SPEAKER_01: And uh I'm a little bit more emotional tonight than normal, not just because of the anointing, but we just got word uh uh this afternoon before we came that James Robinson passed away that he went to be with the Lord, and we knew James and Betty, and uh it just really I don't know.
SPEAKER_01: Uh I knew there was something going on because he hadn't been on his program for a couple of months, and I had our program director check and see if he could find out why, and nobody knew.
SPEAKER_01: They just said he'd been under the weather, and also the the girl that was with him all the time, Tammy Trent, she hadn't been on there either.
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what's going on there.
SPEAKER_01: And just seems like we've had so many of our friends uh depart this earth uh lately in Marilyn Hickey and and and and James and uh and we have some that are on their way.
SPEAKER_01: Uh they are literally believing to to go to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: They're they feel like their race is over, and uh that they have finished their course and and so uh they're moving on.
SPEAKER_01: And I know that should be a time of rejoicing.
SPEAKER_01: Paul told uh uh the church at Thessalonica, he said, you know, and he was speaking of the rapture though, he said, you know, if people uh are caught up to meet Jesus in the air, uh said, you you you should have no sorrow.
SPEAKER_01: You should have no sorrow if you're a believer.
SPEAKER_01: So we don't have any sorrow, we don't have any grief.
SPEAKER_01: But we're just a little bit sad though.
SPEAKER_01: We're not ready for them to go.
SPEAKER_01: We want them to stay.
SPEAKER_01: And uh but I I realize we're ending we're ending an era, we're ending a time, and they're gonna be those that are gonna go on to be with the Lord that may finish feel like they've finished their course and they fought the good fight, they're satisfied, and uh they're moving to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: And I guess I've had the privilege of knowing a lot of these people, and uh I remember I was asked about Ken Jr.
SPEAKER_01: to do his dad's funeral, uh his graveside service in Tulsa, uh Brother Hagen.
SPEAKER_01: And um I love Brother Hagen.
SPEAKER_01: He was he and I had the same birthday, not the same year, but the same date.
SPEAKER_01: And they asked me if I would read a letter at the funeral that Orl Roberts had written to him.
SPEAKER_01: And I said, yes, I will.
SPEAKER_01: And I was all composed and everything when I got up there, but when I started reading the letter, oh, here it came, and I didn't know whether I'd be able to get through with the letter because at the end of the letter that Orl praised his friend and fellow minister, Brother Hagin, he said, and Brother Hagin, he said, it won't be many days now until I be joining you.
SPEAKER_01: And he did.
SPEAKER_01: And I got to read that letter, and I was thinking to myself, all these people in heaven, they finished their course, they've run their race, and it seemed like that for a few years there, it was uh another load was going up.
SPEAKER_01: Uh we started with uh Billy J.
SPEAKER_01: Darty, he actually went to be with the Lord early, and and we knew Billy Joe and Sheeran well.
SPEAKER_01: And then the next one was T.L.
SPEAKER_01: and Daisy Osborne.
SPEAKER_01: We were at all of their funerals and Buddy Harrison and I preached his funeral and uh in Dufresne and asked me if I would preach his funeral.
SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking, I don't I don't want to be doing all these funerals, but I'm so thank you, sir, I'm so honored uh that I I was able uh to do these things and that I knew them, and then my friend Jerry Seville and and now Pat Harrison, she's gonna be going any day now, and she's just waiting for the Lord to come get her.
SPEAKER_01: And um Brother Copeland and I were always just there at every funeral.
SPEAKER_01: And so at the last one, I walked up to him and I said, Kenneth, we're gonna have to quit meeting like this.
SPEAKER_01: And he looked at me and he said, If you're gonna live to be 120, you're gonna attend a lot of these things.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I have no intentions of living to 120.
SPEAKER_01: I don't believe that scripture in Genesis is referring to age, where it says, uh God said, I'll give man 120 years.
SPEAKER_01: He was talking about to get his act together because of the sin outside, and he said, I'll give him 120 years to get right.
SPEAKER_01: So I'm not planning on uh being here at 120, but I do plan on living a long time.
SPEAKER_01: I've got uh a long life, uh the Bible said I could have it, and he would he would grant my wishes, and so I'm gonna hold him uh to that, but it's just hard to see because James and I were the exact same age.
SPEAKER_01: And uh uh even though we're you know edging further and further towards old age, I don't really feel that at all.
SPEAKER_01: And I know sometimes when I'm combing my hair, I'd and I'm thankful I got hair.
SPEAKER_01: Amen.
SPEAKER_01: And it's still basically the same color that it's always been, maybe a little lighter, but I'm beginning to see more daylight through there, you know.
SPEAKER_01: And so um I just, you know, am enjoying uh the harvest years of my life.
SPEAKER_01: I guess I'm rambling on saying, you know, I've I've been through one wave where uh all of the previous generation uh were gone, Brother Shembach, and I knew all these people and ministered with them and taught with them.
SPEAKER_01: They've been in my home and in our church and so forth.
SPEAKER_01: And now it just seems like let's I'm asking the Lord, let's let's put a quietus on this for a while.
SPEAKER_01: Let's just stop for a while, take a breather, and uh uh let everybody stay that's still here.
SPEAKER_01: Has nothing to do with my message tonight.
SPEAKER_01: How many of you ever know uh heard anything about AI?
SPEAKER_01: You know what AI is?
SPEAKER_01: Well, I I'm gonna minister a message to you tonight about AI.
SPEAKER_01: Um I was I was meditating uh on this the other day, and uh I I heard some commentators talking about AI.
SPEAKER_01: You can go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Proverbs chapter one, and they were talking about AI, and uh there's good news and bad news, and I also heard some uh prophecy teachers on VTN talk about uh the days are getting shorter and AI is coming on faster, and I think everybody pretty much agrees that AI is going to be part of the beast system that the Antichrist will use to control uh his subjects because it is void of humanity, it's void of human content.
SPEAKER_01: Even Elon Musk, when he was asked, interviewed, and about AI, he said, well, and this is not a professing believer.
SPEAKER_01: He has acknowledged that if somebody could prove to him that God exists, he would believe in God.
SPEAKER_01: But so far he he does not.
SPEAKER_01: But he said, There's one thing that I'm concerned about, AI.
SPEAKER_01: And they said, What is that?
SPEAKER_01: He said, I'm concerned about the absence of morality.
SPEAKER_01: Now that sounds kind of strange coming from a non-believer.
SPEAKER_01: But I think you'll see here tonight something that will help you.
SPEAKER_01: And I began to hear about all the educational problems we have in our country today.
SPEAKER_01: And you'll see in here that now schools and people that are in leadership positions in education are having to get laws passed, and schools are adopting these laws, that children cannot bring their cell phones into the classroom.
SPEAKER_01: And some of them are saying that they can only use them at home two or three hours a day.
SPEAKER_01: Parents are battling this because there is evidence, a small dab of evidence, that the uh equipment in these cell phones is habit forming, and that the manufacturers of these devices know it and they're using it to their advantage.
SPEAKER_01: Because when kids have too much screen time, they pick up things that they really don't need to see or hear or talk about.
SPEAKER_01: And it seems like it's consuming their life.
SPEAKER_01: I ran across a picture the other day, I wish I'd have saved it on my phone to show it to you, honey, but uh about television.
SPEAKER_01: I was looking up the history of television.
SPEAKER_01: Now, some of you don't know, the inventor of television as we know it was a young 18-19-year-old boy named Philo T.
SPEAKER_01: Farnsworth.
SPEAKER_01: He invented the first TV camera and transmitter, and uh, and it had all of the TV sets that were manufactured all the way from the 30s up until the current time.
SPEAKER_01: I saw my first TV set uh in 1953.
SPEAKER_01: Prior to that, we listened to the radio.
SPEAKER_01: And the set probably didn't have a screen on it any bigger than this.
SPEAKER_01: In fact, it was probably smaller.
SPEAKER_01: It was in a case like a radio, because our radio was part of the furniture in our homes.
SPEAKER_01: It was a big console set up like this.
SPEAKER_01: But this first TV, it was about this size with a screen in the middle of it.
SPEAKER_01: The screen was only about that big.
SPEAKER_01: And then it graduated all up into what we have now, these big jumbo throns, the smart TVs and all that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_01: And of course, it was all black and white, and there was no color until I think the 60s.
SPEAKER_01: But um we listened to the radio, but we more importantly listened to our parents and our grandparents.
SPEAKER_01: The scriptures in Proverbs, and we can start reading with verse 8, Proverbs 1.8.
SPEAKER_01: My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother.
SPEAKER_01: It goes on to say, um, for they, the instruction and the law of your parents, shall be an ornament of grace unto your head and chains about your neck.
SPEAKER_01: Not not chains like you would, you know, lock something up, but necklaces, chains, uh, beauty, they would they would enhance your life.
SPEAKER_01: And I think the quote, powers to be in education and so forth are just now beginning to realize that they've done the human race an injustice uh by replacing the family with machines and things that are distracting.
SPEAKER_01: Is that me?
SPEAKER_01: Uh-oh.
SPEAKER_01: You know, um some friends of ours.
SPEAKER_01: Well, let me just turn it off.
SPEAKER_01: Some friends of ours wrote a book, and they called the book Distractions.
SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna mute it here.
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
SPEAKER_01: They call it distractions, and they deal with all the things that are coming up now in the church viewfinder.
SPEAKER_01: Uh the book deals with uh giants, angels, monsters, aliens.
SPEAKER_01: In all these things, there is no relevancy, there is no reason for it to be commonplace or front place in your Bible.
SPEAKER_01: In fact, I liked what one fellow said.
SPEAKER_01: He said, you know, my Bible has sixty-six books in it.
SPEAKER_01: Not sixty-five, not sixty-seven, but sixty-five books.
SPEAKER_01: It has no book of Enoch, it has no book of Jasher, Josephus was a historian, but his book is not in the Bible.
SPEAKER_01: In other words, let's just stick to the Bible because a lot of the sources of these distractions, and people are getting off and arguing about it.
SPEAKER_01: Angels can't reproduce, so blah, blah, blah.
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, where did the giants come from?
SPEAKER_01: And even after the flood, there were giants again, and nobody really can answer it, so they they surmise and make statements about these things.
SPEAKER_01: And when you sum it all up, and most of it I've checked their sources out, most of it is Greek mythology and sci-fi.
SPEAKER_01: They they use uh what's the book we had to read in school, The Odyssey?
SPEAKER_01: They're using books like that to uh draw from.
SPEAKER_01: Um we their distractions, they're distracting us from the main commission that Jesus gave us, which was to preach the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ and his death, burial, and resurrection to the world.
SPEAKER_01: So things that take you off into these other areas are not really necessary for you to complete your assignment.
SPEAKER_01: Your basic testimony is one of the best things that you can share with any individual.
SPEAKER_01: I was lost, and now I'm saved.
SPEAKER_01: How'd you get that way?
SPEAKER_01: And then you start telling them about teach the basics that are in the scriptures.
SPEAKER_01: So AI, let me just let me give you a definition of it.
SPEAKER_01: And I have a bunch of stuff here that I got off the internet, which is AI.
SPEAKER_01: But this is this is mine.
SPEAKER_01: This is not AI.
SPEAKER_01: Because when it first came out, I asked the Lord about it.
SPEAKER_01: I may have ministered it here, I don't know, but I ministered it somewhere.
SPEAKER_01: Uh it was on uh Arkansas Island, probably.
SPEAKER_01: Artificial intelligence.
SPEAKER_01: Let's just take the two words artificial intelligence.
SPEAKER_01: The first thing you need to know about AI, artificial intelligence, is that it's artificial.
SPEAKER_01: Simple but profound.
SPEAKER_01: I like to cook, and I was making a cheesecake or something one day, and the recipe called for a tablespoon of vanilla.
SPEAKER_01: I ran out of vanilla, so I put it on my grocery list.
SPEAKER_01: And when I got to the grocery store, I looked up there at the shelf, and there's so many bottles of vanilla, all kinds of vanilla and stuff.
SPEAKER_01: So I started reading the labels.
SPEAKER_01: Most vanilla that you buy in most chained grocery stores like Kroger, etc., is artificial.
SPEAKER_01: It's not real.
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't come from the vanilla bean at all.
SPEAKER_01: It comes from a laboratory that's made with chemicals.
SPEAKER_01: If you want to taste real vanilla, then buy real vanilla because it's real and it comes from the vanilla bean.
SPEAKER_01: Buddy Harrison used to always talk about John the Baptist.
SPEAKER_01: He said, John the Baptist, you read about it, said he roamed around in the desert and he ate locust and wild honey.
SPEAKER_01: He said, I like honey.
SPEAKER_01: He said, I don't know about them locusts.
SPEAKER_01: And you think, John the Baptist, he's biting the head off of some locust or what does he want?
SPEAKER_01: Crunchy snacks?
SPEAKER_01: Well, if you go to Israel, you'll find out that the locusts is referring to a locust bean.
SPEAKER_01: And it looks a lot like a vanilla bean.
SPEAKER_01: In fact, when we first found out about it, we were standing there, and so we went over and we broke the bean off of the tree.
SPEAKER_01: Bean about that long and about that wide.
SPEAKER_01: And they said, now you want to find out what John the Baptist was eating?
SPEAKER_01: And you break it in half, and of course, if it gets, do it when it's ripe, you break it in half, and chocolate oozes out of the middle of it.
SPEAKER_01: And Buddy said, I knew it.
SPEAKER_01: John the Baptist had a sweet tooth.
SPEAKER_01: He liked vanilla beans and honey.
SPEAKER_01: So let's set all of the distractions aside.
SPEAKER_01: Now, here's the word intelligence, not real.
SPEAKER_01: Here's what AI stands for.
SPEAKER_01: It is a branch of computer science that builds systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.
SPEAKER_01: Notice, typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving, and understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Emphasize that word understanding because we're going to come back to it.
SPEAKER_01: The AI branch of computer science and any computer science manufacturing cannot manufacture or produce understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Only people can have understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Only the Holy Spirit can bring you understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Intelligence to understand, to learn, to deal with new or trying situations, and the skillful use of reason.
SPEAKER_01: Machines cannot reason, but humans can.
SPEAKER_01: People can, especially those that are born again and uh sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and we'll say more about that.
SPEAKER_01: So a computer science that builds systems that can perform tasks typically required human intelligence, learning, problem solving, and understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Now the dictionary defines intelligence as the ability to learn and understand, there's that word understanding again, to deal with new or trying situations and the skillful use of reason.
SPEAKER_01: We had uh a company that we Employed for a short time at VTN to help, this was several years ago, to understand the appeal process that most ministries use.
SPEAKER_01: And it is a process, it's an appeal.
SPEAKER_01: And they advised us that we needed to adopt some special program like feeding the hungry or building buildings or whatever, because it raises more money.
SPEAKER_01: And they told us that we needed to come up with a cause.
SPEAKER_01: We did not adhere to that.
SPEAKER_01: We did not like that.
SPEAKER_01: Our cause is the gospel.
SPEAKER_01: We were asking people to support and help us.
SPEAKER_01: We didn't want to, you know, drill wells or feed the poor and all that.
SPEAKER_01: Not that we don't do that, we do do that.
SPEAKER_01: But we that's not our cause.
SPEAKER_01: Our cause is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses.
SPEAKER_01: And uh they were giving us advice that um, you know, we chose not to take.
SPEAKER_01: And of course, we severed our relationship with them.
SPEAKER_01: We didn't pay them anymore, we weren't retaining them anymore to advise us on how to raise funds.
SPEAKER_01: And of course, they gave us a lot of facts and figures.
SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, if you uh contact people on your mailing list um, I've forgotten the number of times, they will eventually send you an offering.
SPEAKER_01: It's by repetition, it's by seeding them over and over and over and over and over.
SPEAKER_01: And they had it down to a science that after so many times you'll get uh an offering out of them.
SPEAKER_01: Well, they were using AI even back then, they were using uh this part of computer science.
SPEAKER_01: Now the thing that really interests me is here is a a part, a portion of commuter computer science that is building systems that typically typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving, understanding.
SPEAKER_01: So we have built machines that are gathering information.
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know if you've ever used it or tried it, but I just tested it one day.
SPEAKER_01: I told uh our program director, I said, now I want you to take, I I'm gonna write you uh a partner letter, and I want you to run it through AI and see what they come up with.
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of the stuff that you and I read, even from ministries, is not written by a human.
SPEAKER_01: It's written by a machine.
SPEAKER_01: And they're gathering all of the information that they have compiled all over the world.
SPEAKER_01: And so they did.
SPEAKER_01: They ran it through AI and they gave me back my appeal letter, my reminder letter to our partners, based on what I had already written.
SPEAKER_01: And they added, and it was a pretty good letter, but it wasn't me.
SPEAKER_01: And it wasn't from me, it was from a machine, and it incorporated all kinds of information that I may or may not know about.
SPEAKER_01: Now there's good good things coming out of AI.
SPEAKER_01: I wish I had my phone here, I'd show you.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, here it is.
SPEAKER_01: Right here.
SPEAKER_01: I sent uh, well, I say I, my son, who is much more accurate in this stuff than uh I am, I sent uh him a picture of my mother when she was 20 years old.
SPEAKER_01: And I told him, I said, I want you to run this through uh AI.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I I still have problems with these phones.
SPEAKER_01: These things don't work right all the time.
SPEAKER_01: I heard an IBM computer analyst one time.
SPEAKER_01: I was standing next to him in line at a at a grocery store, drugstore, and the clerk asked him, they recognized him, he'd been a customer for some time, and they asked him, said, sir, uh, uh, what kind of computer would you recommend that I buy?
SPEAKER_01: He said, You worked for IBM for so many years.
SPEAKER_01: What uh what what do you have to say about it?
SPEAKER_01: And he looked at her, he said, ma'am, I wouldn't buy a computer if my life depended on it.
SPEAKER_01: He said, I worked for IBM for 25 years, and he said I wouldn't have one of them.
SPEAKER_01: And I thought, okay, now here you you all can't see it.
SPEAKER_01: That's my mother when she was 25 years old.
SPEAKER_01: Now they sent this to through AI, and look what they did with it.
SPEAKER_01: Isn't that amazing?
SPEAKER_01: Now my mother died in uh 1968.
SPEAKER_01: She was 45 years old.
SPEAKER_01: She never got to see me saved, she never got to see me preach, and I am looking so forward to seeing her when I get to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: And I know she's not gonna look like that, but she's gonna be glorified.
SPEAKER_01: So I'll just have to live with the memory.
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_01: I was 25, she was 45.
SPEAKER_01: She had me when she was 20 years old, and she she was a professional dancer.
SPEAKER_01: She was uh uh dancing ballet in uh New York City with a ballet company, and they were performing Swan Lake, if you know anything about that sort of thing.
SPEAKER_01: And then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and uh we were at war, and uh she and daddy ran off and eloped and got married, and I was born nine months later, you know, that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_01: She he shipped out, and then when I was born, Mama and I went and lived with her parents.
SPEAKER_01: A lot of families did that during the war, um because all the men were gone, and uh, you know, the wives and mamas.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I got a lot of learning from my mother.
SPEAKER_01: I mean, until I I had her attention till my sister was born.
SPEAKER_01: Then I found out after my mama died, I went up and got all her stuff out of the attic, and I found out uh from my baby book.
SPEAKER_01: Mama kept a uh baby book on me.
SPEAKER_01: But when my sister was born, my baby book stopped, and my sister's baby book started.
SPEAKER_01: So I kind of felt like, well, I guess I had my chance first two years, and now it's Catherine's time because she's now the new baby.
SPEAKER_01: And my sister, I wish I had a picture of her.
SPEAKER_01: She, if you ever saw Shirley Temple in the movies, my sister looked almost exactly like Shirley Temple as a little girl.
SPEAKER_01: She was a blonde, little blonde-headed girl, and just as pretty as as you could please.
SPEAKER_01: We learned everything we learned from our parents.
SPEAKER_01: My father was the instructor, my mother laid down the law, she taught me what was right and what was wrong, she taught me how to talk, how taught me manners, she taught me uh how to um uh uh treat a girl or you know, a girlfriend or a woman.
SPEAKER_01: She taught me all those things, taught me the graces of life.
SPEAKER_01: Now, go back to Proverbs chapter 1, and let's begin reading with verse 1.
SPEAKER_01: The Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, to know wisdom instruction, to perceive the words of understanding.
SPEAKER_01: Understanding, underline it, understanding.
SPEAKER_01: To perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity, to give subtlety to the simple, to the young man, knowledge and discretion.
SPEAKER_01: My mother taught me all of those things.
SPEAKER_01: A wise man will hear, and a man of understanding will attain unto wise counsel.
SPEAKER_01: To understand a proverb and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
SPEAKER_01: The dark sayings is referring to the fact that there's no light on that particular thing.
SPEAKER_01: It hasn't been revealed to anybody.
SPEAKER_01: It's a dark saying.
SPEAKER_01: There's no light in giving you revelation.
SPEAKER_01: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
SPEAKER_01: And if you I used to I used to read Proverbs every day for years.
SPEAKER_01: I'd read a chapter.
SPEAKER_01: There's 30 chapters, 31 days in a month.
SPEAKER_01: You just read two.
SPEAKER_01: You can read a chapter a day, and take my word for it, it will increase your learning.
SPEAKER_01: It will help you understand things, it will show you how to live, how to treat God, how to treat each other, how to treat situations, what to do in every situation.
SPEAKER_01: Artificial intelligence lacks character.
SPEAKER_01: It lacks understanding.
SPEAKER_01: It has knowledge, but does not know how to use the knowledge.
SPEAKER_01: Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge correctly.
SPEAKER_01: Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived.
SPEAKER_01: He didn't have, as it said in 1 Corinthians 12, he didn't have the gift of the word of wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: He had wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: Nobody had wisdom like he did.
SPEAKER_01: Now let's go over and see the character of the man.
SPEAKER_01: Let's go over to 1 Kings and let's look at chapter 3, 1 Kings chapter 3, and verse 5.
SPEAKER_01: And Gibeon, the Lord, appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and said, Ask what I shall give you.
SPEAKER_01: And Solomon said, You have showed unto your servant David, my father, great mercy, according as he walked before you in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart.
SPEAKER_01: And you have kept for him his great kindness that you have given him as a son to sit on the throne as it is this day.
SPEAKER_01: And now, O Lord my God, you have made thy servant king instead of David, my father, and I am but a little child.
SPEAKER_01: I know not how to come, how to go out or come in.
SPEAKER_01: I have prayed that so many times.
SPEAKER_01: I've asked God when I was facing a situation.
SPEAKER_01: Lord, I'm like Solomon was.
SPEAKER_01: I'm like a little child.
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what to do.
SPEAKER_01: You ever been there?
SPEAKER_01: You don't have to raise your hand.
SPEAKER_01: Everybody has at one time or another.
SPEAKER_01: And so here is what he said.
SPEAKER_01: And thy servant is in the thy servant, which you've chosen, a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
SPEAKER_01: Give therefore thy servant understanding heart.
SPEAKER_01: Everybody say it, an understanding heart.
SPEAKER_01: To judge thy people that I may discern between good and bad.
SPEAKER_01: For who is able to judge this thy so great people?
SPEAKER_01: Solomon just he just wanted understanding.
SPEAKER_01: He wanted to know how to judge God's people correctly and properly.
SPEAKER_01: You can't get that through AI.
SPEAKER_01: You can't get that through a machine or a computer program.
SPEAKER_01: Listen to the next verse.
SPEAKER_01: And the speech pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing, and God said to him, Because you've asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, riches for yourself, you've not asked the life of your enemies, but you've asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment.
SPEAKER_01: Behold, I have done according to your words.
SPEAKER_01: I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there was none like you before you, neither shall there be any arise like unto you.
SPEAKER_01: And I have also given you, say also, I've also given you that which you have not asked for, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto you all your days.
SPEAKER_01: Now I want you to contrast AI with the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Contrast AI with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
SPEAKER_01: AI is good, but AI is artificial intelligence.
SPEAKER_01: The intelligence, the wisdom, the knowledge and understanding that you and I have is by the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Go to John 14, 26.
SPEAKER_01: And I my whole purpose tonight is to get you to realize this and start using the AI that you have inside you.
SPEAKER_01: The Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_02: Come on, sir.
SPEAKER_01: John chapter 14, verse 26.
SPEAKER_01: The comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things.
SPEAKER_01: He will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
SPEAKER_01: Proverbs chapter 1 says that your mother will lay down the law.
SPEAKER_01: She will teach you things.
SPEAKER_01: That's why Satan has endeavored to destroy the human family.
SPEAKER_01: Because when you take away the mother and the father, you take away the instruction, the mechanism that God intended to produce offspring, is the family.
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you another humorous story here.
SPEAKER_01: When I started dating, you could get a learner's permit to drive when you're 15.
SPEAKER_01: But you couldn't drive by yourself until you were 16.
SPEAKER_01: So I got my learner's permit.
SPEAKER_01: And then I was ready to drive by myself.
SPEAKER_01: But before I could, I had a date with this girl to go to the movies.
SPEAKER_01: And I was looking so forward to it, and I had a car.
SPEAKER_01: I'd worked hard all summer in a lumber mill, and I had enough money to buy a car.
SPEAKER_01: A 1943 Studebaker.
SPEAKER_01: Ugliest car you ever saw.
SPEAKER_01: And so I was going to go to her house and pick her up.
SPEAKER_01: Now my mother had taught me all these things.
SPEAKER_01: You know, how you go knock on the door, you introduce yourself to the parents, and blah, blah, blah.
SPEAKER_01: But my father said, I will go with you and ride in the back seat.
SPEAKER_01: So he did.
SPEAKER_01: I drove over to the girl's house.
SPEAKER_01: My dad's in the back seat.
SPEAKER_01: I went up and knocked on the door, retrieved her, opened the door, got her on her side, I got in the car and drove to the movie theater.
SPEAKER_01: When the movie was over, and my dad took the car home.
SPEAKER_01: When the movie was over, I was to call him from the payphone that was on the wall in the movie theater.
SPEAKER_01: And let him know, and he would bring the car back up there, and then I could drive her home.
SPEAKER_01: So that was my first car date.
SPEAKER_01: He's in the back seat.
SPEAKER_01: I'm driving her home, get to her house, I get out, walk her to the door, bid her goodnight, shut the door, come back, get in the car, and we drove home.
SPEAKER_01: Isn't that archaic?
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that is just.
SPEAKER_01: What kid would do that today?
SPEAKER_01: I mean, oh, hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01: But that was my mother and my father.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: They had a plan.
SPEAKER_01: They were going to produce a kid, a young man, that would amount to something.
SPEAKER_01: They were not going to let me fall through the cracks.
SPEAKER_01: My daddy told, he knew all the policemen in our town, and he told them, he said, My son started driving now.
SPEAKER_01: He said, and here's what he's driving.
SPEAKER_01: He said, if you ever see his car and you see him violating any laws, he said, you let me know.
SPEAKER_01: And they did.
SPEAKER_01: And my dad told me, he said, son, if you ever get put in jail, don't call me.
SPEAKER_01: You know, you get one phone call.
SPEAKER_01: He said, Don't call me.
SPEAKER_01: I said, why not?
SPEAKER_01: He said, because if you got yourself in jail, I'm not going to get you out.
SPEAKER_01: You just stay there until you have served your time.
SPEAKER_01: Whew, what a deterrent.
SPEAKER_01: Because I knew my daddy meant what he said.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, enough of that nostalgia.
SPEAKER_01: Go to John 16, verse 13.
SPEAKER_01: John 16, 13.
SPEAKER_01: And I'm almost done.
SPEAKER_01: I'm cutting it short.
SPEAKER_01: How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, who?
SPEAKER_01: The Spirit of truth.
SPEAKER_01: He will guide you into all truth.
SPEAKER_01: He will not speak of himself, but whatever he hears, he'll speak, and he will show you things to come.
SPEAKER_01: Now AI cannot show you things to come.
SPEAKER_01: All they can do, they let me make this little statement here.
SPEAKER_01: All of this stuff that I got.
SPEAKER_01: Myth versus reality.
SPEAKER_01: AI has a conscience and has feelings.
SPEAKER_01: False.
SPEAKER_01: AI is always objective and unbiased.
SPEAKER_01: False.
SPEAKER_01: AI will take over all human jobs.
SPEAKER_01: False.
SPEAKER_01: There's not going to be many humans left on earth anyway when the Antichrist comes.
SPEAKER_01: And during that seven years of tribulation, two-thirds of the people will be killed.
SPEAKER_01: You know, Trump just had a meeting with Xi Qing Pi, whatever his name is in China.
SPEAKER_01: He said he wants to help with the Iran war.
SPEAKER_01: This president of China has killed almost as many of his own people as any dictator in the history of the world.
SPEAKER_01: They recently sent the police out with machine guns and just mowed down crowds of people that were demonstrating.
SPEAKER_01: How'd you like to live under that dictatorship?
SPEAKER_01: But the Antichrist will do worse than that.
SPEAKER_01: So it behooves us to get as many people saved and go in the rapture as possible so they won't die.
SPEAKER_01: Acts 16.
SPEAKER_01: Well, let me go back to verse 13.
SPEAKER_01: It says, He will show you things to come.
SPEAKER_01: He'll glorify me, he'll receive of mine and show it unto you.
SPEAKER_01: The Holy Spirit is your teacher.
SPEAKER_01: He will teach you everything you need to know.
SPEAKER_01: Now it may take you some time.
SPEAKER_01: You can't get online and go on the computer and go into AI and just say, you know, bing, bing, bing, bing, and I got it all.
SPEAKER_01: No.
SPEAKER_01: You learn character and understanding when you read the scriptures.
SPEAKER_01: Or a textbook when you read the textbook.
SPEAKER_01: Our oldest great-grandson just turned 13.
SPEAKER_01: Whew.
SPEAKER_01: Our youngest great-grandson is one.
SPEAKER_01: I told my granddaughter, I said, What are you doing having a baby at 42 years old?
SPEAKER_01: She said, I'm not supposed to have one.
SPEAKER_01: The doctor told me I didn't have to be concerned about it anymore.
SPEAKER_01: I said, the doctor was wrong.
SPEAKER_01: Now she's dealing with a 13-year-old and a one-year-old.
SPEAKER_01: That's a big spread.
SPEAKER_01: And the 13-year-old, he's been a student, athletic, plays all the sports, but now school is getting harder.
SPEAKER_01: And I asked him, I said, Well, how's school?
SPEAKER_01: He said, Oh boy.
SPEAKER_01: He said, It's getting harder and harder.
SPEAKER_01: As you learn, things do get harder.
SPEAKER_01: But you You know, that's what Bill's character is making decisions, reading the right stuff, doing the right stuff.
SPEAKER_01: And he's a he's a good kid.
SPEAKER_01: He's the one that prayed for a baby brother.
SPEAKER_01: And so now when he has to change diapers or take care of a baby brother, he can't complain.
SPEAKER_01: Because his daddy tells him, You prayed for this kid, now you're going to help change diapers.
SPEAKER_01: Well, he's learning something that very few teenagers ever have to deal with.
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
SPEAKER_01: Acts 16, verses 1 through 10.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to take time to read it because I've already gone past my time.
SPEAKER_01: But Acts 16, you see where the Apostle Paul, and you see the apostles in general, were being led by the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: The Holy Spirit spoke to them and told them, don't go over here, go over here.
SPEAKER_01: In fact, the scripture says the Holy Spirit forbid them.
SPEAKER_01: Forbid them to go over here and preach.
SPEAKER_01: Now we don't know why.
SPEAKER_01: But the Holy Spirit said, Don't go over here, go over here to Macedonia.
SPEAKER_01: There's somebody over there that wants to hear the word.
SPEAKER_01: How many times have I, and I'm sure you and Michelle have, how many times you've gone places, you got up to preach, and you think, whoa, I missed it here.
SPEAKER_01: It's like Brother Hagin said, he's just preaching to cabbage heads.
SPEAKER_01: They didn't respond at all.
SPEAKER_01: And we miss it sometimes because we don't listen to the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: The Holy Spirit is in you.
SPEAKER_01: And he is leading, guiding, and directing you.
SPEAKER_01: He'll remind you of things that Jesus said.
SPEAKER_01: And he will show you things to come.
SPEAKER_01: I was doing a meeting with Brother Savelle.
SPEAKER_01: You might have been with me several years ago.
SPEAKER_01: We were on our way to his house, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, There's one word that I want you to make note of because you're going to hear a lot about this word.
SPEAKER_01: And he said, it's being used improperly, and it's going to deceive a lot of people.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I made a note of that.
SPEAKER_01: And I watched it come to pass.
SPEAKER_01: It was that many years ago.
SPEAKER_01: I've seen it come to pass.
SPEAKER_01: He was informing me of things to come.
SPEAKER_01: He was telling me, look out for this word.
SPEAKER_01: I didn't have to have somebody, you know, preach me a message or give me a computer sheet.
SPEAKER_01: I knew because the Holy Spirit told me.
SPEAKER_01: Now, I'm going to close uh right here.
SPEAKER_01: And uh what I didn't have time to do was to get to the other part of the teaching on the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: When you get to 1 Corinthians 12, it talks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Now, Solomon didn't have a gift of wisdom, he had wisdom.
SPEAKER_01: And it was a gift because God gave it to him.
SPEAKER_01: But in 1 Corinthians 12, it tells us that the Holy Spirit divides these gifts severally as he wills.
SPEAKER_01: And you also know that in the Old Testament, these characters, they might have a demonstration of a gift or the Holy Spirit for a purpose or a short time or something specific.
SPEAKER_01: But we have the Holy Spirit in us all the time.
SPEAKER_01: They didn't have the Holy Spirit in them.
SPEAKER_01: They had the Holy Spirit on them.
SPEAKER_01: We have the Holy Spirit in us, and He is our AI.
SPEAKER_01: You learn anything tonight?
SPEAKER_01: Nothing wrong with AI except it's limited.
SPEAKER_01: But it's going to be used, and you're going to hear more and more of it.
SPEAKER_01: And anytime you hear something about it, well, this is what AI says.
SPEAKER_01: AI can say a lot of things.
SPEAKER_01: That doesn't mean that they're real.
SPEAKER_01: You don't want to be a doubting Thomas.
SPEAKER_01: You don't want to be a critic, but you need to be smart.
SPEAKER_01: Artificial intelligence is artificial, and it's just a compilation of information that has been gathered by different computer programs.
SPEAKER_01: They can take a subject, insert it into that AI program, and gather all the information that's available in the world about that subject.
SPEAKER_01: But they don't have understanding.
SPEAKER_01: They just have information.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Pastor, I'm done.
SPEAKER_01: Forgive me, I went five minutes over time.
