TRY THE SPIRITS: If Kanye West And His ‘Sunday Service Revival’ Happening Now Is Really The Work Of The Holy Spirit, This Is What You Will See Along With It
Are Kanye West and his ‘Jesus Is King’ Sunday Service revivals a legit working and moving of the Holy Spirit, or are they just a work of the flesh?
Revivals that swept across America in the 18th and 19th centuries were almost always accompanied by a conviction of sin, a repentance from sin, and a turning back to God.
The news of Kanye West and his ‘Sunday Service’ travelling show is in the news just about everywhere at the moment. The biggest currently is the claim that over 1,000 people got saved in Baton Rouge on Friday night, in the altar call at the end of the event. So the question we have before us now is this things a legit moving of the Holy Spirit, or is it part of the end times deception? As Bible believers, we are call to ‘try the spirits’ before signing off on something, and in this very timely article, that is what we will endeavor to do.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)
America has not seen real Holy Spirit revival in quite some time now. Over the past 20 years or so we have seen highly questionable and outright false revivals like the Brownsville Revival back in 1999, the Lakeland Outpouring in 2008, and the Toronto Blessing in 2014. All three of these ‘revivals’ were works of the flesh and not a work of the Holy Spirit if the Bible is to be our guide. Why do I say that? Because biblical revival brings a conviction of sin, a forsaking of sin behaviour, and is evidenced by biblical repentance. It doesn’t bring “Bam!, Bam!, Bam!“. Biblical revival is not centered around your feelings, emotions, praise music, or ‘asking Jesus into your heart’. When the Holy Spirit brings revival, He also brings change, and lots of it.
Revivals that swept across America in the 18th and 19th centuries were almost always accompanied by a conviction of sin, a repentance from sin, and a turning back to God. When evangelist Billy Sunday preached his fiery sermons in the late 1800’s, liquor stores and bar would not only close, in many cases, the owners of those establishments were under such great conviction that they went out of business and found other lines of work. That’s what you can expect to see when the Holy Spirit brings a revival. So let’s take a look at some of the things the Bible says goes hand in hand with true Holy Spirit revival by looking at examples of people getting right with God.
- HOLY SPIRIT REVIVAL SHOWS YOU YOUR LOST CONDITION: In Acts 16, we have the amazing story of how Holy Spirit revival came to not only the Philippian jailer but to his entire house as well. You will note that it started with the jailer understanding that he was lost and headed for Hell, prompting him to cry out and ask how he could get saved. Holy Spirit revival will always, always, always convict you of your lost and unsaved condition. “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.” Acts 16:25-33 (KJV)
- HOLY SPIRIT REVIVAL CALLS YOU TO REPENTANCE: When there is a true movement of the Holy Spirit, you will see repentance. Holy Spirit revival, like I previously said, has almost nothing to do with ‘inviting Jesus into your heart’, ‘feeling the spirit’ or any other such like thing. When the Holy Spirit is moving, He will convict people of thier lost condition without Christ, He will convict saved people of their backslidden condition, and He will provide the spiritual remedy from scripture. This is the entire function of the Holy Spirit. So don’t judge revival by the size of the crowds or by their outpouring of emotion, neither of those two things have anything to do with real revival. Real revival convicts. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” John 16:7-11 (KJV)
- HOLY SPIRIT REVIVAL CHANGES YOU: When I got saved back in 1991, I was alone in my room and on my knees with a King James Bible. No crowds, no music, no cheering, no fanfare of any kind. I read one verse of scripture, John 3:16 (KJV), and after a year and a half of ‘looking for God’ He let me find Him, and I have never been the same since. Yes, I struggle with sin, I struggle with faith, I have lots of struggles like any other Christian, but that day I got saved I became a new creature in Jesus Christ, and though I have not done it perfectly or anything close to it, I wake up every day and communicate with my Creator, and try my best to do His will and submit to His authority. I am not the person I was before I got saved, getting saved changed me from the inside out. (read my personal testimony here). In any revival of the Holy Spirit, after it has swept through, it will leave changed people in its wake. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (KJV)
Now let’s return to the revival in Baton Rouge on Friday night where over 1,000 people came forward and “gave their lives to Christ“. As you can see in the video below, there was no preaching of the gospel of any kind. None. What there was was lots and lots of music that tossed around words like “I ain’t afraid”, “Jesus is the Name I love”, and so on. But there is no music recorded in the Bible, only words. The gospel that saves your soul and convicts you of sin and leads you to repentance is not open for interpretation. This is the gospel:
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)
Holy Spirit conviction doesn’t lead you to jump and holler, or shout and sing, Holy Spirit conviction drops you to your knees and causes you to cry out to the God you’ve been sinning against, asking for His mercy and accepting Jesus payment for your sin on the cross. The night I got saved, my sins and failures flooded before my face, I had nothing to offer God, and all I could do was ask Him to save me from the fiery Hell I so richly deserved. That’s Holy Spirit revival, that’s Holy Spirit conviction. And in nearly 30 years since I got saved, I have heard thousands of stories of all the different ways that people got saved, but one thing has remained constant in every account. Never once have I ever heard of someone getting saved who didn’t first come under conviction of their own personal sin(s) against God, ask for mercy, and accept Jesus’ payment on the cross as applied to their personal sin debt.
I do not and cannot, if we are using the Bible as the standard, accept any so-called revival that does not also contain the preaching of the gospel of the grace of God for the conviction of sin in the ears of the listeners. I have yet to see a video clip in any of these Sunday Service revivals of the gospel being preached and sinners coming to repentance. So far all I see is a concert. Don’t get me wrong, a concert centered around Jesus is never a bad thing. But if that concert is leading people to believe they’ve gotten saved when there has been no preaching of the gospel, no conviction of sin, and no repentance, then it’s not a concert, it’s tragic. All a concert like that will do is produce false converts.

The Truth About Heaven And Hell
Let me ask you the most important question you will every be asked in your entire life. If you were to die tonight, where would you go?
“But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” Luke 12:5 (KJV)
Do you know for sure that you would be in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ, or is there a nagging doubt that tells you perhaps you are headed in the other direction? God has made salvation so simple a 6 year old child can grasp it. God did it all for you on Calvary, all you have to do is accept it or reject it. Do you know what Jesus was doing on the cross? He was making a payment on your sin debt, paid in full. And if you’re lost, that payment is just sitting there at the foot of Calvary’s cross waiting for you to come and claim it.

Monster Energy Drink Company Launches ‘The Beast Unleashed’ Hard Seltzer Alcoholic Beverage Complete With 666 And The All-Seeing Eye On Every Can
Monster Energy Drink company has launched ‘The Beast Unleashed’ with 666 on every can to remind you of the rising spirit of the coming Antichrist
There has never been more information so readily available at the touch, swipe or tap of a smart device screen as there is right here right now in 2023. And yet, from a spiritual perspective, we are heartbreakingly ignorant of basic Bible truths. Paul tells us that our eyes and ears aren’t working right and our hearts have ‘waxed gross’. Habakkuk tells us that we are watching prophecy coming true and not believing what we’re seeing. The Monster Energy Drink company last month launched ‘The Beast Unleashed’ with the Illuminati all-seeing eye of Horus and 666 on every can, and it didn’t even cause a minor stir. How could that be? Because this world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist, that’s how.
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJB)
Satanism in America is literally all around you, it permeates social media, advertising, marketing, television, music and movies. For every one gospel witness billboard up on the highway, there are 100 advertisements for the things of Satan like smoking, the consumption of alcohol, fornication, perversion and gambling. The Monster Energy Drink logo is designed to look like the claw marks of an animal, but is actually 3 instances of the number 6 in Hebrew. There’s your first 666. With ‘The Beast Unleashed’ drink, they’ve set the alcohol percentage level firmly at 6 percent, and place next to it a second instance of their 666 logo. What does that give you? It gives you an alcoholic drink called ‘The Beast’ with 666 on every can 3 times, with the all-seeing eye in the background watching you while you drink it. Wake up, Christian, awake from your slumber and get something done for the Lord Jesus Christ while you still can.
‘The Beast Unleashed’ is the latest 666 offering from the Monster Energy Drink company
FROM CRAFTJACKS: The Beast Unleashed is a flavored malt alcoholic beverage designed to ensure you never leave the house, nor your screen or controller, ever again. The Ready-to-Drink Hard Seltzer is being sold 21 years after the release of Monster’s immensely popular energy drink.
21+ Gamers, Pros and Noobs alike, are rejoicing from the comfort of their parents converted-to-a-living-quarters basements as they remind their mothers to come home with a 12 pack of The Beast next time she goes to the grocery store.
Either way, Monster Energy drinks just got hard. Make no mistake about it though, 6% ABV isn’t a crushing amount, considering most contemporary IPAs fall around that range. Even at 16 fl oz, The Beast won’t unleash any demons within you until you’re on your third, fourth or even fifth go-round.
The Beast Unleashed will be targeting lifestyle enthusiasts, social media influencers, programmers, engineers, developers, Bro Culturists, Gamers, E-Sports players, and anyone who is normally into having a good time with synthetic tasting flavors. READ MORE

New TikTok Trend Of ‘Trad Wife’ Catches On As More And More Women Showing Interest In Traditional And Biblical Marriage Roles For Men And Women
A trad wife, short for traditional wife, according to TikTok creator Estee Williams, is ‘a woman who prefers to take a traditional or ultra-traditional role in marriage, including the beliefs that a woman’s place is in the home.’
It’s quite interesting to see how that, in this plastic and highly-artificial world we’ve created for ourselves, from time to time there is a stirring to return to purity and wholesomeness even if it’s just a temporary trend on TikTok. How well I can recall how different mothers were when I was growing up, and the strong emphasis placed on family and making a house into a home. That time period wasn’t perfect, but it was a whole lot less scary than life is here in 2023. I would much rather have a ‘trad wife’ who cherishes her husband than a ‘hot mom’ who’s overly-focused on self-care and self-love. Mary Hatch in ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ comes immediately to mind, as does the Proverbs 31 woman.
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:10-12 (KJB)
While we’re on the subject of social media and the Communist Chinese-owned TikTok, does it disturb you that people are now living their lives in group think? The influence and sway that social media exerts on the minds of people, especially young people, is astounding. The whole world is preparing itself for the events laid out in places like Revelation 13, where AI will create floating images that will speak and receive worship. In the meantime, the dividing line between humans and the smart devices that control us continues to disintegrate.
The TikTok viral ‘trad wife’ trend accused of ‘romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled’
FROM THE NY POST: While these women channel the structure of a stereotypical 1950s household in which the husband goes to work while their wives stay home to cook, clean, and care for any children, those behind the trend say it’s so much more – particularly in the age of burnout and struggles to maintain a work-life balance in the post-COVID age.
“It doesn’t mean that we are trying to take away what women fought for,” Williams said in a TikTok video from September. “There are a lot of people trying to make this a sinister thing or put some other, darker meaning behind the term ‘trad wife.’ Nobody is doing that.
“No trad wife TikToker is saying every woman’s place is in their home. We, as individuals are just choosing to be homemakers. That’s all.”
Williams argues that being a trad wife is not a movement but rather a lifestyle. She also, in her September TikTok, argued that those behind the lifestyle don’t see women as less important than men just because they are submissive to their husbands.
Other videos aligning with the #tradwife hashtag show women baking, sweeping floors, and trying on mid-century-style dresses as they rave about the liberating transition from their old way of life to their new one. Others focus on the biblical implications of being a homemaker and how being a trad wife allows them to fulfill the role. READ MORE

Are You Ready To Receive Your ‘Digital Human’ Chatbot So Your Generative AI Software Will Make You Think You Are Interacting With A Real Person?
D-ID’s platform will utilize its already proven text-to-video software in order to turn an AI chatbot into a real fake person
Since the launch of the personal computer in the 1980’s to the advent of the internet in 1994, our global society has been on a collusion course with robots, aliens, and everything else dystopian movie classic ‘The Matrix’ warned us about. In 2023, the hottest new thing is called generative AI, and it will revolutionize how we live and conduct business every bit as much as air travel at the dawn of the 20th century. Of course, if you have a King James Bible, this little ‘newsflash’ we’re bringing you today is approximately 2,000 years old.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
If you’re thinking of ‘getting off the grid’ you’ve missed your chance by about a decade now, so don’t waste your time trying to do that. No one gets off the grid now, the door is closed, and the only way out is up, as in Flight #777 up, as in 23 skidoo up. The robots are receiving brains now, brains that can think because they’re modeled on your brain. Remember that Twilight Zone episode of the couple living with robots who were convinced they were human? That’s you, baby, that’s what’s happening now. Tick, tick, people…and I don’t mean TikTok.
D-ID launches AI Digital Human platform so you can look your chatbot in the eyes
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Generative AI is one of the industry-defining technologies of the hi-tech world in 2023, and the recent popularity of platforms such as ChatGPT and DALL-E has led to a seemingly non-stop cavalcade of new AI innovations. Smart text chatbots have become an integral medium of interaction between consumers and brands, and D-ID hopes to alleviate some of the frustration associated with that interaction.
One of the latest comes by way of generative AI platform developer D-ID, which on Wednesday launched a chat platform that will enable face-to-face conversations with an “AI Digital Human,” made possible by the company’s proprietary text-to-video tech.
While the technology could be applied in several ways, from creative to educational, D-ID expects that it will be best utilized by enterprises and developers, allowing them to create photorealistic digital assistants who can interact with consumers in a more human, engaging, and effective way. These digital assistants can be used to improve customer support, sales, training, personal finance, and a host of other applications, and are likely to increase conversion and customer experience while lowering overall costs.
“Large language models like GPT-3 and LaMDA are changing the way we relate to and interact with technology, and we are not far off from all of us having our own personalized AI assistants and companions,” said Gil Perry, CEO and co-founder of D-ID. “We are making tech more human by giving it a face and making the interaction more natural. I am very proud of D-ID, which continues to be at the cutting edge of the emergent generative AI industry.”
There is currently buzz among experts regarding the ethical development of AI. As generative AI becomes more prevalent among consumers and businesses alike with each passing day, the need for its increased transparency becomes more relevant. READ MORE
You Are Now The ‘Obsolete Man’
The name of this episode is ‘The Obsolete Man’, and what makes him that is two things. One, he’s a human living in the time of technology, and two, he’s a Bible believer who reads the word and trusts in God. Do you really need a long explanation about this, or do you just get it? I really hope you do.
