American Idol winner, Abi Carter, stuns with her fantastic cover of "My Heart Will Go On." Anyone who wins American Idol can obviously sing and has a ton of talent. They would not make it through their initial audition and all the following rounds and cuts if they did not have the talent. The show's judges are handsomely paid to weed out those who can and cannot sing. RELATED: American Idol Runner Up Megan Danielle Worships with ‘Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail)' Even if the program's judges failed to do their job, and someone who did not have the talent got far in the competition, America, with their votes, would help rectify that problem. So, the individual who wins Idol every season is thoroughly tested and can definitely sing. Abi Carter’s Fantastic ‘My Heart Will Go On Cover’ Amazes However, winning American Idol and pulling off an outstanding cover of a Celine Dion song are two very different things. Celine Dion has a magnificent, powerful voice, and her songs are suited to someone with her talent. That's why Abi's cover of "My Heart Will Go On" is so incredibly impressive! RELATED: Crash Led Elijah McCormick To Flatline 9 Times, But Now He's Singing On American Idol In a clip posted on social media, Abi recorded herself singing the song, originally recorded and performed by Celine, while lying on the ground. Abi chose to sing that tune, as the text in the video explains, because she was told that it's the "hardest to sing while laying down." Abi passed with flying colors if that was meant to test her singing abilities. It's an outstanding cover that demonstrates her voice’s absolute strength and range. She hits those high notes with what appears to be relative ease.

Pastor and author Greg Laurie explains why you might experience spiritual attacks. The world is a lost and fallen place. It’s filled with people who desperately need to hear Christ's message of hope and love. The Bible says Christians are to witness and reach out to the lost for Christ. Some people may not hear about Jesus Christ any other way. RELATED: Find Strength During Spiritual Attack With These 10 Bible Verses However, Greg says that doing this exact work of spreading the gospel and leading people to Jesus Christ may result in your becoming under spiritual attack. In a clip posted on YouTube, the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship church in Irvine, California, explains why he believes this to be the case. Greg Laurie on Spiritual Attacks "You know, it's been said, ‘You don't kick a dead horse,'" he said. "The idea is if someone is not a threat to the kingdom of darkness, I don't think the devil is going to waste a lot of time on them. But if someone is moving forward as a Christian, and even worse, if they're sharing the gospel and leading people to Christ, get ready; the enemy is going to oppose you." RELATED: How To Find Victory In The Midst Of Spiritual Warfare Greg then draws upon a section in the Bible. Before Jesus was to begin His ministry, He was taken out into the desert and was tempted by Satan. "That actual spiritual attack can be a confirmation you are doing the right thing," he said. "But here's a tricky little thing: Sometimes the worst attacks happen after great spiritual victories."

A federal appeals court removed a temporary hold on a Florida law that bans ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors. In a 2-1 decision, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta blocked a lower court order against the ban while it’s appealed. “Florida will always stand for sanity. Let kids be kids,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said. Florida will always stand for sanity. Let kids be kids. https://t.co/K2bRG8c5L7 — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) August 28, 2024 From the Associated Press: The law revived by the ruling prohibits transgender minors from being prescribed puberty blockers and hormonal treatments, even with their parents’ permission. It also required that transgender adults only receive treatment from a doctor and not from a registered nurse or other qualified medical practitioner. Adults who want the treatment must be in the room with the physician when signing the consent form. U.S. District Judge Judge Robert Hinkle had blocked the law in June. Florida’s attorneys had conceded during the district court trial that the state cannot stop someone from pursuing a transgender identity, but said it can regulate medical care. For minors, the only treatments at issue are puberty blocking treatments and cross-sex hormones — giving testosterone to someone assigned female at birth, for example. Those who were undergoing treatment when the law was adopted in May 2023 were allowed to continue. Surgery, which is rare for minors, was still blocked. Court clears way for Florida to enforce ban on gender-affirming care for minors https://t.co/q3UTinl1BC — The Hill (@thehill) August 27, 2024 Per The Hill: According to KFF’s policy tracker, 26 states have enacted laws or policies limiting access to gender-affirming care for minors since 2021, and most of them create penalties for medical professionals who ignore the bans. Seventeen states are currently facing legal challenges to their restrictions, based on KFF’s analysis. In the Florida case, the appeals court considered whether the state law was in the public interest and based on “legitimate concerns” about the effects of gender-affirming care for minors. “As to harm to others, even with the law in effect, physicians may continue to prescribe and administer puberty blockers and hormones to adults. And minors who were already receiving them may continue to do so,” the order states. The earlier hold on the law was the result of a judge’s ruling that the ban would be unconstitutional and discriminatory against transgender people seeking medical care.
