2025: God’s Voice, Amplified
3 Dec 2024
Kelly sends another picture to our chat group following her discovery of V in Exponentiation:
What she circled in red means that the exponentiation will result in squares, the higher the exponentiation, the bigger the Chinese character 口, the mouth.
I remarked that if it gets to 45 square, the 口 (mouth) will be huge!
Then, I immediately thought to myself:
V, the Voice of God will be exponentially amplified, forty-five times louder to be exact, than any voice or sound. It will be deafening!
I look it up again, the word “Exponentiation”.
This time, on the online dictionary:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/exponentiation (emphasis mine)
- “In a mathematical equation) the use of an exponent to raise the value of the base number to a power”
- the raising of a number to any given power.
Amen. The Voice of God will be raised up high in 2025! It will be heard far and wide. It will be loud and powerful.
The Story of V?
A thought also crossed my mind, and rattled my heart a little - perhaps it is time to release His book, tentatively named “The Story of V”. I have put it into cold storage for more than ten years after it was completed, waiting on God as He waits for people and nations.
It is very much a travel book where I learnt how to hear the Voice of God, with interesting and sometimes bewildering outcomes. He showed me His heart and His take for each city, each country, that He led me and my companions to, and then to do what He tells us to do.
But I also encountered some of the toughest spiritual warfare I have experienced in my entire Christian life in writing it. My ghost writer, Mel, testifies to it in the epilogue of the book:
“In the course of ghostwriting this book, I discovered how broken I was. One night, I sat on the floor, crying, shaking in fear and sadness. I had had this feeling before, long before I started this assignment. But now I was shocked by the intensity of it … after months of numbness, thawing, healing, growing.
After experiencing God time and time again, in new ways, in new cities.
Here I was …
[Still?!] undeniably broken.
The journey felt so long. I had faced so much resistance in writing this book – from people, from the enemy, from my own fears. It felt like I had been stumbling through fire and rain for months, though I had also been very well looked after.
Right at that moment, my fatigue and exasperation overshadowed my gratitude.
I took a chance and prayed. What do you see, God, when You look at me? Are you disappointed? Mad?
Did He regret letting me write this book with Sarah (a woman whose faith and character, in my eyes, deserved a better ghostwriter!)
I heard His reply in my heart. A woman, healed and whole. I saw His love.
I looked away. How could it be?
I was not doing well on every level – physically, mentally, emotionally, possibly even spiritually.
A lot of my journey with God to date can be thus summed up:
- God says the impossible
- I don’t believe it, or I hate what I hear, or I don’t care about His purposes when I have my own things to reckon with
- I run away
- God chases me without forcing Himself on me
- I realise my big goof up and fall gratefully back into His arms
Looking back on the whole journey of writing I can only laugh. So many memories defy [even my relatively ‘creatively bent’] logic! There have been many fun hours, ‘aha!’ moments of insight, crazy adventures – and, of course, TEARS! It has been very hard and very good.
And I’m just so glad and honoured that I get to journey and write this with Sarah.
Perhaps the best thing is to know that in such a crazy world, true love and good and power DO exist.
And that this source of all things good and redemptive, this God, is more than a deity – He is love!

Wow, as I revisit what Mel had penned, my heart leaped with gratitude and joy. He chose her to write it for her personal healing as well. She now lives, happily married, in New Zealand, with three young children.
Thank you Lord for this adventurous journey You had put us on, which, by the way, is still continuing. I have set this book aside for years as instructed, perhaps for Your people to awake from their drunken stupor, before they can fathom what You are trying to tell us.
So, Lord, is it time yet?
Are we there yet?
