Default Re: The Bible record describes God leading people into and out of things

Although this is a mystery, Witness Lee's analogy to electricity is not bad. However, I think my analogy to the internet is probably better.

To access Amazon.com you would use your computer (your spirit) which is connected to the internet via a router (The Spirit) and your router is connected to Amazon's servers via a transmission service (Jesus) which connects my computer to the worldwide web (God the Father)

It's good but I think there is another way to describe it. Your spirit is the computer and clicking your computer mouse is how to "exercise your spirit". God is Google.com because it answers your questions and tells you what to do. Jesus is the router which connects you to the Father (to Google.com) because no man may access Google without the router. The Spirit is the data which travels to your computer via the router from Google.com.

God wanted us to access the internet so badly that He gave us His only router so that by connecting it and configuring it properly we may have unlimited high speed internet.

Why bother praying? Just ask Google.
