Are you on autopilot fly out of contol?

Who is @ the controls?

As a radio control airplane flies, it is in perfect unison... flying through the air, being freed from the grips of this world... powered by a source and giving thanks to be able to do something that is awesome.

So, there are three things that are behind the concept of being able to fly a remote control airplane.
1. Theres the controller.
2. Theres the radio transmission.
3. Then theres the reception to be able to execute what the controller desires.

If any one of these criteria fails, the plane is going to do a nosedive into a big pile of destruction.

So, if the controller is perfect... and the transmission is perfect... what can fail?
- That would be the vessel.

If there is a malfunction in the plane, or if it becomes hijacked, or decides to fly independent of the controller- there is always a sense of rejection... or disappointment in not being able to control the airplane.

The controller is Jesus.
The radio transmission is the Holy Spirit.
The vessel is us. The ability to be able to receive the transmission is a gift.

Imagine all of us are flying around. Some of us are flying our own plane, captaining the flight making all the decisions and free roam. But, how many of us have given up our own itinerary to fly in accordance to a plan that is available and already predestined and set for us- if we surrender to it?

But, can't we just have fun and have the ability to have free-will? God gives us Liberty to go out on our own and live... to do some barrel rolls or flips. But w/out Love or radio transmission, we are just going about our own flight plan in self-righteousness. So, it is still important to be w/in range of the radio frequency, because there are going to be places where the controller just doesn't want us to go- though sometimes we go out of range and begin to live according to our own ways.

The transmission is always there- not to say that I have always been in range... even in recent history. And when I do find myself out of range (w/out knowing), I can testify that I have flown into a few trees here and there. So, I go back to say that I did a wrong and seek the correction to my faultiness in order to seek how the controller desires for me to fly in my free will.
