New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has decided that purging thousands upon thousands of important municipal workers will make the city a safer place. But instead, could it actually be setting the stage for complete and utter chaos?

Earlier today, when I visited Steve Quayle's website, I noticed that he had mentioned David Wilkerson's prophecy about widespread fires in New York City. I instantly remembered the prophecy that he was talking about, and I decided to go look it up again. For those who are not familiar with it, here is the relevant portion of that particular prophecy:

"For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago."

Benny Hinn says that, unfortunately, much of what is being put forth in the prophetic movement today is a more of a mixture between the demonic and prophecy—much like what Balaam experienced in Numbers 24.

Hinn, who has been in ministry for more than 45 years, says the anointing simply isn't pure in many cases. That's because, he says, the anointing becomes tainted by various lusts in the lives of the prophets and his army of ministers.

"Life becomes polluted, and when that happens, the gifts will stop coming from Heaven," Hinn told a group of employees at Charisma Media Tuesday afternoon. "The anointing becomes a mixture, and that mixture happens when they begin to walk away from their true calling.

Searching for the truth behind the Bible, biblical archaeologist Jennifer Guetta, M.A., spent 10 years digging at Armageddon (Megiddo, Israel) and other sites throughout Israel. She did not believe in Jesus until one day she was attacked by darkness through Kabbalah and rescued by Jesus in dreams.

Her testimony shows that Jesus is still rescuing people all over the world and provides hope for such a time as this.

As a top supervisor of the Megiddo excavations, Guetta, an American-Dutch archaeologist with a Jewish background, was in the middle of the hottest debates about archaeology and faith. As a scientist, Guetta did not believe in the supernatural until 2012 after becoming involved with Kabbalah. She quickly woke to the reality of the invisible world after she and her family came under attacks by dark occult forces.

'The Chosen' Christmas Movie Breaks Records Even Before Release

The world's No. 1 crowdfunded series, The Chosen, has begun sales for its Christmas special on the birth of Jesus.

It's the first of the series franchise to go to the big screen. It will play nationwide via Fathom Events.

Tickets were first offered during a livestream Tuesday night from series creator, writer and director Dallas Jenkins. Following the livestream, tickets are still available at Fathom Events' website.

Demand was so great producers and event planners had to expand their reach.

Benny Hinn says that the years 2010 to 2012 were the "worst three years of my life." But, Hinn says, God knows exactly what He is doing and he used those tribulations to help mold him into a much better man today.

During a private event at Charisma Media Tuesday, Hinn said God helped him better understand the meaning of the anointing that is on both his life and his position as a minister of the gospel. There were lessons learned from previous years from his relationship with Oral Roberts that were brought to memory that helped him through the fiery trials of that three-year period.

Those lessons have led him to write a new book called Mysteries of the Anointing, which is due to publish in April 2022. [eoa}
