GENERATIONS at risk

 

1 John 2:15-16

King James Version

15 Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in the world. 

If any man love the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


Are you 43 years old, and below?

That means you're from these generations.

The generations at RISK:

Generation Y

"Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996.

As the first generation to grow up with the Internet, Millennials have also been described as the first global generation.[5] The generation is generally marked by elevated usage of and familiarity with the Internet, mobile devices, and social media.[6] The term "digital natives", which is now also applied to successive generations, was originally coined to describe this generation."


Generation Z

"Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years.

As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z, even if not necessarily digitally literate, have been dubbed "digital natives".[6][7][8][9] Moreover, the negative effects of screen time are most pronounced in adolescents, as compared to younger children.[10] Compared to previous generations, members of Generation Z tend to live more slowly than their predecessors when they were their age,[11][12] have lower rates of teenage pregnancies, and consume alcohol (but not necessarily other psychoactive drugs) less often."


Generation Alpha

"Researchers and popular media use the early 2010s as starting birth years to the mid-2020s as ending birth years (see § Date and age range definitions). Named after alpha, the first letter in the Greek alphabet, Generation Alpha is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century and the third millennium.

Generation Alpha has been born at a time of falling fertility rates across much of the world,[6][7] and experienced the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as young children. For those with access, children's entertainment has been increasingly dominated by electronic technology, social networks, and streaming services, with interest in traditional television concurrently falling. Changes in the use of technology in classrooms and other aspects of life have had a significant effect on how this generation has experienced early learning compared to previous generations. Studies have suggested that health problems related to screen time, allergies, and obesity became increasingly prevalent in the late 2010s."


SPIRIT and I underlined the years of birth for each generation.

Similarly, we underlined their tech exposure.

Better yet, we put them in "bold" letters.

Those are the THREE generations at GREAT risk.

Spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Imagine being addicted to gadgets.

Imagine being bombarded by social media.

Imagine being thrown into the tech arena for everything.


As born again baby boomer, I am deeply concerned.

Would these "kids" have a normal life without tech?

What do they know about GOD?

Are they taught about JESUS?

Are they taught about the HOLY SPIRIT?

Do they know Scripture?


We know ey-ay gives its own version of the LORD.

Based on material it has gathered from everything, and everyone.

Niftily putting it all together.

And coming up with a facsimile of the LORD.

As if the LORD can be duplicated at all.


A "copy" is NOT the ORIGINAL.

Remember who the copycat is.


Those generations are hooked on tech, gadgets, and social media.

Is that a normal way of life?

Is that a normal view of life?

Is that a normal way of communicating?

Is that a healthy way of learning?

Or has the devil succeeded?

Genesis 11:6

King James Version

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, 

the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.


That "one language" in today's time is the COMPUTER language.

A digital language.

How far has Satan gone corrupting young people's minds?

How far has he corrupted the digital designer's minds?

How far has this idea of "world domination" gone into our "streams"?


Remember also what JESUS said:

Matthew 24:14

King James Version

14 And this gospel of the kingdom 

shall be preached in all the world 

for a witness unto all nations; 

and then shall the end come.


EVERYTHING is shared digitally now.

Even this post.

Every corner of the world is reached digitally.

The agenda seems FULL "digitalization".

Through these areas:

-- Communication, currency, and companionship.

-- Wealth, warfare, and worldly "wisdom".

-- Health, healing, and worldly "holiness".


Man feels he can have it all.

Man feels he's already done it all.

Man feels nothing can be withheld from him.


That means, the Rapture hovers.


As with everything, digitalization has its pros and cons.

We all get to connect with each other.

At what price, though?

What happens to privacy?

What happens to respect?

What happens to freedom?

What happens to our souls?


I've had enough "telling" dreams, from decades past.

Which SPIRIT and I translated into fiction, through ebooks.

Mostly on "spiritual warfare".

GOD allowed those dreams before making me born again.

As born again 56 months now, it merely reinforced THREE things:

The validity, relevance, and urgency of such dreams.

And now, I have Scripture to back it up.


The idea of "electronic armageddon" was "shown" in one dream.

Signifying the danger we are all in.

A previous "generations" post, identified the generations at risk.

See the descriptions above.


That "armageddon" dream happened about 22 years ago.

I am grateful, GOD made me pay attention to EVERY dream.

He knows I aim to be attentive, and retentive.

I pay attention to every detail in my life.

I look for signs, symbols, patterns, clues, leads.

I observe what's happening in the world.

I take notes.


GOD knows I'll try to "connect" the dots.

Because He knows I've always cared about people.

That I've always looked to where you may be in danger.

And alert you, soon as I'm sure of the facts.

What better facts, than Scripture?

The WORD of GOD doesn't lie.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


JESUS is the "Word made flesh".

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.


JESUS is all these:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


Only by being born again can we have a sure future.

Not through the NEW ouija.

But only through, in, by, and from CHRIST.

SPIRIT teaches the born again.

He teaches us about JESUS.

He teaches us about GOD's TRUTH.

He teaches us about the world.

What other education would one need?
