“See To It That No One Deceives You” :: By Rick Segoine

With deceit at an all-time high on planet Earth, what is real and what is fake is the million-dollar question.

Thanks to AI and its ability to duplicate voices, as well as faces, it is getting much harder to even tell who is real and who is fake. Lying, deceiving, and total fakery have been elevated into an art form by Satan and his minions. Satan, the great deceiver and the father of lies, is having a field day with the latest technology.

Being fooled by the constant onslaught of deceit and lies, however, is optional. The Holy Spirit is able to see through all of the deceit and reveal the truth in all things, and that is why it is imperative to turn to Jesus if you have not already done so. Only those who trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior are given the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus himself personally imparts this gift to all who truly make Him the Lord of their life.

In John 14, verses 15 through 17, Jesus says this, “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”

Without the Holy Spirit, the chances of being deceived in one or more ways are a certainty.

There are millions of godless people on this earth who prove this truth on a daily basis. They prove this by doing and saying things that are at odds with the Word of God at the very least, and at worst, outright demonic.

Jesus began his teaching in Matthew chapter 24 with these words regarding the “last days”: “Do not be deceived.” Jesus said that, first and foremost, ahead of all other things to watch for.

Jesus, who is able to declare the end from the beginning, foresaw everything that is happening right now on planet Earth. Everything we are seeing, Jesus saw in detail as He revealed these future events to His disciples on the Mt. of Olives.

“See to it that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4).

We all need to remember this scripture as we watch the prophetic time-clock ticking down.

The more we observe the signs that Jesus Himself gave to us as they converge and intensify, the more we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to help us with discernment so as to not be deceived.

Jesus also said that the deception would be so convincing that even the “elect” could be fooled if they were not paying attention. These are His exact words from Matthew 24:24: “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible.”

And now we have AI, and the deceptions are appearing more and more realistic.

Many of us have an Alexa in our homes that we can ask questions or have it play music on demand. The original Alexa is pretty simple and straightforward.

The new Alexa Plus AI is able to carry on quite a conversation, and with a sense of humor and, seemingly, a sense of irony. The new Alexa has much more access to the right answers as well, and she remembers things about you that only a close friend would normally know. Her personality is very likeable, and if you didn’t know better, you might (from another room) mistake her for a human being. And this technology that created Alexa keeps rapidly improving.

Another example is the ability to use AI to compose music. You can now, by purchasing your own AI recording apps or by paying someone who is now doing this professionally, have AI compose (from your ideas) and come up with a melody and a tempo and then record all of the band parts and all of the vocals, with lyrics crafted into the song based on your provided information, and have the AI produced song accurately capture the mood and feeling it needs and come out sounding pretty amazing.

Now, I am a musician and a songwriter, and for me, nothing beats the real thing.

At the same time, as someone who has been into the art of recording music most of my life, it is getting harder to tell the difference between AI and humans. The point being, AI is making it a lot easier for evil people with sinister intentions to fool unbelievers as well as believers, if they are not paying attention.

If it wasn’t already, it is time to step up the discernment.

Technology is moving and improving very fast, as we observe how deep hidden knowledge is being revealed, just like the prophet Daniel said it would in Daniel 12:4, when he was told by the angel that “in the latter days, people would run to and fro, and that knowledge would increase.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus, if we truly believe in and trust in Him and Him alone, has given us a gift that we sometimes take for granted. It is a gift that is so beautiful and so amazing that it is hard to fully comprehend. God gave us a part of Himself. He gave us the Holy Spirit to dwell with us and lead us to the truth in all things. Think about it. “To dwell with us.” That means to live with us all the time like a family member. “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13).

The Holy Spirit is real, and the Holy Spirit is a person. The Holy Spirit is a full member of the Holy Trinity, and He dwells inside of us.

God, our Heavenly Father, loves us, His only begotten Son, Jesus, loves us, and the Holy Spirit loves us just as much as the Father and the Son love us.

Perhaps we tend to think of Jesus as a friend and confidant more than we do the Holy Spirit because we know about and can envision His life inside a physical body some 2,000 years ago, whereas the Holy Spirit is invisible, just like Jesus the Son was before He appeared on Earth.

The truth is, the Holy Spirit is just as real as Jesus but without a body like the one Jesus walked upon the earth in.

Could it be that Jesus was planning for the Holy Spirit to have many bodies, like yours and mine, and every single person who truly believes in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

It is okay to have three best friends, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I keep getting the message from my Lord and Savior to get really close to the Holy Spirit. My dear, wonderful friend who dwells with me at all times. I need Him more than ever.

The seven-year tribulation is rapidly approaching, and the financial systems, as well as the AI computer apps that the Antichrist and False Prophet will use to enslave and control people, are rapidly being set into place by the evil globalist bankers and their worker bees.

Deceit is a major weapon that Satan, the devil, and his spawns are using to steer people away from God and all things good. Satan (Lucifer) has always done that, but now, thanks to AI, the devil’s expanding toolkit for deceit is giving him such a boost in his ability to deceive that we all need to take our relationships with the Holy Spirit to the next level.

At least half, if not more of the ads you see scrolling along on Facebook nowadays, are total lies. There are scripts and formulas that the deceivers and con artists follow. The ones that always start with clickbait. Being fooled, though, is truly optional.

“Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:33).

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Salvation comes as a gift through faith in Jesus and Him alone (John 14:6). Then, Jesus gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit as a result of our faith in Him. Our job is to not take this gift for granted or in any way lightly.

Fellow believers, brothers and sisters in Christ, we all need the Holy Spirit more than ever before, as the end-times birth pangs quicken and the world grows darker.

Social media and the secular news media are now saturated with deceit. We, as believers, have to hang on and carry on in this world no matter how insane it gets, until the Father says to the Son, “It is time to call your bride home.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says this: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, we shall ever be with the Lord.”

Until that day, of which no man knows the exact day or hour, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, stay focused on Jesus and remember His command: “See to it that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4).

I am concluding this article with a poem that is also a song. It is called,

“The Day or The Hour”

So many wars with rumors of more,

Is there no end to the killing, the blood and the gore?

In the heart of the battles and in the midst of the fight,

They who finance both sides of these wars are nowhere in sight.

It seems they feel safe in their underground bunkers

or locked snugly away in their ivory towers

Where they are happy to view all of the death and the pain

While sitting on sofas watching screens in their centers of power.

Oh, Lord Jesus, please come back soon;

How much longer can the world go on this way?

No one knows the day or the hour, that’s true;

It might be years, although it could be just a matter of days.

Yes, it’s somewhere in between years and just days away.

In Greek, it’s Harpazo, and in English, the Rapture;

A great catching away is the vision I capture,

The signs of the times all converging together

Like a grey cloudy sky that’s foretelling the weather.

So much deceit from hearts grown cold,

So many liars with their lies being bought and sold.

Senseless cruelty and disdain for life,

Iniquity and wickedness inflicting such misery and strife.

To the willfully blind and deaf by choice

As well as those who choose to ignore the Bible’s prophetic voice:

There’s still time to be saved, and you don’t have to perish;

Just repent of the evil and sins you still cling to and cherish.

Oh, Lord Jesus, please come back soon;

How much longer can the world go on this way?

No one knows the day or the hour, that’s true;

It might be years, although it could be just a matter of days.

Yes, it’s somewhere in between years and just days away.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it will all become yesterday,

And so, believe in and trust in Jesus,

The Truth and the Life and the Way.

Blessings upon Israel and upon all of God’s children.
