In these times, the world is entering an era where human existence is increasingly intertwined with machines and artificial intelligence. However, true wisdom and understanding do not come from artificial sources but from the ancient paths—foundations established long ago by those who walked closely with God. It is the responsibility of those who carry this understanding to rise and bear witness to the truth in these last days.

Spiritual maturity requires discernment. Not every light is true light, and not every teaching carries life. Many seek validation through material achievements, measuring spiritual success by external displays of grandeur. Yet, the true temple of God is not built with human hands—it is within those who have surrendered fully to Christ. The pursuit of external recognition often leads to striving, but those who find acceptance in Christ alone are free from the pressures of human expectations.

The journey of faith is not about accumulating knowledge from every source but about allowing the Spirit to refine and filter what is true. Many have wandered, seeking deeper revelation, but true wisdom is found in aligning with the foundation that has already been laid—Christ Himself. This requires a willingness to let go of old mindsets, to remove the rubble of past teachings that hinder growth, and to build afresh on a foundation that cannot be shaken.

Growth in the Spirit comes through humility, correction, and unity. Disagreements must be handled with wisdom, and rather than arguing over doctrine, believers should seek understanding through one-on-one conversations. Correction should be given in a way that edifies rather than divides. The goal is not to win debates but to grow together in truth and love.

Ultimately, the path forward demands death to self—letting go of personal ambition and the desire for recognition. The only thing that matters is pleasing Christ. In surrendering fully to Him, believers will find themselves positioned to stand firm in the days ahead, walking in the wisdom and strength that only God can provide.
