Supernatural Radio Signals: How Strong Is The Frequency In Your Heart?


Every day from Monday through Friday I drive about twenty minutes to work and almost forty minutes from work (the curse of LA traffic).  Other than enjoying music in my truck's 6-disc CD player I find myself spending a lot of time listening to the radio.  As many of us in this telecommunications-advanced world know:  there are pretty much millions of stations whose frequencies compete for almost each channel in my truck's radio (both AM and FM).  (I can't even imagine thinking of digital and satellite radio signals.)  I have radio signals coming in and out at multiple levels.  But my tastes are simple.  I love this one FM channel that plays the best uplifting Christian music that I listen to on my way to work and on the tedious drive back home.  But here's the frustrating part.  I enjoy this rejuvenating music only half the time when I'm driving.  Because somewhere during my daily drive, frequencies from competing signals overpower the channel.  I would be grooving to some powerful spiritual music and all of a sudden I'm bombarded by moving "mariachi" music that cuts in and out of my supernatural revelry.  And before you know it I can't tell whether the channel I'm listening to is a Christian music channel or Latin party central. 

Now this is not a scientific expose' on radio technology and science.  It is not a study on the merits of Christian music versus Mariachi music.  But in one of these frustrating moments I received a prophetic revelation.  Why is living a supernatural-oriented life so incredibly difficult in this day and age?  Answer: the channel in our hearts that receive supernatural radio signals have to compete with other frequencies that cut in and out of this channel.  Soon we cannot tell the difference between the supernatural and the secular.  Deep down inside we long for the heart-channel broadcasting that primeval voice, that deep presence of the supernatural one who completes us and makes us whole and healed.  But somehow the frequency of that supernatural radio signal is not strong enough to hold on to our heart-channel.  Other frequencies and signals cut in and out.  Before you know it we've moved on to another channel.  And whatever channel that once held our heart and soul is now lost to a different music.  We have lost this supernatural radio signal in our current age.  Its spiritual frequency is just not that strong in our lives anymore.  As a result we are stuck in a miserable ride with music that numbs the misery but never makes a good ride.  How strong is this spiritual frequency in your heart?  Is the supernatural radio signal broadcasting loud and strong?

"The Spirit Himself (supernatural) testifies with our spirit that we are God's children." (Romans 8:16)
