I Prayed have prayed
Lord Jesus, we are engaged in a daily battle against deception. Please give us a strong spirit of discernment so we can identify the lies and counter them with truth.
Reading Time: 5 minutes

Lies do not seem to be going out of style. In fact, for some, they’re like a fashion trend. The truth isn’t always popular in a world of conformity, but we stand by it nonetheless. We must clothe ourselves with righteousness, not with what is trendy.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

Liberals Ignore the Plight of Migrant Children

The first lie told by the Left this week involves tens of thousands of migrant children who have been rescued from human trafficking operations. While Leftists have insisted there’s nothing to see, the truth is that loose border policies have fueled and perpetuated this horrendous problem.

Border Czar Tom Homan explained, “Over 62,000 children found by the Trump Admin—children that weren’t even being looked for under the Biden Admin… Some of these children were in sex trafficking when we found them. Some were in forced labor… I can’t even discuss some of the mistreatment.” 

 Homan specified that “over half a million children were smuggled into this country under Joe Biden.” He further stated that Democrats “were complicit” when it came to finding trafficked children who were being sexually abused in the worst ways possible.

The Trump Administration has made border security a priority, and this shows in the data. US Customs and Border Patrol numbers reveal that there were over 301,981 encounters at the southwest border in December 2024, but this plummeted to 11,710 in October 2025 (the most recent month for which data is available).

The Left undermines national security by urging Americans to protest and even fight against ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). They claim they are “saving democracy,” but they are actually propping up a system that allows innocent children to be used and abused.

We must continue to pray that the pipeline for human trafficking is shut down completely and our border is protected.

AI as a Religion

The next lie told by the Left this week comes out of Silicon Valley, where AI flourishes and leftism soars. Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt spoke at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, where he said that he hopes AI will become a new religion. Praising his globalist mentor, Henry Kissinger, Schmidt suggested that AI isn’t something people should take up arms against. “In magic when people don’t understand things, they either decide it’s a new religion, or they take up arms. Are we going to take up arms to AI, or make it a religion…I hope it’s a religion because I benefit.”

Schmidt went on to pose the question of what it means to be human and how mankind would cope with an artificial entity that is intellectually superior. He explained that very soon AI would be able to learn by itself without the prompting of humans.

“At some point…you get what is called recursive self-improvement, and recursive self-improvement is when it (AI) is learning on its own… if you ask the San Francisco people, they’ll say two years…if you ask me, I double that to four years, which is really soon.”

Tech Leaders Admit that AI is Dangerous

Though Schmidt said he hoped AI would become a type of religion in his interview, he admitted, “We’re running a mass experiment on human development by deploying these systems that are incredibly addictive… for young people…and they can really be manipulated. What does it mean for a child whose best friend is non-human? I don’t know… we have no data…will boys and girls ultimately rebel and say I only love humans; I hate computers? We just don’t know.”

Schmidt’s long-time friend Henry Kissinger stated at a conference in 2019 on AI and National Security that “Google is a threat to civilization as I understand it.” He added that “I’ve become convinced that AI and its surrounding disciplines is going to bring a change in human consciousness exceeding that of the Enlightenment.”

The Leftists of the tech world talk out of both ends of their mouth. On one hand, they praise AI, while on the other, they admit that it’s a threat to humanity. The core problem lies in the fact that they are not consulting the One who has all the answers about AI and human civilization–Jesus Christ.

An artificial entity should never be part of a “religion” because it’s soulless and devoid of God. Additionally, AI and humans should never be placed on the same level, either intellectually or spiritually. In the end, AI is unpredictable, especially in the wrong hands.

Evolutionist Calls Out Transgenderism

The third lie told by the Left this week revolves around evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins. It seems that even this liberal thinker is fed up with transgender ideology and its lies. Recently, he voiced his outrage on social media.

Dawkins responded to a post by famed author J.K. Rowling, where she made the point that those who support the castration of children and gender mutilation want everyone to “be nice” and use the “right” words to describe something that is utterly horrific and damaging to youth.

Rowling stated, “Either a man can be a woman, or he can’t. Either women deserve rights, or they don’t. Either there’s a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn’t. Either you’re on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you’re not. The alternative to being ‘blunt’–using accurate, factual language to describe what is going on–was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We’ve always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.”

In response, Dawkins wrote, “Be nice? Yes, let’s be nice. What is NOT nice is hormonally or surgically mutilating children, cheating your way to stealing women’s athletic medals, lying your way into women’s spaces, debauching language, etc.”

Dawkins refuses to acknowledge God, but he does believe that men and women have biological characteristics that cannot be changed. Earlier this year, Dawkins left the board of an atheist advocacy group after it censored an article that argued that gender is tied to biology.

Richard Dawkins and J.K. Rowling are liberal in many areas of politics, but both are taking a stand against radical leftists who continue to defy biological reality. This isn’t easy to do because many of their liberal followers are pushing back with hatred and vitriol. Let’s pray they will continue to fight against the madness. More importantly, pray that they would have an encounter with Jesus Christ that shapes their worldview and radically transforms their lives.

These are just a few of the lies told by the Left this week. How are you praying?

Praying that we will return to our senses, and our knees, EARNESTLY SEEKING the only one who can Save. Just like with this season we are in, we have chosen to turn our Savior’s birth into a “holiday” that celebrates nothing much about or for him. I am sickened by how far away from him we are getting and we wonder why there is all this going on????? Even churches now days barely touch on his birth and its importance — putting up pagan idol trees Jeremiah 3 (some three and four across the stages.) Everyone gives each other presents while we give Jesus nothing. My prayer this year is that we return to celebrating him and not each other.

Happy Birthday Jesus, My Lord and Savior

However you choose to deck the halls,
Whether tinsel and garland or colorful balls.
Please remember the ONE at the celebrations core,
Who was born to die so you could live for evermore.

Satan and Santa have the same letters you see,
So do Present and Serpent – it’s no mystery.
It was well designed to keep you stressed out and tired,
So, Jesus’ Birthday would be totally mired.

Rushing and busy with all sorts of behavior,
So, there would be no time to consider our SAVIOR.
Remember that he was born to save us from our Sin,
If we would but accept him and for him live.

Gathering trees to adorn with colorful baubles,
become our homes focus – pagan idols.
Jeremiah 10 v3 and 4 warn us about doing it,
But because the world does it, we follow suit.

This year why not give Jesus the ultimate Gift,
One of time in his presence while you take time to Pray.
Thanking him for his sacrifice, mercy and grace
Remembering he forgave A debt we could never repay.
