The Random Object Game

Twice fairly recently, two different people have brought random objects into a room, and asked a group of Christians to pray, think about any of the objects, and see whether God will talk to you through them. Whether it is about learning about God more, or giving insight into situations of people around you, I haven't seen something as effective for me personally as this for quite a while. Not everyone heard anything, of course, but the way God just worked in those rooms was impressive.

What was it about having random objects, which brought that out? Most of the ideas in the first time linked, none of the ideas coming from it obvious... Why did God decide to use this?

To be fair, we don't normally open ourselves up just to receive. and If we do, normally it is just asking God for stuff, without having an object or something to focus on. There must be an element of God using our imaginations, or something.

For me, It was a load easier to hear from God focussing on an object rather than having a mental stalemate in my head, constantly thinking, give me something God, and not giving him a chance to answer before I ask him again. I'm guessing it's easier for me to hear from god when I'm focussing on an object, because I let God have a chance of getting through.

People who normally wouldn't dare speak up when it came to saying prophecies, either because they con't hear or bottle it when about to stand up, said stuff quite freely in a small group. I really enjoyed it. If no-one has tried this before I'd give it a go to see what happens. if you do, and it works, tell me. And tell me why you think why. If not, the same.
