FATHER has not changed since HE expressed the Law in Deuteronomy and the summation of the Law expressed by HIS Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.&#160; Further, HE sent HIS Holy Spirit to reside in us so that we can be fully led by HIS SPIRIT in all things.&#160; It is up to us individually to carefully observe these commandments and not allow ourselves to be moved by our logic and\/or emotions to walk another path.&#160; Technology seeks to place us in somewhat of a jail \u201ccell\u201d so that we would be led in another manner.&#160; People are becoming addicted to their cell phones to the point where they are becoming unaware of their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Technology excites the senses and draws people away from spiritual sensitivity.&#160; I observe this every day as I drive, walk, and sit in public places.&#160; I see people with their heads bowed\u2026 no, they are not praying\u2026 they are fixated on their cell phone screens.&#160; It we carefully observed FATHER\u2019S Word like people are carefully observing their cell phone output, this nation would not be heading toward widespread chaos.&#160; Should we be fasting technology?&#160; Just a thought!&#160; I wonder how many people would go through severe withdrawal?&#160; Is it possible that when the chaos arrives, people will be bowing their heads without their cell phones in their hands?<\/p>\n<p>It is my intent to go before FATHER every morning in the quietness before the external stimuli can enter in.&#160; I find this time to be invaluable to me as I seek to hear HIS Voice.&#160; FATHER never lets me down as I write these blogs.&#160; I plan to carefully observe HIS Commandments and hear HIS Voice so that I will fully mature and be a vessel of honor for HIS use.&#160; Let us all ascend together in HIS Love for mankind.&#160; Let us be careful to resist anything that would draw our attention away from careful observance of HIS Word and SPIRIT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is written by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 28: 1 \u201cNow it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.\u201d &#160;
