(I want to first make a disclaimer, that this post is in NO WAY a disrespect to our Lord. I was blessed by the thought He game me & wanted to share. It is not my intent to lessen this benefit from the Lord or try to bring the Lord down to our level.~Marcie)
Everywhere we look today, we see technology. Most of us hold it in our very hands! The age of smartphones, tablets, ipads, etc. is here! People can stay connected to each other, no matter where they are in this world! (It blows my mind that people on the other side of the world can read this blog!!!) This mode of communication is usually enabled by the Internet, and if you use a portable devise, it is usually always by means of WiFi, or wireless Internet. I was thinking about this the other day. It is amazing to me that we can almost instantly talk to people on the other side of the world. Then, I thought, the ability to talk and communicate instantly with the Lord is even MORE AMAZING! It is our ULTIMATE WIFI! This ability is like WiFi in that,
- There first has to be a MODEM for a connection. This is usually a wireless stick or a hotspot that can run more than one device at a time. The main place of our ability to talk with the Lord is Calvary. This is where the Lord paid our sin-debt and saved our soul, IF we have called on Him for salvation. If you have not, then TODAY IS THAT DAY! The Lord said that .."NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION..." Ii Corinthians 6:2. The Lord will hear your cry and save you TODAY!! Call upon Him while He is near! If you are saved, this is where you became a member in the Lord's family to have the connection to Him. Just as more than one computer can be connected to a power source, so can the Lord's children! There is no limit to the number of people that can call on Him at one time! His ears are EVER OPEN TO THE CRIES OF HIS CHILDREN! (Isaiah 59:1 & Psalms 34:15). " For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers.." I Peter 3:12. Thank the Lord we NEVER have to stand in line!!!!
- There has to be POWER in the device itself to keep it running so that the connected can stay. This source of power for us is THE BLOOD!!! The source of energy for the Christian is this NEVER ENDING source of strength to give us the strongest connection that is possible! "But with the precious BLOOD of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times FOR YOU.." I Peter 1:19 & 20. It is NEVER ENDING, because it is ETERNAL! There will never be a power outage to keep us from reaching our Lord, "through the BLOOD of the EVERLASTING COVENANT!!" Hebrews 13:20. "by HIS OWN BLOOD...having obtained ETERNAL redemption for us." Hebrews 9:12. The Blood is our eternal source of power!!
- There are only certain areas of coverage with some WiFi connections, but we can access the Throne of Grace from anywhere in this world!! "...call ye upon him while he is near." "....for I will NEVER LEAVE THEE, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5. He is ALWAYS interceding at the Throne of Grace for us, and waiting to hear our prayer! "..He ever liveth to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25
- We have UNLIMITED MINUTES!! We are instructed to "Pray without ceasing." I Thessalonians 5:17. Hebrews 7:3 tells us that Jesus abides as our High Priest CONTINUALLY! We have access to Him at anytime, anywhere, for as long as we want!!
- Lastly, we do not have to wait of a connection to secure itself, because our prayers connect us INSTANTLY to our Lord!! "Continuing INSTANT in prayer." Romans 12:12. We can be certain that our prayer is not delayed! "And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, he heareth us:" I John 5:14.
Our spiritual WiFi connection is amazing! The Lord Jesus Christ is the only One that could provide this blessing to us. Our connection made to Him at Calvary, Powered by His Eternal Blood, reaches worldwide, with no limits, and no delays!! Since we have this privilege as His children, "Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16
