Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry, the tempter came to him and said, If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. Jesus answered, It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but only on the word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down, for it is written, He will command the angels concerning you, and as they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike a foot against a stone. Jesus answered him, it is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test. The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. All this I will give you. He said, If you will bow down and worship me. Jesus said to him, Away with me, Satan, for it is written, Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.
There's a lot of talk about the Antichrist. And I've said in a previous recording that maybe it is possible that AI is the Antichrist, maybe, but more than likely it is a living, breathing entity that is using AI as a tool to tell us lies. So here's the thing is, we have to use our free will and our our our powers of intuition that God has given us to determine who is a real prophet and speaking the Word of God and who is a false prophet, who is speaking for those who would want us to turn away from God, those who would want us to serve someone else other than God, those who would want us to bow down and worship them instead of God. Some other things are out there when we look at the level of corporate greed and how everybody has to have the latest greatest thing in when we look at that, when we look at how we crave and how we just keep feeding on and going after the latest, greatest technology and all of these corporate things that show that we are successful. Are we bowing down and worshipping something other than God, our Father and our Creator, the creator that sent us His Son, our brother Jeshua or Jesus? Are we not worshipping an idol? Are we not serving? We're going to say Satan, for the sake of argument, are we not serving all of those things by going down that path and craving all those things? Okay, so let's go another step. Because if you've been following social media, if you're following me on social media, you're probably getting some of the same things that I am getting about those talking about the demise of man, the rapture and all of the end of days stuff. Here it is again. We are going back to worshipping and bowing down to something that was supposed to turn us away from God. Turn us away from the love of God. Pull us away from that warm centre of love that God provides to us. Because, honestly, just me speaking as a human being, how is it that I can stop the end of days from coming? I can't. There's no way as a human being. There is no way for me to stop that. So why be in fear of it? Why be tempted to be afraid of something that there's only one who can create us, who created us, and can do anything about it. We have no control over that. The only thing we have control over is the demise of our souls. Oh, that's right, we do have control over that. So if we follow the word of God, and we follow the love of God, and we are kind to all those who are around us, and we worship God instead of worshipping the corporations, then we have something. We have salvation. We have real happiness. We have all those things that we see in this reading, we turn away from, and we have the real food that is God's Word. We have the real nourishment for the energy of our souls, that is God. We are serving each other. And by serving each other, we are serving our Creator, our father, the one who sent His Son, our brother to us to show us the way we are serving Him. So every time you turn down the latest, greatest cell phone, every time you say, Hey, I'd rather help a human being than make $1 you were serving Him. But wait, it goes further. Not only did you turn away away from from the and turn towards God, you turn away from the godlessness, but you turn towards God. Not only did you just do that, but here's the service part: more than likely, you bent over and you helped a homeless person stand on his feet. You saw somebody who was emotionally distraught, and you helped them find their emotional centre and move forward with their life. You helped someone who is deep set into grief find their way out of it and climb up, up the ladder in the tunnels, back to the brightness of God. You help them realise where the light was, where that warm centre of love was. Because you started living a life of love and stopped living a life of greed, you found the real bread of life, that is, God's love. You stopped testing him.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days
and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to
him and said, if you are the son of God,
tell these stones to become bred. Jesus answered, it is written.
(01:04):
Man shall not live on bread alone, but only on
the word that comes from the mouth of God. Then
the devil took him to the Holy City and had
him stand on the highest point of the temple. If
you are the son of God, he said, throw yourself down,
(01:29):
for it is written he will command the angels concerning you,
and as they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike a foot against a stone.
Jesus answered him, it is also written, do not put
(01:50):
the Lord your God to the test. Again, the devil
took him to a very high mountain and showed him
all the kingdoms of the world and their splinter. All
(02:10):
this will give I will give you, he said, if
you will bow down and worship me. Jesus said to him,
away with with me, Satan, for it is written, worship
the Lord your God and serve him only. There's a
(02:37):
lot of talk right now about Oh well, we are
hearing once again in the foreground about the Antichrist. And
I've said in a previous recording that maybe it is
possible that AI is the Antichrist. Maybe, but more than
(03:03):
likely it is a living, breathing entity that is using
AI as a tool to tell us lies. So here's
the thing is, we have to use our free will
and our own powers of intuition that God has given
(03:29):
us to determine who is a real prophet and speaking
the word of God, and who is a false prophet,
who is speaking for those who would want us to
turn away from God, those who would want us to
(03:50):
serve someone else other than God, those who would want
us to bow down and worship them instead of God.
There are some other things that are out there. When
we look at the level of corporate greed and how
(04:14):
everybody has to have the latest, greatest thing, and when
we look at that, when we look at how we
crave and how we just keep feeding on and going
after the latest greatest technology and all of these corporate
things that show that we are successful. Are we bowing
(04:41):
down and worshiping something other than God, our Father and
our creator, the Creator that sent us, his son, our brother.
How you ever want to call him Jesua or Jesus?
(05:03):
Are we not worshiping an idol? Are we not serving
We're gonna say Satan for sake of argument. Are we
not serving all of those things by going down that
path and craving all those things? Okay, So let's go
(05:26):
another step, because if you've been following social media, if
you're following me on social media, you're probably getting some
of the same things that I am getting about those
talking about the demise of man, the rapture, and all
of the end of day's stuff. Here it is again,
(05:50):
we are going back to worshiping and bowing down to
something that wants to turn us away from God, turn
us away from the love of God, pull us away
from that warm center of love that God provides to us.
(06:14):
Because honestly, just me speaking as a human being, how
is it that I can stop the end of days
from coming? I can't. There's no way possible as a
(06:35):
human being, there is no way possible for me to
stop that. So why be in fear of it? Why
be tempted to be afraid of something that there's only
one who can create us? Who he who created us,
(06:58):
can do anything about it. We have no control over that.
The only thing we have control over is the demise
of our own souls. Oh that's right, we do actually
have control over that. So if we follow the word
of God, and we follow the love of God, and
(07:21):
we are kind to all those who are around us,
and we worship God instead of worshiping the corporations, then
we have something. We have salvation, We have real happiness.
(07:44):
We have all those things that we see in this
reading we turn away from, and we have the real
food that is God's word. We have the real nourishment
for the energy of our souls, that is God. We
(08:07):
are serving each other, and by serving each other, we
are serving our creator, our Father, the one who sent
his son, our brother, to us to show us the
way we are serving him. So every time you turned
(08:35):
down the latest, greatest cell phone, every time you say, hey,
I rather help a human being than make a dollar,
you are serving him. But wait, it goes further. Not
only did you turn away away from the and turn
(08:58):
towards God, you turn away from the godlessness and you
turned towards God. Not only did you just do that,
but here's the service part. More than likely. You bent
over and you helped a homeless person stand on his feet.
(09:19):
You saw somebody who was emotionally distraught, and you helped
them find their emotional center and move forward with their life.
You helped someone who was deep set into grief find
their way out of it and climb up up the
(09:43):
ladder in the tunnels back to the brightness of God.
You helped them realize where the light was, where that
warm center of love was. Because you started living a
life of love and stop living living a life of greed,
(10:04):
you found the real bread of life, that is God's love.
You stopped testing him. You stop trying to throw yourself
off the balcony so that He will send the angels
to come save you. You stop testing him and you
(10:26):
start believing. That is part of what was written here.
It says, do not put the Lord your God to
the test. Instead of asking God, why don't you give
(10:52):
me this or give me that, start a conversation with God,
asking him how you can be of service to him,
how you can help your fellow human beings so that
you become the beacon of love that he wants you
to be. Then you are serving God. Then you are
(11:21):
worshiping the ones who deserve our love, who that's all
they actually ask for, and they give you the universe
in return. Only God can hand you that real, that
(11:43):
real key to the universe. So did you understand everything
that is actually going on? This shows you the truth.
Only through God's love will you be able to see
the truth of what is actually happening. That you will
be able to see through the deception of all of
those social media posts that you see. Only through that
(12:04):
will you find truth, your truth through God. So I
just pray or thank you for sending your son, our
(12:31):
brother Jesus Jesua as in this particular reading when he
was tempted in the wilderness, that his words of how
he pushed back against temptation, his words about how he
(12:55):
worshiped you instead of taking greed. Help us to do
the same. Help us to turn so that we can
turn away from the godlessness and turn towards your love
and your warm center. Help us to go up on
(13:22):
the highest mountains and scream to the top of our
lungs that I believe that God is our love center.
Through Him, all things are salvation. Help us to do that,
Help us to be that beacon of love. Help us
to be our voices, to lift up your name so
(13:42):
that everyone hears the truth that if we stand by you,
that all things will be good and okay. Through you,
we will be protected and have a wonderful life
