My
computer is not working at peak efficiency, the fan doesn't keep it
cool, I can't open too many windows to get more tasks done, and my
WiFi connections always goes off. Hmm I can get overheated, I try to
pursue too many tasks, and my connection to the universal signal is
often awry. My computer reflects my life!
Let
me start with the Universal Signal, the WiFi of the Supernatural. I
am not connected to the Information of Impartation coming from the
Throne of Grace. How then, can I reconnect? Position myself where
the signal is strong and make sure I am an instrument that can
receive the signal.
Next
is Overheating, not from doing too much work but from interacting
with situations that frustrate me. I can get distracted by the
things of the flesh, and open too many windows to the adversary's
deceptions, disturbances and distractions. Again it has to do with
re-positioning not just to the place where the signal is strong but
away from the noise of this neighbourhood.
Dealing with the Daily problem of Opening
too many windows is easy. Close them! Keep the main thing the main
thing. But live in the diversions of my life without letting them
become distractions. Playing and Planning, Processing and Preparing,
Doing and Being, they can all be done at the same time.

Meyer wrote Bible Commentary when there really was no signal
transmission, in fact any radio signals went across the 'ether' but
even in his day he understood the unseen signals that pass from earth
to heaven.
THE
PRAYER which prevails is that which is incited by the Holy Spirit.
He
is the medium of communication between heaven and earth, and
reveals to us the thoughts and desires of God, so that we do not ask
amiss. Just as the ether (ie radio waves) will connect up one
continent with another, so long as the transmitter and receiver
are in accord, so the Holy Spirit is the Medium between
ourselves and the glorified Redeemer. Prayer is transmitted
from our hearts, borne forward by the Spirit, and registered in the
heart of our Lord. It is perhaps better to say that it originates
there, is transmitted to us, and sent back from us to Him. We know
that by our thought-waves we can help our friends in distant places,
so it is surely possible for our thought-waves to reach the Lord
Jesus. Oh, that we may be ever in such sympathy and accord with Him
that there may be no loss of His thoughts toward us.
So
we have the Transmitter, the Medium of Transmission, and the
Receiver. As communication between Transmitter and Receiver
improves, the interaction becomes more intimate and the flow can
happen both ways. A Century ago we could listen to the radio,
everything we heard was programmed from one end, but now we can cyber
chat and have greater Intimate Interaction.
Just
as we now have a selection of genre to interact with News, Sports,
Entertainment, or something more personal, Meyer identifies different
types of prayer.
The
Prayer of Communion and fellowship. It is like a father asking his
little boy why he keeps coming into his study, and discovers that the
child has no special reason, but only wants to be with him. So we
should not be satisfied with the knowledge of God our Father which
ordinary men possess, but have such aptitudes and yearnings which can
only be satisfied by fellowship, communion, and adoring love.
The
Prayer of Request. As life goes [the nature of our requests changes
and] we are content to leave ourselves in the wise and tender hands
of our Heavenly Father, and it is enough that He cares. We learn
to be thankful that some prayers have not been answered, and to
realize that God is doing for us ever so much better than we ask or
think.
The
Prayer of Intercession. This is nearest to the mind of Christ. He
wears our names on His heart, and ever lives to intercede. So we must
position ourselves with the Mediator for specific situations that
touch our hearts.
The
Prayer of Conflict. At times we are called to enter into the Garden,
and to bear with Him some of the burden of His conflict for souls
against the principalities and powers of evil. This is the very
definition of Prevailing Prayer, and we must tune ourselves into the
News of the Day as it affects the Kingdom Vision on the earth.
Well
my computer isn't working right and even tho my wife's devices have a
good signal, I just can't seem to get things working right, better
call The Repairman to see what advice He can give. So fellow
Christians let us continue to be part of the Nerd Herd and God Geeks who are
conversant with the Cyber connection between earth and heaven.
LOOK UP FROM YOUR SCREEN AND SEE THE AMAZING THINGS THAT GOD HAS FOR US!
THE EYES OF A CHILD
THE GLORY OF A SUNSET
THE POWER OF A WORD SPOKEN IN YOUR EAR.
