It is written by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 28:
1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”
9 “The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.
10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you.”
All of FATHER’S commandments can be summed up in two commandments expressed by Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew chapter 22:
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
FATHER intends for us to carefully observe HIS commandments to Love. FATHER has not changed since HE expressed the Law in Deuteronomy and the summation of the Law expressed by HIS Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Further, HE sent HIS Holy Spirit to reside in us so that we can be fully led by HIS SPIRIT in all things. It is up to us individually to carefully observe these commandments and not allow ourselves to be moved by our logic and/or emotions to walk another path. Technology seeks to place us in somewhat of a jail “cell” so that we would be led in another manner. People are becoming addicted to their cell phones to the point where they are becoming unaware of their surroundings.
Technology excites the senses and draws people away from spiritual sensitivity. I observe this every day as I drive, walk, and sit in public places. I see people with their heads bowed… no, they are not praying… they are fixated on their cell phone screens. It we carefully observed FATHER’S Word like people are carefully observing their cell phone output, this nation would not be heading toward widespread chaos. Should we be fasting technology? Just a thought! I wonder how many people would go through severe withdrawal? Is it possible that when the chaos arrives, people will be bowing their heads without their cell phones in their hands?
It is my intent to go before FATHER every morning in the quietness before the external stimuli can enter in. I find this time to be invaluable to me as I seek to hear HIS Voice. FATHER never lets me down as I write these blogs. I plan to carefully observe HIS Commandments and hear HIS Voice so that I will fully mature and be a vessel of honor for HIS use. Let us all ascend together in HIS Love for mankind. Let us be careful to resist anything that would draw our attention away from careful observance of HIS Word and SPIRIT.
