  50. <p>Memories are short, and important information can get lost over time. That collective memory fog and subsequent events can shape what future generations believe or think, and consequently how they act.</p>
  51.  
  52.  
  53.  
  54. <p>Take Iran, for example. A series of events occurring in <a title="" href="https://www.charismanews.com/tag/iran/">Iran</a> back in 1979 profoundly reshaped the country’s landscape, namely the overthrow of the shah, the rise of the ayatollah, eruptive protests and the establishment of the Islamic Republic.</p>

  60.  
  61.  
  62. <p>Because of these events, the Western world thinks of <a title="" href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/jonathan-cahn-prophecy-israel-iran-and-the-end-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a> as an Islamic nation. But the truth is, Iran is home to the oldest church in the world.&nbsp;</p>
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66. <p>You see, on the day of Pentecost, as documented in the New Testament book of Acts, the global church was born. Iranians were there and among the very first converts to Christ.</p>

  74. <p>As we read Luke’s account in Acts 2, we see that something amazing occurs. The Holy Spirit descends on the apostles and their followers, giving them the ability to speak in other languages. The multitude gathered in Jerusalem for the Shavuot holiday stand, bewildered by what they see, recognizing that these men are from various regions, each with its own language.</p>
  75.  
  76.  
  77.  
  78. <p>Acts 2:7-8a reads: “They were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? How is it that we hear, each in our own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia.'&#8221;</p>

These advancements present both <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/mike-signorelli-new-technology-signals-coming-of-an-another-awakening/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unprecedented opportunities</a> and significant challenges.

  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. <p>AI robots and deepfakes represent just a fraction of the transformative technologies emerging today. AI robots are becoming more sophisticated, and capable of performing tasks that were once thought to be exclusive to humans. Deepfakes, on the other hand, can create highly realistic but false representations of individuals, which can be used to spread misinformation and create confusion.</p>
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. <p>These technologies have the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance productivity and create new forms of engagement and interaction. However, they also pose ethical dilemmas, such as privacy concerns, the spread of false information and the potential for major misuse and far more nefarious things as well.</p>

  319. <p>In today’s episode of “Firepower,” Mario Murillo and Todd Coconato passionately discuss the need for the church to get ahead of these technological advancements. They argue that the church must take a proactive stance and understand the challenges and threats they pose on several fronts.</p>
  320.  
  321.  
  322.  
  323. <p>Historically, the church has often been slow to understand and combat the plan of the enemy to utilize these types of things, and it’s critical that we address the ethical and practical implications of these emerging technologies. With AI and deepfakes, there is a unique opportunity to break this cycle and lead the conversation about their use and implications.</p>
  324.  
  325.  
  326.  
  327. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Importance of Ethical Engagement</strong></h4>
  328.  
  329.  
  330.  
  331. <p>Mario Murillo and Todd Coconato highlight the importance of the church being a moral and ethical guide in the use of these technologies. AI and deepfakes can be powerful tools for spreading the gospel and engaging with a global audience, but they also will bring new threats and ways for the enemy to attack and further entangle people into sinful activities. Immersive technologies can be extremely dangerous when it comes to pyrography and blurring the lines of reality. With so many Christians already struggling with internet porn, how much worse will this get when people actually consider having relationships with and even marrying robots? How will the church address this and the emergence of transhumanism?</p>
  332.  
  333.  
  334.  
  335. <p>It is crucial that these technologies are used with integrity, ensuring that the content remains true to the teachings of the Bible and that privacy and security are maintained. Some are suggesting that AI could be used to write a “new bible” and even impose a new world religion. This is highly concerning and sounds very similar to what the Bible depicts will happen in the last days.</p>

  342.  
  343. <p>Is this the beginning of the beast system? Will the globalists and elites try and introduce a new one-world religion in the next few years? Could technologies such as central bank digital currencies be used to initiate the mark of the beast? These are important questions that must be addressed.</p>
  344.  
  345.  
  346.  
  347. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why You Need to Watch ‘Firepower’</strong></h4>
  348.  
  349.  
  350.  
  351. <p>In this episode of &#8220;Firepower,&#8221; Murillo and Coconato delve into the potential impacts of these technologies on the church and society. They discuss how the church can harness these advancements for good while also addressing the very serious concerns that come with them. You may not hear a conversation like this one anywhere else!</p>
  352.  
  353.  
  354.  
  355. <p>Their conversation is a call to action for the church to become informed and proactive. By understanding these technologies, the church can better navigate the future, using these tools to spread the gospel and serve the community more effectively.</p>
  356.  
  357.  
  358.  
  359. <p>As we stand at the threshold of a new technological era, the call to the people of God is clear: We must be vigilant, informed and proactive. The church has the opportunity to lead by example, demonstrating how to use powerful technologies ethically and effectively. Let us embrace these tools with faith and foresight, using them to glorify God and advance His kingdom on earth.</p>

  556. <p>The Catholic Church is tightening their rules about how to deal with the supernatural.</p>
  557.  
  558.  
  559.  
  560. <p>In a newly released document, the Vatican is advising bishops no longer act alone when dealing with supernatural phenomena such as blood-soaked crucifixes and apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Instead, bishops should consult with the Vatican.</p>
  561.  
  562.  
  563.  
  564. <p>The <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/spiritual-warfare/vatican-braces-for-surge-in-supernatural-events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vatican’s announcement </a>acknowledged that supernatural events “have led to a great richness of spiritual fruits, growth in faith, devotion, fraternity and service.” However, they believe there are times when the supernatural can act as a deterrent away from faithfully following God.</p>
  565.  
  566.  
  567.  
  568. <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong><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>.

  569.  
  570.  
  571.  
  572. <p>“In some events of alleged supernatural origin, there are serious critical issues that are detrimental to the faithful; in these situations, the Church must respond with utmost pastoral solicitude,” the statement reads.</p>
  573.  
  574.  
  575.  
  576. <p>Vatican News reported how this change in rules about the supernatural means “the Church’s authority will no longer be engaged to officially define the supernatural nature of a phenomenon.”</p>
  577.  
  578.  
  579.  
  580. <p>The reason for these new changes is because of an explosion of events that were believed to be of the supernatural origin in the Catholic Church. However, many of these experiences were later determined not to be of this nature.  With a rapid advancement of technology, the Vatican worried its guidelines from 1978 were insufficient to deal with internet hoaxes. </p>
  581.  
  582.  
  583.  
  584. <p>These new guidelines have not changed Vatican officials&#8217; views on the power of God to do miraculous wonders. </p>
  585.  
  586.  
  587.  
  588. <p>As American Magazine reported, Vatican Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández spoke at a press conference stating, “The Holy Spirit, who flows from the hearts of the risen Christ, works in the Church with divine freedom and offers us many valuable gifts that <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/jonathan-cahn-s-end-times-rebuke-for-the-pope-catholic-church/">aid us on the path of life</a> and encourage our spiritual growth in fidelity to the Gospel.”</p>
  589.  
  590.

  593.  
  594.  
  595.  
  596. <p>Unfortunately, the concern over abuse of the gifts has led to these cautionary guidelines.</p>
  597.  
  598.  
  599.  
  600. <p>“The use of such phenomenon to gain profit, power, fame, social recognition or other personal interest,” Fernández says, “[acts] as a means of or pretext for exerting control over people or carrying out abuses.”</p>
  601.  
  602.  
  603.  
  604. <p>Fernández also fears “the possibility of doctrinal errors, an oversimplification of the Gospel message, or the spread of a sectarian mentality.”</p>
  605.  
  606.  
  607.  
  608. <p>For years the Catholic Church has been known for supernatural phenomena like visions and exorcisms. Time will tell how these new guidelines shift the atmosphere in a denomination known for the unexplainable.</p>

  651. <p>The assassination of President Kennedy may have more spiritual significance than anyone first thought.</p>
  652.  
  653.  
  654.  
  655. <p>In a recent video, Perry Stone unlocked a spiritual mystery revolving around JFK’s death.</p>
  656.  
  657.  
  658.  
  659. <p>Recounting details from Pastor Davis, a former missionary in Haiti during Kennedy&#8217;s presidency, Stone says it’s quite possible that an occult leader from Haiti placed a curse over Kennedy, leading to his death. Stone says this would have followed when Kennedy put a blockade on Haiti. The Haitian leader, Francois Duvalier, also known as “Poppa Doc,” was largely into witchcraft and voodoo at the time of Kennedy’s presidency.</p>

  664.  
  665.  
  666.  
  667. <p>One of Duvalier&#8217;s superstitions was that he had one day a month, the 22nd, when he was led and protected by spirits.</p>
  668.  
  669.  
  670.  
  671. <p>“This is the part that came from converted voodoo doctors who were familiar with Papa Doc personally,” Stone says. “Papa Doc was so angry at President Kennedy that he had a voodoo doll made of President Kennedy.”</p>
  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. <p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c7bd3c9b10607bcaadea2bcf15b7ac9c">Stone claims this<a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/can-a-christian-unknowingly-entertain-the-demonic/" title=""> voodoo doll</a> had needles put into the back of its head and that the spirits were sent to the United States to attack and assassinate Kennedy. However, the story gets even darker from here.</p>
  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. <p>“President Kennedy was killed Nov. 22, and was assassinated by a shooting in the back of the head,” Stone says.</p>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.

  684.

  686.  
  687. <p>This uncanny connection alone between Duvalier and Kennedy shows why it’s of the utmost importance to be covered by the blood of Jesus.</p>
  688.  
  689.  
  690.  
  691. <p>“When a person is under the blood of Jesus, protected by the blood of Jesus, there is a protective hedge that comes when you plead the blood, claim the blood of Jesus and you ask the Lord through the power of the blood of Jesus to help you defeat the powers of the enemy,” Stone says.</p>
  692.  
  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>Just as the Israelites covered their doorposts in blood to protect themselves from the angel of death, the blood of Jesus today is our hedge of protection against all powers of the enemy.</p>

  737. <p>While a petition calling for the firing of <a href="https://charismanews.com/news/delusional-super-bowl-champ-slams-biden-over-degenerate-cultural-values/">Harrison Butker</a>, one of the greatest placekickers in the NFL, has gained more than 100,000 signatures, sales of his jersey are skyrocketing. Why all the controversy?</p>
  738.  
  739.  
  740.  
  741. <p>This past Sunday, Butker, who plays for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/navigating-religious-crossroads-a-pastors-journey-from-catholicism-to-christ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is a traditional Catholic</a>, delivered the commencement speech at Benedictine College, a highly ranked, private, liberal arts, traditional Catholic school.</p>
  742.  
  743.  
  744.  
  745. <p>What did he actually say in his speech? Why the outrage, on one hand, and the support, on the other?</p>
  746.  
  747.  
  748.  
  749. <p>He referenced “the COVID fiasco” and stated that “Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”</p>
  750.  
  751.  
  752.  
  753. <p>Butker was pulling no punches. But he was just getting started.</p>
  754.  
  755.  
  756.  
  757. <p>He said, “Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I&#8217;m sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. He is not alone. From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common: They are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn&#8217;t cut it.”</p>
  758.  
  759.  
  760.  
  761. <p>So, Butker, a traditional Catholic, was rebuking nontraditional Catholics, and you can be assured, based on his previous comments (to which he alluded in his speech), the college knew exactly what they were asking for. And he would not hold back, saying, “But if we are going to be men and women for this time in history we need to stop pretending that the ‘Church of nice’ is a winning proposition. We must always speak and act in charity but never mistake charity for cowardice.”</p>
  762.  
  763.  
  764.  
  765. <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Charisma_News/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><em>Breaking news</em></strong></a><strong><em>,</em></strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@charismamagazine/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>Spirit-filled stories</em></strong></a><strong><em>. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!</em></strong></p>
  766.  
  767.  
  768.  
  769. <p>He continued, “Our Catholic faith has always been countercultural. Our Lord along with countless followers were all put to death for their adherence to her teachings. The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion.”</p>
  770.  
  771.  
  772.  
  773. <p>That being said, “Before we even attempt to fix any of the issues plaguing society we must first get our own house in order, and it starts with our leaders.”</p>
  774.  
  775.  
  776.  
  777. <p>Unfortunately:</p>
  778.  
  779.  
  780.  
  781. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  782. <p><em>Today, our shepherds are far more concerned with keeping the doors open to the Chancery than they are saying that difficult stuff out loud. It seems that the only time you hear from your bishops is when it’s time for the annual appeal. Whereas we need our bishops to be vocal about the teachings of the Church, setting aside their own personal comfort and embracing their cross. Our bishops are not politicians, but shepherds. So instead of fitting in the world by going along to get along, they too need to stay in their lane and lead.</em></p>
  783. </blockquote>
  784.  
  785.  
  786.  
  787. <p>And then for the most vilified part of his speech. Addressing the female graduates, he said:</p>
  788.  
  789.  
  790.  
  791. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  792. <p>I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you, how many of you are sitting here now about to cross the stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you’re going to get in your career. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.</p>
  793. </blockquote>
  794.  
  795.  
  796.  
  797. <p>He then explained that he was only able to fulfill his vocation because his wife embraced her own, and that included having children. Oh, the horror.</p>
  798.  
  799.

  802.  
  803.  
  804.  
  805. <p>Then to the men, he said this: “Part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture. And when that is absent disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in this absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation.”</p>
  806.  
  807.  
  808.  
  809. <p>He concluded his talk with praise for the traditional Latin Mass and his affirmation in the Catholic church being God’s true church, but none of this is a surprise, given the setting of his message. The school got just what it asked for.</p>
  810.  
  811.  
  812.  
  813. <p>The reactions of most of the hosts of “The View” reflect the sentiments of many other Americans, who are up in arms over his audacious address. &#8220;If you’re using this to oppress people or hold them down, you’re not walking with Jesus,&#8221; co-host Sara Haines said. She added that by advocating the traditional Latin Mass, he was practicing an &#8220;extremist&#8221; and &#8220;cultlike&#8221; version of Catholicism, while Joy Behar opined that he had &#8220;mother issues&#8221; and should &#8220;get a therapist.&#8221;</p>
  814.  
  815.  
  816.  
  817. <p>Surprisingly, though, it was Whoopi Goldberg who dissented, saying,</p>
  818.  
  819.  
  820.  
  821. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  822. <p> Listen, I like [it] when people say what they need to say. He’s at a Catholic college. He’s a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs and he’s welcome to &#8217;em. I don’t have to believe &#8217;em. I don’t have to accept them … The same way we want respect when [former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist] Colin Kaepernick takes a knee, we want to give respect to people whose ideas are different from ours.</p>
  823. </blockquote>
  824.  
  825.  
  826.  
  827. <p>That is really the bottom line, and Butker’s speech, aside from the Catholic distinctives, points to the great divide in America today between traditional family values and the spirit of the age. That’s why emotions are running so high on each side, from those wanting him fired to those buying his jersey. And, true to form, and in classic Orwellian Doublespeak, the NFL distanced itself from Butker’s speech in the name of “inclusion.” But of course!</p>
  828.  
  829.  
  830.  
  831. <p>How will the Chiefs respond, since Butker’s kicking has helped them win three Super Bowls? We shall see.</p>

  873.  
  874. <p>Christian YouTuber <a href="https://charismanews.com/culture/benny-hinn-breaks-silence-amid-controversy/">Mike Winger</a>, who is an ordained pastor but not currently shepherding a church, recently spoke with Charisma Media’s John Matarazzo about his four-hour video, titled “The Victims of Benny Hinn: 30 years of Spiritual Deception.”</p>
  875.  
  876.  
  877.  
  878. <p>Seventeen days after posting his viral video, Winger shared in a separate video that <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/benny-hinn-prays-for-his-critics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hinn</a> was attempting to get his video, which has over 900,000 views, removed from YouTube. In the four-hour video, Winger argued that Hinn has been financially and spiritually abusive throughout his years of ministry.</p>
  879.  
  880.  
  881.  
  882. <p>Winger’s interview with Charisma comes after Charisma posted a two-part interview with Hinn. Matarazzo said, “We’re trying to platform voices the best way that we can as we see God moving.</p>
  883.  
  884.  
  885.  
  886. <p>“You are not an anti-charismatic-heresy-hunter, but you are a Continuationist,” Matarazzo told Winger.</p>
  887.  
  888.  
  889.  
  890. <p>Winger shared that his ministry consists of answering “tough questions about the Bible” and “verse by verse teaching” online, with the occasional topical discussion, like the one he posted regarding Hinn.</p>
  891.  
  892.  
  893.  
  894. <p>Winger told Matarazzo that many people have assumed he is a Cessationist because of his criticism of Hinn. But there is a “fundamental flaw” when “people will unintentionally think that criticism toward a Charismatic leader is criticism of the gifts,” Winger said.</p>
  895.  
  896.  
  897.  
  898. <p>“I believe in prophecy, tongues, all of those things,” he added. “I think there’s something that God has for believers, and I’m eager to have them. I think about what Scripture tells me about the desire to prophesy, I pray for prophetic things to happen and stuff like that in the church that are genuine and real.</p>
  899.  
  900.  
  901.  
  902. <p>“But,” Winger continued, “I also affirm Scripture when it says test all things [and] hold fast to that which is good, that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, that there will never be fakery in the Christian church … and so I’m zealous for that.”</p>
  903.  
  904.  
  905.  
  906. <p>Later in the interview, Matarazzo asked Winger if he believes Hinn is a Christian. Winger replied by saying that he doesn’t usually “weigh in on” that type of question. However, he added that he has done so in the past, most notably with Joel Osteen, whom Winger believers is misguided but still a Christian.</p>
  907.  
  908.  
  909.  
  910. <p>“But when it came to Benny Hinn, I don’t have that confidence at all,” he said. Winger elaborated, “God is the judge … I’m not actually judging. I’m not sending him anywhere.</p>
  911.  
  912.  
  913.  
  914. <p>“[But] the layers of deception, the consistency of that deception that goes on,” Winger said, “not only things he believes, but things he is actively partaking in massively deceiving large groups of people that is so inconsistent with a Christian, that it’s hard to believe that he really is [a Christian].”</p>
  915.  
  916.  
  917.  
  918. <p>Winger clarified, “By God’s grace I hope he is.” But he added, “I think that he has the marks of a false teacher of the people in 1 Peter.”</p>
  919.  
  920.  
  921.  
  922. <p>Winger said that he made his video about Hinn after receiving a question about whether he believed Hinn was sincere when he<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrryxmAfXIk&amp;t=1066s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> apologized for preaching bad theology.</a></p>
  923.  
  924.  
  925.  
  926. <p>“I’m sorry to say that prosperity has gone a little crazy, and I’m correcting my own theology,” Hinn <a href="https://churchleaders.com/news/358465-has-benny-hinn-repented-of-the-prosperity-gospel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in 2019.</p>
  927.  
  928.  
  929.  
  930. <p>Winger chose not to answer the question at the time because he wanted to wait and see if Hinn would change.</p>

  936.  
  937.  
  938. <p>“Well, four years went by, and I hadn’t talked about it and at some point I thought, you know, now’s a good time to go ahead and address this issue,” Winger told Matarazzo. He said that clips of Hinn had been “surfacing, showing that [Hinn] was doing the same stuff again.”</p>
  939.  
  940.  
  941.  
  942. <p>Winger said, “Very bad stuff. And when I say bad stuff, I don’t mean making mistakes. I mean targeting the poor, talking them into giving you their last penny, even if they’re already in debt.”</p>
  943.  
  944.  
  945.  
  946. <p>“That’s [Hinn’s] specific instruction,” Winger added. “Give all your money, even if you’re already in debt and then God will pay off your debts for you. This is the exact same stuff that he in 2019 said ‘grieves the Holy Spirit and it didn’t work and it hurt people.&#8217;</p>
  947.  
  948.  
  949.  
  950. <p>“He’s doing it again now,” Winger said.</p>
  951.  
  952.  
  953.  
  954. <p>Winger explained that in one video, an announcer on stage can be heard yelling, “She’s perfectly healed! God healed her today.” But then the video shows the woman saying, “Benny, I’m not. I’m hurting. I’m in pain.” Winger said that Hinn then “pulls the microphone away so you don’t hear her or they dubbed some fake guy speaking in tongues over that spot in the video … This is like deliberate deception.</p>
  955.  
  956.  
  957.  
  958. <p>“It makes me mad,” Winger said. “I got mad. I saw their faces. I see this woman who’s got cancer and he’s pushing her down and hurting her onstage and then putting it on camera.</p>
  959.  
  960.  
  961.  
  962. <p>“I found so much more content and it was so much worse than I thought that I felt that there needed to be a red flag,” he explained. Winger said he discovered that Hinn is “surging in popularity” in places like Africa, which made Winger want to warn others about him.</p>
  963.  
  964.  
  965.  
  966. <p>“I care about my brothers and sisters,” Winger said. “A lot of people think this is about Benny Hinn. It’s not. It’s about the Christians. This is about the non-believers watching. This is about everybody but Benny Hinn.</p>
  967.  
  968.  
  969.  
  970. <p>“It’s like when you’re trying to cure a disease. It’s not about the disease. It’s about the people that are infected,” Winger added. “I’m worried about the people being influenced and hurt and harmed by what Benny is doing and people who are copying him and propagate the same harms.”</p>
  971.  
  972.  
  973.  
  974. <p>Winger believes that some people have been healed at Hinn’s services. But he said he doesn’t want them to believe those healings had anything to do with Hinn or his ministry. “That’s the mistake that they’re making,” he said.</p>
  975.  
  976.  
  977.  
  978. <p>“Benny Hinn takes people [and] makes props of them, fakes that more of them are healed than really are healed. [Hinn] tries to play games with it, makes promises about money that aren’t true,” Winger claimed. “Milks the poor and then walks away with a bunch of money and harm that he has caused with obvious fakery that the world can see right through, even if a lot of believers can’t.</p>
  979.  
  980.  
  981.  
  982. <p>“Hinn needs to have a real accounting of his finances and his ministry,” Winger said. “He would need to be open about the deceptions that he’s perpetrated in the name of healing. He has to be open about that.</p>
  983.  
  984.  
  985.  
  986. <p>“It would ruin him,” he added. “It would ruin his reputation, but it would save his soul, I believe, so it would be a beautiful, wonderful thing. And I will be the first one lining up to give him a hug and be so happy that he had real repentance going on.”</p>
  987.  
  988.  
  989.  
  990. <p>Matarazzo played a clip from Hinn’s latest interview he did with Charisma’s Stephen Strang. In it, Hinn said: </p>
  991.  
  992.  
  993.  
  994. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  995. <p>I came to the conclusion in 2019 that I did not want to be a part of the gimmickry of it. But sadly, I let pressure get to me. And because of that pressure, I said things and did things I should not have done. And for that really I am sorry. And I ask the people watching us to really forgive me for that. And I’m striving with all my heart to be as biblical as possible with that.</p>
  996. </blockquote>
  997.  
  998.  
  999.  
  1000. <p>Matarazzo asked Winger if he believed <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/benny-hinns-public-apology-i-am-sorry/">Hinn was really asking for forgiveness</a>.</p>
  1001.  
  1002.  
  1003.

  1005.  
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008. <p>“What did [Hinn] repent of specifically right there,” Winger replied, “it’s almost like you have to fill in the blanks yourself.</p>
  1009.  
  1010.  
  1011.  
  1012. <p>“The only word he used there that was kind of specific was the word gimmickry,” he continued. “So that I gotta go, ‘Oh, gimmickry.’ So maybe whatever I think of as gimmickry in prosperity gospel, that’s what he repented of.</p>
  1013.  
  1014.  
  1015.  
  1016. <p>“But even this week on his YouTube channel,” Winger said, “he’s telling people that if they give money to his ministry, God will give them much more money in return.</p>
  1017.  
  1018.  
  1019.  
  1020. <p>“That’s gimmickry. That’s not biblical. That’s not how it works,” Winger stated. “We should not be giving to get. We should be giving to give.”</p>
  1021.  
  1022.  
  1023.  
  1024. <p>In another clip, Hinn said:</p>
  1025.  
  1026.  
  1027.  
  1028. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  1029. <p> I’m a human being. I’ve made mistakes. We all make mistakes. The two things that I regret most in ministry: I was not too wise with prophecy. There were times when I thought God had showed me something that he wasn’t … and I spoke it out. And sadly—and I wish I can go back and fix it—but sadly, there were some promises I gave that were not accurate or from the Lord. But who’s perfect? And for that, of course, I ask people to forgive me. I’m just human and made mistakes like that, and I’ll probably make them again, I suppose, down the road because I’m not perfect.</p>
  1030. </blockquote>
  1031.  
  1032.  
  1033.  
  1034. <p>“Does the Bible ever teach false prophecy as simply a mistake? No, it really doesn’t,” Winger responded. “It is not OK. If you falsely prophesy, that is definitely not OK. That is not allowable. Something’s very wrong. If you go, ‘God told me,’ and you say something God didn’t tell you, there’s something very concerning about that.”</p>
  1035.  
  1036.  
  1037.  
  1038. <p>Winger added that Hinn’s words seem to be a request for a “constant blanket of forgiveness” while he continues to “do things wrongly.”</p>
  1039.  
  1040.  
  1041.  
  1042. <p>Winger told Matarazzo that real repentance would [look] like this: “Guys, I have spoken in God’s name so many times, and I was wrong. I will never do that again. I will never speak in God’s name again. You can’t trust me. We’re gonna take down my videos. We’re gonna end this ministry.</p>
  1043.  
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046. <p>“That would be a sober and mature and a right way to respond, and I’d be very gracious and loving and happy to hear him say some things like that,” Winger added.</p>
  1047.  
  1048.  
  1049.  
  1050. <p>Hinn’s recent apology “is not real,” Winger claimed. “This is fake.”</p>
  1051.  
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054. <p>Winger proceeded to say that the questions Strang asked Hinn were “softball” questions. “Stephen Strang has been [Hinn’s] go-to guy for years for this stuff,” he said, alleging that Hinn only did the interview after he failed to have Winger’s video removed from YouTube.</p>
  1055.  
  1056.  
  1057.  
  1058. <p>Matarazzo praised Winger for pointing out the things he discovered about Hinn, saying, “It’s really important, you know. Whether somebody is for Benny Hinn or not, you know, these issues need to be addressed.”</p>
  1059.  
  1060.  
  1061.  
  1062. <p>Winger warned Christians that “if we prop up fake stuff in the name of God, it’s going to have harms that we can’t even conceive of…renounce all of the fake.</p>
  1063.  
  1064.  
  1065.  
  1066. <p>“If we will demand real Bible teaching and demand real, authentic pastors and leaders who have accountability, who have godly character, who aren’t money grabbers, and who don’t drive the nicest car in the church,” Winger encouraged, “if we demand those things, then we’re going to see a building of the body of Christ and a greater witness to the world.”</p>
  1067.  
  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070. <p>At the end of the interview, Winger prayed for Hinn, as well as those who have been hurt by him, asking God to “open [Hinn’s] eyes” to “real grace and forgiveness and restoration … that we would see true and genuine repentance” and “rejoice in the grace of God.”</p>

  1117. <p>The day of Pentecost is a critical day for Christians.</p>
  1118.  
  1119.  
  1120.  
  1121. <p class="has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9dc60988702831a5333297799efbc897">It is the day the Holy Spirit came and filled the 120 followers of Jesus and empowered Peter to preach to the masses.

  1122.  
  1123.  
  1124.  
  1125. <p>The day of Pentecost also did something we rarely think about. It reversed what happened at the Tower of Babel.</p>
  1126.  
  1127.  
  1128.  
  1129. <p class="has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-0-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-694ec845700c4564c9fd584d0c4e9607"><strong><a href="https://www.strangmail.com/newsletters/signup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today!

  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132.  
  1133. <p>One for Israel Ministry discussed with Dr. Erez Soref how Pentecost acts a reversal to the self-seeking acts from the people of Babel.</p>
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136.  
  1137. <p>“Everyone was coming together for man’s glory,” a ministry member said of Babel. “Now, all of a sudden, they’re spread out, separated, divided. And now, we’re being united by God under God’s ways instead of man’s glory.”</p>
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140.  
  1141. <p>In Genesis 11, as the people focused on uniting together to build their own tower to heaven, God decided to “confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech,” (Gen. 11:7). This confusion of language was reversed on the day of Pentecost when “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to speak,” (Acts 2:4). It is this reversal to speak to others in their native language that Soref focused on.</p>
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144.  
  1145. <p class="has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5b074f3d1fe65393be2f3a8c7a89dc4e"><strong><em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Charisma_News/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breaking News.</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@charismamagazine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spirit-Filled Stories.</a>&nbsp;Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!</em></strong></p>
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148.  
  1149. <p>“Those Galileans, the simple people that were speaking, they didn’t study it. Then they spoke perfect Cappadocian, Roman, whatever, it was perfect language,” Soref says. “It’s definitely a supernatural event that God is saying to all the people on the planet, ‘I am here. I want to bring you back.’”</p>
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152.  
  1153. <p>Soref also believes there is a powerful connection between Pentecost and the giving of the Mosaic Law in Exodus chapter 19. He draws the parallel of how the Israelites came out of Egypt in the middle of the first month. Fifty days after that would be the time when God told Moses to have the people prepare because He was coming down to meet them.</p>
  1154.  
  1155.  
  1156.  
  1157. <p class="has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a591fecca6ec6b2220b575e29432af2f">In the same way, Jesus told His followers after His resurrection to wait and prepare because something monumental was about to take place. It was after this waiting period when <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/why-dont-more-christians-celebrate-pentecost/" title="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">God’s glory showed up</a> in the form of the Holy Spirit with tongues of fire resting on the believers.</p>

Going on one of his archeological expeditions, Kramer took a careful look at a synagogue from the excavation project of Jewish archaeologist, Jacob Pinkerfield. In this ancient synagogue, Pinkerfield noticed a “Torah Arc” in the building. [&#8230;]]]></description>

  1200.  
  1201.  
  1202.  
  1203. <p>Going on one of his archeological expeditions, Kramer took a careful look at a synagogue from the excavation project of Jewish archaeologist, Jacob Pinkerfield. In this ancient synagogue, Pinkerfield noticed a “Torah Arc” in the building. These arcs are where Jewish Scriptures were kept in places of worship.</p>
  1204.  
  1205.  
  1206.  
  1207. <p>Kramer says the proximity of this synagogue to where the Temple Mount stood is a key to its purpose. When Pinkerfield excavated the building, he uncovered several layers of flooring, the base most likely built during the Roman empire. </p>
  1208.  
  1209.  
  1210.  
  1211. <p>What was further uncovered from this site was a piece of plaster covered in graffiti. The graffiti translated to, “Conquer, O Savior mercy,” and “O Jesus that I may live.” This was no ordinary synagogue, but a gathering place for Christians.</p>

  1216.  
  1217.  
  1218.  
  1219. <p>The building’s location isn&#8217;t just close to the place where the Temple Mount stood. It faces Northwest toward Golgotha and the empty tomb. </p>
  1220.  
  1221.  
  1222.  
  1223. <p class="has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b54dc89efd37235733c817fcce9c570a">Kramer says that while the original site of the upper room was destroyed, this synagogue is in the same location, pointing to the believers in Jesus returning to this spot specifically to build the synagogue and commemorate the destination of the Last Supper and the <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/why-dont-more-christians-celebrate-pentecost/" title="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Day of Pentecost</a>.</p>
  1224.  
  1225.  
  1226.  
  1227. <p>“The house with the upper room was destroyed in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70,” Kramer says. “Soon afterwards, Jewish followers of Jesus built a synagogue in the same spot. Later, an octagonal church was built next to the synagogue. Still later, a larger Byzantine church was built, replaced by a crusader church that incorporated the ancient synagogue inside the building.”</p>

  1232.  
  1233.  
  1234.  
  1235. <p>The building stands to commemorate the risen Savior and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Kramer believes the significance of this goes beyond a surface-level celebration, acting as a remembrance of what happened at the Last Supper.</p>
  1236.  
  1237.  
  1238.  
  1239. <p>“What a perfect orientation for a building that is built to commemorate the event where Jesus told His disciples [to] eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of what I’ve done for you,” Kramer says.</p>
  1240.  
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243. <p>It is in this same spot of remembrance where the indwelling of the Holy Spirit later happened.</p>
  1244.

  1300.  
  1301.  
  1302.  
  1303. <p class="has-link-color wp-elements-2d55767200eadb019e7578108fee654b">“I believe this is timely because we’re coming right up into <a href="https://mycharisma.com/propheticrevival/troy-blacks-2024-prophecy-theres-a-season-of-renewal-coming/" title="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 2024 elections</a> later this year and the Lord does not want to see this same thing happen again,” Black said as a preface to the prophetic message.</p>
  1304.  
  1305.  
  1306.  
  1307. <p>On Mar. 16, Black heard the Lord say, “I knew what I was doing when I allowed the nation to go one direction in 2020. It wasn’t good for the nation—what happened. But it was necessary. Why, my people, do you think I reward injustice?”</p>
  1308.  
  1309.  
  1310.  
  1311. <p>If that wasn’t enough of a warning, Black continued on with the following:</p>
  1312.  
  1313.  
  1314.  
  1315. <p>“Before you look out at the culture, look to the log in your own eye. Look to the freedom you are refusing to walk in by the Spirit…infighting and injustice. That is what’s happening and what has been happening. If you will learn to love with the love of Christ, not overlooking sin, but loving despite one’s differences of opinion when it comes to secondary issues, then my freedom can manifest across a body in desperate need of restoration.”</p>
  1316.  
  1317.  
  1318.  
  1319. <p>This word hits particularly strong because of Black’s sentiments that Christians especially have been striving to be correct about everything. However, like all humans, we do not know everything and we cannot control everything. Instead, God is looking for us to be obedient to Him even when we do not understand everything happening around us.</p>
  1320.  
  1321.  
  1322.  
  1323. <p class="has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-c37f2a37eecdc98723ffe9916f245943"><strong><a href="https://www.strangmail.com/newsletters/signup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today!

  1324.  
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327. <p>“Leave the arrogance at the door and come into my throne room and worship, and then go out in freedom, ready to set the captives free again,” Black prophesied.</p>
  1328.  
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331. <p class="has-link-color wp-elements-561e4a78fa59c1baa46f8be9e6c215ec">Black encourages believers that this word is not a judgment, but rather an appeal for the body of Christ to <a href="https://www.charismanews.com/culture/troy-black-s-prophetic-warning-push-back-the-darkness-as-you-celebrate-the-light/" title="">come together in unity</a> and with all humility. Disagreements among believers are actually acting as a wall for nonbelievers to come to know Christ.</p>
  1332.  
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335. <p>This is the time for Christians to humbly turn toward Jesus in repentance and unite to make sure that the main mission of our lives is completed: serving the Great Commission to see the Gospel spread to the ends of the earth.</p>

  1381. <p>An unofficial <a href="https://mycharisma.com/spiritled-living/purposeidentity/is-integrity-overrated/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">definition of integrity is </a>&#8220;doing what is right, even when no one is looking.&#8221;</p>
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384.  
  1385. <p>The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom about living a righteous life that is pleasing to the Lord, including the guidance in chapter 11 verse three which reads, &#8220;The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors will destroy them.&#8221;</p>
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388.  
  1389. <p>So when an email was made public from Texas megachurch Lifepointe Church&#8217;s Rockwell location encouraging congregants to game a traffic study that was being conducted, it did not sit well with many.</p>

  1426.  
  1427. <p>A recent Instagram reel from Oral Roberts University featuring its <a href="https://mycharisma.com/culture/super-bowl-champ-criticizes-biden-delusional-over-degenerate-cultural-values/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Commencement ceremony</a> has garnered over 8 million views in less than a week.</p>
  1428.  
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431. <p>The video, which showcases the graduating class united in singing &#8220;Goodness of God&#8221; by CeCe Winans, presents a striking contrast to the turmoil, protests and canceled graduations occurring at numerous colleges across the United States. This moment serves as a poignant reminder that unity is still present in some corners of America.</p>
  1432.  
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435. <p>&#8220;This video and the global response to it are testaments to the Spirit-empowered culture at our University,&#8221; said ORU President Dr. William M. Wilson. &#8220;Our graduates receive an education that is both academically excellent and spiritually enriching. The fact that our Commencement worship resonated with millions shows that faith is important to the world. People want to experience God&#8217;s love, and they are seeking peace in the midst of drama and trauma. To God be the glory!&#8221;</p>
