STAY CONNECTED WITH THE LORD AT ALL TIMES!

Hello Daughters of a King!

One day, I saw a person using a cellphone with a Bluetooth (like the woman in the picture above). The person left the cellphone on the counter and walked away talking on the Bluetooth. The person was losing the strength of the signal and couldn’t hear the person on the Bluetooth and lost the connection.

I thought to myself, this is what happens to us with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We use our prayers and fasting (cellphone) with the scripture (Bluetooth). Jesus (on the other line) is listening to the conversation on the “cellphone”; you leave the “cellphone” on the counter and walk away talking on the “Bluetooth”. We are losing the strength of the signal (our direct communication with Jesus) relying on just the “Bluetooth” and we are losing our connection because we are putting the “cellphone” on the way side.

In order to stay connected, we need to stay connected with the Lord at all times by prayer and fasting, scripture (word of God/The Bible), silence and being still, obedience, praise and worship.

1. Prayer and Fasting – Prayer and Fasting is defined as voluntary going without food in order to focus on prayer and fellowship with God. You can also pray without fasting and fasting without praying. (Scripture reference: Matthew 6:16-18, Acts 14:23, Ephesians 6:18, 1Thessalonians 5:17)

2. Scripture (word of God/The Bible) – The Bible says that “All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” (Scripture reference: 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

3. Silence and Be still – God speaks to us all the time, but the only way to hear his “gentle whisper” and to be silent and be still and listen. (Scripture reference: 1 Kings 19:11-12, Psalm 46:10, Mark 4:39)

4. Obedience – Obedience brings happiness to your life! Obedience shows we know God and follow his commandments. Being obedient is very important for your spiritual growth and maturity. (Scripture Reference: Proverbs 14:15, John 14:15, 2 John 1:6)

5. Praise and Worship – Praise and worship go hand in hand. Praise means to express admiration or approval for, and to express thanks and worship to God. Worship means to show profound religious devotion, and to have intense love and admiration. (Scripture Reference: Psalm 29:2, Psalm 96:9, Psalm 34:1, Psalm 100:2, John 4:23, Hebrews 13:15)

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I ask you to deposit in their hearts the hunger to stay connected to you at all times. I ask you to provide them strength to continue on this journey and help them focus on the purpose you have for their lives. I ask you all of this, in the name of Jesus. Amen

God bless you always,
