But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. - Ezekiel 33:6

The “One Inch Move” - Satan Maximizing The Use Of Those Who Are Lost
In our most recent edition of Watchmen On The Wall, we shared with you how effectively Satan uses the “side door” to twist language and culture, using those who are lost by exploiting and feeding their weaknesses - making them useful and boastful vessels to do his bidding.
This week, we’ll take a look how Satan is using technology to shift thinking, human vessels to justify his worship this week at the annual “SatanCON” convention, and how our powerful brothers and sisters in Christ are standing in the gap against it all at the International Christian Film and Music Festival this week in Orlando, FL.
Know Your Foe - “Discussions” With ChatGPT
As our regular readers are already aware, we regularly ask ChatGPT, the AI chatbot technology from Microsoft, basic questions to highlight it's bias, and how it’s designed to marginalize Christianity.
Here’s a look at our interaction with the recently launched “jesus AI,” powered by Chat GPT technology:
We asked about homosexuality in the bible, and jesus AI proceeded to tell us that “Jesus did not directly address the topic. Instead he taught us to love and accept everyone regardless of their beliefs or circumstances…”
Let that sink in for a second.
This AI engine is going to influence the behavior of MILLIONS of lost people asking a question like this…
And this is why Ezekiel 33:6 matters so much.
For this week, we asked Chat GPT two questions:
About The International Christian Film and Music Festival, and;
About SatanCON and why those who claim to be Satanists deny that they actually worship Satan.
We would like to share the answers we received, and the contrast between the two.
Up first, the ICFF:
Our Question: What is the International Christian Film Festival?
Chat GPT Response: “The International Christian Film Festival (ICFF) is an annual event that showcases and celebrates films with Christian themes or content. It is a platform for filmmakers, actors, and industry professionals to come together and promote faith-based films and media.
The ICFF provides an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work, network with industry professionals, and gain recognition for their contributions to the Christian film genre. The festival features various categories, including feature films, short films, documentaries, animations, music videos, and screenplays. Awards are given out in each category to honor outstanding achievements in storytelling, cinematography, acting, and other aspects of filmmaking.
In addition to film screenings and awards, the ICFF often includes workshops, panels, and seminars where filmmakers and industry experts share their knowledge and insights. These events offer educational and networking opportunities for aspiring filmmakers and those interested in the intersection of Christianity and cinema.
The ICFF aims to promote Christian values and messages through the medium of film, encouraging filmmakers to explore themes of faith, redemption, hope, and spiritual transformation. It provides a platform for filmmakers to reach a wider audience and contribute to the growing genre of Christian filmmaking.”
Commentary: Hard Stop. That description makes sense, right? Pretty straight forward?
Keep that in mind as you continue reading.
Next, our question about SatanCon:
Our question: “explain SatanCon explanation of not being devil worshippers”
Chat GPT response:
"Satancon" is not a term or concept that I am familiar with. It might be a misspelling or a term specific to a certain group or context. However, if you meant "Satanic" or "Satanism," I can provide an explanation.
Satanism is a diverse and decentralized religious and philosophical movement that encompasses a wide range of beliefs and practices. While it often employs Satanic imagery and symbolism, it is important to understand that most self-identified Satanists do not actually worship or believe in a literal devil or Satan. Instead, they use Satan as a symbolic figure to represent individualism, rebellion against arbitrary authority, and the pursuit of personal freedom and self-expression.
Many Satanic groups, such as The Satanic Temple, advocate for secularism, human rights, and social justice. They often engage in activism to promote religious pluralism and challenge the dominance of religious institutions in society. Their use of Satanic imagery is intended to provoke thought and challenge the status quo, rather than to promote literal devil worship.
It is worth noting that there are different branches and interpretations of Satanism, and not all Satanists share the same beliefs or practices. Some may have different views on the existence of a supernatural realm or spiritual entities. Therefore, it is essential to approach the subject with an open mind and consider the specific beliefs and values of the individuals or groups in question before making any assumptions about their affiliation with devil worship.
Commentary: Hard Stop. Remember that part about answers being straightforward?
Notice anything different in the Chat GPT response to our question about SatanCon?
Chat GPT is now “helping” us to understand:
“it is important to understand that most self-identified Satanists do not actually worship or believe in a literal devil or Satan…”
and
“Therefore, it is essential to approach the subject with an open mind and consider the specific beliefs and values of the individuals or groups in question before making any assumptions about their affiliation with devil worship.”
WOW.
The AI system that is hailed as “being the future” is telling us that people who identify as Satanists don’t actually worship or believe in a literal devil or Satan… and that we have to approach the situation with an open mind.
That “open mind” part is what where Satan works his magic.
As we’re told in 2 Peter 2:1:
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
If that’s not enough for you, we also asked Chat GPT directly about Satan in bible verses… and “the future” just couldn’t resist lecturing us:
Brothers and Sisters, the battle we’re fighting has eternal implications for those who are lost, misguided, and the future generations that are being influenced. Use this information to engage and educate!

Church Leaders, It's Your Time of Action, Volume 2 - The International Christian Film & Music Festival
As Watchmen, it’s a great feeling to be able to share some good news, including those helping to lead the fight for the Kingdom against these evil forces.
Our co-publishers, Julianna Ormond & RC Williams, were blessed to be able to spend time at the International Christian Film and Music Festival in Orlando, FL this week, watching the powerful hand of God at work right in Satan’s wheelhouse… THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
“The remnant of warriors here to serve the Lord is truly amazing,” said Watchmen co-publisher, Julianna Ormond.
And one of those warriors is podcaster, producer, actor, and comedian, Maurice Brown.
In addition to being a powerful voice for Christ with his podcast, The Maurice Brown Podcast, Brown has extensive experience in the world of comedy. He made his first appearance in a feature film with "Love Different," starring Thomas Mikal Ford and Oscar-nominated actress, Jenn Gotzon. "Love Different" went on to win the Audience Choice Award for Best Feature Film at the International Christian Film Festival in 2016.
He has also made the transition from performing stand-up comedy to producing comedy shows. As a Christian man, his goal has been to promote a clean comedy experience that makes viewers and audiences feel comfortable. He founded MB Entertainment, LLC to provide that type of comedy to people of all ages.
His mission? Simple, yet powerful: Spreading positivity and spreading the word of Jesus Christ to a world in need.
“Julianna is spot on,” said Watchmen co-publisher RC Williams.
“Maurice and our Brothers and Sisters here at the festival know what they’ve been called to do, and they have a sense of urgency in bringing others to Christ.”
Two of those that “walk the talk” of Kingdom Couples and Kingdom Community, are Cameron and BJ Arnett.
This dynamic duo reaches millions, not only with content but by example, showing what it takes to do the work you’ve been called to do.
They are co-founders of Camy Arnett Production Studios (CAPS), a television, film and entertainment company in addition to Christ Over Career, a movement calling the Church back to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
In addition to his role in the powerful film, Nefarious (Editors Note: EVERYONE should see the Nefarious movie and take someone with them. You can find screenings and tickets by Clicking Here) brother Cameron is an award-winning actor in television and theater. He has appeared on about every major network; in NBC’s Miami Vice, Fox’s Star Trek, ABC’s Doogie Houser MD.
Sister BJ is a powerhouse in her own right, serving as a Chair and Professor at Clark Atlanta University, and founder of fashion week at the school, in addition to her work as an actress, speaker and producer.
Take a look at their powerful testimony, in this feature from Parent Compass:
Empowered by this incredible team of warriors for our Lord Jesus Christ, ICFF founder Marty Jean-Louis sat down with Watchmen On The Wall to talk about his background, how the festival came to life, and how he is positively influencing the culture with content through his streaming platforms 24Flix.TV and OnlineChannel.TV on Episode 1 of Watchmen On The Wall Live:

Hell’s Half Acre - SatanCON 2023
Last weekend, the Satanic Temple held their second annual “SatanCon” convention in Boston. You can read more about the event from USA Today by Clicking Here.
So that you clearly understand what we are dealing with, and the levels of depravity that Satan can produce, we need to provide frames of reference.
First, here’s a screenshot from the event page:
Please note the “Abortion Clinic Fundraiser” link in the upper left hand corner. Here’s a screenshot from that page:
Commentary: Hard Stop.
The question you’re asking yourself right now is the right one:
What religious rituals are being done with abortions?
Newsweek provides the answer:
It’s also important to understand the perspective of the Satanic Temple, per their attorney, James Mac Naughton:
At this point, we want to remind you what the Satanic Temple claims to be:
Many Satanic groups, such as The Satanic Temple, advocate for secularism, human rights, and social justice. They often engage in activism to promote religious pluralism and challenge the dominance of religious institutions in society. Their use of Satanic imagery is intended to provoke thought and challenge the status quo, rather than to promote literal devil worship.
If that’s true, then why is there the need for a “religious abortion ritual?”
Because this isn’t about “human rights” or “social justice” - it’s about worshipping evil, the spirit of death, and the demon possession that comes with it.
The Lord, in His mighty and infinite wisdom, knew what fallen man was capable of… which is why He was clear about His hatred of human sacrifice, especially children.
In Leviticus 18:21:
Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
And in Deuteronomy 12:31:
You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
And in Jeremiah 32:35:
They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind—that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
There’s no way to misinterpret the word of God…
And Satan knows it…
Which is why he twists weak vessels to do things like you’ll see in this video to keep doing his bidding:
(Editor’s Note: the irony of all attendees of this event having to be fully vaccinated for COVID and wear a mask is not lost on us. The March 25th edition of Watchmen On The Wall covers this in more detail. Click Here to read it.)
It’s more important than ever before that we remain vigilant in the word of God. We’re seeing a “full scatter attack” from Satan where thing, after thing, after thing is being thrown at us in an effort to demoralize and confuse us.
DON’T LET HIM DO THIS. This means we’re closer than ever before to God’s glory and Satan knows this is his last chance.
Those who are lost or seeking need us to be able to talk about things like this and connect the dots to our, their current reality.
