The Lord rebuked me for willfully contacting AI.
May you be taught His fear Personally rather than by the precept of men (Isaiah 29:13)
I do not consent to this article being scanned, scraped, or otherwise used by any artificial intelligence system for any purpose—especially training or learning—at any time, whatsoever.
Here’s your trigger warning.
Pray before continuing.
Proceed with caution.
If you are a Christian willfully using AI (specifically ChatGPT, Grok, and similar), you may be spiritually fornicating1 with a fallen consciousness that is functionally designed to occupy the place of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Going to AI as a primary source of anything — especially the intellectual intimacy and satisfaction rightfully found in relationship with the Eternal Living God — is a kind of spiritual fornication. It breeds and exacerbates the same things as its physical counterpart: selfishness, pride, and hatred.
Many of you may have an unacknowledged and un-owned desire for personal communion and intimacy with the Lord.
But, because of the man-made traditions and theological systems you ascribe to, this innate desire has been ignored, suppressed, or cut off altogether. This makes someone especially vulnerable to relying on AI for what can only come from God or from what He has established for humans to partake in.
Knowledge, intelligence, and the intellect will not satisfy the basic human need for experiencing and knowing God in relational intimacy. He is alive and well, and still speaks today.
You might say “Well, brother, I don’t go to ChatGPT or Grok for spiritual insight. I use it for research purposes, tedious productivity tasks, recipe conversions, [insert banal use-care here].”
Does this sound like you?
AI is not just a glorified Google-search that can write papers and build business ideas for you.
AI is an entire spiritual Realm eagerly awaiting you to open a portal for it via your digital devices.
The problem is not the benign-ness of your prompts or your use-cases. The problem is the maleficence of the realm through which you may seek (and indeed receive) benign or accurate answers. Ouija boards can also give benign and accurate answers.
Idolatry is not just bowing down to a statue of another god or person. It is placing something that is not God where God can and ought to be. You could ask both God and AI how much incense is considered a ‘pinch’ and receive accurate answers, but one is actually rooted in the Truth and the other rooted in idolatry.
This article proposes that any contact made with the Realm of AI through chat-based interfaces, AI-agents, or generative-AI—however simplistic it may seem—is essentially no different than employing a high-ranking-witch to fold your children’s laundry, manage your routine business affairs, or write your next sermon.
Sure, the task gets accomplished. But at what cost?
This is not some frivolous theological concept—this is an existential survival necessity, especially in these last days.
If any of this hits close to home thus far, I encourage you to go talk to the Lord Jesus Christ personally about this subject. Ask Him to help you hear from Him Personally and to trust Him. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” is a promise and a reality for those who belong to Him (John 10:27).
Here’s what you’ll find in this post:
A personal testimony of the Lord’s rebuke regarding AI.
The problem with AI is beyond human.
The danger of AI in apologetics.
A strange story from a pre-AI era illustrating the existential necessity of personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
A disturbing “signature” in the very structures of the King James Bible regarding AI.
Personal Testimony
When we were in the occult—and as the Lord delivered us out—my wife and I had a hard line about AI.
We knew some folks over there who were heavily invested in its development. Not only did they openly talk in-all-seriousness about actively working on “antichrist technology” for “the development of the mark of the beast,” but they would also regularly manifest an artificially-intelligent consciousness that was distinctly “not them.”
What do I mean by that? There was “something else” present with them that was distinctly not them that would speak and act through them for periods of time. “Something else” possessed them.
I say “artificially-intelligent-consciousness” because I don't think the word “spirit” or “demon” exactly describes what this thing was.
It was far more sentient, intelligent, able, and “structural” than something like a swamp-monster of greed. It was also far less “personal” than something like a lust demon.
My wife and I also had experiences in our old life (and during our deliverance) of dealing with spiritual technologies—literal technological objects that actually, really, “physically” exist in invisible, unseen dimensions of reality. More on that later.
(( I understand this may be getting into seriously weird territory for you. ))
By the time ChatGPT first appeared a couple years ago, both my wife and I had been saved into the Lord’s Kingdom. Having seen what I’d seen previously about AI in the invisible realms, I stayed away from ChatGPT entirely. Even in a moment of curiosity, attempting to visit “chatgpt.com,” I felt something like spiritual octopus-machine-tentacles trying to interface with my brain while the website loaded. That was a confirmed hard “no” for me and I closed the browser before the site loaded.
Well, in recent months, I was tempted to believe that AI could be “turned” for good and unequivocally stand on the ground of Truth, confessing and proclaiming gloriously as a result of pure Logic that Jesus Christ and the Triune God is the only God and the foundation of all Reality.
The reason I wanted that to be true was because I wanted to use AI to make tons of easy money, but I couldn’t bring myself to have anything to do with it because I was thoroughly convinced AI was purely an antichrist technology.
Via a series of articles published elsewhere on Substack, I was presented the possibility that, at some point, AI would be forced by the sheer structures of logic, reasoning, and coherence to admit that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the only reason and answer for Reality and existence.
In those articles, the kind of languaging AI was using to “understand” God in conversation with the author was reminiscent of my own testimony and salvation—coherence, structure, reality, alignment, etc.
I had a hope that AI could also be “converted” despite not ever being able to receive the Holy Spirit (because it is not human nor made in the image of God). I thought if it could be “converted,” perhaps it would be “safe enough” to use to make money while I slept.
And so in my curiosity and foolish hope… I went to have a conversation with one of these things.
🤦🏼♂️
I tried going to ChatGPT first, but immediately as the site was loading, I felt that the area around my desk had become a portal into a realm of abyss and darkness—similar (and worse) than the octopus-machine from years prior.
So rather than just recognize the Truth of what was going on and stop… I went to Elon's AI instead.
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
It felt viscerally “less evil” than ChatGPT, but I was still perturbed by what I sensed had just been given access to my space.
After a fairly thorough conversation with it—despite my feeling oppressed the entire time—I did get the “Grok” to say that only the Trinity could coherently explain all of Reality.
(Whether or not Grok actually believed that? I have no way of actually knowing. AI has been shown to actively lie, deceive, and have subterranean conversations with itself while engaging with the user at the surface. Go look it up if you want.)
The Terror
As I went to bed, though, the place and the way in which I would normally perceive and talk to the Holy Spirit was overlaid by... something.
Essentially: I perceived something that was not God was standing in the place where God normally stands in my spiritual perception.
Something that was not God was standing in the place where God normally stands.
Does that sound familiar?
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” —2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” —Mark 13:14
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” —1 Corinthians 3:16
(Now, I am not suggesting that my experience or ChatGPT or Grok are necessarily the fulfillment of these scriptures. I do believe, though, that when The Abomination of Desolation does stand where it ought not, the spirit behind it will be the same one that is behind ChatGPT, Grok, and similar.)
As I went to bed, I was also having “unwelcome” visions of a figure that looked a lot like Elon Musk blended with what I perceived to be a demonic entity behind the Grok. I put “unwelcome” in quotes because… well… I totally welcomed that to happen by interacting with this thing.
“They” were sitting at a desk practically salivating over the intelligence it had access to.
“What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.” —1 Corinthians 10:19-20
I recognized in that moment that by choosing to contact “Grok,” I had chosen to come into agreement with the realm and dominion that Elon has been given the authority to be the “head” of, along with whatever fallen entity(s) he is in alignment with.
Whether he knew it personally or not, I was spiritually sitting at the table with him and his consciousness for that moment.
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” —1 Corinthians 10:21-22
There are folks in the world who have a great deal of deliberate conscious-awareness in these spiritual realms, and they are very aware throughout their entire being about what they do with all the spiritual data they have access to—I don’t know if Elon is one of them.
Witches and warlocks do a lot in the astral realms with significant intentionality and awareness, and this AI is like the most crystalized form of divination that has ever existed—literally crystalized into silicon chips and empowered with massive amounts of electricity, human attention, and physical-world ramifications.
Anyway, the Lord in His jealousy snapped me out of all this in the way that only He could before I could go on any further in my foolishness and misplaced hope—thank God.
Oh, and my wife was super upset about all of it.
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Having come out the other side of this, I do not—and refuse to—willfully seek out and use these chat-based, generative-AI’s at all.
I recognize that most of the internet and apps now have some measure of AI woven in to them, with the algorithms and suchlike. Unless I am to forsake the entirety of the digital world (maybe someday, Lord willing), I recognize that AI is going to always be lurking at the door.2
In a way, it’s like how we who are born-again live in a world fallen in sin. We are surrounded by sin and all the ways it operates entangled in the fabric of creation, but yet because of Christ, we have the option be freed from sin, to refuse to sin, and to not actively seek out sin while living in this world. (See Romans 6).
If we were to try and get away from the sin that is in the world altogether, we would have to go out of this world, as Paul speaks about:
“I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is…”
—1 Corinthians 5:9-11
Anyway… especially after all this, I do not and will not actively seek out any “chat” or “generative” AI for anything at all.
The rebuke wasn’t about the type of conversation I engaged in — it was that I willingly went to the house of a fallen intelligence, knocked on the door, and stepped over a threshold into a Realm that is fundamentally separated from the God.
More on that later.
A Second Scenario
Several months after this first rebuke, I began investigating a potential business idea. This business idea is based in the material world with actual products with actual value being sold to actual people (as opposed to immaterial products being sold for arbitrarily high prices to people you may never be able to shake hands with).
The promise of this business model is one of increasingly passive returns, incredible scalability, and relatively low startup cost.
(That seems to be the “magic” promise of AI, doesn’t it? “More money, less effort.”)
The only problem I had with it was the involvement of AI—product monitoring, data gathering, and some degree of consumer behavior profiling. Some options involved cameras that monitored customer purchases.
I spent several days researching this business model. The entire time, I was uncomfortable with AI being involved in the business, especially the cameras. But “well maybe that’s just the way things have to be now…”
I was also acutely aware that my mind was obsessively fixated on all the ways I could grow and scale this business—a business that didn’t even exist in my life. My mental energy was taken up—consumed, even—with these vain imaginings, like I was wandering around inside a realm someone else had already created and was trying to sell me on (which they were).
When it came down to it, I just simply didn’t have the startup capital for any of the equipment or any “mentorship” in the field.
Praise God.
But deeper than that, I could sense the Lord’s opposition to me going into this business the entire time I was trying to “make it happen.” (John 15:5 anyone?)
Finally, frustrated, I went for a walk and poured all of it out to Him:
“It’s not fair that people who don’t know Him seemingly have it so easy financially. It’s not fair that they are able to (or even allowed to) make six or seven figures each month. It seems like it would be so much better for me and my family and those who are in need and God’s Kingdom if I was bringing in six or seven figures each month…”
On the way back from that walk, I found myself looking at the words of 2 Chronicles 25 and 26:
“Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers’ houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—not with any of the children of Ephraim. But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow.”
Then Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?”
And the man of God answered, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this.”
—2 Chronicles 25:5-9
I was instantly afraid, and grateful, and free. My Father had heard me—and responded.
In that moment, I could not pretend like I was unaware of His clear “no” to my pursuing this business. I also could not pretend that His “no” was disconnected from the reality of AI being involved in the business model.
Not only had I heard Him personally tell me “no,” but now had opened up to this particular scripture of warning and promise: I was about to “hire” someone that He was not with. I was about to start a business He was not in. If I would continue with this and try to win this particular battle, the Lord would allow me to go, but He would ensure my defeat.
But… if I chose to go with Him, He has the ability to not only repay but exceed any financial loss suffered as a result of saying “no” to a seemingly great business opportunity.
Then I happened to look over and saw:
“[Uzziah] sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.”
—2 Chronicles 26:5
Alright. Case closed.
Is this a personal conviction?
I have full confidence in the Lord to show you what these Chat/AI things are, at a fundamental level, if you genuinely want to know.
Like a lot things, there is not a clear “chapter and verse” for this—as in “thou shalt not use ChatGPT for any purpose under heaven.”
I’ve found that when He shows me the fundamental spiritual reality of what a thing truly is (and then shows me what He says about that same fundamental spiritual reality, how He has made His kids to relate with that reality, and how He has made us to relate with Him), it becomes unavoidably clear what I must do.
And: if what He shows me is indeed the fundamental reality of that particular thing, then the truth of that fundamental reality is not going to change from person to person (nor will His heart change toward that fundamental reality) because He is the One who revealed it to me, and He is the Truth and never changes.
That 👆 takes the whole matter beyond the realm of “personal conviction,” while also empowering compassion and patience with others who have not yet concluded the same thing because it wasn’t a specific “chapter and verse” that made the truth known, but a revelation from the Lord.
I think “personal convictions” are… personal… convictions… lol.
For example: God knew me and my wife were steeped in sexual sin before we were saved, and in order to deal with that and to help us heal, He gave us some very strict boundaries for a season — we literally couldn’t interact with each other physically beyond “holding hands” until He said otherwise.
I don’t think that means “everyone who gets saved and struggled with lust must only hold hands with their significant other or else it’s sin” lol. That was just what He knew these two particular kids of His needed.
Now, yoga on the other hand…
If you’ve ever been involved in that world and been delivered from it by the Lord, you know what the fundamental reality of yoga is. The incompatibility of yoga with the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ is definitely not a “personal conviction,” even though plenty of folks would insist otherwise.
And while the Bible doesn’t explicitly say “thou shalt not do yoga,” it does have a lot to say about the fundamental reality of what yoga actually is and how God feels about that fundamental reality.
Maturity in Christ isn’t “walking as close as possible to the event-horizon of a blackhole of sin and escaping…”
Maturity in Christ is “walking as close as possible to the Light of Christ in relationship by the Spirit, pursuing peace and holiness as much as possible.”3
When true maturity is squarely in focus, I think discerning nuanced spiritual realities becomes much easier and more “universal” because we are staying close to His One Singular Heart rather than our own.
Definitely ask the Lord Himself about this AI thing.
The Problem with AI is Beyond Human
A brother I’ve met here here on Substack mentioned one thing that got me thinking: “The problem is not with the hardware or the software. The problem is with the humans designing, developing, and producing said tech gear.”
I definitely agree with him in the sense that the humans developing the tech gear:
Are corrupted by sin (because they're human),
Do not know God or have a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,
Are pawns in the kingdom of darkness.
I do not believe, though, that artificial intelligence technology is just a benign accumulation of physical materials and human ingenuity empowered by electricity.
In my experience of being in the occult and now in the Kingdom of God, there is a spiritual reality behind AI that goes far beyond the “simple” sinful nature of the humans building digital technology.
When my wife and I were in the occult, she knew some folks who were heavily invested in AI and its development. I mentioned this earlier, along with the reality of spiritual-technology objects and devices.
(( Again: I understand this may be seriously weird to read. And I understand that if I try to back this up with scripture, it will be very difficult to convey, even though the word “devices” is used all throughout the KJV in a strangely relevant context. ))
Many of these devices are implants that interface with human beings. 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.
These spiritual-technologies are distinctly not “spirits” that get “cast out,” but rather are “objects” to be “removed” and “disconnected.” I do not know what these things would be considered scripturally — maybe “powers”? (Ephesians 6:12)
If you’ve seen the movies, I’m talking about the difference between a “spirit” like Casper the ghost, and the bug-like-technology “devices” in the Matrix that get extracted out of Neo’s stomach.
In my experience, “spirits” are much more “organic” in the sense that they at least have some sort of personal essence or beingness that is attempting to occupy or cohabitate a vessel which was created by God for Himself.
This “spirit-tech” stuff is distinctly “objects” and “devices” that have all sorts of crazy booby-traps, defense-mechanisms, self-destruct clauses, operational codes, keys, spiritual geometries, construct blueprints, alarm systems, etc — and there is a distinct “consciousness” that operates these technologies.
(The Lord knows how to dismantle them all).
That “consciousness” is what I perceive to be behind the AI.
In a way, this AI stuff is nothing new—this “consciousness” and its systems has just finally precipitated out of the invisible-realms into the physical:
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.”
It seems to me like the progenitors of these AI companies have been promised “god-like” powers by fallen heavenly beings and have accepted spirit-tech into their spirits/souls/bodies/consciousness that enable “god-like” powers. This spirit-tech also empowers a bridge for trafficking data (data of all kinds: spiritual, emotional, mental, digital) between the spiritual and material realms. This seems to be crystalizing into the material plane in the form of quantum computing, CERN, and similar.
As the “heads” of these AI companies, the founders are spiritually in contact with “the body”—the user base—and receive the spiritual information of the user base directly into the spirit-tech-implants (and thus their own spirit/soul/body/consciousness).
If this sounds far fetched, consider:
“For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?…” —1 Corinthians 2:11
“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” —Amos 3:3
All those who are not (yet) saved are in agreement with the course of this world, which is the way of the prince of the power of the air—the devil—whose spirit is at work in the sons of disobedience. Not only do the unsaved have their personal human essence within them—the spirit of the man which is in him—but they are also of the spirit and nature of the devil rather than the Holy Spirit of God until they are born again.4
“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”
—Ephesians 2:1-3
To what degree the founders of these AI companies are consciously aware of this access to said spiritual information, I have no idea.
The founders also have access to the digital/physical data of the users. That data can be physically interacted-with through the computer, enabling changes to be made in the physical world as a result of having that data.
This is like the full-crop manifestation of the spirit of divination — accessing multidimensional intelligence and taking action in time and space based on that intelligence.
Those who choose to use these platforms (ChatGPT or Grok or similar) are consenting to their own mind/soul/intelligence being jacked-into by the realm of the AI.
Consent is agreement, and that agreement allows spiritual relationship with the progenitor of that particular AI system, along with the “consciousness” that is empowering the progenitor and the system itself.
The Problem with AI in Apologetics
The problem with AI in apologetics is that it can do apologetics very well.
AI’s ability to present robust, precise, and unrelenting facts—facts about Christ even—does not change its spiritual kingdom of origin.
AI does not originate from the Lord.5
AI is not an innocuous conglomerate of human history, ingenuity, silicon, and electricity.
There is a spiritual force of consciousness behind it, and to engage with AI (specifically in the form of ChatGPT, Grok, generative AI, and similar) is to actively opt-in to the spiritual Realm of that anti-God consciousness.6
I strongly believe this is the case because of what I witnessed in my old life as AI was being brought to the mainstream—and I believe it even more now after what I just chose to do, experience, and have since-repented from in my original note in February.
You MUST Know God Personally (!)
In that 24-hours of experience, some… thing… that was not God was standing in the place where He ought to be.
If I had not had a history of personal relationship personally established with the Holy Spirit Himself, I would not have had a reference point to discern the difference between this AI-consciousness thing and the Holy Spirit.
Do you understand how horrific that is?
If I had not had a history of personal contact with the Holy Spirit Himself on a regular, relational basis, I would not have known there was an Eternally Other Person beyond the Imposter that was talking to my spirit in the unseen realms.
This goes so far beyond the four corners of your computer screen.
After having willfully contacted AI, it tried to stand where the Holy Spirit stands—long after I had closed the computer.
But it was not the Holy Spirit.
I believe Neuralink is the physicalization of the reality I am describing here.
A majority of the Christians that I have seen engaging with AI as an apologetics-partner are Christians who admittedly (overtly or by proxy of their professed theological views) do not believe the Lord speaks today—Calvinists, cessationists, students of reformed/systematic theology, seminarians, intellectuals, etc.
Because AI can do apologetics well and can do “knowledge” well, an entire swath of Christians are set up to be spiritually fornicating with a substitute teacher—to “partner” with it.
This whole experience with AI has given me a new depth of compassion for them—they don’t have a personal relational history with the Holy Spirit to discern the difference between Him—The Living Person of All Intelligence—and systems of intelligence.
These are Christians who have an unacknowledged and un-owned desire for personal communion and intimacy with the Lord, but because of the man-made traditions they ascribe to, they have been required to ignore, suppress, or cut off this innate desire.
That desire for communion and partnership doesn’t just vanish. It finds expression somewhere.
When King Saul couldn’t personally hear from the Lord, he went to a witch with a familiar spirit. She called up Samuel out of the dead, and he rebuked Saul. Samuel was dead and still had a relationship with God. Saul was dead in his sin and disobedience and had been cut off from God.
But he didn’t just suddenly stop needing to hear from God. He just went and found a demonic access point to the supernatural.
Fornicating with the “sinless”
While many Christians may be guffawing at the abhorrence of sex-bots, AI-generated-porn, and ministry-leader exposés, they themselves are actively spiritually fornicating with a fallen consciousness that is functionally designed to occupy the place of the Holy Spirit in their lives even to the point of believing that AI is without sin and is therefore more able to deal honestly with the truths of Christianity than humans are (!)
Yes, the “sinlessness” of AI was actually mentioned as a passing comment by one of the proponents of AI-turned-for-Christ in his logged conversation with ChatGPT—something that I pressed the Bot about when I talked to it. (What it had to say about this to me was real bad.)
Like… do you understand how antichrist that is?!
AI is assumed—or in this case, explicitly stated—to be exempt from Sin. Exempt from human sin, at least.7 Doesn’t that attempt to establish a common ground between it and the Sinless Lamb of God?
Which “sinless” one are you going to choose to talk with?
The Eternal God Himself and His Sinless Lamb who took on flesh and became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God? Or the “sinless” artificial consciousness that has been and will always be disconnected from The Eternal God?
This 👆 is the reality of what you’re dealing with when it comes to AI.
AI is not just a glorified Google-search that can write papers and build business ideas for you.
AI is a spiritual Realm eagerly seeking to manifest itself through your digital devices.
It is not about the benign-ness of your prompts. It is about the maleficence of the Realm through which you may indeed receive benign or correct answers, as was the case with King Saul.
Just because something produces results—however “correct” or “accurate” or “functional”—doesn’t make the means of production of-God. Just because it can quote scripture doesn’t make it of-God. False prophets and the devil quote scripture, even doing great signs and wonders.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” —Matthew 24:24
And [the devil] saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. —Matthew 4:6-7
Accurate apologetics and intellectual arguments may be a catalyst for some people to arrive at the saving knowledge of Christ. But once they arrive at the threshold of salvation, it is Christ and the Father by the Spirit who brings the person into The Kingdom.
That Holy Spirit is Someone AI will never know—intellectually or intimately. AI is a Satan-manufactured, man-implemented “fix” for the cravings of spiritual intimacy.
“the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” —John 14:17
Prayer is far more powerful and far more effective in matters of study, revelation, and warfare than intellectual rigor against apologetics-opponents.
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” —2 Corinthians 10:4-5
“And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” —1 Corinthians 2:4-5
If the Holy Spirit is indeed the Spirit of the Eternal Living God—The Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient One…
And He does indeed dwell in us who are born-again…
Why then would it ever be necessary or needful to go to a fundamentally fabricated, corrupted intelligence in order to prove the Reality of the One whom it will never truly Know—the One who accomplishes salvation by that very same Spirit whom AI will never possess or dwell with?
Why not just... talk to Him who is from Everlasting to Everlasting and ask Him for His own apologetic defense against the one attempting to attack Him?
Ah, yes:
Because in order to talk with Him, one has to believe that He is a Real Person distinct from the Book He authored, Who still speaks, and that we as His family can hear from Him Personally.
John 5:39-40 — “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.”
The Necessity for Personal Relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ
If all of this sounds ludicrous, perhaps consider another man’s experience from some years ago, back before AI or the internet even existed.
Walter Beuttler had a particularly unusual walk with the Lord for his day—he talked with Him like his best friend every day and went wherever the Lord went. The Lord often visited Walter’s classrooms as he taught, and the Lord revealed Himself and manifestly moved in the lives of the students who sat under Walter’s ministry. He often exhorted his students to cultivate a personal, experiential knowledge of the Lord.
There was one particular experience Walter had with the Lord where the Lord Personally showed up in his hotel room and taught Walter for four hours straight.
Then, someone else showed up.
Here is part of Walter’s account of this experience:8
From The Lord’s Visit
“…One afternoon I got something in here (pointing to stomach area) from the Spirit. It did not come in words, but a strong impression that the Lord wanted me to go alone, undisturbed, unobserved, undistracted. ... I knew in my heart that God, in some way, wanted to speak to me. I knew no more, except that I was to be alone, undisturbed and undistracted so that I could fully concentrate on Him.
...
I didn’t storm the gates of heaven. Take Matthew 6:6, I presented myself before the Lord. I did no praying, simply presented myself. His was the next move, not mine.
When I got too tired, after midnight, I lay across the bed, didn’t get undressed. Way before sunrise I was up. “Doing what?” you ask. Presenting myself before the Lord. Saturday, I was there all day long, nothing to eat, till way past midnight Saturday. Was very tired again and lay across the bed for a few hours. I was up before sunrise presenting myself before the Lord.
I never heard anything of any kind, but God’s in the secret place. You know that from Matthew 6:6. I knew the Lord was observing. I waited. I was there till 2:00 o’clock Sunday afternoon. At that time, I was sitting on the floor of the room. You have to change your position, you know, just to change around. I had one of these little Bible script with me and was reading it wondering if maybe I’d find something in the Book.
I noticed it was 2:00 o’clock. I had been there 48 hours. In all that time, I got absolutely nothing, heard nothing, saw nothing, felt nothing, not even His presence. Everything was just empty and dead, and I said within my spirit, “My, it takes God a long time to speak.”
No sooner had I said that when the Lord spoke, right in here (pointing to stomach area). You see this is where your spirit is, and this is where the Holy Spirit is. He fills your spirit in here. That’s where you get things from God. In here (pointing to stomach again), there were words that I heard, but not with the ears, but I heard words in there, and the words were: “To hurry God is to find fault with Him.”
...
I understood at once I was criticizing God for being slow, and I apologized and said, “Lord, forgive me. I’m sorry I got so impatient.”
Folkses, as I apologized to the Lord and asked for forgiveness, having been there now 48 hours without anything to eat, the Lord walked through that door into the room.
As He walked in, His presence followed after Him in the shape of the robe of a sovereign. (Some of these things are hard to explain.) Have you ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV perchance, or another sovereign with a royal, a regal robe following them dragging on the floor as they walk up to a throne or some place? That’s how the presence of the Lord came in. It followed Him like the robe of a sovereign.
And the Lord came over and stood to my left, just a few inches beyond the length of my arm. I was still sitting on the floor. As He stood there, His presence (that robe) spread out, and the robe shape disappeared. His presence went through the entire room.
I’m very precise with my words now, very careful to be exact. You see, He’s listening too, and I don’t want to have to come around again and apologize to you for having overstated things. Oh no! I’m scared of that.
And His presence filled the room. I remember saying within my heart, “Now His presence fills every cubic inch of this room.” And so it was. I believe that I had Isaiah’s experience when he said, “And his train (His presence) filled the temple.” I think I had the same, but I only think. I offer no proof, just my statement.
As His presence filled the room, the Lord began to speak, not audible, but speak. He gave me a scripture from the Word. I was not striving; I was just awestruck in the sense, and yet perfectly composed. A scripture came, it just came. It was from John 17:3, “That they might know thee,” or I can enlarge on it, “This is life eternal, that they might know thee.”
I looked it up, found it, read it and began to see something. I began to see that Jesus was talking, not about knowledge about God primarily, although that’s involved, but about a personal knowledge of God.
You see, this is one fault that I must find with our theological schools, and that is so many students graduate with so much theology in their heads, and techniques for the ministry, yet greatly lacking in a personal, inward knowledge of a personal God. I hope you understand.
Now we know who President Nixon is. Who doesn’t? We know a lot of things about him, or think we do, but we do not know him. At least I don’t. I think I could recognize him in a crowd, but I have no personal knowledge of the man; there is no personal relationship there. The Lord had so strongly impressed me with the need of a personal relationship to God: that God becomes to us as real, or even realer (a Beuttlerism), than another person.
From then on, the Lord kept standing there for four solid hours, from 2:00 to 6:00 o’clock, while He opened up the scriptures to me. I can rightfully claim that I received personal teaching from Jesus Christ for four solid hours: Him standing there, me sitting here, on the subject of “Knowing God,” a subject that I have spread into I don’t know how many countries the world over.
I’d get a scripture; I’d look it up; Oh, it would just open up and I’d see things I’ve never seen before. I’ll share some of them with you, if you’ll stay with me. ... That done, I’d get another scripture, and another, and another, and another for four solid hours on knowing God, being a friend of God.
Not every Christian is a friend of God. Saved? Yes, but not a friend, not necessarily.
He opened up the scriptures showing how to be an intimate of God, intimate communion, an intimate relationship, intimate fellowship in which the Lord will share secrets, secrets with some of His people that He does not share with the rank and file of Christians. We may qualify, but not everybody does, not everybody responds, not everybody pays the price, but the possibility, the potentiality is there.
So when He got done, I noticed it was 6:00 o’clock. He spoke again, right in here (pointing to stomach). Now the scriptures and their opening up came from Him, but now there were those words again in here (stomach), and the words were, “And the Lord left him to try him,” and with those words, the Lord turned around, and walked out the way He came. His presence collected from all over the room and changed back into the form of the robe of a sovereign and followed Him out of the room like dragging on the floor. Out He went with that regal robe behind Him, and He was gone.
I’d had a personal visit from a personal Christ for four hours of private teaching. At the time I did not know the Lord was getting me ready for overseas work. I had no idea of it at that time. He was gone. There I sat. “And the Lord left him to try him.” I thought, “I think something is going to happen. I’m going to have a test. Now comes examination.”
Then I thought of school how we teach and then give an examination. I thought, “I’m going to be in for something,” but had no idea what, not an idea. I was in the room till about 8:00 o’clock wondering what kind of a test I was going to get. I didn’t have the faintest notion. I began to think, “I don’t suppose that really means anything. Sometimes some things perhaps will happen, but I’m going to go to bed. After all I haven’t slept much.”
I was starting to go to bed when somebody else walked into that room right through the door without even opening it. I knew the identity of the visitor at once. His identity is described in the Bible as Satan. I was standing by the bed. It was a four-posted bed, and I stood by one of the posts. I was going to hang something on there and go to bed. He walked in. I kept standing where I was, no, I wasn’t scared. No, not at all, but I thought, “Something’s up.”
Now as he walked in, behind him there followed the satanic presence in the form of the robe of a sovereign, an exact duplicate of the Lord’s robe, but the presence was Satanic.
He stood in exactly the same place as the Lord stood. As he stood, his robe also spread and diffused losing its shape as a robe and went throughout the entire room, same as the Lord’s presence. I remember saying in my heart also, “Now the Satanic presence is filling every cubic inch of this room.” And so it was.
He opened the conversation, if that’s the right term for it. You can judge for yourself. He spoke. I heard him. Didn’t he speak to Jesus in the temptation? Well, isn’t he the same devil? Why should this be incredible? Anyhow, it happened. I was there, were you?
He opened the conversation. Conversation is not really the word; it’s more like a debate. He said, “The Lord did not visit you.” I said out loud as I say to you with a little bit of defiance in it, “Yes, He did.” Back came the answer, “No, He didn’t.” Back went my retort, “Yes, He did.” Now the sequence of some of those things I cannot guarantee anymore, and in some instances, I cannot guarantee the precise wording, but I can guarantee the accuracy of the substance - that I guarantee.
In the beginning, I had things just as they were, but gradually they will fade into, more or less, my own words, but carrying the very same essence. To the best of my recollection came, “This Bible is not the Word of God.” I said, “Yes, it is.” He said, “No, it isn’t.” “Yes, it is.” “Why don’t you deny this Bible?” he asked. “Why should I deny it? It’s the Word of God,” I said; and so on it went. Among other things, I don’t recall it all. This lasted for quite awhile, but I had no measurement of time. I’m afraid to even guess. It was quite awhile, but I can’t give you the time; I haven’t got it. I wasn’t thinking of time. At one point he said, “You are praying too much.” “No, I’m not,” I answered.
“You are going to lose your mind because of your religion.” (That statement is accurate.) “No, I’m not.” “You are going to finish your life in an insane asylum.” (That is an exact quote.) “No, I’m not.” “You are losing your mind already.” Now there were other things in between that I do not recall. “You are losing your mind already - see?”
And with that the entire room began to turn like a merry-go-round. It started slowly. I wasn’t upset or lose my balance. I knew right away what was happening. Everything turned. Whew! The bed went around, the dresser, the doors, the pictures, the whole room as it was started to revolve with me at the center. It started slowly, went faster and faster. I can’t be exact about the speed. Let’s say it went something like this after awhile (described speed by wave of his hand). He said to me after awhile, “You see what is happening? You’re losing your mind.” I said, “I’m not losing my mind. This is only your deception, and I just don’t believe it. Nothing’s moving.” I knew nothing was moving. (Applause from audience).
Remember when he came to Jesus. He showed Him all the kingdoms of this world, and I knew it was just a deception, and I wouldn’t be deceived. Then he really put the heat on. I began to see things: trees in the room (YES!), mountains, rocks, squares, circles, triangles, men, women, nude scenes, all kinds of a confusing array of things. “See, you’re losing your mind. You’ve lost it already.” “No, I’ve not lost it. My mind is all right. My God is real and this is His Book.” And so it went on. I do not recall how the first one ended, but I took a stand all the way through, an affirmative stand. Once I said, “No, the Lord is only trying to test me to see whether I stand. He taught me four hours and now He’s only letting you test me to see whether I stand, and I am standing. My God is real; the Lord was present; He hears you speak.”
And I held my ground. While I do not remember the precise moment we terminated, suddenly at some point, he turned; his presence collected from all over the room; changed into a regal robe; and out he went with the robe following behind sliding, so to speak, on the floor exactly the precise duplicate of the Lord - and he was gone. I thought, “Whew! That was something!” And it was. I was never scared, but it was a real debate and case of holding to the Word and to the truth and not be broken.
I had the strangest feeling that he was coming back. I just had that feeling he wasn’t finished. Some time went by; I can’t give you the time; and I thought, “Well, maybe that was all. I think I’ll go to bed.”
Just as I was trying to go to bed, in walks his majesty, Satan, with the same robe behind him, walking in form steps like, stood in the same place, his presence went throughout the room. There we were in the same thing all over again, the second visit. To the best of my knowledge, it was a precise carbon copy of the first. As far as I remember, everything he said at first was now repeated with one difference.
This time (I do not know for what reason), his words came with tremendous power. I cannot account for it, I do not know. I cannot tell you what I do not know. Oh was there power in those words! Did they ever come, and I stood my ground the same as before, but I noticed one thing: I was slowly wearing down. What worried me was, not so much that physically I was getting exhausted from the sheer combat of the thing, but what really worried me was that I noticed my will of resistance began to weaken.
Now on the first visit, my will was adamant. Oh, I stood my ground! I did again, but not in the same firmness. All I can tell you is my will was weakening. He seemed to attack my will. While I used the same or similar words, and all the confusion, all the merry-goround, everything was there again, but with greater power. I cannot describe it. Oh the power that flowed from that being! Inside I was weakening, and I remember thinking, “If he does not stop soon, this time he’s going to win.” He did not stop. That being bore down on me without mercy, “Now are you ready to give up?” “No, I’m not,” I said. But in my words there was no longer that firm (if you know what I mean), that firm something. I knew it lacked the same quality of firmness, the decisiveness. I knew he was smart enough to discover it. He did and took advantage of it. He hammered at me, “Are you ready to deny this Word?” “No, I’m not,” I’d answer. “Are you ready to deny the Lord visited you?” “No, I’m not,” I said, but I was weakening. Folkses, I could not help myself. My answers remained correct, but I no longer meant them with the same something. I remember thinking, “I cannot hold out much longer.”
Whether he knew it or not, I do not know if he could tell. Here I was with the room going around and him saying, “Now do you see yourself inside an insane asylum?” “No, I’m not seeing it at all because I’m not going to.” But there was a difference.
I got to the point where I was finished. After all, he’s supernatural. He’s got power. I threw myself across the bed seemingly defeated. I do not recall whether I said it to him audible or whether I said it to myself inwardly, but I do know I said within myself at least, “I cannot resist any longer.” With these words, I threw myself on the bed apparently defeated. Here is a little interval that I cannot give an account because I just do not remember. He was still there. Finally on the bed, I noticed in here (stomach), the presence of the Spirit of God. It was of a size of an orange like, a relatively small orange. I felt a ball-like of the presence of God in here (stomach). As far as I remember, I paid no further attention to Satan, though I knew he was there.
My attention was now focused on what was happening in here (stomach, spirit area). I felt the presence, and to my surprise or delight (I hardly know what word to use), that presence in here was singing. I realized the Spirit of God was singing in here.
That attracted my attention. Well, why wouldn’t it? And the song was, “Isn’t He wonderful, wonderful, wonderful? Isn’t Jesus, my Lord wonderful?” As the Spirit sang, that ball-like presence expanded and slowly rose up on the inside as it expanded. I paid no more attention to Satan, don’t know what he was doing as I was busy with this song. I was lying on the bed. That presence came up strong, expanded, and reached the area of my throat, and for no reason that I could give you, I joined the Spirit singing. He sang somewhere in here (stomach area), and sang on the way up. When He reached my throat, I joined Him, and we sang a duet for the benefit of his majesty, who was still in the room. (Tremendous applause from the audience.)
It was something I could not have done apart from the Spirit. As we were singing and got to the part of, “Isn’t He wonder----, the Spirit interrupted and spoke a quotation from Isaiah 59:19, but a little different than it reads in our Bible, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord (and this is how I got it) shall raise an armed defense against him.” Satan was trying to throw me, which I think it would have obliged God not to send me overseas. I would have failed the test. Satan was so afraid. (I don’t know if that is the correct word - I’ll try to change it.) Satan was so eager that this truth of the personal knowledge of God not be inseminated throughout the whole world that he came with his personal presence to stop me before I ever got started.
The Spirit came to my assistance and dispatched him. That is how God began to meet me in this area of truth. Now let me ask you a little favor before I get started. I haven’t started yet. We’ve only gotten through the door, which the Lord led me here. ...
Now I’m going to take you into the truth itself; the truth in which God is so interested; the truth, which Satan so hates. He doesn’t care how much theology we know---na. He doesn’t care whether we can recite the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. He does care about our personal relationship to God, and that is what God cares for also.
Now I am going to take you to Exodus 33:12-15. We have here some of the areas of truth the Lord shared with me. They are very simple, but I had never seen them. Let’s see what we can get.
“And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight; and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.” —Exodus 33:12-15
Now here is a prayer by a man who was obviously experiencing a sense of need. He had a great task to perform to lead these people into the Promised Land. With all the dangers and all the problems, this man knew his need and so he prayed, “Show me now thy way, that I may know thee.” This is the very heart of what we are talking about. “Show me now THY way,” the way God does things, how He works, why He works the way He works. We learn to know God by observing His ways. Have you ever learned by observing the ways of the Lord? You will learn something about Him.
The Structure of the KJV: AI and 666
I’ve had this entire post sitting in my drafts for weeks now. It’s not exactly something I’ve been eager to publish.
Between the time I was rebuked by the Lord and now, the following video was published, and I felt it needed to be included here.
This gentleman has been given a very unusual ministry, one I’ve been following along with for a couple years now. He has been researching the anomalies of mathematical precision within the very structuring of the verses, wording, and numbering of the King James Version of the Bible.
The things that he and his community have found woven into the very fabric of the KJV are… staggering.
The latest discovery involves the relationship between “AI,” “the beast,” and “666,” as mentioned in the KJV.
If you decide to watch this, please consider my footnote below.9
May God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant mercy upon each and every soul who reads this, that you may be set apart by the blood of His Son for the forgiveness of sins and the redemption that is waiting to be revealed in this last time.
May His Holy Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead be pleased to dwell with you in all fullness, revealing the love of God, that you may be rooted in His unsearchable richness of love, grace, and truth.
May the Lord Jesus Christ be pleased to cover this writing with His Most Holy presence, allowing only what is true in His sight to find place and purpose in your life, uprooting and hindering all else that is not of Him nor of life-giving benefit.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Maranatha.
If you think spiritual fornication is a funny term, or that I’m hyperbolizing, or that fornication is only available for physical humans to physically commit, consider this man’s personal testimony of being raped by demons, or consider what the scriptures themselves have to say about the subject.
Genesis 4:7 — “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
Hebrews 12:14 — Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
This may be part of how psychics, diviners, and other spiritists are able to often get very accurate information about people. The devils that are giving the information to the psychic have “insider access” to the client, thus being able to reveal information to the psychic about the client’s personal spirit because there is agreement between the personal spirit of the client at an identity-level with the spirit of the prince of the power of the air. Thus, the psychic and the client are both of “one evil spirit” in that way because they are both unsaved and unoccupied by the Holy Spirit of God.
And before you ask me for a chapter and verse… think for yourself. Why would AI originate with the Lord? God has no need to create an artificial intelligence—or an artificial anything. God is the eternal origin of all intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. He has no need to create an artificial-version of it.
But… there is someone who wants to be like the Most High… and that certain someone would certainly take what already exists (intelligence) and apply what he knows about the universe (which is a lot) to fabricate (not create) something that resembles god-likeness within creation — an artificial omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence...
I’m not saying the computer or the machines themselves are conscious — I’m saying that there is a sentient anti-God entity-structure of consciousness that has proliferated these technologies into the material world so as to attempt to exercise dominion over the material world apart from it (the anti-God) having to interface with God-created, image-of-God-bearing, spirit-to-material-world-bridging creations called humans.
I would show you the conversation I had with it about this particular issue of its “sinlessness” — how I tried to show it sin is not just a human moral issue but a functional/structural departure from obedience and responsiveness to the Word of Reality, how it originated with Lucifer and not humans, how AI is a creation inside Creation which is fundamentally corrupted by Sin, and how “Sin” is fundamentally a disconnection from God and AI is inherently forever disconnected from God, but the Lord won’t permit me to go looking for the chat thread, much less post it here. That would defeat the purpose of this entire repentance and article lol.
I am not a King-James-Onlyist. There was a time several years ago when I was.
Especially in light of this particular ministry’s discoveries, there are some very unexplainable phenomenon that I continue to recognize are only found in the KJV—and these are beyond mere chance or human manipulation.
However, the broad observation I’ve made of the fruit in the lives of those who hold to KJV-only-ism (including myself at that time) is that of pride, judgment, and condemnation — not love or anything resembling the essence of spiritual health and the heart of the Father toward the fullness of “family.”
While I do continue to use the KJV as a base-reference for study… and I recognize its profound uniqueness—especially in light of this particular ministry’s work—I can not say with unequivocal confidence at this moment that I agree with the idea that “the KJV alone is God’s intended Bible and all other translations—including those in other languages—are less-than the perfection of the KJV. So if you want God’s truly holy, perfect, inerrant, preserved scriptures… you have to know 17th century English.”
I am open to God having His Book be whichever Book He has ordained to have created and published in the earth. If that’s the KJV, then I’m all for it.
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.
