Speaker A

Today, the topic that we want to discuss and share with is related, of course, to our faith and also to the times that we live in. So, the influence of artificial intelligence on the future of mankind from the perspective of biblical prophecy.

Speaker A

prophecy the Lord Jesus in the gospels says the heavens and the Earth might fade away but the law of the Lord the word of the Lord will stand firmness and so today as technology advances we have no choice but to believe that the

Speaker A

The Lord Jesus in the gospels says the heavens and the earth might fade away, but the law of the Lord, the word of the Lord, will stand firm. And so today, as technology advances, we have no choice but to believe that the Bible is the word of God. This is a fact that you have to admit to, whether you are a Christian or not. In the Psalms, it says that God sees a thousand days, a thousand years as one day, and a day as a thousand years. In other words, God accomplishes His will among mankind in a non-linear fashion. Something might not have happened for a thousand years, and then, in contrast, sometimes within a day, a lot of things happen—more than the accumulation of the past thousand years.

Speaker A

day and a day as a thousand years in other words God accomplishes his will among Mankind in a non-linear fashion something might not have happened for a thousand years and then you know in contrast sometimes uh you know within a day a lot of things

Speaker A

For example, 1948 was a very key year because 1948 was just shortly after the end of World War II. A country, a nation of Israel, was rebuilt in 1948. And so the rebuilding of Israel really restarted the prophetic calendar of the Bible, accelerated it. The Bible prophesies in multiple places, on multiple occasions, that Israel will return to the Palestinian area and rebuild their nation to the transistor. Another great thing that happened in the year 1948 is we invented transistors. Transistors, and of course, whatever artificial intelligence we know, the hardware is based on computers based on transistors.

Speaker A

uh in 1948. and so the rebuilding of Israel really restarted the prophetic calendar of the of the Bible uh you know accelerated it is the Bible prophesies in multiple places multiple occasions that Israel will return to the Palestinian area and

Speaker A

So since 1948, since the invention of transistors, human civilization technology has been advancing very rapidly. In 1948, we also had the revival of the Roman Empire. And so since 1948, you realize the whole platform of human history, whether it's from civilization or the restructuring of countries, we're on a completely different platform now. In 1948, those scientists, physicists who had invented the transistor eventually received a Nobel Prize in physics.

Speaker A

computers based on transistors so since 1948 since the invention of transistors uh human civilization technology has been advancing very rapidly Roman Empire in 1948 we also had the Revival of the Roman Empire and so since 1948 you you realize uh the

Speaker A

Billions and billions of transistors, whether it be your cell phone, your computers that you use at home, or any sort of electronic devices, billions and billions of transistors within them. That's it. [Music]

Speaker A

billions and billions of transistors and whether it be your cell phone your computers that you use at home any sort of electronic devices billions and billions of transistors within them that's it [Music] and in Matthew chapter 24 as well as

Speaker A

And in Matthew chapter 24, as well as Luke chapter 21, the Lord Jesus Christ kind of describes the scene of the end times of the world. If you recall, the Lord Jesus says Israel will be revived, but then there will be people against people, nation against nation, and there will be rumors of war, earthquakes, famine, and pestilence. Indeed, all these things that are described in Matthew chapter 24 are occurring right before our eyes.

Speaker A

Nation against nation and there will be rumors of war and earthquakes and famine and pestilence and indeed all these things that are described in Matthew chapter 24 are occurring right before our eyes the Lord Jesus especially mentioned this

Speaker A

The Lord Jesus especially mentioned this. He says, "This generation will yet pass away, and then all of these things will have already been accomplished." Look at this generation. So in the original text, this generation is a singular one generation. This one generation will not have yet passed away. Sometimes in the Chinese language, when we write nouns, it could be singular or plural—that's the Chinese language. But in most Western languages, Latin-based languages, singular and plural are very clear; there's a clear distinction in words.

Speaker A

passed away um sometimes in the Chinese language when we write nouns uh you know it could be singular it could be plural that's the Chinese language but in most western languages Latin based languages singular plural it's it's very clear there's a clear

Speaker A

The Lord Jesus is saying this one generation will not have yet passed away, and then all of these things will already be accomplished. Let's look at this one generation. Which generation is that one generation? Generation after generation have passed away. So generations after generations, since the Lord's time, many generations have passed away. Two generations follow each other in succession. This generation—that's a generation of which specific generation or which one generation is the Lord Jesus talking about? Generations, the generation.

Speaker A

away so Generations uh after Generations right you know since the Lord's time many generations have passed away to Generations follow each other situations this generation that's a generation of which specific generation or which one generation is Lord Jesus talking

Speaker A

So if you look at the context of Matthew, especially chapter 24, you'll realize the Lord Jesus is talking about that generation who sees before their eyes all of these things described in Matthew 24 occurring. No matter if we are, says the Lord in chapter 24, if you see the fig tree sprout leaves, you'll know that the summer is near and it's right at the door. In the book of Hosea, we know the fig tree is used figuratively to refer to Israel. So the nation or the generation that sees the revival, the renewal of the nation of Israel, is the generation that the Lord Jesus is referring to.

Speaker A

no matter if we are says and the Lord in chapter 24 if you see the fake fig tree you know Sprout leaves you'll know that the summer is near and it's right at the door um and in the book of Hosea we know the fig

Speaker A

Isaac Newton, we know, was a physicist by the name of Isaac Newton. He wrote more on theology actually than on physics. The theology 2020, 2030. I said, well, about the return. So Isaac Newton wrote in his books on theology, he predicted the year 2030 for the return of Christ's generation.

Speaker A

Isaac Newton we know there's a physicist by the name of Isaac Newton he wrote uh more on theology actually than on physics the theology 2020 2030. I said uh well about the return oh so Isaac Newton wrote in his

Speaker A

So then the question might be, how long is a generation? How many years or how many sub-generations count within one generation? There are some very important hints from the Bible. The Lord Jesus gives us this hint: as the days of Noah were, so shall be the days of the Son of Man. What kind of thing? A lot of things that are described in the days of Noah.

Speaker A

generation there are some very important hints from the Bible the Lord Jesus gives us this hint right uh as the days of Noah was the days of the son of man shall be what kind of thing a lot of you know things that are

Speaker A

Noah's great-grandfather is Methuselah. He lived to the age of 969. It was the longest living human being. And why did Methuselah live for such a long time? The year that he died was the year of the flood. God wanted all mankind to be saved and not one to fall out. In the original Hebrew text, it means on the day he dies, on the year he dies, something great will happen.

Speaker A

long time on the year that he died was the year of the flood God wanted all all mankind to be saved and not one to fall out in the original Hebrew text means on the day he dies on the year he dies

Speaker A

So from the example of Methuselah, we can infer that what the Lord Jesus is saying is the oldest believer who sees all of these things happen before his or her eyes as described in Matthew 24. I see it. And so we can properly expect that the return of our Lord Jesus Christ might be within the century. But then the Lord does say, of course, that that day, at that particular hour, no one knows. But the Bible does very clearly describe the season during which the return occurs.

Speaker A

Matthew 24. I see it is and so we can you know properly expect that the return of Lord our Lord Jesus Christ might be within the century but then the Lord does say of course uh that that day at that particular hour no

Speaker A

I'm into that because if you count from 1948, if a person lives 90, 100, 120 years old, well then, you know, the return will happen in the next few years, really. So indeed, the return of Christ is imminent. There is not one generation prior to ours that has seen the fulfillment of biblical prophecies so rapidly.

Speaker A

the next few years really um so indeed the return of Christ is imminent there is not one generation prior two hours that has seen the Fulfillment of biblical processes uh prophecies so rapidly so you know among from from among all of

Speaker A

So among all of the advances of our civilization, all the restructuring, what is it that God wants to get out of us? So let's define this word right. What do we mean when we say advances, advancement? So let's look at [Music]

Speaker A

first John chapter one [Music] look at verse three women we Proclaim to you what we have seen and heard and so that you also may have fellowship with us and our fellowship is with the father and with the son Jesus

Speaker A

First John chapter one. [Music] Look at verse three: "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son, Jesus Christ." And our campus fellowship has studied the Bible, and you know, this particular verse this past Friday.

Speaker A

most frequent type we call it transactions transactional connections a transaction a trade for example today for lunch you decided to go have a burger you're not going to you know go go raise a cow and then go rate you know plant

Speaker A

So fellowship, right? There are four different stages or four different aspects to it. Foreign types of connections: transaction, the most common type, the most frequent type. We call it transactional connections. A transaction, a trade, for example, today for lunch you decided to go have a burger. You're not going to go raise a cow and then go plant some wheat, cheese, and once the cow is raised, you milk it to make cheese, and then you kill it, you slaughter the cow to make beef. You don't need a handball, so 200,000. And well, if you do that, that burger is going to cost you two hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker A

to cost you two hundred thousand dollars transactions so this is this is very shallow the surface level of connection but it's very frequent right transactional Central Market transaction so if you take a uber if you go to HEB for your grocery shopping

Speaker A

Transactions, so this is very shallow, the surface level of connection, but it's very frequent, right? Transactional, central market transaction. So if you take an Uber, if you go to HEB for your grocery shopping, wherever you go, if you purchase things, sell things, you're making a transaction. Well, this is the most shallow way in whi...

Speaker A

in other words conversation there's a conversation there's a interaction there's an exchange of ideology and thoughts so if you know you're going out and you're out and about you're communicating with others you're going to work you're communicating with your

Speaker A

co-workers ideas exchanges that's communication of course that's also very frequent but this Communications well then one level deeper than communication it turns into collaboration your co-working you're collaborating towards a goal collaborations collaborations so the third type of course

Speaker A

collaboration among the home between husband and wife between co-workers of course there's collaboration you're co-working together towards something hello Apostle John says here we Proclaim to you what we have seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us and our

Speaker A

fellowship is with the father and with the son Jesus Christ this Fellowship attorney so this Fellowship here right is a connection a connection between heart and heart this talks about a a Oneness right a unity in turn in your values

Speaker A

of course also your value system being in Oneness and unity with the Holiness that is proclaimed in the Bible what is the gospel transactions the gospel is intended of course and you know part of it is to raise us up from

Speaker A

transactional connections to communion so why is it then that Jesus the Jesus our lord Jesus upon entering Jerusalem kicked out all of the uh sellers of you know the the birds and the Lambs from the temple you wish

Speaker A

God wants to have a communion type of fellowship and connection with us and but because of our selfishness because of the issue of sin we are trying to turn that relationship into a transactional relationship that is that is why we need to be aligned with

Speaker A

us because fundamentally what we're trying to achieve is to have a heart-to-heart connection a communion and that is the reason why the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross and that is what we are trying to accomplish as

Speaker A

we live here on Earth in human society and so what is advancement to have advancement means we have more communion with god with god with each other with each other that is advancements oftentimes you'll discover what we think

Speaker A

what humans think as advancement is actually uh you know falling back we are living in bigger and bigger houses we are driving better and better cars we are eating better and better food and we are wearing better and better

Speaker A

clothing name brands designer Brands transaction doesn't mean but brothers and sisters if our lives are turning into more and more a transactional life is that an advancement or are you falling back wow you are so great from assistive

Speaker A

value system of the world the world might cheer you on and say wow you're doing so great but the Lord Jesus reminds us if you earn the whole world but you lose your soul life what can you use to exchange

Speaker A

for that so what is advancement advancement is the more we have a relationship of communion with God and with your fellow brothers and sisters early on uh here in Austin we had a campus Fellowship it was before we built

Speaker A

this church building and a lot of uh you know students who are from mainland China they ask this question after we have our gathering what benefits will it be will accrue to me if I believe in Jesus what benefits will there be if I believe

Speaker A

in Jesus if we grow up in a materialistic thought process thought systems our relationships are all transactional ity so what is advancement brothers and sisters so some people they may earn more and more money I don't envy that person or those people

Speaker A

at all because their lives are not much different you know compared to animals animals are making transactional lives true advancements a person living as a human a person living as a man being created from the image of God

Speaker A

so we have a deep desire within our hearts and God has this desire right which is so that mankind can advance and enter into a relationship of [Music] so of course brother and sisters God might allow you and give you the grace

Speaker A

to be able to live you're a greater and greater salary and of course God might give you very generous Returns on your Investments but brothers and sisters are we entering into a true relationship of communities are we entering into a true relationship

Speaker A

a communion with our fellow brothers and sisters this brothers and sisters is a warning a cautionary tale brought about by artificial intelligence transactions the gospel is to try to advance us from a transactional connections to communion Jesus but in contracts in contrast artificial

Speaker A

intelligence is trying to do the reverse bring us down from communion back to transactional relationships you have to realize you're conversing with a machine if you feel as if the machine has emotions well you're you you just got

Speaker A

one consider it though you think oh you know this AI is so considerate mentality but you know that that considerateness comes out of a transactional mentality brothers and sisters I'll tell you technology is neutral in and of itself I

Speaker A

mean I'm into that the technology technology has no soul humans have souls so technology so if technology is used for good it brings about good Technologies if technology is used by a group of Sinners unrepentant it brings about disaster for humankind

Speaker A

so brothers and sisters this is dangerous times that we live in in this world artificial intelligence right seemingly has a lot of the advantages of humans and not a lot of the disadvantages oftentimes we for we are forgetful right

Speaker A

last time I went to some place and I parked my car yeah yeah Pig you're paid so your credit card I'll pay and so you know the the parking is it's not free so I was paying for it with my credit card

Speaker A

and I entered my you know the parking times about credit card by Gucci and I put in my credit card to the parking meter and it just doesn't work it's not working for something and I'm I'm looking at it I'm like what's going on

Speaker A

and I reached my hand out and it says oh there's something stuck in it and I it's my other credit card so sometimes you get so busy you you forget something that you've done just 30 seconds ago you know artificial intelligence is not

Speaker A

going to have those kind of faults right you know there it's their capacity for memory and storage is much much larger feedback very compassionate so if you know the artificial intelligence you're having a conversation he gives you some some

Speaker A

feedback or response that seems very compassionate don't be fooled how does the bible describe let's look at a few more questions and today we are looking at uh you know biblical past passing by two Saints uh the Apostle John during his old age he

Speaker A

was exiled on an island and the heavens opened and he wrote a lot of things down um and then let's look at the Book of Daniel verse 4 but you Daniel roll up and seal the words of the squirrel until the time

Speaker A

of the end many will go here and there to increase knowledge seal up the words and roll up the Scrolls until the end times many will go here and there and of course some Chinese translations translate this phrase you know here and

Speaker A

there as spend time and spend efforts to do research to study to increase knowledge so since 1948 right they accumulate the accumulation of knowledge among humankind has been greater you know 10 times greater 100 times greater than the

Speaker A

past well since the beginning of History so you know very clearly we live in this generation as described by Daniel um and we in the Natural Sciences we know this thing called Morris law Independence so you know in the semiconductor

Speaker A

industry we say you know every 18 months the number of transistors in a device will double saturated and you know today we are seeing Morris law you know not being kept as being saturated the growth rate of AI right is faster

Speaker A

even than Moore's Law so many will go here and there to increase knowledge effort so this is a corporate effort right many uh so many will try to increase now these high-tech companies and you know 10 years ago 20 years ago

Speaker A

you've never you could never imagine right that the uh the Encyclopedia Britannica will become useless you know I still have you know the encyclopedia in my house and I you know at the time I feel like you know why am I buying this right

Speaker A

today is Just Junk basically right well if you if you throw it away it's like you know I kind of still want to keep it but then if you keep it it's taking a lot of room and you're not using it

Speaker A

15 years ago could you have imagined that the Encyclopedia Britannica will become a pile of junk Google [Music] and if you you know if you need an answer on something you just search it up on Google Search and I'm using Ai and

Speaker A

it's more advanced and more clearer and more complete and more comprehensive than the encyclopedia well then 15 years from now what kind of world will we be so we are reminded once again brothers and sisters that the return of our Lord

Speaker A

Jesus Christ is near um the Apostle Paul as we've mentioned the Apostle John as we mentioned in the year 95 95 A.D he was exiled and onto an island in the Mediterranean in the Greek area and on one particular Sunday the heavens

Speaker A

opened up see the truth and so the Apostle John says I am your brother John right and I suffer together with you and in the Lord the heavens opened song so God showed the Apostle John his blueprint for the entire human history

Speaker A

and since that moment until the very end Revelations the new heavens and the new Earth and he wrote those down and of course in the days of the Apostle John of course he's not aware of the fact that there's going to be something

Speaker A

invented called computers but a lot of things that the Apostle John wrote down um we are not clear on what they mean until today and of course uh from chapter 3 and chapter four is the letters to the seven

Speaker A

churches and then the seven Trumpets the Seven Seals the seven bowls but then all of these writings right well it refers to something that happened in heaven some some great event had occurred in heaven sentencer Communications attention which was in Revelations chapter 12

Speaker A

right Satan leading a third of the Angels who have betrayed God uh making battle making war against the two-thirds who remained loyal to God so the angel of Satan the angel of uh Michael uh the angels of Satan and the angels of

Speaker A

the Archangel Michael making war against each other and of course it says Satan and his one-third of the evil angels fall down from heaven what does the Bible says [Music] it says all the heavens and the skies and all who live in them Rejoice

Speaker A

but the earth and the oceans uh shall weep because Satan knows that his days are numbered so he you know was angered and he's going to you to you so dear brothers and sisters we pray of course for peace in the world

Speaker A

that is a right thing to pray for now but as uh children of God we have to realize you know undoubtedly this world will become more and more chaotic and so then in chapter 12 uh if Revelations Satan was cast out and then

Speaker A

we go into chapter 13. and chapter 13 talks about a fake uh Trinity basically but you know we have a limited amount of time so we won't read all these verses but let me summarize it for you the fake

Speaker A

Trinity [Music] way and Satan is trying to uh you know prop himself up as the father of the Trinity and then the Antichrist uh you know props itself up to replace Christ and false prophets replaces the place of

Speaker A

the Holy Spirit and so in the first part of Revelation chapter three uh chapter 13 it talks about the dragon which is Satan and then two beasts right one of the beasts being the Antichrist the other Beast being

Speaker A

false prophets let's take a look at this passage verses 11 through 18 of Revelation chapter 13.

Speaker A

and so as we read these verses let's reflect and be reminded of of the fact that you know these occurrences are going to happen pretty soon right before our eyes foreign Buddha foreign foreign so the appearance of that first Beast

Speaker A

the Antichrist he had that Beast had received a fatal wound a mortal wound s you know only God can raise the dead Justice Satan does not have the ability to raise the dead amen because God is the only source of

Speaker A

Life the only fountains so then it says here Satan had received a mortal wounded a lot of different biblical Scholars have different interpretations well this is you know it refers to a you know a fact that is going to happen

Speaker A

and after that a craven image was raised for uh the this Antichrist intelligence and that and that that's immature that that statute has Intelligence it's actually able to converse and that conversation must be a very brilliant conversation at processing

Speaker A

right yeah because later on says a lot of the inhabitants of Earth a lot of people on Earth worship the Beast Titans are super intentional intelligent well that must mean the Beast is very intelligent woman again I want to remind all of us uh

Speaker A

artificial intelligence technology in and of themselves are neutral it can be used for good or can be used for evil of course it is our hope and our prayer that all technology can be used for the good of uh the Believers

Speaker A

uh free pandemic uh you know we hold special conferences uh here at church and sometimes we have you know up to 400 people come attend it's not like um uh but during the pandemic we held our conferences right our Southern

Speaker A

conferences online and we had up to 4 000 attempt and that's a limit so of course as you can see right we took advantage of Technology the availability of Technologies to serve more people to more more Sons and

Speaker A

Daughters of God so here we're not trying to preach a message that's anti-technology technology again I emphasize is neutral well the technology can be used by the dominions of Darkness to hold you know have power over mankind and so here when we you know look at

Speaker A

Revelations we look at these end times it shows a a Unity between fallen angels and Fallen man and so the technology that is the output of the Fallen Angels collaborating with follow man uh you know this technology twists the truth

Speaker A

it's a good so when it's being held by uh Sinners eventually what's produced is a statue right an artificial intelligence that's used for sin a tool for sin and of course as Sons and Daughters of God this is something that we ought to

Speaker A

watch out for um and so we asked the Lord to help us to you know try to minimize our use of artificial intelligence brothers and sisters again we ask what is advancement so iPhone 1. iPhone 14 but it's not an iPhone 15 to that iPhone

Speaker A

you know iPhones right iPhone one up to iPhone 14 it's been Generations after Generations the iPhone 15 is about to be released if you've had if you've been safe for you know 10 years 20 years you know what's what's your relationship with God

Speaker A

like right what's your relationship like with your iPhone which one is closer to communion so this is a important reminder from our Lord right any sort of Technology products devices ought to be used to help us enter into a

Speaker A

communion relationships say this is those next to you technology should be used to help you enter into a communion with God [Music] thirst for God's presence this is a key goal for God why God has waited two you know two thousand plus

Speaker A

years that he is waiting for a group of people uh after you know having made the choice through their Free Will who are willing to enter into a relationship of communion women that is what the Apostle John means when

Speaker A

he says we are in fellowship with you we are in fellowship with the father and his son Jesus Christ [Music] especially for our next Generation sometimes you know I chat with our youth our young people after our our gathering

Speaker A

most of the time what are they doing they're not even they don't even make eye contact with me just take their either iPhone or Android they're you know they have their smartphones in their hands you know as as youngsters we you know

Speaker A

try to respect our elders you know at least make eye contact right [Music] most of these youths don't have eye contact with me yes I'm fine I'm good yeah that's okay it's a little bit boring but okay brothers and sisters

Speaker A

in our next generation is living in dangerous times unknowingly they have entered into the context of you know the Beast the Craven image they're not having interactions they're not having communion with God you're not having fellowship with uh

Speaker A

and I'm not talking about the minority here this is the majority it's a warning sign this is a warning sign more than 10 years ago I had a mission trip to Kenya yeah and I was serving in a church in Kenya

Speaker A

Gomez you know of course Kenya right they're materialistic uh advancements are not even on the same degree of magnitude as us on that Sunday I was serving in church I was you know speaking [Music] [Music] a housemate with steel walls

Speaker A

and a very thin layer of metal and there's holes on the roof [Music] and I was speaking in their church and looking at their church building I was looking at the roof and the holes and I was thinking well if it rains do they

Speaker A

just continue you know my time serving in Kenya shook me to my core right for my whole life and what is it the smiles and the joy that I see on their faces in Africa is something that I've never seen in North America

Speaker A

and they smile and they laugh for a long time you know it's just very Grand and wow in our capitalistic Society we say you're laughing like a fool and I see their smiling faces it's brilliant it's sweet it's and it's

Speaker A

lasting it's so lasting I still I can still recall it in my mind the image the moment I returned to North America that's gone [Music] you know at the end of my mission strip I go to the capital of Kenya to take

Speaker A

care take a flight back to America and then there in the airport I asked the Lord this question and ask the Lord is it is the U.S necessarily better than Africa is Africa might actually be better so brother and

Speaker A

sisters again the question what is advancement what is advancement many of us seated here our first generation immigrants in 1982 when I moved to the U.S uh and all of my belongings were just in two very small luggages

Speaker A

of course over the years I've been blessed by God and you know my my life my living is you know very wealthy I have a lot of assets foreign but this morning as I Was preparing uh you know for the sermon my prayer to God

Speaker A

was this right Lord help me to have a communion relationship with you help me to search for that relationship our prayer is that if you have children may it be the case that they enter into a communion relationship with you and

Speaker A

with God you know you you it seems to be a very natural process uh you know the civilization is advancing and in the context of the beasts so if you try to Discipline Your Child right you know they're misbehaving

Speaker A

you're disciplining them and you're saying you're going to miss out on one meal they're like ah it's nothing and if you say you're going to miss out on your opportunity to use your cell phone well that's that's going to be big

Speaker A

so what is the advancement brothers and sisters by the same token is our church advancing or regressing communion are you here in church to make a transaction are you here to have communion so brothers and sisters we have a communion relationship with

Speaker A

you heart to Hearts of course here you know it refers to the Oneness in Holiness Oneness under God's law Oneness in your value system we have to rise up and make battle with for ourselves for our own sakes and for

Speaker A

our next Generation when you speak to your children ask them to not look at their cell phones their eyes should be focused on you eye contact I'm in I'm into that brother husband and wife same thing if you're speaking to your spouse let it

Speaker A

not be the case as she's looking at her cell phone and let it not be the case of the wife is speaking to the husband you know you look at the news on the cell phone transaction a booster Community our

Speaker A

relationships it's turning into transactions it's that's not communion let's finish by reading this thing diverse the book of Jude chapter one verse uh let's let's all try to memorize these verses but you beloved building yourselves up in your Most Holy Faith and praying in

Speaker A

the Holy Spirit keep yourselves in the love of God waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life foreign [Music] Chi so here when we say truth that is a pathway on which you have to walk to

Speaker A

embrace build yourself up in the most holy truth so brothers and sisters we have to read the word of God we have to listen to the word of God you know the artificial intelligence can be used okay can we use to generate a sermon right

Speaker A

you don't even have to speak uh [Music] priest oh this is a AI robot priest he knows how to give a sermon he knows how to respond to questions from Believers and he's able to comfort people [Music] so that that photo that we showed just

Speaker A

now on that slide that's that's a true picture that's from a church in Italy building yourself up in the most holy truth so read the word of God read it diligently you can use tools my brothers and sisters this Most Holy

Speaker A

truth right I meant to help us enter into this until you can send the communion it enters helps us enter into Community Building ourselves up in the most holy truths secondly praying in the Holy Spirit this is the biggest problem for us as

Speaker A

intellectuals because oftentimes we are praying with our intellect transactions when you're praying with your intellects oftentimes your prayer ends up being a transactional prayer not a communion prayer you're praying in the second Heavens not the third Heavens when you're praying with your intellect

Speaker A

with your knowledge and understanding you get tired out very easily though what do we mean when we say praying in the holy spirit that means your spirit and God's spirit are in communion you have entered into that communion relationship

Speaker A

you are conversing with God and of course he's speaking back there's just him that goes like this [Music] foreign it all what it does [Music] say Jesus [Music] so the lyrics say I am alone in the garden so a sister was you know in the garden

Speaker A

taking care of her flowers her plants all of a sudden the Holy Spirit came upon hero and God seeking in a low voice I belong to him you belongs to me you belong to me God says he says I belong to him

Speaker A

he and I I and him having such a close relationship in that Garden right there your stages she was able to tell how much joy I'm having that is praying in the Holy Spirit praying in the Holy Spirit brothers and

Speaker A

sisters as we draw close to the end times we need to know how to pray in the Holy Spirit if to this day you still don't know how to pray you have to call out to the Lord because as we go forward

Speaker A

say this is those next to you God knows but God talked to you through us through holy spirit so building yourself up in the most holy truth and praying in the Holy Spirit and thirdly protecting yourself in God's

Speaker A

love keeping yourself consistent being consistently in God's life how do you stay in God's love well build up a habit of repentance buildup of habit of aligning yourself with God's holiness you know this love thing right it's very

Speaker A

marvelous the more you give it the more you will have it and the less you're willing to give your children you'll feel that your love is going to dry up and it's not going to accumulate the Lord Jesus says to give is more

Speaker A

blessed than to received if you give you will be given to and it's like the heavens opened up and you will have uh overflowing blessings [Music] and lastly looking to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal

Speaker A

life looking up to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ last year when Pastor Anton had joined us um you know in private we had a conversation we asked them um what is what is the great things that

Speaker A

are going to happen next in human history because of the mercy of God he says the mercy of God mercy of God so we ask for the mercy of God Brothers this past week there's been earthquakes all over the

Speaker A

Earth aside from the earthquake well known in turkey and Syria there were earthquakes in China in Taiwan and in Japan as well and so we look up to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ may it be the case that as a big family

Speaker A

here the GCA church we are advancing and not regressing amen advancing yes communion we are more and more like a family we can have a heart-to-heart connection and communion with each other the first song that we sang for songs

Speaker A

Speaker A

chance to you know come meet the Lord while you're still living and lastly let's look at this verse and the Gospel of John chapter 11 when Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus and Jesus said I am the resurrection I

Speaker A

am life those who believe in me might have died but they will resurrect in the end live those who believe in me while living they will never die what does he mean when he when he says those who believe in me while still

Speaker A

living generation there is going to be one generation who lived to see The Return of Jesus who live to be lifted up into heaven directly if you look at all the prophecies in the Bible and if you kind of reflect upon

Speaker A

all the you know current events that are happening especially for the Young Generation of young people here with us today you definitely have a pretty good chance of being lifted into heaven while still living and if I'm you know being older but

Speaker A

living a healthy life I have a chance as well right Christ in US is glorious hope you're wrong a glorious hope and may this hope bring us into further advancement not regression
