  1. 0:00What if I told you that every time you
  2. 0:01turn on your screen, you're not watching
  3. 0:03entertainment, but receiving
  4. 0:05programming? The same way a computer is
  5. 0:07coded to perform specific tasks. Your
  6. 0:10mind is being conditioned to accept
  7. 0:12realities that contradict scripture
  8. 0:14itself. This isn't speculation.
  9. 0:17Official documents from entertainment
  10. 0:19industry insiders confirm what many
  11. 0:21suspected. Filmmakers intentionally
  12. 0:24plant messages to reshape world views.
  13. 0:27Academic research from institutions like
  14. 0:29John's Hopkins and peer-reviewed
  15. 0:31journals demonstrates that television
  16. 0:33literally alters brain structure. CIA
  17. 0:36declassified records reveal decades of
  18. 0:38collaboration with Hollywood to [music]
  19. 0:40shape public perception. These aren't
  20. 0:43conspiracy theories. They're documented
  21. 0:45facts from the industry's own mouths.
  22. 0:47And [music] this isn't sensationalism or
  23. 0:49vague prophecy. We're examining official
  24. 0:52statements from directors, producers,
  25. 0:54and actors. peer-reviewed neuroscience
  26. 0:56studies and direct quotes from
  27. 0:58entertainment executives who openly
  28. 0:59admit their agenda. Every claim will be
  29. 1:02backed by verifiable sources. In 2025,
  30. 1:05the average person consumes over 11
  31. 1:07hours of electronic media daily. That's
  32. 1:10a 400% increase since the 1970s and
  33. 1:12artificial intelligence is about to
  34. 1:14flood the market with unlimited content
  35. 1:16generation, making this the most
  36. 1:18critical moment in history to understand
  37. 1:20what's happening to our minds. Picture
  38. 1:23this. A Hollywood producer sits across
  39. 1:25from a doctor at an urgent care clinic
  40. 1:27in Los Angeles County and casually
  41. 1:29admits, "We want to shape the way you
  42. 1:31see the world. Not entertain, not
  43. 1:34inform, shape."
  44. 1:37Another filmmaker named Kevin Smith
  45. 1:39explains his process on camera. Whip a
  46. 1:42little moral at them. Whip a little of
  47. 1:44what my view of the world is because
  48. 1:46that's what every good filmmaker does.
  49. 1:48Meanwhile, a mother approaches a youth
  50. 1:50pastor in tears because her 8-year-old
  51. 1:53daughter can no longer distinguish
  52. 1:54between Disney magic and biblical
  53. 1:56miracles.
  54. 1:58The question isn't whether Hollywood
  55. 1:59programs minds, it's how deep the
  56. 2:02programming goes.
  57. 2:04Research published in the peer-reviewed
  58. 2:06journal Psychological Science proves
  59. 2:08teenagers exposed to sexual content in
  60. 2:10movies start having sex earlier and
  61. 2:12engage in riskier behavior. [music]
  62. 2:15Studies in the Journal of the American
  63. 2:17Medical Association,
  64. 2:19psychiatry reveal pornography physically
  65. 2:21shrinks brain volume. The creator of
  66. 2:24Desperate Housewives, Mark Cherry,
  67. 2:27stated on record that he deliberately
  68. 2:28[music] planted gay neighbors to change
  69. 2:31perception by planting little seeds in
  70. 2:33the minds of people. These aren't
  71. 2:35isolated incidents. They're coordinated
  72. 2:37psychological operations. And the
  73. 2:39timeline is collapsing. By age 9, 10% of
  74. 2:42children have been exposed to
  75. 2:44pornography. By age 13, that number
  76. 2:47reaches 50%. The average age of first
  77. 2:50exposure is now 11 years old. During the
  78. 2:53most critical period of frontal lobe
  79. 2:55development, which continues until age
  80. 2:5725 or 26. The window to protect this
  81. 3:01generation is closing fast. Before this
  82. 3:03video ends, you'll discover the biblical
  83. 3:05prophecy that predicted this exact flood
  84. 3:08of media deception. a verse written
  85. 3:10thousands of years ago that describes
  86. 3:12with shocking precision what's happening
  87. 3:14right now. But first, we need to
  88. 3:17understand the mechanisms, how the
  89. 3:19technology works, what it does to your
  90. 3:22brain, and why Satan has invested so
  91. 3:24heavily in this particular weapon. We'll
  92. 3:27examine the facts first, trace the
  93. 3:29spiritual connection second, and reveal
  94. 3:31the prophetic implications last.
  95. 3:34Stay until the end because that final
  96. 3:37revelation will change how you see
  97. 3:39everything.
  98. 3:43Let's start with something you've never
  99. 3:45thought about before. The word
  100. 3:46television, break it down, tell a
  101. 3:48vision. It's not just a clever play on
  102. 3:51words. Language reveals intention. When
  103. 3:54you turn on your TV, someone is telling
  104. 3:55you a vision. They're showing you how to
  105. 3:58see the world. And the word
  106. 4:00broadcasting,
  107. 4:02it comes from agriculture. casting seed
  108. 4:04broadly across a field. [music] But in
  109. 4:06older contexts, the word casting had
  110. 4:09another meaning, casting spells.
  111. 4:12Broadcasting means casting widely to
  112. 4:14passive audiences. The medium itself is
  113. 4:17designed for mass influence before a
  114. 4:19single story is even told. Think about
  115. 4:21the word programming. We use it for TV
  116. 4:24schedules without a second thought. But
  117. 4:27programming is what you do to computers.
  118. 4:30You write code to make machines perform
  119. 4:32specific tasks. Television programming
  120. 4:35isn't just a schedule. It's the code
  121. 4:37being written into your mind. Media
  122. 4:40isn't neutral entertainment. It never
  123. 4:42was. From the beginning, it was designed
  124. 4:44to program the same way you'd program a
  125. 4:47machine, except the machine is you. The
  126. 4:50computer is your brain, and the code is
  127. 4:53running every time you press play. This
  128. 4:55isn't conspiracy. It's linguistic
  129. 4:58reality. The terms the industry chose
  130. 5:00for itself reveal what it always
  131. 5:02intended to do. Shape perception,
  132. 5:05influence belief, control vision. Before
  133. 5:08content even matters, the medium itself
  134. 5:10is doing the work. Have you noticed how
  135. 5:13movies predict major world events? How
  136. 5:16things that shocked us 20 years ago are
  137. 5:18normalized today. That's not accident.
  138. 5:21That's design. There's even a term from
  139. 5:24fiction that describes this perfectly.
  140. 5:27The ludicco technique from a clockwork
  141. 5:29orange force conditioning through
  142. 5:31repeated viewing. Eyes held open. Images
  143. 5:34flooding in. The victim unable to look
  144. 5:37away.
  145. 5:38The film presents it as dystopian
  146. 5:40horror. But what if I told you it's
  147. 5:42closer to documentary than fantasy?
  148. 5:44Scripture warns us about this. Isaiah
  149. 5:478:19 to20 says, "And when they shall say
  150. 5:50unto you, seek unto them that have
  151. 5:52familiar spirits, and unto wizards that
  152. 5:55peep and that mutter, should not a
  153. 5:57people [music] seek unto their God, for
  154. 5:59the living to the dead, to the law, and
  155. 6:02to the testimony? If they speak not
  156. 6:04according to this word, it is because
  157. 6:06there is no light in them."
  158. 6:09The prophet is asking, "Why would you
  159. 6:11seek guidance from sources that
  160. 6:13contradict God's word? If they're not
  161. 6:15speaking according to scripture, there's
  162. 6:17no light in them, only darkness
  163. 6:19pretending to be wisdom." The word
  164. 6:21entertainment itself comes from roots
  165. 6:23meaning to hold between, to grasp and
  166. 6:27control. Theater director Anne Bogart
  167. 6:29admitted, "Entertainment might provide
  168. 6:31access to deeper parts of the human
  169. 6:33experience beyond gratification and
  170. 6:35towards insight. The industry knows it
  171. 6:38changes people. They've always known
  172. 6:40this is the foundation. Everything that
  173. 6:43follows builds on this one truth. Media
  174. 6:45consumption is not passive. It's active
  175. 6:48reprogramming. And now that we
  176. 6:50understand the weapon, let's look at how
  177. 6:52it's wielded.
  178. 6:56There's a term you need to know,
  179. 6:58predictive programming. Philosopher Alan
  180. 7:01Watt defined it as a subtle form of
  181. 7:03psychological [music] conditioning
  182. 7:04provided by the media to acquaint the
  183. 7:06public with planned societal changes.
  184. 7:09Here's how it works. When those changes
  185. 7:11are actually implemented, the public
  186. 7:14accepts them as natural progressions.
  187. 7:17Resistance drops because people feel
  188. 7:18like they've already seen this future.
  189. 7:21It feels inevitable, familiar, safe.
  190. 7:25You've experienced this without knowing
  191. 7:26it. The Simpsons predictions that seem
  192. 7:30eerily accurate. The [music] 2011 film
  193. 7:33Contagion, which pre-programmed pandemic
  194. 7:36protocols years before the lockdowns.
  195. 7:39George Orwell's 1984 and Aldis Huxley's
  196. 7:42Brave New World. No longer fiction, but
  197. 7:45operating manuals for modern society.
  198. 7:48These aren't lucky [music] guesses.
  199. 7:49They're blueprints shown to the public
  200. 7:51in advance. The core principle is
  201. 7:53simple, [music] but devastating. They
  202. 7:56show you the future, so you won't fight
  203. 7:57it when it arrives. Your mind has
  204. 7:59already processed the scenario. When it
  205. 8:02happens in real life, it doesn't trigger
  206. 8:04alarm. It triggers recognition. You've
  207. 8:06been preconditioned to accept it. Now,
  208. 8:08here's where it gets spiritual. Not all
  209. 8:11predictive programming is human planned.
  210. 8:13Yes, governments and corporations use it
  211. 8:15deliberately, but the ultimate
  212. 8:16originator is spiritual. Satan has been
  213. 8:19running predictive programming
  214. 8:20operations for millennia. And
  215. 8:23understanding his ancient blueprint
  216. 8:25helps us recognize his modern methods.
  217. 8:30[music] Before Jesus was born, Satan
  218. 8:32created false fulfillments of messianic
  219. 8:34prophecies. Long before Christ arrived,
  220. 8:37the enemy planted counterfeits
  221. 8:39throughout pagan religions. The Egyptian
  222. 8:41god Horus, virgin birth, disciples,
  223. 8:44death, and resurrection. The Greek
  224. 8:47Dionis, same claims. The Indian Krishna,
  225. 8:51virgin birth, [music] miracles,
  226. 8:54crucifixion. The Persian Mithra, born
  227. 8:57December 25th, visited by wise men, died
  228. 9:00and rose again. One counterfeit after
  229. 9:03another, spread across cultures and
  230. 9:05centuries. Why?
  231. 9:08To desensitize people to the genuine
  232. 9:10fulfillment of scripture. When Jesus
  233. 9:13actually came and did these things,
  234. 9:15religious leaders were confused. The
  235. 9:18gospel's progress slowed because people
  236. 9:20had already seen these [music] stories
  237. 9:21before. The real Messiah looked too much
  238. 9:24like the counterfeit Satan had planted
  239. 9:26in advance. This is the pattern. Satan
  240. 9:30always frontr runs truth with lies. He
  241. 9:32shows you the fake first so you'll
  242. 9:34[music] reject the real later. He
  243. 9:36conditions you to dismiss divine truth
  244. 9:38because you've already seen cheap
  245. 9:39imitations. It's the oldest propaganda
  246. 9:42technique in spiritual [music] warfare.
  247. 9:45And what worked 2,000 years ago is
  248. 9:47working now. [music] Satan isn't
  249. 9:50inventing new strategies. He's just
  250. 9:51using new delivery systems. The
  251. 9:54blueprint is [music] ancient. The
  252. 9:56technology is modern. The goal is the
  253. 9:58same. Make you unable to recognize truth
  254. 10:01when it arrives because lies got there
  255. 10:03first. This isn't random cultural drift.
  256. 10:06It's cosmic conflict playing out through
  257. 10:08entertainment. And once you see the
  258. 10:11ancient pattern, the modern applications
  259. 10:13become clear.
  260. 10:16[music]
  261. 10:17Satan's strategy isn't scattered. It's
  262. 10:19surgical. He's attacking on three
  263. 10:22specific fronts. Each one targeting a
  264. 10:24biblical truth that [music] will matter
  265. 10:25desperately in the final crisis. Let's
  266. 10:28look at each front carefully. Front one,
  267. 10:31spiritualism. Communicating with the
  268. 10:33dead. Movies like Harry Potter,
  269. 10:36Twilight, and Doctor Strange normalize
  270. 10:38necromancy.
  271. 10:39Magic is presented as cool, normal, or
  272. 10:42even scientific rather than forbidden.
  273. 10:44Ghosts are friendly. Mediums are
  274. 10:47helpful. The barrier between living and
  275. 10:50dead dissolves into fantasy
  276. 10:51entertainment. But here's what most
  277. 10:54people don't realize. This connects
  278. 10:56directly to the biblical teaching about
  279. 10:58the state of the dead.
  280. 11:00Scripture is clear that the dead know
  281. 11:03nothing. They're asleep until
  282. 11:04resurrection. They can't communicate
  283. 11:06with the living, which means every
  284. 11:08ghost, every spirit, every medium
  285. 11:10channeling a loved one is actually a
  286. 11:12demon impersonating that person. But
  287. 11:14Hollywood has pre-programmed audiences
  288. 11:16to accept these encounters as real. When
  289. 11:19the great deception comes, when
  290. 11:20supernatural manifestations flood the
  291. 11:22world, people will be ready to believe
  292. 11:24they're seeing grandma or a deceased
  293. 11:27child instead of recognizing demonic
  294. 11:29impersonation. Media built the
  295. 11:31framework. Now the enemy just has to
  296. 11:34activate it.
  297. 11:35Front two, the false messiah. Superman
  298. 11:39conditioning. Superhero movies have
  299. 11:41become the dominant genre of our time.
  300. 11:44Superman, Thor, the Avengers. All
  301. 11:47conditioning masses to expect a savior
  302. 11:49descending from the sky who fixes
  303. 11:50earthly problems with supernatural
  304. 11:52power. This isn't innocent mythology.
  305. 11:55It's preparing the world to accept
  306. 11:57Satan's final deception when he
  307. 11:59personates Christ. The whole world has
  308. 12:01been trained to look up, expect a
  309. 12:03powerful being to descend from heaven,
  310. 12:05and trust that being as Messiah. But
  311. 12:07notice something else. Marvel villains
  312. 12:10are often iterations of Jehovah. Thanos
  313. 12:13mocking the flood and the second coming,
  314. 12:14declaring half of creation must be
  315. 12:16destroyed for balance. Galactis, the
  316. 12:19devourer of worlds, portrayed as God,
  317. 12:22the destroyer. Even the Marvel universe
  318. 12:24designation earth 616 is numerology.
  319. 12:28666US 50. 50 in biblical numerology
  320. 12:32represents jubilee, freedom, doing God's
  321. 12:36will. [music] Take that away and you get
  322. 12:38616. The do as thou wilt philosophy of
  323. 12:41Satanism. It's hidden in plain sight.
  324. 12:45[music] Front three. The alien
  325. 12:48deception.
  326. 12:51Science fiction has conditioned belief
  327. 12:52that beings from above are
  328. 12:54technologically advanced aliens, not
  329. 12:57spiritual entities. Decades of films and
  330. 13:00shows have built this framework. When
  331. 13:02lying wonders appear in the sky when
  332. 13:04supernatural phenomena become
  333. 13:06undeniable, the world will interpret
  334. 13:08everything through an alien lens rather
  335. 13:10than recognizing spiritual warfare.
  336. 13:13Fallen angels will be called
  337. 13:15extraterrestrials.
  338. 13:17Demonic manifestations will be explained
  339. 13:19as advanced technology. The conditioning
  340. 13:21is complete. The interpretation is
  341. 13:24pre-installed. Three fronts, three lies,
  342. 13:28three biblical truths under direct
  343. 13:30assault. And all of it delivered through
  344. 13:32entertainment you were told was
  345. 13:34harmless. And scripture warned us this
  346. 13:35was coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 says,
  347. 13:39"And for this cause God shall send them
  348. 13:42strong delusion, that they should
  349. 13:44believe a lie, that they all might be
  350. 13:46damned who believed not the truth, but
  351. 13:48had pleasure in unrighteousness."
  352. 13:51Strong delusion, not weak, not
  353. 13:53temporary, strong. And notice, those who
  354. 13:58believed not the truth, but had pleasure
  355. 14:00in unrighteousness.
  356. 14:03pleasure,
  357. 14:04entertainment,
  358. 14:06the very medium through which the
  359. 14:08delusion is being delivered. But how
  360. 14:11does this actually work in your brain?
  361. 14:13How does watching fiction reshape
  362. 14:15belief? That's where the science becomes
  363. 14:17terrifying.
  364. 14:21Within seconds of turning on a screen,
  365. 14:24your brain waves lower to what's called
  366. 14:25an alpha state. This is the same state
  367. 14:28experienced during hypnosis,
  368. 14:29daydreaming, or deep meditation. In
  369. 14:32alpha state, critical thinking is
  370. 14:34reduced. Information bypasses your
  371. 14:37conscious filters and works directly on
  372. 14:39your subconscious mind. What you
  373. 14:42believe, how you perceive the world and
  374. 14:44yourself, your values and aspirations,
  375. 14:47all of it gets reconfigured by whatever
  376. 14:50content is flowing into your eyes during
  377. 14:52that alpha state. This isn't religious
  378. 14:54interpretation. This is secular
  379. 14:56neuroscience from major research
  380. 14:58institutions.
  381. 15:00John's Hopkins University published a
  382. 15:02study titled, "Too much television
  383. 15:04really can rot your brain." The research
  384. 15:06shows television increases the size of
  385. 15:09your visual cortex, the part of your
  386. 15:10brain that processes images, but it
  387. 15:13decreases activity in your frontal polar
  388. 15:15region, the area associated with
  389. 15:17intelligence, abstract reasoning, and
  390. 15:20decision-making. Long-term heavy viewers
  391. 15:22show measurable cognitive decline. Their
  392. 15:25brains physically change structure.
  393. 15:27Think about what this means.
  394. 15:29The alpha wave phenomenon explains why
  395. 15:31logical intelligent people accept
  396. 15:33completely illogical narratives when
  397. 15:36they see them on screen. The delivery
  398. 15:38system shuts down the very brain regions
  399. 15:40that would normally detect deception.
  400. 15:43You're not watching with full mental
  401. 15:44capacity. You're watching in a state of
  402. 15:47reduced defenses and the content is
  403. 15:49being written straight into your
  404. 15:51subconscious mind.
  405. 15:53Scripture understood this principle long
  406. 15:55before neuroscience proved it. The
  407. 15:58concept is simple. By beholding, we
  408. 16:01become changed. What you consistently
  409. 16:03look at shapes who you become. It's not
  410. 16:05a metaphor. It's neurological reality.
  411. 16:08Proverbs 4:23 warns, "Keep thy heart
  412. 16:11with all diligence, for out of it are
  413. 16:13the issues of life." The heart in
  414. 16:16biblical language represents the mind,
  415. 16:18the seat of decision and belief. Guard
  416. 16:21it with all diligence because everything
  417. 16:23flows from it. your character, your
  418. 16:26choices, your eternal destiny. And right
  419. 16:29now, while you're in alpha state, while
  420. 16:32your defenses are down, the content
  421. 16:34you're watching is rewriting the very
  422. 16:36foundation of who you are. But it gets
  423. 16:39worse. There's a specific mechanism in
  424. 16:42your brain that makes watching and doing
  425. 16:44neurologically identical. [music]
  426. 16:49Scientists discovered something
  427. 16:50remarkable through experiments with
  428. 16:52monkeys. They placed a monkey in a
  429. 16:54research setting and had a handler hold
  430. 16:56a banana. When the handler held the
  431. 16:58banana, the exact same brain regions
  432. 17:00activated in the monkey as when the
  433. 17:03monkey itself held the banana. Same
  434. 17:06neurons, same firing patterns.
  435. 17:10[music] The brain made no distinction
  436. 17:12between seeing the action and performing
  437. 17:15the action. These are called mirror
  438. 17:17neurons and humans have them too.
  439. 17:20[music] When you watch someone on screen
  440. 17:22perform an action, your brain fires as
  441. 17:25if you're doing it yourself. There's no
  442. 17:27differentiation at the neural level
  443. 17:29between seeing and doing. If you watch
  444. 17:32someone get shot on screen, your brain
  445. 17:34registers it as witnessing or
  446. 17:36experiencing a shooting. The emotions,
  447. 17:38the neural pathways, the psychological
  448. 17:40impact, it's all real, even though the
  449. 17:43event is fiction. Video games amplify
  450. 17:46this effect. When you're not just
  451. 17:48watching, but actively controlling a
  452. 17:50character, actively pulling a trigger,
  453. 17:52the mirror neuron response multiplies.
  454. 17:55And here's what's chilling. Military and
  455. 17:58police training uses this exact
  456. 18:00principle. Repeated targeting of human-
  457. 18:02shaped targets [music]
  458. 18:03breaks down a person's natural
  459. 18:05inhibition to kill. The simulation
  460. 18:08becomes muscle memory. The psychological
  461. 18:11barrier weakens with every repetition.
  462. 18:14Now, think about this. Military and
  463. 18:16police training programs use these
  464. 18:18techniques under strict supervision with
  465. 18:21psychological screening with debriefing
  466. 18:23and accountability.
  467. 18:25But kids are training the same neural
  468. 18:27pathways through violent video games
  469. 18:29with zero safety protocols, zero
  470. 18:32guidance, zero understanding of what's
  471. 18:34happening in their brains. They're
  472. 18:36conditioning themselves to violence and
  473. 18:38calling it entertainment. And it's not
  474. 18:40just violence. Sexual content works the
  475. 18:43same way. When you watch other people
  476. 18:46engage in sexual acts, your mirror
  477. 18:48neurons fire. Your brain responds as if
  478. 18:51you're participating.
  479. 18:53Neurologically, there's no difference
  480. 18:55between watching and doing. Which means
  481. 18:57pornography isn't just observing sin.
  482. 19:00It's committing sin at the neural level.
  483. 19:02Jesus understood this 2,000 years before
  484. 19:05neuroscience discovered mirror neurons.
  485. 19:07Matthew [music]
  486. 19:085:27-28.
  487. 19:11Ye have heard that it was said by them
  488. 19:12of old time, thou shalt not commit
  489. 19:15adultery. But I say unto you, that
  490. 19:17whosoever lookth on a woman to lust
  491. 19:19after her hath committed adultery with
  492. 19:20her already in his heart. Not
  493. 19:23metaphorically, not symbolically.
  494. 19:25Actually, the looking and the doing are
  495. 19:27the same in God's eyes because they're
  496. 19:29the same in your brain. Jesus wasn't
  497. 19:32being strict. He was being accurate. By
  498. 19:34beholding, we become changed. And now we
  499. 19:37understand why mirror neurons make
  500. 19:40beholding and becoming neurologically
  501. 19:41inseparable. [music] Every moment you
  502. 19:44watch, you participate. Every scene you
  503. 19:46consume, you experience. The question
  504. 19:47isn't whether you're being affected. The
  505. 19:49question is what are you becoming
  506. 19:52through what you're watching?
  507. 19:56Previous generations had no ability to
  508. 19:58binge content. If you missed an episode
  509. 20:01of your favorite show, you had to wait
  510. 20:02for reruns. You might never see it
  511. 20:05again. Television was limited by
  512. 20:07schedule, by broadcast windows, by
  513. 20:10physical constraints. But Satan has
  514. 20:12engineered something different for this
  515. 20:14generation. He's created on demand
  516. 20:15access to unlimited content. Any show,
  517. 20:18anytime, every episode, just press play.
  518. 20:22It works like a laboratory rat in a cage
  519. 20:25with a cocaine lever.
  520. 20:27The rat can press the lever as many
  521. 20:29times as it wants. unlimited access to
  522. 20:31the dopamine trigger. And the rat
  523. 20:33presses until it dies. It stops eating,
  524. 20:37stops sleeping, just presses the lever
  525. 20:39over and over because the pleasure
  526. 20:41signal overwhelms every other drive. You
  527. 20:43have the lever in your pocket right now.
  528. 20:45It's called a smartphone. And every
  529. 20:47streaming service is engineered to
  530. 20:49[music] keep you pressing.
  531. 20:51Cultural anthropologist Grant McCracken,
  532. 20:53who consulted with Netflix, explained it
  533. 20:55this way. Binge viewing is a new kind of
  534. 20:58escapism especially welcome today.
  535. 21:01Notice the word escapism, not
  536. 21:04relaxation, not entertainment, escape.
  537. 21:08You're not tuning [music] out to forget
  538. 21:09your day. You're tuning in to escape
  539. 21:12into a different world. And here's
  540. 21:14what's tragic. Social media has
  541. 21:17shortened your attention span for
  542. 21:18everything except binge watching. You
  543. 21:21can't sit through a 1-hour sermon, but
  544. 21:23you can watch a 12-hour season in one
  545. 21:26sitting. Your brain has been rewired to
  546. 21:28crave the very thing that's destroying
  547. 21:30you. Scripture asks a simple question in
  548. 21:32Isaiah 8:19 to20.
  549. 21:35Should not a people seek unto their God,
  550. 21:37for the living, to the dead, to the law,
  551. 21:40and to the testimony, if they speak not
  552. 21:42according to this word, it is because
  553. 21:45there is no light in them. In other
  554. 21:47[music] words, should you be seeking
  555. 21:49wisdom from the dead, from fictional
  556. 21:51characters, from manufactured worlds, or
  557. 21:54should you be seeking God?
  558. 21:56Where you go for comfort reveals where
  559. 21:58your heart lives?
  560. 22:00Binge watching is Satan's counterfeit
  561. 22:02for meditation and communion with God.
  562. 22:05Instead of spending hours in scripture,
  563. 22:07[music] prayer, and worship, you're
  564. 22:09spending hours absorbing worldviews that
  565. 22:11contradict everything God says is true.
  566. 22:13And you're doing it willingly, eagerly.
  567. 22:16You're choosing the escape over the
  568. 22:17encounter. But here's what makes this
  569. 22:20truly dangerous. [music]
  570. 22:21The part of your brain being most
  571. 22:23affected is the same part where
  572. 22:24salvation itself is decided.
  573. 22:29The frontal lobe is the front third of
  574. 22:31your brain. It's what makes you human.
  575. 22:33When God made man in his image,
  576. 22:35something happened in brain structure
  577. 22:37that sets humans apart from every animal
  578. 22:40on Earth. The human brain [music] is 33%
  579. 22:43frontal lobe. The next smartest animals,
  580. 22:45dolphins and chimpanzees, are only 13%
  581. 22:48frontal lobe. That difference is
  582. 22:50staggering. And it's in that difference
  583. 22:52that the image of God resides. The
  584. 22:55preffrontal cortex, the very front
  585. 22:57section of the frontal lobe, is where
  586. 22:59you're most human. This is where
  587. 23:02reasoning happens, where critical
  588. 23:04thinking forms, [music] where moral
  589. 23:06judgments are made, where worship
  590. 23:08originates, where you decide between
  591. 23:10right and wrong, truth and error, God
  592. 23:12and Satan. This is the most holy place
  593. 23:15of your bodily temple, because this is
  594. 23:17where sin is dealt [music] with. And
  595. 23:18here's where it connects to salvation
  596. 23:20itself. Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now and
  597. 23:24let us reason together, sayeth the Lord.
  598. 23:27Though your sins be as scarlet, they
  599. 23:28shall be as white as snow. Though they
  600. 23:31be red like crimson, they shall be as
  601. 23:33wool. Reasoning happens in the frontal
  602. 23:36lobe. Which means salvation, the very
  603. 23:39process of being cleansed from sin is a
  604. 23:42frontal lobe activity. God isn't asking
  605. 23:45you to just feel forgiveness. He's
  606. 23:47asking you to reason through it, to
  607. 23:49understand it, to let your mind grasp
  608. 23:51the reality of what Christ has done.
  609. 23:54Now, think about this. If salvation
  610. 23:57requires a functioning frontal lobe, if
  611. 24:00the seal of God is a seal on the mind,
  612. 24:02then what happens when your frontal lobe
  613. 24:04is damaged? What happens when the very
  614. 24:07part of your brain where reasoning
  615. 24:09occurs is weakened, shrunk, rewired by
  616. 24:12years of media consumption? The entire
  617. 24:14great controversy, as it plays out in
  618. 24:16your individual life, is a war for your
  619. 24:19frontal lobe. This is why marijuana is
  620. 24:22being legalized everywhere. It destroys
  621. 24:25frontal lobe function. This is why
  622. 24:27alcohol is ubiquitous. It shrinks
  623. 24:29frontal lobe capacity. This is why music
  624. 24:31is engineered to bypass reason and
  625. 24:34trigger [music] emotion. This is why
  626. 24:36social media fractures attention and
  627. 24:38prevents sustained thought. This is why
  628. 24:41television and streaming services exist
  629. 24:43in their current form. All of it. Every
  630. 24:46single weapon in the enemy's arsenal
  631. 24:48targets your frontal lobe. Because if he
  632. 24:51can disqualify your frontal lobe from
  633. 24:53functioning properly, he can disqualify
  634. 24:55you from receiving the seal of God.
  635. 24:58You're not just protecting entertainment
  636. 25:00choices. You're protecting your capacity
  637. 25:02for salvation. This is spiritual warfare
  638. 25:06at the most basic biological level. But
  639. 25:08there's another weapon targeting your
  640. 25:10frontal lobe that we need to understand,
  641. 25:11[music]
  642. 25:12and it's one of the most powerful in
  643. 25:14Satan's arsenal.
  644. 25:18God designed dopamine as a pleasure
  645. 25:20chemical for holy purposes. There's a
  646. 25:22natural hierarchy to its release. When
  647. 25:25you eat food, you get a small dopamine
  648. 25:27release. It feels good because food
  649. 25:30sustains life. When you drink water,
  650. 25:32similar response. When you experience
  651. 25:35sexual intimacy within marriage, you get
  652. 25:37the highest natural dopamine release.
  653. 25:40Why? Because God designed sex not just
  654. 25:43for procreation, but for covenant
  655. 25:45bonding, for the deepest human
  656. 25:47connection possible. [music] And when
  657. 25:50you worship God, when you help others,
  658. 25:52when you experience true spiritual joy,
  659. 25:55dopamine [music] is released as a reward
  660. 25:57for doing what you were designed to do.
  661. 26:00But cocaine floods [music] your system
  662. 26:01with dopamine far more than any natural
  663. 26:04source. And your brain develops
  664. 26:06tolerance. And suddenly the natural
  665. 26:08pleasures, the things God designed to
  666. 26:10bring joy, become irrelevant. They can't
  667. 26:13compete. The drug has hijacked the
  668. 26:16system. Television works slower than
  669. 26:18cocaine, but it works. It consistently
  670. 26:21manipulates your [music] dopamine
  671. 26:22system, and over stimulation creates
  672. 26:24tolerance. It becomes harder to feel
  673. 26:27pleasure from legitimate sources. When
  674. 26:30you come home to your spouse, the
  675. 26:32natural dopamine response that should
  676. 26:33occur, the joy you should feel, it's
  677. 26:36blunted if you're addicted to media.
  678. 26:39Your brain has been trained to expect
  679. 26:41higher levels of stimulation. Real life
  680. 26:43can't compete with fiction. But dopamine
  681. 26:46doesn't just control [music] pleasure.
  682. 26:48It controls motivation.
  683. 26:50Marijuana causes what researchers call a
  684. 26:53motivational syndrome. It destroys the
  685. 26:55drive to improve your life. You stop
  686. 26:58caring about growth, about purpose,
  687. 27:00about change. You're content to stay
  688. 27:03where you are, numb and unmotivated. And
  689. 27:05here's what's crucial. The Apostle Paul
  690. 27:08talks [music] about pressing toward the
  691. 27:09mark, straining forward to the high
  692. 27:11calling of God in Christ Jesus. [music]
  693. 27:14That pressing, that straining, that
  694. 27:16drive toward holiness, it's a
  695. 27:17dopamineeric function. Your motivation
  696. 27:19for God depends on a healthy dopamine
  697. 27:22system. mess up [music] your dopamine
  698. 27:24sensitivity through media addiction,
  699. 27:26drugs, pornography, any chronic
  700. 27:28overstimulation, and you lose your drive
  701. 27:30for God. You can still know truth
  702. 27:33intellectually, but you have no passion
  703. 27:34for it, no hunger, [music] no motivation
  704. 27:37to pursue holiness.
  705. 27:39Satan knows this. He's not trying to
  706. 27:42make you deny doctrine. He's trying to
  707. 27:44make you not care about doctrine. And
  708. 27:46he's doing it by destroying the brain
  709. 27:48chemistry that generates spiritual
  710. 27:50desire.
  711. 27:53And here's what's critical to
  712. 27:55understand. [clears throat] Satan
  713. 27:56doesn't remove weapons from his [music]
  714. 27:58arsenal. He builds it. Oral tradition,
  715. 28:00then written word, then paper, then
  716. 28:02radio, then television, then cable, then
  717. 28:05internet, then streaming, now artificial
  718. 28:07intelligence. The volumes continue
  719. 28:10increasing exponentially. More content,
  720. 28:13more access, more platforms, more hours
  721. 28:15consumed. The flood isn't slowing down.
  722. 28:18It's accelerating. [music] From a
  723. 28:19strategic standpoint, this is the best
  724. 28:21avenue Satan has to deliver his message,
  725. 28:24more exposure hours than school, more
  726. 28:27hours than work in many cases, more
  727. 28:29hours than sleep for some people. If you
  728. 28:32were trying to shape a generation's
  729. 28:33worldview, if you were trying to
  730. 28:35reprogram minds at scale, you would
  731. 28:38invest everything in the medium that has
  732. 28:39the most time, the [music] most
  733. 28:40attention, the most access. And that's
  734. 28:43exactly what's happened. This is why
  735. 28:45ministries addressing media consumption
  736. 28:47are so critical. Because media
  737. 28:50represents one of the highest quantity
  738. 28:52enemy access points in existence. You're
  739. 28:54not fighting a peripheral issue. You're
  740. 28:56fighting the primary delivery system for
  741. 28:58spiritual deception in the modern world.
  742. 29:02Classic monkey see monkey do isn't a
  743. 29:04joke anymore. Your mirror neurons are
  744. 29:07firing constantly hour after hour, day
  745. 29:09after day, absorbing and imitating
  746. 29:12everything on screen. [music] And the
  747. 29:14sheer volume means the transformation is
  748. 29:16rapid, deep, and often irreversible
  749. 29:18without divine intervention. But volume
  750. 29:21alone doesn't explain what's happening.
  751. 29:23There's something more insidious, a
  752. 29:26specific kind of content being pushed,
  753. 29:28and it's rewriting the most foundational
  754. 29:30story in cosmic history. [music]
  755. 29:35There's a TV show called Lucifer,
  756. 29:38multi-season hit, popular among
  757. 29:40Christians. The lead actor's father
  758. 29:42[music] is a pastor, and it completely
  759. 29:44rewrites the great controversy. In one
  760. 29:47episode [music] titled Michael's Wings,
  761. 29:49the description reads, "Michael and
  762. 29:51Lucifer fight to decide who would be the
  763. 29:53next God, not to determine truth, not to
  764. 29:55resolve a moral [music] conflict, to
  765. 29:57decide who would be the next God. God
  766. 30:00appears in the episode, but he's
  767. 30:02impotent to stop the fighting. [music]
  768. 30:04He can't control his own sons. He's
  769. 30:06weak, passive, irrelevant.
  770. 30:10The fight comes down to Michael and
  771. 30:11Lucifer and Lucifer wins. [music]
  772. 30:14He defeats Michael. He takes the flaming
  773. 30:17sword and severs Michael's wings. This
  774. 30:20is a complete reversal of biblical
  775. 30:22reality. In scripture, Jesus, who is
  776. 30:24Michael the Archangel, has a sword that
  777. 30:26comes from his mouth. It's the word of
  778. 30:28God, truth itself. But in this [music]
  779. 30:31show, Lucifer wields the sword. Lucifer
  780. 30:34is victorious. And Michael [music] is
  781. 30:36the defeated villain. The entire series
  782. 30:39portrays Lucifer as a misunderstood
  783. 30:41[music] good guy. He's charming. He's
  784. 30:44moral in his own way. He's rebelling
  785. 30:47against [music] an oppressive father.
  786. 30:49The Rolling Stones sang it decades ago.
  787. 30:52Sympathy for the devil. The same [music]
  788. 30:54theme. Make the enemy sympathetic. Make
  789. 30:57rebellion look like courage. And it's
  790. 31:00working. High school students are now
  791. 31:02studying the Bible with a Luciferian
  792. 31:04[music]
  793. 31:04framework pre-installed. They've already
  794. 31:07seen Lucifer as the hero in five seasons
  795. 31:09of television. When they read scripture,
  796. 31:11they're reading it through that lens.
  797. 31:13The damage is done before they even open
  798. 31:15the book. A mother told a youth pastor
  799. 31:18she was watching the show. Just
  800. 31:20entertainment, she said, just for
  801. 31:22laughs. The same mother later wondered
  802. 31:24why her 8-year-old daughter couldn't
  803. 31:26distinguish Disney magic from Jesus's
  804. 31:28miracles. Because Disney normalized
  805. 31:31magic. Television made sorcery look fun.
  806. 31:34And now the child can't see Jesus as
  807. 31:36unique. He's just another wizard,
  808. 31:39another superhero, another magical
  809. 31:42character in a long line of magical
  810. 31:44characters she's been watching since
  811. 31:45birth. This is spiritual warfare at its
  812. 31:49most blatant. Satan isn't hiding
  813. 31:51anymore. He's openly rewriting scripture
  814. 31:53and popular culture. He's making himself
  815. 31:56the hero. And millions of Christians are
  816. 31:58pressing play, laughing along, defending
  817. 32:00it as harmless fiction. But it's not
  818. 32:02harmless. It's reconditioning. It's a
  819. 32:05great rewrite. And it's preparing minds
  820. 32:08to accept the final great deception.
  821. 32:112 Thessalonians 2:1 to12 warns, "And for
  822. 32:15this cause God shall send them strong
  823. 32:17delusion, that they should believe a
  824. 32:19lie, that they all might be damned who
  825. 32:21believed not the truth, but had pleasure
  826. 32:23in unrighteousness."
  827. 32:25Pleasure.
  828. 32:26Entertainment, the medium through which
  829. 32:29delusion is delivered. But this isn't
  830. 32:31just Hollywood's idea. There are forces
  831. 32:34behind the entertainment industry that
  832. 32:35openly admit what they're doing.
  833. 32:40The CIA openly admits decades of
  834. 32:42collaboration with Hollywood. Their
  835. 32:44first cooperation was in 1965 for the
  836. 32:47James Bond film Thunderball. The CIA
  837. 32:51provided a proprietary B17 aircraft and
  838. 32:54crew for filming. They flew the Skyhook,
  839. 32:57also called the Fulton Recovery System,
  840. 32:59a real CIA technology used for covert
  841. 33:01extractions.
  842. 33:03Agency officers were given red carpet
  843. 33:05treatment at the premiere and the
  844. 33:07relationship only grew from there. The
  845. 33:10character Felix Lighter, James Bond's
  846. 33:12CIA friend, was created in 1953.
  847. 33:15Years later, the land the later family
  848. 33:17owned in the novels became the location
  849. 33:19of actual CIA headquarters in Langley,
  850. 33:22Virginia. Art predicting reality or
  851. 33:25reality shaping art.
  852. 33:29The first mention of the CIA in fiction
  853. 33:31was in a 1948 novel called An Affair of
  854. 33:34State by Pat Frank. The agency was only
  855. 33:37a year old and already fiction was
  856. 33:39introducing it to the public, shaping
  857. 33:41perception before most Americans even
  858. 33:44knew the organization existed. The CIA's
  859. 33:47official statement on their website says
  860. 33:49this. Pop culture is powerful and most
  861. 33:52Americans first impression of the agency
  862. 33:54is from fictional films and literature.
  863. 33:57Then they add CIA finds value in working
  864. 33:59with the film and entertainment
  865. 34:01industries to assist them in accurate
  866. 34:02portrayals. The goal to help the public
  867. 34:06get to know the humans behind the
  868. 34:07acronym and demonstrate how the agency's
  869. 34:10work enhances and protects the nation's
  870. 34:12security. In other words, Hollywood is a
  871. 34:15perception management tool. Multiple
  872. 34:17films have been made with CIA
  873. 34:19consultation. Some filmed at CIA
  874. 34:22headquarters, movies like Argo, the Jack
  875. 34:24Ryan series, even an animated children's
  876. 34:26film called Spies in Disguise, which
  877. 34:28featured spy pigeons carrying cameras.
  878. 34:31That technology was real. The CIA used
  879. 34:34pigeons with miniature cameras during
  880. 34:35the Cold War. Now it's in a kids movie
  881. 34:38making surveillance look cute and
  882. 34:39heroic. Think about the implications. If
  883. 34:43a secular government intelligence agency
  884. 34:45openly admits using entertainment for
  885. 34:47public perception management, for
  886. 34:49shaping how you see their organization
  887. 34:51and their actions, what is the spiritual
  888. 34:54intelligence agency doing? Satan's
  889. 34:57kingdom is far older, far more
  890. 34:59sophisticated, far more invested in
  891. 35:01deception than any human government. If
  892. 35:04the CIA uses Hollywood to make you trust
  893. 35:06them, what is Satan using Hollywood to
  894. 35:08make you accept? The answer is
  895. 35:11everything we've been discussing.
  896. 35:13Spiritualism, false messiahs, alien
  897. 35:16deceptions, moral compromise, dopamine
  898. 35:19addiction, frontal lobe damage. All of
  899. 35:22it delivered through the medium that has
  900. 35:23the most hours, the most access, the
  901. 35:25most influence over human minds in
  902. 35:27history. This isn't paranoia. This is
  903. 35:31documented strategy. They're telling you
  904. 35:33what they're doing. The question is, are
  905. 35:35you listening? And now we come to the
  906. 35:38part I promised you at the beginning.
  907. 35:40The prophecy that predicted all of this
  908. 35:41thousands of years ago. [music]
  909. 35:44Open your Bible to Revelation 12. Verse
  910. 35:4714 says, "And to the woman were given
  911. 35:50two wings of a great eagle that she
  912. 35:53might fly into the wilderness into her
  913. 35:55place where she is nourished for a time
  914. 35:57and times and half a time from the face
  915. 36:00of the serpent."
  916. 36:02This is the 1,260year
  917. 36:05prophecy.
  918. 36:06The church represented by the [music]
  919. 36:08woman fled into the wilderness during
  920. 36:10the dark ages. She was protected there
  921. 36:12for 1,260
  922. 36:14prophetic days, [music] which equals
  923. 36:161,260 literal years.
  924. 36:20From 538 AD to 1798 AD, the true church
  925. 36:25was hidden, persecuted, scattered. But
  926. 36:29God preserved a remnant. The prophecy
  927. 36:32was fulfilled exactly on schedule. Now
  928. 36:34look at verse 15. This is what most
  929. 36:36people skip [music] over, but it's the
  930. 36:38verse that changes everything. And the
  931. 36:41serpent cast out of his mouth water as a
  932. 36:44flood after the woman that he might
  933. 36:46cause her to be carried away of the
  934. 36:48flood. Traditional interpretations focus
  935. 36:50[music] on various meanings of the
  936. 36:52flood. Persecution, false doctrine,
  937. 36:55political upheaval, and those
  938. 36:57interpretations have value. But there's
  939. 37:00another layer here that's been
  940. 37:01overlooked. After 1798, after the 1,260
  941. 37:06[music] years ended, the serpent would
  942. 37:08cast water as a flood from his mouth.
  943. 37:11Water from the mouth, words,
  944. 37:14communication, information, a flood of
  945. 37:17messaging designed to sweep away the
  946. 37:18church. Now connect this to Daniel 12.
  947. 37:23Daniel is told that at the time of the
  948. 37:25end, which begins in 1798, knowledge
  949. 37:28would increase. Not just spiritual
  950. 37:30knowledge, all knowledge, technology,
  951. 37:32science, communication, and that
  952. 37:34increase would accelerate rapidly.
  953. 37:38Let's trace the timeline. The industrial
  954. 37:40revolution begins in the late 1700s. The
  955. 37:43printing press had existed for
  956. 37:44centuries, but now mass production makes
  957. 37:47printed material available to everyone.
  958. 37:49Telegraph in the 1830s, [music]
  959. 37:51telephone in the 1870s,
  960. 37:54radio in the early 1900s,
  961. 37:57television in the 1940s, the internet in
  962. 38:00the 1990s,
  963. 38:01smartphones in the 2000s, streaming
  964. 38:04services in the 2000s, and now
  965. 38:07artificial intelligence that can
  966. 38:09generate unlimited video content from
  967. 38:11text prompts. Look at the graph of
  968. 38:13household television hours. In the
  969. 38:161950s, Americans watched about four
  970. 38:19hours of TV daily. By the 2000s, that
  971. 38:22climbed to eight hours. Then, internet
  972. 38:25consumption started replacing some TV
  973. 38:27time. But total media consumption didn't
  974. 38:29drop. It increased 11 hours daily across
  975. 38:33all electronic media. Now, look at
  976. 38:35estimated scripted original TV programs
  977. 38:38and series. The number of new shows
  978. 38:40produced each year has exploded. There's
  979. 38:43more content being created now than any
  980. 38:45human could watch in a lifetime. And
  981. 38:47with AI, that number is about to become
  982. 38:50infinite.
  983. 38:52Anyone with a computer can now generate
  984. 38:54Hollywood level video content. The flood
  985. 38:57isn't slowing down. It's becoming a
  986. 38:59tsunami. The serpent cast water as a
  987. 39:02flood from his mouth. After 1798,
  988. 39:06at the time when knowledge would
  989. 39:07increase, and what do we see? an
  990. 39:09exponential explosion of media, of
  991. 39:12content, of messaging. All designed to
  992. 39:14shape perception, influence belief, and
  993. 39:17sweep away truth. The prophecy isn't
  994. 39:20symbolic. It's literal. It's happening
  995. 39:23right now. You're living through it. And
  996. 39:27here's what makes this terrifying.
  997. 39:29[music] The flood is coming from the
  998. 39:31serpent's mouth. It's not neutral
  999. 39:33information. It's not random
  1000. 39:35entertainment. It's strategic spiritual
  1001. 39:38warfare.
  1002. 39:40Every hour of content, every show you
  1003. 39:42binge, every [music] movie you watch is
  1004. 39:44part of the flood designed to carry you
  1005. 39:46away from God's word and into the
  1006. 39:48deception that will dominate the world
  1007. 39:50in the final crisis. Satan has a modern
  1008. 39:53flood. And just like the ancient flood
  1009. 39:56in Noah's day destroyed everyone who
  1010. 39:58wasn't in the ark, this flood will
  1011. 40:00destroy everyone who isn't anchored in
  1012. 40:02scripture. The water is rising. The
  1013. 40:05current is strong and most people don't
  1014. 40:08even realize they're drowning. But now
  1015. 40:10you know. The question is, what will you
  1016. 40:13do with this knowledge?
  1017. 40:17[music]
  1018. 40:18Peer-reviewed research confirms
  1019. 40:19everything we've been discussing.
  1020. 40:21Studies on transportation into a
  1021. 40:23narrative world show that when you
  1022. 40:26become absorbed in a story, when you're
  1023. 40:28transported into the fictional world,
  1024. 40:30you're cognitively and emotionally
  1025. 40:32involved. You experience vivid mental
  1026. 40:34images. Your perspectives can be
  1027. 40:36challenged. You feel emotions you
  1028. 40:39couldn't feel in normal life. And those
  1029. 40:41emotions reshape your beliefs. Actress
  1030. 40:44Susan Sandon said it directly. Movies
  1031. 40:47[music] can completely misshape you. She
  1032. 40:49wasn't exaggerating. Research shows that
  1033. 40:52individuals with prior relevant
  1034. 40:53experience show greater transportation
  1035. 40:55into stories similar to their lives. And
  1036. 40:58highly transported readers show more
  1037. 41:00story consistent beliefs. In other
  1038. 41:02words, the deeper you go into the story,
  1039. 41:04the more your real world beliefs align
  1040. 41:06with the story's worldview. Then there's
  1041. 41:09the illusory truth effect. Repetition
  1042. 41:12increases the likelihood that a
  1043. 41:14statement will be judged as true. It
  1044. 41:16doesn't matter if the statement is
  1045. 41:18actually true. If you hear it enough
  1046. 41:20times, your brain starts treating it as
  1047. 41:22fact.
  1048. 41:24Studies show this works even with
  1049. 41:26obviously false statements. Even highly
  1050. 41:28implausible claims become more plausible
  1051. 41:31with enough repetition. Repetition also
  1052. 41:34increases what researchers call
  1053. 41:35salience. It makes ideas emotionally
  1054. 41:39intense. They stick in your memory. They
  1055. 41:41feel important. And mere exposure
  1056. 41:44creates preference. The more you're
  1057. 41:46exposed to something, the more you like
  1058. 41:47it. This is documented across hundreds
  1059. 41:50of studies. Repeated stimuli are liked
  1060. 41:52more than novel stimuli, even if the
  1061. 41:55stimuli are neutral or negative. This
  1062. 41:57explains why the same story told across
  1063. 41:59hundreds of movies eventually feels
  1064. 42:01true. It doesn't matter if the story
  1065. 42:03contradicts reality. Repetition
  1066. 42:06overrides logic. You've seen superheroes
  1067. 42:09save the world so many times that the
  1068. 42:11archetype feels real. You've seen magic
  1069. 42:15portrayed as good so many times that
  1070. 42:16necromancy feels acceptable. You've seen
  1071. 42:19rebellion justified so many times that
  1072. 42:21authority feels oppressive. The
  1073. 42:24entertainment industry isn't guessing.
  1074. 42:26They're exploiting known cognitive
  1075. 42:28vulnerabilities. They understand how
  1076. 42:30your brain works better than you do. And
  1077. 42:32they're using that knowledge to reshape
  1078. 42:34what you believe is true, what you
  1079. 42:36believe is good, and what you believe is
  1080. 42:38possible. This is scientific validation
  1081. 42:41of biblical wisdom. Guard your heart,
  1082. 42:44protect your mind, because by beholding,
  1083. 42:48you become changed.
  1084. 42:52This is the central principle that ties
  1085. 42:54everything [music] together. What you
  1086. 42:56consistently watch, you become. It's not
  1087. 42:58metaphorical, it's neurological. Mirror
  1088. 43:02neurons prove it. Academic research
  1089. 43:04confirms it. Scripture declares it.
  1090. 43:06Studies show that teenagers who watch
  1091. 43:08sexual content start having sex earlier
  1092. 43:11and engage in riskier behavior. Research
  1093. 43:14published in the journal Psychological
  1094. 43:16Science found a direct correlation. The
  1095. 43:19more teenagers were exposed to sexual
  1096. 43:21content in movies, the earlier they
  1097. 43:23started having sex and the likelier they
  1098. 43:25were to have casual, unprotected
  1099. 43:26encounters. [music]
  1100. 43:27It's not theory, it's measured reality.
  1101. 43:31Movies influence teen sexual attitudes
  1102. 43:33and behaviors. Watching violence makes
  1103. 43:36you more violent. [music] Watching
  1104. 43:38rebellion makes you more rebellious.
  1105. 43:41Watching spiritualism opens the door to
  1106. 43:43demonic influence. The mechanism is
  1107. 43:46simple. Your brain doesn't [music]
  1108. 43:47distinguish between watching and doing.
  1109. 43:50When you behold something consistently,
  1110. 43:51you become like it. But the principle
  1111. 43:54works both ways. Behold Christ, become
  1112. 43:56like Christ. Spend time in God's word in
  1113. 43:58prayer, in nature, in service, and
  1114. 44:01you're beholding something that
  1115. 44:02transforms you toward righteousness.
  1116. 44:04You're feeding your mind truth instead
  1117. 44:06of lies. You're training your frontal
  1118. 44:07lobe to reason according to scripture
  1119. 44:10instead of according to Hollywood.
  1120. 44:12The question isn't whether you're being
  1121. 44:14transformed. The question is toward what
  1122. 44:17image? Every moment of beholding is a
  1123. 44:18moment of becoming. You're always
  1124. 44:20changing, always being shaped. The only
  1125. 44:23question is who's doing the shaping?
  1126. 44:262 Corinthians 3:18 explains it
  1127. 44:29perfectly. But we all with open face,
  1128. 44:31beholding as in a glass the glory of the
  1129. 44:33Lord, [music] are changed into the same
  1130. 44:35image from glory to glory, even as by
  1131. 44:38the spirit of the Lord. Beholding the
  1132. 44:41glory of the Lord changes you into his
  1133. 44:44image. [music] It's a promise, but it
  1134. 44:47requires that you're actually beholding
  1135. 44:48him, not Lucifer, not superheroes, not
  1136. 44:53fictional worlds [music] designed to
  1137. 44:55contradict his truth. Him. You can't
  1138. 44:58behold Babylon and become like Jesus.
  1139. 45:01[music] The transformation will go the
  1140. 45:03wrong direction. And in the final
  1141. 45:05crisis, when your character is fixed,
  1142. 45:07when the seal of God is placed on those
  1143. 45:08who have been transformed into his
  1144. 45:10image, the question will be simple.
  1145. 45:13[music] Who did you behold? Where did
  1146. 45:15you spend your time?
  1147. 45:17What shaped your mind? Every content
  1148. 45:20choice is a character choice. Every hour
  1149. 45:23of screen time is an hour of
  1150. 45:25transformation.
  1151. 45:26The direction is determined by what's on
  1152. 45:28the screen. Choose wisely because by
  1153. 45:32beholding you [music] become changed. If
  1154. 45:35you watch this far, comment, "I choose
  1155. 45:37Christ's vision over television's
  1156. 45:39programming."

  1167. 46:01determines how many souls hear this
  1168. 46:03warning. One click could save someone
  1169. 46:05from deception. Here's what keeps me up
  1170. 46:08at night.
  1171. 46:10Somewhere right now, a young person who
  1172. 46:13loves Jesus is binge watching a show
  1173. 46:15that's systematically reprogramming
  1174. 46:17their conscience. They would never
  1175. 46:19consciously choose to walk away from
  1176. 46:21God. But they're being led away one
  1177. 46:24episode at a time, one movie [music] at
  1178. 46:26a time, one scroll at a time. The
  1179. 46:28frontal lobe where salvation happens is
  1180. 46:30under siege, and they don't even realize
  1181. 46:32they're in a battle. Maybe that [music]
  1182. 46:34person is you. Maybe it's your child,
  1183. 46:37your spouse, your friend. The enemy
  1184. 46:41doesn't need you to denounce Christ. He
  1185. 46:43just needs you to keep pressing play.
  1186. 46:46[music] Every time you choose screen
  1187. 46:48over scripture, entertainment over
  1188. 46:50intimacy with God, you're making a
  1189. 46:52choice about eternity. Not because God
  1190. 46:55is harsh, but because by beholding, we
  1191. 46:57become changed. And you cannot behold
  1192. 47:00Babylon [music] and become like Jesus.
  1193. 47:03The transformation happens whether you
  1194. 47:04acknowledge it or not. Your brain is
  1195. 47:07being rewired right now, today, by
  1196. 47:10whatever you're feeding it. The question
  1197. 47:12is, who's doing the programming? But
  1198. 47:15here's the good news that Satan doesn't
  1199. 47:16want you to know. The moment you cry out
  1200. 47:19to God for help, he responds.
  1201. 47:23The instant you say, "Lord, I can't do
  1202. 47:25this alone. I need you to give me a new
  1203. 47:28heart, new desires."
  1204. 47:31He begins that work. You don't have to
  1205. 47:34white knuckle your [music] way to
  1206. 47:35victory. You don't have to be strong
  1207. 47:37enough to resist in your own power.
  1208. 47:39Christ doesn't just save you from the
  1209. 47:41penalty of sin. He saves you from the
  1210. 47:43pleasure of sin. He can make you hate
  1211. 47:45what you once loved and love what you
  1212. 47:47once hated. Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now
  1213. 47:51and let us reason together, sayaeth the
  1214. 47:53Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet,
  1215. 47:55they shall be as white as snow. Though
  1216. 47:57they be red like crimson, they shall be
  1217. 47:58as wool."
  1218. 48:00That reasoning happens in your frontal
  1219. 48:02lobe. The very part of your brain Satan
  1220. 48:04has been attacking. God wants to
  1221. 48:06restore, heal, and sanctify that sacred
  1222. 48:09space. [music] He wants to undo the
  1223. 48:11damage. He wants to rewire your mind
  1224. 48:12according to truth. There's a reason
  1225. 48:14Jesus is called the great physician. He
  1226. 48:17specializes in healing what seems
  1227. 48:19impossibly broken. The blood of Christ
  1228. 48:21doesn't just cover your past. It has
  1229. 48:22power to transform your present and
  1230. 48:24secure your future. You can be free.
  1231. 48:27Truly, [music] completely free. Not
  1232. 48:29someday. Starting today.
  1233. 48:36>> The world [music and singing] is glowing
  1234. 48:38through a screen. A thousand voices call
  1235. 48:42my name. They promise light but speak
  1236. 48:45[music] in shadows. Truth and fiction
  1237. 48:49look the same. Every image leaves a
  1238. 48:53[music] mark. Every sound reshapes the
  1239. 48:56heart. [singing]
  1240. 48:57What we gaze upon [music] in silence
  1241. 49:01slowly [singing] writes us who we are.
  1242. 49:06We were made [singing and music] to see
  1243. 49:08your glory.
  1244. 49:13Not the visions [music] of this age.
  1245. 49:20Every [music] look becomes [singing]
  1246. 49:22an alter.
  1247. 49:26Every [singing] love becomes a change.
  1248. 49:33[music]
  1249. 49:34By beholding [singing]
  1250. 49:35we are changed. by the vision [music] we
  1251. 49:39embrace.
  1252. 49:40If we stare into the darkness, we
  1253. 49:44[music] will wear it face.
  1254. 49:47Turn our eyes to Jesus now. [singing]
  1255. 49:51[music] Let his light remain.
  1256. 49:54For by beholding, [singing and music]
  1257. 49:58by beholding,
  1258. 50:02we [singing] are changed.
  1259. 50:09Counterfeits [music and singing] of
  1260. 50:11heaven's fire fill the sky with borrowed
  1261. 50:15light. False saviors rise [singing] with
  1262. 50:18signs and wonders. [music] Crowds
  1263. 50:20applaud instead of fight. But your word
  1264. 50:24[singing]
  1265. 50:24still cuts the night. Sharper than the
  1266. 50:28lies [music] we see. Calling hearts back
  1267. 50:31from the flood.
  1268. 50:34to truth that sets [music] us [singing]
  1269. 50:36free.
  1270. 50:38Take our minds and heal our vision. Rise
  1271. 50:42your love [music and singing] within our
  1272. 50:44soul. Let us choose the ark of safety
  1273. 50:49while the [music and singing] waters
  1274. 50:50rise below. Fix our eyes on Christ alone
  1275. 50:55before [music and singing]
  1276. 50:56the door is closed. Make us like the one
  1277. 51:01we worship. What we see is what
  1278. 51:05[music and singing] we'll hold.
  1279. 51:08By beholding, we are changed. From the
  1280. 51:12world to heaven's [music] flame.
  1281. 51:13[singing]
  1282. 51:14From the noise of endless visions to the
  1283. 51:18glory [singing] of your name. When we
  1284. 51:22see you as you are,
  1285. 51:25every [music] chain [singing] is slain.
  1286. 51:28For by beholding,
  1287. 51:31[music]
  1288. 51:32by [singing] beholding
  1289. 51:36we are [music] changed.
  1290. 51:41[singing]
  1291. 51:42[music]
  1292. 51:42Turn our eyes.
  1293. 51:52Jesus
  1294. 51:53be our vision. [music]
