MOST OF US HAVE CELL PHONES, SO WE KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING AND/OR DEBILITATING THAN WHEN A CALL DROPS OR WHEN THERE IS STATIC ON THE LINE. WE CAN NOT HEAR WHAT THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE CONVERSATION IS SAYING. THE PROBLEM WITH BOTH OF THESE ISSUES IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE CALL.
THESE SAME ISSUES OCCUR WHEN WE AS BELIEVER OF CHRIST ALLOW SIN TO CREEP INTO OUR LIVES
(GEN. 4:7). OUR CONNECTION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE EITHER STATIC-Y, OR THERE MAY BE NO CONNECTION AT ALL. WE CAN NOT HEAR FROM GOD NOR RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS FROM HIM. EVENTUALLY, WE BECOME LIKE LOST LITTLE SHEEP, NEEDING THE ROD OF THE SHEPHERD TO PULL US IN (ISA. 53:6).
CLEAR AND CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION (FELLOWSHIP) WITH THE FATHER OCCURS WHEN WE CLOSE THE DOORS THAT WE HAVE OPENED TO satan. DAILY BIBLE READING, MEDITATION AND PRAYER AND FASTING WILL INCREASE CONNECTIVITY AS WELL. WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO MAINTAIN FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER, WE MUST DO IT FERVENTLY. THE FIRE MUST NEVER BURN OUT (JER. 20:9) IF WE KEEP THOSE COALS HOT, WE WILL FOREVER PREVAIL.
MAINTAIN THE FELLOWSHIP; DON'T LOSE THE CONNECTION SAINTS!
