When the Holy Spirit falls upon people: Ex-gay Hollywood designer explains how this helped lead him to Jesus

Published by

We read throughout the Bible of times that the Holy Spirit fell upon people and each time something unusual happened as there were outward manifestations: As we move into the New Testament, there is a shift because of Christ’s perfect redemption the Holy Spirit is now able to permanently reside inside us (1 Corinthians 6:19). But there were still instances of the Holy Spirit falling upon people, as took place on the Day of Pentecost. The same thing happened to a group of gentiles at the home of Cornelius as Peter was preaching. The Holy Spirit also fell on them, and they began speaking in tongues: 15 As I [Peter] began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. (Acts 11:15 ESV). When the Holy Spirit falls upon people, something invariably happens, and a similar event laid the groundwork for Becket Cook, a Hollywood designer, to become a Christian, Faithwire reports. Becket was an influential designer in Hollywood, and had worked for major stars such as Oprah, Paris Hilton …

YouTube’s shocking announcement, people can now say facemasks don’t work

Published by

In a shocking announcement, it seems that YouTube will no longer ban any videos that state facemasks are all but useless when it comes to stopping the spread of COVID: Of course, research has been showing how ineffective facemasks were since 2020, but YouTube would not allow anyone to disagree with the government’s propaganda. YouTube banned Rand Paul in 2021 for citing two peer-viewed studies that showed facemasks were useless. Meanwhile, study after study was saying facemasks are ineffective: READ FROM 2020: Two top Oxford academics accuse Facebook of censorship for branding their article on whether masks work ‘false information’ READ: The astonishing data that may prove masks DON’T work as Covid cases in Singapore and New Zealand OVERTAKE Australia despite SUPER strict mandates: ‘They don’t matter’ READ: So, what was the point?

The EU to introduce a digital ID system in 2023, and critics warn it’s a ‘Trojan horse’ for tyranny

Published by

Criticism is mounting over plans by the European Union to implement a digital identity program by the fall of 2023, CBN reports. According to the EU’s ‘official’ propaganda, the phone app will function as a digital wallet which allows people “to store and exchange documents and legal information, while fully controlling which data we want to share with whom.” Of course, as many point out, there are apps that already do this, so why would the government want to duplicate this service? And the critics are concerned that the government will use the app for nefarious purposes to track and control its citizens. Cristian Terhes, who was elected to the European Parliament, grew up under communism in Romania, and he has been a very vocal critic of the plan: “Clearly we are witnessing right now, the ‘Chinafication’ of Europe,” said Terhes, “because we see what is happening in China right now with the social credit score, where the government is monitoring. … All the people from the beginning to end, everything that they do, everywhere …

Will the ‘green’ delusion ever end?

Published by

It is difficult to grasp how reckless politicians and bureaucrats become when they have been deluded by the global warming environmental cult. READ: The cult of global warming With Germany facing a major energy crisis this winter due largely to its move to green energy compounded by the Russia Ukraine war, the country is still moving ahead to close down the last of its nuclear power plants. The Daily Wire provides more details: Germany will likely proceed with shutting down its three remaining nuclear power plants despite an uncertain supply of gas ahead of the winter season, economy minister Robert Habeck said on Sunday. […] Habeck dismissed concerns of gas shortages by assuring the public that “we have a really good chance of getting through the winter” if households and businesses cut energy usage by 15% to 20%. Nevertheless, Habeck is open to keeping one plant open in the manufacturing region of Bavaria depending on the results of a stress test on the German power system. He asserted that Germany must pivot entirely away from …

It’s unbelievable, except it happened in California

The principal of Theuerkauf Elementary School in Mountain View, California, called police to remove a 4-year-old boy because he refused to wear a mask. It was his first day of school and the boy, who may also have learning difficulties, was already inconsolable when teachers asked him to put on a mask, the Daily Mail reports. When his dad showed up, the principal ordered him to leave the school grounds under threat he would be removed if he didn’t leave. The police then escorted the boy off the school premises. Theuerkauf Elementary School is one of only a handful of schools mandating masks in California. It changed its policy the next day.

How God impacted Jim Wahlberg, the brother of actors Jim and Donnie Wahlberg

Published by

While Mark Wahlberg and his brother Donnie gained fame during the mid-80s as part of the popular boy band, New Kids on the Block, their brother Jim was going down a different road, Caleb Woods writes in his article for CBN. Having grown up in poverty, Jim began to steal when his family moved into a middle-class neighborhood, and he realized how poor they actually were. The first time police arrested Jim, he was only 10 years old and as he moved into his teen years, drugs, alcohol, and crime followed. At the age of 17, Jim was arrested for armed robbery and spent the next five years in jail. After his release, he began binging on alcohol and drugs and then remembered waking up in a jail cell, covered in blood, and after breaking into the home of a police officer. He was charged with home invasion, which can potentially come with a life sentence. But after the officer of the home Jim broke into pleaded for leniency, the court sentenced Jim to six …

Majority believe that elements of the FBI work as ‘Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo’: Poll

Published by

The majority of Americans are starting to think that there is a politicized rogue element within the FBI that is working on behalf of President Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. A recent poll by Rasmussen Reports states that 53% of people, who are likely to vote in this fall’s American election, believe elements of the FBI work as “Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo,” the Washington Examiner reports. Rasmussen conducted the poll after the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence in Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday, Aug 8, 2022. The majority of respondents agreed with this statement that “there is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI that are using the FBI as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.” Though 44% of those surveyed stated they had less trust in the FBI, a slim majority still held a favorable opinion of the agency. When Rasmussen asked a similar question in December 2021, only 46% agreed that elements of the FBI worked as President Joe Biden’s personal thugs. READ: Majority …

Will jobs pay the price for the lockdowns?

Published by

It seems that the economy will soon be paying the price of the lockdowns, as two reports suggest businesses are struggling. The lockdowns not only resulted in governments shutting down non-essential businesses, but governments also shifted people’s spending habits online, jeopardizing local jobs. According to a survey of over 700 US executives and members of corporate boards conducted by PwC in July, nearly 50% stated that they were thinking of cutting staffing and 52% said that they had already implemented a hiring freeze, Breitbart reports. Breitbart noted that several major corporations have already started laying off employees: Home goods company Wayfair decided to cut approximately 870 workers to help manage operation costs and “realign its investment priorities” following the coronavirus pandemic, the Associated Press (AP) reported this week. In addition, Best Buy was also cutting jobs as the company grappled with shifting consumer behavior, the AP reported on August 12. Another report states that 97% of corporate executives believe America is heading for a recession. READ: 97% of corporate execs think US is in recession, …

Can church make us rich? The prosperity in the Gospel

Published by

We don’t hear the words “Prosperity Gospel” much anymore, but the idea is still with us. You might have heard the story of the pastor in Kansas City, who recently berated his congregation because they didn’t buy him an expensive watch. He asked in November, and he still didn’t have the watch by the following summer. One of his statements was like, “So I’m not worth your McDonald’s money?” He specifically asked for a Movado watch. I don’t operate at that economic level, and I had to read more to get the picture. A Movado is a very expensive watch. As a minister of the Gospel, the pastor believed he was entitled to some bling. Prosperity is a good thing, for God’s people. These days, there is always a person with a camera that can record videos. That’s not even a luxury anymore. The pastor’s lecture was recorded, and it went viral on the internet. He also apologized, a few days later. This is a lesson for us all; we can’t get away with anything: …

Candy-like fentanyl aimed at kids showing up in the US

Published by

Authorities are warning that candy-like fentanyl has shown up in different states across the US, intended specifically for children. The Blaze reports: The DEA’s Field Intelligence Manager Jennifer Lofland told the news channel that her biggest concern “is that the pills seem to be marketed specifically to a younger age group.” Lofland urged parents to talk to their children about the dangers of consuming pills that have not been prescribed. Lofland reported that the DEA tested the confiscated pills and found that many had been laced with methamphetamines and animal tranquilizers. “Some of the multi-colored pills that we’ve been testing in our labs recently, particularly a recent batch that appeared to be children’s chewable vitamins, were tested by our lab as containing both fentanyl and methamphetamine.” On Wednesday, 15,000 fentanyl pills were seized by Customs and Border Protection agents in Arizona. Nogales Port of Entry authorities said they discovered the pills strapped to someone’s leg, WTTG-TV reported.
