TAKEAWAYSThe Bible says that every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus as Savior is not a spirit that comes from God (1 John 4:3)Be informed, NOT fearful, even when it comes to AIThe moment you move into fear is the moment you stop understandingUse technology to spread truth, not to escape reality

TAKEAWAYSThere is a notion being pushed by many that AI will be a great supplement to human teachersAI is being used right now as a form of friend, companion, and even lover for many usersAI will likely become a necessary component of society that will force people to use itAI systems often “hallucinate,” which means they simply make things up and usually the content is not based on scripture or truth

TAKEAWAYSTranshumanism is the inevitable result of blending man and machineMan's sinful nature will eventually corrupt even the best intentions when it comes to AIMuch of the data being accumulated and stored by AI will be fed to the federal governmentAI may be the missing puzzle piece globalists need to unite all the nations into the one world government

TAKEAWAYSModern culture encourages us to indulge in everything we want all the timeThree areas of fleshly appetite to sacrifice during a fast: physical, sexual, and spiritualIf fasting is not part of your spiritual ministry, your work is not as effective as it could beYour spiritual life will grow if you incorporate fasting into your routine

TAKEAWAYSFasting is one of the weapons of our warfare that helps us in a number of waysJesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, and He abstained from foodThere is power in Christian unity - especially regarding fasting in a time where everyone is divided about somethingK. Sheldon makes an interesting claim concerning The Daniel Fast and how it differs from The Jesus Fast

TAKEAWAYSFasting is one way to accelerate spiritual intimacy with GodDon't pressure yourself to do fasting any one particular way - do what the Holy Spirit is asking you to doFind a community of other like-minded Christians who are interested in fasting togetherThe enemy does not like Christians to fast because it is a powerful tool of spiritual connection with the Holy Spirit

TAKEAWAYSThe enemy doesn't want Christians to fast because it can lead to incredible breakthroughsIf you can say no to food, you can say no to other thingsSay yes to God and see transformation in your lifeFasting is trendy in modern culture, but there's a big difference between physical and spiritual fasting

TAKEAWAYSFasting allows Christians to focus on CHRIST rather than their desiresCaffeine overstimulates the central nervous systemThe more you're filled with the Holy Spirit, the easier it will be to push discouragement out of your lifeWe can't be disobedient in stewarding our health and expect physical miracles at the same time

TAKEAWAYSGood Fruits of the Spirit and righteous desire can descend to sin if we make bad choicesYou must be truthful with yourself to identify your desires and whether you're pursuing them righteouslyPleasure, pursued in the light of the Holy Spirit, can be amazing and edifyingSalvation isn't fire insurance, it's a lifestyle

TAKEAWAYSUnderstanding who God is and His purpose for man sets the foundation for a rooted lifeEmbrace the gifts God has given you and do it for His glory, not your ownIf you want to live life to the fullest, you must acknowledge the existence of God and His planWhat is God asking you to do TODAY?

TAKEAWAYSWe tend to separate, or fragment, godly from ungodly things or spiritual vocations apart from supposed spiritual onesIf we would just do what God has called us to do, we would discover what a seamless life looks likeWe should be praying for the hardworking, everyday laborer, not just praying for the ministry employeesLet's take every Christian seriously and pray for them in their everyday toil to work, provide, and bring glory to God

TAKEAWAYSWhen the antichrist comes on the scene, he'll be given the keys to the global kingdom and Ken believes the antichrist is alive todayThere is a coming financial collapse that will be necessary to usher in the End TimesInvest in hard assets - like gold - to protect yourself and transfer your funds from the big banks to a local credit unionKlaus Schwab, the son of former Nazi Eugen Schwab, of the World Economic Forum is continuing the evil agenda of Adolf Hitler

TAKEAWAYSDon't live in shame and guilt - know that if you ask the Lord for forgiveness, He will forgive youDon't let your past failures or decisions define who you areOur past mistakes can be used as an excuse to avoid doing what God is calling us to do, when our trauma is actually our testimonyCheck out Kate's parenting guide, Growing Great Kids: Partner With God to Cultivate His Purpose In Your Child's Life

TAKEAWAYSThe virtue of gratitude can open many doors in life, and we must work to express gratitude more oftenThe three phrases Rod discusses are: “Thank you. I'm Sorry. Tell Me More.”Rod encourages Christians to “embody a way of being” rather than simply talking about actionConnect with your neighbor and show them Christ's love

TAKEAWAYSJesus does not have an anxious or a frantic voice, nor did He make rash frantic decisionsPray about the things that give you anxiety and ask God to give you clear directionIn peace, you have access to your fully functioning brain rather than one that is addled with worry and over-stimulationInstead of living life constantly doing things to prove your identity, know your identity in Christ and express it freely with no pressure

TAKEAWAYSMedically, the effects of electromagnetic radiation should interest doctorsPeople must speak out against the encroaching wireless tech being installed everywhereTypical symptoms of EMR exposure include difficulty sleeping, thinking, focusing, and nosebleedsOur homes are full of wireless technology - cut down on the digital devices through choosing wired tech gadgets as much as possible

TAKEAWAYSLearn to recognize the signs of dangerous dreaming so that you can wage a spiritual battle against it in the morningMeditate on things that are excellent and praiseworthy, as the Bible commands (Phil. 4:8)When we are longing for something that is not ours, we're just shaking our fist at GodVR tech is designed to keep kids in an altered state of consciousness and get them hooked - opening the demonic realm

TAKEAWAYSLucid dreaming is something the New Age movement has promoted as a good thing, but it can be very dangerousDemonic forces often lurk in the shadows during our most vulnerable stateWhen we sleep, our prefrontal cortex gets the rest it needs so that we can get a break from daily decision-makingBe on the lookout for witchcraft content on social media, which teaches children damaging New Age demonic practices

TAKEAWAYSIf someone in the household is engaged in sinful behavior, it can leave vulnerable members of the home open to spiritual attackWe tend to ignore our kids when they tell us about their scary visions and nightmares, but we should pay close attention to every wordWhen you give dark spiritual entities access to your home, they are free to cross over that thresholdJust because we don't understand covenants today doesn't mean they are not important or aren't relevant

TAKEAWAYSChristians who have made Jehovah their dwelling place will be safe with Him no matter what demonic attack transpiresChristians have someone who is their bridegroom (Jesus) and someone who says he is but is not (Satan)Sleep paralysis often transpires due to trauma, which inadvertently leaves the door open to spiritual attackPeople can't stop sleep paralysis until they address the underlying cause

TAKEAWAYSAbortion has many lifelong physical and mental effects that abortion providers refuse to warn you aboutThe Word of God is very clear about the identity and personhood of each human being (Psalm 139:13)Unforgiveness toward oneself is a core struggle women face in the aftermath of an abortionThe grace of God can wash anyone clean and heal all the pain and guilt of past sin

TAKEAWAYSPassionLife Ministries focuses on training Christian leaders worldwide to train their flock to encourage mothers to choose lifePregnancy and abortion is a complex emotional issue that PassionLife Ministries narrows down to four critical questionsThe first two questions: What does the Bible say about life in the womb? What does the Bible say about shedding innocent blood?The second two questions: How can we experience God's forgiveness? What has God called us to do to STOP abortion?

TAKEAWAYSRealOptions is not here to judge women - it's here to help themWe need a message that is woman-focused and not baby-focused for frightened women who need facts to make an informed decisionThe abortion pill can be reversed in many cases if it is addressed early enoughWe are not meant to live our lives in denial

TAKEAWAYSMelissa's book, Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence, offers many stories about others who have survived an assault in the wombNot many people know how often the abortion pill fails and results in a full-term baby, nor the potential risks including deathThe term pro-choice is a mask for a movement that is pro-deathChallenge people to think about the truth and the effects of abortion, you might be saving a life

TAKEAWAYSAll human beings are sacred and made in the image of God, giving each life inherent valueGlobalists believe it is their task to protect humanity from itself by managing the population and killing whom they deem unworthyThe medical industry is supposed to protect the patient and preserve life, not harm or destroy itWhen the medical system uses its power to destroy lives, it undermines public trust

TAKEAWAYSBehavioral regression in children and teens can be a sign of traumaNot all misbehavior is bad behavior, it often tells us that something is going on with our childrenYounger children exhibit more reactive behavior, and older children tend to withdraw or lash out sociallyLet your children have those special and important moments where they can be honest with you and unburden themselves

TAKEAWAYSAn example of destructive behavior is allowing damaging thoughts to sit and fester in your mindSometimes, when we talk about our problems too much, Satan is there to play on those fearsSome people are afraid of failure, and hence they are afraid to take risksThe Bible teaches us that it is good to think positively and to focus our thoughts on positive and uplifting things

TAKEAWAYSIf your child is hesitant to talk to you about trauma, see if they'll be willing to chat with you during a long car rideEverybody is going through trauma - don't let the enemy tell you that you are the only oneTrauma ultimately changes each individual person if left untreatedMany people seek worldly answers to trauma-based problems, rather than seeking God's help
