It has been said that technology of an advanced society would look like magic to us.
Well, I’m here to tell you that there is a higher society and it’s not from aliens or other dimensional beings; it’s spiritual. You see there is a spirit world, and we exist inside of it. In fact, even you are a truly a spirit!
Every new day we are stumbling on many scientific breakthroughs that prove biblical correctness about scientific theory; it’s mind boggling and you won’t hear the haters of God and the Bible admitting that. They go along with blinders, “developing and uncovering” truths that have been stated and revealed for millennial.
Well, I wanted, in this article, to reveal the heart nature of Christ/God toward our current connection to technology today and our seeming addiction to it, as well as how we seem to be deriving fulfillment from it at the sacrifice of relationships, specifically our phones/tablets.
Jesus used prayer to connect with the Father. He taught prayer and He showed how the anointing that breaks EVERY sin, sickness and dis-ease comes from communion with the Father. Now don’t you think, being God, if phones were the way to greater connection, He could have whipped up a phone or two or 2 million? The answer is yes. Certainly, He could have brought us into a new level of technology back then even in that day! But He didn’t! He showed a MORE EXCELLENT way ...PRAYER!!
If Jesus were here today would He have a phone? Do you think He’d have His nose stuck in it and tell people wait till I’m finished with this text? Or do you think He would say the best way to get a hold of me is text? I think not! I think He’d say if you wanna talk to me LITERALLY come follow me, spend time with Me, listen to Me in person, etc. In fact He told us, if you want to be fulfilled seek the Father through Me in prayer. He said that in Him you’ll find joy, peace, happiness, hope, and even all the things you need! He showed us we need to talk to- and look at each other in the eyes- face to face! We need to lay hands on one another, hug one another and, love one another! He showed us we need to stress less and live simply and peacefully. He showed us we need to be sharing, caring, building ourselves- and each other up- to be peace makers!
So, I ask you if that is the model He set- and will bring back upon his return- how should we be living today? It’s time to go tech-free and connect face to face, first with the Father and second, with each other! God is rebuilding His church again. He is showing He is our true Father; He is showing us we are ONE Family in Him; He is showing us unity is the key and humility is the first stepping stone to unity!
Please join me is committing to seeking God and people more Face to Face! Let’s set the phones down more and more! Let’s not be upset with people when they don’t get right back to us. Let’s give grace and be happy for people who are not available because they have put people before phones!
Let’s unplug from the world and plug into Him and each other. It’s time we tap into the Highest level tech, the Tech of God Father/Son/Holy Spirit. See ya in person at the Barn! Talk to ya in person later as well, lol. Love ya all, be blessed!!
