If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck…Or is it? The Holy Spirit will cause us to spiritually discern the real from the false.
In a vision I was observing the activity of a group of ducks and began to approach them, but I was not moving of my own accord. I was being carried toward this group of ducks in the same manner that the Spirit of God had transported the prophet Ezekiel when God uncovered the wicked activity that a group of men tried to conceal. The closer I came to the ducks, the more striking certain illuminations from the Spirit became, the way that I was being carried and what I was being carried in. I was spiritually transported in full-bodied armor, which had the durability of an impenetrable army tank. There was no opening in the armor except for the eyes which permitted me to see only what the Holy Spirit wanted discerned.
As I neared the flock, one duck separated himself from the group and started toward me, seemingly expecting to be fed. His back had been toward the east with his beak facing west, but he turned left to approach me coming from the south. The pathway of the observer and the positioning of the duck carries spiritual significance. South indicates the lowest point possible signifying a spirit of humility. North would indicate a spirit of pride. I heard the Lord caution me, “That’s not a real duck; that’s an AI duck.” The duck stopped abruptly and I focused on its expression, not the outward but the inward. I knew he had seen something that gave him pause, but whatever it was, it could not be seen by the naked eye, only in the spirit. The Lord had me to focus on his inward expression, which was that of pride. The deceptive gesture of hunger displayed outwardly was not for physical food but for power.
The familiarity of the spirit of pride mirrored the pattern of Lucifer, Goliath, and Machiavelli. Lucifer challenged the angels of God, Goliath challenged the army of Israel, and Machiavelli of Florence Italy challenged the princes of his day to become ruthless power mongers. The advancing duck symbolized the system of Babylon, carrying all three spirits.
The spirit of Babylon is symbolic of rebellion against God, which can be seen in corrupt political power, ruthlessness, false religions, idolatry, and seduction of cultures. The Machiavellian spirit pits the state against the true and living God and seeks to create a Godless society. This spirit of Lucifer represents judgment and desires to interpret the laws in favor of the devil’s agenda. The spirit of Goliath represents execution, and he is the enforcer that comes to oppose true military might. The Machiavellian spirit wants to create laws that will replace God and His righteousness in our society. Are we contenting with such evil power and spirits today? Emphatically, yes! And this spirit is targeting gatherings and groups. The voice of the Spirit of truth is reminding us that the Lord is the greatest power of all! The scriptures show us the power that has been awarded to Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18) and the power that Jesus has awarded to us (Luke 10:19).
As far as the gospel of the kingdom is concerned, not only must we point out that God loves people, and Christ forgives and saves people, but we must remember what happened when Jesus was resurrected! What is the benefit and how do we profit from having resurrection power in our life? The Lord wants us to know that every knee is going to bow and every tongue is going to confess that because of resurrection power, Jesus is Lord, and He is the greatest of all! We must focus on pleasing God by believing, having faith, and trusting in Him. The Lord rewards diligent truth-seekers that keep pursuing to know God. The Lord wants us to focus on loving (obeying) God, and following the leading and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants us to serve God through serving people, especially groups and team that are kingdom-focused.
The Lord wants us to practice forbearance, as mentioned in (Colossians 3:13) and to love our enemies, do good to those that hate us and pray for those that despitefully use us (Matthew 5:42-48).
The Lord wants us to be sober and vigilant against the devil ( I Peter 5:8). He wants us to resist the devil (James 4:7). He wants us to wrestle the principalities (Ephesians 6:12). He wants us to stand against the tricks and the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18) and not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices (II Corinthians 2:11). The Lord wants us to bring into captivity every thought, every voice, so that we do not lean to those voices (II Corinthians 10:3-7). The Lord wants us to cast down everything that tries to go up against what the Lord is telling us so that we can believe God, truly and completely. The Lord wants us to take revenge on these devils when we bring them into captivity, to take revenge on them, doing the opposite of what the intention and the expectation of the devil is. And the Lord wants us to cast out these devils (Mark 16:17). God, through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, is going to guide us. Thank you Jesus!
The prayers of the righteous coupled with godliness and kingdom living will spoil the works and dismantle the plots and schemes of subtle evil doers that are planning to use AI and other instruments to bring evil people and laws to power. Pray for the kingdom of God to come and for His will to be done. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). The spirit of righteousness is capable of uncovering and confronting plots of evil that the enemy contrives. (Hebrews 4:13). Guard your heart and every area of your soul, from lawlessness and aggression, infiltration, and manipulation to deceitfulness of every kind. Also guard your connectedness to teams and group activities.
Guard your heart and the areas of your own soul through prayer and meditation of God’s word, and labor to please God with your life. Again, cover teams, groups and gatherings of people through watchful prayers for married couples, families, churches, educational institutions, governing bodies, amusement parks and recreational centers. Pray for all men everywhere (I Timothy 2:1-3).
Satan fell, Goliath fell, Machiavelli fell, and Babylon is also going to fall. And instruments used for evil will be discerned and dismantled. Nothing can be hidden (Hebrews 4:13). Is it a duck or isn’t it? The Holy Spirit knows and He will show it to us. Godspeed!
