We all have our idiosyncrasies, the little things we do that are unique to each of us. My wife, Barbara, tells the story of a preacher back in the days when most all preachers wore ties. He had the habit of pulling on his tie while preaching. I would imagine that once he got wound up, and the more fervently he preached, the more frequently and the more forcefully he pulled on his tie. He must have had a different kind of knot rather than a regular tie knot, plus, the tie he was wearing was probably of a narrow design made of a coarse material. The story goes that as he preached, with his frequent pulls on the tie, the tighter it noosed around his neck. In time, the man was having a hard time breathing, until he finally began choking. With that, his attempts to loosen his tie failed. He was now standing before the congregation struggling for breath. He was already short of breath due to his fervent preaching, and now, the more he struggled to loosen his tie, the less breath he had left. In a few moments it became evident to all that the man was in a life-or-death struggle, and something had to be done very quickly. One of the faithful quickly came forward and brandished a sharp pocket knife. With a deft move of the blade, the strangle-hold tie was cut from around the preacher’s neck, and he gladly found his breath again. Thank God for the quick reactions of the brotherhood! It would have been embarrassing to read the headlines, Preacher Dies from Self-Strangulation in the Pulpit. The article would start out, “The people thought he went out in the Spirit; but he lay there and died.” We all have our quirps! We all have things in our lives that are less than perfect. God might deal with us about our “things,” but one thing for sure, God will use us even if we have these things in our life that are less than perfect. When it becomes evident that we need to change some things, then most certainly that is exactly what we are to do—change them! But God will use us as we are. As we give ourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ day-by-day, what needs to be changed will be known to us, one way or the other. We trust His faithfulness to fulfill His purpose in our lives. As we yield, totally surrendering unto His Lordship in our life, we will know the things in our life that need to be changed. I think our preacher friend figured out that he needed to get away from that little habit he carried in his preaching. Maybe he needed to learn a different knot, or wear a different texture of material for a tie. Bottom line: God will use us as we are; and we are to be open to change for Him to use us even more.

“David”
The production of “David” by the Sight and Sound Theater in Branson, Missouri proved to be very rewarding. If expecting a good show, you will not be disappointed. It is performed with excellence. The story is brought to life with personal lessons applied by the Spirit of God, which for me, brought tears of gratitude for God’s goodness and faithfulness to His Word. When the music fills the auditorium with the actors all over the building singing about the Lord being our Shepherd, it is like you are sitting in the halls of heaven where the praise never ceases. The show was very educational to me. I have been reading and studying God’s Word for about sixty years, and it never stood out to me there were other giants slain other than Goliath (2 Samuel 21: 15-22). That was one of those things in the Word that I just read over and never caught its significance. It is easy to do that. But when the Spirit of God brings your attention to it, it can be life-changing. I saw that God raises up a giant-slayer to make the way for others to become giant-slayers. David serves as a type of Christ, who is THE “giant-slayer.” The Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated how to do it and gave others hands-on training so they could do it. He then poured the same Spirit with which He was anointed out upon the church with the Word of promise—your sons and daughters will prophesy with signs and wonders so that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2: 16-21). The outworking of that outpouring was then demonstrated throughout the book of Acts. This is the pattern the church is to follow. Jesus is the original giant-slayer for the church. He put away sin, defeated the devil, and he gave the promise of the outpouring of His Spirit with supernatural power. This is not something to just read over. This is something we each are to personally experience. Jesus said believers would do the same works He did and more (John 14: 12-14). The early church demonstrated this. There has been a remnant throughout the ages who believed and did it. Now is the time for sons and daughters to receive the outpouring of God’s Spirit through the Lord Jesus Christ and rise up and “just do it” in the name of the Lord. This is not a particular denominational belief or experience. This is Bible. It has been there all the time. With our religious glasses on, we can just read over it and receive nothing from it. When we remove our religious glasses and our religious “Saul’s armor,” and we just take the sling of the Spirit of God with the stone of the Word of God, by faith in God, we can bring down the giants. The warriors of David, inspired by the Spirit of God, fought the giants and won. This is for the church today.
We Need the Lord!
In college days, in about 1970, my ride was a 1950 Chevrolet two door hard top that my Uncle James Hall gave me. There were many escapades in that vehicle. One was a trip back from north western Arkansas one night after a buddy and I had attended a church youth meeting. Coming down one of those curvy hills, the lights went out. Instantly I memorized the position I was holding the wheel and we both cried out “Jesus!” The lights came back on. It happened again. Again, we cried out “Jesus!” They stayed on the rest of the night. God got a couple of dumb college kids out of a bad situation. Past college, I was hitchhiking and ended up in Kansas. I was riding a horse on a narrow path between a deep ditch and a barb wire fence, just big enough for the horse. The horse spooked and reared up. I lunged forward grabbing his neck with my arms. He went straight back down and we walked out the path back onto the road. In 1973, I was learning to fly an airplane. I pulled some dumb stunts doing that, too. I was doing turns around a point, less than a thousand feet above the ground. For training purposes, the object is to hold the wing tip on a fixed point on the ground while you fly around it while you maintain about a 45-degree angle in the air. Had I slipped sideways losing vacuum on my wings, at that altitude the chance of recovering was virtually nil. Chance of recovery from a higher altitude was much greater. It was probably somewhere around 1980 I had a motorcycle. Riding it to work one morning, I was passing a pick-up truck in a slight curve. I could see ahead around the truck fine, but just as I was pulling alongside him, he swerved into my lane. That forced me to “lean out” away from him putting my left handle into a mailbox sticking out into the road a little. I remember clearly being thrown down the road and rolling and praying instantly, “God! Am I ever going to stop rolling!?!” I did. Then I was afraid to try to move, fearing that I would find that I could not because I was dead. Finally, I did try to move, and obviously, I was not dead. In my walk with the Lord, He has pulled me out of many more situations that I could enumerate for a long, long time. As we go through life, we need the Lord to be with us. That is just for the dumb stunts we pull, not to mention all the stuff that is going on around us. Just yesterday a buddy and I got down on our knees and prayed with a 42-year-old man who was tired of trying to figure things out and call all the shots. Yesterday he surrendered all to the Lord, and received peace. We need the Lord.
Take It or Leave It
This past week-end at an outdoor event, I heard testimonies from young men who have come through horrible home life and drug conditions. It is terrible how some parents treat their children—beatings, vilification, compulsory drug and alcohol use, sexual perversion, and on it goes, and this from a very young age. I also hear this in our prison ministry. That’s why they are in prison. Prison is actually a haven from the home life and environment they were raised in. It is common for them to go from one rehab program to the other with only temporary freedom from drug enslavement. This can go on for years. These testimonies, and other testimonies I hear from changed lives, all have one thing in common: it was not until there was a total surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ, that permanent and real inward change took place. They can get off of drugs and go to something else even that might be religiously good, but still not have a heart surrender to the Lord Jesus. We can be addicted to religion, and still not know the Lord Jesus. It was people who were addicted to religion who put Jesus on the cross. Just because we live a good, clean life does not mean we know Jesus. Then a few days later I visited with a man who believes all the old, elderly, feeble people who “don’t care should be taken out and shot in the head like China.” He also believes Covid and the Twin Towers were all arranged and funded by our government. The conversation about battery powered weed eaters, mowers, motorcycles and pistols was filled with the worst kind of expletives. He knows what I stand for, and I had made reference to some mission trips I had been on, after which the expletives seemed to increase. Wanting to plant a seed of the gospel in our conversation, I said, “Well, when we die, all this stuff passes away. My job is to get people ready to die. We can be ready through the gospel of Jesus Christ.” With that, he “had to get back to work” weed-eating and mowing. People are shaped by inherent sin, their homelife and life’s experiences. We don’t know what they have been through to form their beliefs and perspectives. That is why Jesus condemns no one—nor should we. The disciples of Jesus Christ are marked by love and truth. We in ourselves cannot change our hearts or other people’s hearts. As we see what Jesus did for us, and we make that total surrender to Him, He changes our hearts. His love never fails. His truth to our inward man sets us free. No matter where we are in life—addicted or not addicted, religious or not religious, self-sufficient or weak and dependent—the loving, truthful Lord Jesus Christ has done the work to give peace, righteousness and eternal life. We can take it or leave it. It is up to us.
No More Dry Times
I have driven the streets of towns in spring and admired their flourishing petunia beds and baskets, brilliantly broadcasting their colors for all to see. I have driven those same streets at the end of summer and wondered how they did it! After my petunias are long gone, those urban petunias were still showing out at the end of summer! As I stood in the dining room of our house and looked out across the yard, I noticed the beautiful basket of petunias that Barb had placed by the bird feeders was looking a little “slaked.” (Pronounced with a long “a,” that is the inaccurate term I use to describe a plant that is needing water). We elected to wait for the promised rain, and we were not disappointed. It received a refreshing and a renewal and is looking great. It is amazing how a plant can wilt until it is completely bowed over, but with a good watering it will perk up and be manifesting its glory again. As I looked out the window observing the needy petunia, I thought about our walk with the Lord. Over the years I have heard a common theme expressed among believers. An encounter with God takes place in a person’s life or in a group. There is repentance and recommitment, and life in the Lord is good—for a while. In time, in the sunny drying weather of life, the spiritual soil loses its moisture. The beautifully blooming flower of the spiritual mountaintop begins to wilt. Life in the Lord starts to be a little “slaked.” Continuing in this way makes the plant more susceptible to insects and disease. There needs to be another watering to bring it back to its robust life. Jesus promised this: He said whoever drinks of the water that He gives, that person will never thirst. He said the water He gives shall be in that person “springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). He later restated and amplified that teaching saying that the person who believes on Him shall have “rivers of living water” coming up out of his innermost being. Then the scriptures explain very clearly that Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit that would be given to those who believe (John 7:38-39). The Word of God is the nutrition of your spiritual life. The Spirit is the water. Just having nutrients is not enough. It takes receiving the water of the Spirit to carry the nutrients throughout the plant. Without the water, the plant goes without nourishment. If you are “dry” in your walk with the Lord, believe the Word and ask for and yield to the Spirit. Receive and be filled with the Spirit to have the rivers within you to be your source of water at all times. This is the promise of the Heavenly Father. Don’t let a religious tradition or doctrine keep you from receiving God’s wonderful divine “rivers” for your thirsty garden. Flourish in Jesus Christ as Lord!
Pray Without Ceasing, Praying Always
Romans 12: 12 “continuing instant in prayer.” (“to be earnest towards, persevere, be constantly diligent, to attend assiduously all the exercises, to adhere closely to (as a servitor).” Strong’s Concordance G4342
1 Thessalonians 5: 17 “Pray without ceasing.”
Ephesians 6: 17 “And take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance…”
Why pray without ceasing? Because there is a lot of work that needs to be done in the earth, and God has ordained to choose human vessels through which He speaks and performs His works. Just like God spoke in creation and things happened out of nothing, now we are vessels through which He speaks for the creation of righteousness, right things, in the earth today. Therefore, we are to give ourself to remaining in the attitude of prayer and praying without ceasing. We can do it by prayers with our understanding, and by prayers with the Spirit, praying in tongues.
God has ordained that we be supernaturally fruitful, and to accomplish that, we do it through prayer, by trusting God, by relegating the work to God. In this way we become instruments through which God works. It starts with God praying through us by the Spirit that dwells in us. Romans 8: 26-27; 1 John 3: 24b
Two functions of prayer are that it is both fellowship with God, and it is fulfilling the finished work of Jesus (Colossians 1: 24). The Spirit can speak through us as we yield to the groanings (sighs) of the Spirit. When we pray according to the Spirit, we are releasing that which Jesus has already accomplished to be demonstrated in the earth today. So, prayer is both a means of fellowship with God and a means of fulfilling our responsibility to accomplish God’s work on the earth. Romans 8: 26-27
A third function of prayer is worship. When you just cannot express yourself in known words, then God gives words of the Spirit in unknown tongues, by which to express ourself in worship and praise and thanksgiving. We can “give thanks well” in our known language, and “give thanks well” in our unknown tongues language. 1 Corinthians 14: 17
A fourth function of prayer is for revelation. Paul said when you come together some will have a psalm, some a doctrine (a teaching), a tongue, a revelation, and an interpretation (1 Corinthians 14: 26). Praying in the Spirit, under the inspiration and direction of the Spirit, is a means of receiving revelation from God.
Testimony About Tongues and Revelation
When I was about 22 years old, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. I later came under spiritual attack, and stumbled in my walk with the Lord. In time I started turning back to the Lord. I would walk up and down the street late at night praying and seeking the mind of the Lord. One night I began wondering if I could still speak in tongues like I had once experienced. I opened my mouth and gave it breath and behold! There it was! It was there all the time.
So, I began praying in tongues in my prayer time. Then I came under attack in my mind with thoughts coming to me that tongues were of the devil, this was stupid, and I was wasting my time and energy praying in tongues. I went to the Word and saw for sure that it was in the Word. So, for nights to come I resumed praying in tongues.
Then, the attack on my mind was even more vicious. This time I said, “Ok. I’m going to study this thing out.” I did a Genesis to Revelation study on the power of words and the power of the tongue. I saw how there is great power in words spoken. I related all that I saw about the power of words to the use of tongues. I came to the conclusion that the devil is scared spitless of people getting the revelation of the power of praying in tongues. He will pull all kinds of tricks to keep people from praying in tongues.
Bolstered with the revelation of what the Word says about the power of tongues, I gave myself to praying in tongues without ceasing. I trained myself to be praying in tongues from the time I got up in the morning to the time I went to bed at night. If in a conversation, when the other person was speaking, I was praying in tongues inwardly, undetected. When alone, I prayed out loud as in normal conversation.
I would get revelation of the Word and of the finished work of Jesus Christ. I would record it on a microcassette tape recorder as I walked and prayed. Then I would go to the house and transcribe it word-for-word. This lifestyle of prayer went on for years. To this day, ninety percent of my praying is with the Spirit in my tongue’s language. I have found that we can literally “pray without ceasing” and “pray always” at will by use of praying with our understanding and praying with our spirit using our tongues prayer language (1 Corinthians 14: 15). And, I have noticed, the more I pray in tongues, the more revelation I receive of the Lord Jesus Christ with a focus on His finished work. Getting the heavenly perspective comes by the Holy Spirit, not just by mental study and information. Such communion with the Lord, by praying without ceasing, helps keep the focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father and abiding in Him.
Prayer Meeting
The Bible gives guidelines for a prayer meeting. In reality, since the church, the house of God, the people of God, are called the house of prayer, prayer should be first and foremost in the church meeting so that the church meeting issues from prayer.
Prayer is to be first, and in prayer, worship is to be first. In Jesus’ guide on how to pray in Matthew 6: 9, He put worship to God first— “Hallowed by thy name.” With this first, we see Paul telling Timothy in 1 Timothy 2: 1 that “first of all” there should be “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks” for all people. We see here that all the aspects of prayer are plural. So, there are to be different kinds of supplications, different ways of praying, multiple kinds of intercessions and abundance of giving of thanks, and all this for all people. The prayer/church meeting is to be a diverse operation of the Spirit of God.
We also see how prayer under the direction of the Spirit activates the armor of God for the defense and strength of the warrior of the Lord. Ephesians 6: 18 says “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Prayer under the direction of the Spirit activates the armor of God. The armor of God consists of spiritual components in our life that operate by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As we pray by the inspiration of the Spirit, we become an active warrior carrying out the will of God by the power of God.
Putting on the armor is more than just having a mental picture of each piece and an assent to and confession of possessing each piece of the armor. Putting on the armor is fellowship with the Father, Son, and Spirit through prayer and hearing from God. God’s Spirit, Word and presence are our armor. It operates by prayer, all kinds of prayer—prayers with our known language, prayers in our unknown tongue, and prayers of the groanings from our spirit man, quiet prayers, loud prayers, and tearful prayers—however the Spirit leads is the way we are to pray. The main thing is to give place to and yield to the Spirit. It is through worship that we can enter into this place of the holy presence of God. By the eternal blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His righteousness imputed to us, we can enter into this place with God with all boldness and liberty. Hebrews 10: 19-23
We should not be afraid to open our mouth boldly and loudly and release the prayers of our heart in our known language or in our unknown language. We are in a prayer meeting! It is time to pray! It is not for show or shame! It the time to pour our heart out to God. In James 5: 16 it says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” This is praying from your heart to God’s heart. This kind of praying avails much.
Being liberated in worship to God and in true prayer brings revelation. Pen and paper, or some kind of recording device, needs to be handy in every true prayer meeting. (Somebody taking notes is how we got the Bible). Prayer inspired by the Spirit opens the heavens, the Spirit realm, so revelation flows like a river. 1 Corinthians 14: 26 says, “How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.” Paul was talking to a Spirit-filled church in which tongues, prophecy and other manifestations of the Spirit were in operation, including, revelation.
God is not trying to hide anything from us. He wants to reveal by the Spirit what no fleshly eyes have seen, even the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2: 12 tells us that He wants us to know the things “that are freely given to us of God.”
God so graciously works within the abilities and understanding that we have. That is good. We see some results. But there is always more. When we shift from the limitation of our abilities and understanding into the unlimited realm of the Spirit, we enter the realm of “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” spoken of in Ephesians 3:20. This is the kind of prayer and ministry realm that Jesus and the early church lived in. This realm is what God desires for us to enter into and dwell.
God is a big God, and He wants us to pray big by the Spirit. Zerubbabel was to build the house of God, but it was not going to be built by the might or power of man’s understanding and ability. It was going to be built by the Spirit of God flowing with a continuous supply of the golden anointing oil of God through His people. This anointing comes by believing prayer inspired by the Spirit of God and by our yielding to the promptings and guidance of that same Spirit.
Being born again, baptized in the fire of the Spirit, and being led by that same Spirit—this is the simplicity of God’s program for the church today. It is simply following the Lord Jesus Christ. It commences, continues and consummates by all kinds of prayer inspired by the Spirit of God. The key is to get into that place in the Spirit so the golden oil of God flows freely. From this will be abundant fruitfulness in doing the same works of Jesus, and more. Zechariah 4; John 14: 12-14
Biblical Evidences of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit
Acts 2: 1-4; 8: 14-17; 9:17/1 Corinthians 14:18; 10: 46; 13: 52; 19: 1-6
First, let’s remove our religious glasses. Let’s just open the Bible and read it as it is and follow the leading of the Spirit to help us receive and yield to the Spirit of God.
New languages. God’s goal is for us to speak with boldness. The Spirit gave yielded people utterance in unknown tongues on the day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Spirit. By this operation of the Spirit, the hearers heard, repented and believed in Jesus Christ—3000 were saved. The people heard the gospel in their own language. This was the operation of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost in order to get people saved. Tongues are also for the purpose of self-edification to strengthen us to carry out the Great Commission. Both purposes are the operation of the Spirit today through faith in Jesus Christ and by receiving and yielding to the Spirit of God. Acts 1 & 2
Prophecy. This is speaking words under the inspiration of the Spirit to set people free, both lost and saved. Peter, filled with the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, spoke under the inspiration of the Spirit in his native language. The people were obviously hearing in their own language, as 3,000 people understood and were saved.
Acts 20: 23; Acts 21:9; Acts 21:11; Acts 28:25-27
Love. The love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit will reach out to others with the truth of the gospel with no condemnation. The love of God is willing to lay down one’s life for the sake of others to the glory of God.
Acts 2: 14—Peter and company to same people who killed Jesus; Romans 5: 5
Boldness. There is no fear in love. Perfect, mature love, casts out fear. With no fear of what people think, one is very bold to obey God’s voice and carry out His will in setting people free. Being filled with the Spirit gives us boldness in love to speak the gospel.
Acts 2: 14/1 John 4: 17-18; Acts 4: 31; Acts 7: 55; Acts 13: 9
Signs, wonders, miracles, healing and deliverance. God has always been a signs and wonders, healing, delivering God. This was in the Old Testament, it was in the ministry of Jesus, and it was in the operation of the early Spirit-filled church—all by God’s Spirit.
Acts 6: 5, 8
Fruit of the Spirit. Holiness. Sanctification. Being full of the Spirit is a life being changed into the character of Christ. You walk what you talk in the character of Christ by faith.
Acts 13: 52—joy; Galatians 5: 22
Lives transformed and set free. A change is implemented in our heart. The Word and things of God become precious to us and Jesus is the focus of our life. Love, truth, holiness and liberty become our mode of operation. We experience liberation more and more as we follow on to know the Lord in the power of constantly yielding to His Spirit—filled and overflowing to the praise and glory of God.
At Home with the Name
The church started in a house, in an upper room. I want to direct your attention to what the Word of God says: Luke 22:10 (9-38) / Acts 1:13
References indicating a house:
Acts 2:38
4:31 / 5:20, 42
8:3
10: 2
11: 14
16: 15, 31
20: 20
The church was not given a name. They were simply recognized as people of love and boldness, who were witnesses, who had been with Jesus. Acts 1:8; Acts 4:13
They were simply followers of Jesus who lived and operated in the name of Jesus. They were operating as a joint-heir with Jesus, sons and daughters of God. Acts 4:18
In that name was/is embodied the person of the Father, the person of the Son, and the person of the Holy Spirit, in which is all power. In the name of Jesus, they were authorized to go and make disciples of all nations. Matthew 28:18-20
In that name they were to be instruments through which the Lord would do miracles in and through them. They would speak and operate in supernatural love and power.
Mark 16: 15-20
In that name they had power to set people free from sin by preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Luke 28:46-49; John 20: 21-23
Conclusion:
Regardless of where you are or what label you might be associated with, you are to carry the name of Jesus. You are in the family of God. You are in the name of Jesus. You are to live and operate in the life and character of Jesus, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and accomplish what the Father has planned for you to accomplish.
The church starts in the home in the name of Jesus, and is to reach to the ends of the earth through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Artificial Intelligence
The rage of the age with us now is AI (Artificial Intelligence). Anytime we google anything, AI is right there with the answer. My understanding is that they have taken vast amounts of information about everything known to man and put it all into one bucket called AI. There, it is shaken together, mixed around, and put together as a logical conclusion based on all the information at hand. When a question is asked on the internet, it just goes to that bucket and draws out the answer from all that collaborated information. Granted, my understanding of AI might be a little oversimplified, but it works for me, and I am happy with it. AI is like pistols and rifles—they are good and useful in themselves; it is how they are used by man that is good or evil. Or, as I read of one analogy, forks and spoons are good and very useful and convenient in themselves—harmless; but how they are used can make you fat. I like to try to get the big picture on things, the overview. It seems that AI can provide the overview of things based on the vast amount of information it draws from. However, when a man’s sneaky little finger gets in there and uses that information for a twisted purpose to justify himself or to control other people, then we have a problem. Man is historically known to have such propensities, so with that awareness, we should be paying attention to what we read and see. We have an AI in Christ Jesus our Lord—Authority and Identification. God’s answers come through His authority and identification with Him. God, through Jesus Christ, has all authority, dominion and power forever. Every man, with all his opinions, reasoning, analysis, justification and collaboration of information, will ultimately lay it all down and give account to God for his life according to God’s terms. God’s terms of abundant life here and hereafter are offered in the person of His Spirit-anointed Son, Jesus. That’s where identification comes in. When we lay our life down at the feet of Jesus, and receive Him and His work for us as our right-standing with God, then we have met God’s terms of abundant and eternal life. As we learn to draw on Him, on His authority, and as we learn to draw on our identification with Him as our mode of operation in daily life, we are able to experience positive change. We gain understanding that is empowering and beneficial to us and to others. It is a new life with release from bondage and peace and joy and being liberated in His healing power. We can learn to live life in His AI, in His authority and by identification with Him. He, Jesus Christ, is God’s terms for full, complete and eternal life. It is all in Him. Everything we need is in Jesus, the Spirit-anointed Son of God. Drawing from God’s AI, we can live forever.
