In the 10th paragraph of my preface, I wrote God’s channels of vision resembling film slides in my head. This is how I can best describe it to you, my readers. God flashes visions in my mind no more grandiose than you’d flip film slides on a projector. I’ve met a few people like myself who prophesy on this basis wherein God is using us as screen. We’re the white canvass bearing God’s expressions or images of people and/or things He wishes to communicate to us and other people. He wants us to show a roomful of people, realistically the whole world, pictures of His Kingdom. A word, phrase or sentence always accompanies His pictures just like a narrator would tell what the pictures he is showing are all about. The prophetic mind brings into sharp focus pictures that are a bit blurred then it joins with the accompanying word, phrase or sentence so that together the rest of message may be drawn from the Holy Bible, strictly from memory. When I was curiously reading the Holy Bible on the Path Trains to and from work the whole year of 1987, I had no such idea my poor memory retention was going to come to this kind of retrieval. And how! Amd I glad I read the Holy Bible, from beginning all the way to the end. It makes my prophetic job for the Lord a bit easier. Prophecy is a practicable spiritual gift that, like, the others, when used a lot becomes a habit or a skill. A prophetic word, phrase or sentence when coupled with the light of the Word of God, the Holy Bible, begins to sound so much like words of wisdom. I don’t think I already have the Gift of the Holy Spirit of Wisdom because I get a bit ishy at times (childish and foolish). And whenever I think wisdom, I immediately associate it with King Solomon…but I’m no Queen of Sheba. Many times, God’s channels of vision is a whole film of motion picture on a screen & that screen happens to be me. Sometimes I can’t get a handle on it for a pause. Can you imagine what goes on in my screenhead? I pray Lord, slow down. It’s hard trying to store all of them & still having to remember God’s messages in the order that they appear so that I may prophesy accordingly. But hard or not, God is paying me to keep this screenhead clean and strong. God projects a motion picture in my screenhead often at bedtime & at mass. From what I see, God wants to tell us an awesome lot of things, little of which I’ve managed to grasp & magnify in this book for you. I’ve begged God to allow me to pick up only easy and few facets from every slide or film He projects in me from which He wants me to prophesy. During daily mass, I receive 3 slides, but more often than not some 2 of more sneak in. They’re too good for just commercials. If anything, they’re urgent news. I can’t be blind when I know I can see. I can’t ignore messages when they mean so much. Inasmuch as television broadcasters are paid to deliver their network news, I’m paid by the Holy Spirit to prophesy up-to-date news of our times as His assessment He would reveal to me. Along with our times, discipline seems to be fading away except, I imagine, in rigorous training institutions ilke the military, seminary, rectory & convent. Of course, one doesn’t have to belong to these institutions to have some discipline in his/her life. I, for one, strongly believe prophecy is a discipline (just like fasting). Although it may be habit-forming & developed into sharpened skill, prophecy is, most of all, a discipline. For instance, it’s humanly impossible to pause every slide or motion picture that comes to my head like an amateur photographer would try to freeze a fast-moving object on a 1000 ASA of a camera. Through the years, I’ve begged God’s permission after which I’ve learned to focus better on one slide at a time like using a zoom lens on a clearer & slower motion with which comes automatically a message. Unless I discipline myself in this manner, I could literally go berserk trying to decipher everything that comes across my head. In an attempt to screen only those that have any significant bearing on the redemptive value of Christ’s suffering & dying for us, I’ve learned to shut my eyes only at consecration & communion, sometimes at the end & open them throughout what’s actually going on at mass. The reason I watch attentively is I want to be as realistic as the priests offering Christ, our victim, for our sins. I don’t want to sneak-preview a show when they & everybody else are wide awake. Because when I shut my eyes, it’s riding on rainbows. God comes on to me as realistic as I would view a movie after which I’d like to relate this interesting story to other people. But when He uses me to relate His story, He wants me to tell it, write it, act it, direct it & then produce it just like Hollywood. Obviously, in this case, the producer of my efforts are the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the people whom I have successfully led back to God, of whom I have gained respect & whose conversion I have fostered from bad to good on a scale of -1 to 10 (that includes myself).
