Donald J. Trump’s Inauguration: A Political and Spiritual Turning Point
Today, as Donald J. Trump is inaugurated in Washington, D.C., a renewed sense of excitement fills the nation. This moment marks a stunning political comeback against unprecedented opposition. Trump endured years of relentless attacks, including accusations of election interference, the Russian collusion hoax, a hostile media, FBI raids, legal battles aimed at his financial ruin and even an assassination attempt.
God’s Hand on President Trump: 3 Signs and Symbols
The failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 ignited a firestorm of conversation on prophetic signs and symbols over Trump’s political rise. As I discussed in my book “God and Donald Trump,” many across the prophetic community such as Kim Clement, Chuck Pierce and Lance Wallnau foresaw Trump’s rise along with the divine protection extended over him from before the 2016 election season.
Your Season of Life-Shifting Moments and Words
There are many ways God leads us by His Holy Spirit, and one is through the gift of prophecy, in which the Spirit shows us something that will happen or gives us direction or a warning. Prophecy is among the most-misunderstood spiritual gifts but one of the most worthwhile. In the Old Testament the prophet represented God to the people and spoke on His behalf.. And they’d better not get it wrong because the penalty was death. False prophecy was and still is judged harshly by the Lord.
What Will Trump’s Margin of Victory Be?
When Pastor Paula White-Cain walked to the podium in Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, on June 18, 2019, the stands were filling up, and the crowd was teeming with excitement, though it would be another two hours before President Trump would announce he was running for reelection. She quoted President Trump as saying, “We worship God, not government,” as a segue into her prayer.
Here Is Why Trump Will Get the Votes
When Pastor Paula White-Cain walked to the podium in Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, on June 18, 2019, the stands were filling, and the crowd was teeming with excitement, though it would be another two hours before President Trump would announce his reelection bid.

ELECTION: Why Most Charismatics Will Vote for Donald Trump

She quoted President Trump as saying, “We worship God, not government,” as a segue into her prayer.
How Is God Moving in this Election Season’s Chaos?
When President Joe Biden responded to the growing chorus of requests to drop out of the presidential race, he said he would not unless he heard from the “Lord almighty.” It was an unprecedented reference from a leading Democratic politician. Biden’s quip made it sound—as far-fetched as it seems—as if he takes his direction from the Lord. The media and many Democrats are saying Biden should drop out after his disastrous debate with Donald Trump on June 27.
This Is How We Begin to Change the Scandal Cycle
In a world that seems to get worse daily, we need the power of the Holy Spirit more than ever to live lives pleasing to God. While the Pentecostal/charismatic movement is far from perfect, there are still standards for righteousness that seems non-existent in liberal or woke segments of the church. Yet, scandals continue to come forward even among conservative charismatic leaders.
How Do We Engage the Culture If We’re Speeding to the End of Time?
For decades, Pentecostals have been too passive when it comes to what is happening in the culture. During World War I, they were actually pacifists. That has gradually changed, and the culture long ago rejected the “holiness” legalism that characterized the movement. Now, on many issues like how we dress or what entertainment we consume, you can’t tell much difference between Pentecostals and the broader culture.
STRANG REPORT: Claim Pentecost’s Gift
Editor’s Note: Although Pentecost 2024 has passed, the need for the Holy Spirit’s power has not. Enjoy this post from Charisma CEO and bestselling author Stephen Strang. Pentecost Sunday falls on May 19 this year. It’s a time for action and also reflection on the way Pentecost is uniquely central to Spirit-led living. In the late 1800s a Holiness movement began, emphasizing purity, zeal and devotion to Christ. People began praying for a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Your Blessed Assurance in the Worst of Times
Recently, an Indian astrologer, Kushal Kumar, predicted that World War III would begin on June 18, based on that date having the “strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3,” he claimed. Meanwhile, a Russian nuclear-capable submarine just sailed past Florida to Cuba. If that were not enough, Iran has increased uranium enrichment, and North Korea issued a nuclear warning. Again.
Why Stand Behind an Imperfect Leader like Trump?
Danny Alayon, a former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., shares a story about how Jewish tradition holds that only flawed individuals make great leaders. According to rabbis, it is essential that leaders have flaws. “If someone is self-righteous and convinced of their own goodness, they won’t feel the need to redeem their past with good deeds. But if they have experienced real failure or setbacks, they are more likely to approach leadership redemptively,” Alayon explains.
The Media Has Always Been ‘Shocked’ By Donald Trump
In the world of the elite media, liberal pundits and talking heads are the gatekeepers. They control access to the public, and they determine winners and losers based on the kind of coverage they decide to give them. Every politician is concerned about a slip of the tongue in a debate or a misstep on the campaign trail. The slightest bobble could be just enough to do the candidate in. And in the world of political correctness a poor choice of words can be fatal.
How to Pray About Biden's Transgender Day of Visibility
Even though Joe Biden claims to be a "good Catholic," his policies are anything but Christian. He supports the most extreme policies on abortion up to birth, and he lights up the White House with rainbow colors to honor the LGBTQ community. But when he declared Transgender Awareness Day on Mar. 31, Easter Sunday, that was beyond the pale. Even Pope Francis chimed in by reiterating that the Roman Catholic Church considers it a sin to alter one's sex and negates how God created them.
Solar Eclipse Finds its Center in the Empty Cross
The total solar eclipse crossing the country on Monday, April 8 is passing over Kerrville, TX, the home of an incredible prayer garden that shares the Gospel through artwork and a 77-foot 7-inch cross visible from nearby Interstate 10. The sculpture, aptly named the "Empty Cross," outlines a cross.
Danita's Children Spreads Hope In War-Torn Haiti
8:00AM EDT 4/2/2024 Stephen Strang In my long career as a Christian journalist I have covered many tragedies, from the tsunami of 2003 in Southeast Asia to the tragedies of 9/11 to countless floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. Yet most pale in contrast to what we are seeing in Haiti. We know that Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Long burdened by witchcraft and voodoo, it's one crisis after another.
Spirit-Led Living in an Upside-Down World

After reading this book, you will have the confidence to walk in the victory Christ died for and begin living exceedingly and abundantly beyond anything you ever could have hoped for or imagined. There is a power so great it can help you not only survive but thrive in this crazy world, a power that can give you joy and peace, result in miracles, and make you victorious no matter what.
If My PeopIe WiII Pray
Thirty-two years ago, America was at crossroads. The nation was in moral decline with recently legalized abortion and a drug culture left over from the hippie era, while Americans were still reeling from the aftermath of Watergate and the Vietnam War. Not only that, but communism was a real threat worldwide, terrorists held American hostages in Tehran, the U.S. economy was in the tank and a weak president’s policies seemed to make matters worse.
Learning to Hear God’s Voice
Millions have experienced the power of the Holy Spirit since the Day of Pentecost, when tongues of fire rested on those in the Upper Room and the disciples began to speak in a heavenly prayer language that made onlookers think they were drunk in the morning. In his sermon in Acts 2, Peter said they were witnessing what Joel prophesied: the Spirit of God was being poured out on all flesh, and the sons and daughters of Israel were prophesying.
IHOPKC Pastor: What Christians Often Misunderstand About Thanksgiving and Gratitude
7:00AM EST 11/28/2023 Stephen Strang When it's Thanksgiving, it's important to focus on what it actually stands for. Oftentimes we're in such a rush during the holidays that we begin to focus on the stress and forget to have an attitude of gratitude. I hope that hasn't been the case for you this week as you prepare for Thanksgiving. But if it has been, Pastor Isaac Bennett says the remedy is simpler than you may think.
Stephen Strang: Let Investigation Find the Truth on Mike Bickle
Some leaders at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City have called for an independent, third-party investigation into charges of "clergy sexual abuse" brought last week against Mike Bickle who founded the ministry. I wholeheartedly agree with the need for an independent investigation because the truth must come out, and often it's hard to find the truth when those investigating have a vested interest in the outcome.
Why Every Christian Must Wage Spiritual Warfare This Halloween
As Halloween approaches, Spirit-filled believers need to speak up about the real spiritual warfare around us—not ghosts and goblins, but the spiritual principalities and powers the Bible describes. One of the best public examples of dealing with spiritual warfare was last summer when Pastor Paula White Cain gave a powerful prayer to open a rally for Trump's re-election campaign. Her words were filled with anointing as she declared truth and biblical promises over our president.
Jonathan Cahn Reveals the End-Times Mystery of Israel and Hamas
When it comes to unlocking ancient mysteries in our day, there is no one better than Jonathan Cahn. Not only is he an eight-time “New York Times” bestselling author, but he also is greatly in tune with what the Holy Spirit is revealing to him about the events happening in our current time. One of Jonathan’s recent videos that highlighted the Israel-Hamas conflict profoundly showcased the reality of what is happening at a spiritual level.
Chuck Pierce Asks: Have We Inched Closer to the Day of Jesus’ Return?
Chuck Pierce, whose prophetic insight I respect, has an interesting take on what’s happening in Israel. He says God is separating the “chaff from the wheat” and identifying Israel’s enemies so He can deal with them. It’s all a part of God’s plan for the end of time. If you follow Pierce’s ministry you know the accuracy of the words he gets.
Could the October 14th Eclipse Point to the Return of Christ?
One of the best-known Christian sculptors in America, Max Greiner, is not only a longtime friend, but has tremendous insight into the coming annular eclipse this Saturday. What’s unusual about this eclipse is that its pathway will actually make a cross with another upcoming eclipse right over The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas. “The scientists at NASA are calling them the two great American eclipses,” Greiner says.
Mike Bickle on the Power of Prayer and Prophecy in Israel's Time of Need
5:00PM EDT 10/12/2023 Stephen Strang In a world gripped by uncertainty and turmoil, the recent events in Israel have captured the attention of the globe. This strife has led to a surge in prayer and support for the nation, with many believing that they are witnessing a significant moment in history. In my latest and most urgent Strang Report IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle shared why this is a critical time to support Israel along with a prophetic word for the season ahead.

How the Holy Spirit Is Leading People on the Road to the Miraculous
5:00PM EDT 10/5/2023 Stephen Strang One of the biggest ways God moves is through miracles, signs and wonders. It's through these signs that we see the hand of God moving to do things that we never could have expected to happen without Him. It's through this miraculous power that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and by which the Holy Spirit was poured out on God's people in the Day of Pentecost.

Jonathan Cahn Provides the Blueprint for the End Times in The Josiah Manifesto
Jonathan Cahn’s new book The Josiah Manifesto, like all his books, contains a mystery but also a key, a blueprint and an answer to what Christians must do to stand and prevail in the current environment in the days ahead. First, a disclaimer: I’m Cahn’s publisher (and loyal reader) so I’m not entirely objective. I was among the first to read The Harbinger back in 2011 and I’ve read each new book’s manuscript when it came in. To me, each is better than the one before.

Unmasking False Prophets with Mario Murillo
One of the gifts of the Spirit is the gift of prophecy. The new testament is full of stories about prophecy. Paul foretold his own arrest, and he teaches the early church that they must test prophecy. With the modern Pentecostal/charismatic renewal came the resurgence of the gifts, and in the past few decades a prophetic movement has developed. Men like Bishop Bill Hammond and the late Peter Wagner were well known for teaching on the prophetic and the importance in the life of the church.
Jeremiah Johnson: Navigating Life When Prophecy Doesn't Come to Pass
5:25PM EDT 8/31/2023 Stephen Strang In the world of prophetic ministry, accuracy and responsibility play a crucial role in guiding believers' faith and expectations. In one of my latest editions of my Strang Report podcast, I spoke with Jeremiah Johnson, a prophetic voice who faced significant challenges and transformation over the past couple of years. From failed predictions to personal struggles, Johnson's story is a testament to the complexities and lessons of the prophetic realm.

Deliverance by the Holy Spirit is the Only Way to a Life of Freedom
10:10AM EDT 8/24/2023 Stephen Strang In a world fraught with challenges and uncertainties, the need for spiritual strength and protection is paramount. Deliverance is a concept rooted in the Scriptures, and it's one of the reasons Alexander Pagani's book, The Secrets to Deliverance, has meant so much to many people since I first published it in 2018. One of the first things to know about deliverance is that at it's base is the struggle between good and evil, light and darkness.

How David Lane's Strategy in North Carolina Can be Used to Mobilize Pastors in Other States
In a time when society seems to be drifting away from its Judeo-Christian roots, one man has been on a mission to ignite a change. David Lane, a passionate motivator and political strategist, has been successful in rallying pastors and believers to actively engage in the political arena. He's a prominent figure known for inspiring Christians, especially pastors, to step out of their comfort zones and actively participate in the political realm.

Why Some Jews Are Believing Jesus Is the Jewish Messiah
Years ago I met Peter Drucker, the marketing guru who said that an unexpected surprise is often the first indication of a trend. I’ve never forgotten that and I look for “unexpected” surprises as a foreshadowing of things to come. Recently, Sid Roth’s ministry, Messianic Vision, created three one-minute commercials that have aired on secular cable channels giving “irrefutable proof” that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
Why Some Jews Are Believing Jesus Is the Jewish Messiah
"I'm in a state of shock of how much good God has accomplished," Roth told me.
Why those who Proclaim a 'Woke Jesus' are Killing True Christianity
Wokeism is part of a dangerous, Marxist point of view that has been permeating cultures for decades. We see it in nearly every institution in our country. Now we see it in the church and we must confront it. In his latest book, "Woke Jesus," Lucas Miles powerfully shares how Marxism, and the values of critical race theory in particular, are now permeating the church and being being spewed from the pulpit. He's a pastor from Indiana who wrote "The Christian Left" a few years ago.
Pastor John Amanchukwu Exposes Public School Dangers, the Problems with Critical Race Theory
10:00AM EDT 8/3/2023 Stephen Strang Pastor John Amanchukwu is a bold and brilliant man of God who is speaking up in the culture wars and getting millions of hits on his videos. A pastor in the Church of God in Christ, he is confronting our upside-down world. As a child he saw what it looks like to live meagerly, and what the power of hard work can do.
What Happened When Greg Locke Apologized to Benny Hinn?
4:00PM EDT 7/27/2023 Stephen Strang What happens when someone is changed by the power of the Holy Spirit? It's an amazing transformation. Old ways of thinking change and there's a desire to make things right. I saw this up close recently in the life of Pastor Greg Locke of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, who has exploded on the scene recently with his deliverance ministry when I brokered a meeting with Benny Hinn.
Psychiatrist Unveils 'Demonic Foes,' How to Know if it's Mental Health or Spiritual Oppression
Dr. Richard Gallagher is a respected psychiatrist from New York, who has spent the last 25 years observing and working with Christian exorcists and clients who either have been under demonic influence or believed there was a possibility that they could be. As a Pentecostal/charismatic Christian, I believe the Bible teaches there are principalities and powers.

Target, Bud Light and the End Times
Today, we live in a post-Christian culture. Today, evil is called good, and good is called evil. That's the essence of a culture that's upside down. While many of us believe God raised up America, let's face it, the nation is becoming more and more evil and deserves to be judged. Just look at what has been happening with major retailers like Target, Kohls and Bud Light. They have not only shoved down the LGBTQ agenda onto adults, but they have pushed these monstrous views onto children and infants.
Deliverance: Demonic influence can affect Christian leaders, too
By Stephen E. Strang, Op-Ed Contributor | Friday, June 23, 2023 I believe many overwhelming life problems are the result of what the Bible calls demonic influence in one's life. That's because the spiritual world we often don't understand is more real than the physical realm we live in.
More False Prophets Exposed! Mario Murillo Calls Ministry Figures to Repentance
Recently I interviewed Mario Murillo in what may be one of the most important Strang Report videos I've ever done. We dove into the topic of error in the body of Christ and the responsibility leaders have to speak out against it. As believers, we understand that prophets don't always get it right, and it is our duty to test all things. We specifically addressed the recent incidents of false prophetic voices negatively impacting the church, including Kat Kerr, Robin Bullock and Julie Green.
