We are connected by God’s Holy Spirit!

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." (John 3:8 NIV)

I've always been fascinated with the mysterious connections found everywhere in nature

Certain types of moth have an olfactory sensitivity that can detect a single molecule of the female sex hormone from miles away. Salmon disappear into the ocean, travel a thousand or more miles away, and then return two years later to spawn in the exact stream! How did they find their way back? Then, there are the migratory birds that travel vast distances back and fourth, some even across the ocean without getting lost! Some birds even manage to return each year on the exact same day, like the swallows of Capistrano do on March 19! Then there is the amazing Arctic Tern, which migrates the farthest yearly journey of any bird. It travels from its Arctic breeding grounds to its wintering grounds off of Antarctica, about 25,000 miles! Wow! How and why do they do that?

God does it!

We serve an awesome God who connects everything in the world with amazing precision! He holds all His creation together! “He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” (Col. 1:17 NLT).

There are mysteries

One of the strangest phenomenon in quantum mechanics is called quantum entanglement, where two or more particles are "entangled" and an action performed on one effects the others. This would be sort of like having an object on Earth and another on the moon, and if you did something to the one on earth it would instantly affect the one on the moon. Once entangled, the two particles stay inextricably linked. Quantum entanglement is so strange, in fact, that Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance."

We use technology we cannot see

The other day as I was listening to my radio it occurred to me that I am using a lot of technology I don't understand. Radio waves are all around us, we use them to listen to the radio and they even connect millions of us humans simultaneously by our smart phones. Wow! Even though I use the technology it's a mystery to me how it actually works!

We are also connected to God by what we cannot see

We can't see God, but His power is evident all around us. We are connected and helped by God’s Holy Spirit that is inside of us!

You must receive Him by faith

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12 NKJV)

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9 NLT)

God’s  Spirit will dwell in you and help you

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17 ESV)

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own.” (2 Cor. 6:19 ESV)

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24 NKJV)
