Be Connected
Connection is one the major things which makes everything tick. Information flows freely, people get what they need and are satisfied but what happens when you lose
connection? You miss vital information, you have no clue what's going
on around you. Not being connected can cause people to miss out on so
much, there's times people want to impart some information to us but
because we aren't connected, we miss out. Imagine if the Government (10 Downing Street) lost contact with the World, i'd imagine it would be catastrophic. Their allies won't be able to get information across to them.
So, why could this be? I've
often wondered what it's like to not have connection. Think of it as
not having mobile data on your phone which means you can't check your emails,
check social media or even connect via Whatsapp. There could be some
vital information that you will miss out on because you are not
connected.
Colossians 2:19 states “They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and joints, and it grows as God nourishes it”
So, we can see that people have lost connection, they
just aren't receiving the right information. The Head is where
everything takes place. The Head controls every part of the body but
if that is not sending signals, nothing will move. The whole body
will just stay still, dormant waiting for a signal to move.
Let's look at this another
way. We need to connect our gadgets to a plug so we can give it life,
if the charger isn't plugged in, it won't connect to your phone and
so your gadget doesn't have life. You won't be able to use it to its
full capacity.
So, what am I trying to say?
In order to receive
information, we have to be connected at all times.
I then began to look at this
from a heavenly perspective. There will be certain times God wants to
tell us something, there will be times he needs us to give him our
full attention but how can we do that if we are not connected. If we
are not in tune with the Holy Spirit, how will we ever know what God
wants us to do? Let's remember, if we really want to connect to the
frequency of the heavenly realm, we must first connect to it, get in
tune and pay attention.
Imagine losing connection in
times of trials and tribulations, who do you contact? Because you
aren't connected you can't get through. God can't get through to you
and deliver what you need? I know that I would be at my wits end if I
ever lost connection, even for a day. But there are some people who
have no connection at all, they haven't plugged in.
So, how can we connect to
God. First of all we need Access, we need a connection.
In John 14:6 Jesus states
this “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man can come to
the father but by me”
This lets me know that we
have to call on Jesus so we gain Access, so we can connect to the
Father. It also lets me that there is no other way to connect to the
Father, no other source will connect me. It's like trying to use a
bootleg version, it's not the original source. It won't work, no
matter how many times you plug, you just can't connect.
We can also access the
Father by praying. Talk to God and then listen for what he says.
Luke 18:1 states “Then
he spoke a parable to them that men always ought to pray and not lose
heart”
This
gives me the knowledge that if I talk to God on a daily basis, we
will start to build a relationship. We will then start building
something called 'Open Access'. It means you can plug in straight
away and you know that you will be able to freely receive
information.
What if
now, we connect but we can't speak the heavenly language? Through the
fire of the Holy Spirit, everyone was in one accord. We can also
connect through the Holy Spirit because Acts 2:4 states “And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues and the spirit gave them utterance”
Jude
1:20 states “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your
most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit”
This
lets me know that by connecting to the frequency of the Holy Spirit,
I can now connect to the Father.
But how
do we activate it? We can activate it by Praise. Praising God is one
of the quickest ways to access God's Presence. This activates the
awareness of the Holy Spirit and it also increases angelic activity
from above. As you begin to Praise, other people will join in because
they want to connect to that same source.
Psalm
22:3 states “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the
praises of Israel”
God
loves our Praise, it moves Heaven when we give him Praise.
People
like Paul and Silas knew how to activate God's Presence. Despite
their troubles they praised God.
In
Acts 16:23-26 it states that “And when they had laid many
stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to
keep them safely:
Who,
having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and
made their feet fast in the stocks.
And
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the
prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and
every one's bands were loosed”
Paul
and Silas were thrown into prison, you would expect them to be
moaning but no, they prayed and praise their God. At that moment,
there was a release. There was a mighty earthquake which shook the
foundations of the prison, every prisoner including Paul and Silas
were released, they were free. It was because of their praise, this
then provided God an opportunity to channel his power in their
circumstances. Wow, Imagine that, Praise can set people free. Despite
of your circumstances, Praise Him, Lift Him Up, Let everyone know
about him and he will certainly deliver you.
Psalm
100:4 states”Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into
courts with his praise, be thankful unto him and praise him”
Another
way is to completely Focus on God and what he is doing around us. As
we fix our eyes on him, the Holy Spirit will come alongside to help
us. It's now a one on one communication between you and God. Let God
lead you, let it come freely. Sometimes, you just have to be still in
his Presence. Let him Come in, Give Him an Invitation to enter.
Have
Fun Connecting to God, when we are in His Presence there is fullness
of Joy.
When we
connect to God, it's the most best experience ever, things we don't
know will be revealed to us, as we enter the secret place, a place of
intimacy, this is when we will truly get to know God for who he
really is.
The
Season we are in, God is releasing some things to us. Let's get
connected so we can receive, Let's get connected so we can partake in his Glory.
Be
Connected, Don't Miss Out
Be
Connected
