Catching the flow




A sister Eleen shared a vision which i feel prompted to illustrate. He said it could be really fast and simple so here it is. XD

A glorious crown, with river flowing out from it, but people are standing on the side looking at it.
I added an angel dancing in there (no it's not me. I should be the one kneeling on the floor)

I was moved by the Lord to kneel on the floor and pray to welcome his presence, as soon as the music started playing it's first note.

At one point, I see it in my vision feet of light... dancing around the center.
I felt an invitation to dance.

When the announcement was made, I knew people were still not at the place or feel uncomfortable about it. The Spirit was patient, though I did sense a little sadness from Him that though He made the invitation,  a lot of the hearts weren't ready, but He found happiness to those who can give Him the little bit they can. He knows how much each of us can give.

When Eleen shared her vision, the passionate tone she shared it with, conveyed to me how much God wanted us to know him and be in the flow of the Spirit.

He has been sending out invitations to join Him, and to know Him... I think for 3 times straight, every time we get a chance to speak on behave of the Spirit's prompting, it's been the same message: "Come to me, talk to me, speak with me, tell me what your heart desire and I will give it to you."

Yet, catching such a flow of God is a bumpy learning curve. We all have it. 
I will be first to admit I don't think I followed His intentions correctly when I sensed his first invitation, I also failed at other things He wanted me to do on Sunday, though I know He is not grieved by it. I know I failed at following His prompting. It was easy to think I could follow God, until He asked me to do things for real.

Then, I sensed He invited me, the second time, I joined with Yin Yin to respond to Him.
Yin Yin broke out a beautiful song in the Spirit.
I too joined her, I knew what I was singing, but I don't remember exactly... I will try to recap in spirit:

Aba, Aba, Father, Father
Aba Aba, Father, Father
We are here
Come see us
We are here
Come touch us
We are here
Come heal us
We are here

Show us your might
Show us who you are
Show us you are here

May Truth stand amongst us
May the Word stand amongst us


I know sometimes the Spirit may prompt me to do something I am entirely not comfortable with, there are times when I find it hard to follow his prompting thinking how I would look... like an idiot. I have a lot of face issue.

I would not be a good soldier if i can only follow 50% of my commander's order.... or only 70% of it. I guess I can only be compared to a baby who is learning to walk, walk one step, fumble on another, and God is alright with it.

A Change of Heart

While I originally wanted to illustrate what has happened to me recently, I think words can help as well.

Last week I had gone into church with a heavy burdened heart. I was very unhappy and God knew it. He showed me a sudden vision of a future me, so happy with love that I was in tears. Instantly, my heart lightened and I began to realize God's presence in my heart again. It had been quite some time since I had let him in and never before had I heard his voice so clear as in the next two visions.

He told me that the reason for my unproductive year was because I did not ask for his help in anything. I thought I could rely on my strength alone, but in the end I was fighting a losing battle. I needed to ask for help in my relationship, strength at my work, and inspiration for myself.

He told me that no earthly love could compare to his. He loved us so much and just wanted us to let him into our hearts. SIMPLE! No matter how much shame and sin we let into ourselves, he would always accept us.

Then he told me we are a people of fire, we need to be filled with the spirit (the fire) of him. And that we cannot be small fires. We needed to be completely enveloped in his spirit and let it burn in magnificence because when the "Winds" of the world and temptation that are testing us blow, we will not be extinguished but that the wind will fan our flames and build it so much that it burns everything around as well. That is how he wants us to spread his love.

God then prompted me to speak during the testimony time. However, I was afraid to speak in front of people...so I stayed silent. Christine went up and told the congregation "God is asking someone to speak." Still I was mute, thinking perhaps there is someone else she is talking about. But my heart pounded and I knew it was meant for me. After some time, as I still had not gone up, Christine went up again and said "God is still waiting for that person to come and speak!" I knew that it was meant for me and I needed to say what he told me. However...I was so moved by his prompting that as soon as I got to the mic I burst into tears and no one heard a completed sentence from me!

Well, this is my sharing of his words. I want to illustrate what he told me, because he used no words yet he spoke them to me beautifully.

All that I have is yours.

Before going on the stage to share, the feeling i could describe I had was... there was a stone on my heart, no, somewhat different from that, it also felt like there was someone pulling me to get out of my seat to share, I eagerly waited for the mic to be opened, and want to released these words in exchange for my relief.


"Everyone of you, a prayer warrior.
I want you to pray
and speak to me
All that your heart desires,
and I will fullfill them.

This church, will not be the church as you know it.
For I will bring revival of the fire in your heart.

All that I have is yours
I'm with you, should you choose to come close to me
I'm with you, every moment of your daily life
Come close to me

I'm with you, through your ups and downs, come close to me
Draw from me, the living well
All that I have is yours. "



My own reaction to this: God's message has been consistent, ever since the time my parents led with the Spirit, He has been saying:
Come close to me, tell me your heart's desire, and I will fullfill them.
I cried when "All I have is yours" was released to me. It hit me for some unknown reason.

First post

By Christine Chong

I felt moved by the Lord to start a simple blog to record any dreams, visions, prayers, messages from the HIC group, the goal of this blog is not to be maintained by one person, but a group of us. Others will be invited to join and post their inspirations, findings, and keep this blog going.
