Poor Reception.

The Spirit moves. Imagine there's a radio station broadcasting on the frequency you've selected, but the transmitter isn't close enough. There's a station somewhere trying to connect with you. Trying to bring you the talk, music, news, and commercials its staff had created and sent out onto the airwaves. You're just not close enough to hear it. If you were to dial into a station that plays gentle, quiet music clearly you can hear it right? The signal is crisp and clear but most importantly, you're close enough so that you can hear it. 


God is not far away. He's near. god has set up camp in your neighborhood. Your room. Your life. 
If you've committed your life to him, you can believe he's there in the person of the Holy Spirit. It's a promise. 


Acts 2: 37-39

 37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
