When the harrowing force of darkness takes over your very being, would you heed its warning and fortify your faith?

From what first appeared as an ominous warning sign on her patriarchal blessing, devoted stay-at-home mom, Meghan Blanc, recalls her bone-chilling encounter with a demonic spirit that took over her body in a state of oppression—a life-changing event she describes as an urgent wake-up call to strengthen her spiritual shield.

Initially dismissing it as a sudden episode of physical illness, she soon realized there was nothing coincidental about the invasion, making the connection to the once-overlooked reading. But instead of giving in to fear, Meghan shares how this dramatic clash with evil ultimately ignited a more powerful conviction to serve, uplift, and protect her family—both biological, and those soon-to-be welcomed through foster care adoption.

Meghan's testimony stands as a vivid reminder that when Heavenly Father allows us a glimpse into the realm of the adversary, it’s an invitation to draw even closer to the Savior. Join us as we uncover how Meghan’s encounter with Satan’s attacks became a pivotal catalyst for her unwavering discipleship, renewed purpose, and an unshakable promise that the Lord’s hand is ever-present—even in life’s most frightening trials.

If you witnessed an unmistakable sign from Heaven, would you share its meaning with the world?

During two consecutive late-summer nights in 2019, Ilyan Lavanway—a former Air Force veteran, author, and dedicated family man—encountered ancient symbols appearing in the sky; an awe-inspiring sight that would forever impact his perception of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. With a background marked by service and sacrifice, he knew he couldn't simply let go of the unique characters beaming through the clouds. Describing the glyphs as "carved by the finger of God," he sensed an urgent call to spread the word.

Refusing to dismiss this phenomenon as chance, Ilyan turned his curiosity into a quest for deeper faith. He studied the ancient letters, sketched them in detail, and soon felt prompted to publish his findings. Now, he’s committed to living what he calls a “temple-going lifestyle,” sharing how these divine signs and personal revelations fuel his testimony of Christ’s imminent return.

Ilyan’s story is a remarkable journey of faith and revelation. Join us as we discover how even the most unexpected observations can ignite a renewed determination to gather the members of the Church, serve others wholeheartedly, and trust that when Heavenly Father speaks—even through the celestial realm—there’s always a message worth heeding.
