Sealed - Part 3预览

DAY 7: Sealed for the Great Day

As in the days of Genesis, the days leading up to the Great Day of the Lord will be both wonderful and terrifying. In the beginning, Satan deceived the woman, tempting her to believe that humans could possess as much knowledge as God. Later, humans became so powerful that they decided to build a great tower in Babel, but God interrupted their plans by confusing their language, preventing them from collaborating. Once again, in the days to come, humanity will work tirelessly to achieve super-intelligence and radically extend life, usurping God's authority and desiring to become like Him.

Human culture will rush to commodify everything and be governed by convenience. Technological innovations will create incredible wonders in healthcare, agriculture, education, industry, and energy. The advancement of science will lead to a state of singularity where biology and technology merge. Human bodies will become purely mechanical, and brains will be artificial.

People will be categorized into three groups:

1. Pure humans.
2. Augmented hybrid humans (people with technological implants that enhance their intelligence).
3. Machine people (robots with full autonomy in society).

The level of knowledge and science will attempt to carry out the Great Substitution, which is the desecration of God’s image in human beings.

"Technology can be a tool of rebellion in our lives or something that helps us draw closer to God." — Jacob Schatzer.

More than ever, God's people will need to rely on the seal of the Holy Spirit. He is our highest and most profound intelligence. The Holy Spirit will show us what to say, see, and discern in every situation, guiding us to be aware of and avoid the devil’s traps.

With the growing trend of virtual life, the culture of the table must be restored and lived out. The table teaches what it means to be human, what is true—a place where real and delicious food is prepared with love to meet the real needs of others, where people gather to share stories and memories, experience deep laughter, sing songs, and lift prayers—a place of true fellowship and communion. Humans were created to build families, celebrate true friendships, carry out meaningful work as artists and builders, inventors and soldiers, leaders and priests. We were created to tremble before our Creator and fulfill an individual and specific purpose: to make His glory known on the earth.

We are sealed with the power of the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. He can teach us how to live and overcome at an extraordinary level in the most difficult days. He gives us knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to succeed at the highest level while keeping us holy.

It was through the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus performed miracles—healing the sick, multiplying food, walking on water, and raising people from the dead. Artificial intelligence may help cure diseases, and the Bible says even the Antichrist will have powers to perform wonders. But we must not conform to this world, knowing that nothing made by man is the ultimate power. Our faithfulness, loyalty, and trust are in Jesus, not in the deception of powerful men. He is greater than any authority or machine in this world.

The Spirit of God who is with you will be within you. He must be the seal, the mark, upon you.

God will cause those who are sealed with His seal to triumph in Christ.

The Bride of Jesus will be guided by love, not by fear.

My Prayer:

God the Father, I thank You for loving me and sending Your Son Jesus to pay for the forgiveness of my sins. I have been bought with the blood of Jesus and am now sealed for the Day of the Lord. Thank You for writing my name in the Book of Life. Give me strength for the days ahead. Give me boldness to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to those around me and to the nations. I want to be a faithful witness of Jesus. My trust is in God until the end of the ages.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
