In recent months, news headlines have been dominated by intense global debates around spiritual practices, AI-driven prophecy, and doctrinal confusion. One striking example is the growing rise of “AI prophets” or influencers who claim to deliver divine messages or spiritual insight, often using algorithmic predictions and social media platforms. Headlines such as “AI Prophets: The New Age of Digital Religion” highlight how experience—rather than scriptural truth—has become the measure of spiritual authority for many.

This prophetic word directly addresses this trend. It warns that when experience becomes the criterion for truth—when people embrace the “mighty wind” of emotional excitement or digital novelty instead of the steady Word of God—confusion inevitably follows. Just as the news reveals a wave of AI-driven spiritual claims, this prophetic call urges believers to stand firm on the eternal Word of God rather than be swayed by technological sorcery or the illusions of online prophets.

The prophetic word also speaks to the moral vacuum exposed by these headlines. As confusion grows, so does the potential for manipulation—just as in cults that deny Christ’s deity or exploit spiritual hunger for personal gain. The Spirit’s cry is clear: return to the love of God as the foundation, and let the Spirit’s gifts manifest in lives marked by truth, not by fleeting experience. In a world where headlines trumpet new false prophets every day, the Word of the Lord remains the unshakable anchor for His people.

In the last year, we have seen a surge in AI-generated prophecies and “spiritual influencers” who claim divine insights through digital algorithms. Apps like AI Jesus and ChatGod have emerged, offering users AI-generated “scripture” and prophecies that mimic the language of sacred texts. Some of these apps promise to provide personal prophecies or spiritual direction, blurring the line between genuine spiritual discernment and algorithm-driven content. Headlines in major outlets—like Wired’s “AI Prophets Are Here—and They’re Dangerous” (published in early 2025)—warn of the confusion these tools bring, as users flock to experiences that feel spiritual but have no grounding in biblical truth.

This explosion of AI-driven spiritual voices perfectly illustrates the prophetic word’s caution: When experience (even technologically driven experience) becomes the criterion for truth, confusion reigns. Users of these AI prophets report feeling “moved” or “uplifted” by the messages, yet these experiences are based on data models, not divine revelation. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 14 and the prophet’s voice today remind us that true spiritual gifts flow from the Spirit of God—rooted in love, confirmed by the Word, and aligned with the person of Christ.

Moreover, just as cults throughout history have twisted truth by denying Christ’s deity, so these AI prophets present a counterfeit spirituality. They can imitate the form of sacred language but lack the power and Spirit-led fruit—love, joy, peace—of true prophecy. This example underscores the need for believers to test every voice against the plumb line of Scripture, and to trust not in experience alone, but in the abiding Word of God.

The Winds of Confusion

Beloved, hear the word of the Lord in this hour! The Spirit speaks of a great shaking—a confusion that spreads like a cloud over the earth when experience is enthroned above truth. Many today seek to make their experiences the judge of doctrine, but this is a snare! For when the heart elevates its feelings above the revelation of God’s Word, it opens the door to every contrary wind, and truth is lost in the tempest. This is not the way of the Spirit, for our God is not the Author of confusion.

See how the Lord warns us: to build your foundation upon experience is to cast your lot with chaos. Like a house built upon shifting sands, so is the soul who elevates feelings above the eternal Word. Beloved, you are called to a kingdom that cannot be shaken, founded on the Rock of Ages! Let no one deceive you with strange doctrines or personal visions that lead away from the gospel once delivered.

Look then to the day of Pentecost. Acts 2 reveals how the Spirit of God filled the upper room with wind and fire. Yet even this miraculous outpouring was grounded in the promise of the Word—Jesus had foretold it, and the Scriptures confirmed it. Let every heart discern the difference: the Spirit of God always moves in accordance with the Word of God!

And yet, tongues of fire and voices of praise are not the final proof of the Spirit’s work. Many boast of tongues and prophetic utterances, yet their hearts are barren of love. Let the Spirit of truth convict: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.” Love is the first and lasting fruit of the Spirit. Let no counterfeit claim of spiritual gifts distract you from this more excellent way.

Beloved, this is the clarion call: to embrace the Spirit’s fullness is to live in the power of Christ’s love, to walk in the light of His Word, and to refuse the seduction of experiences that contradict the truth. Let the wind of the Spirit blow away every deception, and let the fire of His holiness consume every false doctrine. For the Spirit bears witness not to confusion, but to Christ—He who is the Word made flesh and the Prince of Peace!

The Conquest of Love and the Battle of Spirits

Beloved, know that the absence of God’s love is the abyss of hell itself. When the love of God is withdrawn, hell is unleashed upon the earth. This is the Word of the Lord: the forces of darkness are restrained now by the Spirit who dwells in His people. But a day comes, as Revelation declares, when love will be withdrawn and evil will pour out in unrestrained fury.

This is why you must be vigilant! For even now, many spirits move in deception. Cults and false teachers exploit the gap between the finite and the infinite. They deny the deity of Jesus, twisting the truth and profaning the mystery of the triune God. Some say there is no Spirit. Others say the Father is forgotten. But I tell you, the Spirit of truth speaks: Jesus is Lord, the Father reigns, and the Spirit empowers!

In this hour, you must take up the weapons of your warfare. Do not let the confusion of cults or the pride of experience rob you of the victory Christ has won. Stand upon the Word, pray in the Spirit, and let love be your shield. For Romans 8 declares: “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” The Spirit leads you, fills you, and arms you for triumph.

See also how the apostle wrote to the Ephesians, rebuking the cruelty of Rome’s household order. Even as fathers had power over life and death, so the Spirit calls you to a higher law—the law of love. God’s love is not a sentimental cloak, but a blazing sword that pierces the darkness. Where others see children as disposable, the Spirit of adoption cries out within us: “Abba, Father!”

Therefore, beloved, walk in the fullness of the Spirit, not in the shallows of experience. Let the fruit of love be your testimony. Let the fire of God refine you, the Word of God ground you, and the Spirit of God empower you. Thus says the Lord: confusion will be scattered, victory will arise, and love will prevail!
