We’re living in a very noisy world. There are many events, issues and distractions diverting our attention but we must stay rooted in the Word of God through these turbulent times. The world has just witnessed a miracle with the unfortunate incident of an attempted assassination of Former President Trump.
This incident has shifted the perspective in America. We’re at a pivotal moment as constant, rapid changes and distractions bombard us on every side. Evil cannot stand. America is having an identity crisis. Our country and democracy are under siege. The unspoken realities are yet to take place. We cannot be ignorant to the devices of the devil who uses illusion through deception.

The world is in a place of unrest, and we have more than our own share of drama, trauma and turmoil in our cities and communities. Globally, we must contend with current warfare with Israel and Palestine (Hamas), Russia and Ukraine, immigrants crossing the border, inflation, global outages, climate change and natural disasters.
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Matt 24:4-8
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), we are headed for the unknown capabilities and opportunities as well as the devastating impact it will have on society. Depending on how you use (AI), it can either diminish your creativity or the ability to use your mind and think for yourself as you become more dependent on its function. In hence, you can use it as a tool to rapidly increase your productivity and efficiency. Although artificial intelligence has its pros and cons, the world is headed for rapid global changes that the average person is not prepared for.
I recently saw a post on Instagram that had a huge room of human-like robots. It was just like the population of robots in the movie “I-Robot.” I’m not exactly sure what they plan on using these robots, but it was quite alarming.
Neuralink, which is a microchip that is implanted in the brain, (like a computer processor) will have the ability to tap into thoughts and dreams of other people. Currently, it has the capability to move objects with utilizing brain activity by paraplegics.
This modern technology is currently in its infancy, developmental and experimental stages, however once this modern technology is perfected, they will provide access to the public to receive a microchip by an outpatient procedure to implant the device in your brain.
Eventually this will lead to not having any use for cell phones, laptops or tablets. This sci-fi development is the merging of anatomy with technology in a Frankenstein-like experiment.
Although it’s unclear how all these changes will unfold, we can stand on what the Word of God has prophesied about the last days which is knocking on our front door in this hour.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:16-18
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. Deut 11:18
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: Prov 3:3

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:2
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Hab 2:2
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: 6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth forever: 7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners Psalm 146:3-7
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corth 4:18
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. Eph 4:31-32
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. Matt 12:25
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. but if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. James 3:13-17
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matt 6:25-35
