Denzel Washington's supernatural encounter with God.
Dr. Michael Brown responds to allegations. Soccer star is warned for loving Jesus.
Another church implements AI Jesus. And an update on Bishop TD Jakes' health.
I'm John Madarazzo for CharismaNews.com and these are your top stories of the week.
Bishop TD Jakes, three things you need to know.
Jakes revealed that he had an emergency surgery. How he went through the surgery,
calling his life a miracle. I'm grateful for God's faithfulness,
Jakes says. I'm grateful for your faithfulness. I'm grateful for this season of my life.
I told you last Sunday that I'd see you this Sunday. So, here I am, he said in an Instagram
post. He said, I'm grateful to God for His goodness and His mercy and grace.
Many of you don't realize that you're looking at a miracle.
He says that he faced a life-threatening calamity. In this post here, you could click the link in
the description so that you can go to the page to see this. He said that he's incredibly grateful
to have shared an update earlier this week. And today he's brought a special moment. And this
was posted just a few days ago. And it's got a lot of attention because of the update.
Recently, he had an episode at his church. We reported upon that as he was actually praying,
while just getting ready to collect the offering. He had some sort of an episode
on stage and he was basically rushed off and then taken directly to the hospital.
Jakes said that he did not suffer from a stroke, but that the results would have been fatal without
the intervention of God. Here's some more information based off of what he says here
and on X as well as on Instagram. And Jakes' health scare comes at a time when he filed a defamation
lawsuit against Dwayne Youngblood. Jakes filed the suit after Youngblood alleged that Jakes had tried
to groom and sexually abuse him during an October 28th, 2024 interview on the Larry Reed Live show.
And he actually went back and on November 3rd spoke more on the Larry Reed Live show. Jakes said,
from start to finish, Youngblood's tale of grooming and attempted sexual assault at the hands of
Bishop Jakes is patently false. Bishop Jakes never kissed or tried to kiss Youngblood, never cornered
him or forced him into any situation, sexual or otherwise, the suit continued. The interactions
described by Youngblood during his LRL interviews on November 20th or October 28th and November 3rd
never happened, period. Now you can click the link in the description to read this article and then
click the links in this article to get to the lawsuit in its entirety. I believe there's about
20 pages, but you can read that and come to your own conclusions as well. Now another church is
implementing an AI Jesus. Marco Schmidt of the Peter Scappelli Church in a Swiss city of Lucerne,
he said it was really an experiment. We wanted to see and understand how people react to an AI
Jesus. What would they talk with him about? What would be, would there be interest in talking to
him? We're probably pioneers in this. He said, we had a discussion about what kind of avatar it
would be, a theologian, a person or a saint, but then we realized the best figure would be Jesus
himself. The AI called Dios and Machina appears aesthetically as Jesus and will react verbally
and perhaps create a holy moment, he says. He says that this is not a confession. We are not
intending to imitate a confession. Mario Nafo on his ex account posts all about this and actually
plays a video of AI Jesus behind a confessional and he's speaking in a different language there,
but you can check that out. Go to the link in the description to see this article.
And others now, I love Jesus soccer star issued warning over message on LGBT armband English
soccer player Mark Geeley. I'm sorry. I don't know how to say that name. Correct me in the comments.
Please let me know. He was slapped on Saturday with a warning from the football association after the
Crystal Palace team center back wore an armband and blazoned with the phrase. I love Jesus. The
team captain wrote the Christian saying on a band decorated with rainbow colors intended to represent
the LGBTQ flag according to ESPN. Now, according to the FA, the football association rules,
they allow initiative slogans emblems, emblems promoting the game of football, respect and
integrity, but prohibit players from wearing clothing or gear displaying political or
religious or personal slogans and statements or images. Fortunately, neither will face any the
team nor the athlete will face any formal action from the armband in question. And you can see that
here he wrote and it looks like in Sharpie. I love Jesus over the captain's armband in this picture.
The captain has not received an official warning from us, said the representative. We've contacted
Crystal Palace and we've been told that the captain has been arrested for the crime of
Crystal Palace to formally remind them and Mark Giehi that the appearance on an incorporation in
any item of clothing, football boots or any or other equipment of any religious message is
prohibited as stated in rule a four of our kit and advising regulations. Now the rainbow armband
without the I love Jesus written on it is apparently viewed differently. Let us know in
the comments what you think about this. Is that a political or religious symbol? Let us know what
you think. Dr. Michael Brown responds to inappropriate relationship allegations. Dr. Michael Brown has
released an official statement against the allegations made about him in a recent article
by the Roy's report in the article woman going by the name of Aaron claims that she was uncomfortable
with her relationship with Brown while working at his fire ministry or fire school of ministry.
Now Brown is speaking about the situation. Brown responds in recent weeks, very serious accusations
have come to me and my board concerning events from 23 years ago. Upon receiving the news,
both Nancy and I were shocked and horrified by the mix of accusations, allegations, false statements
and mischaracterizations. That's why we wholeheartedly support our boards immediate decision to launch a
thorough third party investigation. I encourage you to read Dr. Brown's response here, but he says in
the towards the end of this article, the fact is that my actions towards her were certainly foolish
and irresponsible, but but neither sexual nor amorous in any way. And my highest priority as
well as Nancy's is to have the opportunity to meet together in a setting acceptable to her and bring
healing where I can take full responsibility for the things which apparently hurt her so deeply,
things which I thought we addressed 23 years ago. Unfortunately, when Nancy and I learned through
the Roy's report that there was an offense towards me in this woman's heart, we were not allowed to
follow the mandate of Jesus in Matthew 5 23 through 26, but only given the option of offering a
response to an article that will be released online. And he asks, what happened to the biblical
process? Brown further asks for forgiveness from the woman if she is indeed still in need of healing.
That being said, if it's true that for 23 years she has carried this pain and I am responsible for
it, I am beyond mortified and would plead forgiveness and the opportunity to bring healing
and restoration. Her well-being remains our priority. Now remembered, let's keep all parties
covered in prayer that healing and peace are brought forth in the Lord's perfect timing.
And Denzel Washington's supernatural encounter with God. Outspoken Christ follower Denzel Washington
is making headlines once again, not just for his latest film, but for revealing a divine encounter
he had one day during his devotional time. The supernatural story came up while the award winning
actor was giving reporters a behind the scenes look at his new movie Gladiator 2. He says,
I was put on this earth to share and to be an example of the power and wisdom and grace and
mercy of God in my life. I was sitting on a yacht listening to a song called the face of God and
nobody was up. I was in my prayer and meditation reading my Bible and I'm like, Lord, anybody can
see your face. I want to see it. And when he said, I want to see your face, he heard look to your
left. Denzel said, so I looked to my left and I look and I picked up my phone and went, and then
this is what I saw. And he hands the phone to the interviewer. The reporter is shocked as he looks
at the photo on the phone showing a face in the sky, the shape of a mouth, a nose and eyes are
visible among the clouds. Let us know in the comments what you think about this viral photo.
