The United Methodist Church has removed Asbury Theological Seminary from its list of approved seminaries because it disagreed with the denomination’s decision to endorse homosexuality and same-sex marriage.
Asbury, based in Wilmore, Kentucky, is one of the most prominent institutions in the Wesleyan tradition. It remained committed to biblical theology, the authority of Scripture and the movement’s traditional understanding of Christian doctrine.
But the United Methodist Church has concluded that Asbury no longer fits within its vision for preparing future ministers.
For years, conservative churches and pastors left the UMC, convinced it had drifted from its biblical and theological foundations. They were often accused of abandoning Methodism. That raises an important question: who is really leaving Methodism?
John Wesley founded the Methodist movement on the authority of Scripture, the necessity of personal holiness, repentance, evangelism, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Those were not secondary convictions. They were the very reason Methodism existed.
Every organization has the right to determine its own standards. The question is not about whether the United Methodist Church has that authority. The question is about whether those standards still reflect the movement John Wesley started.
Some will argue that Wesley himself evolved, and that faithful tradition must do the same. That is true, but there is a profound difference between development and departure Wesley’s ministry developed his understanding and application of biblical truth, but it never abandoned the authority of Scripture that grounded the movement. His changes deepened his founding convictions rather than contradict them.
Development builds upon a foundation; departure replaces it. When an institution begins revising the very authority that gave it its identity, it is no longer developing a tradition. It is creating a new one. History teaches that institutions rarely abandon their founding principles all at once. Drift is almost always gradual.
The best example is from the Old Testament in the life of King Solomon. Solomon did not wake up one morning and reject the God who had given him wisdom. His decline came one compromise at a time. One accommodation led to another. Small departures accumulated until the king who dedicated the Temple tolerated practices that would once have been unthinkable.
That is how drift works. It rarely announces itself. It happens slowly enough that each step seems reasonable. Only years later do people look back and realize how far they have travelled. The same danger confronts every institution, whether it is a church, a university, a business, or even a nation. Churches deserve the same honest examination.
The irony is striking. A seminary known worldwide for teaching historic Wesleyan theology is now considered unsuitable for preparing Methodist ministers. That fact alone should prompt serious reflection. This pattern is not unique to Methodism. Throughout history, movements that began with remarkable clarity have often struggled to preserve the convictions that first gave them life.
Universities founded to train ministers gradually became secular institutions. Churches established to proclaim biblical truth slowly shifted their focus to cultural relevance. The transition rarely happens because people consciously reject their heritage. That is why every generation must distinguish between faithfully applying timeless truth to new circumstances and redefining truth itself. The first preserves a movement’s identity. The second quietly replaces it.
Every church eventually faces the same temptation. Will we allow Scripture to shape our beliefs, or will we reshape our beliefs to fit the spirit of the age? The answer determines more than a denominational policy. It determines whether we are preserving our inheritance or slowly drifting from it. Perhaps the real question is no longer why some Methodists left Methodism, but whether Methodism has left Wesley.
The Trinity Pride Fest event at Fort Worth Texas was attended this year by several local churches, including St. Stephen Presbyterian and Broadway Baptist Church. It stoked controversy in 2025 after drag performers reportedly accepted tips from children and displayed vulgar signage at the all-ages event.
The encounter occurred June 27 at Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth, where police were caught on video threatening to arrest members of a street preaching team led by evangelist Rich Penkoski. According to the video, police blocked Penkoski and David Grisham from accessing the sidewalk upon their arrival at the event.
Tragedy is Jesus told us that in the last days before His return to restore righteousness there would be a great falling away. It is happening in our day along with many of the other Biblical prophesied end times events.
The Labour Party is proposing to formally enshrine one of this country’s most divisive rituals into party policy.
Here’s the exact wording of what is being proposed:
“Labor recognises the importance of welcome to country and acknowledgement of country ceremonies, as opportunities to show respect to First Nations people.”
Polling over the past few years has consistently shown that the majority of Australians are sick to death of these divisive race-based ceremonies in which we are ritually reminded that we are visitors in our own country.
So naturally Labor’s response is: “Let’s have more.”
WHAT YOU CAN’T SAY ABOUT ISLAM
Because of these newly enacted hate-speech laws, we may comfortably predict that many Australians will now be unprepared to make critical comments or give warnings about radical Islam, no matter how well-based those comments or warnings might be. In a world where Islamic hatred of Jews and Christians is an ugly and obvious reality, and where threats are made by radical Muslims against Western democracies, and where some Muslim leaders in Australia, preaching from their pulpits, openly express sympathy with terrorists, the ability of Australians to defend themselves and their interests is seriously diminished by the prohibition of strong criticism of religion. The Bondi killing of Jews by Muslim extremists has made no impact on ALP policy.
The Albanese government has, inter alia, recently appointed an anti-Semitism envoy to draft a report on how to combat this undeniable social ill. The recommendations emanating from the envoy’s report propose the further erosion of free speech by adopting even more stringent hate-speech laws. This is concerning, because the criticism of religion, any religion, should be tolerated, and even celebrated, as an expression of the implied freedom of political communication, recognised by the Australian High Court.
Unfortunately, however, the ruling Labor Party and its Coalition doppelgangers appear completely oblivious to the fact that their new hate speech legislation, because of its generality, can easily be used as a convenient tool to effectively remove free speech on religious grounds from the public forum.
One aggravating problem leading to anti-Semitism (and other sources of societal problems), of course, is the policy of mass immigration depositing on our shores some who are prone to religious extremism and scripturally endorsed anti-Semitism. Accordingly, Australia should engage in serious research into all would-be visitors and immigrants and abandon the pro-forma review that prevails these days.
It entails that each person entering the country be checked to ensure no radical anti-Semite is allowed in, even for brief visits, to secure our common security. To deal with immigration in a responsible manner, it is worth remembering the words of the late Sir Harry Gibbs, formerly Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia:
While it would be grossly offensive to modern standards for a state to discriminate against any of its own citizens on the grounds of race, a state is entitled to prevent the immigration of persons whose culture is such that they are unlikely readily to integrate into society, or at least to ensure that persons of that kind do not enter the country in such numbers that they will be likely to form a distinct and alien section of society, with the resulting problems that we have seen in the United Kingdom.
Courtenay Hickey interviews her sister, Stephanie Rice (different fathers) 5 time gold medal swimmer. She was her first guest on her new Good To Know Podcast to share her testimony.
“God is doing such powerful things through you, and I cannot wait to see what He does in the future. We are praying and believing that this will set people free and they will come into a right relationship with God – He loves us so much.”
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16-17
Feeling rundown and at the end of the proverbial rope, Rice went to church. “I went to church with my sister who was a Christian and decided to open my heart to Jesus.”
“If I’m honest,” Rice reflected, “I had no idea if this was the ‘answer’ or if [it] would help, I just knew for sure that what I was doing wasn’t working and I was willing to try anything to feel hopeful again.” Sharing further, Rice said, “I’ve finally found that inner peace, stability, hope, encouragement, purpose and contentment that I was always looking for, just in all the wrong places.”
“I pray that more people would be open to Jesus.”
This is, she added, “because I just know He would heal your heart in ways you don’t even know are possible, and it would free you to dream and hope again, believing that anything is possible; because with Him, it really is.”
Now married to a Pastor and living in Dubai, Rice was earning a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Queensland when she declared a commitment to Christ.
Describing the MBA as a step of faith, Rice said in a LinkedIn post marking her graduation, “I learnt so much about myself on this two-year journey, and each course helped me discover and clarify where my natural, God-given skills, abilities and leadership lie.” “The most profound part of the journey,” she concluded, “has been how deeply healing it was.”
“Don’t let doubt be the loudest voice in your head,” Rice asserted. “Step out in faith and watch how kind the Lord is, meeting us exactly where we are and giving us everything we need.”
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
The story behind this verse (Matthew 5:14–16) is the ‘salt and light’ teaching from the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus says ‘you are the light of the world‘ (plural) — not will be, not should try to be, but already are by virtue of being His. A lamp is not lit and then hidden; the very purpose of its light is to illuminate what is around it. The hiding of light is a denial of its function. The critical detail is the purpose clause: ‘that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’
The goal of visible faithfulness is not personal reputation — it is God’s glorification. The people who see your life should be moved, not to admire you, but to worship God.
This means the character of your public faithfulness matters: it should be genuinely good, genuinely other-serving, and genuinely uninterested in credit.
Reflection:
What does ‘letting your light shine‘ look like in your specific community, workplace, neighborhood, or family? What specific good deeds has God positioned you to do where you are?
There is a tension between not doing good to be seen, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven”. Matthew 6:1and doing good so others can see. “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16.
What would someone who observed your daily life for a week conclude about your Father in heaven? Would they see something worth glorifying?
Action Steps:
Do one anonymous good deed today. Find a way to do something genuinely good in a way that cannot come back to you as credit. Practice good deeds that only God can see. When you do good and someone notices, give God the credit. The next time someone thanks you for something kind, generous, or helpful, let God into the conversation. I’m just trying to follow Jesus.

Pastor Mark Driscoll has laid it out, plain as day, in his bold message: Satan has a four-step blueprint to crush Christianity, dismantle the family, and rule through chaos.
Step One: Feminism – Breaking God’s Order
It began in the 60s and 70s, that so-called sexual revolution. Feminism didn’t just “empower” women — it declared war on biblical manhood, womanhood, marriage, life, family, and legacy. All masculinity labelled “toxic.” Pornography, birth control, abortion, and divorce flooded the culture like a plague. They tore at the very foundations God laid in Eden: “Male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).
This is the Marxist agenda in lipstick and heels — deconstructing God’s design to weaken the home, the first government. Strong fathers? Mocked. Traditional families? “Oppressive.” Millions of babies slaughtered in the womb. Divorce rates skyrocketed. Legacy? What legacy when kids are raised by the state and screens? This wasn’t progress; it was satanic rebellion against the Creator. And the hate for Christianity was baked in — because the Church stood for truth, for life, for ordered liberty under Christ.
Note: I’m talking about the godless feminist agenda, not equality for women in Christ.
Step Two: Rainbow Agenda and Transgenderism – Confusion and the Marginalisation of Strong Men
Now well underway, the next assault: the rainbow agenda and transgenderism. These demonic delusions promote perversion, addiction, and skyrocketing mental health crises, especially among the young. It minimises and marginalises strong, godly men in the home, church, and government. Boys are told they can be girls. Biological reality is “hate speech.” Surgeries mutilate God’s image-bearers. “God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). Jesus affirmed this: “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” (Matthew 19:4).
This chaos weakens protectors. Fathers, pastors, leaders – sidelined while confusion reigns. Free speech? Crushed under “inclusion” mandates. Christians lose jobs, churches face lawsuits, and kids are groomed in schools. It’s a Marxist tool to invert creation, erode the nuclear family further, and produce a weak, divided people ripe for control. But the gospel stands: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) – unity in truth, not erasure of design.
Step Three: Socialism — Stealing from the Strong to Prop Up the Weak
This is where we are right now, hurtling forward to destruction. Socialism steals wealth, power, and influence from the healthiest and strongest men — the providers, builders, and protectors — to waste it on the weakest and most incompetent. High taxes, redistribution, endless welfare that traps people in dependency. It is envy dressed as compassion, the same spirit that drove Cain to murder Abel.
The Marxist agenda hates the Protestant work ethic, private property (“Thou shalt not steal”), and the fruitful labour blessed by God. “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). Yet governments punish success and reward sloth. Strong Christian men who build churches, businesses, and families see their fruit confiscated to fund agendas that mock God. Freedoms evaporate — free speech first, then assembly, then conscience. Christianity is hated because it produces strong, independent people who bow to King Jesus, not the state. BLM fused feminism, transgenderism, and socialism into one public assault, exposing the roots.
Step Four: Islam’s Rise and the Neutered “Third Way” Compromised Church
Once the West is deconstructed – gender gone, families shattered, wealth seized – the vacuum fills. A brutal, pseudo-masculine, demonic Islam advances through immigration and high reproduction rates. While the “third way” church stays neutral, nuanced, avoiding offence, neutered and worldly, compromise reigns. Lukewarm pastors tickle ears, afraid of “divisive” truth.
Jesus warned: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm… I will spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16). No middle ground! “There is no middle with Islam. There is no way between Jesus and jihad… between Jesus and Marxism” (echoing Driscoll’s fire). Islam brings sharia, persecution of Christians, and conquest. The true Church must not yield.
The Gospel Triumphs! Christians Overcome
Satan’s plan is real, but so is our victory in Christ. “The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Ekklesia [My church]” (Matthew 16:18). The power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ — his death for sinners, resurrection conquering death — shatters every chain. Strong men of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, must rise. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Repent. Preach the Word in season and out. Train sons in righteousness. Defend life, marriage, truth.
Australia and the West can turn. Revival fires have burned before and will again. Spiritual truth exposes lies. The Marxist agenda collapses under the weight of reality and the prayers of the saints. Loss of freedoms? We fight for them boldly, but our hope is not in politics alone — it’s in Christ the King.
Stand firm, brothers and sisters. Put on the full armour of God (Ephesians 6:11–18). Overcome evil with good. The same Spirit that raised Jesus dwells in you. Masculinity redeemed, families restored, nations discipled — this is our mandate. No compromise. No neutrality. Jesus is Lord!
The greatest danger today is not the culture — it is a promoted, comfortable, lukewarm Church. A Church that avoids offence. A Church that softens truth. A Church that blends into the world.
Jesus warned the Laodicean church: “Because you are lukewarm… I will spit you out of My mouth” (Revelation 3:16).
Australia does not need a woke compromised Church. Australia needs a Spirit-filled, Bible-anchored, prayer-powered, truth-speaking, demon-defeating, gospel-proclaiming Church.
Fire up your prayer life. Teach your kids the Bible. Speak truth in love but speak it loud. Satan’s steps are visible, but our King has already won the war. “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
The Ekklesia [Church] in Australia must return to:
Fervent prayer
Bold gospel preparation
Holiness and godly reputation
Spiritual warfare
Unashamed proclamation of Jesus Christ
When the Church prays, heaven moves. When the Church stands, darkness trembles. When the Church speaks truth, captives are set free.
Faith and FIFA’s 2026 World Cup continue to pair up. So much so, the Financial Times (FT) has confidently declaredthat God is making a comeback. This is evidenced by the undeniable Christo-centric presence in what both the New York Times, The Guardian, and now the FT agree marks an unarguable culture shift. Also tuning in, the FT couldn’t deny that the presence of prayer on the playing field was more prominent, thoroughly unapologetic and mostly Christian.
World Cup and a Christian Cultural Shift
As FT’s veteran columnist and sports journalist, Simon Kuper, wrote, “Religion may have a particular appeal to footballers, but these scenes also reveal broader social shifts.” To make sense of the phenomenon, which is bewildering “God is dead” hard-line secularists, Kuper spoke with Dutch professor of theology, Mariecke van den Berg.
For van den Berg, the social shift is definitely accompanied by the “comeback of religion in the public sphere.” Pointing to the mass importing of Islam into Europe and the counter-cultural rise of evangelicalism in European nations, she determined that “this new religious landscape will look different.” Splitting Christianity down denominational lines, van den Berg explained that soccer was once the domain of Catholicism.
Brought to the game by Latin American players, “that meant the commonest religious gesture over the decades was players crossing themselves.”
Acknowledging the rise of evangelical Christianity since 2002, and Islam’s more pronounced presence since 2022, Kuper, citing van den Berg, said, “The most viable form of Christianity in Europe now is evangelical Christianity.”
Searching for Secular Explanations
Unfortunately, Kuper’s take in the Financial Times took a hostile, far-left turn. Unhinged, the FT journalist implied that Christianity’s influence and impact on the FIFA event were the result of manipulation. Quoting van den Berg, Kuper said the players “manage to connect with youth culture, through short sermons, directed at emotion. And it has a clear story.”
Although Kuper acknowledged that Christianity’s ethical clarity and certainty were a plausible reason for the revival, he put the social shift down to an error within Pentecostalism. “Pentecostal Christianity in Latin American countries,” the FT article asserted, “is often based on the prosperity gospel, which sees wealth as a sign that God blesses you.” Again, appearing to align with the Dutch theologian’s assessment, Kuper reasoned that “many footballers migrate young.” He then insinuated that the public declarations of faith in Christ were an emotional/psychological crutch and nothing more, stating, “Religious faith helps them deal with loneliness, pressure and setbacks like being benched, and it can assuage their guilt about becoming rich while people they grew up with remain poor.”
Expressing a distaste for the Christian cultural shift, Kuper then conflated the gospel groundswell with the so-called “far-right”.
Ghana World Cup Team praying after match with England
While speaking warmly of Islam, Kuper name-dropped Felix Nmecha as an example of why the religious revival was problematic. “Religion in football can spark political conflict.” For example, the FT piece asserted, “Many evangelical Christians hold right-wing views.” Arguing specifics, he noted how the public presence of Christianity might make those who identify as LGBTQ+ feel oppressed.
Calling the late Charlie Kirk a “far-right commentator”, Kuper then recalled how the 25-year-old player with a five-year, 40 million EURO contract was reprimanded for an online tribute to the assassinated TPUSA founder. While Kuper apparently disapproves of Christian soccer players elevating the gospel in between scoring goals, he seems to be more than happy with Muslims quoting the Quran and genuflecting to Mecca.
Kuper especially approves of this when the “‘Islamic expression’ angers Europe’s far right.” By far-right, he means critics of Islam, like Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
Gospel Growth Challenging a Secular Europe
Double standards, whip statements and selective reasoning aside, the FT article’s decidedly clear redemption was van den Berg’s conclusion. “The tournament’s religiosity,” she said, signals “that Europe isn’t as secular as it thought.”
Even though Kuper and the Left’s “God is dead” hegemony might be reluctant to admit there’s a power greater than theirs at work here, FIFA’s faith pair-up is undeniably real. As documented by Ballers in God, and Sports Spectrum, the behaviour, pattern and impact all point to the gospel, not away from it. Despite media misrepresentations,
Ballers reported that they had been flooded with “videos of people doing Felix Nmecha’s ‘crown down’ celebration.” “From stadiums to living rooms,” the ministry said, “people are making one thing clear: The crown belongs to Jesus.”
Elon Musk’s appearance at Davos 2026 raised some serious questions that many people completely missed.
In this video, we look at what Elon Musk said at the World Economic Forum about AI, robotics, consciousness, Mars, humanity’s future, and the coming age of abundance. But more importantly, we examine the deeper spiritual meaning behind this conversation.
Is this simply technology and progress? Or are we seeing the same Tower of Babel spirit rising again — mankind trying to build a future, reach the heavens, and save itself without God?
With Elon Musk, Larry Fink, the WEF, AI, robots, and global elites all discussing the future of civilization, Christians need discernment now more than ever. Along with the prophesied increased earthquakes (Venezuela, Los Angeles and Japan), godlessness, lawlessness are increasing as we approach the time of Jesus second coming. Watch what is happening, be aware of the people who are shaping the future, the appearance of the Antichrist is not too far distant.
I have reproduced almost the entire message on the video so you can either read it or watch the video. I had trouble hearing some of Charles message hence I have reproduced it here and made some amendments.
Sid Roth’s guest Charles Catinja grew up in Kenya, Africa and should have died when he had a life threatening seizure disorder. What was this seizure disorder you had? “I was born in early 80s and they said there was some sort of aneurysm in my my brain that would cause oxygen to be deprived and I would collapse from time to time. It went on for like 12 years of my life and they couldn’t figure it out because at the time in Africa there wasn’t access to good medical services so they couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on.”
Some said I wouldn’t live to the age of 20. others told me that if by adventure I make it to 25 I will be unable to process anything in school. So that was my story for the first 12 years of my life.
When you were in Kenya you had visions to move to America. Did other people have visions for you or did you have the vision. Tell me about it. It started when I was eleven. I grew up in a Presbyterian background. They don’t believe in the Holy Spirit as we do. They do not believe in visions. But somehow my hunger and thirst for the Lord, opened up the way to where God met me in ways I cannot understand. He showed me travelling the world and preaching the gospel in foreign lands even before I was actually filled with the Holy Spirit. So there was nobody in my circles who actually saw visions, or heard from the Lord.
So, you didn’t have a mentor? No. Helping you? Nope. I was opened up to the supernatural but I didn’t know people that could explain what was going on. In fact, my preacher at the time, the pastor would preach against the charismatic, like make fun of tongues and visions. And I go home and I ask my mother, “I’m seeing this every day. What does it mean?” She would say, “Go ask your dad.” And my dad was a statesman. I couldn’t ask him anything like that. So, I kept it to my spirit until the Lord opened the door for me to come to America.
But did the vision say move to America? Did the vision say move to North Carolina? Did the vision say move to Charlotte, North Carolina? The Lord told me that I’ll come to the US. I wasn’t aware if I’m coming to preach the gospel. So I came to school at Indiana University and at the time, my mind was to finish my masters in finance and go to Hollywood and make some money and live the life. So in 2008 while my wife and I were dating she was Catholic at the time. I started having visitations. It was August 13th 2008. the heavens opened and the voice said, “You are to move to North Carolina and I’m going to use you there.” So, I’m thinking to myself, my wife is Catholic. They don’t believe in this. I can’t go there. So, I didn’t say anything. Exactly a year later, the same day, same time, it says, “You are to move to North Carolina.” This is 2009. So, I begin to wonder, you know, if you disobey, maybe lightning will smite me. So on the third time in 2010, that’s when I spoke to my wife and she was like, “What took you so long?” So we moved. We moved to North Carolina and we’ve been here since 2011. And why Charlotte? North Carolina’s a big state. So because we didn’t know, we actually thought it was in North Korea. So I told her to Google it, see if there’s a North Carolina in America.” So we found it.
You didn’t even know there was a North Carolina. No, I was fresh from Africa. I just thought America is America. So I didn’t know there was a North Carolina. My mind thought I was going to North Korea. So I told my wife, just get a map, find a place. If there’s a North Carolina, put a finger somewhere and we will go there. And it so happened at the time there was a move of God happening in Morning Star Ministries in Fort Mill. So we said, “Let’s go there. Maybe God will speak to us when we get there.” The first day we walked to the door, a little kid, 5 years old, came and said, “The Lord says you’ll preach before millions of people and you’re here to have an encounter with God.” And that’s how we stayed in Charlotte, North Carolina.
When did you realize you were prophetic rather than just dreams and things like that, that it was God telling you that you didn’t have anyone teaching you that? When did it dawn on you? It began with God showing me what’s going to happen in the future. I was actually 12 years old. I remember succinctly. My dad used to drive a blue car. I remember and they’re over there fixing the car and you know doing things people do on the weekend. And I told my mother to tell dad not to drive out because if he does he will crash outside the house. My mother was like, stop that bad thinking.
How did you know that? You had a thought, a dream. No, I would hear a voice. I would hear a voice. So, because I was alone and because of my sickness, I never had friends or a best friend, I would be alone. I’ll be, you know, praying or talking to the Lord. And he was my only confidant, because when you faint and have these seizures, it’s a stigma to any community. So, you couldn’t have like a friend or someone your close to. So, I turned to the Lord and I would pray the Lord’s prayer. I would just talk to him and He said, tell him not to go. So, of course, my mother didn’t. So, they go out and on the corner he crashes the car. Then I start to investigate, you know, possibly maybe God does speak to me and from then I start ministering to people prophetically. I would counsel people that are 30 years older than me at the time. I was 12, 13 years of age.
You recently had a dream. Yes. About the rapture. Was that unusual? I don’t think I have ever preached a message on the rapture. I’m not a theologian. I am minister. I just follow what the Lord tells me. So, I don’t have any background on pre, post, mid-trip. That’s not my goal in life. It is to empower people now to be able to reveal the kingdom. So, lo and behold, last week on Wednesday, I have a dream and there is a rapture and I know it was a rapture because there was a lot of confusion. The children were gone, the young people were gone and it’s like the entire city. Now, in the dream, could you see yourself or you just saw what was happening? I could see myself and this is why it was Now, I look like I am now? Right here, right now. As as a matter of fact, I was in the building where I’m living right now in Uptown and I could see the confusion all over the world and I’m seeing people looking for their loved ones and it was it was like churches were full. People kept on praising, kept on worshiping God. They didn’t realize they missed the moment of their visitation. So when I woke up, I went to my office and I sat there and I was like this can’t be because the fact that I saw it means maybe I was left behind. So I went to sleep again and the exact same thing happens. And now I’m seeing and it’s about 10% of all the Christians made it to be raptured. I have never heard that as an estimate. That’s one in 10. What in 10? That’s 10 in a hundred. That’s a lot of people left behind. And this isn’t just regular people. These are Christians. That’s what you at least feel that they’re Christians. Churches were full. People kept on preaching. Life was going on. Well, that’s what’s going on right now. Churches are full. But if it’s only 10%. Wow. It says narrow is the way that leads to the Lord and wide is the is the road that leads to destruction. And it bothered me because, you know, of course, as a preacher of the gospel, I want people to go to heaven. I want people to to turn around from their sins and go to heaven. And at the same time I’m asking the Lord where have we missed it because we can’t blame them. It is us who carry the gospel that are able to bring the good news of the gospel. And in my heart I knew that most of us are seeking the Lord. We are encountering God for this life. Paul says it this way in 1 Corinthians 15. He says that if your faith is is for things temporary, you are to be pitied above all men. Wow. We are to add on a I want to say a piece of eternity you know whereby you’re looking not to things temporary because in this life there will be sickness there will be disease there will be distractions but our faith is not to make a comfortable life in this dimension but in spite of what we’re going through to be able to understand we have an investment in time in health in money that God is wanting us to use that to illuminate the world that there is another kingdom. Stewardship we have a stewardship of whatever it is that God has given us. Absolutely. And but the degree we follow God is us. Yes. And you remember in in Matthew it talks about the talents. Yes. There’s one, there’s three, there is five. And towards the end it says about the one who never used what God gave them, he was cast out into utter darkness. It wasn’t their lack of belief. It wasn’t their lack of confession. It was that whatever the lord invested in their life was not used for what was intended. The lord is a good steward. He has given each of us like a length of days. You know you realize some people lose their lives at 50 others at 60 others at 100. And time is an investment. The level of education you have is an investment. Your health is an investment. And all of these things ought to be there to draw you, that you can become an epitome of the glory of God to other people. Not faith geared to amassing things for this dimension. So many including me for a while. Yeah. Have understood faith because it’s in the word of God. Yes. Sowing and reaping etc. But we’ve many of us have understood this truth with a selfish agenda. That’s right. And you know in the kingdom I want to share this and I want to say it so emphatically because it is it is important. This is what changed my life. You know, I’ve been healed now of the seizure disease for 32 years. I’ve never been to a doctor. I have been healthy all these years. But what is most important? I’m thankful. I’m thankful that I I don’t have anything wrong with my body. However, even though bodies will experience healing, those bodies will be left here. The miracle for a house, the miracle for finances, those things are here. What you take with you is what you invest in someone else that changes their life for the glory of God.
What do you mean by invest in someone else? Matthew tells us, Jesus speaking says, “Use me to make friends for yourself in eternity.” When you use your money to spread the gospel, your money to change people’s lives, not necessarily what I believe God got for myself, but what God used me to be able to illuminate somebody else that they sought the kingdom. That’s the purpose of the blessing. Now look at for example Abraham was blessed in wealth, goats and all that stuff and camels. But what we have is an inheritance from our forefather of faith is not material but it is the gift of faith to believe in God of our forefathers. So what the Lord has given us in whatever capacity is that you may use your position that through you someone else can know that Jesus the Messiah is not dead but he is alive. That is your only true investment.
What is God showing you? What is the Holy Spirit doing new on earth? This is June. It was June, the beginning of June. We had a healing service in our church and I’ve been preaching and praying and fasting for many months waiting for the Lord to move. And at 3:30 in the morning, you know, whether someone believes me this or not, it’s okay. Jesus Christ came to my house. And all my life, Sid, I’ve taught faith as the fundamental primary way to get miracles from God. And a lot of times when a miracle doesn’t happen, you measure someone’s ability to receive by the amount of faith they have. And sometimes its like you don’t have enough faith, you haven’t received. And the Lord came and he says, I want to show you what will be the catalyst or the greater glory that is coming. And it begins in Exodus 34 when Moses said, “If I have grace in your sight that you may show me your glory, and he said, you want to see in the book of John, we see the woman with the issue of blood.” You know, she said, “If only I can touch the end of his garment, I shall be made whole.” That’s what the church has been where we use the faith, have to reach out to God and God will touch our lives. However, there are thousands if not millions of people who now are ailing in the body and they think they have failed. It’s not working and you wonder, can God do something for me? And he said to me, I want to show sovereign manifestation of God’s mercy. God’s mercy. And he says, you find that in Matthew 17, when the man took his son to the disciples, nothing happened. They prayed, the healing still didn’t come. And Jesus came and the man said, “Help my unbelief.” a manifestation of God’s mercy will be the catalyst of the greatest miracle working power of God we’ve ever seen because faith can be weak faith can be frail it can be up and down but when we put our trust in God and in a way surrender ourself to his sovereignty even those areas of our lives where we are unable to believe God for, he will show us his glory and you see he told Moses that you know my name is the Lord, the Lord is gracious and merciful. And out of that place, it is the first time we see Moses bowing his head and worshiping the Lord. God is revealing. And I just want to speak to someone. You’re listening to me right now. And there is no shortage of ministry in your life. You’ve been prayed over over and over again. And the miracle hasn’t manifested yet. And daily you do a self diagnosis if really it’s you’re the reason why God is not moving. He wants you to reach out and say, “Lord, help my unbelief because in his mercy, he will do what your faith is unable to accrue.” And I just want to pray right now, you’d be broken. You’d be loosed from that bondage of feeling you’re inadequate because in our weakness, the strength of God is made perfect in Jesus name. at this moment. Yes.
What is burning in your heart to tell our people? There are two things. There are two things. First of all, I remember a few years ago we we came here and we prophesied about the exposure of sin that were happening in the church that God was going to put his finger on. The devil has hijacked that ministry and begun to be in a sense the Holy Ghost police going around trying to bring out dirt in the name of ministering to God. There the Lord spoke to me. He says there is no ministry of discernment in the Bible where somebody takes responsibility to be able to master the sin of other people. I had the same thought that you’re saying right now just this morning when when I was praying. Absolutely. I totally believe that. And and the thing is like the world we are carriers of good news. God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. And what the enemy has done is trying to bring a ministry founded on works. And even if somebody found like mistakes in someone’s life, the grace of God is sufficient for those of us who live a repentant life. You know, it is never about works because works have a deadline. His grace daily it says it is fresh every morning. Lamentation will say his loving kindness is new every morning. If I’m judging you by something you did yesterday, how do I know you haven’t encountered his grace this morning and you’ve been renewed in faith? So it goes both ways. for those that are struggling in sin and those of us who are being persecuted for nothing. His mercy and his grace is new every morning. And I want to speak to you guys that are listening today and you are consuming this material on a daily daily basis. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by. Whatever you’re consuming will become your manifestation. If you think that God is about sin and condemnation, that’s what you’re feeding every day. Your faith will be wanting because we are to be reading the unadulterated word of God every day. The Bible says that our commandment really nobody has if you want to live a life of success, a life of uh power, a life of miracles. Joshua 1:8 that this word of the Lord you shall meditate on it day and night. You don’t have time on rabbit trails and things that are are second and third opinions in this hour when God is doing what he’s doing. He’s wanting you to be filled with his word, filled with the spirit that you can be able to be in season and out of season, ready to share the word of God with anyone in Jesus name.
I have to ask you some very key questions now. What do you see for Israel in 2026? It’s very important. This is what I saw about about three weeks ago. It’s about about three or four weeks ago. I wrote an article and and and the Lord spoke to me. He says, “America will betray Israel and Israel will stand alone.” And I’m asking the Lord, you know, but we at the time we’re seeing the support. We’re seeing American government going and helping Israel and all that. And then the Lord says that uh Psalms 121 has to be fulfilled where when they look up to the hills there is nowhere else that help will come from except from the Lord. And it has to be that way that the latter move of the Holy Ghost may come. Now the important part for you uh for us American to understand is that we don’t support Israel because they do things right. We don’t support them because they are they are doing what we expect them to do. We are under covenant with God that if we would desire to see a move of God that will come and bring millions of people to the kingdom of darkness, you have to give them light. You have to be found believing what the Lord says. And he says, “Blessed are they that pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” You know, so I I began to see that and he says he says even Trump, even President Trump will betray Israel. Not very long from today. Well, I have to stop you. As far as I’m concerned, he just recently did something that was way beneath the standards of the president. He had a peace settlement with Iran. And do you know how Netanyahu found our best friend in the Middle East found out about it? The newspaper. He didn’t even have the decency to call him. Now, I’m a big Trump fan. I want you to know that he’s done the most marvellous things in America. But there is an Achilles heel that’s being revealed. And that’s what you’re talking about. And I wasn’t aware of this actually. I don’t follow any news. This is from the prayer closet. The Lord says Trump and America will betray Israel. And I’m just pleading with the viewers and those of you that really honour the word of God. The Bible says, “Let the word of God be true and it remain a liar that we stand because the end result even though it’s a fulfilment of the end times, the enemy wants us to lose our reward of the greater glory because it doesn’t happen without Israel. The greater glory doesn’t happen if the Gentiles break off from the vine. we are they’re trying to bring all the immoralities and things that have happened to our forefront that we can know them in the flesh. Paul said this, know no man in the flesh. And it is important we remember that we live by faith. We support them because we see it is important for there to be the Jew and then Gentile for there to be the greater glory that will bring millions of people o the kingdom of God. So I implore you that are listening, don’t just judge things by hearing, but by the Lord. Judge righteously following what the Lord is saying that we can be able to amass what God is doing in this hour.
Despite the negative things going on in reference to America and Israel that we’ve just discussed, despite that, do you see God sending revival to America? Even with that, well, God does not, I always used to say the Lord doesn’t reveal things to us just because we need to know. There is always a remnant and the hope and the future of any generation always lies in a remnant. And I know there are people that are waking up right now, hearing this word and beginning to dig in and praying that the peace of Jerusalem will not be interrupted so that we can partake because it is important. We remember this. There is no greater glory without Israel. And it is you that is hearing and you’ve had dreams. I see a man that you have a church. You’ve been hearing dreams about your participation in praying for the peace of Jerusalem. God is giving you a commission. and you’re part of that remnant that God will use to pray for there to be a a a group of people, a remnant that will stand with God that we can be the conduit of the glory of God in America. Now, I’ll say this, and I said this before, you know, before now in 2029, there’s going to be a clear divide. Now, it’s already began to show between light and darkness, but there will be those that will be hot for the kingdom and those that will be cold. and it will be so stark unlike anything that we’ve ever seen before. And it is the heart generation that will be able to bring glory that they can begin to see that Jesus is not dead, but he is alive. So there is hope for America if those that have ears to hear will hear what God is saying to the churches. And what about Israel? Will Israel survive with so many countries hating them? I mean, like, you know, I was just talking to my wife the other day. If you look at history, you know, things even before 1948, if you look at the life of David, of Saul and the kings that supposedly followed their lives, they’ve always come to the brink of destruction. But because the word of God is as it is eternal, the Lord will always bring them back to life. The dead bones will come back to life. And I will say this, and it sounds like far-fetched, it sounds like flattery, but I saw it was about 3 months ago. We were fasting in our church and I saw people marching in Israel saying blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord and there was so many so many Christians born again, Jewish people in Israel that they were marching around calling Yeshua on the streets of Israel because when the world has turn away from them they will see him crucified and revelation will come to their lives. So it’s coming and it will be in our life between now and 2029. You know the question I asked you. Yes. Scripture is so clear. Psalm 105:8-11 talks about God has given to the Jewish people the land of Israel a covenant and they use three adjectives in that forever. I don’t think forever. I think we understand that. But just in case we don’t, he then says in that psalm everlasting forever and everlasting with Israel and then in case you don’t know forever and everlasting he then says for a thousand generations that a thousand generations this covenant is made to the Jewish people in Israel. So Israel will survive. It might be by the skin of their teeth, but Israel will survive. I’m not too sure about America. What about you? Are you sure about America from God? I am awful because the Lord called us here. Oh, I know that. But I don’t see anything like that for America in the Bible. That so, it’s up to us. Yes, it’s reliant on the remnant. And this is why God brings the words like he does. He says he never does anything without revealing his agenda to his servants, the prophets. And so that people can hear the word and repent and begin to to turn their way that he can heal the land. This is 1 Chronicles 7:14. So I believe and I’m making this appeal to everyone that is listening today. You know, ask the Lord what your portion is in regard to Israel because that’s the secret of healing in your own family. You know, whatever you do to the Jews, whatever you do to them, the least of these, you have done it unto me, it is an opportunity, a clarion call for everyone that is listening that hasn’t yet to hear that ask God, what is your part to play? Because for the longest, you know, ministry has been about, accruing the blessings of healing, prosperity, whatever else that God has has made available. But it is the full picture of Messiah is him and his brethren, you know, we being grafted in. When that revelation becomes worldwide, that’s when the fullness of the glory of God will come. And I believe that the Lord is a awakening people today to begin to participate in praying, not just talk, in praying and fasting that the Lord’s will, will be done that God can have mercy on us here in America as well.
I want you to look in the camera and pray for the viewers right now. Yes. But even before you do that, has God shown you anything about the next move of God’s spirit in America and the world? I mean, I was so fortunate and I’m thankful. I’m thankful for the visions. I’m thankful for the dreams. I’m thankful for what God speaks to my spirit because you know it is not because I’m any more anointed than anyone and you know the error, you know the the beginning point of this exposures and failures that we just went through it was so that God can turn the eyes of the people to himself. It was never about sin or transgression is that we can realize that God is jealous for his people. So you’re going to begin to see, especially coming in tne next year and the year after, you’re going to begin to see embers of the fire of the Holy Ghost burning in small places, small churches, small gatherings, living out the large churches, not because they’re doing anything wrong, but I saw little embers of the Holy Ghost beginning to burn in prayer meetings, in house meetings, in small congregations because the Lord wants to reveal himself as one who has fellowship with his people. And what I believe he is going to do is there’s a grace that is being released right now from from the Holy Ghost, a grace to pray and fast. Especially in America, it is not known widely for people to pray and fast. But I feel like God is saying that there is going to be those that will travail to birth this little embers of the Holy Ghost that will be fanned to come like the way it was with Duncan Campbell in the island of Louiswise. You know, a people from the down are birthing the move of the Holy Ghost. It is no longer from the stage to the congregation. It will be from the pews to the stage. And this is going to start taking place actually this coming year. You begin to see God moving in the congregations and touching people with salvation and all that in Jesus name.

In this powerful message, Dr. David Yonggi Cho delivers a critical end-of-month word for every Christian who wants to enter the next season fully prepared, spiritually aligned, and ready for what God is releasing. I did not know that Pastor Cho was still alive and ministering and was pleasantly surprised by the content of this video. Sadly, he is so right about much of the church today will face the wrath of God as shown by the church of Laodicea.
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.” Revelation 3:15-19
Note that God calls them to repent and I am sure many will and they can be a witness even during the period God pours out His wrath with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. The tribulation, even great tribulation is not the wrath of God. God allows the tribulation to purify His church.
This article by Walt Heyer, co-author of a new book “Embracing God’s design” will have a major impact on transgenderism.
A landmark malpractice verdict exposes the harms of so-called “gender-affirming care”, vindicating a young woman’s justice and accelerating accountability for doctors who medically harm vulnerable children.
The insanity of cutting off the breasts of teenage girls in the name of “transgenderism” has finally been vindicated.
A White Plains, NY, jury held a psychologist and a surgeon liable for medical malpractice for removing the healthy breasts of Fox Varian, then a 16-year-old girl, and awarded her $2 million in total damages — $1.6 million for pain and suffering and $400,000 for future medical expenses.
Congratulations to her and her attorney, Adam Deutsch, and thanks to the jury for getting it right.
Ms Varian’s justice arrived at 22 years of age, and she, like me (Walt Heyer), is no longer identifying as “transgender”.
This legal victory marks a pivotal moment for what Elon Musk predicts “will be thousands of court cases of children who were mutilated by evil doctors, modern-day Mengeles.” Psychologists and surgeons who affirm young people in counterfeit identities and facilitate medical interventions deserve to be held accountable.
This insane madness euphemistically called “gender-affirming care” — stopping natural puberty, administering cross-sex hormones, and removing the breasts of females or the genitalia of males — in my view and life experience, is medical malpractice. Surgeries like mine 40 years ago were wrong then and are wrong now.
In Finland, Dr Riittakerttu Kaltiala, chief adolescent psychiatrist at Finland’s Tampere University Hospital, studied the outcomes of “gender-affirming care” provided for minors there and said, based on the scientific evidence, “gender-affirming care” for minors is dangerous and provides no benefit.
Trauma at the Root
In Embracing God’s Design, co-authored with Jennifer Bauwens, PhD, we lay out the role trauma plays in the lives of people who adopt a transgender identity. Ms Varian’s catalogue of traumas is dramatic in its number:
“Her parents separated when Varian was seven, and a three-year custody battle left her estranged from her father. Varian suffered from depression, anxiety, social phobia, an eating disorder, and body-image issues. She was also diagnosed with autism and transferred schools frequently.”
The gender clinics’ therapists and surgeons do not want to acknowledge the underlying disorders and traumas that are responsible for the person’s disordered thoughts and behaviours.
My childhood experience is remarkably similar in many ways to Ms Varian’s — childhood traumas, rush to surgery, ineffective and harmful procedures.
It Happened to Me
My grandmother started cross-dressing me in secret and affirming how good I looked as a girl, starting at age 4. Two years later, when my father found out what his mother-in-law was doing to his boy, he thought using physical discipline to the point of welts and bruises would “man” me up. Another family member sexually abused me. All of this happened before I was 10.
At age 40ish, after decades of cross-dressing, I was convinced that I needed cross-sex hormones. I sought the advice of the premier gender specialist at the time, Dr Paul Walker, about my ever-present mental confusion. I told him about the abuse I suffered as a child, but his response was that it didn’t matter. After a couple of visits, Walker diagnosed me with “gender dysphoria” and advised me to take the next step in treatment, called “sex change” surgery.
I had the surgery and lived in a female identity for eight years. From that crazy experience, I learned some important truths. Gender/sex remains fixed and innate from the moment of conception. I didn’t “transition” from man to woman. Hormones and surgery are feckless in changing who God made a person to be. The offensive truth is that there is no such thing as a “transgender” person or even a “detransitioner.” When I wanted to reclaim my male identity, I didn’t need to “detransition” because I had never stopped being a man.
Starting with my first published articles in 2015, I have advocated for protecting children from the reckless diagnosis of “gender dysphoria,” a diagnosis that fast tracks access to hormone therapy and unnecessary surgery.
What we need now is a “fast track” for medical malpractice cases to slow down, even stop, the insane madness of surgical interventions on physically healthy children. My hope is to see an end to psychologists and surgeons subjecting children to experimentation, and that those who have been harmed receive similar judgments.
Consider getting the book Embracing God’s Design, a remarkable one-of-a-kind resource to educate church leaders and families on the topic of transgenderism, and availing yourself of the accompanying free teaching videos.
