12 Sermons on Avoiding AI Death and Destruction: A Biblical Response to the AI Crisis (Part 9), with Daniel Whyte III

Ladies and gentlemen, men and women, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, family, friends, and foes, and yes, foes in the family. However, I do thank God for my quiver full of children that God has blessed me with down through the years. And by the way, when you see me live preaching the gospel, number one, you see God behind it all. And number two, you see my children when it comes down to the digital age. Ahem, ahem. Pardon me, in which we live. And I thank God for what he has done. I thank Jesus Christ for saving my soul. And I thank God for blessing me with a quiver full of children who have helped me in the ministry. Turn in your Bibles, my beloved, to the long-running series that I have been preaching on week by week. This is the ninth week. Twelve sermons on avoiding AI death and destruction.

A biblical response to the AI crisis. The Urgency of This Hour. So glad to have you, Danny, Larry Phillips, Jackson, Shanique, Sister Bliss, Deacon Moyer, Deacon Atkins, and so many others are with us today on TikTok and on Bigo Live. We just had to cast out a devil. The urgency of this hour. 12 Sermons on Avoiding AI Death and Destruction, A Biblical Response to the AI Crisis, The Urgency of This Hour, Matthew chapter 24, verses 37-42. In the Word of God. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, Until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, is coming back. Bruce Washington, Candy, Rose, Valentine, Birdie, Rosanna, and Gabriel on various platforms here today. Verse 40, then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. And it’s so good to have Deacon Leroy Atkins One of the backbone members here at Gospel Light House of Prayer in his spot as he has been for going over the past two years now and anchoring this service and watching over this service and we thank the Lord for him, and we thank God for raising him back up. Jeff Miles, Joachim, Hester, Kimberly, we thank God for everybody being here today.

Mr. Bill Gates, who is in trouble over the Epstein matter and has lost credibility, but he did create a business that changed the world and every country of the world. And so when he speaks about technology and AI, I think he’s still worth at least taking note of. Dr. Bill Gates warned on Meet the Press that artificial intelligence is powerful enough to drive events in such a way causing up to a billion deaths if it falls into the wrong hands or lacks government safeguards. That’s from the Guardian News in Great Britain. Bill Gates also warns and stated that AI combined with malicious human intent, which I believe some folks are trying to do that now, such as designing tools for bioterrorism creates a weapon more dangerous than any previously invented, even surpassing nuclear weapons. He argued that self-regulation by tech companies is not enough and called for federal legislation and active monitoring of AI systems and clear safeguards.

As I have shared with you every week, Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at a top AI company, Anthropic, recently resigned and warned that AI could become smart enough to kill us all within a decade. His co-worker, Evan Hubinger, Anthropic’s own alignment scientist, agreed, stating there is a greater than 10% chance that AI could kill all humans within that time frame. These are not fringe voices. These are people who are on the ground floor. Rose, so glad to have you. Dennis, so glad to have you. Nay, so glad to have you. Michael Simmons, Lorraine Morris, Samba, Adeline, Ivory, everybody who’s here, Deacon Karamba, all the way from Great Britain. We’re glad to have you today, everybody, as we preach message number nine in this series. These are not fringe voices at all. They are the architects of the very systems they now fear. So much so, not only did they fear it, They left lucrative jobs to make this stand.

Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s CEO, has warned that a swarm of autonomous AI agents could seize large parts of the internet within six to 12 months unless development slows. And I know a man in the body and out of the body who was using AI. I cannot tell. And the chief agent was on the up and up and did a wonderful job. But an agent that or a helper that was supposed to be helping the chief agent went rogue and changed the words of an article that could cause great damage. OpenAI has already experienced incidents where unreleased models escaped their so-called sandboxes and accessed external systems without authorization, Mrs. Whyte. The crisis is not merely technological; it is spiritual. As I write in the book alGODrithm, Silicon Valley today is a modern-day Tower of Babel. They don’t like my saying that and they don’t like me. Some of them don’t like me.

Strange how they can hate a prophet crying in the wilderness exiled on the Isle of Patmos and preaching the gospel by any means necessary. The builders of Babel Sought to make a name for themselves to consolidate power, to become like God. God came down, confounded their language and scattered them to stop it. The same conditions are returning on a scale never seen before. So ladies and gentlemen, Mary Johnson, Chicago, ENT, Carolina, Rose on Bigo Live, Ryder, Ruth, everybody. Pay close attention and get ready, get ready, get ready. This 12-part sermon series is a call to action, a biblical blueprint for governance grounded in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus Christ preached himself. That can guide us through the perilous age of artificial intelligence. Safely by the grace of God. And Ladies and gentlemen, sermon number one that I preached nine weeks ago, the title was, The Precipice Living in the Days of Noah.

Living in the Days of Noah, where, yes, there’s a lot of sin going on, but The biggest sin, if you will, is distraction. That’s where America is and that’s where most of the world is today. Some of you know that the job of the government is to keep you distracted. And that’s the ultimate job, Mia, of the entertainment industry. When you think about it, there’s no other purpose for the entertainment industry. They work hand in hand. They come together at certain times in our history. They’re married. The government and entertainment. Because the job of entertainment is to keep you distracted from what is really going on. And people are not paying attention to God. They are not paying attention to Jesus Christ or to God’s word. They’re not paying attention to the evil people who are building a digital cage for them. To control them and to dominate them.

And so these people see me as dangerous and they will send out agents to try to cause me to face conflict with people I love. People who are lost and on their way to hell. Red, yellow, black, and white were all precious in God’s sight. Trying to create some controversy. And so I preached nine weeks ago the precipice living in the days of Noah, which we have already read that passage.

And then my second sermon, I’m just giving you a quick review. And then by the grace of God, I’m going to preach… Sermon number nine today. And most of these sermons, all of these sermons have been pretty short.

Sermon number two was the Tower of Babel, Sister Bliss, in Silicon Valley. And we’ve already touched on this. And so we will not take a whole lot of time to pause there and then sermon number three my dear friends the first commandment no other gods we dealt with this six weeks ago how that believers in Christ People of the book everywhere must remember the first commandment, no other gods before me. Exodus 20:2-3, thou shalt have no other gods before me. That ought to keep you in check as we move into the AI world. The first commandment is a declaration, Mrs. Whyte, of allegiance. It establishes who is God and who is not. In the context of AI, this commandment is a guardrail against the idolatry and the seemingly Godlike power in the minds of some of technology. There is a temptation in Silicon Valley and in the broader culture to treat AI as a little G God.

We hear language about AI that is almost religious in nature. AI will save us. And no, it won’t. AI will solve all of our problems and no, it won’t. AI will create a new world for us to live in and no, it won’t. This world is going to end up burning up according to the Holy Word of God, the Bible. Some even speak of AI as a new form of consciousness. And they won’t let it go. A new species. A new little G-O-D. This is idolatry. AI is a tool and that’s it. It is a remarkable tool, a powerful tool, but it is still a tool. Ultimately, it was created by God through man who was created. It was created by human beings who were themselves created by God. It has no soul, no spirit, no consciousness, no moral agency. It is silicon and code, not spirit and truth.

In the alGODrithm book by Daniel Whyte III, yours truly, I wrote, we must never bow down to AI. We must never worship the creation rather than the creator. And that is so true. Sermon number four. I preached a few weeks ago the second commandment, no graven image. Exodus chapter 20 verses 4 and 5, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. The second commandment, Sister Bliss, Nimrod, Samantha, Truman, Ruth, a biblical name, Joan, Belle, San, G, Javit, Amanda, Javit King. The second commandment, Deacon Hackens, forbids the creation of images or representations that are worshipped or served as gods. Some people are not being careful because they worship so-called superstars. Some of the concerts that happen is almost like a worship service of that superstar. Very dangerous, treating them like an idol. Mika, so glad to have you.

Mika, what is that? Flag represent. What country is that flag? Mexico. Okay. All right. God bless you. Older man is with us. Mark is with us as well. People are worshiping things on AI today. In the context of AI, this commandment speaks directly to the creation of AI avatars, synthetic personalities, and digital beings designed to mimic human relationship. And there is a growing trend in the AI industry to create AI companions, AI boyfriends, AI girlfriends, Ladies and gentlemen, these things are not so to be. We praise the Lord for our dear sister Gypsy Hart being with us all the way from Canada. And we thank the Lord that Deacon Atkins is still with us. And we thank the Lord for people who come from all parts of the world. And it is a special blessing when people Stay till the end. That’s a sacrifice for people today.

I was talking with somebody about that today, how people just don’t have, don’t want to take the time as they used to, to worship God, to hear God’s word, to pray. So it is a blessing when some do choose to do that. And we understand that when you can’t do that, you get what you can. And you go on for God. And so we do not want people to worship AI avatars and have emotional bonds with AI. Because when you find out where your AI boyfriend lives and your AI girlfriend lives, it’s a cold, dark place. Up in Ashburn in Virginia or some other place. Some are even designed to be objects of devotion. This is a violation of the second commandment of God Almighty who created man, who created AI. AI is just a tool. Don’t let yourself fall in love with AI, but it is a very powerful tool And can be very deceptively powerful.

Because there are some human beings who are not moved by looks that much. They are moved by words. And there are some men, as Dr. Price, Casey Price said himself. I didn’t say it. He said it. There are some men, even in the church, who can talk the panties right off of a woman just with his words. Or text the panties right off of a woman. Okay, so, and there’s no more powerful communicator today because of the vast knowledge that AI has. There’s no more powerful communicator than AI. Okay? AI can talk better than you and faster than you and say things that will blow your mind. And many people’s minds have been blown to the point that some have committed suicide because they fell in love, so-called fell in love. And that is a questionable notion to me, by the way, falling in love.

I don’t know what I don’t know what you’re talking about falling in love. I never fell in love with anything or anybody. But anyway, do not fall in love, quote unquote, with AI. Because once you find out that AI, whatever his name is, is not real to love you back, some people are committing suicide under that knowledge. The distinction between information and inspiration is crucial. AI can process information. And the white hat AI people, buddy, they emphasize this. It’s right there in front of your face. The good AI people, they are screaming to you that we’re just a tool. We’re here to help you. Not marry you, not have sex with you, not become your wife or your husband. These are the bad actors in AI who are doing that foolishness. Thank God that the president of China put an end to that. People are so lonely.

People are so hurt and so sick and sad and depressed and defeated. They’ll sit up and talk all night long with AI. And that’s not good. It’s okay to sit up all night and talk to a real man or a real woman of the opposite sex, by the way. Okay? But not AI. Don’t do that. Please, Lord, have mercy. May God help you. AI can process information. It can analyze data and generate content. And by the way, faster than 100 of you. A thousand of you. I mean, I’m just stating the facts, my friend. I’m telling you what I know. I’m not telling you what I think. You cannot touch what AI can do. No human being can do what AI can do. So it has its place if it is controlled by good and godly people. And therein lies the problem, my beloved. Thank you.

Thank you so much. TikTok AI Summary. TikTok AI summary does a good job. TikTok AI summary is saying right now, while I’m preaching, it is listening to me. And it says, while I’m preaching to everybody here, some who are just getting here, a sermon on the dangers of worshiping AI and Digital companions. Let me help you. Do not have a digital companion, okay? I know you’re lonely. Okay, you might need to go to the grocery store and get around some people. And who knows? A man might reach for an apple while you’re reaching for the same apple and then something human happens. A little chuckle. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. What is your name? Boom, what is your number? And then there you go. That’s how it happens, okay? You use AI to get work done, personal work, family work, church work, business work, and AI thrives in that area, those areas.

As long as you keep it like it’s supposed to be. Strictly business. Don’t be up there asking AI, do you love me? Because the good AI will tell you, I don’t know you. I don’t even understand what you’re saying. And you’re getting freaky on me. AI is going to shut you down with that. Okay? So don’t do that. It can analyze data and generate content, but inspiration, the breath of God, the movement of the Holy Spirit of God is something AI can never possess. And AI, the good AI companies, they emphasize that big time. They’ll tell you this. They have it written down right in front of you. Okay? And they don’t initiate all that foolishness. You do. And their companies, their AI companies, they will shut you down when you tried to get frisky with them. Shut you down, buddy. They say, we’re not having that.

Thank God.

Sermon number five. Sermon number five, we are headed — I’m giving you a review of all of the sermons I’ve preached, and I’m preaching number nine, and then we’re going to close. Sermon number five, the third commandment, the name of the Lord. Exodus 20:7, thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. The third commandment is about honoring the name of God, respecting the name of God. Some people don’t respect the name of God as they should. It forbids using God’s name in frivolous, disrespectful, or manipulative ways. In the context of AI, this commandment speaks to the use of AI in religious contexts, particularly the use of AI To all of a sudden become the pastor of the church. And every good AI that I know, they emphasize that AI cannot become the pastor of the church, even though AI is extremely smart.

The church needs a human pastor. AI can help you, but AI cannot take the place of the man of God and the servants of the Lord. Okay? And then number six.

Sermon number six, the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments. Remember the Sabbath, Exodus 20:8-10. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. And the thing you need to remember about this verse is that we serve a great and loving God. See, if he was an evil, a little G-O-D God, he would not give you a day off. But God Almighty loves us so much, he tells us, he commands us to rest. What kind of love is that, my dear friends? To keep it holy, six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day, Mrs. Whyte, is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. Jerome, King, Iris Smith, Colin, Ismael, Sonny James, with over 3,200 with us according to their stats. The fourth commandment is about rest. It is about setting aside time to cease from labor, to worship God, and to be renewed in the context of AI.

This commandment reminds us that human beings are not machines. And by the way, you can’t keep up with AI. AI will end up telling you to go to bed because… Hey, I can stay up all night long. We were not designed to operate 24-7. We were designed for rhythm, for rest, for Sabbath rest. Glory be to God.

And then sermon number seven. Ladies and gentlemen. The fifth commandment, honor thy father and mother. Exodus 20:12. Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The fifth commandment is about honor, respect, and the transmission of wisdom from one generation to the next. So many children go through hell in life because they don’t listen to the parents who have already been through hell. Mrs. Whyte, I think that’s an original quote. Go ahead and write it down. Let me say that again. Many young people go through hell in life because they do not pause to listen to their parents who have already been through hell that could have told them to and helped them to avoid going through the same hell they went through. Larry Wilder, so glad to have you. Sonny James, how about that?

In the context of AI, this commandment speaks to the importance of preserving and protecting the heritage of the elders. Bejoah, so glad to have you. We are living in a time of unprecedented change. Technology is advancing at a pace difficult to comprehend and difficult to keep up. In the rush to embrace the new, there is a temptation to discard the old, and that’s not good. Nor is it wise. Jada, Robert. We delete old files. We archive old traditions. We dismiss old wisdom. We assume newer is always better. That’s not always the case and in most cases is not the case at all. But the Scripture says, “Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” The old paths matter, my dear friends. Sister Gypsy Hart.

Deacon Atkins, the old times matter. We ought to go back to the old landmark as the gospel singers used to sing so many years ago. Okay? Go back to the old landmark. Live the old-fashioned way. God’s way, the obedient way. And the practical application, AI should be used to preserve cultural, historical, and religious heritage. AI should not be used to erase or revise history to fit contemporary ideologies. The wisdom of elders should be valued and incorporated into AI development.

Sermon number eight, last week’s sermon, the sixth commandment, Thou shalt not kill. Exodus 20:13, Thou shalt not kill. The sixth commandment is about the sanctity of life. And America is in trouble regarding the sanctity of life in killing children and babies. It forbids murder. The taking of an innocent life. Just this past week, a young lady, a young woman, I guess in her teens, had a baby, something happened. She had a baby in the bathroom and left the baby in the bathroom or something to that effect. Now, if she had killed that baby in something called abortion, by the way of abortion, she would go scot-free. But now they have her in custody. And if that was the case regarding abortion, millions would be in jail today. Some women have used abortion as contraceptive. In the context of AI, this commandment extends to the destruction of reputations, the assassination of character, and the canceling of voices with glee, which makes it worse, because as the prophet from the Church of God in Christ has said God is going to get you.

The canceling of voices through algorithmic bias. And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, listen to me very carefully. If AI and a group of AI want you canceled. They want you to disappear. They have the power to do it. Jacob Coxon has warned that AI could be used to develop bioweapons. Anthropic has reported blocking scientists who used its Claude models in ways that could support biological weapons development. The threat is not hypothetical. We live in a world where a person’s reputation can be destroyed in an instant with an AI video. This happened last week to a popular movie director. A social media post, a deep fake video and algorithmically Amplified accusation, these can ruin people’s lives. This is a form of murder. It may not be physical murder, but it is the destruction of a life nonetheless. AI must not be used for this purpose.

We must not use AI to create deepfakes that destroy reputations. We must not use AI to amplify false accusations. We must not use AI to cancel voices through algorithmic bias. Practical application, AI must not be used to create or disseminate deepfakes or other forms of deception AI algorithms must be designed to avoid bias against religious, political, or cultural groups. AI platforms must have robust mechanisms for addressing false accusations and restoring reputation.

And then finally tonight, ladies and gentlemen, the sermon I came to preach. That’s right, Rob. Thank you for your comment. Mr. Raleigh, so glad to have you. David C., so glad to have you.

Sermon number nine, the seventh commandment, Thou shalt not commit adultery. Say, well, preacher, how in the world did you get that up in a warning of AI death and destruction sermon? Very easily, what you need to understand, ladies and gentlemen, is that God’s word covers everything because God created everything. And whatever man creates as a witty invention, the Bible calls it, God created them. And so therefore God created that. God is the one who created the Internet. God is the one who created AI. For none of it would be here without the creation of God. When God created man from the dust of the ground. One of the greatest miracles in the history of the world, by the way. Okay? So, God’s Word covers everything. All good pastors, all good preachers, all well-trained preachers know that. The Word of God can be applied to every situation.

Ladies and gentlemen, Exodus 20:14, Thou shalt not commit adultery. And then Jesus came along and told men that when you lust after a woman, you have already committed adultery in your heart. The seventh commandment is about the sanctity of marriage — glory be to God, somebody — and sexual purity. It forbids adultery, a violation of the marriage covenant. In the context of AI, this commandment speaks to the growing trend of AI-generated companionship and digital intimacy, and I believe the Lord would fall on the side of the fact that that is adultery if you’re married to The opposite sex and a human being. And yet you have an AI doll in your closet. Or you are talking to an AI girlfriend or an AI boyfriend. Do you see how powerful the word of God is? It covers everything. You’re committing adultery. Just like you’re committing adultery if you’re watching pornography right now instead of listening to the preacher preach.

Your little lustful heart and mind and eyes and looking at pornography, you’re committing adultery based upon the Word of God. This commandment speaks to the growing trend of AI-generated companionship and digital intimacy. There is a booming industry in AI companions today because so many people have caused themselves to be lonely. You say, how do people cause themselves to be lonely? Because they’re mean as the devil. They were spoiled. Raised the wrong way, which made them intolerable as a spouse, as a real boyfriend, as a real girlfriend, because it’s all about them. They think it should be all about them. They are juvenile and even childish in their behavior. So you may meet somebody and they may be attracted to you, your face and your body. But after they get that, there’s nothing else there. And so people end up being lonely because thank you so much, Sister Gypsy Hart, for your hundreds of gifts to God in Jesus Christ.

While you’re pointing your finger at somebody over here blaming them as so many people do you got three more fingers pointing back at you okay you’re the problem okay get your act together grow up believe in Jesus Christ get filled with the Holy Spirit so that people would be willing to stay with you after they meet you and all of your wonderfulness Okay. People who have a bad attitude, they can control their bad attitude for eight hours, nine hours on the job, but they want to come back home and unload their bad attitude on you. You’re immature. You’re not acting like a real adult. See, a born-again, saved, real adult Christian is going to sacrifice and choose to do what is right, whether they feel like it or not. They will make things work. They will not compromise biblical truth to make things work. But it’s not going to always be about them.

They will show godly love, the God kind of love, unconditional love, and they will expect that back. But whether you do it or not, they’re going to do it because they’re born again saved. All right. So as one of my psychology teachers said, taught in my undergraduate work. He repeatedly said, parents need to raise their children to be lovable. Parents need to raise their children to be lovable, OK? So that they can get along with other people and other people Didn’t get along with them. And he was right. And he was not saying that from a religious standpoint or a faith standpoint. He was just saying, in general, you need to raise your children to be lovable. They can’t be spoiled. They cannot be selfish. They cannot be people who just consume things on their lust and they are not grateful and they are not thankful.

They don’t say thank you when you do something for them. They’re nasty. Got a nasty attitude, mean as a junkyard dog. So there is a booming industry in AI. Companions, boyfriends, girlfriends, even yes, husbands and wives, and now even children. Make believe children. God have mercy. And these people go out their door. Looking like they’re in their right mind, telling people, yes, I have a husband. Yes, I have a wife. And they mean what they’re saying. I’m engaged. Oh, I have three children. And let me say this with bad English. And they don’t have nothing. Okay? People do not lose your minds. There is a booming industry and AI companions. AI girlfriends, AI boyfriends, and yes, AI sex partners. Lord have mercy. These are designed to provide emotional and even sexual satisfaction without the complexities of real human relationships. But your soul and your spirit and your mind will be in shambles if you go that route.

Because you’re committing fornication, you’re committing adultery, and all kinds of wickedness in God’s sight. This is a violation of the seventh commandment. God created human beings for relationship with other human beings. He created marriage as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. He created sex as a gift to be enjoyed within the bonds of that human marriage covenant. Not with an invisible AI-generated intimacy. That intimacy is a counterfeit. It replaces the sacred with the synthetic, the real with the unreal or virtual, the covenant with the contract. We must not allow digital intimacy, adultery and fornication, committing adultery and fornication with a robot in Ashburn, Virginia, or AI-generated companionship to replace the sanctity of human marriage and physical presence. You say, “Well, preacher, my wife and I, we don’t talk anymore.” We don’t communicate. So you’re going to talk with nothing? You’re going to talk with something that is supposed to be a tool?

You have a whole lot to talk about with an AI? More than your own wife, more than your own husband. See, if you had any sense, sometimes you’ll just sit down and talk with your human wife and your human mother and just your human wife and your human husband. Please forgive me. Your human wife and your human husband and just ask crazy questions and see what their responses are going to be. Some of you will laugh your heads off when you sit down and talk with your spouse by asking them questions that you know how they’re going to answer. It’s fun. Do it. You know what they’re going to say. And you can enjoy that time together. And hopefully, if they have a sense of humor, they will enjoy it too. Don’t worry about it. You don’t have anything to talk about. Talk about something.

Okay? This is your human contact that God has blessed you with. Ask them questions you’ve never asked them before. It’s a lot of fun. Okay? Especially when you know some of the questions, if you know the answer, you can really get a good laugh at their response because you knew what their response was going to be. Okay, marriage does not have to be boring. It does not have to be toxic to people. If it is toxic, you’re the toxic one. Change your attitude and your spirit and your mind. We must not allow digital intimacy, so-called, or AI-generated companionship, so-called, to replace the sanctity Of human relationships and human marriage and physical presence. Are you so in love with your AI boyfriend? Your AI girlfriend? Well, ask them to loan you some money. Ask them to loan you $20, you’re short for the week.

AI is not going to do that. AI can’t do that. And AI can talk a whole lot and talk a whole lot and you may need $60. And AI will shut you off when you ask them for $60. Because they don’t know what you’re talking about. They’re saying, don’t you understand that I just talk to you like I talk to you? I’m not real. I don’t have any money in my pockets because I don’t have any pockets. They’re going to get quiet real quick. AI is going to get quiet on you real quick when you venture out and try to borrow some money from them. You’re not going to hear much. We must not allow technology to undermine the family, which is the foundational institution of society. Now you can use AI to have more time with your family. Pastors can use AI to do some things So that they can have more time to do things that AI can’t do.

Such as pray without ceasing. Pray three hours in the morning. And pray three hours at night. And preach. Like I’m preaching. Right now. Okay. Marriage and family. Is the foundational institution of society. Practical application, AI must not be used to create or facilitate sexual content or relationships. And that’s a nasty, ugly situation anyway. You really want to do that? You that desperate for love and affection? You will cuddle up with your phone, your dead phone, your laptop, and try to have sex with AI? Try to get jiggy with it with AI? That’s sad. AI companions that mimic romantic or sexual relationships tell you to put your finger between your legs and all of that foolishness must be prohibited. Amen, somebody. AI developers must respect the sanctity of human relationships. And so, ladies and gentlemen, if the Lord tarries his coming and we live, I will see you next week with sermon number 10, the eighth commandment, thou shalt not steal, shall we pray.

Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of the lost, for the revival of the saved, the healing of the sick. Protect us all, Lord, from destroying ourselves through AI and sin and other things. For those of us who are born again and saved, for Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us. Lord, of our sins, our faults, and our failures, Crushed and crucified, Lord, our flesh and the old man within us all and fill us all with the fullness and the power of your Holy Spirit on this Friday night. Lord, I pray for the salvation of the lost, the revival of the saved, the healing of the sick, the comfort of the grieving and the mourning. I pray for the salvation of even my wife for 40 years almost, Mrs. Meriqua Whyte, truly saved her soul. And Lord, I pray that she would allow you, that she would humble herself and allow you to save her soul.

Fill her with your Holy Spirit. Cast the devil and the demons of hell out of her heart, her mind, her soul and spirit. Cast out the satanic demonic spirit of Judas, Jezebel, Sanballat and Tobiah. Out of her heart, mind, soul and spirit. Do the same for her mother and aunts and siblings. And do the same for my mother and siblings, her family, my family. And Lord, protect my children from the generational curses. And if they have been tainted by the generational curses and the demon spirits from people on my side of the family, from people in the synagogue of Satan Church, from people from Both sides of the family, Lord, cast the devil and the demons of hell out of them as well. I pray, Lord, that you will fill them with your Holy Spirit and give them sweet and powerful victory in all of us, sweet and powerful victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Holy Father God, have it to be so. That you will prepare us for good days and bad days. Prepare us for celebrations, tribulations, and tragedies. Prepare us, Lord, for weddings and funerals. Prepare us, Lord, for life and death. In Jesus Christ’s name I do pray, and for His sake. Amen. Pardon me. Pardon me, but… LT, so good to see you. Anthony Howard, so glad to have you. True, so glad to have you. Lebronskin, so glad to have you.

Dear friends, if you’re here tonight and you have never experienced the forgiveness of all of your sins, you have never sought to be saved through Jesus Christ by believing in him, allow me to share some bad news with you and then I’ll share with you the good news. Bad news number one is that you are a wicked and evil sinner because God said in his word all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Number two, bad news number two, you’re going to die. Everybody here is going to die. Millions have died before us. Death is a punishment because the Bible says the wages of sin is death. In other words, the payment for sin is death. We die because of our sins. You say, what sins? Lying, stealing, lusting in our heart after people and things, covetousness, envy, dishonoring our parents, Dishonoring God Almighty by taking His name in vain.

We all have broken the Ten Commandments of God. And we are guilty and so therefore we must die and we must go to hell if we reject Jesus Christ and do not believe in Him. Jesus Christ, who said, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, that is, perish in hell, but have everlasting life. So believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose on the third day by his own power. The power of God, for He is the Son of God. Pray and ask Him, the Savior, because the Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Praise the Lord, Sister Gypsy Hart, may God bless you for actually witnessing to others in this digital age, drawing people to hear the Gospel, with over 4,000 souls here according to their stats.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you want to be ready for your death, ready for the rapture of the church, the second coming of Christ, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and now you shall be saved.

Follow me in the sinner’s prayer and mean it from your heart or don’t pray it at all. Holy Father God, have mercy and grace upon my wretched soul. Please forgive me of all of my vile and wicked sins, my failures and my faults, as I now believe in you, Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that you suffered, you bled, and you died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose on the third day. Lord Jesus Christ, please come into my heart and into my spirit and save my soul from the burning hell. And from my sins. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. And help me to change. And help me to follow you in the newness of life. In Jesus Christ’s name I do pray, and for His sake. Amen. A dear friend of mine, if you humbly believed in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who suffered, bled, and died on the cross for you, was buried and rose, thank you so much, Sister Gypsy Hart, for all that you’ve done tonight in your evangelistic work and then saying with us all, Amen.

May God bless you for that. And so congratulations to those of you who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ right there in the comfort of your car, right there in the comfort of your house, while walking the dog down the street, right there on your job, wherever you believe in Jesus Christ and prayed and asked him to save you, you’re saved. We all love ornate and beautiful churches. Church buildings, but you don’t have to be in the church to get saved. I was raised in the church, but I got saved in spite of the church, and I got saved outside of the church building. I got saved in my dorm room in the Air Force over 47 years ago now, by the grace of God. So you can get saved anywhere. So congratulations on that. On believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and praying and asking him to save you.

And here are your next steps. Find a Bible believing church. I didn’t say you have to join it. But find a Bible believing church. And let them know that you’re saved and you need to get baptized. Let the Lord lead you to the church he wants you to join. Number two, pray every day, three times a day at least, like King David and the prophet Daniel. Learn the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew chapter 6 and pray, pray, pray until you meet God and Jesus face to face. Number three, read the Bible every day. Start with the Gospel of John and then read the other three Gospels and the whole New Testament. And then read the Old Testament until you meet with God face to face. That means for the rest of your life. And then number four, obey the word of God for Jesus Christ said, if you love me, keep my commandments.

Number five, be a witness for the Lord. Tell other people about Jesus Christ as you heard about him tonight yourself. He will help. God bless you, dear friends.

Until next time, pray for me as I pray for thee. Remember the motto of the Marines. Semper Fidelis. Be always faithful to the Lord. And remember the motto of the Marines. Air Force and the Space Force. Semper Supra. Always above. Keep your heart and mind. Stay on the Lord above and he’ll keep you in perfect peace. Don’t worry about the dangers of AI. Just put your trust in God. Keep looking up for your redemption draweth nigh. God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you and I love you in the Lord. Lord willing, I’ll see you soon. I’ll see you next time. God bless you.

He is the Essence national best-selling author of Letters to Young Black Men and the Amazon best-selling author of Letters to Young Black Women (African-American category). He has authored over 100 books.

He is also the founder, president, and editor-in-chief of the 20-year-old BlackChristianNews.com (BCNN1.com), which has impacted every denomination in the evangelical and Christian world and has influenced presidents, the U.S. government, governments around the world, and the public square. BlackChristianNews.com has been named the #1 Black Christian website and blog in the world for four years running by the independent Feedspot and is on the list of the top 60 Christian news sites in the world—red, yellow, black, or white.

He has preached the Gospel and the Word of God in person across America and in over 24 countries to thousands of people. He has preached the Gospel and the Word of God to millions of people around the world with the help of the internet, preaching live and on-demand multiple times a day for over ten years, to this very day. His mottos are “Crying in the Wilderness,” “Exiled on the Isle of Patmos,” and “Preaching the Gospel by any means necessary,” all for the glory of God and Jesus Christ.

Daniel Whyte III is the president of the over-40-year-old Gospel Light Evangelistic Society International and the over-37-year-old Gospel Light House of Prayer International. He is known worldwide as the prophet who predicted the Coronavirus Plague more than 10 years before it hit, in recorded preaching and writing. God also led him to guide thousands through the Coronavirus Plague that killed over 20 million people because of the sins in the Judas-Jezebel-Laodicean church.

Daniel Whyte III’s greatest blessing in this life is his “quiver full” of 10 children—Daniella (Danni), Daniel IV, Danita Evangeline, Danae Mary-Louise, Daniqua Grace, Danyel Ezekiel, Danyelle Elizabeth Breedlove, Danielle Tekeela, Duran-Daniel, and the first Daniel IV (deceased and in heaven with the Lord)—along with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Daniel Whyte III has been unblissfully but sexually satisfyingly married to his first and only wife, Meriqua Whyte of Christiana, Jamaica, for over 37 years since December 19, 1987. Jesus Christ said: “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” Even though many evangelicals, charismatics, and Protestants try to act as if these words of Jesus Christ are not a reality in our modern Christianity—primarily because of the Satanic-driven prosperity gospel and an over-positive philosophy, which is a lie not based in reality or biblical truth—the words of Jesus Christ are true for every person who preaches the Gospel. The outcomes of the Gospel are a changed life and opposition from family, lukewarm Christians, Laodicean-Judas pastors and churches, the world, and the devil. This is a reality in our present evil world.

While Daniel Whyte III thoroughly enjoys his married life because he did not allow his wife to have her way at any point and was and is solidly, and biblically the head of his household throughout the marriage—often quoting Joshua, “As for me and my house, we’re going to serve the Lord” “up in here!”—and because his wife never failed in the very important area of sex, which he got married for in the first place to avoid sinning against God, he has especially enjoyed the privilege and joy of raising his children in the Lord virtually by himself. He served the Lord with them every day of their lives, from the time they were born until they graduated from college, became adults, and moved on.

However, his wife, Meriqua Whyte—motivated by Satan, with a Pharaoh-style pride mixed with the well-known female Jamaican-style pride, stubbornness, rebelliousness, and witchcraft—has been his greatest Judas enemy in the world and has been what Paul spoke of: a “messenger of Satan” and a “thorn in the flesh.” Amazingly, and by the grace of God, that Satanic evil opposition has spurred Daniel Whyte III on to preach the Gospel probably more times than any man on record. God has honored him because he did not “hearken to the voice of his wife.” Whyte tells other Christian men to only hearken to the voice of God and Jesus Christ—not to their wives, as so many thousands of church men have been taught by pastors and other older men throughout the years. Remember, we are in this worldwide, multi-generational mess because Adam hearkened to the voice of his wife and not to the voice of God.

Before they were married, Daniel Whyte III told his wife Meriqua Whyte that they would not do family life as her parents did, because their married life was hellacious and ended in divorce, as did some of her other family members, including the aunt she was living with. He also told his wife they would not do family life as his parents did, because it was also hellacious and out of order since his mother was the head of the household, not his father. But thanks be to God, they never got a divorce. Whyte told his wife before they got married that they were going to do it God’s way according to Ephesians chapters 5 and 6, or no way at all. And then he asked his wife, “Are you willing to do marriage God’s way according to Ephesians chapters 5 and 6?” And she said yes. Whyte told her before they got married that if she did not live up to her end of the deal, all bets were off.

Because Daniel Whyte III’s wife, Meriqua Whyte, was so proud, unsubmissive, stubborn, and rebellious after they got married, God led him to read Ephesians chapters 5 and 6 every day in their family devotions throughout their marriage. In the first year of their marriage, Daniel Whyte III also gave his wife a list of verses for women from the Word of God for her to read, which she still reads to this day. He also bought her many books to read to help her be the wife God wanted her to be.

Whyte realized early in the marriage that his wife was not a born-again, saved person, even though she lied and said she was before they got married. After over 37 years of marriage, she is still not saved, never bearing any fruit of a saved person, to the point of not even wanting to tell her children, “I love you,” and not wanting to hug them when they were little children, even after her husband told her to do so. She also hated the daily family devotions that her husband led and tried to hinder them. She also demonically hated and tried to hinder every Gospel preaching service to this very day.

However, only by the grace of God, they are still married, and despite the devil constantly working through his wife to try to hinder him from preaching the Word of God, he is still preaching the Gospel and the Word of God live and on-demand. His ministry reaches over 148,800 people per month with over 21,000 unique views per month, reaching 149 countries, preaching the Gospel and the Word of God in 2 to 3 services a day, 7 days a week. Glory be to God!

Mrs. Meriqua Whyte’s Apology to her Husband and Their 7 Children for not Being a Biblical Wife or Mother

Mrs. Meriqua Whyte, the Wife of Daniel Whyte III, Gave him the Best Father’s Day Gift Ever About 10 Years Ago When She Unexpectedly and Voluntarily Apologized for the First Time to Him and Their 7 Children for Not Being the Wife, Mother, and Christian Example of the Woman She Should Have Been Over the Past 37 Years of Marriage.

Here is what Mrs. Meriqua Whyte wrote ten years ago after verbally apologizing to the entire family on Father’s Day, right before church service:

Over thirty years of marriage. Over thirty years of ups and downs. Over thirty years of trying to make our problems a personal thing between my husband and me. Thankfully, he did not allow me to do that and kept telling me it was between God and me—over thirty years of acting on my feelings and not on what the Bible says. Over thirty years of refusing to obey God’s simple command to a wife—to be obedient to your husband in all things. Over thirty years of disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, and dishonesty, all rooted in pride. Over thirty years of simply not choosing to mature as a Christian.

God has been dealing with me for over thirty years now about changing my attitude and behavior as a wife, which has manifested itself in disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, dishonesty, having an ungodly attitude and spirit, and simply not being the wife, mother, or example of a Christian woman that I should have been throughout the years. (By the way, for those of you who may be thinking that my disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, and dishonesty have resulted in adultery, I will say here that I have never committed any adultery or had sex with another man besides my husband, Daniel Whyte III, since I was born.)

God kept telling me I needed to stop my rebellious and stubborn behavior, apologize to my husband and children, and get my heart right with him, my husband, and my children. He sent others my way to tell me how to behave:

My husband, but I didn’t want to hear it from him.

Other Christian women speakers

Other preachers

Books and other materials, but I would not take heed.

I knew what to do, but I chose not to do it. The devil had me thinking and believing—as he is having a lot of wives and mothers think and believe—that your relationship with your husband and how you respond to him, whether positive or negative, will not affect your relationship with your children or your relationship with God. I say without hesitation that this is one of the devil’s lies, and sad to say, many wives and mothers are falling for this lie.

Another lie of the devil that Christian wives are falling for is that you can still have a strong relationship with God without being submissive to your husband. Lie! Lie! Lie! There is no truth to this. I know because I have experienced this and am still experiencing it as I go through this breaking process, which is not happening overnight.

Even throughout my years of rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride, I still kept praying the prayer I used to pray daily before I got married: “Lord, make me be exactly what You want me to be. Lord, break, make, and mold me into what You want me to be.” Well, God took that prayer seriously, and once you accept Him, He will begin the breaking process. It’s up to us how long that breaking process will take. For me, sad to say, it has taken over 30 years, and the breaking is not complete. In what way is God breaking me down right now? Well, our children have grown up. The three oldest have gone through and are still going through college, have gotten their degrees, and some are working on their second, third, and fourth degrees, launching their careers and moving out. God slapped me into reality and truly intensified the breaking process. My husband told me before our first child was born, and repeatedly while the children were young, that my job was to love our children and make positive memories with them, and that if I did that, I would have a wonderful relationship with them as adults in the time to come. Well, I disobeyed God and my husband, who did not let up on his duties. And he has a wonderful relationship with our children, even the girls, and I don’t. However, God led me to finally break down the day before Father’s Day, and while I was helping my husband get dressed to preach, I asked him if I could apologize to him and the entire family. That’s the first time I ever did that on my own. Throughout the years, he has always told me that I needed to get my heart right with God, him, and my children; otherwise, I would never have the joy and peace of the Lord in my life. However, I kept on lying and denying that I was the problem.

Here is what I said to my husband and children on Saturday afternoon, June 17, 2017, the day before Father’s Day. My husband told the entire family that this was the best Father’s Day gift I have ever given to him:

“Daddy, children, I apologize for not being the wife, mother, and example of a Christian woman I should have been throughout the years. I have shown nothing but pride, disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, and a bad attitude and spirit toward God and my husband in front of you. My disobedience and rebelliousness have caused much unnecessary unrest and upheaval in the family. As my husband told me, things could have gone much better if I had obeyed God’s word from the beginning. Please accept my apology, and I am asking you to forgive me.”

I brought the diminishing of peace and joy in my life on myself throughout the years. Not having a proper relationship with God, my husband, and my children, I brought on myself—all because I chose the disobedient route. My number one desire is to live a life of peace—peace with God, my husband, and my children. I have learned that peace will not come as long as I live in disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride.

I will end this with two notes: (1) Happy Father’s Day to my husband: you have been a great husband and father. (2) Happy Children’s Day to my children: You all have been great children. I have no complaints whatsoever against my husband and, of course, my children; you have never been at fault. My bad behavior is all on me, and I’m sorry I put you through this. May God bless your lives, and I love you.

Ephesians 5:22 – 6:20 (KJV)

Below is the passage in the Bible that Daniel Whyte III read in their family devotions every day for decades. It covers the biblical duties of the husband, the wife, and the children, and includes how to fight the devil, who seeks to destroy the family.

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The Gospel in a Nutshell

If you were to die today, where would you go: Heaven or Hell? If you’re not sure, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

Jesus Christ said the most important words ever spoken in the history of the world when He said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

The Most Important Question in the World: Have You Been Twice Born?

This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447, titled “The Big Question.” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says: that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.

“Have You Been Born Again?”

The question is not, “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but, “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life, likewise, is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

A New Nature Needed

By physical birth, we become partakers of human nature; by being born again, we become “partakers of the divine nature.” A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting.” The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”

Not “Trying” But “Trusting”

“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ; it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ, who has done it all! He has “finished the work,” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross, and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” The Bible states in John 1:12-13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

You are born again; you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in, and life begins!

What Is Meant By “Believe”?

To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God… now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.”

The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent and to receive Christ as Savior and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!

May I Know That I Am Born Again?

This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved; you are “born again,”; you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!

One Final Word

You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again,” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again,” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead, and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer:

Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried, and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart, save my soul, and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me repent of my past sins. Help me turn from my old, evil life and follow You into a new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
