A New York City pastor is on a mission to help people see that "God still heals." Mike Signorelli of V1 Church in New York City joined Billy Hallowell to explain how facets of the secular medical community are now "open to the spiritual realm."

While some doctors and hospitals are looking for help in the wrong places, he said there is an opportunity for Christians to step into the fold and divert attention toward biblical truth. "What we have to do is believe that God is going to do what only He can do and let me awaken people to the reality that He still heals," Signorelli said. Hear him dive in.

A California pastor said he’s personally witnessing revival unfold inside his church as people increasingly cling closer to the Lord — and it apparently all started after the preacher opened up about his struggles during a recent sermon.

Shane Idleman of Westside Christian Fellowship in Leona Valley, California, told CBN News he believes a genuine spiritual awakening rooted in “sound doctrine” can help pave the way for the spiritual bursts of power seen in certain places in America today. Listen to him explain.

Radio host Steve Deace said "there's no way" he could have scripted out the political events of the past year, noting he believes much of what has unfolded politically and culturally has been steeped in spiritual warfare and chaos.

"I'm convinced that what we saw this last year, a hundred percent, we watched spiritual warfare play out in the natural realm," Deace said, citing attempted assassinations on President Donald Trump, cultural chaos, and unexpected political developments. "I mean, we saw the unseen realm play out in the natural realm."

Evangelist Ray Comfort believes in miracles and has personally experienced God's hand at work, revealing the amazing ways the Lord has shown Himself. "I've seen things that happen that I would consider supernatural," he said. "Like when we were invited to base our ministry in the U.S. over a three-day period, 13 strange things happened that I had to say, 'This is God's hand directing me.'"

The Living Waters ministry leader said these occurrences might not have been considered miracles by most people but that they blew him away. "I said to a guy, 'I think we're gonna go and live in the US. I'm gonna sell my house,'" Comfort said. "He says, 'I'll buy it.' And he bought it on the spot. It's just amazing." He also recalled telling his father-in-law that he planned to go live in the US and that he responded with a message that truly stunned Comfort.

"He said, 'Three days ago, God spoke to my heart and said, you're gonna go and live in the US,'" he said. "My mom, who was Jewish, very lukewarm, not even lukewarm, beneath lukewarm, told me after she went berserk at me, three days earlier, God had spoken to her heart that we're going to move to the US." And that's not all. Around the same time, Comfort also experienced a balloon coming into his backyard that had an American flag on it. "It was just strange," he said. "This was way down and under in New Zealand. So I believe in the miraculous."

Comfort said he's not particularly concerned, though, when God doesn't do what we want on our timetable, noting the Lord isn't a "divine butler" who must respond to our whims. Ultimately, he said people must trust God, even when it doesn't make sense. While much of the focus in life is on grand miracles, Comfort reminded Christians that Christ's death, resurrection — and decision to save humanity is the greatest miracle of all. "[God] transformed me from someone who was drinking iniquity like water, loving darkness, hating the light, eyes full of adultery like every other red-blooded guy," Comfort said. "He transformed me and caused me to love righteousness to a point where it consumed me for the last 50-something years to do God's will." Watch to see Comfort discuss salvation and the miraculous.

Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Great American Media, is on a mission to support faith and family-friendly entertainment — and he has a message about what Hollywood's churning out.

"We have a very loyal audience and we happen to believe the majority of the country wants to see traditional family values and really experience content that's supportive of faith, family, and country," Abbott recently told CBN News at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. "And you look at Hollywood and 98, 99% of what's produced is ... anti-American, people of faith are demeaned and mocked, families are never shown in the traditional sense."
