Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes

“Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and plan deception all the day long." Psa 38:12

I feel the Lord wants me to issue a warning to everyone out there. There is coming a great deception. It is already here. I don't know how many of you have heard or read about the false abduction scheme the other day. I’ll briefly relate it here.

“Then a man gets on the line and claims he's kidnapped her 15-year-old daughter, Brie. He says: 'listen here, I have your daughter. You're not going to call anyone, you are not going to call the cops' - 'and I just, I put the phone on mute and started screaming for help,'" she tells inside edition. The kidnappers demand $1 million before reducing it to $50,000.

But here's the thing — her daughter had not been kidnapped and it was not her begging her mom for help. Her voice had been duplicated by a scammer using artificial intelligence. Even her own mother could not tell the difference. "'I did not for a second doubt her voice,' Brie's mom tells inside edition."

I don't know how many of you have been watching Tucker Carlson's interview with Elon Musk recently, but Elon is worried about artificial intelligence. He says it has the potential of civilizational destruction. I, for one, don't doubt it in the least.

In like manner, on America's Got Talent last year, a contestant on the show actually managed to reproduce actual video showing the four hosts singing and performing - doing something they had not actually done. But there it was for all to see - them actually appearing to sing and dance. Then they even managed to resurrect Elvis Presley for a "live" performance.

I know this daily might not appear on the surface to be spiritual and enlightening, but I feel the Lord wants me to bring it forth as a warning to all who would heed it. The deception is growing so strong in these times, one cannot believe what they are actually hearing with their ears or even seeing with their own eyes. Jesus warned us of these times. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ Do not believe it." Mark 13:21

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Matt 24:24 We cannot depend on our fleshly senses alone. The Holy Spirit and the written word must be our only guide in these terrible times. It is only those who are rooted and grounded in truth that can escape the deception coming - and believe me, it is coming in greater ways than we can even imagine.

One must be able to say - “I know, that I know, that I know. My Lord would not do that. my Lord would not say that.” "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own." John 10:14

I can still hear the voice of my friend and mentor, who started this ministry and just kind of drug me along with her. Those of you who have listened to me for awhile know that I never considered myself as anyone of significance; like I was just a passenger on the bus - not the driver or even a tour guide. Boy, did I decide to hitch a ride with the wrong person - or as God would say, "the right person." All I can say is we all grow into whatever God has purposed for us. The only options are to quit, to remain stagnate, or to go with the flow; the latter being the only fruitful response. We must all get in agreement with God.

Anyway, she used to say, “I know my Father's voice and anothers I will not follow." We too must now know our Father's voice just like she did. Know it and follow it. It is obedience and not sacrifice our Lord requires. It is obedience and strict adherence to the truth we know that will deliver us to a safe harbor and a full deliverance.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life." 1 John 1:1 Have you heard? Have you seen? Have you yet handled the Word of life for yourself? I would entice you to taste and see for yourself that the Lord is good.

Don't believe your lying eyes. Don't allow yourself to be deceived by our fleshly senses and comely desires which are subject to deception. Know your God and where you stand. “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." 2 Cor 11:14 To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Evil exists and it's desire is to rule over us. Stay tuned tomorrow for "the armor of God;" what it is, it's use, and how to apply it. He has not left us defenseless.
