WE ARE NOT READY FOR WHAT'S COMING NEXT (Pay Attention)

in 2020 reports surfaced that Vladimir Putin warned Russians that the country that led in Technologies using artificial intelligence will dominate The Globe fast forward to 2025 and pay attention to what China and the USA are doing the picture becomes clearer China recently launched deep seek one article stated deep seek a Chinese artificial intelligence AI startup made headlines worldwide after it topped app download charts and caused us tech stocks to sync in January it released its latest model deep seek R1 which it said rivaled technology developed by chat GPT maker open Ai and its capabilities while

costing far less to create its popularity and potential rattled investors wiping billions of dollars off the market value and called into question whether American firms would dominate the booming artificial intelligence Market as many assumed they would president Donald Trump described it as a wakeup call for us companies end quote then the world was rocked with this news the Stargate project Trump touts $500 billion bid for AI dominance so now as watchful Christians how should we be taking this kind of information well there is one school of thought which makes the connection between Ai and the

antichrist's Beast system which is to come this Theory focuses on what the Bible says in Revelation 13: 14-5 because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first Beast it deceived the inhabitants of the earth it ordered them to set up an image in honor of the Beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived the second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first Beast so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed the key

phrases from that passage of scripture is it ordered them to set up an image in honor of the Beast and the second beast was given power to give breath to the IM of the first Feast so that the image could speak some suggest that these Bible verses are talking about AI whether in the form of holograms or robots one of the theories out there is that AI will be a part of the Beast system because it's a man-made creation that can be used to enforce the bidding of the Antichrist in today's world the majority of

people already have ai integrated into our daily lives how many of us talk to Alexa Siri or Google assistant or even the AI system or software in our cars or security cameras and not only that but the AI responds directly to us and obeys a command or gives us information or Direction many fail to notice that our interaction with AI is widespread and already a part of our lives but the following is where you should be concerned wired reported on a nonprofit religious Corporation founded by Anthony leowski called way of the future and stated the

documents state that way of the future's activities will focus on the realization acceptance and worship of a godhead based on artificial intelligence AI developed through computer hardware and software that includes funding research to help create the Divine AI itself the religion will seek to build working relationships with AI industry leaders and create a membership through community outreach initially targeting AI professionals and lay persons who are interested in the worship of a godhead based on AI the filings also say that the church plans to conduct workshops and educational programs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area beginning

this year end quote does this not sound like the early stages of a beast system coming together is it beyond the realm of possibility that we may one day live in a world where there's advanced form of AI capable of tracking analyzing and manipulating human behavior on an unprecedented scale is it far-fetched to think that the mark of the beast could come in the form of something linked to Ai and would therefore allow or restrict you to participate in society depending on your behavior or compliance although these possibilities are theoretical many Christians are paying close

attention when it comes to the direction that AI is heading at as you grow and mature as a Christian there will come a time when you have to increase in your knowledge the Bible says my people perish because of what a lack of knowledge a lack of knowledge is a dangerous thing and here's why it's so dangerous it's dangerous because it means you are in a fight with no weapons with no vision the Christian Life to be put plainly is a fight that's just what it is that's why we're told to fight the good fight

that's why we are told that we wrestle against principalities that's why the Bible says he who endures to the end he who perseveres or stands firm to the end shall be saved reading between the lines this all tells me that when I choose to follow Christ I am enlisting in his army I'm signing up to fight so how can you be in a fight with a lack of knowledge about your enemy how can you be in a battle with a lack of knowledge about your tools and the resources you have to defend yourself a lack

of knowledge is what unfortunately destroys too many Christians and so on that topic I would like to expose a few things about the enemy your enemy I want you to know who you're fighting but more importantly I pray that this message will stir up your spirit and rile you up for battle and as I begin keep this thought in the back of your mind as a child of God you're fighting from a position of Victory you're not fighting for victory but from a position of Victory because the battle was already won by our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ now there are hierarchies in the kingdom of darkness in the Amplified translation from Matthew 12: 26 the Bible reads if Satan casts out Satan that is his demons he has become divided against himself and disunited how then will his kingdom stand so from this verse we understand that the devil has a kingdom which is the kingdom of darkness this Kingdom of his is somewhat unified in its opposition to the kingdom of God and finally in the kingdom of darkness as in any Kingdom there is a pillar of power there's a chain of

command there are ranks in a kingdom here's how we can piece together the fact that there are hierarchies in the Demonic realm Ephesians 6:12 says for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places this is a list of spiritual enemies principalities rulers of Darkness spiritual hosts of wickedness however you interpret this verse the indication is certainly that there seems to be a ranked order in the kingdom of darkness there will be a top

level of evil spiritual forces below the devil and I believe these to be principalities if you remember the story of Daniel he prayed and prayed for 21 days and when the angel finally came to deliver his answer Daniel 10 verse 12 and 13 says then he said to me don't be afraid Daniel for for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before God your words were heard I have come because of your words however the prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me for 21 days but behold

Michael one of the chief princes came to help me because I had been detained there with the kings of Persia the prince of the kingdom of Persia this wasn't your regular foot soldier this was a principality that was blocking Daniel's prayer it wasn't your regular demon but it was a principality that was strong enough to need the Archangel Michael to come in and intervene this was a higher ranking evil power now despite these ranks in the kingdom of darkness the kingdom of God naturally has its own order of things our God is a god of

order and he has an innumerable number of angels of ailable to do his bidding some angels are created simply to worship others are messengers but thank God that we have Waring Angels available to us the angel who delivered an answer to Daniel said the prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me for 21 days but behold Michael one of the chief princes came to help me because I had been detained there with the kings of Persia although the Prince of Persia attempted to stopped the angel from delivering Daniel's prayer it was still no match for

Michael the Archangel and so the Prince of Persia is obviously a high-ranking territorial spirit this is very different from the type of demons found elsewhere in the Bible demons which cause sickness or illness Luke 8:1 and 2 says soon afterward he went on through cities and Villages proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God and the twel were with him and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities Mary called Magdalene from whom seven demons had gone out the Bible says women who had been healed of evil spirits

and infirmities meaning there exists a kind of demon that brings sickness and disease so how are we to interpret all of this and understand it in our own Christian lives well firstly we ought to know that there are ranks in the kingdom of darkness the stronger we get in faith the stronger the opposition but when you have knowledge when you have knowledge you know that Jesus Christ outranks every demon every principality every ruler of Darkness including the devil Jesus Christ outranks them all without knowledge you will perish according to the Bible you will perish because

you will become fearful and fear really only enters because you have taken Jesus Christ out of the equation of course you'll become fearful at the thought of fighting evil principalities on your own of course you'll be fearful at the thought of fighting demons on your own but when you have knowledge you will not fear when you have knowledge you will not perish when you have the knowledge that Jesus Christ holds absolute power over all things then you will not perish when you have the knowledge that Christ outranks the highest ranking member of the kingdom of

darkness then you eliminate fear this is why it's so important to know God's word because the Bible says in James 2: 19 you believe that there is one God you do well even the demons believe and tremble even the demons tremble when you get God involved you shouldn't be moved to fear or worry because of the kingdom of darkness the Bible says in Luke 10:1 17 then the 70 returned with Joy saying Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name just the name of Jesus Christ Alone holds enough power to defeat the

Devil his name alone carries power so I encourage you to fight from a place where you know that you can call on the Son of God the one who has the highest rank above all live with freedom and boldness yes you may have to fight a demon at some point you may have to fight a ruler of wickedness at some point but if God is for us who can be against us even the Devil Himself is a defeated foe I would like to end with a few fighting words a verse that you should know as

you fight this good fight of faith Luke 10: 19 says listen carefully I have given you Authority that you now possess To Tread on serpents and scorpions and the ability to exercise authority over all the power of the enemy Satan and nothing will in any way harm you we have authority through the name of Jesus Christ we have authority through the blood of Jesus through faith this Authority is what we need to exercise and that is the kind of knowledge we ought to have the Gates of Hell cannot Prevail they will not Prevail because we

have knowledge we have the knowledge of the authority we're given by Christ we know that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to overcome the devil we know that God has angels encamped all around us there is a Divine perimeter protecting you and me as children of God in closing should you find yourself under attack at any point in your life remember Ephesians 6: 10-2 which says finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes

of the devil for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the cosmic Powers over this present Darkness against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly places well the term Christian is well known that doesn't mean it is well understood there are many different views about who and what a Christian is there even seem to be varying ideas about the kind of Christian that are out there given the things that Christianity teaches such as loyalty to God selflessness morality and warning of judgment it isn't surprising that

many people reject it but people rarely ignore Christianity because it is a religion that makes truth claims and rebukes sin when people reject Christianity they often become bitter and hostile towards Christians they may label Christians as simpletons Fanatics or something worse and many many people love to highlight the hypocrisy they believe they see and Christians the world loves to point out examples of professing Christians who behave in sinful ways such Behavior validates unbelievers persistence in their sinfulness after all they say Christians are just Hypocrites they love to tell everyone else how to act but break

their own rules those who view Christians as the worst class of hypocrite believe that Christians are simply living fake lives lives that try to put on a show to cover up their faults and flaws sadly the world isn't always wrong about this many people profess to know Christ and then live in un Christlike ways some people say they follow Christ but what they say and how they live are vastly different Jesus rebuked such hypocrisy and warned not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but the one who does the

will of my father who is in heaven to paraphrase Jesus taught that just because we claim to be Christian doesn't mean we are if we say we follow Christ but don't actually follow him then we are not his people that doesn't mean Christians are perfect but those who claim to follow Christ yet willfully rebel against Jesus's commands and instructions are Christian in word only and Jesus warns that the end for such a person will be destruction not salvation sometimes worldly people are unfair and ironically hypocritical in their judgment of Christians but if we claim to

be followers of Christ Our Lives should prove our claims we must recognize the damage we do when our words Proclaim Christ as king but our lives say something else a Christian acknowledges that Jesus is the Messiah the Christ that God promised to sin to bring Salvation to the world a genuine Christian believes that if Jesus is God's Christ that means Jesus is the anointed king and that he is our Sovereign Lord a lord who demands faithful obedience to be a Christian means we follow Christ the more common word throughout the New Testament for one who

follows Christ is disciple a disciple is a student who learns from a teacher to become like that teacher Christians don't pick and choose what they like from Jesus's teachings Christians are disciples who are learning about Jesus and trying to become more and more like him real Christians don't merely respect some of Jesus's virtues they trust in Jesus as Savior and Redeemer and true Christians don't simply complement Jesus's philosophy they seek to live lives that honor and glorify Jesus as the king of kings and Lord of lords sometimes it can be confusing genuine Christians are imperfect

sadly there are times we sin and others may use such failures as justification for their assessment that that Christians are just all Hypocrites others espouse some Christian ideas but also reject some Christian ideas and while it's nice to hear people speak well about Christianity we must realize the danger of espousing cultural Christianity or anything that complements the Christian religion without submitting to Jesus as the Christ ultimately our goal must be to follow King Jesus whatever the world says whatever failures others or we may encounter whatever syncretism some may pursue Christ is our King let us

devote ourselves to following him and him alone
