"ROGER....WILCO"

You may already know this history, but I God has shown me how my prayer life can be changed by it's application.

During the war in the Pacific with the Japanese in World War II (WWII) …many of the Japanese had been educated in American and could speak fluent English. The Japanese used this knowledge and ability to create chaos for our forces early in the fighting. They would intercept American forces radio transmissions and give false orders to send American artillery and planes to attack American soldiers....creating sabotage with the radio.

Our American soldiers, sailors and airmen soon discovered the Japanese, couldn’t pronounce fluently words with R’s very well….so to combat their sabotage, in radio transmissions “ROGER” became “I Understood your transmission”….and was required during the transmission. If you didn't say "ROGER", it was assumed your were the enemy.

Another form of radio transmission was used. The word “WILCO” is short for “I WILL COMPLY". So you can easily say "ROGER...WILCO"....it means "I understood what you said and I will carry it out or comply with your request."
Answering with the word "OVER" means "I AM FINISHED TALKING, NOW YOU CAN SPEAK."
Answering with with the word "OUT" means the transmission - "COMMUNICATION TERMINATED"...in short, "I am finished talking to you."

Our Heavenly Father sends us transmissions - messages all the time during our prayer, bible study, lessons and sermons. He reminds us His Word and His plan to reach out to dying world. He reminds us of His love and care. He asks us to serve Him and grow His Kingdom. He reminds me of the duty of Godly Dad and husband and how I will be held accountable for those tasks.

I am afraid I understand what He is asking me to do for Him, but perhaps I answer "ROGER...OUT". "I hear you and understand what you want, but my will is too strong and I have grown tired of the conversation."

There is only way I should ever answer the LORD of the universe, creator of Heaven and Earth when He speaks....

"Father, ROGER...WILCO".
....I understand and will comply with your will....Here I am, your servant, mold and make me useful for your kingdom.

"Roger,Over and Out."
