我知道你有多想念我
引言：“一位已逝去的挚爱之人对某人说，‘我知道你有多想念我。我仍能感受到你的爱。你的悲伤让我难过。我仍然守护着你……我仍然以你无法理解的方式拥抱着你。我希望你继续活下去，永远不要忘记我们一起学到的东西。我们一起欢笑。我们一起度过的风雨。但是，我现在安息了，我现在很平静……我不再生病。不再受束缚。这里没有疾病，也没有痛苦。我以你无法理解的方式来看望你。继续坚持，继续忍耐……我在等你……再见到你。’”（在线来源）

should Christian bloggers choose AI artificial intelligence or SI Spiritual Intelligence to enhance SEO (search engine optimization)? Watch a supernatural phenomenon
How do we choose a title for a Christian post with the hope that it will draw more SEO (search engine optimization) points and more easily found by internet searchers of your topic: AI way of Holy Spirit way? Artificial intelligence (AI) or Holy Spirit Intelligence (SI)? I tried out the AI choice. Then I was shown the SI choice supernaturally! (Read to the end for the supernatural)
As a demonstration, in two out of five recent posts* I used AI to generate more user friendly google SEO (search engine optimization) title:
“Jetpack AI Assistant fits right into your WordPress Editor. Its intuitive interface lets you engage with AI as if you were chatting with a colleague, reducing the time and effort you spend on content creation. Create, revise, and optimize content without leaving your WordPress Editor.” (Quoted from Jetpack)
Here is a sample of what the AI suggested to makeover the title of my post originally titled: “A vivid end time dream on December 23, 2015 and an affirmation of the truth in Christ” (posted on 2024-06-27) (Another re-post was “Embracing the Abundant Life in Christ: Prophetic Warning Unveiled on 2020-12-12)
The Jetpack AI that WordPress uses generated suggestions of several choices of an “improved” title based on the contents of the post with feedback as follows:
AI Feedback: The content provided is a powerful declaration of faith and identity in Christ, which can serve as a source of encouragement and inspiration for readers. The personal reflection at the end adds depth to the post, providing insight into the author’s journey and the significance of the content. To enhance the post, consider adding a brief introduction to provide context for new readers, and incorporating headings to break up the content and improve readability. Additionally, sharing personal anecdotes or examples of how these beliefs have impacted the author’s life could further engage and connect with the audience.
Choose an optimized title below:
Living in Jesus Christ: The Truth about Believers | Search Engine Benefits: Specific keywords related to belief in Jesus and Christian faith, attracting individuals seeking spiritual encouragement and identity in Christ.
This title highlights the core message of the post, emphasizing the believers’ identity in Jesus Christ, which promotes user engagement and relevance for those searching for spiritual guidance or Christian faith-related content.
Embracing the Abundant Life in Christ: A Prophetic Warning | Search Engine Benefits: Incorporates the theme of a prophetic warning alongside the concept of abundant life in Christ, appealing to users interested in prophetic insights and spiritual empowerment through Jesus.
This title effectively captures the dual themes of the post, combining the prophetic element with the concept of living an abundant life in Christ, which can attract users seeking prophetic messages and spiritual growth through faith.
Overcoming by Faith: The Believer’s Declaration in Christ | Search Engine Benefits: Focuses on the themes of overcoming challenges and declaring faith in Jesus, engaging users searching for empowerment through faith and personal declarations in Christ.
This title emphasizes the empowering message of overcoming challenges through faith and personal declarations in Christ, appealing to users seeking spiritual guidance and encouragement to overcome obstacles in their lives.
After generating several more suggestions, I settled the following title*: (a random pick which retained the original key term “Christmas dream”))
Biblical Positions and Overcoming Adversity in The Watchman’s Christmas Dream * 2024-06-27
The AI also generated a featured image for the post (a kind of a Western character in a forlorn land).
My five recent posts and their links
- *Biblical Positions and Overcoming Adversity in The Watchman’s Christmas Dream 2024-06-27 (Title generated by AI)
- Overcoming Spiritual Fear: Revisiting a Jesus-Centered Affirmation List 2024-06-26 (Title generated by AI)
- Pondering Christian text bloggers 2024-06-25
- pondering a continuum of blog writing 2024-06-24
- a revised and expanded list for enthusiast watchman 2024-06-06
The above experiment was a free trial for a limited number of generations of unpaid suggested improved items to bring your posts to a better possibility of being searched by the right target readers through the mainline browser like Google. There are many other steps regarding the SEO prominence.
Conclusion: Knowing and reading the AI suggestions is useful as a free trial run which has since expired. For this watchman the best run is still let the Holy Spirit guide. The following is an uncanny experience I encountered last night which turned out to be sleepless until 4am!
After I worked on and posted my posts, I still could not sleep. Something prompted me to get up in the small hours and walk to the book shelf and sorted out the journals in chronological order. I was looking for my journal on 2015 December 22 for more details of the Christmas dreams. To my disappointment I did not find my journal or handwritten random note book for that season, which was quite unusual. Instead, I saw a similar looking journal recorded by another and it opened by itself to the page of the exact date, 12-22-2015, with an affirmation in Christ and God’s love and a dedication of life in response to God. The time zone difference means that the spiritual thoughts recorded by another were on the same date as my dreams and my post. This is supernatural!.
The crux of the matter is: God uses different ways to prompt each child of God according to the individual believer’s maturity in Christ, in walking with the Holy Spirit, in understanding and keeping the Word, and in the relationship with the Lord. Over my spiritual life, I have found that His spiritual prompt is always the most timely and accurate. Instead of worrying, I should have focused on the goodness and love of God who never fails.
Bible verses:
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
1 Corinthians 2:12-14 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [a]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

classic hymn: All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre, and as they tune it, fall
Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all.
Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye morning stars of light, who fixed this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel’s might, and crown Him Lord of all.
Now hail the strength of Israel’s might, and crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God, who from His altar call;
Extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod, and crown Him Lord of all.
Extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod, and crown Him Lord of all.
Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him, ye heirs of David’s line, whom David Lord did call,
The God incarnate, Man divine, and crown Him Lord of all,
The God incarnate, Man divine, and crown Him Lord of all.
Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget the wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at His feet, and crown Him Lord of all.
Go spread your trophies at His feet, and crown Him Lord of all.
Let every tribe and every tongue before Him prostrate fall
And shout in universal song the crownèd Lord of all.
And shout in universal song the crownèd Lord of all.
[John Rippon added this verse in 1787]
O that, with yonder sacred throng, we at His feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all,
Join in the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all!
One of the most dramatic instances of [this hymn’s] use was found
in the experience of the Rev. E. P. Scott in India. His friends had
urged him not to venture near a certain barbarous inland tribe,
whom he wished to evangelize. But he went forth with high courage,
never wavering in his duty, and trusting in God to protect him.
When at last he reached their country among the hills, he came upon a
company of these savages. Immediately they surrounded him,
pointing their spears at him with threatening scowls. He had nothing
in his hand but his violin; and so, closing his eyes, he began to
play and sing, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” When at last he
opened his eyes he expected to be killed instantly. But his life had
been spared through the singing of the hymn. Their spears had dropped,
and they received him first with curiosity and interest, and
then later with eagerness, as he told them the gospel story and won
their hearts to the will of Jesus Christ. (Quoted from online source)

Why did Dr.Luke choose to be with apostle Paul?
What indeed was the main role of Luke? What did he choose to be? Obvious, a co-laborer sent by Jesus into the vast harvest field, and an impactful contributor through the use of his talent and gift to advance the kingdom of God, together with other faithful men and women in writing the history of Christianity for Christ and in Christ. To Luke, the call of Jesus was the only option.

使徒保罗和好友 apostle Paul and good friends
保罗有很多朋友。 有些比其他更接近。 今天我们继续读到保罗的故事，以及他在推进神国度的过程中如何重视与战友的关系。 从中看见他怎样靠圣灵严谨的选择和训练他的属灵同工/“战友”。他与圣灵的亲密关系引导他正确的选择，写成了一部初期教会重要的历史。

永在我心没有离开 you have never left me
“对于活着的人，我已离去，
对于悲伤的人，我永不回头，
对于愤怒的人，我被欺骗了，
但对于快乐的人，我很平静，
而对于信主的人，我从未离开。
我不能说话，但我可以倾听。
我看不见，但我可以听见。
所以，当你站在岸边凝视美丽的大海时，
当你看着一朵花，欣赏它的朴素时，
请记住我。
把我记在心里：
你的思想，你的记忆，
我们相爱的时光，
我们哭泣的时光，
我们争执的时光，
我们欢笑的时光。
因为如果你总是想着我，我就永远不会离开。”
~玛格丽特·米德
“To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart:
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.”

Rejoice with old hymns: He lives!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian lift up your voice and sing Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King The Hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find None other is so loving, so good and kind
Nor if I walk the vale with Him, Or meet Him in the air.
At the Cross - from The Hymns Project (Lyric Video):
How Great Thou Art:
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout
The universe displayed;
Stanza 2:
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
Refrain:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Stanza 3:
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
Refrain:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

2024 not abandoned: a new spiritual journey
How may we hear God and understand Him more accurately? Last night while praying my heart purposed to start afresh the unfinished journey over the uncharted spiritual rough waters of Bible words. It is not a time to ask why. It is a time to ask how. How may this be done consistently and persistently? I believe the Lord has put this desire in my heart and will help me get going…
I have put a link to my Sound Mind Journal blog in this watchman’s menu, labelled: “A New Spiritual Journey 2013-2024”. The first 2024 post (from alphabet A) shortly to be posted will be on a word that caught my eye on the top of the list, a word that digs deep into my heart. The original series started on March 16, 2013 and paused for many years, suddenly revived over a short period during the last 20 days of the year 2021 (six chapters posted on 12/12, 13/12, 14/12, 15,12, 18/12, 19/12, 21/12) and remained silent since then. What happened? Why December and those dates? Only now I see the significance. Exactly two years after that, a sudden personal loss (death) took place.
What better time is there than now to start catching up with Jesus as He walks towards the cross 2000 years ago? (This year’s Good Friday falls on 29th March.)

2024 how not to grieve over a devastating tearing asunder and loss of a beloved?
In the utmost sorrow and chaos inside out, spirit, soul and body, how does one stay sane and live on at least from day to day, eating and sleeping, halting the mind and the heart from a repeated constant reprise? It was impossible. Without God's grace and mercy and the immense working of the Holy Spirit, I could not have lived through the grief. I am still in its process and a work-in-process of a survivor of grief.
A day before the fateful departure, at my urgent call, a closed relative of mine who loves her too drove seven hours to see us. She stood by the bedside and prayed in tongue until she heard from the Lord and saw vision. After that I walked her to the gate. I didn't want to hear what she had to say from the Lord. Prior to that she already told me her prompting from the Lord the moment I called her. It was the first time she knew of the condition. This was the verse she received for me:
Ecclesiastes 3 Everything Has Its Time
1 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
However, I needed to hear and know what the Lord had again spoken and revealed for me. She told me at the gate what she received: a first vision of the beloved standing on a line between two groups on each side of the line. On one side was a group of those who have gone to heaven (her mom, brethren whom she had helped etc.) On another side a group of all those who wants her remain on earth to continue to help them. Both sides were crying out.
The Lord said: "She can choose either way."
a second vision: a beautiful garden full of lovely sunshine and flowers.
a third vision: of the beloved walking by herself and only her back view was shown. She was already walking real far along a calm and peaceful road.
The above vision and hearing from the Lord confirmed what this narrator received earlier on one day after asking the Lord what next. "She can live as long as she wants to."
She did not tell anyone her choice. No one can assume anything. Only the Lord sees our hearts and knows. For a believers who follow the Lord and walks with Jesus closely, we have an example in the apostle Paul.
Romans 14:7-8
7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
