32 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:20.520 I have no idea. 33 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.680 I don't think so. 34 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.840 I just love the smell of gasoline and oil and real metal and it just smells great. 35 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:38.520 And so I got this 1963 Ford F100 pickup from some guy in a farm in New Mexico. 36 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.320 And so it needs love and it needs care and all this kind of stuff. 37 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:51.800 But my grandson saw it and he got a picture of it and he fed it into an AI app. 38 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.120 And you can ask the AI app to do certain things with the image. 39 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:01.600 So he puts the image in and his request was to make it look like a die cast toy, you 40 00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:03.920 know a die cast car. 41 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:06.160 For those who don't know, that's a really big deal. 42 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:11.840 In fact, our good friend Chip Fouce has tons of die cast cars that are out there. 43 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.320 Some of them, by the way, sell for thousands of dollars. 44 00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.440 It's just, there's a niche, there's an interesting kind of a thing. 45 00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:28.320 Be that as it may, AI within three minutes generated this perfect die cast image where 46 00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:31.240 you could, I mean, it is perfect. 47 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.960 It's clearly a toy. 48 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.080 It's clearly my pickup truck, but you want to just pick it up and you want to play 49 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.240 with it, but it's not real. 50 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:46.000 And then he asked it to do the same picture and he asked it to do a fuzzy, which turns 51 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.240 the pickup truck into basically like a stuffed animal, but it's a stuffed pickup truck. 52 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.440 And if you see it, it's so cool that you would, you would print it out or you would make 53 00:03:55.440 --> 00:03:59.560 it, I should say, make it and sell it at a toy store. 54 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.360 It's perfect, but it's not real. 55 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:10.880 And so maybe you have seen now RFK with President Trump's cabinet and he's speaking to the 56 00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:18.560 press about the healthcare crisis and he's talking about people being overweight and all 57 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.240 this kind of, and it's not even him speaking. 58 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.640 It's all fake. 59 00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:30.720 You can't even tell his lips are moving to the words because AI will do that and what 60 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.120 looks like to us, what looks like to our eyes real time. 61 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.680 And it's his voice, but it's not his voice and it's not his words. 62 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.000 It's fake. 63 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.400 So my question to you is, if you watch a speech, if, if, for example, Gavin Newsom is going 64 00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:52.200 to call a press conference to apologize to all Californians as to how bad of a governor 65 00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:56.640 he is, you would know that that's fake, okay? 66 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.000 It would look like him. 67 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.600 It would sound like him. 68 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.920 You couldn't tell. 69 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.080 And we're in that world now that you must agree with me regarding technology. 70 00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:09.840 We don't know what's real or not. 71 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:13.240 Listen, I may not be real right now with you. 72 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.560 What if this is fake? 73 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.080 How do you know? 74 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:21.920 Well, in this world of technology, you don't know exactly. 75 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:28.960 You're actually trusting that I'm actually here right now and that this is real. 76 00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:31.400 I assure you it's real. 77 00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:38.480 But the point that I'm making is deception now is so, is so polished. 78 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.080 It's so can I put it this way white collar? 79 00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:43.840 It's so white collar like white collar crime. 80 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.320 You know, it's beautiful, suit and tie, high level high class crime. 81 00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:52.240 So now information. 82 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.680 You don't know if it's true or not because of the overwhelming ability to deceive. 83 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.560 So check this out as believers. 84 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:11.360 Are you ready to actually embrace a 2000 year old document that tells you about tomorrow? 85 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.080 Can you handle that? 86 00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:15.160 Do you believe God's able to do that? 87 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.680 Man's not able to do that. 88 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:25.880 But how can we test what's being said in the world today, even if it's being said by 89 00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:29.080 artificial intelligence? 90 00:06:29.080 --> 00:06:30.080 This is cool. 91 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:33.920 Listen, how can we know? 92 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.440 The plum mine has never changed. 93 00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:39.440 The acid test has never changed. 94 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:47.200 The word of God is able to cut into slice between the thoughts and the intentions, the motives 95 00:06:47.200 --> 00:06:50.160 of a human heart. 96 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.480 And it is also because it is pure and perfect truth. 97 00:06:53.480 --> 00:07:00.800 It's also able to flush out the falsehood of artificial theology. 98 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.680 Okay, so here we go. 99 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.800 Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7 verse 15, beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's 100 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:10.800 clothing. 101 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.840 Wow, that's deception, is it not? 102 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:21.480 A false prophet is going to dress just like you, the believer, act just like you, talk 103 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.480 just like you, but Jesus said, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 104 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.800 You will know them by their fruits. 105 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:37.000 Wow, that means open up your eyes and look at the life and lifestyles of these charlatans 106 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:43.960 that you see on TV who are telling you that you need to do certain things and notice 107 00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:50.280 all the certain things they're telling you to do, it has everything to do with them being 108 00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:56.840 at the epicenter of receiving from you what they're telling you to do. 109 00:07:56.840 --> 00:07:58.920 Mark that. 110 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.480 You will know them by their fruits. 111 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.360 Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from fizzles? 112 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.480 The answer is nope. 113 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:12.960 Even so every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 114 00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:18.120 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 115 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.920 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 116 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.040 Jesus said, therefore by their fruits, you will know them. 117 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:34.080 So as we march through this very, very quickly, I'm going to read you a lot of scripture. 118 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.880 Please be asking yourself, is your spiritual relationship and your experience between 119 00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:41.880 you and God? 120 00:08:41.880 --> 00:08:44.920 Is it for real between you and other believers? 121 00:08:44.920 --> 00:08:45.920 Is it for real? 122 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:46.920 Okay. 123 00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:48.800 Now it's getting more risky, right? 124 00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:53.600 If it's between you and God, there's probably a good chance that God is saying, yep, we're 125 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.320 you and I are real or hey, listen to what this nut is saying to you. 126 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.720 He's telling truth. 127 00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.720 He's speaking truth. 128 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.960 You and I need to work some things out, buddy. 129 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.120 God's talking to you about this stuff, but here's where it gets harder. 130 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.720 Some epicenter out, the shock waves get a little bit more dampened and it means this. 131 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.800 How do you know the friends that you have are actual Christian, Biblical-based friends? 132 00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:18.200 How do you know? 133 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:19.200 Because they said so. 134 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.880 That's not good enough. 135 00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:25.760 Because in time, what they say is going to be tested. 136 00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:28.240 So what do you do next? 137 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.040 You do not confuse the fact that you know their name. 138 00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:38.400 You see their face and what they are proclaiming to be versus or up against what they actually 139 00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.920 are. 140 00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:43.440 You need to know them, okay?
