Having had pastors who faithfully teach the Word of God my whole life (almost 71 years now), I still enjoy being taught by additional pastors whose exegesis of the Word is sound. YouTube has made it so simple to learn more! But as a society, we are being invaded more and more by deception.

Jesus instructed us to be as wise as serpents but as harmless as doves. Are we as individuals studying our Bible to know it well enough to recognize false doctrine? Are we *aware,* as we are listening or reading, of common sense clues that would reveal a problem with what we are ingesting? Yes, the Holy Spirit gives us the gifts of wisdom and discernment of spirits, but He also empowers us with wisdom based on life experiences and listening to His gentle voice. Are we using our God-given brains? Are we being Bereans, consulting God’s word to compare and contrast what we are hearing or reading for determining Biblical accuracy?

Most of us, even those of us in our golden years, know that artificial intelligence (AI) is here. It is expanding in its general benefits, but even more so developing into a tool for great evil. But are we consuming media with enough vigilance to distinguish deception from truth?

In the last seven days, I have digitally encountered multiple podcasts using the AI-cloned voices of three recognizable Bible teachers! The AI content creators are using well-known, respected men to promote their particular agenda.

As the author of a book about domestic abuse in our churches and how to help the survivors, my attention is drawn to topics regarding narcissistic abuse. Last week, someone on Facebook shared a podcast, supposedly of Billy Graham, teaching on narcissism. Not a video, but audio only. I only got through eight minutes before the accumulation of red flags shouted “turn this off!” In that instance, I did not need the “gift of discernment” or to compare texts from the Bible. In those few minutes, I did hear some accuracy about narcissism. However, I allowed my brain to ponder on these red flags:

1. The late Dr. Billy Graham was a great orator!
   • The audio I was hearing was staccato at times, like pieces put together carelessly. It was not the smooth manner in which Dr. Graham always delivered his messages.
   • Phrases were repeated several times. Billy Graham was an accomplished speaker. He did not have to repeat his key points, for he delivered them with skill and authority. Being a televised evangelist, he had time constraints; thus, his messages were to the point, not ambling about in repetition.
   • Graham passed away seven years ago in February of 2018. This audio I heard, and another I saw available were recent posts and were not from the official Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
2. The most glaring red flag?
   • As an evangelist, Dr. Graham’s calling and dedication was to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. To my knowledge, he never strayed from calling people to salvation through the blood of Jesus.

Yesterday, as I was on YouTube, I was presented quite randomly with Pastor David Jeremiah teaching on, you guessed it — narcissists and specifically not being kind to them. (IMHO, the safest tactic is to simply remove yourself and leave them to the Lord!) I am not as familiar with his teaching style as I am with Dr. Graham’s, but again, this was audio only accompanied by memes superimposed on the screen. The comments from others who actually listened were what alerted me; for they were quite struck with the unscriptural teaching they were hearing. I chose to not listen and will explain that choice later.

This week on YouTube, there was an announcement by David Diga Hernandez regarding cloning of his voice. Per Mr. Hernandez, “The message included references to angel feathers and the symbolism of repeatedly seeing certain numbers—topics I don’t personally teach.” Mrs. Hernandez, upon listening to the audio, couldn’t even tell that it was not his voice! Brother Hernandez ended his announcement with the request to only listen to his official channel.

You will notice in all three cases that, besides the cloning, the common denominator is audio only. Consequently, our ears don’t have the cooperation of our eyes to examine the media presentation to assess the reality of who is speaking.

In the first two cases, there is the promoting of one particular topic. Teaching about narcissistic domestic abuse DOES need to be taught in our churches! This sin is rampant, though usually covert, and Christian wives are suffering. Nevertheless, each of these podcasts (and probably many others) have been created through deception. These podcasts originated as a lie.

We must remember this: if someone has generated content by the deceptive use of the illegal cloning of a well-known speaker’s voice, every bit of the content then becomes suspect. The content creator lied right out of the gate; how can one trust the remainder of the subject matter to be truthful? “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” —Albert Einstein.

I am responsible for what I allow into my eye and ear gates. Once determining the deception of an AI cloned message, I did not and I will not listen through to the conclusion of the message for this reason: Why infiltrate my subconscious mind with content I know was purposely presented with a bald-faced lie? The Apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:13, tells us that “evil men [Strong’s G444-human, either male or female] and imposters [Strong’s G1114-deceivers] will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” We each have enough to deal with in life without knowingly sowing into our minds teaching that started out with a flagrant lie!

In Proverbs 14:5, through Solomon, we are told, “A faithful witness does not lie; but a false witness will utter lies.” In Matthew 24, Jesus was teaching that deception is out there and urges “Take heed that no one deceives you.”

Jesus warns us that, near the end, religious imposters will show great signs and wonders with the purpose of deception. Those hearing that sermon, if seeing and hearing the AI of today, would surely think the cloning of voices to be a great wonder! Paul in Ephesians 4:14 exhorts us “…to no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, and the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.”

Faithful pastors, teachers, and evangelists WILL encourage us to be like the Bereans and evaluate their teaching alongside the Bible. False teachers will use other means, such as AI cloning of faithful teachers’ voices, to dupe the casual listener, the Christian less-schooled in Scripture, and those “thinking” with their hearts instead of reasoning with a mind saturated with the Word.

So, knowing digital fraud is competing against solid teaching, what are we to do? My suggestions (no doubt incomplete) are:

>Above ALL study your Bible! Don’t just “read to check off today’s reading plan box.” You don’t have to read the whole Bible in a year. Chew on passages. Ask the Lord to enlighten you. Become familiar with the whole counsel of God. Use Strong’s Concordance to identify the meaning of Greek and Hebrew words beyond commonly and incompletely defined in English. Blue Letter Bible has all sorts of helps for comprehending what you are reading. Read Pastoral commentaries. After reading my particular day’s Scripture passage, my favorite commentary is Enduring Word by Pastor David Guzik.

>Listen (or read) all so-called Biblical teaching with an analytical mind. Use your own white matter to analyze, “Does this sound like anything Pastor So and So would actually teach?” “Does this teaching align with Scripture?” “Why does the audio sound weird?” (see “Billy Graham’s” inconsistent delivery above). “My spirit is…disturbed. What is causing that as I take in this teaching?”

>Pray for everyday common-sense discernment (different than the gift of the discerning of spirits, which we should also ask for!) I live in Florida. Common sense tells me that an alligator sporting a pink rhinestone collar bearing a nametag of “Princess” is still not a tame, domesticated pet. I should not invite her onto my lap! The same discernment applies when approaching teaching marketed as Biblical or presented by someone displaying some sense of spiritual authority—use holy discrimination (discerning, distinguishing one from another)!

>Pray for wisdom to know what to do with the information that thoughtful discernment and common sense have imparted to you.

Oh, Holy Spirit, protect us from spiritual infection! Give us Your mind, sensitive spirits, and remind us to use our “thinking caps” when we see symptoms we should not allow to contaminate us! We want to be hearing You clearly.

The debate regarding euthanasia is heating up around the world. And it looks like it is going to be the wave of the future. The lone holdout is the United States, and we are fading fast.

According to those who promote this evil, euthanasia, defined properly as murder by doctor, can be used when someone is allegedly suffering from a debilitating illness. The impetus for this malevolence is that no one wants to be a financial burden to their families or disrupt their lives to the point where they make their loved ones miserable.

That’s when ailing people, especially the elderly, are taken on a guilt trip to get them to terminate their lives so they can ‘end everyone’s suffering.’

We, as Christians, oppose euthanasia because our death should be in God’s hands. That having been said, there is no need for us to extend our lives when we are suffering greatly and we know we are about to die. However, all decisions about one’s life need to be made prayerfully by the sufferer and his family, not by a deluded doctor backed by a government functionary.

Euthanasia is easily abused by evil and corrupt governments, like the government of Oregon, where people are viewed as disposable.

Since the world is filled with evil and corrupt governments, it looks like we are going to get severe abuse of euthanasia.

We as a society are supposed to praise God and protect life because we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Liberals, leftists, and Marxists see us only as a clump of disposable cells.

In the Book of Revelation, we are introduced to a new economic system where several goods are bought and sold. Among these commodities are the bodies and souls of men (Revelation 18:13).

In a story in ‘The Exposé’ by Rhonda Wilson, entitled “The Euthanasia Threat,” a little more light is shed on exactly how this new market transaction will likely come about.

Ms. Wilson reports on Dr. Vernon Coleman, who is attempting to warn us of the danger that state-sanctioned euthanasia poses. According to Dr. Coleman, doctor-assisted suicide is not about compassion; it is about money and organ harvesting.

In other words, it is no different than sexually mutilating and sterilizing confused children for profit (this is ‘Transgenderism’ accurately defined).

To get the euthanasia ball rolling, they first must propagandize the citizenry to support “Death with Dignity” (the left does love their euphemisms).

According to Dr. Coleman, “Euthanasia is about saving money, collecting organs for the super-rich, killing disabled children, killing the mentally ill, and reducing the money spent on caring for the poor and the disabled and patients in pain.

Euthanasia isn’t always painless, and anyone making this claim is lying. When you take their cocktail of life-ending drugs, there are often complications such as severe pain, a sensation of drowning, and terror in a large number of cases.

And this horror can go on indefinitely.

There is no concern for those suffering debilitating illnesses; “it’s all about saving money and harvesting organs for the rich,” he said.

He put out a video on BitChute under the title ‘They want to kill us’ for those who want more information.

Dr. Coleman has noticed that there is a global plan to encourage governments to include euthanasia as part of their government-run health care plans. That is, their ‘socialist’ health care plans.

The only evidence we need of this assertion is the fact that the corrupt media the world over seems to be completely on board with this. That means the evil Globalists have put the word out to all media outlets to promote their new money-making scheme.

The new system works like this: First, our doctors are trained on how to persuade us to allow them to kill us whether we are suffering from a debilitating condition or not. Their level of persuasion will depend on how useful they view us as being to the Satanic kingdom that is being built (our doctors, along with all health care professionals, attend numerous seminars funded by the evil Globalists that will teach them this new medical ethic – and richly reward those who go along with it).

That means people of faith will be in for big trouble in the near future.

As with most totalitarian ideologies, they will begin with persuasion to get what they want. Once that begins to fail, after a few laws are passed, our medical professionals may have to slip a note to the local bureaucracy, which can employ more coercive techniques.

The communist Chinese government has mastered ‘death with dignity.’

According to Dr. Coleman, euthanasia is being promoted as a means of offering dignity and control to those who are suffering. The problem is there is no dignity in suicide, and the ability to control this process is fading fast.

At this point, those who brush this off as just another conspiracy theory deserve ‘death with dignity.’

The propaganda supporting this evil is already occurring. Many of those who are suffering are being told that they have a duty to die for the good of society.

Population control advocates will even kill children who say they want to die and, at some point, they will not need parental permission to do it. If they can mutilate a child sexually without informing the parents, there really is nothing preventing them from ending a child’s life when it suits their purposes.

Any child who goes to the school nurse or to the hospital is now in danger. Regardless of whether the child’s problem is physical or psychological, he/she is in peril of being subjected to an agenda rather than being given proper health care.

The elderly are also in great danger if the young decide to turn against them.

When someone is killed through euthanasia, it does not go into the official statistics as death by euthanasia; it goes down as death by cancer, diabetes, depression, or whatever malady that led to the decision to seek ‘death by doctor.’

It is no different than when all deaths by the standard flu were listed as ‘COVID deaths.’

Medical professionals around the world are now being trained to be hostile to their patients. The evil Globalists have jettisoned the Hippocratic Oath and inculcated their new ethic so that physicians show the same disdain for humanity that they possess.

The evil Globalists and their media are creating a world where life is not worth living. They fill people’s heads with the pagan notion of climate change where there is a ‘no win’ situation. If we do not stop climate change, they claim, we are all going to die. If we make the changes they want, we will die of exposure, starvation, or government oppression.

They have already convinced a large number of people that they are suffering from a mental illness that requires psychotropic medications. This has left the citizenry susceptible to any ridiculous propaganda that they spew out through the airwaves.

Canada is well ahead of the curve when it comes to knocking off people through euthanasia. They have killed tens of thousands of people with their ‘free health care’ system that few can access. Many Canadians choose to die rather than live in agony, waiting for their chance at accessing Canada’s free medical services.

Those who are considered a burden to their society are encouraged to end their lives. Apparently, these medical professionals are very persuasive because thousands have taken them up on their offer.

Canada’s Supreme Court even got into the act of widening how many people can off themselves.

And a growing number of people are anxious to see euthanasia expand, especially when it comes to killing off the elderly who stubbornly refuse to die. Many believe that the elderly have a duty to die by the time they reach 70.

This age excludes the elites, however.

It is not hard to imagine where this is all leading.

1. The evil Globalists want to reduce the world population.
2. The evil Globalists want to make money off of human suffering.
3. The evil Globalists want to pervert the medical profession to suit their purposes while caring nothing for the health of the patient.
4. The evil Globalists want socialized medicine, to control health care, and don’t want to waste money on those they consider ‘worthless people.’

This is what number three, ‘Good health and Well-being,’ of their ‘sustainable development goals is all about. If you think the evil Globalists care about our health and well-being, you have completely misunderstood the situation that we all find ourselves in.

Once the goals of euthanasia are fully realized, people will eventually be convinced to sell their organs if they believe life is not worth living. There is a worldwide demoralization campaign going on right now to bring that about.

In Holland, the government is promoting ‘Euthanasia Week’ as if it is something worth celebrating. Those who have been convinced that death is superior to life can make a ‘Living Will’ in which they commit themselves to euthanasia at some future date.

These are legal documents that cannot be easily annulled. Once you have made the decision to kill yourself, and money has changed hands, there is no turning back.

The Globalists are already making preparations for this ghoulish practice to go worldwide. The money for hospices and palliative care is drying up around the world. These programs are being eliminated to force people to make a choice: live in pain and misery or agree to end their life.

In Britain, not long ago, doctors visited patients in their homes to provide needed care. This practice has been ended as doctors are being financially rewarded for providing poor medical care.

And the new Marxist government of Britain is fully on board with the new destructive healthcare practices.

This leaves millions of people on never-ending waiting lists where they are offered death instead of waiting in pain for medical care.

This is happening around the world. The doctor/patient relationship is being transformed. If the COVID protocols are a good indicator, even in this country doctors are being trained to see patients as cattle.

Dr. Coleman points out that there is only one reason why ‘the establishment’ is keen on euthanasia. It will release a good many organs for use.

If people are left to die naturally, their organs will be wasted. If their organs can be harvested in good condition, they can be given to those who are considered ‘useful’ to those in charge.

The evil Globalists will find many takers for those who are offered a lot of money to kill themselves. Perhaps they will offer someone the opportunity to live in decadence for one year before agreeing to allow themselves to be killed.

There are thousands of scenarios where people will be willing to sell their bodies and souls for a small taste of the best that this world offers.

This process is compatible with the abortion agenda since they are based on the same ideology. They plan to get rid of those they consider ‘burdens’ and then make money selling their body parts.

We, as Christians, cannot submit to the demonic agenda of euthanasia or abortion. It is the job of the church to warn the world of what is coming and call the advocates of this wickedness to repent.

We will not be able to stop it, but we need to rescue as many as possible before this becomes standard operating procedure.

Satan wants you to believe that your life is worthless. If he were God, he would be right. But he is not God; he is just a fallen angel who wants to destroy what God has created.

Any ideology, such as euthanasia, abortion, climate change, or evolution that is designed to suck the meaning out of life must be opposed. Satan has no hope of a wonderful future, so to follow him is foolish.

God offers something much greater.

Time is short. The Babylonian market system is being set up now.

We need to take our stand against evil and rescue as many as possible until the Lord comes for us.
