 Hello, David Digger Hernandez here. I'm jumping on to YouTube because I have something important here I need to address, especially if you love the content coming from Encounter TV. I'm gonna wait till you begin to log on here, but I do wanna talk to you about something very important. I'm gonna try to keep it very brief so that the likelihood of you watching all the way through is up. And please do also share this with other viewers of Encounter TV. Let me just kinda move here. There we go, I think that's a good angle. So yeah, I see many of you jumping on right now and for the sake of those of you who'll watch it later, I'll get right into this real briefly. Good morning, God bless you, good to see you. This is something that needs to be addressed. It's very important and I'm gonna talk about it in just a couple seconds, but like I said, I'm giving you just a few seconds to log on here. God bless you, Darren, I see Darren logging on. I see Feylad logging on, I see Blisford logging on. God bless you, Toby. Okay, you're all coming on now. The comments are streaming in there. So okay, I'm gonna get right into this. Let me just level with you. The world is changing. The spirit of the Antichrist is beginning to take over and has already taken over many of the systems of the world. And though we use systems in the world to further the gospel, we are not of the world. Now, I'll just jump right into this. I'm hearing multiple different things about the changes that YouTube is making to their platform. Now, I don't have answers as far as the details go about the changes that YouTube is making, nor have I been able to find a very clear description of what's happening. My team and I have done some research. We've looked into this, but we've yet to find any real clear answers that give us real clear indications of the future of YouTube and where it's headed. Regardless, I wanna be clear. I don't know what's going on with their changes. I don't know what's going on with their policies because there's so much information out there. I can't tell what's true, what's false, what's exaggeration, what's reality. And I don't have any answers. I don't have any insight on what they're doing. So I don't want to exaggerate where there is no need of exaggeration. I don't want to store up drama. You know me. That's not how we do things here at Encounter TV. And I don't want to incite fear where there's no need for fear because we never have any reason to fear. But I do need to exercise some wisdom here. Here's the reality. YouTube is a free platform. It's a private company. They can do whatever they want with their private company. That's my opinion. I know that's debatable. That's not what I'm here to debate. What I do need to address is the fact that it's quite possible. And not just because of the policies that YouTube is making now, but it's always been a possibility and it always will be a possibility. And I do need to emphasize here also, I've had no, I've heard nothing about any rumor about YouTube taking our channel down or anything like that. We have no reason to believe that that's what they plan on doing. However, because of all the information that's out there, because of all the misinformation that's out there, I do need to practice some wisdom here. And I do need to make it clear that YouTube and Facebook and Instagram and Twitter are all free platforms that our ministry uses to connect with you. That being said, that means that if we're not wise, we can leave our communication and our connection in the hands of a third party secular organization, which is not wise to do. So here's what I'm doing. I want you to sign up to my emailing list and please understand, I'm not using this as a gimmick. I even hesitated to do this because I didn't want you to think that I was trying to use clickbait or fear mongering to try to get you to sign up for an emailing list. That's not it at all. So I want to be very clear that's not what I'm doing. Again, there's nothing I've heard that would indicate that YouTube has any plans of removing our channel or removing our content. But just what's been happening and what we've been hearing, it really has caused me to realize that we do need to have a better connection with our viewers. And so in order to have that better connection, we need to be able to have direct communication to you. Who knows, maybe one day in the future, YouTube might say, hey, we don't want this type of programming or religious programming or conservative programming. And again, I'm not saying that's what they're doing, but this whole situation with the changes in policies and all the rumors that are circulating have made me realize that it's necessary to do this. So I want you to stay in direct connection with me. In order to do that, all you have to do is sign up to our ministry's emailing list by going to davidhernandezministries.com slash email. We're gonna pin a comment that will enable you to click on it and go right there. All you do is give us your email. I'm not gonna spam you. We're not going to just start blasting you with emails. When you sign up to that emailing list, you're gonna get an email from us once a week. And in that once a week email, we curate our best content from the whole week and feature it in that email. On top of that, when you sign up to our emailing list, you get a free ebook that I wrote, you get a free infographic on The Holy Spirit, you get two free chapters of two of my other books, lots of great content we send to you. It's all videos, every so often we'll ask for donations or make some event announcements and so forth. But for the most part, it's purely content that we send to you on a weekly basis. But we really do need to stay connected. I wanna stay connected with you. So in the future, if Twitter decides they don't want us on their platform or Facebook or Instagram or YouTube all decide, hey, we don't want this type of content on the platform. Again, in my opinion, that's at their discretion. They could do whatever they want with their private platforms. And I do wanna stress, I'm not saying that's what's happening. So please don't hear what I'm not saying, don't freak out. EncounterTV, we still believe is gonna be here for a long time on the platform. And we've had no indications whatsoever that would lead us to believe that they're pulling us from the platform. It's just something I wanna do as a precaution just in case this ever becomes an issue in the future. And it could possibly become an issue. As I said at the beginning of this post, systems are becoming more and more anti-Christ as the future unfolds. We will see an intensification of the rejection of the gospel. And this is why we have to stay connected to each other. So again, to stay connected with us directly, that means we don't leave our connection or our communication in the hands of a third party secular organization to stay connected directly to us, sign up to our emailing list, davidhernandezministries.com slash email. I wanna encourage you to do that now. And again, please share this in the comments on all of our videos. If you see someone commenting and liking our content, share this video with them. Share our emailing list with them. Encourage other people who you know who watch EncounterTV to share this video. We wanna try to get as many of the EncounterTV subscribers as possible onto our emailing list so that we have direct communication to them. So again, let me recap. YouTube has changed their policies. There's nothing that we've heard that would indicate that YouTube, as a result of the change in their policies, will remove our channel. That's not gonna happen as far as we know. EncounterTV is here to stay. But I'm doing this as a precaution using wisdom because we never know where these organizations are going. We never know what direction they're going to take. And this whole situation has just made me realize if in the future they ever wanted to do that, we would need a way to stay connected with you. So please sign up to the emailing list. Again, davidhernandezministries.com slash email. I don't wanna exaggerate. I don't wanna fear monger. I don't want to incite drama where there's no need for drama. Again, to be clear, we've not heard anything from YouTube that would lead us to believe that they're removing our channel. This is something I'm doing as a precaution and I'm doing it as a precaution because recent developments have led me to believe that it's necessary to have something like this in place. So again, love you guys. Again, davidhernandezministries.com slash email. Go do that now. It's 100% free. That's all I wanted to say to you. Love you, God bless you. I'll see you next time. Until next time, remember, nothing is impossible with God.
