At cell group today, we were talking about "Waiting:Time with God". Lois said something that I found interesting. She said, "It's not that God cannot speak in a loud voice, it's just that He chooses not to."
I was like "Wow" and I closed my eyes.
I saw myself floating in space and I was confronted with a whole load of stuff floating in front of me. The one guiding thought in me at that time was "I want to hear what God has to say!" I concentrated really hard but I heard nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Then I floated toward the junk and started moving them aside. I would grab a piece and fling it backward and away from me (regardless the size of the piece). After flinging a few pieces away, I stopped to listen again and this time heard some faint scratching in the mess ahead of me. So I got back to my flinging.
Whenever I would stop the flinging to listen, I would hear muffled sounds that resembled more and more like speech. I got back to the flinging until all that was left was a tiny little speaker (the speaker looked like the speaker that Charlie used to speak to his Angels! go figure).
From that little box, with all the junk gone, me just beside the speaker, I could hear very clear speech.

God's Slingshot
We were at the Tuesday COR @ Prayer prayer meeting where Rev. Loong challenged us to pray 'Dangerous Prayers'. As we were praying, I received this vision from the Lord.
I saw the picture of God with His slingshot. He had a wonderful child like smile on His face, almost like He was enjoying playing. He would load up a "bullet", pull back and then fire away. The interesting thing was that He did not fire every "bullet". Sometimes, He would pull back all the way, then His face would lose the smile, then He would slowly release the tension from slingshot then gently place the "bullet" back on the ground.
I then focussed on the "bullets". I realised that the bullets were actually people. God would gently load them into His slingshot and then fire away!
Some of the people though would scream and shout out of fear. They would plead with God that they did not want to be shot out, that they were not ready yet. God would then speak encouraging words but yet they were unwilling to be shot out. God would then untension His slingshot and then place them on the floor gently.
Some of these fearful ones, upon hearing God's encouragement, calmed down and agreed to be shot out by God. They would close their eyes tight and fly out of the slingshot all clammed up in fear.
There was another group of "bullets" that when God loaded them on, they would smile and look ahead. They all had some measure of fear in them. Yet they flew out with eyes open!
As each bullet was fired out, there was always a look of fear and concern for the first section of the flight. This was the hardest part of the flight. The initial acceleration is tremendous! The fear is really evident in the cringed faces.
But once this section is done, a section of cruising happens, when the bullet looks around realises that he is really flying and soaring above the clouds. He also sees that the Holy Spirit is with him flying along side.
