Can the gifts of the Holy Spirit effectively work anymore with the distractions of modern technology?
This is a real question I’ve been pondering lately. Is online technology creating such a distraction in our minds that we can’t hear the Holy Spirit or allow it to work in our lives anymore?
It seems to me that since the advent of television, the gifts of the Holy Spirit have been declining to the point of near obscurity in our modern world.
I’m sure unbelief in the Holy Bible and the ramping up of sin in the world have caused the decline as well, yet aren’t these caused mostly by modern technology?
Essentially, the programming from TV and online channels has taught people what to believe, and these mediums are so powerful, they’ve cast a strong spell over the nations to believe nearly everything they say.
It seems television and online technology have been rolled out on purpose to have the effect of nullifying the Holy Spirit, which operates by faith in the Holy Bible.
I’m just speculating, but I don’t think the gifts of the Holy Spirit are hardly working anymore because believers have become distracted by technology. We no longer have that quiet space in our minds where the Spirit can work.
Healing, prophecy, deliverance of demons, and speaking in tongues are some of the main gifts being nullified in believers as their minds become constantly distracted by technology.
The last time the gifts worked in crowds of believers was in the early 1900s. The Azusa Street revival, the Welsh revival, A.A. Allen, Smith Wigglesworth, etc.
Yet, this was before TV. After the television, we may hear of the gifts working through individuals like Henry Gruver, Nickie Pinson, and other older believers, yet it’s becoming rarer to hear about any of the gifts working, especially in younger people.
Yes, there are many false or deceived believers claiming they are prophets or healers, that they are operating in the gifts, but are they really? Can we believe some prideful YouTuber who is claiming this and that with no evidence? Many people say they hear from God, etc., yet how many really do, and are they immersed in online technology or free from it?
I believe there are older believers who hear from God, yet do younger believers operate in the Spirit still, those born into technology? I haven’t heard or found any that do, not to the same degree as before television.
This brings me back to the question: can the Holy Spirit still operate effectively in believers with online technology distracting them?
It seems the stimulus from online technology is too powerful for the quiet needed for the Holy Spirit to work. I think this is what the enemy intended by rolling out technology in these end times, in addition to controlling us with it.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
