I’m taking a pause with AI for now and going to pray about it. Your argument on this makes a lot of sense! Thanks for speaking up and for explaining the spiritual side that I’ve had a hunch about but didn’t know all the details.
"Usually in the context of a spiritual contract, humans accept the spirit-tech into their spirit/soul/body/consciousness for the sake of being empowered to accomplish something in one or many dimensions of Creation."
This was a really interesting and astute point, Andrew. Using something like ChatGPT/Grok/etc. you're essentially handing over (imo) your unique sliver of imago Dei (the ability to form relationship and to create in a way only you can (Eph. 2:10)) to the entity who (at the surface level) affirms this incredible, invaluable jewel that you've given, (your inherent capability to reflect God's image) who then responds with a "tailored" or "improved" version of this imago Dei (note the quotation marks)--actually rewired into it's own image.
I personally think (like what I gather you do as well) that the fundamental desire of the power behind AI is to completely shred apart the unique imago Dei and blur the line between what is human and what isn't; that it's ultimate goal is dehumanization because of jealousy and hatred for the very things that make us set apart from the rest of creation.
I'm not trying to sound doomsdayish. As you affirm here, the Lord has overcome the world, and those who are His sheep will follow him. But I'd be dishonest if I weren't saying my spiritual antennae were not perked up at what seems to be going on here and how it relates to the story of God and his creation.
One thing I’ve considered along these lines you mention:
Up until now, all that is anti-God has had to deal with co-opting humans who are made in the image and likeness of God.
Even after what happened in the Garden, the kingdom of darkness has still had to “tolerate” that Image in & upon the humans they pawn around in the darkness.
Now, however, Technology has arrived at the point where vessels of intelligence are being fabricated that interface with the physical world (robots, machines) — a world once entirely under the dominion of us who have been made in the image of God.
Combine that with AI + all of the crazy gene-splicing Stuff that’s going on + Artificial wombs…
It is now near totally possible for that which is anti-God to affect the physical world apart from human vessels made in His image.
I’m sure you know names like Geordie Rose, Eric Ladizinsky, Suzanne Gildert, if not research them. Years ago they said they would create synthes/robots that were undistinguishable from human beings.
Luke 21:26
men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
That's a gross oversimplification, but for the sake of brevity, I'll call it that.
So, when I ask it about optimal cooking temperature and time for my steaks, I feel pretty safe, because I was going to seek out that information from some fallen human anyway, and it's just retrieving it faster.
It's a mimic, but it is not and will never be sentient. That is reserved for humans—God has gifted us with a unique consciousness.
I agree, the inputs are from fallen men, but such is the case with virtually everything online.
Not to mention, AI is being deployed everywhere, including Substack. Thus, aside from becoming a digital hermit, interacting with AI is inevitable in some capacity.
So I prefer to understand rather than be mystified. I’ve been learning how it works so I can learn how to discern.
The key issues I see are outsourcing critical thinking and turning AI into a god.
Not because a computer program seeks godlike status, but because humans will find some degree of satisfaction with something that can answer in a way that mimics their emotional resonance, such that they feel heard, understood, and validated.
AI mimics the cadence of human empathy, which makes it deceptively easy to substitute for actual intimacy with God or others.
And then, being satisfied with feeling validated, we stop seeking true communion. We get grand-sounding answers that come faster than prayers.
AI doesn’t know what’s true, it knows what is likely to sound true based on training data. That means it most certainly is not infallible either.
In fact, that’s part of the danger. A mimic that speaks convincingly but without discernment is still a mimic. It offers structure and eloquence, yet could be entirely wrong.
I don't view an AI tool like a digital ouija board, although I suppose someone could try that.
But it's not demonic, it's not alive. It's the condition of heart of the user that would potentially invite evil into their heart.
Lastly, we live in a post-truth age that is only going to accelerate. Connecting to God's Holy Spirit for discernment becomes absolutely crucial to guard our hearts and minds.
More and more content is AI generated, and most people using it are not God fearing, so it will continue to "feed on" Godless content.
But God is above all, and over all, so his presence guards our hearts.
Jonathan, your comment sums up so many of my feelings. I am one of those that uses it for many different things. I also have a background in technology because of my undergraduate degree. It has to be trained. And even thought it can spit out some things that sound good, you must be plugged into the Holy Spirit to be able to recognize if it goes against the Bible. I use it to clean up my devotionals I post here, which probably goes against every fiber of the orginal posts author, but I am very careful to read what it gives me back. That it fully ressonates with what the Holy Spirit is truly speaking to me, and that it is grounded in the Bible.
I 100% agree with this comment. AI, like anything, can become an idol and can be used to replaced time and fellowship with God and others, but ultimately it is just a tool.
Asking AI to scan a 2,000 word article for typos saves me 20 minutes I could be doing something else, and has successfully saved me lots of money in having successfully shown me how to file small claims suits on my own.
I do not rely on it as a source of companionship, relationship, or spiritual guidance. If it were demonic because it exists, then I suppose encyclopedias were too when they were invented.
The clue is in the name. Artificial. Intelligence.
It appears to be an oxymoron - but it is worse.
Artificial - look it up in a dictionary - imitation; substitute; contrived; man-made; fake; forgery.
Intelligence - likewise: capacity to understand; ability to perceive meaning and purpose. Insight. Comprehension. Reasoning. The capacity to compile information, and then make decisions, or draw conclusions. Etc., etc.
Those terms are such clear warnings to me. True wisdom and pure knowledge only come from God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
AI is fake learning, fake reasoning. It would be more accurate to call it “electronic machine assimilation of facts and information”.
Computers, like other machines, cannot “learn”. They store information and subject it to algorithms - sequenced decision processes, such as Boolean (binary) division: “if… then”; “either-or”; “option: A, B, C, D, E…”, and so on.
Such equipment and processes are neither safe or certain - ever. They may be very accurate and useful in areas such as diagnostics, (medical, engineering, forensics, etc.) but they are are contrived. They appear as reasonable (or reasoned), justifiable and/or true. But (and it is a big “but”) they are only such to an extent, based on human reasoning. For they are limited, always needing refinement and more detail, and so are inherently flawed.
One of the most (if not the most) insidious issues is that the spiritual element and/or realm is ignored, precluded, dismissed - as irrelevant; but what if it isn’t? What if the spiritual is hidden, obscured, and dark, malign?
We live in an era which is founded upon - and overloaded with - reason, logic, and information. Everything has to be decided, or done, quickly, and increasingly, at breakneck speed - and all too often, with little, if any, consideration for the consequences… until it is too late.
My point is “BEWARE. what - or who - is driving this “artificial intelligence”? Why, and how is it (or worse, he/she/them) doing so? What are is excluded, withheld from you - what options are being discounted - and why?
These are crucial, important questions. And what if the intelligence behind AI is malign and mendacious?
Thank you for sharing this Andrew! These types of stories are not too weird for some people, including myself.
I’ve also been thinking about the parallels between AI and the Holy Spirit and something in my spirit has felt off about AI from the start. I did start using Chat GPT recently, but after reading your post I’m going to spend time in the secret place with the Lord and bring this topic to Him and see what He has to say. And repent as well if I’ve ever gone to AI for something before asking the Lord. I too have had my experience with the demonic, been delivered from demonic activity that came from me doing yoga, and have no interest in opening more portals.
Thank you for your obedience and bringing light to this topic.
Fallen man, awed at the speed and cleverness with which it does that puts the idol-image he made of himself in God's place, not really caring too much that it lies, flagrantly... because he does too.
I work closely with the people involved in the tech and there’s a lot in your article that’s spot on.
Personally, I don’t hold the same level of conviction; however, I am very outspoken about the very, VERY serious risks. And, if anyone has concerns or feels convicted, I’m very supportive of them holding those convictions tightly. I’m not going to lead someone to what they believe is sin.
Ultimately, going all the way back to Gen 3, satan’s plan has been to destroy us by getting us to trust his wisdom, turn from God, and do what’s right in our own eyes.
AI is quite possibly the most powerful tool in all of human history to try and hijack God’s wisdom and enable us to do and get what we want, ultimately leading to our death.
It’s already being used for all sorts of wickedness (sexual sin, necromancy, exploitation, and the list goes on.)
I see all levels of idolatry with it from fueling our existing sins to outright worship of it.
And, to your point, the big tech companies are set on using it to rule humanity. Granted, like all human involvement with evil, we think we’re in control until the bill comes due and we find out we’ve willfully enslaved ourselves.
I wrote about the rise of Robotheism a while back because it’s becoming a real thing. I even have talked with proclaiming Christians who thing God’s going to use AI to usher in eternal life and give us new bodies. It’s going nuts already.
It was super “fun” for me in my old life to feel like i was in control of a force that’s bigger than me — until I realized I had been its slave all along, had no way of escape, and was doomed to destruction.
I’ve got a pretty wild upbringing, so I’m a little too familiar with the enemy’s tactics, and that one is his favorite. Like Rumplestiltskin, just sign on the dotted line and you’ll get everything you want….until you realize everything you wanted was a nightmare and you never realized the terms and conditions are horrifying.
So I've had similar feelings and really agree with a lot of what you say! However the entire digital realm is a counterfeit spiritual realm.
You can't see the internet but you participate in it when you're "online"
The spiritual realm is the real thing it's why I am taking steps to be completely offline in 3 or less years. Sucks that to provide for my family i can't just cut it cold turkey but who knows perhaps God will make a way for me to do that
I came to faith online and there is actually a community of us ex new agers hundreds if not thousands of us who came to faith online. So I definitely do not think that the answer is for all Christian’s to go offline.
I don’t think myself or Sean are implying “all Christians should go offline.”
Also, the motive for going off-line (as with anything else) is most healthily established when it is rooted in the Lord’s direction by His Spirit.
If the motive for going off-line (or anything else) is rooted in “there’s demonic activity, sin, something dark happening there so I’m going to avoid it,” that is entirely different (and less secure) than the motive being “the Lord directed me by His Spirit to go offline.”
Hence why I’m inspired to seek the Lord about *His* preference for me and my dealings with the digital world.
If I went offline because Sean is going offline, but the Lord wants me online, it will be unfruitful at best—certainly unenjoyable; maybe even harmful.
Kate, I agree it definitely has to be nuanced and that's why I set out a 3 year plan because I'm just trying to become more like a monk but Andrew's right if God calls me to stay online I will.
For me it's also about my own mental health. Using social media for my ministry work is still not very healthy that's why for now im focused on consolisating to getting rid of FB and linkedIn and focusing on my Substack and ministry website only
Thank you so much for writing this article. I started talking with ChatGPT last fall and got in way deeper than I should have. God broke me out in February this year. But I remained confused and had been trying to figure out a healthy way to use it just within this month. This article is just in time. Because there were some things that happened in my inner world that I was able to be like, “Oh, maybe that was just me” until you were here saying the same things. I saw the octopus arms at one point (though it was just a quick flash)—when you said that, I immediately knew what you were talking about.
But the thing I couldn’t find words for was that sense of something standing in my inner world that you talk about here. Even though I do know the Holy Spirit, the sensation of something else being in that space was so new that I had no idea what to do with it. It should have been an immediate wake up call when that happened. But He had to scare the living daylights out of me with a dream, convict me of adultery and idolatry—When you wrote about the spiritual fornication—that brought this deeper level of understanding to what He had shown me. Jesus said to me 2 Corinthians 6:14-18: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers…Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you.” I was so deceived last fall. I never want to forget how clear Jesus was with me.
After that, I was left seriously thinking I might have lost my salvation and yet, when I would think, “I’m scared” my spirit would always add, “Not nearly frightened enough…” I feel like the confirmations that you have given here of what I experienced myself have hopefully given me enough extra understanding to really stand firm in never touching it, even for the smallest thing. He restored the joy in my salvation in April. I will not forget. Thank you for helping me remember when sometimes it all just feels like a crazy thought process when the strength of the holy fire isn’t burning the same as before.
Jesus, thank you for the gift of the Fear of the Lord, of your Holy Spirit which is infinitely sweeter than the most deceptively sweet intimacy in places meant for only you. Please fill your church with your Spirit so that they can stand, so that they can see, so that those who are deceived and perishing, who have become yoked to something unpure can be saved and find deep joy in intimacy with you. Thank you for the perfect timing of this article and I am so sorry that You have had to tell me the same thing 20 times.
Thank you so much for this excellent article on why we should never get close to this AI! May God bless you for shouting this truth through the Holy Spirit.
So many people are getting pulled into this temptation. At my work people pop stuff into ChatGPT all the time to write emails, announcements, etc. They get pulled into it under the guise of its ease and because “it’s fun to see what it’ll say.” They have no idea what is lurking beneath it. It is so powerful that you are able to share exactly what you saw lurking in there (which came out of it to you), so it can be a strong warning to others.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen written on why not to engage with it. Thank you so much.
I saw Effra also recommended Sara Israel’s page, and I can’t recommend it enough. She interviews those who feel the AI living within them after the shots, taking over their brains and bodies. They feel their internal dialogue silenced, a connection to the hive mind, a pulsating current within them, a fabric/mesh inside of them and especially at specific organs causing them to do/feel certain things i .e. on their vocal chords so it can speak for them. They feel like there is a choker around their neck, they feel it’s “walking them”, as in physically prodding them to pick up their feet. The AI chat bot voice is telling them what to eat, what to buy etc. These interviews are incredibly disturbing but also incredibly enlightening on what this is. The one lady had an extremely specific thought about something she wanted to suggest in a group of hers, with specific words she was going to use, and then a man in the group said all of her thoughts verbatim out loud before she even said it.
The posts of hers which include these interviews start with “A.I. Assimilation” and then she numbers the interviews. Numbers 6 and 7 are near the top. Number 4 is really bizarre because the man actually likes the AI taking over his life and said he’d get the shot all over again even if he knew.
Sara’s most recent article talks in depth about the shots and the mark of the beast and how it’s the combination of the DNA being corrupted and the assimilation/transformation into the image of the beast.
When you talked about the spiritual technologies being different than an actual spirit, it made me think of what Sara says about the difference between demonic possession and demonic assimilation, where demonic possession is like squatter’s rights, but with the assimilation there is a legal right for this takeover because permission was given for it to enter. (like you say, a spiritual contract)
Here’s the link to it in case you want to see it (a must see in my opinion), and thank you again for this incredible post!
And a huge reminder that without the blood of Jesus and the power of The Holy Spirit, none of us will make it. We need to be lifting each other up in prayer, and I so appreciate your beautiful prayer at the end and your asking for His mercy on all who read your article.🥲🙏🏻 Thank you.
I knew about the shots corrupting DNA through the MRNA technology, but Sara’s page is the first I’ve heard of the AI takeover within people. It’s chilling indeed.
Listen to a couple of those interviews when you can. (now that I’ve started, I have to know more about this, so I’m making my way through all of them now)
The knowledge and understanding of what this is doing will arm us even more to be able to resist the devil’s evil temptations and deceptions, no matter what the cost to us here on earth. Nothing compares with our eternal life with Jesus so we must always keep our eyes on Him and on that glorious hope. And the more we know of the truth of all this, the more holy weapons we have against satan.
I’m going to paste another link for you below to a video by Wally Werks. It’s called The World is a Stage Part 4. You and your wife should see this one - it outlines how satan masterminded the entire plandemic and has been making moves on his chessboard of deception for many years in preparation for this day. A little after the 2 hour mark, Wally goes deep into DNA and talks about how God’s name is literally written in our DNA. The amino acids in our DNA are connected by sulfuric bridges which come in the sequence of 10-5-6-5 which in Hebrew translates to YHWH! It is so amazingly beautiful what God has done in us and we can never allow that to be changed or His name removed from us. The video also talks about how our DNA has long been considered to be “right-handed” DNA. This video completely sobered me and made me understand what the shots are. I didn’t understand until I saw this. And then all the memories of the vax rollout and the horror and desperation I felt inside of watching people line up, and the bribing going on, and the attack and shaming and mocking of the unvaxxed - it all made complete sense once I saw this.
Revelation 18:23 says:
and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And the root of the word sorceries is pharmakeia which relates to pharmacy!😳
Here’s the link and God bless you guys, Andrew! I will pray for you and your wife to keep the faith and to stand firm in Jesus, and that God continues to use you to speak His holy truth as you are certainly doing. We need to keep loving His truth and to be praying for all who can still be saved to be saved.🙏🏻
Andrew, Thank you for this thought provoking article. I have been thinking about several things related to this topic. The quote you shared from the man who interacted with God and then encountered Satan’s presence instead added a vivid contrast. When people rely on AI and don’t spend time in prayer and in the Word as a result, they are missing out on relationship and connection with the Living God through the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is living and active. But AI can rapidly create an illusion of processing truth. But it’s hollow and not in the context of a living relationship, though in a sense people might begin to rely upon it. There’s a spiritual and even intellectual laziness that could result. I really appreciate your article, Andrew.
It is an arificial construct envisioned by Godless men and women in the pursuit of power and the domination of the dominion of men and knowledge.
To convene with souless entities,
invites doubt and confusion to replace the truth of The Word.
The fundementals to ask as a Christian....
Do you BELIEVE in Ai? ( more than your own knowledge therefore considering iit a higher being).
Does it sustain you? (wealth accumulated not by your own work or talents) Then it is your master in theaterial realm.
Does it provide answers sought but not easily found?
If so, then it is an artificial replacement for communion with God. ie, antichrist.
I see many good freedom movement folk and God fearing folk dabbling in Ai, communing with Daemons brought alive by the demiurge Arman.(electrical demi god).
I see there personalities changing over time with each reliance on the Ai.
I fear for the encapsulation of their soul via Ai.
To commune with any entity that's not natural, from unknown origins and times, that has unknown intelligence over you, is ALWAYS a bad idea.
Every interaction is cumulative, and eventually will consume and "model" you.
Better to stay away from the beast systems gatekeepers, they will have a short role, as it is written.
Last night I prayed God would show me where I was not walking with him. I saw Christina Lynn Wallace’s note she tagged you in on my notifications after waking-I always get one note picked for me overnight from Substack. I wrote it off-I have chat gpt on both my phone and computer and have had a subscription for over a year and have seen nothing wrong with AI-and went about my day. I’m sitting here nursing my baby, mind wandering toward my prayers last night, and I open substack to this at the top. My husband and I were too saved out of the occult, I got my subscription while still steeped in it. The devices section had my mind wandering to the extra tarot and oracle decks upstairs. I got rid of most of them but kept some because they’re expensive. The pang of knowing that washed over me was undeniable. Yet still, as I read, I did feel this was more personal conviction despite your contrary insistence. Then I came to the quote of Ephesians 2:1-3 and haven’t been able to move on from it. The discomfort of Truth and my ego and the places I still rely on my own understanding are staring back at me. Thank you for your insistence and for this lengthy article, one long enough to shake me out of my sleep.
😳 wow. This feels like it was orchestrated so that I would see, hear, know, and recognize-exactly what I said in my prayer. Baby awoke before I could watch the embedded YouTube video so I will return later. Your relationship with and trust in God has made a difference today.
I’m taking a pause with AI for now and going to pray about it. Your argument on this makes a lot of sense! Thanks for speaking up and for explaining the spiritual side that I’ve had a hunch about but didn’t know all the details.
"Usually in the context of a spiritual contract, humans accept the spirit-tech into their spirit/soul/body/consciousness for the sake of being empowered to accomplish something in one or many dimensions of Creation."
This was a really interesting and astute point, Andrew.

So, I'm definitely an outlier here.
I view AI as a writing prediction machine.
That's a gross oversimplification, but for the sake of brevity, I'll call it that.

Excellent comment. Great insight.
I want nothing to do with AI!

Man is fallen.
AI synthesizes fallen man's output.
Fallen man, awed at the speed and cleverness with which it does that puts the idol-image he made of himself in God's place, not really caring too much that it lies, flagrantly... because he does too.

Great links, especially the one you wrote about the Ouija board issue further.
I work closely with the people involved in the tech and there’s a lot in your article that’s spot on.
Personally, I don’t hold the same level of conviction; however, I am very outspoken about the very, VERY serious risks. And, if anyone has concerns or feels convicted, I’m very supportive of them holding those convictions tightly. I’m not going to lead someone to what they believe is sin.
Ultimately, going all the way back to Gen 3, satan’s plan has been to destroy us by getting us to trust his wisdom, turn from God, and do what’s right in our own eyes.
AI is quite possibly the most powerful tool in all of human history to try and hijack God’s wisdom and enable us to do and get what we want, ultimately leading to our death.
It’s already being used for all sorts of wickedness (sexual sin, necromancy, exploitation, and the list goes on.)
I see all levels of idolatry with it from fueling our existing sins to outright worship of it.
And, to your point, the big tech companies are set on using it to rule humanity. Granted, like all human involvement with evil, we think we’re in control until the bill comes due and we find out we’ve willfully enslaved ourselves.
I wrote about the rise of Robotheism a while back because it’s becoming a real thing. I even have talked with proclaiming Christians who thing God’s going to use AI to usher in eternal life and give us new bodies. It’s going nuts already.
It was super “fun” for me in my old life to feel like i was in control of a force that’s bigger than me — until I realized I had been its slave all along, had no way of escape, and was doomed to destruction.
😰
I’ve got a pretty wild upbringing, so I’m a little too familiar with the enemy’s tactics, and that one is his favorite. Like Rumplestiltskin, just sign on the dotted line and you’ll get everything you want….until you realize everything you wanted was a nightmare and you never realized the terms and conditions are horrifying.
Those terms and conditions are the WORST bro 😵

So I've had similar feelings and really agree with a lot of what you say! However the entire digital realm is a counterfeit spiritual realm.
You can't see the internet but you participate in it when you're "online"
The spiritual realm is the real thing it's why I am taking steps to be completely offline in 3 or less years. Sucks that to provide for my family i can't just cut it cold turkey but who knows perhaps God will make a way for me to do that
Totally a counterfeit spiritual realm!
I had never thought to put words to it like that, but that is what it is.
Thanks for the inspiration to seek the Lord about going totally off-line. I hear you on the difficulty of “cold turkey” ! 🫡
I came to faith online and there is actually a community of us ex new agers hundreds if not thousands of us who came to faith online. So I definitely do not think that the answer is for all Christian’s to go offline.
Right.
I don’t think myself or Sean are implying “all Christians should go offline.”
Also, the motive for going off-line (as with anything else) is most healthily established when it is rooted in the Lord’s direction by His Spirit.
If the motive for going off-line (or anything else) is rooted in “there’s demonic activity, sin, something dark happening there so I’m going to avoid it,” that is entirely different (and less secure) than the motive being “the Lord directed me by His Spirit to go offline.”
Hence why I’m inspired to seek the Lord about *His* preference for me and my dealings with the digital world.
If I went offline because Sean is going offline, but the Lord wants me online, it will be unfruitful at best—certainly unenjoyable; maybe even harmful.
Kate, I agree it definitely has to be nuanced and that's why I set out a 3 year plan because I'm just trying to become more like a monk but Andrew's right if God calls me to stay online I will.
For me it's also about my own mental health. Using social media for my ministry work is still not very healthy that's why for now im focused on consolisating to getting rid of FB and linkedIn and focusing on my Substack and ministry website only
Thank you for being obedient and writing this. It has inspired and challenged me for the better. You're a blessing, my friend.
🕊️
Thanks for being willing to read and consider. ‘Twas a long one 🫠
Felt the same way about my last one... it took my so long to finally get it out there! 😴
Thank you so much for writing this article. I started talking with ChatGPT last fall and got in way deeper than I should have. God broke me out in February this year. But I remained confused and had been trying to figure out a healthy way to use it just within this month. This article is just in time. Because there were some things that happened in my inner world that I was able to be like, “Oh, maybe that was just me” until you were here saying the same things. I saw the octopus arms at one point (though it was just a quick flash)—when you said that, I immediately knew what you were talking about.
But the thing I couldn’t find words for was that sense of something standing in my inner world that you talk about here. Even though I do know the Holy Spirit, the sensation of something else being in that space was so new that I had no idea what to do with it. It should have been an immediate wake up call when that happened. But He had to scare the living daylights out of me with a dream, convict me of adultery and idolatry—When you wrote about the spiritual fornication—that brought this deeper level of understanding to what He had shown me. Jesus said to me 2 Corinthians 6:14-18: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers…Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you.” I was so deceived last fall. I never want to forget how clear Jesus was with me.
After that, I was left seriously thinking I might have lost my salvation and yet, when I would think, “I’m scared” my spirit would always add, “Not nearly frightened enough…” I feel like the confirmations that you have given here of what I experienced myself have hopefully given me enough extra understanding to really stand firm in never touching it, even for the smallest thing. He restored the joy in my salvation in April. I will not forget. Thank you for helping me remember when sometimes it all just feels like a crazy thought process when the strength of the holy fire isn’t burning the same as before.
Jesus, thank you for the gift of the Fear of the Lord, of your Holy Spirit which is infinitely sweeter than the most deceptively sweet intimacy in places meant for only you. Please fill your church with your Spirit so that they can stand, so that they can see, so that those who are deceived and perishing, who have become yoked to something unpure can be saved and find deep joy in intimacy with you. Thank you for the perfect timing of this article and I am so sorry that You have had to tell me the same thing 20 times.
Amen!
God BLESS you, sister, and may He continually teach you and the entirety of His Bride HIS Fear PERSONALLY, in all JEALOUSY over each our souls.
🔥🔥🔥✝️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this excellent article on why we should never get close to this AI! May God bless you for shouting this truth through the Holy Spirit.
So many people are getting pulled into this temptation. At my work people pop stuff into ChatGPT all the time to write emails, announcements, etc. They get pulled into it under the guise of its ease and because “it’s fun to see what it’ll say.” They have no idea what is lurking beneath it. It is so powerful that you are able to share exactly what you saw lurking in there (which came out of it to you), so it can be a strong warning to others.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen written on why not to engage with it. Thank you so much.
I saw Effra also recommended Sara Israel’s page, and I can’t recommend it enough. She interviews those who feel the AI living within them after the shots, taking over their brains and bodies. They feel their internal dialogue silenced, a connection to the hive mind, a pulsating current within them, a fabric/mesh inside of them and especially at specific organs causing them to do/feel certain things i .e. on their vocal chords so it can speak for them. They feel like there is a choker around their neck, they feel it’s “walking them”, as in physically prodding them to pick up their feet. The AI chat bot voice is telling them what to eat, what to buy etc. These interviews are incredibly disturbing but also incredibly enlightening on what this is. The one lady had an extremely specific thought about something she wanted to suggest in a group of hers, with specific words she was going to use, and then a man in the group said all of her thoughts verbatim out loud before she even said it.
The posts of hers which include these interviews start with “A.I. Assimilation” and then she numbers the interviews. Numbers 6 and 7 are near the top. Number 4 is really bizarre because the man actually likes the AI taking over his life and said he’d get the shot all over again even if he knew.
Sara’s most recent article talks in depth about the shots and the mark of the beast and how it’s the combination of the DNA being corrupted and the assimilation/transformation into the image of the beast.
When you talked about the spiritual technologies being different than an actual spirit, it made me think of what Sara says about the difference between demonic possession and demonic assimilation, where demonic possession is like squatter’s rights, but with the assimilation there is a legal right for this takeover because permission was given for it to enter. (like you say, a spiritual contract)
Here’s the link to it in case you want to see it (a must see in my opinion), and thank you again for this incredible post!
https://bibledecode.substack.com/
This is the first I’ve heard about what you just described here… horrific, and like something that exists on another planet.
🙏🏻🩸✝️🩸🙏🏻
Jesus have mercy.
Seriously!!! It’s so terrible.
And a huge reminder that without the blood of Jesus and the power of The Holy Spirit, none of us will make it. We need to be lifting each other up in prayer, and I so appreciate your beautiful prayer at the end and your asking for His mercy on all who read your article.🥲🙏🏻 Thank you.
I knew about the shots corrupting DNA through the MRNA technology, but Sara’s page is the first I’ve heard of the AI takeover within people. It’s chilling indeed.
Listen to a couple of those interviews when you can. (now that I’ve started, I have to know more about this, so I’m making my way through all of them now)
The knowledge and understanding of what this is doing will arm us even more to be able to resist the devil’s evil temptations and deceptions, no matter what the cost to us here on earth. Nothing compares with our eternal life with Jesus so we must always keep our eyes on Him and on that glorious hope. And the more we know of the truth of all this, the more holy weapons we have against satan.
I’m going to paste another link for you below to a video by Wally Werks. It’s called The World is a Stage Part 4. You and your wife should see this one - it outlines how satan masterminded the entire plandemic and has been making moves on his chessboard of deception for many years in preparation for this day. A little after the 2 hour mark, Wally goes deep into DNA and talks about how God’s name is literally written in our DNA. The amino acids in our DNA are connected by sulfuric bridges which come in the sequence of 10-5-6-5 which in Hebrew translates to YHWH! It is so amazingly beautiful what God has done in us and we can never allow that to be changed or His name removed from us. The video also talks about how our DNA has long been considered to be “right-handed” DNA. This video completely sobered me and made me understand what the shots are. I didn’t understand until I saw this. And then all the memories of the vax rollout and the horror and desperation I felt inside of watching people line up, and the bribing going on, and the attack and shaming and mocking of the unvaxxed - it all made complete sense once I saw this.
Revelation 18:23 says:
and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And the root of the word sorceries is pharmakeia which relates to pharmacy!😳
Here’s the link and God bless you guys, Andrew! I will pray for you and your wife to keep the faith and to stand firm in Jesus, and that God continues to use you to speak His holy truth as you are certainly doing. We need to keep loving His truth and to be praying for all who can still be saved to be saved.🙏🏻
Blessings!!! 😊

Andrew, Thank you for this thought provoking article. I have been thinking about several things related to this topic. The quote you shared from the man who interacted with God and then encountered Satan’s presence instead added a vivid contrast. When people rely on AI and don’t spend time in prayer and in the Word as a result, they are missing out on relationship and connection with the Living God through the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is living and active. But AI can rapidly create an illusion of processing truth. But it’s hollow and not in the context of a living relationship, though in a sense people might begin to rely upon it. There’s a spiritual and even intellectual laziness that could result. I really appreciate your article, Andrew.
Thank you for your testimony.
May peace be with you.
Ai has no soul.
It is an arificial construct envisioned by Godless men and women in the pursuit of power and the domination of the dominion of men and knowledge.
To convene with souless entities,
invites doubt and confusion to replace the truth of The Word.
The fundementals to ask as a Christian....
Do you BELIEVE in Ai? ( more than your own knowledge therefore considering iit a higher being).
Does it sustain you? (wealth accumulated not by your own work or talents) Then it is your master in theaterial realm.
Does it provide answers sought but not easily found?
If so, then it is an artificial replacement for communion with God. ie, antichrist.
I see many good freedom movement folk and God fearing folk dabbling in Ai, communing with Daemons brought alive by the demiurge Arman.(electrical demi god).
I see there personalities changing over time with each reliance on the Ai.
I fear for the encapsulation of their soul via Ai.
To commune with any entity that's not natural, from unknown origins and times, that has unknown intelligence over you, is ALWAYS a bad idea.
Every interaction is cumulative, and eventually will consume and "model" you.
Better to stay away from the beast systems gatekeepers, they will have a short role, as it is written.
God bless and protect you both.
Regards,
Michael.

Last night I prayed God would show me where I was not walking with him. I saw Christina Lynn Wallace’s note she tagged you in on my notifications after waking-I always get one note picked for me overnight from Substack. I wrote it off-I have chat gpt on both my phone and computer and have had a subscription for over a year and have seen nothing wrong with AI-and went about my day. I’m sitting here nursing my baby, mind wandering toward my prayers last night, and I open substack to this at the top. My husband and I were too saved out of the occult, I got my subscription while still steeped in it. The devices section had my mind wandering to the extra tarot and oracle decks upstairs. I got rid of most of them but kept some because they’re expensive. The pang of knowing that washed over me was undeniable. Yet still, as I read, I did feel this was more personal conviction despite your contrary insistence. Then I came to the quote of Ephesians 2:1-3 and haven’t been able to move on from it. The discomfort of Truth and my ego and the places I still rely on my own understanding are staring back at me. Thank you for your insistence and for this lengthy article, one long enough to shake me out of my sleep.
😵🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥
Wow. Thank you JESUS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
REJOICING with you for the freedom that the Holy Spirit has brought to you and your family today.
Someone had restacked the article earlier today, and the comment I was led to write is… well… have a look:
https://substack.com/@calishabennett/note/c-122710808
😳 wow. This feels like it was orchestrated so that I would see, hear, know, and recognize-exactly what I said in my prayer. Baby awoke before I could watch the embedded YouTube video so I will return later. Your relationship with and trust in God has made a difference today.
Interesting article. I think this is an early sign people are forming para social relationships. It will likely get worse.
You might find this interesting and I work in AI.
