  • Pastor’s UFO Meeting

    This was a huge topic of interest for me when Perry Stone came out saying Reptilians were being talked about at a secret government meeting with pastors. I want to say THANK YOU for clearing it all up. Makes way more sense now and I appreciate it! Much love Tony!!!

  • Corrupted timeline!!

    That second heaven video is of interest to any of us that God called into Music as a living or representation of him my brother.

    She made a statement in that podcast… “Corrupted timelines” and when she said that I got a distinct impression in the spirit that those two words were a doorway or a window into a much bigger place. So I will go to the trouble of listening to that video podcast again and again and take some notes.

  • Not sure anymore

    After this recent issue about secret government meetings with pastors I’m reconsidering how I feel about this podcast. Feels like it’s more about the clicks and attention that bring in the money and less about getting the truth out there. I hope I’m not right but it sure feels that way now.

RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
Q: How do you approach healing in a way that respects both faith and the complexities of human experience?

RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
Q: What is your view on portals and access points—are these real, and can they be closed through spiritual means?
