Holy Spirit vs. Technology
As I stated earlier this morning, today’s technology is based on how the Holy Spirit works. When God created the earth, He made it with the purpose for man to live on it. His great wisdom saw the need for technology. Technology has only discovered what God has always known, which God placed within the reach of man.
However, it has and will always be, God first and technology last. You want a life-changing and everlasting conversation, begin with how God communicates and connects with His people. Technology is based on the principles of God and specifically how God connects, communicates, and has conversations with His creation. Here is what the Bible says about how the Trinity communicates with us:
1. God has always been wireless (using the Holy Spirit) from the beginning to talk with us—it’s how He communicates.
2. God uses ‘text messages’ to communicate—the Bible has over 31,000 verses and Holy Spirit can give you one or hundreds of verses a day to help you communicate with Jesus. Just one text (verse) can change how you connect to Him.
3. The Holy Spirit can reach out to only one person or to billions of people with a single message from God. The Holy Spirit can connect with anyone, at any time, for any reason, and in a variety of modes of communication—that’s what He does.
4. God uses the Fruit of the Spirit to build a communication network between the Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ. God is into changing character in His conversations with mankind. He does not just pass along information nor is He into gossip.
5. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit is how God gets things done on earth. It is and has always been about the Holy Spirit’s power working in our conversations with God and each other that produces the will of God on earth. Talk about power—there will never be a smartphone that has the power to communicate action as God does.
6. Emergency warnings is how the world warns us of danger and God uses the Holy Spirit to do just that. The connection and the conversations we have with God initiated by the Holy Spirit help us see the dangers ahead and options of what to do. God’s warnings come with peace and direction.
7. As the world has multiple devices so does God. However, God’s devices are personal and multi-sensory. God uses dreams, visions, words, and all our senses to connect with us. While technology merely has words and some sounds with symbols/video, God hits us with everything at one specific time and with one sole purpose. God’s technology embedded in the Holy Spirit can get your attention with meaning and purpose within a microsecond. God is amazing!
