In the midst of the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, I do have a problem. I'm surrounded by that which blocks me being able to receive an internet or satellite signal. In other words, my surroundings are getting in the way of me being able to pick up something from out there.
God never once allowed our surroundings on Earth to get in the way of receiving messaging from heaven. That's why he's given every believer what the Bible calls the anointing. The anointing is that work of the Holy Spirit where he delivers Heavenly messages to our Earthly environment.
It is this connection, as we abide with the spirit, that God can speak specifically into our Earthly circumstances, situations, challenges, difficulties, and need for clarity and guidance. To show us which way God wants us to move and how he wants us to take the next step in life.
Yes, we're surrounded by the rocks and valleys of Earth, but don't lose sight of Heaven because you leave the Holy Spirit by God. The Holy Spirit, the anointing, is the key to keep the messages of Heaven reaching you no matter where you are situated on Earth.
Don't leave home without it.
