Mike Pence encourages Americans to pray, keep tithing to church

Published

on

As churches have made the hard choice of suspending services, churchgoing Americans should continue to send their tithes as ministries are playing a vital role in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, Vice President Mike Pence said at a White House press briefing Saturday.

Americans are responding to the novel coronavirus pandemic with “common sense, compassion and generosity,” Pence said and praised religious leaders and faith communities for their continued service.

“Making the hard choice to suspend services, to have online services, even while those ministries are continuing to support food banks and come alongside of the most vulnerable,” he said.

“And of course the chorus of prayers that is coming up from communities of faith around the country is making the difference that it always has in the life of this nation.”

He and President Donald Trump had promised to “remind people that on the weekends that you’re not in the pews, it’s still a good idea, if you can, to go ahead and make that donation.” He explained that “all the ministries are continuing to play a vital role in our communities and we encourage your continued support.”

Also on Saturday, Pence and his wife, Karen Pence, tested negative for coronavirus, according to a statement tweeted by his press secretary, Katie Miller, The Hill reported. A member of the vice president’s staff had recently tested positive for COVID-19.

As of early Sunday, there were over 300,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in 184 countries, areas or territories, with a death toll of over 13,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.

In the United States, the number of confirmed cases jumped to more than 26,000 with more than 340 deaths.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Saturday issued a stay-at-home order for nearly all of the state’s 9 million residents, according to NBC News.

“We must flatten the curve and ensure residents are practicing social distancing,” Murphy said. “Even with this order in effect …, life in New Jersey does not have to come to a complete standstill.”

California, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania are among the states that have taken such desperate measures.

However, amid the coronavirus scare, stories of hope and resilience are emerging.

Last week, a 90-year-old Seattle woman, Geneva Wood, who contracted coronavirus at a senior care facility, recovered, according to CBS News. A CDC investigation found that 62 percent of the roughly 130 elderly residents had become infected at Life Care Center and more than a quarter of them have died.

Wood has five kids, 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

Her grand-daughter-in-law, Kate Neidigh, said, “The love of her family had been a driving force in everything she did pre-coronavirus. No way was this going to change after-the-fact.”

Meanwhile, a recent video clip of a 6-year-old girl teaching a Bible verse, 2 Timothy 1:7, from memory to her 7-year-old brother to calm his fears over the novel coronavirus pandemic is going viral on social media.

“My son Brandon has crippling fear cause of his autism. His sister taught him a scripture she learned at @FellowshipMiss2 Church to help,” tweeted Sheletta Brundidge, a mother of four and children’s author, with the video. “Stop letting your fear of Coronavirus be bigger than your faith in God. Plead The Blood, pray and wash your hands. Amen!”

Governments around the world are scrambling to limit the spread of the coronavirus and are facing criticism of anxious citizens and journalists.

At the press briefing Saturday, President Trump defended his administration’s response in the initial days of the coronavirus crisis.

“I get a lot of credit for having closed our country very early to a very heavily infected country, China,” he said. “Unfortunately, China … I wish China would have told us more about what was going on in China long prior to us reading about it.”

President Trump was responding to a report in The Washington Post claiming that U.S. intelligence agencies issued ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus but Trump and lawmakers played down the threat.

‘The Eyes, Blood Red!’ Kathie Lee Gifford’s Chilling Encounters with the Supernatural and Demons

Published

on

Iconic American TV host, singer, songwriter, and author Kathie Lee Gifford is known for her bold faith in Christ. While she mainly focuses on a positive, faith-filled approach to life and the joy of having a relationship with God, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t encountered true evil during her Christian journey.

She recently opened up during an episode of the “Blurry Creatures Podcast,” sharing stories she has never told before about the times she faced supernatural manifestations of evil. She says those experiences “confirmed everything Jesus ever said.”

Kathie Lee went on “Blurry Creatures” to talk about her new book, Nero and Paul. She says there’s a clear contrast when you compare “ancient evil” to our “living hope” as Christians. But she says biblical realities of God’s Kingdom versus Satan’s evil darkness aren’t just ancient history – they are very real and are becoming more apparent in our world.

“Satan is Satan and he has his minions too. You know he has his demons. There’s an evil spirit and there’s a Holy Spirit. I believe that with all my heart,” she said.

Demonic Encounters

She says true evil not only exists, but she has seen it firsthand. And she believes more and more people are seeing it today, particularly through the lens of video recordings of events that we wouldn’t have heard about before the advent of social media.

Part of the lengthy conversation examined her disturbing firsthand exposure to demonic manifestations in separate incidents that took place from Delaware to the Holy Land.

Kathie Lee recounts two distinct experiences where she encountered demonic entities. She describes these events as “confirmed” experiences that reinforced her faith in the teachings of Jesus.

The Encounter with a Monk in Israel

During a trip to Bethlehem when she was 17, she and her mother entered a sacred site where people were lighting candles. They encountered a monk covered in a cloak who began to growl at them.

It happened when she and her companions could not provide money for a ritual because they left their purses on the bus.

She recalls, “And all of a sudden the cloak comes back and he goes… aaaagggghhhh! (makes a screeching sound). The teeth got orange. The eyes, blood red. You know it when you see it. It’s not subtle.”

*** WATCH CBN’s “Investigating the Supernatural” film series. “Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles,” deals with miraculous healing, and the second film — “Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons,” which was released in March — explores the reality of angels and demons. ***

The Delaware Encounter

Kathie Lee reports she had an equally chilling encounter as a teenager in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

While sitting on a boardwalk bench with friends, a group of “gorgeous” young men approached and sat behind them. Although they appeared physically attractive, their behavior became disturbing.

She recalls that when she mentioned the name of Jesus, they began growling and their faces distorted. There was an immediate, oppressive presence that she quickly identified as demonic.

‘Everything Jesus Ever Said’

When asked if these events changed her perspective on the supernatural, she was clear that they validated her existing beliefs. “It confirmed, it confirmed everything Jesus ever said,” she explained.

She notes that while she has felt demonic oppression at other times, these specific instances were the only ones that manifested in such a visceral, physical way.

Kathie Lee highlights the importance of recognizing spiritual reality, arguing that biblical truth is not meant to be seen as a dry moral system, but as a living narrative of the clash between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of darkness.
