefore, gets the name “al-Khalil” in Arabic. But since it literally means “friend,” it could be seen as a direct Arabic translation of the original name, Hebron.</p>
1066.  
1067.  
1068.  
1069. <p>The crusaders occupied Hebron in 1099 and renamed it “Castellion Saint Abraham.” They ruled it until Saladin came in 1187, and then Richard Lionheart, and then feudings between Templars and hospitalers… long story short, eventually all crusaders left, and the Muslim Mamluks ruled it from the 13th century.</p>
1070.  
1071.  
1072.  
1073. <p>When the Ottomans occupied the land in the 16th century, the Jewish community in Hebron was small, but had lived there continuously for a long time. After the expulsion from Spain in 1492, even more Jews had joined them. From the 16th century, there are four main centers for Jewish life in Palestine, and they’re all considered Jewish holy cities: Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, and Safed. In the early 19th century, a group of European Ashkenazi Jews came to Hebron as well, building separate synagogues, and didn’t intermarry with the local Sephardi Jews who spoke Arabic and were more integrated with the local Muslims.</p>

1078.  
1079.  
1080.  
1081. <p>The British arrived in 1917, and 12 years later, the Arabs of Hebron instigated the 1929 Hebron massacre in which somewhere between 64 to 69 Jews were murdered and synagogues were destroyed. Some Jews ran to hide in their Arab neighbors’ homes. A few Jews moved back to Hebron two years later, but when the great Arab Revolt broke out in 1936, the British removed the Jews by force – only one Jew, Ya’akov ben Shalom Ezra, stayed. He was an 8th-generation Hebronite. But even he had to leave in 1947 after the UN partition vote, anticipating the War of Independence in 1948. Israel won the war, but Hebron was left behind the green line – in Jordanian hands, ending a continuous Jewish presence in the city since medieval times, at least.</p>
1082.  
1083.  
1084.  
1085. <p>The 1949 armistice included a clause allowing Jewish pilgrims to visit Jewish holy sites but, as with East Jerusalem, Jordan broke its promises, and banned all Jews – of all nationalities – entry to Hebron. During the 1950s, all signs that Jews had ever lived in Hebron were removed.</p>
1086.  
1087.  
1088.  
1089. <p>And then Jordan attacked Israel in 1967 and, as a result, lost its West Bank territory – biblical Judea and Samaria – to Israel. Initially, Israel didn’t want to allow settler activity at all, hoping to return the land in exchange for peace, but already by 1968, a group of Israeli Jews pretending to be tourists checked into a hotel in Hebron and refused to leave, eventually reaching a deal where they were allowed to set up a settlement nearby. They named it Kiryat Arba, after Hebron’s ancient alternative name.</p>
1090.  
1091.  
1092.  
1093. <p>The settlement enterprise had its ups and downs, and to this day there are Jewish settlers both within the city of Hebron itself and in settlements outside. Due to the significance of the city in Judaism – being Abraham’s burial place, – Hebron was never fully given over to the Palestinian Authority in the Oslo Accords like Ramallah or Jenin were.</p>
1094.  
1095.  
1096.  
1097. <p>When Benjamin Netanyahu became Prime Minister in 1996, the question of Hebron was still unsolved, and he reached an agreement with Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Yasser Arafat about dividing the city into two parts, H1 and H2, where H1, with 120,000 Palestinians, was to be under the PA rule, and H2, which included the older historic parts of Hebron and had 30,000 Palestinians and 700 Israeli settlers, was to be under Israeli military control.</p>
1098.  
1099.  
1100.  
1101. <p>Today, Hebron is in many ways a microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.</p>
1102.  
1103.  
1104.  
1105. <p>There are many cities in Israel where Jews and Arabs live in proximity to one another, but Hebron is extreme, as both sides here often are radicalized. Extremist settlers and extremist Palestinians live extremely close to one another, often carrying out attacks against one another that radicalize the other side even further.</p>
1106.  
1107.  
1108.  
1109. <p>The unclear legal status of the area makes it a “wild west” of sorts, and internal Palestinian clan wars and corruption have undermined the PA’s ability to control the city. It’s the spot where the worst-ever terror attack by a Jew was carried out when, in 1994, Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Palestinians in the Machpelah Cave mosque.</p>
1110.  
1111.  
1112.  
1113. <p>It is also a stronghold where many Palestinian terror attacks have taken place or originated, chiefly by members of the Qawasmeh Tribe, who dominate Hamas in Hebron. This included the suicide attacks in Beersheva in 2004, in which 16 Israelis were murdered; the kidnapping and murder of three yeshiva students in 2014, which triggered the (Tsuk Eitan Gaza War); and the 2003 terror attack in Haifa, which killed 17 people, including the 14-year-old Messianic Jewish girl Abigail Litle.</p>
1114.

1117. <p>Despite all this, there are also glimmers of hope. In Hebron, all sides have access to the Machpelah Cave, which is no longer just a mosque, but half of it has been used as a synagogue since 1968. During Jewish and Muslim holidays, the religion celebrating a holiday will have full access to the entire complex, but most of the time, it is a shared shrine to Abraham. There have been controversies and fights about the Machpelah site, but due to IDF’s strict control, the status quo has been maintained, and no dangerous events leading to deaths have occurred since the 1994 shooting. If this status can be maintained, it is a nice reflection and perpetuation of the verse: “His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the Cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite” (Genesis 25:9). Maybe one day this city could become a reflection of its name – a place of alliance.</p>

1168.  
1169.  
1170. <p>Below are five popular lies about the Rapture.</p>
1171.  
1172.  
1173.  
1174. <h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Belief In The Rapture Began With John Darby</h4>
1175.  
1176.  
1177.  
1178. <p>Despite clear and overwhelming evidence to the contrary, most Christians remain convinced that belief in the pre-Tribulation rapture began with John Darby. They claim that since no one in the church held this viewpoint prior to the 19th century, we shouldn&#8217;t ascribe to something no one believed before the time of Darby.</p>
1179.  
1180.  
1181.  
1182. <p>This assertion is blatantly false.</p>
1183.  
1184.  
1185.  
1186. <p>In AD 180, Irenaeus wrote&nbsp;&#8220;Against Heresies&#8221;&nbsp;to refute the errors of Gnosticism. In Book 5, Chapter 29, of&nbsp;&#8220;Against Heresies&#8221;&nbsp;he wrote these words:</p>
1187.  
1188.  
1189.  
1190. <p>&#8220;And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, &#8216;There shall be Tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.'&#8221;</p>
1191.  
1192.  
1193.  
1194. <p>In the above quote, this early prominent early church theologian used the same Greek word for &#8220;caught up,&#8221;&nbsp;<em>harpazo</em>, that Paul used in&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%204.17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thessalonians 4:17</a>, a favorite rapture verse of many. He clearly had this passage in mind.</p>
1195.  
1196.  
1197.  
1198. <p>While his words don’t specify a pre-Tribulation rapture, they do reveal Irenaeus&#8217; belief that the event portrayed in&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%204.17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thessalonians 4:17</a>, the&nbsp;<em>harpazo</em>, would come before a time of extended Tribulation on the earth as presented in&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Matt%2024.21ff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew 24:21ff</a>&nbsp;during which time the church would be absent from the earth.</p>
1199.  
1200.  
1201.  
1202. <p>His words also confirm an early belief in Jesus&#8217; appearance for His church that’s separate from the Second Coming. He didn’t combine the two events as most do today.</p>
1203.  
1204.  
1205.  
1206. <p class="has-link-color wp-elements-556f79a29eded6866d30ead0adcce645">In my book,&nbsp;&#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Redeemed-Eternal-Perspective-Perilous/dp/1948014556/ref=rvi_d_sccl_4/141-9799379-7676708?content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&amp;pd_rd_i=1948014556&amp;pd_rd_r=a05f243c-5276-448b-89e2-150a27c6be3a&amp;pd_rd_w=ni9R2&amp;pd_rd_wg=AcZRm&amp;pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&amp;pf_rd_r=BR4Y078H3E54G8YFGF2F&amp;psc=1">The Triumph of the Redeemed</a>,&#8221; I document beliefs similar to that of Irenaeus in the following documents or writers:</p>
1207.  
1208.  
1209.  
1210. <ul>
1211. <li>The Shepherd of Hermas (about AD 140)</li>
1212.  
1213.  
1214.  
1215. <li>Cyprian (AD 200–258)</li>
1216.  
1217.  
1218.  
1219. <li>The Apocalypse of Elijah (Third Century AD)</li>
1220.  
1221.  
1222.  
1223. <li>Ephraim the Syrian (AD 306–373)</li>
1224.  
1225.  
1226.  
1227. <li>Morgan Edwards (1722–1795)</li>
1228. </ul>
1229.  
1230.  
1231.  
1232. <p>Each of the above examples, which predate John Darby by an exceptionally long time, express the belief that Jesus would remove His church from the earth before a period of extended judgment upon it. Ephraim clearly believed in a pre-Tribulation rapture although Morgan Edwards placed it at the midpoint of the Tribulation.</p>
1233.  
1234.  
1235.  
1236. <p>Ongoing research into the history of the church continues to uncover more occurrences of a belief in the removal of the church from the world followed by a time of tribulation and after that, the Second Coming.</p>
1237.  
1238.  
1239.  
1240. <p>In his book,&nbsp;&#8220;Dispensationalism Before Darby,&#8221; Dr. William C. Watson devoted an entire chapter to instances of belief in the rapture during 17th century England. In a few of the cases, writers used the word &#8220;rapture&#8221; while others referred to some who would be &#8220;left behind.&#8221; Church history is full of references, long before the time of Darby, that place Jesus&#8217; appearing for His church before a time of tribulation that precedes the Second Coming.</p>

1247.  
1248. <h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. There&#8217;s No Mention Of It In Scripture</h4>
1249.  
1250.  
1251.  
1252. <p>Many scoffers of our hope like to point out that the Bible doesn&#8217;t contain the word &#8220;rapture.&#8221; Such an assertion deceptively implies that there’s no such event described in Scripture, which again is totally false.</p>
1253.  
1254.  
1255.  
1256. <p>The late Dr. Ed Hindson, former professor at Liberty University, acclaimed Bible scholar, and author, put it this way:</p>
1257.  
1258.  
1259.  
1260. <p>&#8220;If you disagree on the timing of the rapture, please don’t tell people, &#8216;There’s never going to be a rapture.&#8217; No, there must be a rapture or the Bible is not true. There must be a time when the archangel shouts, when the trumpet sounds, and the dead in Christ are raised and the living are caught up (1 Thess. 4:13–18). We may differ on the timing of the rapture but not the fact of the rapture.&#8221;</p>
1261.  
1262.  
1263.  
1264. <p>It&#8217;s true that John Darby helped popularize the application of the word &#8220;rapture&#8221; to the event that Paul describes in&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%204.13%E2%80%9318" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thessalonians 4:13–18</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Cor%2015.50-55" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Corinthians 15:50-55</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Phil%203.20-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philippians 3:20-21</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Titus%202.11-14" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titus 2:11-14</a>. However, giving it a name is far different than creating it.</p>
1265.  
1266.  
1267.  
1268. <p>The event we refer to as the &#8220;rapture&#8221; occurs in the Bible; it’s just not labelled as such that in our English translations of Scripture.</p>
1269.  
1270.  
1271.  
1272. <h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Belief In The Rapture Is Escapism</h4>
1273.  
1274.  
1275.  
1276. <p>Another falsehood used to discredit the rapture is that its proponents just want to escape tumultuous times on the earth. In other words, we are just seeking to avoid the Tribulation that Jesus said would be the experience of His followers.</p>
1277.  
1278.  
1279.  
1280. <p>First, there’s a significance difference between the persecution and affliction that we experience because of our faith and the outpouring of God&#8217;s wrath during the Day of the Lord. Second, our belief stems from what Paul wrote about Jesus coming for us before this awful period of Tribulation begins (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%205.1-10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thess. 5:1-10</a>).</p>
1281.  
1282.  
1283.  
1284. <p>I love the response of John Walvoord to such criticism:&nbsp;</p>
1285.  
1286.  
1287.  
1288. <p>&#8220;Is it an unworthy motive to desire to escape the Great Tribulation? Actually, it is no more so than the desire to escape hell. The point in either case is not our desire or wishes but the question as to what the Scriptures promise. Pretribulationists hope to escape the Great Tribulation because it is expressly a time of divine judgment on a world that has rejected Christ. But the Scriptures also reveal the Great Tribulation as a time of satanic wrath against Israel and believers in Christ who are living at the time. The Great Tribulation is a time of both divine wrath and satanic wrath.&#8221;</p>
1289.  
1290.  
1291.  
1292. <p>Our hope for missing the Tribulation period rests on the words or Scripture rather than our desire to escape trouble. And as Walvoord points out, how is our desire to escape God’s wrath on earth any different than that of wanting to avoid it in the lake of fire?</p>
1293.  
1294.  
1295.  
1296. <h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Those Who Believe In The Rapture Don&#8217;t Care About The Current World</h4>
1297.  
1298.  
1299.  
1300. <p>This falsehood is more of an attack on us who believe in the rapture than against the teaching itself. Again, the idea that we don’t care about this world or its inhabitants is simply not true of the majority of those who daily watch for Jesus&#8217; appearing.</p>
1301.  
1302.  
1303.  
1304. <p>Scholar and author, Dr. Grant R. Jeffrey, wrote the following concerning the myth-based assertion that belief in the rapture causes us to cease caring about this world and its people:</p>
1305.  
1306.  
1307.  
1308. <p>&#8220;For the past two centuries, churches that enthusiastically taught the literal premillennial and pretribulation return of Jesus have been at the forefront of the worldwide medical missions as well as missionary efforts to reach the lost.&#8221;</p>
1309.  
1310.  
1311.  
1312. <p>Of course there will be exceptions, but from what I see, there&#8217;s no lack of compassion for the hurting and lost among those that wait expectancy for Jesus&#8217; appearing. Belief in the Rapture, if anything, accelerates the desire of most to give generously to help the poor and support the spread of Gospel.</p>
1313.  
1314.  
1315.  
1316. <h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Jesus Doesn&#8217;t Intervene In Our World Until The End Of The Age</h4>
1317.  
1318.  
1319.  
1320. <p>Those that believe the preceding falsehoods pertaining to the rapture say the next event on God’s prophetic calendar is an end-of-the-age return of Jesus to initiate the eternal state.</p>
1321.  
1322.  
1323.  
1324. <p>Many pastors convey such a scenario by preaching that all believers today will someday die. I have heard this proclaimed several times from the pulpit in churches that I have attended in the past. Such teaching directly contradicts the New Testament; Paul tells us there will be saints alive at the time of Jesus&#8217; appearing (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Cor%2015.51" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Cor. 15:51</a>;&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%204.17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thess. 4:17</a>).</p>
1325.  
1326.  
1327.  
1328. <p>The New Testament belief in Jesus&#8217; imminent appearing doesn&#8217;t place an end date on this expectancy, but asserts that it&nbsp;could&nbsp;happen at any moment. The abundance of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the Tribulation period tell us that it’s likely that most believers today will meet Jesus in the air before they die. Though not a certainty, it’s a viable expectation for the day in which we live.</p>
1329.  
1330.  
1331.  
1332. <p>A careful study of the words in the texts describing Jesus&#8217; appearing and the Second Coming reveal that they cannot be the same event. At the time of the rapture, Jesus raises the dead saints immediately; it&#8217;s the very first thing He does (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/1%20Thess%204.13-17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Thess. 4:13-17</a>). When He returns to the earth, several major events take place before He raises His followers (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Rev%2019.17-20.4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rev. 19:17-20:4</a>); it’s likely that the resurrection doesn’t happen the same day because of the many intervening events.</p>
1333.  
1334.  
1335.  
1336. <p>A careful study reveals an abundance of other stark differences between the two events that make it impossible for one to say they happen at the same time. Prominent early church theologians such as Irenaeus and Cyprian wrote that Jesus would come for His church before a time of Tribulation on the earth, Jesus&#8217; Second Coming after that. Some &#8220;post-Tribulationists&#8221; such as Robert Gundry place the bowl judgments in-between the rapture and Jesus&#8217; return to the earth.</p>
1337.  
1338.  
1339.  
1340. <p>Why do so many Christians cling to falsehoods about the rapture? It’s because they start with beliefs regarding the end times that make such an occurrence impossible.</p>
1341.  
1342.  
1343.  
1344. <p>The most popular views regarding Bible prophecy claim that most of the book of Revelation is symbolism, code exclusively for first century AD saints, or past history (fulfilled prophecy). These widely accepted viewpoints presuppose that there cannot be a rapture, which explains its unpopularity in most churches.</p>

1492. <p>Brand noted that throughout his life he&#8217;s tried all kinds of different substances in hopes of feeling some type of transcendental experience.

1687. <p>Chancellor Jonathan Falwell&nbsp;<a href="https://www.liberty.edu/news/2024/04/25/students-fill-academic-lawn-prayer-chapel-for-end-of-semester-praise-and-worship/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told&nbsp;</a>the students, &#8220;How amazing it is that Liberty students come to our lawn, and what we do rather than attacking one another is lift up the name of the only One who is worthy of our praise, and that is Jesus Christ, King of kings, and Lord of lords.&#8221;</p>
1688.  
1689.  
1690.  
1691. <p>Falwell, who is also the pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/liberty-university-holds-massive-public-prayer-gathering-anti-israel-mobs-arrested-columbia-usc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fox News</a>&nbsp;that Liberty University is shining as a light in the darkness.</p>
1692.  
1693.  
1694.  
1695. <p>&#8220;While so <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/news/us/revival-is-here-thousands-turn-to-jesus-at-2-us-party-school-hundreds-get-baptized-in-fountain/" title="">many campuses </a>are erupting in anger, hatred, and violence; it is refreshing to see the students at Liberty University reflecting the love of Christ as we are commanded to do by Scripture,&#8221; he told the outlet.&nbsp;</p>

1702.  
1703. <p>&#8220;Jesus clearly tells us to love, and it is so telling that in higher education today, it seems as if some of the only places where love is being displayed are from the campuses of Christian universities like Liberty University,&#8221; Falwell continued.&nbsp;</p>
1704.  
1705.  
1706.  
1707. <p>The school&#8217;s peaceful, Christ-focused, worship gathering stands in stark contrast to dozens of <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/murder-plaguing-college-campuses-christian-university-student-strangled/" title="">students being arrested </a>at Yale University, NYU, the University of Southern California, the University of Texas at Austin, and Emerson College this week.</p>
1708.  
1709.  
1710.  
1711. <p>Even with Israel under fire from Hezbollah, Iran, and Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the number of anti-Israel demonstrations at prestigious universities continues to grow.&nbsp;</p>
1712.  
1713.  
1714.

1754.  
1755.  
1756. <p>Why aren’t more people talking about this?&nbsp; </p>
1757.  
1758.  
1759.  
1760. <p>A white horse that was covered in red blood up to the bridle just went on a rampage through the streets of one of the most important cities on the entire planet, <a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/is-this-new-technology-part-of-end-times-prophecy/" title="">and almost everyone is ignoring it.</a>&nbsp;It was accompanied by a black horse that had also gotten loose.&nbsp;</p>

1765.  
1766.  
1767.  
1768. <p>The two horses actually rampaged through the streets of London for six miles before authorities were able to catch them.&nbsp;Along the way, the horses&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13347535/Moment-Household-Cavalry-horses-spooked-separate-incident-runaway.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rammed into a tour bus and a taxi</a>.</p>
1769.  
1770.  
1771.  
1772. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
1773. <p>Horses slammed into a tour bus parked on Buckingham Palace Road and a taxi outside the Clermont Hotel – smashing their windows – before two were seen running through Aldwych with their chests covered in blood.</p>
1774.  
1775.  
1776.  
1777. <p>The horses rampaged for six miles before they were finally caught in Limehouse, east London. The injured horses saw a vet and all of the animals are now back with the Army.</p>
1778.  
1779.  
1780.  
1781. <p>A British Army spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the animals were &#8216;spooked by construction works&#8217; when building materials were &#8216;dropped from a height.&#8217;</p>
1782. </blockquote>
1783.  
1784.  
1785.  
1786. <p>In my entire life, I have never seen anything like this.</p>
1787.  
1788.  
1789.  
1790. <p>At some point, the white horse suffered a broken leg, and that is why there was so much blood.</p>
1791.  
1792.  
1793.  
1794. <p>Thankfully, vets were able to treat the white horse&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13347535/Moment-Household-Cavalry-horses-spooked-separate-incident-runaway.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and stop the bleeding</a>.</p>
1795.  
1796.  
1797.  
1798. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
1799. <p>Footage of two horses being caught outside Gordon House on the Glamis Estate in Limehouse, east London, appeared to show that the white horse had broken its leg.</p>
1800.  
1801.  
1802.  
1803. <p>Still drenched in blood, the horse’s back left leg was bandaged and the animal seemed unwilling to walk on it.</p>
1804.  
1805.  
1806.  
1807. <p>Held at the side of the road by several officers, the white horse bled all over the road and was treated by vets at the scene.</p>
1808.  
1809.  
1810.  
1811. <p>Footage shows it bleeding profusely from its back leg as police gathered around to stem the flow.</p>
1812. </blockquote>
1813.  
1814.  
1815.  
1816. <p>Hopefully there is no lasting damage to any of the horses.</p>
1817.  
1818.  
1819.  
1820. <p>So why is this story important?</p>

1825.  
1826.  
1827.  
1828. <p>Well, when a lot of people saw this they were instantly reminded of <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/heres-the-deal/larry-tomczak-understanding-the-end-times-for-non-dummies/" title="">the four horses in the book of Revelation.</a>&nbsp;For example, the following is what Sharon K.

1829.  
1830.  
1831.  
1832. <p>&#8220;A white horse, covered in blood, and a black horse rush through the streets of London. White, red, black. Prophetic sign? Is a pale green horse next?&#8221;</p>
1833.  
1834.  
1835.  
1836. <p>Of course many others are convinced that this tragic accident was just a &#8220;coincidence.&#8221;</p>
1837.  
1838.  
1839.  
1840. <p>Maybe they are right. I don’t know.</p>
1841.  
1842.  
1843.  
1844. <p>But any story that pops up in the news about a &#8220;white horse&#8221; is always going to get my attention.</p>

1890. <p>Hundley says he has spent time with investigators as they try to figure out the cause of<a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/mandisa-is-home-grammy-winning-christian-artist-mandisa-dies-at-47/" title=""> Mandisa’s death</a>.

1891.  
1892.  
1893.  
1894. <p>&#8220;Here’s what I think happened,&#8221; Hundley said. “Mandisa fell down in her bedroom. They found her on the floor. If you look from the rear of her bed, she was laying on the left side. It’s clear that’s where she was laying…I found her phone on the right side of the bed. There was no way for Mandisa to get around the bed and go up there and get her phone to call for help.&#8221;</p>

1947. <p>&#8220;Yesterday, <a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/police-shut-down-mike-signorelli-and-jenny-weaver-baptisms/" title="">I got baptized</a>, and it was an incredible, profound experience,&#8221; Brand says in a video posted to Facebook. &#8220;Many aspects of it were very intimate and personal.&#8221;</p>

1953.  
1954. <p>Brand noted that throughout his life he&#8217;s tried all kinds of different substances in hopes of feeling some type of transcendental experience. He&#8217;s wanted desperately to connect to something in a spiritual manner, but all other things have failed him. However, becoming a new creation in Christ has made all the difference. Now, Brand feels the peace that surpasses all understanding that only God can give.</p>

1960.  
1961.  
1962. <p>&#8220;Something occurred in the process of baptism that was incredible, overwhelming,&#8221; Brand says. &#8220;I felt changed, transitioned.&#8221;</p>
1963.  
1964.  
1965.  
1966. <p>While acknowledging the fact that he still lives <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/russell-brand-reveals-why-he-wears-a-cross-and-is-reading-the-bible-a-lot-more/" title="">in the world</a> and must actively engage with work, family and other elements of life, he knows that there is a greater power at work within him now. While some may see him as just another celebrity doing something for attention, Brand says this isn’t the case. Instead, he says he knows what it’s like to be poor, to be an addict and to be famous. In all of these scenarios what he actually needed was God.</p>

1969.  
1970. <p>&#8220;This is new for me. I’m learning, and I will make mistakes. But this is my path now. And I already feel incredibly blessed, relieved, nourished, held. It’s been an incredible experience,&#8221; Brand says.</p>
1971.  
1972.  
1973.  
1974. <p>Brand believes sharing his baptismal experience is part of his ministry and his mission.</p>
1975.

2039. <p>Attorneys for Dad’s Place Pastor Chris Avell filed a motion Apr. 25, to show cause against Bryan, Ohio, on the basis officials purportedly failed to abide by an agreement requiring them to notify the court if they planned to take any such actions against the pastor.</p>

2046.  
2047. <p>The lawyers said Friday the city indeed served Avell &#8220;with new criminal charges for keeping his church open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.&#8221;</p>
2048.  
2049.  
2050.  
2051. <p>In a press release from First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal firm representing Avell, the attorneys alleged police and fire officials showed up at Dad’s Place one morning this week at 5:30 a.m. for an “unannounced inspection” that once again yielded violations.</p>
2052.  
2053.  
2054.  
2055. <p>&#8220;[They] alleged fire code violations, and threatened fines of $1,000 per day if the church does not immediately halt its 24-hour ministry beginning on May 1, 2024,&#8221; the release said. &#8220;This was the second time officials arrived for an inspection at 5:30 a.m.&#8221;</p>
2056.

2059. <p><strong>A Reversal of Recent Reports</strong></p>
2060.  
2061.  
2062.  
2063. <p>This latest row comes after it recently appeared a resolution was in sight. Statehouse News Bureau&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statenews.org/news/2024-02-07/charges-dropped-against-pastor-who-housed-homeless-people-overnight">reported</a>&nbsp;in February Bryan officials had moved to ax criminal charges against Avell amid accusations he violated city zoning rules.</p>
2064.  
2065.  
2066.  
2067. <p>The outlet did&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statenews.org/news/2024-02-07/charges-dropped-against-pastor-who-housed-homeless-people-overnight">note</a>&nbsp;Bryan officials reserved the right to refile charges as detailed in a motion to dismiss. News of the potential dismissal had come after Avell and his church&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wfft.com/news/bryan-leaders-look-forward-with-lawsuit-and-zoning-charges-looming-between-church-and-city/article_bf712500-c242-11ee-948b-53d7bec52a23.html">filed a federal lawsuit</a>&nbsp;against the city. According to the most recent First Liberty press release, Avell and the church were engaged earlier this year in what they called &#8220;good faith settlement discussions.&#8221;</p>
2068.  
2069.  
2070.  
2071. <p>&#8220;Hoping to resolve this case and in reliance on the city’s representations to the Court that they would take no further enforcement actions against the church, the church agreed to cancel the preliminary injunction hearing originally scheduled before this Court on Mar. 4,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;Since that time, the church has addressed many of the alleged safety concerns raised by the city.&#8221;</p>
2072.  
2073.  
2074.  
2075. <p>But new criminal charges against Avell and the church have attorneys claiming city officials have no regard for the Constitution.</p>
2076.  
2077.

2080.  
2081.  
2082.  
2083. <p>&#8220;City officials demonstrated once again that they have no respect for the First Amendment or for the court,&#8221; Jeremy Dys, senior counsel for First Liberty, said in a statement. &#8220;The city&#8217;s blatant hostility toward Dad’s Place and the court is repugnant.&#8221;</p>
2084.  
2085.  
2086.  
2087. <p>As CBN News previously reported, the case against Avell originated late last year, with the pastor refusing to back down from officials’ demands to stop housing the homeless.</p>
2088.  
2089.  
2090.  
2091. <p>&#8220;[Pastor Chris Avell&#8217;s] facing 18 criminal charges for violating the city’s zoning laws,&#8221; a news release from First Liberty&nbsp;<a href="https://firstliberty.org/news/ohio-pastor-charged-for-opening-church-to-the-homeless/">read</a>&nbsp;at the time. &#8220;The city is going after him, because, earlier this year, <a href="https://mycharisma.com/article/the-prodigal-son-turned-preacher/" title="">Pastor Chris opened the church 24 hours a day,</a> seven days a week. He’s seeking to serve homeless people.&#8221;</p>

2143. <p>Recently, the YouTube channel Ruin Road posted a now-viral video featuring the abandoned megachurch complex of the Akron Baptist Temple.</p>
2144.  
2145.  
2146.  
2147. <p>But something about Akron Baptist has struck a cord with many viewers as it is well on it&#8217;s way to becoming the channels most-watched video to date, currently sitting at 750,000 views since Apr. 6.</p>

2155. <p>A crew from the YouTube channel embarked on a mission of discovery into the halls that once held thousands of worshippers on Sunday mornings.</p>
2156.  
2157.  
2158.  
2159. <p>Boasting a massive radio and ministry media for it&#8217;s time, the church is littered with abandoned cassette tapes and VHS recordings of old sermons, as well as in-house produced gospel music tracks and a radio program.</p>
2160.  
2161.  
2162.  
2163. <p>Leaning into a deep-history lesson as they walk the abandoned rooms throughout the church grounds, you feel as though you are living the history of that church with those in attendance over the decades.</p>

2166.  
2167. <p>&#8220;Sitting in the southern side of Akron, Ohio, lies the decaying remains of the Akron Baptist Temple a vast expanse of building that was one of the first mega churches in the United States,&#8221; the documentary shares. &#8220;Akron Baptist Temple would get its modest beginnings in 1935 with just 80 members it was headed by Dallas F. Billington, a southern evangelist who had moved to Akron to work at Goodyear Tire.&#8221;</p>
2168.  
2169.  
2170.  
2171. <p>Throughout the church&#8217;s history it endured much, from expansive growth and new constructions to a devastating fire in the 1970s, suspected to be from arsonists.</p>

2179. <p>As the short documentary closes with before and after video of what the Akron Baptist Temple looked like during it&#8217;s heyday, to the tune of &#8220;It Is Well With My Soul&#8221; sung by the Akron Baptist Chorale, one can&#8217;t help but think back on our own past histories of church attendance.</p>

2263. <p>&#8220;We responded to the gathering here,&#8221; a law enforcement officer said. &#8220;Now this is private property, and they’re asking that you guys leave. I need the crowd to disperse and you guys need to go right now.&#8221;</p>

2271. <p>Before the event concluded, Signorelli was allowed to let one more person get baptized. With all grace and kindness, Signorelli respected what the police was asking for.</p>
2272.  
2273.  
2274.  
2275. <p>&#8220;How many of you guys are thankful for our local law enforcement?&#8221; Signorelli asked.</p>
2276.  
2277.  
2278.  
2279. <p>The crowd cheered, and then one additional person chimed up that she still wanted to be baptized. The police officer allowed for her to hop in the back of the truck where the<a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/jenny-weaver-plans-massive-baptism-of-nearly-2000-after-200-accept-christ/" title=""> baptism pool </a>was to take the plunge.</p>
2280.  
2281.  
2282.  
2283. <p>&#8220;One more,&#8221; Signorelli and the crowd pleaded for the young woman to get baptized. &#8220;There&#8217;s only one…We’ll do this one and we&#8217;re done.&#8221;</p>
2284.  
2285.  
2286.

2348. <p>Weaver also wrote on Facebook about how God has placed it on her heart to focus on baptisms during this time. </p>

2352. <p>&#8220;The <a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/jenny-weaver-warns-of-the-two-priesthoods-rising-in-2024/" title="">Lord spoke to me</a> in march and said, &#8216;This will be the summer of baptisms,'&#8221; Weaver wrote. &#8220;Later the Lord revealed that it&#8217;s a part of His plan for getting the church ready for His coming. I believe salvations, deliverance and baptisms are the way the Lord is cleaning up the bride and getting her spotless and ready.&#8221;</p>
2353.  
2354.  
2355.  
2356. <p>V1 Church posted on Facebook about the experience. &#8220;Can you believe we baptized people in a parking lot in Miami?? Whatever it takes to get the gospel out!&#8221;</p>

2361.  
2362.  
2363. <p>While these baptisms were shut down, this event showcases how the Holy Spirit is working right now. The hunger for people to experience a new life with Christ to the point of getting baptized in a parking lot proves that God can and does change lives all the time. There is no place, no past and no sin too great for His unwavering love to transform us from the inside out.</p>

2402.  
2403. <p>One of the most recent warnings about <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/when-will-ai-outsmart-humans/" title="">facial recognition technology</a> is its potential to predict the political orientation of people simply based on their photos, even without expressions.</p>
2404.  
2405.  
2406.  
2407. <p>Fox News reported a study by the American Psychologist journey which says artificial intelligence&#8217;s ability to guess someone&#8217;s political affiliation is &#8220;on par with how well job interviews predict job success, or alcohol drives aggressiveness.&#8221;</p>

2415. <p>This eerie study comes as Apple received a patent last year for their &#8220;next-generation of Airpods Sensor System&#8221; as Patently Apple noted, which has the potential to measure the brain activity of its users.</p>
2416.  
2417.  
2418.  
2419. <p>So, what does this all mean? If technology is at the point where we can no longer keep the most personal, private information to ourselves, then those who have evil intentions can plot and plan with ill-will in their hearts.</p>
2420.  
2421.  
2422.  
2423. <p>Before It&#8217;s News and The People&#8217;s Voice on Rumble reported that the U.N. has worked on a &#8220;toolkit to &#8216;debunk&#8217; and &#8216;prebunk&#8217; anyone who dares to suggest the global elite are anything but completely honest.&#8221;</p>

2427. <p>When it comes to<a href="https://mycharisma.com/article/ai-and-the-great-deception/" title=""> technology and new cultural norms</a> or positions being infiltrated through the media  government, and big corporations, we must use discernment. </p>
2428.  
2429.  
2430.  
2431. <p>So, could the use of artificial intelligence to learn more information about people’s political and religious backgrounds make them a target by those who disagree?</p>

2439. <p>Revelation 13:16-17 discusses the mark of the beast, which says that both rich and poor must have this mark either on their forehead or right hand, otherwise they will not be able to buy or sell. There is coming a time when going against the grain will not be acceptable at all by society.</p>
2440.  
2441.  
2442.  
2443. <p>In Matthew 10, Jesus speaks of the coming persecution for His followers. Verse 22 is very clear: &#8220;You will be hated by all men for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.&#8221;</p>

Life was hard, but my mom was a spiritual powerhouse and made sure we were in church. We attended a small Spanish Pentecostal church in our community, and even though we weren’t Hispanic and didn’t understand what was happening at times, we felt the move of the Spirit, which transcended any language barrier.</p>
2626.  
2627.  
2628.  
2629. <p>I carried the heavy mantle of being the man of the house after a string of abusive men came and went. As soon as I was able to work, I held every kind of job you could think of with the pressure of helping to keep the family afloat.</p>
2630.  
2631.  
2632.  
2633. <p>At age 15, the trauma of my short life was too much to take, and I cried out to God, saying, “If Your <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/how-the-holy-spirit-can-equip-you-for-every-battle-you-face/" title="">Holy Spirit</a> is real, I want you!” I fell to my knees and wept in my room, pouring out my heart to God in prayer. Suddenly, I found myself speaking in tongues, overcome with<a href="https://mycharisma.com/blogs/fire-in-my-bones/how-to-encourage-a-move-of-the-holy-spirit-in-a-dry-church/" title=""> the power of the Holy Spirit.</a> This personal and private encounter marked me and set in motion a remarkable journey.</p>
2634.  
2635.  
2636.  
2637. <p>A few days later, a woman I had never met approached me on the street. She took one look at me and said, “I know you! I saw you in a dream. You came to my church and preached, and revival broke out!”</p>
2638.  
2639.  
2640.  
2641. <p>She invited me to preach at her church. I reluctantly accepted, even though I was the last person you would ever ask to preach because I was so shy and introverted. I remember my hand shaking in the school lunchroom as I drank my chocolate milk. But I pushed through, and the moment I began to preach, the anointing came upon me. That same woman brought her 4-year-old daughter to me for prayer. The little girl had a decrepit hand, and I laid hands on her. Suddenly, her hand stretched forth, and she was completely healed!</p>
2642.  
2643.  
2644.  
2645. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>V1 Launches</strong></h4>
2646.  
2647.  
2648.  
2649. <p>From the beginning of my ministry, I experienced the supernatural. It wasn’t an option; I needed it to survive. It was never something separate or something I needed to grow into. I read what Jesus did in the New Testament, used His ministry as my model and truly believed it when He said we would do “greater works than these” (John 14:12b). Because of this, my teenage years were marked by powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit.</p>
2650.  
2651.  
2652.  
2653. <p>I graduated high school and became the first person in my family to attend college. I pursued a bachelor’s degree in English at a Big 10 school, and during this time, I lost my faith and became a full-fledged atheist. However, I was “randomly” assigned a roommate who was an Ivy League-educated seminary student, and he destroyed all my arguments against Jesus. God used my roommate to open my eyes, and the Holy Spirit began to remind me of the call on my life that was established before the foundations of the earth.</p>
2654.  
2655.  
2656.  
2657. <p>A few years later at a church conference, I received a prophetic mandate to start a church in New York City. Everyone told me I was crazy, that New York is the place church plants go to die. However, I knew God’s hand was on this crazy vision because people started meeting for our services before my wife and I even moved there. They packed out a home each Sunday for prayer, worship and instruction, desperate for revival in their city. That’s how V1 Church was born. (I tell the whole story in my book,<em> </em>&#8220;From Chaos to Clarity.&#8221;)</p>
2658.  
2659.  
2660.  
2661. <p>V1 spread from homes to a movie theatre, to two locations, then to a small building and now to three physical locations across the U.S. (with several more planned in the coming year) and a massive global online community. In the last four years, V1 has attained Fastest-Growing Church in America status from INJOY Stewardship Solutions, breaking all the organization’s records.</p>

2666.  
2667.  
2668.  
2669. <p>Just a few years later, the pandemic hit, and our city was ground zero for the devastation wreaked by COVID-19. My thriving church was suddenly in a holding pattern, driven to online services we recorded in our living room because we didn’t even have a building to broadcast from. Restless in our home, my wife and I would hear the incessant sounds of ambulance sirens as the vehicles ran to and from a nearby hospital carrying people to the emergency room. With each one that passed, the depression set in more.</p>
2670.  
2671.  
2672.  
2673. <p>But God had begun this work, and we were carrying it forward with frenzied momentum as it exploded week after week. Now we were sidelined in a city with some of the strictest COVID policies in the world. How could I pastor people I couldn’t even see?</p>
2674.  
2675.  
2676.  
2677. <p>On one of the darkest days, my wife looked me in the eyes and said, “It’s time for you to go live on the internet and teach. Because when you teach, people get free and break through to the next level.”</p>
2678.  
2679.  
2680.  
2681. <p>I began ministering online every day. And every day, the number of viewers grew. People were at home and desperately searching for hope and light in this time of darkness, and my audience grew to tens of thousands overnight. There was an uncanny anointing for deliverance and healing—even through cell phones and televisions—as I ministered online. We began receiving reports of countless medically verifiable miracles.</p>
2682.  
2683.  
2684.  
2685. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Demon Slayers Assemble</strong></h4>
2686.  
2687.  
2688.  
2689. <p>As a pastor, I’ve never been known to shy away from tough topics. As I ministered online each day, I touched on subjects such as deliverance, finding freedom from besetting sins and casting out demons. I noticed an increasing interest in my videos on the supernatural; it was as if a large portion of the people watching my videos had never believed demons were real and deliverance was necessary.</p>
2690.  
2691.  
2692.  
2693. <p>People began to report dramatic testimonies as a result of this content, descriptions of being set free in their living rooms, at their work-from-home desks and in their cars. This was how I became acquainted with the Demon Slayers: Vlad Savchuk, Isaiah Saldivar and Alexander Pagani. These men had been teaching on similar topics, and it was a divine convergence when we all connected and began ministering together under that name.</p>
2694.  
2695.  
2696.  
2697. <p>In the meantime, I began to see revival break out in a way I had never personally witnessed. In late 2021, I saw a vision in prayer of a large domino being pushed down in Brooklyn. As we pushed it down, a wave of dominoes began to fall, leading to revival, freedom, healing and deliverance all around the world. This vision sparked the Domino Revival, a 13-city preaching and deliverance tour to specially selected, prophetically significant cities, many of which were sites of old wells of revival.</p>
2698.  
2699.  
2700.  
2701. <p>I’ll never forget the first night of the revival in Brooklyn, New York City. Just one day before the massively publicized first revival night, we received word from city officials that we would not be allowed to meet in the advertised location. The new site they suggested was the very place where, six years earlier when I first arrived in New York, I would sit on a bench, praying and writing sermons while overlooking the city skyline.</p>
2702.  
2703.  
2704.  
2705. <p>Back then, I had no physical church building or office space, but that park bench became my prayer closet. As I prayed, I saw in the Spirit a revival coming to my city. This revival wouldn’t be emotionalism or hype but a genuine proclamation of the gospel, transforming lives and accompanied by the ministry of Jesus through signs, miracles, wonders and deliverance.</p>

2710.  
2711.  
2712.  
2713. <p>Like Cornelius, I had prayed and unknowingly built a monument to heaven (Acts 10). The same park where I showed up six years earlier to pray time and again was now filled with people surrendering to Jesus.</p>
2714.  
2715.  
2716.  
2717. <p>This is how I know revival is here. In a city where evil is praised and righteousness is ridiculed, hearts are turning toward the Father, and the fires of revival are spreading. At each site we visited on the Domino Revival, deliverance was a key part of the ministry.</p>
2718.  
2719.  
2720.  
2721. <p><strong>Breakers Arise</strong></p>
2722.  
2723.  
2724.  
2725. <p>I am no stranger to deliverance ministry. In fact, I began moving in deliverance 20 years ago, before it was popular. As a young teenager at the Spanish church, I witnessed many manifestations of the demonic in our services from people who visited who lived in countries where the practice of witchcraft and <em>santeria</em> were widely accepted.</p>
2726.  
2727.  
2728.  
2729. <p>In desperation, trying to help my pastor, I reached out to deliverance pioneer Apostle John Eckhardt, who lived just 30 minutes away. He probably didn’t know a 15-year-old boy was reaching out, but he sent a team to our church, and they trained us in deliverance.</p>
2730.  
2731.  
2732.  
2733. <p>I believe this ministry is more important now than ever. There is a significant increase in the number of people experiencing counterfeit spiritual experiences. Whether through sage, crystals, tarot, Ouija boards or online horoscopes, people are in search of truth. We also know that drug use, alternative sexual identities and mass confusion are on the rise. In addition, people are leaving traditional churches in droves. That is why we as Christians need to wage an outright crusade against darkness and raise up as many brothers and sisters alongside us as possible to join the fight.</p>
2734.  
2735.  
2736.  
2737. <p>Believers must take seriously the responsibility of preaching the resurrected Christ in this hour. In the midst of false religions and extreme political ideologies, the need for exposing and expelling the devil is great. Deliverance isn’t a niche or a passing trend; it’s an essential piece of ministry, and churches need to realize this.</p>
2738.  
2739.  
2740.  
2741. <p>As demand has increased, I have instituted a regular weekly deliverance service online every Wednesday, open and free of charge to anyone in the world through my trained deliverance team. We also offer deliverance regularly in person at our physical campuses.</p>
2742.  
2743.  
2744.  
2745. <p>We get hundreds of requests for deliverance weekly, far more than we can possibly manage on our own. The ministry of deliverance is not for star preachers or celebrity pastors, and the Demon Slayers don’t have access to a special power that everyone else lacks. Deliverance is something every believer can and should do.</p>
2746.  
2747.  
2748.  
2749. <p>But first, we must train. There is a tremendous need in the body of Christ for equipping and training. Leaders, we must commit ourselves in this hour to make disciples who make disciples. Pastors, we can no longer focus on seating capacity; instead, we must focus on sending capacity.</p>
2750.  
2751.  
2752.  
2753. <p>One way I have sought to address the need for equipping and training is by creating a global community called The Breakers. Breakers are the ones who are committed to breaking generational curses in their bloodline. They are those who say, “It may run in my family, but it runs out with me.”</p>
2754.  
2755.  
2756.  
2757. <p>The Breakers program trains in deliverance, supernatural healing, prophecy and evangelism. Upon completion of the program, Breakers assist me in ministry when I speak across the world. This has become a catalyst for a movement as Breakers fill thousands of movie theaters, city streets and churches to host sustainable revival. As millions slip into deception, it’s encouraging to see tens of thousands rising up to break every chain—in Jesus’ name!</p>
