As I learn more about how God speaks to me and specifically how He is growing a gift of prophecy in me, I am fascinated.
The way the specific pictures (visions, whatever) that I get are really just a slight twist on reality. It feels like a day dream, but way more vivid. Like I can actually see it... not just imagine it.
Yesterday this happened to me and was the first in awhile. I was just sitting on the couch watching TV when to my left I "saw" smoke. The kind of smoke that comes when there is a large fire. I knew this was from God due to my immediate reaction. The thought that popped in my head was, "I think that when I withhold speaking truth it is like not telling someone I see smoke and there is a fire."
Upon thinking through it today, there is some truth I am keeping inside. The kind that could prevent a fire from happening. Kind of crazy.
