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
