We do not need Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Parler, YouTube, Instagram, Amazon, Netflix, or any other media to see another great awakening come to America. Twenty years ago, we would not miss them. No. God does not need those things but can use them. If we are reduced to only being able to use telephone landlines or short-wave radio communications, would that be a hindrance to God? The fires of true Revival are always ignited within the hearts of a few and then spreads to the many. God is not limited by nor does He have an advantage with such tech and media. God is God. He is the advantage plus far more than we can imagine. Thank God, He does reveal His limitlessness to us by His Spirit as revealed in Christ (1 Corinthians 2). Paul and Silas only had a voice and a song while in prison, but it was obvious they had all of Heaven as an audience. This is God’s way:
"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Prayers (in our own understanding and in the Spirit), petitions, supplications, cries, tears, and groanings that cannot be uttered coupled with fasting and thanksgiving are God's tech. These things do not fail and cannot be monopolized or controlled by the powers that be. Around these things, God's people will unite. Even if we fail in these things, God’s judicial system never fails. Those who are not redeemed by Him are already judged by Him. We can even feel safe with assurance from Him during the execution of His judgments.
God would move Heaven and earth for those who are loyal to Him even if He had only one option like Abraham as a friend in the earth. His great mercy, wisdom, love, and zeal fuels His purposes and the advancement of His Kingdom. He does not need one hundred megabits per second of high-speed internet. He has God-speed.
This is God’s www:
An innumerable company of angels, the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, God as the Judge of all, the spirits of just men made perfect, Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:22-24).
