Flip flopping, deciding if I should speak or if I should wait for God to speak. I can only help the situation. At the rate of things, God is going to speak anyway, and I have the time. Besides, when God speaks, a lot of ears will close and wither up.
Most people are aware that idols (made of wood, or whatever material) are worthless. Praying to a Coke bottle to save my crops is pointless. This was a very tall mountain for this world to overcome, but the world managed to do it.
Unfortunately, the world was swindled and so exchanged one type of idol for another. They were fooled and swindled, quite easily actually.
Religion, preachers, bibles, qurans, etc. provide wood, nails, gold, and instructions - and they leave it up to your mind, your imagination, to do the rest. It's likely that all you know about God is what you have read and what you have heard - nothing more. This is idolatry.
Instead of building God out of wood and nails, and overlaying it with gold, people have done this in their heads - dictating to themselves what God is and what God isn't. This is a lie, this is make-believe, this is a powerful imagination doing what it does.
Some people catch on, and they realize that God is the sum of what they've read, what they've heard, and how it all made them feel.
Some people have even been so fooled by religion and her preachers and her books, that they have said to themselves, "If that thing I served is no God, then there is no God."
Religion still has the upper hand here, your preacher still holds the trump card, because you have let them define all that God could ever be. You have been fooled too.
God defines God - and not with human tongue.
