Why Church Attendance Is Essential
At 4am on the 15th November 2024 I had a compelling dream & scripture that flooded my unconscious state of mind which, not only disturbed my rest but quickened my spirit.
To say it was the Holy Spirit who spoke to me may sound presumptuous, never the less it was very very explicit and real to me, to the extent I got up from my slumber and wrote in my journal.
“I dreamt last night of an emerging AI Church that conducted it’s ministry via Live Streaming.
The leaders of the Live Streamed Church, acted and preached as if they were real people, but in fact were AI generated.
Some of the names & faces were known to me and appeared to be genuine but in fact turned out to be, what is called a “synthetic reality!”
What is that you ask?
Take a look at this short video from a well known and respected actor:
I saw a proliferation of Live Streaming of so called “Churches” being advertised on the Internet which were in fact not real.
The singers & preachers appeared to be real but in fact were simulated to create a synthetic reality that looked real.
They appeared very convincing in their performance and had all the trimmings of being genuine & God inspired or ‘annointed’.
You may rightly ask how can we know what to believe on the media?
The first thing I noticed about these “Live Stream Churches” was their growing dependance on AI technology to make them look and sound good.
The music and presentation was second to none.
It looks so good and so real, that when they make constant appeals for money it’s hard to say “No”
In todays world, financial scamming is becoming endemic and a fictional reality that deceives many.
The Bible says “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
It appears their ultimate object is to make money online to embellish their enterprises.
Immediately my thoughts went into overdrive about the importance of attending Church in person and not online.
Then I saw what I describe as the Spirit of Anti Christ being released across the globe.
It alarmed me as I saw scores of AI generated preachers across world performing AI generated miracles!
The image and conduct of these preachers mirrored real life people.
Zoom Services were becoming the norm and I wondered what next?
Some years ago my inquisitive nature prompted me to experiment by using AI to generate face movements, to a beautiful photograph of my dear mother Stella Evans as a young woman.
When I first saw it, I was emotionally shocked as she looked at me.
Such was it’s momentary reality to me….. take a look!
I wonder what she was thinking when she looked at me a second time and briefly smiled as if to say,
“What are you doing Freddie”?
Today AI can even add her voice!
Ai is perfecting images of people that look and sound the real deal.
I saw life like Humanoids dressed in clothing similar to the fashion of the day, walking our streets like normal people, even though they were not real!
They were carrying out pre programmed responsibilities that mirrored human behaviour and speech.
Such is the amazing deception of AI creations!”
As I pondered the ramifications of this dream, I started to become distressed in spirit which awakened me from sleep.
Immediately my mind turned to the Scripture in Hebrews 10:25 “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
I saw the importance of gathering together as a living church.
I saw the importance of gleaning our inspiration, encouragement and spiritual guidance from living people, rather than from a TV screen, Zoom Meetings or the so-called “Internet Church”.
Live streaming may have served a purpose during the Covid pandemic but to continue to depend upon it will become increasingly dangerous.
AI will increasingly become a tool of the Anti-Christ to deceive people into believing in cyber generated miracles.
In describing to you what I saw in my dream, I do not want to take you on a guilt trip, but rather to encourage you to attend your local church regularly.
I know Live Streaming is a benefit to some, but I would urge all Christian to consider the dangers and find fellowship and support amongst living ‘Believers!’
“Forsake not the Assembling of ourselves together” says the Word of God in Hebrews 10:25.
Be it in small groups, homes or church buildings.
“Forsake not the assembling of yourselves,
as you see the day approaching”
