God Invented Wireless

Before the invention of the remote control we actually had to get off the couch and walk across the room in order to change the channel. Technology has come such a long way since then. As it advances to reveal new ideas, one thing remains the same-the Source. All witty inventions share the same foundation called creativity, which comes from our Creator.

Today we've got laptop computers, smart phones, tablets, wireless keyboards, etc. The world wide web itself is amazing! It's mind boggling that we can type a letter to a friend who lives 3000 miles away, hit the send button and it's delivered in a matter of seconds!

All wireless connections are possible because of signals-some really strong, coming from all the way up in space, via satellite. I find it strange that we expect results in the natural- like pointing a remote to change channels, when we can't see anything visible making this happen, yet, most people doubt God, because they don't see Him. We've become spoiled with the luxury of our wireless connection to the whole world with our devices.

We constantly rely and depend on this technology so much that we've become unaware of God's wireless signal coming all the way from heaven to reach earth. He's been sending us signals since the beginning of time, but unfortunately not everyone chooses to get connected.

Direct access is always available without interruption for those who "keep their power on." His word is living, powerful and effective. It never had to be created because the Word always existed. He was alive in the heavens before He was expressed in the bible.

In order to change the "channel,"or the direction in our lives, we'll need to pick up the remote (word of God) and intentionally point it at each circumstance. The power to transform our lives depends on our direct signal to God. If our faith is unplugged, or unhooked from The Ultimate Power Source, we will not experience transformation.

Ephesians 3:20 explains it like this: "All glory be to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within us."


"Wireless Prayer"-There is no distance in the Spirit

Matthew 8:5

 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.  “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”

 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.  For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 

But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

These subjects are the ones who don't believe in Jesus. They have no faith in Him as Messiah, therefore will not have any place at the feast. 

God's word is indeed "wireless." I can pray for my friend standing right in front of me or one that's a hundred miles away. That same word comes flooding in from heaven to earth, which is really not that far away, because it lives within me. 

Connected...Signal...Strong!

You don't need to pray through Mary or even have a pastor pray for you specifically. If you have Jesus on the inside, you can speak power-packed-energizing, life filled words over yourself and receive, because the word works...every time! 

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.  Luke 17:20

We are conduits of Gods power! 

A Voice in the Wilderness

"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God." Romans 8:19

If you're a parent, then you know what it's like to eagerly await the birth of your baby. During the whole nine months, we speak to our unborn child, all the while we're anticipating the sound of their voice. Those first words are so precious, usually it's Mama or Dada. Just to hear them calling our name causes us to rejoice. 

How do you think God feels when a "newborn" babe is birthed into his household? He is more than excited, especially when we first call on his name. He knows that voice inside of us was designed to carry a message of hope to all of creation.

We know that John the Baptist was a voice in the wilderness and Jesus himself went into the wilderness to pray. In the wilderness Jesus was tempted by Satan, but he overcame him with the word of God. In the wilderness we are separate from distractions, which enables us to hear. Each time Jesus came back from praying, he had a message to deliver with his voice. 

You are also a voice that needs to release hope. What is the world waiting to hear from you? What do you have inside that needs to be birthed? After the Israelites were delivered from their oppressor, it didn't take long to hear that the oppression still lived in them. Moses came as a voice, sent to them by the Great I AM. Because of their constant murmuring and complaining, they camped for forty years in the wilderness, just outside of the promised land.

After Moses died, Joshua and Caleb became God's voices in the wilderness. These two were the only ones that actually entered the promised land. They had something different in their Spirit. Determination and courage. Caleb in Hebrew means faith, devotion and wholehearted. Joshua means salvation. 

God told Joshua, do not be afraid and be very courageous. Joshua and Caleb boldy voiced God's will to the people. The sad thing is, they were a stiff necked, stubborn people and did not listen. Thus they never inherited the promise. It's not our job to force people into doing, but we do have a responsibility to be a willing voice for God to proclaim his will to the slaves that are still bound.    

In the wilderness we pray, grow and go! Just don't stay there, you're supposed to move into the promised land. 

Don't be silent, millions are waiting to hear what God has already said. 

"LET MY PEOPLE GO!!"

And God Granted His Request

Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. 
1 Chronicles 4:9

Why did God grant the request of Jabez?

We don't know any more about Jabez besides this verse. However, the bible can speak volumes of hope even through a few sentences such as the case here. If we are seeking with an open heart, much will be uncovered to us. 

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

 Because Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, that honor set him apart. He may have come from a painful background (he was bore in pain) but that did not stop him from praying to the God of Israel, requesting that he be blessed and enlarged in his territory. He apparently had a good heart, he did not want to cause pain or get caught up in evil. He desired that the hand of God would lead him. This heartfelt plea caught the attention of God, thus answering by granting him his request.

God is not interested in your past, he is not interested in how good you are, he is looking at your heart. The bible says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord He will grant us the desires of our heart. (Psalm 37) As we delight in Him, not in evil, not in the world, honoring Him, acknowledging Him in all your ways and He will guide your way.

I was the last one born in my family. I am the youngest of six siblings. I used to think that maybe I was an "accident".. that Mom and Dad already had five kids why did they want another one? Did they really want me? I know they loved me, but I still questioned my existence. I realize now that was wrong thinking! I grew up in "normal" home. At least some of the time it was normal. Typical family issues. Lots of drinking, arguments over money, jealousy among siblings, whatever.

Both my parents have gone to be with the Lord. Mom in 1997 and Dad in 2009. I do miss them!
My dad was an engineer and was away from home a lot. While he was away my mom handled the checkbook. Many times I heard them fight over money. My mom would play the lottery everyday and go to bingo two nights a week. I think she was trying to win back money she had spent. I wasn't spoiled, I had middle class stuff, clothes, food etc. I love my mom very much, it hurt me to see her drink herself to sleep lots of nights.

I got saved in 1993 and started my journey with the Lord. I always knew God existed but I was not brought up in a Christian home. If if weren't for my relationship with Christ, I could not have handled my mom dying of cancer in 1997 just a year after I was married. I would not have been able to cope with my big sister passing from cancer in 1999. If it weren't for the love of Christ... I couldn't heal from my Dad going to heaven in 2009 and my Father in law in that same year.

But through it all, God has shown himself to be loving and faithful. I have honored the Lord and continue to put him first. I can relate to Jabez. Although I have come from a place of pain I am going to a place of blessing. I can believe and expect increase. Just as God granted Jabez's request, I believe he will do the same for you and me. As we call on the Lord God of Israel, saying...

 “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” .................So may God grant my request. 

Job 8:7

Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

From Darkness to Light

'Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son' Colossians 1:13

What happens when we are translated from darkness to light??

What happens when your walk into a dark room and turn on the light?? The darkness flees, it is not there anymore. You may have shadows, but you can see. It enables you to see what you couldn't  before. 

Light is a very powerful thing, it brings illumination making things clear, bright, and made known. Let's say you walk into a dark room but you don't turn on the light. You may stumble, trip, stub your toe, walk into a wall, knock things over or fall and get hurt. By turning on the light, there is a shift in the atmosphere of that place.

What does the word translated mean?
To remove, or change from one place, state, form, or appearance to another. It also means to turn into one's own or another language. 


When you become a child of God, you move from one kingdom to another. From the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. From a place of not seeing, not knowing, to a place of seeing and knowing. From a place of fear to a place of peace. Depending on the magnitude of the light you are accessing will determine how well you see and hear in this new kingdom. 

For instance, if you take a walk outside at night and you bring a dim flashlight. How well will you see in front of you or around you? If you change the batteries or upgrade to a more powerful one you will see a big difference. When you are translated in to the kingdom of light, you are responsible to use that light to find your way. 



How do we find our way around this new kingdom?

1)Read the word of God. 
2)Meditate on it.
3)Speak it. 

His word brings light. "This is the message we have heard of him, and declare it unto you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:5

Let's look at another example. It could be daytime outside, but instead of opening up the curtains, you leave them closed, not allowing any light to come in. Although it is light outside, the inside remains dark. 

It is the same with your heart. If you do not open yourself up to the exposure of God's word-which brings light, you will remain in the dark. 

You cannot operate in this new kingdom without a new mindset.

Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2

If you want to know God's will and place for you, then it is essential to allow the word of God to change your thinking. You must be "brainwashed." If your mind is still filled with the stinky, dark, filthy things of this world, then there will be no room for the good stuff to fit. It needs to be cleaned out!

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." 

Psalm 119:105

'But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.' 1 Peter 2:9

The Caleb Spirit

"But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it." ~Numbers 14:24

We can't talk about Caleb without looking at the leadership of Moses, who was called to "free the slaves". 

"Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field" (Exodus 1:8) 

Moses had a tremendous call on his life. He was chosen to lead Israel out of 400 years of bondage! That was a really big deal.

"Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob" (Exodus 2:23).

Moses was anointed to lead God's people to freedom, but they were stubborn to leave. The first thing they did was murmur against him. Even after witnessing numerous miracles, when they came to the Red Sea, instead of trusting in the God who led Moses, they saw a "road block." 


Moses had quite a feat. On one hand he had to deal with Pharaoh, and on the other he had to deal with a faithless, fearful generation.  

Every time God performed yet another miracle, still, they did not increase in faith. They actually wanted to go back to the 'land of bondage' because they were trained in slavery for so long. They didn't know how to live free. Their minds were stuck in Egypt. 

Forty years they wandered around the desert, never reaching the promise land. This was not God's will for them. God gave them that land. He created it for His people but they were cowardly and stubborn to obey. 

As they got close to the land of Canaan, they saw it afar. They sent twelve spies to check it out. When they returned ten of them had a negative report. They were afraid of the people there. "There we saw the giants and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight” 
(Numbers 13:33).

In order to have a "Caleb spirit" we must eliminate all fear, become strong in faith, while envisioning our victory in Christ. 



But Joshua and Caleb,who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying:

 “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.  If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” Numbers 14:6

"And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel."  

Can you believe this? Two men step up to the plate with courage and faith to go where God already said they could go and they want to stone them?? Why is it when someone speaks faith and wants to act on it, it upsets those who don't believe?

Caleb and Joshua were the only ones to go in and dwell in the land of Canaan. 

"But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land" (Numbers 14:38).

Where are the Caleb's & Joshua's? I believe that spirit is still alive, perhaps only in a few. Let it be us. Jesus has conquered our enemies so that we may go in and enjoy this land of plenty.
