I Prayed have prayed
Lord, grant our leaders courage, wisdom, and resolve to defend freedom against China’s growing threats and preserve truth in our time.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Senator Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) has raised a sobering warning: America is in a race with China over who will dominate the future of artificial intelligence. At the POLITICO AI & Tech Summit, McCormick emphasized that China is closing the gap in key areas of technology, and unless the United States takes bold action, it risks losing its leadership role.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

He described China as an adversary unlike any America has faced in modern times—an opponent not only in military and economic strength, but also in the realm of technological supremacy. McCormick believes the U.S. is still ahead, but only if the nation continues to attract the brightest talent, invest in innovation, and prioritize the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

McCormick also acknowledged that the coming AI boom will bring massive disruption, calling it “the industrial revolution on steroids.” Like past technological revolutions, this one will reshape economies, industries, and even daily life. The challenge for America is not only to lead in developing AI but to lead with wisdom and integrity.

For Christians, this is a moment to pray earnestly. Technology itself is not evil; it is a tool. But tools can be used for good or for harm. If AI falls under the influence of regimes that reject God and liberty, it could become a force for oppression. On the other hand, if America stewards this gift with faith, responsibility, and moral clarity, it could be harnessed to bless humanity, preserve freedom, and even bring justice.

As McCormick noted, the Trump administration’s emphasis on energy independence and AI advancement is a critical step in ensuring America’s strength. Yet ultimately, no strategy will succeed without God’s blessing. The Church must intercede now, asking the Lord to raise up leaders who will pursue truth, protect liberty, and honor Him even in the age of machines.

May God confuse those who would use AI for evil and enlighten those who seek God’s guidance on using AI. I trust in God. 🙏😇🙏❤️

Lord Jesus, I pray that You wake up our leaders to this growing Chinese threat-AI. The CCP would love to take our country over- there’s no secret there. our national governmental leaders truly need to enact safeguards to prevent this from happening. If President Trump is truly about America first, then he needs to stop trying to be an international diplomat, and start doing what is needed to protect our nation from CCP takeover.

Heavenly Father, in praise and thanksgiving we place our eyes on Your precious word. Isaiah 41:10 “Do not fear, for I AM with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I AM your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” LORD, our help comes from You maker of heaven and earth. Thank You for Your everlasting promises that can not fail. Thank You that You equip us in all seasons. Thank You that You have laid out the path and You light it for us. Let wisdom arise from Your throne for this time as we exult Your name. May our eyes stay firmly fixed on You, our hands raised in praise and thanksgiving and our hearts filled with hope and peace through Jesus. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

I am praying for The Lord to give President Trump discernment on this AI. I pray for God to stop China from going forward against the United States. I thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer. I pray for the safety of Americans and Israel. America, like I said before has got to get on their knees. All this about girls wanting to be boys and vice versa is straight from Satan. God please forgive America and I also pray for the Christians that are living in terrible countries, who do not worship Jesus Christ. God help us

Yes, it is always and forever a time to intercede faithfully! However, we are not to worry.

Philippians 4:6-7  Don’t worry (or be anxious) about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

We trust in Your Sovereign plan and purposes, YHVH. May we be discerning, knowing that AI can be a tool for good or evil – and not be deceived.

It is incredible that we have come to this time, and yet America AI has no skeleton of the nature of what makes the United States good and the salvation of Jesus Christ. All the designers and programmers and creators are pagan, secular, Socialist and liberal Leftest, and worse. The China AI has a deliberate edge, and objective, after their determined objective, and the total disregard for human life. We are at the inflection point of time when the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ and the 7 year tribulation comes upon the Earth to try all nation in preparation from the return of Christ to this Earth to establish his global kingdom and rule the world with a rod of Iron with his saints. The China AI is brutal, harsh, and will demand the total destruction of the United States when it’s calculation of the United States is not paying attention, fight amongst itself, being distracted by internal civil unrest, riots, lawlessness, anarchy and the like; hating and killing one another; then China AI will see they clearly have the advantage, and demand our annihilation. Today if you hear his voice harden not your hearts, and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved.
