Discerning Deception
The increasing use of AI in out world will be used for great good in literature, economics, governing, solving problems, and the completion of the Great Commission. It’s an amazing knowledge accelerator.
It will also be used for evil–and could possibly be the force behind a future “Antichrist” to rule the world. The “World Ruler” may not be real– just a convincing counterfeit image run by AI programming. Call him/her the “Wizard of Oz on Steroids” during the End Times (“don’t look behind the curtain”).
But deception comes in all shapes and sizes.
We must learn to discern deception when we see it.
Seven Trumpets Blasts for Revival
Blowing a loud trumpet (shofar) was used for thousands of years to mobilize armies and rally people to action. Some are on the horizon in 2026 to call America and the world to spiritual awakening in Jesus.
I see at least seven major opportunities for revival explosions in the next nine months. They are designed to call the Body of Christ in the USA and elsewhere in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14:
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Here are the seven “trumpets” being prepared to sound. How should you and your church get involved?
Control the Streets, Control the Culture
Blythe Harper was a mentor in 1972-73 when I was studying and doing missions work in New Zealand. He ran the Christian bookstore in downtown Auckland and served as a leading organizer of a national “Jesus March” movement.
During that time, believers in Kiwiland took to the streets to lift up the Name of Jesus, bind the principalities and powers, place Bibles in every home, and bring “shalom” to their country.
It worked. New Zealand was a blessed nation during that era and made a huge contribution to global missions. Why? They understand that if you control the streets you control the culture.
We must re-learn that lesson in the 2020’s.
