| “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.” ps 27:13 nkjv |
July 11, 2023 “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” gen 15:6 nkjv... This verse is said to be a defining moment in the relationship between Abraham and Yahweh. Frankly, if you don’t study the context of the verse, you will not grasp full understanding of the affect that Abraham’s decision “to believe” can have on our own thinking. The writer of Hebrews says of faith, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” heb 11:1 nkjv... And the Apostle Paul says, “while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2cor 4:18 nkjv… there is then both a seen and unseen realm. When Paul spoke these words to the Corinthians, he was talking of perseverance and faithfulness through very trying and difficult times… and that present evil conditions can not occupy our thinking as the “end result.” He said, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory…” 2 cor 4:16-17 nkjv I am convinced that we believers are able to “believe” because Yahweh “said so.” He chose us before we even understood how to choose Him. The Bible says He imparts to each of us a measure of faith. Rom 12:3 nkjv… Paul says Yahweh predestined us for His purpose and own plan… rom 8:29, 8:30, eph 1:5, 1:11. Paul also prefaces Rom 12:3 with: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” rom 12:2 nkjv... Keep the thought that your mind is the center of your intelligence, it will make sense later. Though we are now mortal beings, created in Yahweh’s image, we are “god men” destined for eternal immortality. We are not to be absorbed into this world of Babylonian paganism. When Yeshua prayed to the Father to sanctify us with Truth, (thy Word is Truth) jn 17:17… He was saying, my paraphrase, separate my sheep from the devil and his minions. Until Yeshua returns, we will be increasingly engulfed in a mis-information storm that is reaching destructive levels; the great deception of Biblical foretelling is upon us… a mixture of part-fact, half-truth, lies, fantasies, distortions, lifestyle aberrations, distractions, temptations of all kinds; and spiritual powers at work that continually probe our thinking to find a way to nullify Romans 12:2 and pollute John 17:17 above. Dr Gavin Finley says that all spiritual warfare is an information war. The mind base battle field is complicated, and it is about to become much more confusing… enter artificial intelligence. It is artificial because it lacks human life. It stands alone in the cold darkness of lifeless paganism… both without Yahweh. Both opposed to all that truth and faith (to believe Yahweh as did Abraham) represent. Paul said, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” rom 8:35 nkjv... notice all these are our of our control, they are totally in Yahweh’s realm of cause and effect… we look to Him for our fate in these issues. Paul goes on to say… “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” rom 8:38-39 nkjv Included in these conditions, forces and powers to “separate us from the love of Yahweh,” is the “any other created thing,” issue. As I read the Greek definition of this “created thing” item, it can apply to both God made and man made things. The enemy of mankind is Satan, and he only has the God created (or man created, by Yahweh’s leave) tools in the game, as he is not a creator. He is a distorter of Yahweh’s creation and uses that role as an attack weapon. I believe “intelligence” is a Yahweh created thing… and that genuine human intelligence includes life to function: consider the dictionary meaning of intelligence: 1) According to “britannica.com” [dictionary]: human intelligence, is a mental quality that consists of the abilities to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to manipulate one 's environment. 2) According to “dictionary.com” [dictionary] human intelligence, is the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. It seems from these definitions, it could follow that “artificial” intelligence would be some form of the same without the inclusion of the original/authentic… i.e., all the same but no “human” element, no capacity for inspirational spiritual input… leaving truth and justice out of its rationale, as they are anathema to Satan’s ways, and he hates the source of them. I submit that the spiritually dead and marginally confused lukewarm “Christian” [of rev 3:16] will be at the mercy of the AI onslaught that is building momentum as we speak… their focal point, I think, will be to destroy real believers [in essence, eliminate Yahweh’s “image”] so they can set up the “image of the beast,” and force zombie humans (that Yahweh still does love) to bow down and take the mark of perdition… Satan's “fist in Yahweh’s face,” so to speak. Once again, I can hear David’s words… “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.” ps 27:13 nkjv Throughout the Bible, front to back, “to believe,” always means “to obey.” It is better than sacrifice… Abraham was alone in a world of pagan darkness, yet his believing (obeying) was counted unto him for righteousness.. so the same is in our day, and the darkness [especially AI induced] will be defeated by faith in the truth, and in the name above every name… Yeshua stands between us and AI’s plans to destroy us. “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:9-11 nkjv… Amen Shalom, John |
