Prophet Tells Jim Bakker of Heavenly Vision Where God Elected Trump to ‘Put Away Evil’ in America

(Screenshot: YouTube/The Jim Bakker Show)Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj (R) speaking with televangelist Jim Bakker (C) on the “The Jim Bakker Show” in a clip uploaded on July 23, 2018.

A former Hindu prophet turned Christian revealed a vision he says he had of God in an appearance on “The Jim Bakker Show,” where God told him he elected President Donald Trump in order for America to “put away evil” in the land.

Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, who founded Jesus Ministries, which describes itself as a “prophetic-evangelistic work which fulfills a call of God,” told televangelist Jim Bakker in a clip posted on YouTube on Monday that he received the vision during a prophetic conference in Gettysburg earlier in July.

“I saw the Lord as a gigantic figure standing on the east coast of the United States. He was so huge. A map of the U.S. looked like an ant before him. He had a shepherd’s rod in his hand, and he stretched it over the nation,” Selvaraj began.

He said that God told him that He will “judge the nation [for] political crimes.”

God elaborated, Selvaraj claims, saying that the judgment will come “because of decisions that were taken in the secret in the past to pass laws of unrighteousness and sin the land. For example like laws of abortion, and the same-sex marriage law.”

Chick-fil-A Goes International, Set to Open Restaurants in Toronto

(Photo: Reuters/Rashid Umar Abbasi)A franchise sign is seen above a Chick-fil-A freestanding restaurant after its grand opening in Midtown, New York, October 3, 2015.

Chick-fil-A, the fast food chain that has its roots firmly planted in the state of Georgia, is now planning to spread its wings and venture into international territory.

The company recently announced its plans to open its first international restaurants in Toronto, Ontario, Canada next year.

Specifically, the expansion plan calls for at least 15 new branches to be opened within the city of Toronto over the next five years, with the very first one expected to welcome customers within the first half of 2019. The company also says that each new branch will lead to the creation of 50 to 75 new jobs in their respective locations.

At the moment, the company is already recruiting operators who will handle their new branches in the Greater Toronto Area.

Tim Tassopoulos, president and Chief Operating Officer for Chick-fil-A Incorporated, authored a message directed to the citizens of Toronto regarding the chain’s impending move there.

According to Tassopoulos, the company has had its sights set on making a move into the Canadian city for a while now because they “believe Toronto is one of the best and most vibrant cities in North America.”

He added, “We are looking forward to putting down real roots and becoming a part of this dynamic and diverse city.”

Tassopoulos also revealed that their decision to open their first international location in Toronto is not one they reached on a whim, as they have spent plenty of time researching…

‘Fireproof’ Still Impacting Marriages 10 Years Later, Kirk Cameron Says

‘Fireproof’ Still Impacting Marriages 10 Years Later, Kirk Cameron Says



A decade after Fireproof became the top independent film of 2008, it continues to impact lives. Actor Kirk Cameron, who starred in the lead role, thinks he knows why.


“Nobody wants to fail when it comes to marriage and family … if things are right in their home, things are right in life,” he told PureFlix.com’s Pure Talk in a video interview. “… I think Fireproof speaks to that core value that God [has] put in us.”


Cameron said a stranger came up to him at church one recent Sunday and explained the impact Fireproof was having on him. A friend had urged the man to watch the film.


“I’m in the eye of the hurricane right now with my wife … I don’t know what to do but I just know that God’s trying to get my attention,” the man told Cameron.


Said Cameron, speaking broadly about the film, “You are called to be Christ to [your wife], to lay down your life for your bride and to love and lead your children to advance the Kingdom. And Fireproof speaks to those sensibilities.”



The film starred Cameron and Erin Bethea and was the third movie from Alex and Stephen Kendrick, the Georgia filmmakers.


Cameron was engaged at age 19 and married the next year. He’s been married for 27 years and has six children. He often speaks about marriage at seminars.


“The opportunity to speak from experience on this subject is big because I’m up…

Bidding Starts at $50K for Bible that Went to Moon

Bidding Starts at $50K for Bible that Went to Moon



(RNS) For the collector who has almost everything, there’s a chance this week to claim ownership of a Bible that literally was out of this world.


A Los Angeles auction firm is taking bids on a microform, or photographically reduced, King James Bible that went to the moon on the 1971 Apollo 14 space flight. Similar in appearance to a piece of microfilm, the microform is certified as containing the entire biblical text. Its print is so small that one needs a microscope to read it.


The tiny, space-traveling Bible was one of 11 that left Earth’s atmosphere in the care of landing module commander Edgar Mitchell, who died in 2016 on the eve of the 45th anniversary of that lunar landing. He carried them in a container for personal items. A print Bible would have been too heavy for a space mission, but the lightweight versions posed no obstacle.


Minimum bid for the rarity is $50,000, according to the Nate D. Sanders auction firm, which will close bidding at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday (July 26).

According to auction house spokesman Sam Heller, a similar lunar Bible flew along for the famously aborted Apollo 13 mission of 1970, in which mechanical malfunctions forced astronauts back to Earth under hardship…

‘We won’t stop until he’s fully released’

Mike Pence’s promise follows reports on Wednesday that the American pastor, detained for nearly two years on terror and espionage charges in Turkey, will be placed under house arrest as his trial continues.

Responding to the update, Pence tweeted that both him and Donald Trump “made clear last week and have worked tirelessly for months to free Pastor Andrew Brunson”.

He added: “He should have been freed long ago. He’s now under house arrest – but we won’t stop until he’s fully released and reunited with his family, friends and church. #FreeAndrewBrunson.”

 

Brunson, a 50 year old evangelical pastor from Black Mountain, North Carolina, was arrested in December 2016 and later charged with links to a failed plot to overthrow the Turkish government in July 2016.

Supporters claim he is effectively a political prisoner being held as a bargaining chip by Turkey who is actively seeking the extradition of preacher Fethullah Gülen, which it blames for the failed coup.

Brunson faces up to 15 years in prison for “committing crimes on behalf of terror groups”.

Police Chief Responds to Atheists’ Criticism of ‘God’s Not Dead’ Lip Sync Video

Police Chief Responds to Atheists’ Criticism of ‘God’s Not Dead’ Lip Sync Video



An amazing trend is taking over the internet. All across the country, police departments are performing and recording hilarious lip syncs. Then, they challenge other departments to do the same.


The Norfolk Police Department, the Sherman, Texas Police Department, and the Hollywood, Alabama Police Department have all participated, just to name a few. And their viral videos are so much fun to watch.


But when the Crandall, Texas Police Department decided to get involved, their faith-filled lip sync managed to draw heat from a group of atheists known for making trouble!


As this fun challenge swept the nation, the citizens of Crandall, Texas urged their local police department to participate.


“What an awesome way to create conversations and relationships with the community,” the department wrote on Facebook after posting their own lip sync video. “Have fun in life, keep safe and be humble.”


For their video, the Crandall Police Department decided to honor Jesus by singing along to the Christian song ‘God’s Not Dead’ by the Newsboys.


The citizens certainly seemed to love it, with loads of supportive comments rolling in. In fact, even the Newsboys themselves praised the officers for their amazing work.


But, of course, you can’t please everyone. And after giving the video a “thumbs down,” the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) issued…

Maxine Waters Declares at LA Megachurch She Was ‘Sent by God’ to Fight Against Donald Trump

(Screenshot: YouTube/Piggy Pig)Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters of California in a speech on July 22, 2018 at First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles.

Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters of California declared in a speech on Sunday at First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles that she feels “sent by God” to oppose President Donald Trump and all the harm she says his administration is doing.

“We never dreamed we’d have someone in the White House who was divisive, who could not tell the truth, and who was intent on not making America great again, but taking America down!” Waters told the congregation, referring to Trump.

“I will not sit quietly and allow the President of the United States, or anybody else, to undo all that’s been done,” she added.

“And ladies and gentlemen, I am in this fight!” she said.

Towards the end of her speech at the megachurch, the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus suggested her will is guided by God.

“You’ve gotta know that I’m here to do the work that I was sent to do, and as pastor said to me when I came in this morning, when God sends you to do something, you just do it!” Waters vowed.

Christian mother fights back after High Court upholds prayer vigil ban

Alina Dulgheriu has filed for permission in the Court of Appeal to appeal the High Court’s decision to uphold the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) outside a Marie Stopes Clinic, implemented by Ealing Council in April.

She said: “I have sought permission to appeal the High Court decision because I believe the law has been misapplied and has allowed for the unjust criminalisation of offers of support and silent prayer.”

 

Ealing Council enforced the buffer zone following what it described as protests that intimidated, distressed and harassed women using the abortion clinic.

Pro-life campaign group, Be Here for Me, has denied the accusations and said campaigners pray and offer support and information for the clinic’s patients.

The High Court decided to uphold the PSPO and dismiss the challenge on 2nd July.

Soon after, Dulgheriu launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise £50,000 to fund appealing the ruling. She has raised more than £26,000 so far.

 

The mother, who was supported outside an abortion clinic years ago when she considered aborting her daughter, said the ban on prayer vigils will have “devastating ramifications for hundreds of women and for society at large if it is allowed to stand”.

“I know how devastating the effect of this judgment will be because I received a loving offer of support when I needed it…
