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).

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.
