Remember how you feel when you are engrossed in your favorite movie, or regularly scheduled program and it is almost to the end, and here comes the message; “we interrupt your broadcast for the special report!” You know how frustrated it made you because of that interruption!
Fast forward to the future, it is less frustrating because now we have greater technology that allows us to pause, record and rewind, so the unexpected interruptions do not have the same effect as before!
See, before, when we did not have the technology now, when you missed a portion of the program, that portion is gone!
There was no coming back! Now, we don’t even worry about it, because we know now that we can go back and retrieve it On Demand!
Also, the words spoken; “we will return to the broadcast immediately following this message” gave you the hope that you would at least see the end, you literally Stayed Tuned In because of the hope you had that normal would return again!
This interruption is only for a moment!
So I am rest assured that it won’t last that long!
The Bible declares; Hebrews 2:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
The one thing I have come to realize is that the enemy cannot stand to see you at peace! And Peace is when you are Tuned into God’s Word, Promises and Truths, so the enemy hates for you to be tuned in!
He hates the fact that you are no longer worried, troubled by the circumstance, and he is especially angry that you have the nerve to Praise God in the midst of the circumstance!
God wants us to Stay Tuned In because He knows the plans and if we remain Tuned Into Him, we will be able to continue in His Way even when the circumstances of life want to cause disarray!
We cannot allow our faith to be interrupted so much that our hope in Who we know, becomes broken!
“A little leaven, leavens the whole lump”
You cannot be so moved by the problems, that you are moved away from the Promise!
We must maintain our focus on The Truth, God’s Word, what we have heard, regardless of the temporary interruptions of life! We have heard enough and seen enough to be rest assured, if I just Stay Tuned In, I Will Make It Because I Am On God’s Side!
I know He is on my side, for He has never left me, but I must remind myself daily, that I Am On His Side!
I Am of Him!
Paul says, in 2 Corinthians 4, “ Since we have the Spirit of Faith, according to what is written, and because you believe what you have heard, Speak!” Because the Word of God is truth, and gives you the ability to Know, because He, Who raised up The Lord Jesus, will also raise you up with Jesus!”
So we do not lose heart, we stay tuned in! Even though we do not see where all things have been brought into subjection to God, we know that through His Word, it is so, therefore, we Stay Tuned in because we do not dwell on the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen!
Our Hope is not in the temporal, but the eternal, so we Stay Tuned In because we know that these afflictions are light and only for a moment, we will return, not to a regularly scheduled broadcast, but a Greater Story to tell! 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NKJV) 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
Everything that you have overcame worked out for your good - Everything that you are currently enduring is working for your good!
The Disciples asked Jesus why did He speak to the people in Parables, Jesus told them that these people have not been awakened to the Revelation (Mystery) that you all have already been awakened to, so Jesus literally met them at their need.
This is good news because it does not matter where you are in your faith, God will make it plain enough for you to understand and realize that He is working on your behalf if you believe!
John instructed us in 1 John 2, that we have the Anointing of The Holy Spirit, Who keeps us and teaches us in all things! In order to Stay Tuned In, we must let The Anointing Abide (remain) so that we too will have the Power To Stay Tuned regardless of the many distractions of the enemy!
You see, the enemy knows that you are on the verge of a breakthrough, he knows that you Stay Tuned In to the the Truth, God’s Word, which you have heard from the beginning, The very Word that impregnated you with purpose, and you are ready to birth what God has impregnated you with!
So the enemy wants to sow darnel in order to try and keep you entangled with the old you, but because you Stay Tuned In, God allows the Promise and discord to grow together, and He will bring forth “You” when Harvest Time is in season!
The doubt cannot keep you from purpose, the suffering cannot hinder your purpose, because the darkness has pass and The Light is Shinning through!
The enemy is angry with you because he has lost his place, so he wants to interrupt The Only Broadcast that will keep you and sustain you, God’s Way is not a regularly scheduled broadcast, it is The Only Broadcast, and the enemy knows that you are Staying Tuned In, so in the night, he wants to sow discord with the seeds of faith you have already sown!
The Darnel (Tares) they resemble wheat, but are weeds, come to choke out The Truth of God’s Word you already know!
This is why you must stay tuned in because The Holy Spirit knows The Heart of God and will keep your connection steady through all of the interruptions.
In Revelation 12, the enemy is angry because he has been cast out, you have taken his place now. The woman was ready to give birth but the enemy desired to stop it!
She could have aborted the birthing process but yet God would send a sign to help her Stay Tuned In!
He spewed out water trying to flood her with troubles, but The Earth helped the woman because her offsprings keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Christ our Lord and Savior!
So do not become discouraged and allow what the enemy is sending after you to cause interruption in your connections to God! Stay Tuned In, for vengeance belongs to God, He will repay, He will take care of what afflicts you!
Do not cast away your confidence, for your confidence in Christ has a great reward and your confidence is what will help you Stay Tuned In!
