VIDEO: UNREDACTED-- an INTERVIEW WITH HENRY HASTINGS - September 28, 2026

  1. Somewhere along the line - in naming the gifts of the Spirit - faith, healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, tongues and their interpretation became counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of God. Those four things are good, but they are not in St. Paul's inspired list of the gifts in 1 Corinthians 12.

  2. Above comment refers to current teaching in the Catholic Church. Wisdom and knowledge are still taught. The seven are (as opposed to nine in 1 Cor. 12): wisdom, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, fear of God, understanding (which more or less equates to distinguishing between spirits in Paul's list). Every mainline church has redacted the gifts to one degree or another it seems.

  3. Thank you, Diana, for sharing this video. Wow! Awesome. I was fortunate enough not to grow up in a church. No tainted ideas as to who Christ was or was not -- particularly with the power of Holy Spirit. This is not to say I was not brought up in a Christian home. When I was 8 my mother gave me a children's bible. And I remember getting to the end, when Jesus died on the cross, I was sobbing. And at the end was the sinner's prayer which I prayed. I must say that I have lived a life of coming and going to and from the Lord. But he has always brought me back to him. It has only been during the past five years (during and after COVID) that he has drawn me closer to him. My husband and I were anti-vaxers while my friends and family were not. It could get kind of lonesome, but guess what? Jesus was there. I struggled with my love for wine and beer for some 40 years. No, I was not an alchohalic, but it was my crutch. My couple of glasses a wine a night were my comfort. Until I began to feel convicted by the LORD. I would go off from it a couple days, only to return to it, and ask God to forgive me. Finally, one morning, three year's ago, as I was sitting with my Lord, lamenting my weakness. He said to me, "What do you love more, the alchohal or me?" Wow! There it was. I said you Lord, but I need you to take away the desire from me. And he did. I have not had one sip or will I ever again. This was my coming to Jesus moment, and before this, I never had a testamony, and now I do. We serve an awesome God. And he is good and merciful. I am blessed beyond measure.

    1. Thank you for sharing your story, Alesia! I too had such a tender love for Jesus at about that age. "Churchism" (and dispensationalism), and just life in general, dampened it as time went on. It's come back as I've surrendered more and more and let Him take me deeper and farther into Him! Praise God for your deliverance from taking comfort in alcohol!

    3. Amen Alesia & Elizabeth! Your story Alesia, is one of victory. Thank you for sharing it. I grew up Catholic. In a nutshell, I saw what it did to my mother with guilt, that’s when I decided as a teenager I did not want any part of it. My father was a Lutheran, but he went to the Catholic Church out of respect for my mother. We never really read the Bible much, probably because my parents were confused. I did have wonderful parents growing up, however. We had a large family (7 children) and I only recall one argument my parents had. We did many things together as a family and I always felt loved. I got saved around the age of 17 when I met a neighbor of a boy I was dating at the time. She loved Jesus so much that she basically told the whole neighborhood, including my boyfriend! She was a charismatic, and so I started going to an Assembly of God church. It wasn’t until around covid I started hearing that the rapture was a lie. The church we were going to closed due to Covid. I never went back. I look forward to what God is doing with the church!

    4. Deborah, I didn't know you grew up Catholic! My husband was a cradle Catholic, and I became one after we were married. I chose to because I felt a sense of wonder and mystery that I didn't find in my home church. I still feel that! But, yes...if you grow up a certain way, you can get caught up in guilt. I'm sorry that your mother went through that, and you also by seeing it. The church I grew up in (Methodist) was actually really good. Small and caring. The main thing that troubled my spirit was the dispensationalist beliefs. And there was something missing, although they of course taught salvation through Jesus, love of neighbor, etc.. My parents and most people actually lived it, too. Like your parents, I don't think mine ever argued. Our childhoods sound very similar! Thank you for sharing your story! I too look forward to what God is doing with the Church!

    5. Your Charismatic friend who loved Jesus so much that she talked about Him to everyone sounds like an amazing person! She must have been able to talk about Him like that without being pushy and turning people off!

    6. Elizabeth, thanks for sharing part of your church experiences. My friend, Leslie, was as bold as a lion when it came to Jesus! (She was 10 years older than me.). She is in Heaven now and has been since 1981. She was 33 when she was killed by a drunk driver. She was driving with her four children, all of her children survived. That’s another amazing story to tell one day!!

    7. If you're totally in love with Jesus, so.much that you have to talk about Him, that might actually attract people... Sounds like that was true in her case! How tragic that she was killed at such a young age, and leaving her four children... I have to think that God worked through even that. It seems miraculous that all four children survived!

    8. The Catholic Charismatic movement (of the Holy Spirit!) has been going on since the late '60s. Their prayer has been for it to come to the whole Church...which hasn't happened, yet. I got involved briefly three years ago. I quit going due to my pain issue, and because I wasn't ready to speak in tongues - there was no pressure to though. I went to a healing service one time, and a person laid hands on me and prayed over my main pain issue (it's pretty sensitive). I didn't receive healing at that time. (But another person prayed over a minor issue in my knee, and it did receive healing!) Since then, I've received complete and sudden remission of pain, from time to time - often through my pastor, who has a background the Charismatic movement. The pain isn't constant, but has been persistent, and there's no real explanation for it - could be a nerve issue. It has been a lot less persistent lately 😊

    9. The Charismatic movement of the Catholic Church has been ecumenical, I want to add. It started in other churches and groups in the same time frame, the late '60s. Can't be coincidence! I remember some of it from youth group in the '70s. I didn't know it at the time, but in 1977 there was a huge ecumenical gathering of Charismatics here in Kansas City. It is still talked about today. Among many other things, one thing that happened was that there was a prophetic exclamation that "The Body of Christ is broken." Again... I'm looking forward to whatever God is going to do.
