Imagine with me that you were present for the birth of our communication miracles, the radio and telephone, the fax machine, the television, the computer and the internet. I know that those of us who were first users were amazed.

I recall the first time I operated a FAX machine. I asked “How does this happen?” and my response to the answer was, “And we have trouble believing that God hears our prayers!”

What is your response to the fact that information is translated into wave lengths and picked up by one designated telephone number and converted into the words of the language they were assigned? Does that seem impossible to you? It does to me, and yet it happens many times every day across the world.

Our prayer also is transmitted to God by words of speech, or of thought, every day in various languages; as certainly as the telephone receives the words sent to its FAX machine and prints them out for conveyance of communication, so do our words reach our God and He understands what we are saying. He hears us! He gets it.

Have you had the experience of having ‘a prayer’ downloaded to you?

I recall a time about 35 years ago when I heard that a school bus filled with children had disappeared in California. I sent up a prayer to God and I received a strange message downloaded to me, and it went something like this: “God let them find where those children and the bus are buried.”

It was exactly what had happened. A cult group had buried the bus with the children it. They were found and all were alive.

I could have not known or dreamed of such a thing. I uploaded a request to God, God said, “Yes.” God then downloaded to me the revelation of exactly what to pray.

I did not use computers in those days and so I had no reference of the downloading process, but I was keenly aware that the revelation of what to pray was downloaded upon me.

Use of the computer and other modern communications methods should affirm and reaffirm our faith that God is present and available to us. If these processes are possible in our dimensions, and they are, they are available in other dimensions. We can upload to God and receive downloads from God.

We must learn to operate in the technicalities of our Faith and recognize the processes of those technicalities.

Our Owner’s Manual is the Bible and our Instructor is the Holy Spirit and we must be willing students.

This is very thought-provoking. I could definitely relate to it. It boggles my mind how certain things work, but that doesn't stop me from using them. Just because we don't understand God, we shouldn't just dismiss him and not use him. I've only read a handful of stories so far but there have been several that compared prayer to uploading. However, I think you approached it in a fresh way. I enjoyed it.

A very well written piece! I liked the viewpoint you took of not jsut comparing technology processes with how God does it but adding the dimension of how we accept the human technological ones and tend to doubt God. A very clever and thought provoking point.

This was very enjoyable to read - thanks!

This was well written and profound.
