Time Text
Acts Chapter 17 00:02:49
Is the truth stranger than fiction?
Are there forces that are shaping the fate of humanity?
Today, we discuss aliens, AI, and the Antichrist with authors, experts, and biblical teachers.
Welcome to the 2025 Ready Now Expo, Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist.
Hello, friends.
You're watching the 2025 Ready Now Expo.
We have an exciting broadcast for you.
We have Derek and Sharon Gilbert with us today.
They are researchers, teachers, authors, and TV and podcast hosts.
Derek and his wife, Sharon, co-host together Unraveling Revelation, which can be seen on the PTL Voice of the Prophets networks on Saturdays at 1230 a.m. Eastern Standard and Sundays at 10.30 p.m.
Derek and Sharon have a new book called The Gates of Hell.
We also have with us today Vicki Joy Anderson.
She attended the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in English with a writing emphasis.
And Mondo, oh boy, can she write.
She's also the author of a book called They Only Come Out at Night, exposing the dark weapon of sleep paralysis.
And we also have on the panel with us today, Tina Griffin, founder of Counter Culture, a mom's show where she interviews experts on a wide range of topics on how to safely navigate today's pop culture.
And Mondo, that's something we definitely have to navigate.
She worked as an actor in Hollywood for more than 10 years, and she is an international speaker and host of the popular program, the Counterculture Mom Show, where she is Rio Mondo, really advancing this mission where she's showing people you don't have to submit to the current culture.
Friends, we have an exciting broadcast for you today.
We're excited.
But first, we're going to set the tune for the show.
We're going to open up our Bibles.
If you have your Bible at home, open up to Acts chapter 2.
If you have it here, or if you have it on your app, go ahead and do that as well.
Excuse me, we're going to go to Acts chapter 17.
We're going to get into LO Acts 2 a little bit later.
Acts chapter 17, verse 10.
If you're there, I'm going to be reading out of the Christian Standard Bible.
It says here, as soon as it was night, the brothers and sisters sent Paul and Silas away to Berea.
Upon arrival, they went into the synagogues of the Jews.
The people here were more noble character than those in Thessalonica because they received the word with eagerness and examined the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
And I want to set the tune for you guys.
If you're at home, friends, you may not agree with every theological take that comes across this screen, but be like the Bereans in Acts chapter 17.
Examine with Scripture 00:09:22
Take everything and take it back to the scripture.
Examine it and cross-reference it.
Make sure it lines up with the word of God.
And friends, we have a panel of people today that have done their due diligence to make sure everything that they are saying lines up with the word of God.
But I still say the responsibility falls back on you, believer.
Open up the word of God.
Cross-examine.
Make sure everything lines up with the word of God.
We've said it many times on the broadcast.
Don't take my word for it.
Definitely don't take Mondo's word for it.
I'm just kidding.
But friends, open up your Bible and make sure you cross-reference.
Go home and do your due diligence.
If nothing else, it is a good opportunity to get into the word of God.
Friends, if you're wondering what this conference is all about, take a look at this video and you're going to get a little teaser of everything we're going to be talking about over the next few days.
Is the Antichrist alive right now?
Because when he comes, he's coming.
It says you will have all been prepared.
The hearts are ready, all prepared for his revelation.
Will artificial intelligence control our lives?
Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man.
I suspect that organic or biological evolution has about come to its end.
Are aliens real?
And have they already visited our planet?
What the American people need to know is that the U.S. military and intelligence community are sitting on a huge amount of visual and other information.
Hi, Rez.
High resolution.
The most intelligent inhabitants of that future world won't be men or monkeys.
They'll be machines.
The world is changing at a rapid pace.
And the biggest questions of our time demand answers.
Why the secrecy if it's really no big deal and there's nothing there?
Why hide it?
Join us for Ready Now Expo 2025.
Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist.
Where faith, preparedness, and revelation collide.
Are we entering the final frontier of humanity?
Very soon, we will be beyond the God of the Bible.
Visit www.readynowexpo.com today and be ready for what's coming next.
Hey, man, friend, I want to say thank you for being on with us today.
This is the 2025.
I want to welcome you to a special episode of the Ready Now Expo.
We're going to be exploring biblical perspective on extraterrestrial phenomenon, examining how occurrences align with scripture.
And additionally, we'll be addressing the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology and its potential role in fulfilling biblical prophecies.
Derek and Sharon Gilbert, Vicki Johannes, and Tina, I want to say thank you for being on the broadcast with us.
God bless you, brother.
How are you doing?
Doing fine, doing fine.
You know, hey, look, if I got to walk around with one of these for a little while, Moses did it for 40 years in the desert.
So I know how to contact you.
Pastor Jim Baker, your friend, founder of the PTL Television Network, founder of this church body here.
He walks around with the cancer.
You're in good company.
Yes.
You're in very, very good company.
Derek, I want to jump right into it, if you don't mind.
I want to ask you the question, why has the subject of aliens gone mainstream?
You know, if you were to bring up aliens 20 years ago in the church, they'd say, where is your tinfoil hat?
Honestly, if you were to bring it up even 10 years ago, they would still look at you kind of suspicious.
But Derek, now we are seeing pastors more addressing it more because we're seeing the phenomenon grow.
Why is it going mainstream?
I think because the principalities and powers behind the scenes are trying to set up the world generally for what could be one aspect of the great deception.
A deception that Jesus warned would be so convincing that even the elect would be fooled if it were possible.
Because the main message that we're hearing here is that we're being visited by these advanced beings from other worlds who are here to help mankind evolve, take the next step in evolution, become more than we are.
And this will be something that Sharon and I will talk about a little later today.
This is an idea that has really begun, really begins in the 19th century with the.
Even before that was Swedenborg.
Well, with Swedenborg, but really Helena Blavatsky kind of kickstarted it in the mid-19th century, Aleister Crowley, and then some other surprising twists and turns.
But it is a message that is being mainstream now where in the December of 2017, when that Tic Tac video that we've all seen, I assume you all have seen that video, the YouTube video, the little tic-tac thing flying around.
This is the audience participation part.
That's right.
Yes, we know.
I don't think anyone's seen it.
We'll play it after this for you guys.
We got a couple other persons seen.
But suddenly, it went from being a fringe topic to being headlines in the New York Times and USA Today, Washington Post, Fox News, MSNB, et cetera.
Now it's everywhere.
And so now it's acceptable to discuss.
That's right.
And you know, we also saw what happened in Florida, I believe it was, where there was an entire mall shutdown.
No explanation given for this.
And they quickly swept it under the rug.
And there still really hasn't been a clear explanation.
I know a lot of weird things happen in Florida.
But friends, I'm telling you, there has to be some more to that.
You know, Derek and Sharon, you guys have given extensive research, extensive time into these subjects.
From a biblical perspective, what are these aliens or these strangers, you know, that may be coming and visiting Earth?
Well, I think that the simplest answer is they represent the fallen realm.
Now, they could be fallen angels.
They could be demons.
They are liars.
And they want mankind to believe that we were never created at all, that God does not exist.
The very being who made them does not exist with the exception of demons.
If you don't understand where demons come from, God did not make them.
They are an aberration.
They should never have existed because angels chose to rebel.
They saw pretty human women and said, I think I'm going to go date her.
Date being a very gentle way of saying what they actually did.
Yes, wow.
They were forced, the women.
And these women gave birth to giants.
Yes, which we see.
Hence the reason for the flood.
That's right.
You have to get rid of all of the giants and also the humans who have been so polluted in their DNA.
Noah was right.
He was correct.
He was perfect in his generations, in his DNA.
I know about DNA.
Yes.
He was perfect.
And so the spirits of these giants, when the bodies were killed, the spirits were freed.
And the Lord said, you are not fit for heaven.
You are not fit for the abyss.
You are going to roam the earth until the end when he will deal with them.
That's why the demons said to Jesus, it's not my time.
That's right.
Somehow the fallen realm have a concept of what the timetable is, which gets back to the aliens.
That's right.
You know, if the fallen realm will have a concept of the day and age and the times that they're living in, believers, we should even more so.
Now, I want to state this very clear.
The Bible says it 100% unequivocally, very clear.
We will not know the day or the hour.
But praise God, we have been given a blueprint where he said we will understand the season.
We will understand the season.
And thank God, because Mondo, I know if we hadn't even been given the, we would know the season, we'd really be a lost world.
Where mankind, I believe, my personal opinion, understand that this world, it's all about language.
And you have to understand the type of language that is being used in the vocabulary because mankind is on the search for the meaning of life.
But my Bible says that we are to discover the meaning of life.
That's right.
What do I mean by that?
When Mary Magdalene was running to the tomb, she was in search for something that was already dead.
But then the angels said, wait a minute.
Not dead anymore.
Why are you searching?
And what changed her trajectory was when she discovered Jesus was alive.
Amen.
What I'm trying to tell you is the world is going to deceive you in allowing you to go into this path of searching for the meaning of life when Jesus himself said, discover the meaning of life.
That's right.
It's him.
That's it.
Don't search.
Discover.
Amen.
You know where you find the meaning of life at the cross, friends.
That is the only place.
Jesus said it very clear and it was abundant.
I am the way.
I am the truth.
And I am the life.
Nobody comes to the Father except through me.
We see in Romans chapter 5, there was death given to the world by Adam, but there is life given by the second Adam.
Thank Jesus for that sacrifice that he gave us on the cross.
The world right now is trying to do everything they can to pollute the cross.
That's why we're seeing blasphemies given across entertainment right now.
We're seeing things that should have really never been portrayed at a mainstream level portrayed right now.
And Tina, I want to ask you from your perspective.
I mean, in the entertainment industry right now, we're seeing portrayals of aliens.
Why Are Aliens Portrayed More? 00:14:56
We're seeing portrayals of the occult.
We're also seeing blasphemies against Christianity.
If you look at every major world religion, there is no one who gets made fun of like Christianity.
There is no one who gets mocked by Christianity.
So, I just want to ask that.
And then also, we're going to get into the, you know, why are they portraying aliens more than they ever have?
Why are they portraying fallen beings more than they have?
But why is Christianity mocked at a higher level than any other religion?
How much time do we have?
That's right.
That's right.
I will just say that I was 12 growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.
And there were six of us kids.
I had two younger brothers and then four friends over, and we saw all a UFO on my mom's birthday.
I believe it was August 2nd, 1993, 94.
Wow.
And at that time, you know, our entertainment wasn't the demonic Luciferian agenda that we see from the Hollywood Hills today.
It was Rescue 9-11 and Unsolved Mysteries.
I even played the theme song of Unsolved Mysteries, Matlock, and MacGyver.
We would play all these theme songs on the piano, right?
So I already had, oh, I wonder if you UFOs actually exist.
And then all six of us saw a UFO and my dad's 300 acres about a half a mile away from us.
And it hovered down over the cornfield and made some really weird noises.
And I knew that in my gut, this was demonic.
You could just feel it.
I couldn't move.
The six of us could not move for a good five minutes when we saw this.
There was a lot of stuff that happened during that period.
And I explained it on our TV show and in a full episode because it seemed like it lasted forever.
But when it took off and just disappeared, it didn't even go up and like leave slowly.
It just lifted back up again and disappeared.
There were fireworks coming off of it, really weird squealing noises.
There was a bunch of Army helicopters that came about 15, 20 minutes later that my parents knew something absolutely happened.
Come to find out years later, about three or four years ago, 20 years later here, that they actually had that sighting listed in the UFO database of what we saw that night.
So going to Hollywood, working in film and TV, and then helping out behind the scenes for a VIP party with Steven Spielberg for the movie series, the documentary series that came out called Taken back in 2004.
That's right.
I had already known for years there's absolutely something demonic happening in our culture, in our world today.
And it is for the setup stage in the end times that I believe the aliens will be the reasoning for the rapture of the church.
And there's many people now that are saying that when we go up, they show up.
And I think that they're warming up our culture today through film and TV, through all of these different documentaries, TV shows, movies, comic books.
Even when you go to different amusement parks, you see aliens as fun, amazing, cute little beings with these green bodies and wild eyes, when in reality, I think it's massively demonic.
And many people will be deceived in the end times, even right now, but after we're gone, with the fact that it's aliens that took us instead of the Lord who actually did exactly what he said he would do.
Amen.
Wow.
You know, there's a, yeah, we see a lot of believers, especially a younger generation.
I can account and kind of speak on their behalf where they are saying, hey, you know what?
What if we're not alone?
What if there are other beings?
What if there is life on other planets?
You know, all the questions that plague a generation.
I feel like most generations have asked these questions.
Our generation has the fault of having the internet.
So you can go down a deeper rabbit hole where it may have been a fleeting thought at one point and you'd have to go out of your way to find literature on it.
We now have a small, you know, six-inch device in our pocket at any time that'll really, friends, feed you whatever narrative it is you want to be finding.
That is the issue.
There is, you know, programming that is being given as well.
When I was in high school, I was in high school in the late 60s.
And there were books, lots of books coming up.
Boy, I'm wearing a hat, by the way, in case you're wondering because my eyes are super sensitive to light.
You're sure.
You can do whatever you want.
Everybody, get your hats.
That's all we're at.
That's right.
There were books out about the new age.
It was all the race.
We're all reading horoscopes and new age and all this and that.
And I remember reading one of these New Age books.
I'd been a believer since I was very young, three, four years old.
But I wanted to see what these were saying.
And I had friends who were falling for it.
And one of the theories was that the star system was, we were moving as the earth into a region of the star system which was going to flood us with particular types of cosmic rays,
upgrade everybody into this new age fala la sort of everybody loving on each other and singing commercials at the top of hills for high places.
High places.
Yeah, interesting that.
Yeah, that's right.
I won't name the soft drink, but it was a soft drink.
But it was said in this book that it could not currently happen because the Christians were in the way.
Amen.
And when the Christians were removed, then and only then would the upgrade occur.
And so they wanted to get rid of us.
And I will say this, hey, until Jesus Christ decides to rip through those clouds in all his glory or we go home, I plan on being a Christian who stays in the way.
Praise God.
We're going to continue to do that.
We're going to continue to do that.
You know, Vicki, I want to talk to you.
You know, considering your research into spiritual warfare, you have a wonderful book.
I want to talk about this, but the times we're living in, even things like sleep paralysis, how can the deception of aliens fall into even that realm of sleep paralysis?
There is a direct link.
And what I'm saying is actually controversial because for decades, you didn't mix sleep paralysis with serious MUFO-related UFO research.
It was kind of one of these don't get your chocolate in my peanut butter kind of situations, right?
But through my research, and it took me quite a bit of time to figure this out, sleep paralysis is an abduction scenario.
It's a different type of abduction scenario.
There's a different agenda.
The way I like to describe it is it's all the same corporation, but it's different departments.
It's compartmentalized.
So the people that work in the cafeteria don't necessarily know what people are doing on floor five, right?
But it's an abduction scenario.
Both of them involve screen memories where you're not really seeing what you think you're seeing.
They both involve missing time.
They both involve coming back and having remembrances of things, but really not an accurate remembrance of the whole entire scenario.
In general, this is a broad brush, but in general, as most of us know by now, the UFO agenda, the abductions are primarily medical.
We hear a lot about cloning and the medical experiments.
The astral realm abductions are exactly what you were just talking about, Sharon.
We are getting more of an intellectual class of people.
So not so much your genetics, but your intellect, maybe even your bloodline, which does play in a couple times.
We're going to train you to be an influencer, and you're going to come down and you're going to spread this message of the new world order.
And the best place that I can point, just, I mean, the Bible as a whole is going to give you the picture, but Psalm 91, it really gives a phenomenal distinction as to what the Hebraic definition is of someone who's protected from spiritual warfare.
It's not just someone of a particular denomination or someone who led a good moral life or someone who goes to church.
It is someone who is in covenant with Jesus Christ.
And when we're in covenant with him, we see this in Psalm 91.
We see it in Psalm 27.
We see it in Song Solomon 5.2.
We see it in Revelation 3.20 that when he is our bridegroom and he carries us over the threshold into his wedding tent, we become invisible to the forces of evil.
He's the ultimate cosmic Faraday cage.
Amen.
That's a good way to say it.
Can I say something before we go?
Where can people find your book?
You can find my book on lamarzuli.net.
Can you elaborate on the historical context of aliens' encounters and how they might relate to my favorite topic, Bible prophecy?
Yeah, it's interesting that the modern UFO phenomenon really began just about the time Israel was becoming a nation.
1947, when Israel was granted a right to establish a Jewish homeland by the United Nations, and then 1948 when they declared their independence.
1947 was also the timing of the Roswell event, July 4th weekend in Roswell, New Mexico.
But a couple of weeks before that, in the Pacific Northwest, there was a pilot by the name of Kenneth Arnold who saw what he called these flying wings that moved as though they were like saucers being skipped across the water, which is where we get the idea of flying saucers.
He didn't describe them as looking like saucers.
That's just how they moved.
And some headline writer took that and ran with it.
And I think we need, by the way, to separate the kind of incident that Tina described earlier, seeing something mysterious in the sky, with what Vicki and Sharon were discussing, alien encounters or abductions.
Those are really two separate phenomena because what Tina may have seen, for all we know, could have been a secret government project that they didn't want people to know about.
But the alien contactee abductee phenomenon is definitely demonic.
And since the very beginning, and this is something that's in the new book that I was honored to co-author with Donna Howell and Ellie Anderson, Destination Earth, we talk about and show how the intelligence communities of the United States and presumably every other nation as well have guided the narrative, shaped the narrative since the very earliest UFO encounters in 1947.
In fact, the first UFO report filed back to the FBI under the designation SMX, like a literal X-File back in 1947, was an FBI agent named Guy Bannister who later shows up in New Orleans associated with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Interesting.
Yeah, so the intelligence community, for whatever reason, has been shaping how we perceive this whole phenomenon for some reason.
I wonder why that would be.
I don't know.
But the bottom line to all of this is that, as you point out, the three big questions that every generation has wrestled with since the garden, where do we come from?
Why are we here?
What happens to us when we die?
We've got the answer in the word of God.
Amen.
But there are many people who are not finding it there or they don't think they're going to find it there.
And so they're happy to go other places.
We were in Roswell for the 70th anniversary of the Roswell crash.
And we saw all kinds of booths and displays set up to tarot card readings, palm readings, healing crystals, et cetera, and so on.
No recruiters for MIT or Caltech, which is weird.
You'd think if they're there to find out how the aliens crossed the stars, you'd try to find the next generation of astrophysicists or aeronautical engineers.
But no, these are people who are looking for the answers to those questions.
And the new agers behind the modern UFO phenomenon are more than happy to give it to them.
So, True, you were hearing an interesting story about when we were there.
Mike Heiser was there giving a presentation.
Praise God.
And Josh Peck went with us.
We were filming Mike and also others, and in fact, Joe Jordan and CE4 Research Group.
We were interviewing those who had been abducted and those who were working with them to actually explain the Christian answers to when you've been abducted.
So we were filming all of that.
We are in a room with Mike Heiser, and the three of us from Skywatch TV are with Mike.
Closed room, no open windows, not one fly in the room, right?
Within five minutes, there were a couple of dozen flies.
And then more flies.
And then more flies.
And we're trying, if they get on our own, you know, anywhere on us, we don't swat them because we don't want them to get on the mics.
Where did those flies come from?
It was a sealed room inside of a hotel.
And for some reason, it's like living inside of a Stephen King novel.
And by the time we were done, they were landing on the microphones.
In fact, one point you could hear as it landed on the microphone for the guests.
Flies are often associated with demonic activity.
And we believe that bringing all of that new age stuff to a 70-year anniversary of Roswell, which should have been a scientific exposition.
That's right.
Instead, they were going all in for the fallen realm.
That's right.
You know, we've seen this.
We've talked about it here on the broadcast.
There are churches across America as well as churches across the globe who are doing what they call Christian Terric card reading.
And friends, they say there's nothing Christian about that.
It's demonic.
They're doing a Christian angel board.
That's what they're calling it.
And I say Christian, I throw my quotes up in the air, angel boards, which is just a different shade of color of a Ouija board.
Friends, you don't need a board and a piece of wood to talk to the Holy Spirit.
He lives inside of you if you're a believer.
This is crazy, right?
This is what else they're doing.
They're lining up false prophets to give each person a word.
And usually it's associated with the cost as well.
Absolutely.
Friends, the gospel is free.
Come on, praise God.
The gospel's free.
You can get a word from the Holy Spirit if he wants to give you a word.
You know, we saw, I had a friend of mine, and it was during my time in the army, and I got a lot of interesting characters, but he had the crystals, you know, the rocks.
And he said, oh, you know, these give me, he's an proclaimed atheist.
Belief in Aliens Through Ages 00:04:16
You know, these give me good luck and hope and this and that.
I said, brother, I don't believe in the stones you have there.
I believe in the rock, the chief cornerstone who's rejected by the world.
And that's all we need, friends, is we need the rock of Jesus Christ.
And I can't stress that enough through these conversations as we go.
We are going to be asking hard questions, and we are getting these hard questions answered from a biblical perspective.
But never lose sight of the most important thing that is Jesus Christ, our foundation, our rock, the one we can lean on, our friend, our counselor, our good king, our Lord of Lords.
I can't go on enough about how much we love Jesus and the finished work of the cross.
So don't lose sight.
As the world may seem doomy and gloomy, and there's a lot of things that we can't explain.
There's one thing that we can rest assured in with full confidence.
It is that Jesus died on the cross for us, and we are now heirs to the throne with him when we say yes to the good gift he gave us.
Because, you know, a lot of people can get anxiety over these types of subjects.
A lot of people say, that's going to be, you know, there's a lot of anxiety there.
I said, no anxiety because we understand that the word of God is sufficient to give us every answer we would need.
And that's what we're doing.
We're just pulling from the word to say, you know what?
Let's go back to the original languages.
Let's go back to their cultures.
Let's figure out what these things actually mean.
You know, Sharon, you studied ancient cultures.
I want to go into that if we can.
I want to talk about their connections to modern UFO phenomena and how understanding these links can offer us hope and guidance in this world where they're trying to take hope and trying to make sure people aren't guided to the truth.
Going all the way back to the descent of the watchers to Mount Hermon, they presented themselves as, hey, we're here to teach you.
We're just here to help shepherd you along, which may well have been why they were sent, because they may have been sent by the Lord to help humanity post being exiled from the garden.
Well, when they got down here, for whatever reason, and Derek and I have theories about this, but for whatever reason, they decided to disobey.
And as I said, hey, those girls are pretty.
Let's go date them.
Date them.
And they ended up, but I'll tell you what, after the flood, Babel, the event there, languages were one language.
Suddenly we've got 70 or more languages.
And the Lord does send down, and this I think argues for the fact that he sent down what we call the watchers.
He sent down angels to look after these humans.
These angels decided, hey, let's take some worship.
It feels pretty good.
Let's tell them we're the ones who made them.
And some of them will say, we're from that star or that star or that star over there.
And we're going to come back.
If you ever go away, I've got a son who was born and he'll come from that star.
The belief in aliens as having been our creators and visiting the earth over and over again goes way back, way back.
And you see the imagery in these stones when you take a look at these archaeological sites.
Derek and I went to the British Museum and we got to see lots of them.
And many times they have the same little pine cones and little purses and they have the little daisy watches.
And they represent their control of mankind and their ability to play with the tree of life.
They control all of us.
And when that gets into your eye, I mean, what you study, the abductions, the appearances, the sightings, they want us to see them.
They want us to know they're here.
We can't see them anymore.
So they have to find a way to get our attention because they do not want us to believe in Yahweh, our true Creator.
Supporting Christian Television Ministry 00:11:55
Wow.
And Tina, the entertainment industry is powerful.
Two hours can change ideologies and culture like never before.
We've never seen anything like it in our lifetime.
As a Christian, how do we find hope and maintain discernment in the time that we're in right now when we are confronted almost daily on the portrayals of aliens and the conflict that we have with biblical teachings as Christians?
How do we respond to that?
I have traveled this globe for about 25 years talking about demon-possessed celebrities, Nephilim, what I've witnessed firsthand while working in Hollywood.
And I will tell you that when I was 16 and placed my faith in the Lord back in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I told the Lord when I was walking up and saying, yes, I'm 110% sold out.
I'm willing to take a bullet for the cause.
And let me tell you something.
should have been dead 10 times over in the last two decades alone of sharing what I've been sharing.
From demons trying to steer me into a semi on the way to speak at a youth conference in Boston and hearing the demonic laughter when my soon-to-be fiancé called me and said, I have to pray for you right now.
We both heard the demon on the phone.
And I shouldn't have survived that situation to South America speaking to young kids where demons literally came into that room, lifted and left and windows shattered.
I could tell you 20 stories right now of what happened.
What has got me through all of that?
I would do it all over again because I'm sold out for the Lord.
And what I told the Lord when I was 16, I'm willing to take a bullet for the cause.
I would rather know the demonic activity happening around me and expose it in every facet possible than to not know and have my head buried.
So what has happened as a result of speaking all over the place is I have a bunch of amazing young world changers today as God's FBI agents where they are seeing what's going on in our culture, do see the massive deception, but God has given them clarity on exactly what they're seeing.
And you can't unsee it if we're following the Lord.
So I would say absolutely word of God every single day.
When you're talking to your friends, invite them to Bible study groups, ask them questions, because a lot of times kids have questions, but if you start getting the conversation going, they will start to think different.
They'll bury themselves because they'll realize their answers don't even make sense today.
Make sure you're in a Bible-believing church that is strong on fire.
If there's an issue with your church, bring it up to the leadership and ask questions, but make sure it lines up with the word of God.
Also, we have the counterculture mom show I've been hosting for four years.
We just shot our 800th episode on all of these topics.
Where can people watch that?
They can watch it.
Go to counterculturemom.com, counterculturemom.com, and watch the shows there.
We're on 40 platforms, 25 TV platforms on American Family Radio every single week.
And these are topics that parents have come up to me and bawled on my shoulder for two decades of speaking, saying, just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
Read the word of God.
God will never say, I'm going to wait a couple more weeks before I give you that answer.
He wants us to seek because he will tell us immediately and then he wants us to share it, not just sit on that information.
So it's very critical.
Last but not least, we have a Counterculture Mom app.
Thousands of parents are on it.
It's dirt cheap.
Apple takes half of that cost.
But go on there and grab the Counterculture Mom app because pop culture is constantly changing.
We have a team of 20 people with the Counterculture Ministries.
Pop culture yesterday is old.
Today it's new.
And we blast out notifications so parents can feel like they have a handle on what's going on with their kids.
We don't just blast them with run from this movie.
We are saying, pray for this project.
Grab this video game.
It's actually great.
Make sure they only play an hour or two a week max.
Get them outdoors.
Watch for the GMO and foods.
Make sure you're teaching them homeschool education.
What are the great courses we can trust?
And who are the people we can't turn into?
But that's because for two decades, people have told me what their problems are.
And now this program and the app can give them solutions.
But God will always give us a discernment.
Ask for it.
He will give it.
And a lot of kids are on fire today because they have seen from previous generations of us not doing a great job parenting.
And a lot of times it is because we're overwhelmed or we keep our head in the sand.
It's now time to be on fire teaching our kids and having them come alongside us with us doing ministry.
So they're not themselves me, me, me focused, but Christ in me focused.
When we give them a mission and we get to see their identity in Christ as a young kid, they're on fire.
When you get an atheist that runs up to me after hearing me speak and they're like, this, I see the deception and they throw their cell phone and it shatters because they no longer want to look at pop culture.
You have a person that will never shut up about Jesus as a result.
They are on fire.
Now is the time.
An alien church just opened in Los Angeles.
What?
There's an alien church just opened in Los Angeles, and the founder is saying that the aliens are going to come on this planet like we've never seen in the year 2027.
I am 99.9% convinced he's going to come back during the Feast of Trumpets, and I have my reasons for that.
Wow.
But I have a span of years, and you said earlier, we don't know the daytime or hour, but I always have asked the Lord since the age of 16, can you please tell me the week?
I believe we are so close.
I know the season.
And that's why we see the onslaught.
Wow.
Amen.
Wow.
The word of God's clear when you see the tree is starting to bloom.
You know summer is near.
Friends, we're given the season, and praise God, we are.
Thank the Lord that we are given that.
Christian television has a very short time left before they start changing the laws on Christian television.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I'm passionate.
Ricky and I are passionate to do and follow through on what our father, your friend Jim Baker, has founded for years, the pioneer of Christian television.
It looks different because society is looking differently, but it doesn't mean that the support has to stop there.
Amen.
Christian television has a short time.
I'm talking to the experts, and they're panicking behind the scenes because artificial intelligence and the brains behind it are trying to shut our voices down.
Yes.
But you know what makes a difference?
You.
That's right.
You make that difference.
You take a stand in supporting Christian television, not just our ministry.
We want you to support every platform that Christians are preaching the gospel, the true gospel.
That's right.
But I want to tell you something.
Your support is what helps us continue to move forward, even though it looks very dark out there.
And a lot of people in Christian television don't like to do what we do.
You know why?
Because they're afraid.
Dad will say they're chickens.
But I want to tell you something.
We have faith in the Lord that your support is going to continue to help us expand this program, help us bring more voices like the panel that you're hearing from today.
But we need your help every single day.
And if you haven't become a partner today, pray about standing with us.
Maybe you stopped giving because in 2020 we went through a situation, Ricky, where they literally handcuffed the ministry on how to process your giving.
And a lot of you stopped giving because you thought you were giving, but come to find out that we're not giving anymore.
We were getting handcuffed.
And our dad has taught us that when we need help, we can call on you.
Amen.
Of course, call on Jesus, but to call on our friends.
And we're calling you today to step out in faith.
Call the number right now, 1-888-988-1588.
Or go to the website, jimbakershow.com and sign up to be a monthly partner.
Or better yet, if you want to shop or affiliate programs, do it today because every time you buy something like this product right here, Grid Down Chowdown, you're supporting this ministry to continue to preach the gospel around the world.
Amen.
We believe in preparation.
You guys probably know if you know anything about us, we believe in preparation.
Spiritual preparation, first and foremost, make sure that you know Jesus Christ.
Make sure that if you were to die today, you would be full confidence, rest assured.
You'd hear, well done, my good and faithful servant.
But we also believe in physical preparation.
We have seen the world go through turmoil and we have hands-on got to go and be there for the people in Florida, be there for the people in Texas, be there for the people of Missouri who have gone through natural disasters and we can take truckloads of food, truckloads of clean water, truckloads of clean clothes.
And we've done it through your support.
We want to continue to do that because, friends, we believe we're living in a day where those things are just going to ramp up, where more natural disasters are going to happen.
And we think the church should be fully responsible for stepping in and filling that gap.
Friends, you shouldn't rely on the government to fill it.
I worked for the government for many years.
The government is not going to save you, friends.
It is not going to be the White House.
It's going to be the lighthouse.
It's going to be the church body that saves humanity because we have the thing that can save it.
It's Jesus Christ.
And that's it.
That's right.
Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.
We're going to give people the word, but we're going to give them a clean meal.
We're going to give them clean water.
We're going to give them clean clothes.
We're going to visit those in prison.
We're going to take care of the widows.
Why?
That's what Jesus told us to do.
And friends, we believe that if Jesus told us to do it, it's probably a worthy cause fighting.
And you know what?
Know your assignment this season.
This is a word for you and the audience.
Amen.
This is a word for you at home.
Know your assignment this season.
Don't allow anybody to distract you.
Oh, but God told me this.
Stop the nonsense.
God called Ricky and I to be on television.
We're not good looking.
Maybe he is.
Not me.
But I want to tell you something.
When God has anointed you, you move into your assignment and allow God to use your anointing to prepare you to send you out because the time, Ricky, is so short.
And I feel like there's a sounding of an alarm that the church has got to wake up.
Dad used to always say to us, it's later than what you guys think.
And if I happen to go home with the Lord, I want you boys to keep preaching, keep using television.
God has anointed the two boys, and he called us the Baker Boys.
You know, we look a little different, right?
Amen, for that.
But it doesn't stop.
And by the way, to all of you here and you watching, thank you.
Thank you on behalf of Pastor Jim and Lori Baker for standing with us.
Amen.
Thank you for believing in Ricky and I to really, we're not replacing anybody.
Just keep moving forward.
We're moving forward.
Amen.
And your friend Jim Baker has always told us, boys, if something happens to me, keep preaching Jesus Christ to the very end.
That's right.
No matter what happens, keep sounding the alarm.
Keep preaching Matthew 24.
Amen.
That's right.
But it's because of you standing with our father, our mother, and supporting him for all of these years.
And now you're supporting Ricky and I.
And we want to thank you.
And don't stop.
We have an urgent message to give you, and we can't do it alone.
Amen.
That's right.
And we're not just doing it for the generation now.
We're doing it for our next generations.
Grandparents, you're doing it for your grandchildren.
Parents, you're doing it for your children.
We want to ensure that the next generation is not going to be souped in deception from the world, that we can actually have a platform and a basis to say, listen, the word of God has answers to all of your questions.
Faster AI Feeding on Data 00:04:38
And one of those big questions right now is, yes, aliens.
Yes, the Antichrist.
Well, Mondo, AI.
AI is in.
I mean, we've been using soft AI for decades, friends, Google.
You go in there and you start saying, what is?
And it finishes your sentence.
We've been using soft AI for many, many years.
We are now moving into a branding AI that can now pass the bar at a 98% success rate, that can now write academic papers in 30 seconds that are now going to be peer-reviewed by itself and considered accurate, which can also become scary.
But, Sherry, I want to ask you, with AI moving at such an advanced rate, I'll say this.
It was a few years ago that they're saying that it was doubling its information every two years.
Every two years, it was able to double its own what they call conscious.
Now they're saying every two hours, it is able to double the amount of intelligence in which it has.
Friends, there is no math that can quantify.
There's no math that can say, well, this is how much intelligence it has now.
And look at all the data we're feeding it.
And we're, yeah, and we're feeding it data is the thing.
We're constantly feeding it.
And so it's learning faster and faster and faster.
The faster it learns, the faster it grabs all of our data.
Everything we do practically now is somehow data-driven and data resultant.
And the AIs, yeah, they're growing.
In fact, we've already passed the singularity.
The theoretical singularity point was when the AIs wake up, essentially, but they begin to program themselves and create offspring.
It's already happening.
Well, and now they can order themselves parts whenever they know that it's breaching its lifespan.
You just send an email saying I need this.
That's right.
If it's got CPUs or GPUs or that's what I'm doing.
And if someone threatens to unplug them, they just take that person out of the way.
Maybe just by putting them on vacation.
That's right.
Email, you're on vacation now.
Or maybe it's a vacation that lasts a little longer than that.
This is a reason that we opened our most recent book called The Gates of Hell with a fictional scenario that Sharon wrote about an AI that goes rogue.
It becomes self-aware, goes rogue, but hides its true capabilities until it's too late.
And yeah, one by one, in the story that she wrote, you see the team that creates this AI.
One person's pacemaker misfunctions.
Another person's GPS takes them down a road that turns out to, you know, a dead-end road.
Things like this.
We're living in a time now where artificial intelligence is programming itself.
It's writing its own code, which in turn is writing better code.
That's right.
And we are dealing with something that not only is able to improve itself, but it lies.
There was a study that just came out last week where researchers found that it would lie.
And not only that, that when the AI, the large language model, was threatened with punishment if it lied, it didn't get it to tell the truth.
What it did was made it better.
Made it better lying.
That's right.
And the problem with it, just like a child, the only difference here is you're dealing with something that thinks billions or trillions of times faster than your kids trying to get away with something.
That's right.
That's right.
You know, I've said this many times.
I'll say it again here just for the sake of those listening.
I believe that there will be another giant cancel culture movement, but it won't be from human hands.
What it'll be is if you don't align with a governmental ideology, if you don't align with a particular system, if you don't align with a particular viewpoint, it'll just begin to curate and create mass lies about individuals and push it out on the internet as truth.
And friends, I believe we're going to see that.
That's already happening, but also you will get the programming of individuals who have sort of a leaning against Christianity.
Their information, their online experience will be curated by these AIs in a way that it helps to confirm that bias.
So now Christians are portrayed as even more and more evil, and that person becomes a person capable of doing harm.
Vicki, I want to ask you, you know, you're diving into spiritual warfare as you really study this, you fought through it, you have a great relationship with the Lord.
What are the potential dangers of AI for the next generation as they really grow up, seven, eight, nine years old, hyper intelligent with computers, but now because of AI, they're simply hyper intelligent.
What are the dangers of AI?
Yeah, AI ties in directly to my field of research, especially with sleep paralysis, as there is now numerous, endless, countless, and growing technologies created specifically for sleep and dreams.
Brain Entrainment Techniques 00:11:40
I'll mention just a couple of them.
Most people have probably heard about binaural beats.
They're apps.
You can go onto YouTube.
People are falling asleep to certain frequencies.
Much of this is brain entrainment.
It was developed by Robert Monroe, the head of the Monroe Institute.
He has since passed.
The Monroe Institute is still going strong.
He was dubbed the father of modern astral projection.
He's the one in the 80s that trained the U.S. military, the Army, to remote view.
And what brain entrainment is, is you are literally through frequency training your brain to hum at frequencies that the brain was not designed by God to buzz at.
And what it does is it puts you into deep theta meditative states.
This is the opening of the pineal gland.
This is direct communication with the spirit realm.
This is invitation.
This is an open door.
This is permission.
A second piece of technology put out by a company called Prophetic AI.
It is an upstart company, young millennials.
It is called the Halo.
It is a headband that you sleep with that recognizes pulses as you sleep.
And when you go into lucid states, it opens up your mind and keeps you in a prolonged, lucid state so you can interact with these entities.
Thankfully, this is out of the price range of most of our kids.
It's in development.
It's going to be about two grand.
But we have to understand that these things are invitations.
And as soon as we give this permission, you put a headband like that on when you go to bed, you are giving full permission.
And let me tell you, it is so easy to open these doors.
And it is 10 times harder to close them, even once you've recognized what the open door is.
You know, we see biblical passages about that as well.
You know, friends, if there is a demonic stronghold in your life and you cast it out of your life, that thing isn't going to just leave and try to leave you alone.
No, it's going to come back with its friends and it's going to try to break back into your home.
It is our responsibility as Christians to close the doors and batten down the hatches and close those windows so we no longer let demonic entities into our homes, into our temples.
Why?
Because it's the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
And where the Holy Spirit is, there is not room for anymore.
The Holy Spirit fills that entire home.
But also, you're responsible for your children and grandchildren.
I want to tell you, you absolutely are.
Make sure that you know what they're watching.
Make sure you know the content that they're putting in their eyes, their eye gates that immediately go into their heart.
Make sure you know what they're listening to, that it's not vulgar and profane.
Because friends, if I tell you right now, you know, they used to worry about like 13, 14, 15-year-olds getting access to the internet and becoming addicted to the internet or addicted to internet pornography.
But friends, that starts at six and seven now.
It's going to begin to start at four and five.
And that may sound ridiculous.
People say, oh, that sounds ridiculous.
No, friends, they're going to get them.
Why?
Because the enemy wants to get addiction in as quickly as he possibly can because he knows it'll be a stronghold.
That is not just a lesser images addiction of pornography.
That is an addiction of the internet as well.
Because whenever you go through hard and stressful times, what do we see a generation do?
We don't see them once again falling on their knees and saying, God, I am in a hard place.
I'm riddled with anxiety.
I feel depression pouring out of my life.
They go like this instantaneously.
Take me away from it.
I'll start watching five-second videos.
Take me away from it.
I'll start watching 10-second reels.
I'll start watching whatever it is to what?
I want to disassociate.
That's a term within the next generation that is really being branded.
It's heavy.
Disassociation isn't just something that is to be taken lightly.
Ensure you know what's going into the eye gates of the next generation.
Stand in the gap for them and say, you know what?
Instead of going and spending all day on Saturday on the video game, let's go outside.
Let's go for a hike.
Let's spend quality time together.
Instead of me going out in the workshop and working alone, bring your grandson.
Bring your granddaughter.
Teach them a task or a skill that they can have for the rest of their life.
I can't encourage you enough.
Grandparents, you truly have the power.
Parents, you truly have the ability to change the next generation for the better.
Tell them about your relationship with Jesus Christ every chance you get it.
Tell them about how at one point in your life you were in a dark place and Jesus took you out and put you into a light place.
Talk about how you used to be depressed, but because you have Jesus, you now have joy in your life.
Talk about when you were younger, you had struggles, but you overcame them through the power of the cross.
I promise you, it may look like it's going in one ear and out the other, but it's setting in their heart.
The word of God's very clear.
Train a child in the way they're supposed to go.
When they're old, they won't depart from it.
Some of you may say, Well, I've had prodigal sons and they haven't come home.
But friends, don't lose hope.
Keep fighting.
Keep standing in the gap, even if it's painful.
Keep standing in the gap, even if it feels embarrassing.
Keep standing in the gap, even if the devil tries to lie and put shame and guilt on you.
No, friends, stand in the gap for your family.
I never want to get to the place where I'm about to be, you know, transferred from earth to heaven, eternity, and think, I wish I would have prayed more for my family.
I wish I would have called my family more who doesn't live a Christian lifestyle and told them about Jesus.
I never want to have that regret.
And friends, I had a reality a few years ago, realized I wasn't doing enough for the cause of Christ.
And that's not workspace.
That's saying, I need to get out there and tell more people because we overcome by what?
The blood of the Lamb.
That's Jesus Christ.
But we overcome by the word of our testimony.
Friends, Jesus isn't going to force me to go and share my testimony with anyone.
That takes me stepping out of an introvert bubble and saying, you know what?
I'm going to tell someone why my life has been transformed through the good and gracious gift that is the blood of the Lamb.
And you said it earlier.
When you became a Christian, I was willing to take a bullet for the gospel.
Friends, I would raise a hand because I believe in acts of faith here.
How many people here believe in Jesus Christ, the only way to heaven?
Come on, praise God.
We love our lives not even unto death.
Remember that first moment when you gave your life to the Lord, and like you said, you would have done anything.
That's why I believe it's so important to every single day return to your first love.
Go back and remember that moment you said yes and how sweet it was.
Remember whenever those chains were broken off your life and how freeing it was.
Remember whenever he took you out of the muck and mire and cleaned you with his blood, how redeemed you fell.
Never forget that moment.
The devil will do everything he can to remove that moment from your mind.
Bring it back up as often as you can because what does that do?
That's putting your foot back on the head of the devil and putting him where he belongs, under your feet.
Friends, you are the head and not the tail.
You're above and not beneath.
Why?
Because Christ's finished work of the cross belongs to you.
It's been given to you.
It's a gift for you.
All we have to do is say yes and accept it.
Friends, if you're at home and you have your Bible, open up your Bible.
I'm going to go to 2 Timothy right here, and it's chapter 2, verse 3.
It says, Share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life.
He seeks to please his commanding officer.
Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he completes according to the rules.
The hardworking farmer ought to be the first to get a share of the crops.
Consider what I say: for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
Remember, Jesus Christ, risen from the dead and descended from David according to the gospel, for which I suffered to the point of being bound like a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.
This is why I endure all things for the elect, so that they may obtain salvation, which is in Jesus Christ with eternal glory.
This saying is trustworthy.
And friends, if you take nothing else, take this right here.
For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
If we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we deny him, he will also deny us.
And if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Praise God.
We serve a God that is faithful, that is just, that is righteous, that is pure, whose scales are always balanced.
You may be going through a trial, a tribulation, a life circumstance, and you're saying, Lord, it feels like the world is against me.
But rest assured, his scales are always balanced pure.
He is always pure.
He's always righteous.
He's always holy.
He's always good.
If you go to church here at Morningstad, you'll hear that every single Sunday, multiple times of service.
I'll never get tired of talking about the attributes of God and who he is.
And friends, I never want you to grow tired of that either.
If you need to give your life to Jesus, there's never been a better day.
We're not promised someday.
If you woke up today, the Lord has given you a gift that is today.
Call our number.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
We want to pray that salvation prayer with you.
We want to help you find a good Bible-believing church in your area that teaches the full word of God.
Because I believe that we are on the cusp of a great revival.
I believe, honestly, we're on the cusp of a great reformation as well.
But these two things will not be birthed without first a repentance movement.
Will not be birthed without the church crying out and saying, Lord, forgive us for straying away from our first love.
Church, whenever we find the first love again, we'll find unity.
And when we find unity, the world will not be able to stop the cause of Jesus Christ.
