There’s no musician again. This is the second time ever, and twice I was there. >.< However, I felt the atmosphere was different from the last meeting when we had no musician. Instead of music tunes bubbling from within the heart or the group to sing aCapella worship songs, it was a sense of quietness. Being still in the presence of the Lord and just pray.
*Is God teaching us to pray without being led by music & thus emotions, but to hear His voice in the quietness?
Anyhow, I felt the theme of our prayers was — God’s glory and grace; until halfway through, Robin decided to pray and prophesied over each one of us. A few of us in turn got the opportunity to pray for him as well.
What’s new for me is that, as Robin prayed for the individuals, I got a word/picture for them. I “saw” flowers, leopard, deep tree roots, etc.. Not literally, but something I felt in my heart. *An experential lesson from God, perhaps. Why? It’s because recently I am more exposed to people of the prophetic nature and sometimes do wonder, what it is like to “see” the things they pray about. Do they really see pictures in front of them? If not, how could they describe the pictures/visions with such vivid details.
As I “saw” those images, I didn’t immediately intercept him for fear of disrupting his prayer flow. Well, it’s not like I get visions for others. During the debrief, I had to trust what I felt/saw was from God and thus speak in faith over them. Amazingly, I can remember the word/picture for everyone, given my poor memory. Ultimately, whether what I said spoke to them or not, whether it’s true for them or not, the other party has to pray over it and test it out. At the end of the day, there’s a need for a dose of faith and discernment.
There were many other interesting things shared during the debrief.
Robin was sharing how when we were praying over Singapore, he saw two bowls. The first bowl was filled with God’s glory and cloud. It represented the revival that God is going to pour out according to the intercession of the saints. The other bowl was found to be empty. It represented the segments in the Body of Christ that have been found wanting in prayer and watching before the Lord. Indeed the Lord is calling us to watch and pray.
Then, one person shared that he had a vision of MRT stations in the city being flooded. And another jumped in to share that he and his friends noticed huge and thick flood doors at CityLink, near the Esplanade entrance, to prevent flooding. The government has anticipated what’s to come. But because of the doors’ size and weight, they will need some time before they are fully closed to keep out the waters. I have heard about so many people speaking about the great revival that is to come again to Singapore, that kind of made me forget that God can still judge Singapore.
Their conclusion: Intercede for Singapore.
