When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn’t find it. Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came out,’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
Religious Freedom and American Liberties Under Attack
About this episode
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive USA joins Philip Cameron for a bold, unfiltered conversation about the spiritual and political battle facing America today. Holmes, who leads a congregation in Collinsville, Illinois, and reaches over 2 million followers through his Facebook pages "Trump and the Great America" and "Battle of the Republic," argues that the church can no longer afford silence on the defining moral issues of our time. Holmes draws on Matthew 12:43-45 — the passage about an unclean spirit returning with seven more wicked spirits — to make the case that not just individuals but entire institutions and generations can come under demonic influence. "The Democrat party today is the antichrist demon possessed party," he states plainly, challenging pastors who refuse to address abortion, transgender ideology, and the erosion of constitutional freedoms. He warns that COVID-era church shutdowns were a deliberate test of government power over religious liberty, pointing to Canadian pastors jailed for preaching as a preview of what could come to America. Philip and Myles close with a shared conviction: the freedom to preach the gospel is itself at stake in the next election, and the church must rise as it has in every great historical turning point.

Quotes worth sharing
“If we put ourselves in a place where God can get through us, God will get it to us.”
“I'm not political, I am biblical. I preach the word of God. I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I teach the truth that is found in the Bible. And if you don't like it, that's your problem, not mine. Take it up with the Father in heaven.”
“The freedom to preach that gospel is at stake. Many folks will say, listen, I'm only gonna preach the gospel. But if you don't have the freedom to preach the gospel — if you don't think this COVID thing was a test as to how they can shut down the churches, you were not paying attention.”
What's Discussed
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive USA in Collinsville, Illinois — who commands over 2 million social media followers — joins Philip Cameron to deliver a prophetic warning about the spiritual state of America. Holmes invokes Matthew 12:43-45 to argue that institutions, not just individuals, can be demonically possessed, applying this framework to the modern Democratic Party's stances on abortion and gender. He calls out pastors for cowardice on cultural issues, warns that COVID church closures were a government power test, and cites jailed Canadian pastors as a harbinger for America. Both men urge believers to fight for First and Second Amendment freedoms as prerequisites for gospel proclamation.

Intro
Philip:Hello, my friend. Welcome to Daily Faith. My name is Philip Cameron, and we are so glad you are joining us today. We have got a tremendous program, a great man of God. Myles Holmes is with me. I've known Myles since we were both young boys. I met him when I was just an early teenager, believe it or not, in New Brunswick, Canada.
Philip:And we have remained friends. Boy, that's nearly — that's the scariest part of 50 years. Isn't that crazy? And we have both watched each other's ministries, and I've always been a great admirer of what he has done. And in the last cycle — not the one with Biden, but the one before, when Donald Trump ran for president the first time — Myles began to speak about things and see things. And he struck such a chord in people's minds and spirits that it grew. His numbers grew so big, over 2 million, I believe. I'll get him to correct me if I'm wrong in a few minutes.
Philip:But he is with us today and he's got some tremendous insights. Let me tell you something. We are living in the most critical days in American history. If Jesus doesn't come back 500 years from now, they will talk about the pivotal moments that America decided to become a socialist country, or America went back to what made it great in the first place. And that is the battle. It is as stark and as clear in my mind — if we don't have a come-to-Jesus moment, literally a come-to-Jesus moment, this country is doomed.
Philip:I come from Great Britain. When Queen Victoria was the queen, Great Britain was the greatest empire that's ever been. When I was a boy in school in Scotland, our maps — our world maps — the teacher used to say to us, all the pink countries, they were colored pink, all of the pink countries were part of the British Empire. India, Africa, Australia, Canada — you have no concept. And our country, the greatest in the world, the greatest beyond a factor of God knows more so than America is today.
Philip:And our country has slowly given away our faith and our heritage. And Great Britain now is nothing more than a 51st state of America. Our country is turning more and more Muslim every day because Muslims are having 10 and 15 kids, and we are having 0.2 or whatever it is. France — you are watching all these riots in France. What the underlying factor of those riots in France, and France is burning, is because they reckoned in the next 20 years France will be a Muslim country, a Muslim country in the middle of Europe with nuclear weapons.
Philip:We are living in unbelievably desperate times. And unless the church wakens up — I'm telling you now, we all sit and we all say, well, you shouldn't be talking about this, Philip. Okay, then we won't talk about it. And then what happens? You wake up and the country's going to hell, completely to hell. It's time for the church to stir itself and pastors and ministers to have enough courage to stand up for the convictions of the faith and say, this is the way to walk. Walk in it. And Myles Holmes is one of those men that has done this.
Philip:And he's going to astonish you today by some of the things he's gonna share with you, and let you know now is the time to be a standard bearer for Christ. On top of that, we have — for those that are watching for the first time — we've got a great work, a mission work in Moldova and Ukraine, and most recently in Turkey. Moldova is one of those pivotal countries between the east and the west. Ukraine is battling for its life, being taken over by Russia. Moldova lives every day under the threat of being taken. As we speak right now, Russia is a couple of days away — at any time it wants, it can take over Moldova.
Philip:And we have been there for 34 years protecting young girls and boys from trafficking. Now in America, there's a great big thing just now we are living in, and because of this movie, The Sound of Freedom, churches and pastors are saying, wow, we've got to get involved in this. Well, welcome to the club. We've been doing this for decades, trying to save and rescue these kids. And it never fails to amaze me — a movie can do more than hundreds of hours of me talking about it.
Philip:We have a place in Moldova called Vatra Village, where we take these young folk that are at risk of being trafficked. If you go after them once they've been trafficked, you rarely have success. One out of a hundred, they reckon, is what is successfully taken back from trafficking. They're being so destroyed by it that they're lost forever. What we've decided to do is to try and put our foot on the hose pipe of trafficking by having these homes — beautiful homes where young folk come.
Philip:The only answer — except of course Jesus is the only answer — but the next answer to that is a bed, a place to sleep, a place to go to school, a place to be educated, a place to have love and the compassion of Christ shown to them, a place where they can call family. Most of the kids we deal with have never had family, or the family they've had has been an alcoholic father that's beat them half to death every day. And we are working at this moment as hard as we can to take more kids in.
Philip:We have a home in Ukraine exactly the same way, where we're looking just now at a whole new property and a whole new area of activity in the southern part of Moldova. We've been doing this the same way — we had a house in Ukraine for six years before Russia invaded Ukraine. And we're caring for ministry and being in that country. We've been there for six years. We're not new to the game. This is not the newest fad that we can all get excited about. We've been there, and after most other people have gone and folded the tent and gone away like they've done in Ukraine, we are still there.
Philip:We're still feeding, we're still caring, because we're not just visiting — we live there. That's our home. And we just want you to pray about this. And apart from all of that, as we turn these orphans that come into us from orphans to sons and daughters, and then the missionaries — all through the summertime we've had the most amazing season of ministry. And one of the things that really fills me — we'll go to a village that has no gospel witness, no gospel witness whatsoever. And these orphans, or these former orphans, go and have camp and share the wonderful story of Jesus.
Philip:And they just sent me a video the other day. There's no voice on it, it's just music and kids having a great time. The kids you see conducting the camp were once orphans. The kids you see enjoying the camp have never heard the gospel before. Watch this video.
Philip:Can't you feel those kids? You imagine closing your eyes and putting your hands together and talking to a God you didn't even know existed a few moments before. That's what our kids do all through the summertime. And while some are doing that, we have a constant care ministry that is caring for widows and broken families. And they also sent me this video. So the first one is about joy and the camps and reaching these kids, and this other one is our kids going to poverty-stricken families, alcohol-destroyed. Watch this.
Philip:God's hand extended, reaching out to the oppressed. Amazing, amazing stuff. And you'll be a part of that by being a sponsor of the Orphan's Hands. A dollar a day won't change your world. A dollar a day will change every single life you've seen in these videos. It won't cost you a hardship to give a dollar a day. But we could not survive, we could not keep doing what we do. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I've never seen an organization — every one of the homes at Vatra Village, the house parents were kids we rescued 17 years ago, now married with their own kids.
Philip:And these kids have now grown up. They're my sons and daughters. The DNA that we put into them is still being worked out every day in the lives of these kids. And I would love you to help us. Your gift of any amount — plus, if you'd like to help us monthly, it would be a tremendous help to us. It's really simple. The Orphan's Hands, PO Box 2525, Clinton, Tennessee, 37716. You can go to DailyFaith.TV and make a gift online right now — it's like wiring the money to us and we can put the money right back into use. And also we've got an 800 number, 833-DAILY-FAITH. Very simple — 833, and then just dial Daily Faith on your keypad. And you can get to us.
Philip:Any gift you give will allow us to continue being God's hand extended in one of the most brutal, dangerous parts of the world there is right now. Our kids — my son Andrew just came back from Ukraine and Turkey and Moldova, and as he slept at night in Ukraine, he heard the sirens go off. They heard the bombs, the missiles being blasted into the country. We have a regular feeding program there. We're not going anywhere. We're gonna reach these people for Jesus if it's the last thing we do. And you can help us make this miracle happen. So please do so, and the numbers and the address will be on the screen. Let the Lord speak to your heart.
Philip:I'm excited to have Myles Holmes with me today. He's a tremendous man of God. I've known this guy all my life — all his life too, nevermind. And he has a tremendous church called Revive USA. But I want him to talk to us today and educate us regarding what he sees taking place right now in the world around us — the political world, the spiritual world. And Myles, I am delighted to have you with me. Every time I see you, my heart dances because I just love being with you.
Myles Holmes:Love being with you as well, Philip. I was just thinking — I don't know of anyone I've followed since I was nine years old with such effective and powerful ministry that is either not in heaven or retired today. You just don't quit. You don't have an off button, you don't have a snooze button. And that's why God continues to pour through you. If we put ourselves in a place where God can get through us, God will get it to us.
Miles Holmes' Social Media Reach and Platform
Myles Holmes:Absolutely. And that's why you are being so effective and touching the nations for Christ. And I just want all of my followers on all of my pages — I was able to post this show on Trump and the Great America with 2 million followers, and on Battle of the Republic with 105,000 followers. And I want my followers to know that this is a ministry that's been tested and tried, proven through more than one generation of being an effective channel of God's blessing and God's help and God's anointing.
Myles Holmes:I can't, Philip, get that message off my head that the missionary heard years ago — you're telling me something, but I can't hear you because I'm hungry. Well, you're taking the gospel and food and blankets and help and encouragement and rescue and safety and hope. Oh my goodness. You can't live long without hope. And what you're doing to an entire generation is investing, seeding hope.
Myles Holmes:And listen, if you've got anything you can do — a dollar a day, $50 a month, a thousand dollars, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 — you need to get it into a ministry that's literally not padding something. But listen, what I love about the Orphan's Hands Ministries is they're not housing girls and boys in a dormitory with bunk beds in an industrial setting. They're taking these children out of the worst possible backgrounds and putting them in a beautiful home that my wife and I would be happy to live in. It's gorgeous.
Myles Holmes:So please support this ministry. They've been faithful. They've never strayed. They've kept the main thing the main thing — the gospel of Jesus Christ. Philip, I'm proud of you and I'm grateful for your passion, and your wife and Andrew and the whole team there in Tennessee is literally taking the world for the gospel of Jesus Christ. And our church supports you. We can't wait to get you back here again next year. And I'm delighted to say Philip Cameron is the real deal. You need to support everything that the Orphan's Hands is doing.
Philip:What a fabulous commercial. My goodness. Thank you so much. I don't deserve you, Myles, but it's true.
Myles Holmes:Well, I do know — we're excited about what God's using us to do. I do know this. I'm 61 years of age. This Saturday, my wife and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. And the verse that I can't get out of my spirit is — praise God — the verse that I can't get out of my spirit is, to whom much is given, much is required. Philip and I both have a godly heritage, parents who loved and served God and spoke the spirit of God into our lives. And that's why we've gotta respond — to whom much is given, much is required.
Myles Holmes:So Philip and I both feel like we've gotta do more than we've ever done before. We've gotta be more effective — not just do more, but make sure it's more effective. So please contact this ministry. Let them know you're gonna be a monthly supporter, you're gonna do something significant, or you're gonna do something daily, because this world needs Jesus. Jesus is coming soon. I believe it. I believe in the imminency of Christ's return. He could come back before this show is accomplished.
Myles Holmes:But if he doesn't come back in 50 years, you and I are gonna be leaving a legacy, a culture, a nation to our children. We're gonna be leaving a world to our children. That's why we've gotta be involved. We've got to be on the front lines, fighting for freedom and liberty and truth, and the ability to keep doing what we're doing.
Philip:How do you see — I know you're involved in ministry, that's your primary calling. But God has used you to be almost prophetic in what you're seeing in the political world that we're living in. And what amazes me is that Donald Trump — usually when someone isn't elected in America, they kind of dissipate and everything breaks down, it all kind of falls away under the sands of the political landscape. But it seems to me, hearing anyone I talk to, anyone I listen to on television, whether you're Democrat or Republican, there's only one name on anyone's lips.
Institutional Demonic Possession Doctrine
Philip:And that is Trump, because he is the white elephant in every room that every Democrat and every Republican is dealing with, because what he did and what he has said still resounds with the American population. The Supreme Court is still making wonderful, righteous decisions based upon the fact that he put three constitutional judges in. Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for the White House, and I'm fighting and praying he'll come back to the White House in 2024, despite all the weaponization of the FBI, the politicization of the Department of Justice.
Philip:And when you consider — if cocaine was found in the White House under Donald Trump, what kind of noise we would have made. Cocaine is found in the Democrat White House and they can't find who's responsible. What a joke. Anyhow, leaving that aside, we've gotta fight for America, fight for freedom, fight for liberty.
Myles Holmes:And it's amazing to me, Philip, the number one critics I have against what I do are other preachers, because they're so embarrassed that they cannot speak up. They cannot talk about transgender issues, they cannot talk about abortion, they cannot talk about the destruction of the American economy — all based upon the Democrat agenda. And I'm bold enough to say it, Philip, that the Democrat party today is the antichrist, demon-possessed party. I'm not talking about your grandfather's Democrat party or even your dad's, but the Democrat party of 2023, who says there should be no limit on abortion.
Myles Holmes:That's the worship of Moloch until they're born. They say there should be no limit on the lower age of when a child wants to change their gender — 2, 3, 4 years old, that's okay. That is absolute demonic possession. I do know, Philip, we all know that individuals can be demon possessed. We know that pigs can be demon possessed because Jesus cast demons into the pigs. I've come to the conclusion that institutions can be demon possessed, that organizations can be demon possessed, when they literally do everything they can to worship Moloch, Baal, and Ishtar — the goddess of sexuality and fertility in the Old Testament that pagans and Israelites worshipped.
Matthew 12 and Wicked Generations
Myles Holmes:And then you find out that Jesus, when he cast out demons, says in Matthew chapter 12 — when an unclean spirit goes out of a man, goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits, seven times more wicked than himself. They enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.
Myles Holmes:It seems to me like Jesus is saying a generation can be demon possessed. I'm not in that generation, I'm not in that sphere, I'm not demon possessed. But if a generation, or an entity, or an organization, or an organism can be demon possessed, I would suggest today that the Democrat party is actually possessed of demons, inspired by demons, led by demons. So if you're a Democrat, you cannot be a Christian. You've gotta get out of that party. And preacher, if you don't like that, it's because you're not biblical. I'm not political, I am biblical. I preach the word of God. I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I teach the truth that is found in the Bible. And if you don't like it, that's your problem, not mine. Take it up with the Father in heaven.
Philip:Don't you see a turnaround in this thing? As I'm watching — they say democracy always loses the first battle. Whenever we go to war, they always kick us sideways at the beginning, and then it takes this second response against it. And what I'm watching in the country — it happened with this Bud Light commercial, this silly thing that they did. I mean, so stupid. And then what happens is they're so silly, they're so blinded by hatred and by this lust of power or whatever they have, then the next company does the same thing. And it's almost like lemmings going off the end of the cliff — they're running off the edge of the cliff.
Philip:And yet in the broad base center of America, I believe there's a repulsion coming, saying, hold on a second. I don't think a guy should be in the girl's showers. I don't think that — after all the fighting for women's rights — and I believe a woman and a man should have equal rights, completely. And what they're doing is, in their blindness, they're removing the equal rights that they've so long fought for. So the girls that have studied and trained and worked night and day to become an athlete, a runner, a high jumper, a swimmer, whatever part — and suddenly they're so blinded by this ideology that they have, they're willing to sacrifice all the young girls that have worked themselves to try to get some position in life, college grants and scholarships. They don't care about that. They're interested in their agenda first.
Transgender Ideology and Women's Rights
Philip:And the church in America needs to make a clear line — this is what we stand for. And by God, like Martin Luther said, I can do no other. And unless we get to that point, we get pushed around by every wind of change that the devil wants to put upon us. European countries are moving away from this transgender lunacy, where America is pushing stronger and farther. Is the United States of America the country most involved in the transgender mutilation of children? Absolutely. We should be ashamed and embarrassed. We need to repent.
Myles Holmes:And they can do it behind the parents' back. Exactly. We've gotta fight this tooth and nail. I talked to a young man just a couple of months ago who was never a Trump supporter, but he said, I've gotta tell you, now I need a MAGA hat, because this is the one issue. He said abortion is an issue, but this transgender issue is what has brought him over to the MAGA side, because he said this is worth getting a gun and standing on your front porch with — if you're coming after my girls, my little boy, to try to change their gender. We've gotta fight. This is civil war. It's definitely a spiritual war.
Myles Holmes:If we don't wake up, we've gotta wake up to fight for freedom and liberty and truth and gender. God made male and female, not 62 other versions.
Philip:If you're watching today, I want you to get in contact with Myles and his ministries, because he is absolutely a clear-sounding bell in the days we're living in. He rings through the fog of religious terror and says, this is the way, walk in it. And you can get him at www.mylesholmes.com. Are there any other ways they can get ahold of you, Myles?
Myles Holmes:You can follow me on Battle of the Republic on Facebook — easy to find, Battle of the Republic — or Trump and the Great America.
Philip:Trump and the Great America. And we are out of time already. Every time I talk to you, our days fly past because what you have to say is important. Tell me again, what is the most important thing that the church needs to be on the lookout for in this next election sequence coming up? What are we gonna guard ourselves for?
Myles Holmes:Never give up the fact that the gospel of Jesus Christ is central. Jesus Christ came to save the sinner. Never lose that fact. But the freedom to preach that gospel is at stake. Many folks will say, listen, I'm only gonna preach the gospel. But if you don't have the freedom to preach the gospel — if you don't think this COVID thing was a test as to how they can shut down the churches, you were not paying attention. We've gotta fight for liberty, fight for freedom, fight for the First and Second Amendments, and stand up and say, you're not gonna silence me, you're not gonna shut me down.
Pastors Called to Speak on Cultural Issues
Myles Holmes:I've got pastor friends in Canada who have been in jail and may go back to prison because they will not sit down. And that's happening. We've gotta have that kind of fighting spirit in America.
COVID Shutdowns as Religious Liberty Test
Philip:It is happening. I mean, let me tell you, in Canada they have been sent to prison for standing for the gospel. And I don't know what kind of prime minister they have. I've never seen such a silly mind in my life as Trudeau, in my whole life. I mean, Canada — they say that you deserve the government that you vote for. And my Lord, if ever a country has got themselves a doozy. But who are we to talk? We are in the mess we're in right now.
Philip:But I believe — and I mean this, Myles, and I say this from the depth of my heart — I believe that America is on the cusp of seeing a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost. And the only thing that has saved this country historically has been the church that stood up and said, no, no, no, no — we've gone far enough. And I believe that it's time. Thank you so much for being with us today, Myles. We love you. We are behind you and we support you.
Canadian Pastors Jailed for Preaching
Philip:Mylesholmes.com, www.mylesholmes.com. Contact him. His church is in Collinsville, Illinois — Revive USA. He and his beautiful wife pastor that great church. And if ever you're in that area, I know you'd love to see him and be a part of what he's doing. Thank you again, Myles, for being with us on Daily Faith, and we look forward to being with you at the great church that you pastor. Thank you so much.
Myles Holmes:Love you, brother. We're looking forward to it.
Philip:Listen, folks, keep praying for America. We are living in the last days. We are in the fight of our lives for this nation. Patriots, you need to stand up and get back to the fact that America first — we can't save the world until America's strong, and we've flipped that thing backwards. So we love you. Thank you for watching Daily Faith. Pray about being part of our mission work that we're involved with. You are a miracle in the making. We love you. We'll see you again. Bye-bye.
Common questions
Why does Myles Holmes think pastors are afraid to speak up on political issues?
Holmes says the number one critics of his outspoken stance are other preachers — because they're embarrassed that they can't bring themselves to address topics like transgender issues, abortion, or the economy. He argues that silence on these issues isn't being apolitical; it's being unbiblical.
What does Myles Holmes mean when he says the Democrat Party is 'demon possessed'?
Holmes draws on Matthew 12, where Jesus describes how a wicked generation can be overtaken by unclean spirits, to argue that institutions — not just individuals — can be demon possessed. He points specifically to the party's positions on unlimited abortion and allowing very young children to change their gender as evidence of what he calls demonic inspiration.
What does Myles Holmes say is the biggest threat to the church heading into the next election?
Holmes argues that the freedom to preach the gospel is what's most at stake. He points to COVID-era church shutdowns as a test run for silencing churches, and cites Canadian pastors who have been jailed for preaching as a warning of where America could be headed if Christians don't fight for First Amendment protections.
How does Myles Holmes describe the homes run by Philip Cameron's Orphan's Hands ministry?
Holmes emphasizes that the children aren't housed in industrial-style dormitories with bunk beds. He says the homes are beautiful enough that he and his wife would be happy to live in them — and that the ministry has stayed faithful to the gospel without ever straying from its mission.
What verse drives Myles Holmes's sense of urgency in ministry right now?
Holmes says he can't get Luke 12:48 — 'to whom much is given, much is required' — out of his spirit. Because both he and Philip Cameron were raised with a strong godly heritage, he feels a deep obligation to respond by being not just more active, but more effective in ministry than ever before.
