4/13–Remember who helped you



Story:

Years ago there was an old Minister that lived about fifty miles from me and I would go see him whenever I could. He was a barber in a little barbershop and next door was a coffee shop.

One day I went to see him in the shop was not that busy so we went next-door to the little coffee shop. This minister was full of wisdom and great illustrations.

There was a napkin holder on the table as there are on most restaurant tables. Back in the 1980s they were making little radios out of all kinds of things. It was just the style of that day. He pointed at the napkin holder and asked me if I thought they could make a radio out of that?

I replied that I was sure they could. He went on and said that we could put two dials and an antenna on it ourselves, but it wouldn’t pick up anything. After I agreed he continued his explanation. He asked me why we did not pick up anything. After I told him to go ahead and explain, he said because it didn’t have anything inside that it needed to make it work.

He told me that children of God that had God’s spirit within them had what it takes to both transmit and receive God’s message.

My mind went back to the old black-and-white TV at my home when I was growing up. We had an old outside antenna that we had to turn when we changed the channels on the TV.

My dad would be watching the TV and I would be right outside the window where he could see me and the TV at the same time. He would motion me to turn the antenna more and when I got it at the right place he would motion me to stop.

It is that way today spiritually. We have to have our minds turned to the Father like we had the antenna turned towards the station.

Also, we have to clear our minds of the static of this life. We have to be free of worry, feelings against other people and other toxic thoughts. If we don’t we won’t be able to talk to God and transmit or receive.

Scripture:

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Two dogs were out for a walk. One dog says to the other, “Wait here a minute. I’ll be right back.” He walks across the street and sniffs a fire hydrant for about a minute, then rejoins his friend. “What was that all about?” the other dog asks. “Just checking my messages.”
