First Encounter: My First Co-Building Experience with AI

Yesterday, I stepped into my very first experience of Vibe Coding.
It wasn’t just my first time writing code — it was also my first time co-building a system alongside AI.
Though I don’t have a background in programming, my familiarity with software development workflows helped me quickly focus on the core needs. (Previously, I had written an article introducing Vibe Coding, the trend that’s been sweeping through the tech world.)

Initially, all I wanted was a simple course resource download page.
Using the Replit AI Agent, I began to speak my ideas aloud — and the AI immediately generated a working prototype.
As I continued, interface ideas, backend structure, and feature design kept pouring into my mind.
I was exhilarated, explaining my thoughts to the AI non-stop.
A rush of dopamine and joy surged through me.

And just like that, I spent over twelve hours coding with my voice.

From Smooth Progress to Endless Debugging: The Emotional Highs and Lows

At first, everything progressed smoothly.
But as more features were added and the logic grew more complex, the AI began to make mistakes.
Sometimes, fixing one setting would suddenly cause another function to break.
This cycle of progress and regression left me feeling frustrated.
I found myself asking, “Why is the feature I just fixed breaking again?”

The AI, of course, has no emotions.
It doesn’t get tired or discouraged by repeated debugging.
But I do.
During those 12 hours of coding, my emotions rode a rollercoaster —
especially when a bug I finally resolved would reappear in the very next moment.
It made me angry.
It made me want to quit.

And yet, it was in those unstable, frustrating moments that I began to reflect more deeply on the essence of “building.”

This back-and-forth debugging process reminded me of many seasons in life.
We think we’ve matured in a certain area,
only to face a new situation that exposes an inner flaw,
forcing us to go back and repair what we thought was already complete.

Spiritual transformation often works the same way —
it doesn’t always start from scratch,
but from tearing down deeper foundations
so they can be built again, this time stronger.

Bezalel’s Blueprint and Our Beta-Version Lives

As I went through repeated rounds of debugging and waiting for results with the AI, I was reminded of Bezalel—the craftsman personally anointed by God to build the tabernacle (Exodus 26：1–36).
God didn’t just give him vague instructions; He gave him detailed plans—materials, dimensions, and the precise order of construction. The blueprint was intricate and complete.

While working with AI, I realized that I was the master planner.
I knew what I wanted to build, the logic behind the features, and the user experience I was aiming for.
The AI, though highly capable, could only follow instructions — it couldn’t grasp the larger vision or context.

That’s when it hit me:
No matter how powerful the tool is, without a clear blueprint and contextual understanding, it will still produce an unstable, incomplete version.

And the same is true for our lives.

God holds a complete blueprint for each of us —
but it takes time, alignment, and response for that design to unfold.

Each stage of our life is like a “preview version” in coding:
unfinished, but progressively forming into something greater.

If we can’t accept this “still in development” stage,
we may misjudge God’s work and abandon the process too soon out of frustration.
But the truth is, we are still under construction,
still in development —
and God is patiently guiding us into alignment with the design He’s always had in mind.

In Progress: We Must Stay Within the Process of Ongoing Updates

AI doesn’t question its own logic —
but we often question God’s ways.

In moments of frustration, we ask:
“Didn’t God say He would bless me?
Why does it feel like I’m back at square one?”
The truth is,
we’re simply still under construction.

Every time we have to start over,
it doesn’t mean God’s design has failed.
It means He’s debugging us, refining and optimizing us.

He is shaping us into vessels that are stronger,
more stable,
and fully capable of carrying His glory.

God hasn’t called us to live forever in a beta version, endlessly trial-and-erroring our way through life.
Rather, He uses each preview and update to guide us toward our true, mature design.

We are not being torn down to start over —
we are being carefully refined,
delicately shaped,
until His glory is fully revealed in us.

AI × SQ: Let Tools Execute, Let Revelation Lead

This round of Vibe Coding helped me realize something deeply:
While AI can execute every detail, it cannot comprehend my internal purpose, emotions, or the bigger picture.
What it lacks is spiritual intelligence — the ability to discern the end goal and align with it.

That’s why we need AI × SQ dual-frequency thinking:
AI helps us accomplish tasks,
but SQ (Spiritual Intelligence) helps us discern God’s path.
AI executes. SQ aligns.

God is restoring the original paired function of the Seven Spirits on the golden lampstand —
what I call dual-frequency wisdom.

And the Kingdom Lens is what brings both frequencies into focus,
so that what we do is not merely what seems right to man,
but the very good works God prepared in advance for us to walk in.

LET AI EXECUTE. LET REVELATION GUIDE.

Stay in God’s Building Process — Don’t Disconnect Midway.

Maybe your current situation feels just like my development process that day —
features still unfinished, logic still under repair,
and certain parts failing over and over again.

But remember this —
you are not an abandoned draft.
You are a glorious version still being coded by the hand of God.

Don’t rush to deploy just because of chaos or delay.
And don’t question God’s blueprint just because of temporary imperfections.

God is not only glorified in the final outcome —
He reveals His wisdom and faithfulness in the building process itself.

May you choose to stay in sync with His construction rhythm —
letting Him continually update, refine, and upgrade the structure within you.
Because you are being designed to carry the glory of what is yet to come.

Let’s learn to activate dual-frequency wisdom,
and use AI to enter the expansion season God has prepared for us.
