"Do Not Give Up Your Power to Create" & Anon's Disturbing Dream
This is a morning message from Witness 2. This post is dedicated to Adrian and K for their support of this ministry. I pray for blessings over both them and success in all they do in Jesus's name.
Introduction - Dream of AI Takeover
As usual, I ask Jesus Christ for any dreams before bed, and last night, I had a sorrowful one.
I was immersed in a society of AI. It did not seem to be in the distant future but closer than we would like to think. In this society, though people still seemed human, they had given up something for this AI - their power to create.
Do you ever wonder why so many people have interests like art, music, writing, woodworking, pottery, etc.? Surely most reading enjoy (or have enjoyed) some hobby in their life, or they enjoy watching others who do hobbies. There's nothing wrong with that. Either way, most appreciate these hobbies because it is a reflection of God's creation.
When I write, I feel as if I am tapping into something higher than me. It makes me feel closer to God. I am creating something right now. Before I wrote this, I prayed, and I even had an image of what it would look like in my mind. This is the power of creation, but surely, when I write, it isn't perfect because I am human. Still, I feel closer to God upon writing something, and surely you feel that way about some part of your life, too.
Unfortunately, what is happening right now is that people are giving their power to create over to AI. For example, this is true of the writing and music genres. I am subscribed to many writing threads online, and many are happily working with AI now, saying it's the best route to go. They are saying, "It won't be that AI replaces your job. It will be someone who works with AI that replaces your job."
I work in a career where I could use AI, but I won't. And I haven't. It would make some things I do easier and faster, but I refuse.
Now, let's remember - I'm not a legalist. I am not saying anyone who has used AI or will use it is going to hell. I know there are probably images on this blog that are AI, and honestly, it's getting difficult to tell what is human-created and AI-created.
However, the message of the dream seems clear. If you decide to use AI consistently, then you are somehow giving up your humanity and your power to create, which is an aspect of God. Your power to create is what makes you like God in His image.
I think this dream is a warning - for me and for readers. Though it is tempting to want to use AI, I would largely avoid it.
The best comparison I can draw is when GPS came out. Now most people cannot navigate a city without it. I remember, once, I went to visit my hometown, and all of my friends were using GPS even though they had lived there their whole lives. It didn't make any sense because it was a small town, and we grew up knowing where everything was without GPS. They just told me that they had forgotten where things were. It was eerie.
So, I told Witness 1, let's not use it unless we really have to. Now, we can navigate all the cities near us and we rarely need to use GPS. We have not given a part of our minds over to GPS, and again, I am not criticizing anyone who uses it. It's just a thought experiment.
For most of us, we have given up our power to technology in some way. Perhaps that is inescapable. However, this dream I had about AI was absolutely horrid. It was so sad. I do not know what other word to use. It was just devastating. Everyone had given up their power to create because of AI.
Use of AI reflects a quest for human perfection in something other than God. Through Jesus Christ, we can be made perfect. It is a balance of following Him, with His grace and mercy.
However, with AI, there is some type of eerie perfection people are striving for - worldly perfection. It is not Godly.
The art work may look nice, but there's something off about it. The writing may sound nice, but that's something off about it. The music may sound good, but there's something off about it.
Again, I am not saying one cannot use AI, and this is not a post of condemnation. For me personally, however, after that dream, I think I will avoid it as much as possible. Of course, we are in a time where it might just be unavoidable, and that could be the message from the dream, as well. I imagine many work places are going to start requiring AI, and the question is: "What are we going to do?" That leads to my next point. I read Mark 10 ESV this morning, and most readers are familiar with this chapter:
The Rich Young Man
17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,[c] “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Many miss the point of this passage. They think, "Well, I'm not rich, so I don't have to worry about that." However, I do not think that is exactly what it is saying. Yes, it is absolutely about giving up riches for God, but you have to pay attention to something subtle.
Jesus says, "You lack one thing."
So, if Jesus looked at you and asked you what you lacked, what would your answer be? Or rather, what would Jesus say you lacked?
For this rich man, he lacked the ability to love Jesus more than his money.
Then, surely, this could relate to other things. Could you give up porn, marijuana, sex, alcohol, drugs, or whatever binds you to serve Jesus Christ? Could you love Him more than your other gods or idols?
Maybe it is money. Going back to the AI takeover, will some of us be left with a choice? Will we get to the point where we cannot work - not because we are forced out - but rather, we can no longer negotiate with evil.
We are all going to be met with difficult choices soon. Some of us may have much to give up, and maybe it should start now.
This isn't to brag, but I told Witness 1 yesterday, "I can go days without eating and run 10 miles if I have to (or more). I have trained my mind and my body and my soul. I am ready (as I can be) for what's to come."
I have put hard work into myself the past few years. It seemed easier to give up things now then when they are forced on me. So, I am willing to possibly share my meals with others if I have to. I also am a lot stronger than I was, and I feel I will be generally more resilient. And, hey, maybe that running will come handy in some way I do not understand - running away from the zombies, perhaps.
So, my morning message to readers is this: What are you going to have to give up to fully serve Jesus Christ? What are you lacking that is inhibiting your full walk with Him?
Finally, let us not give up anymore of our power to the world or technology of the world. I think with AI, it is a fine line, and let us all be careful. Now, let us go to a dream from a reader that was also really eerie.
Anon's Dream
I have actually been getting many emails, so I am going to spread out reader contributions over this week, and I will be doing my own prophecy update soon. If you sent something in - it will probably be in one of these morning messages or a prophecy update. This reader's dream connects with the prophecies I have been making about coming illness...and possibly some type of zombie-like scenario.
Hey I just woke up from a dream. I don’t know if it’s prophetic or not but I will certainly tell you it anyway.
The dream was about a new disease that started to spread out of no where and at first it was slow, only affecting you like a flu or something. However, it was so bad that the hospitals were starting to get filled up.
After some time people started to change appearance getting rocky/tough skin and the nails started to get sharp and the last stage was they lost control and started to attack those who weren’t infected.
I was with a friend who had this disease and the last thing I remember was he started to chase me after being fully transformed and I barely managed to escape getting into my car, and also they do not like loud noises because I hit the alarm in my car and it shrieked and ran away. And that’s when I woke up lol.
Here is an image that somewhat resembles what they looked like but it is an exaggeration. I just for some reason immediately thought about infamous 2 which is a video game.
They didn’t look exactly like this but they were pale skin after the disease fully took over, and instead of those long claw things you see, it was just rocky hands with huge sharp nails.
I also woke up and immediately felt I had to send this email to you guys even if it’s nothing, before I forget about it.
Thanks for sending.
Honestly, many have prophesied some type of zombie apocalypse event, and I can see it.
My personal opinion, and this is conjecture, is that it is at the end of Daniel's vision, when he cannot get out of bed because he is so disturbed.
Honestly, there is a lot more I can say there, but I am out of time. Surely, I have will have a zombie post coming in the future : )
Thank you, anon, for contributing the dream and the pictures. It definitely might wake some people up this morning!
Conclusion - Start Your Day Right
For our avid readers, I will be working on many posts throughout the week, with reader contributions, prophecies, and more. God is keeping me busy, so please, check back!
Though much of this is gloomy, remember, we have control and power through Jesus Christ. Let us start the day with a prayer.
Lord Jesus Christ,
I do not give any of my power to the world or my enemies. I give all power to you in Jesus's name. Lord, please protect my day, and please bless the readers of this blog in Jesus's name. Lord, convict who needs to be convicted, and help who needs to be helped in Jesus's name. Lord, I ask that you fully protect me as I go about my day and send your angels concerning me in Jesus's name. I plead the blood of Jesus over me, my family, and my entire life in Jesus's name. I pray fire upon anything or anyone who even thinks about harming me or my family in Jesus's name!
As always, these morning messages may have errors, but hey, at least they are written by a real human!
With love,
Witness 2
