Do You Hear A Who?

I went to see "Horton Hears a Who" last night and really enjoyed it. It's really a very creative idea, though we all think at some point in our lives "hey, maybe we're a speck in a much larger world, and they're watching us like fish in a fishbowl." At least I've definitely wondered that...but what set it apart for Seuss I think is the fact that he connects those two worlds and they're able to hear and speak to each other. Todays prophets are saying this is a word to the masses concerning abortion and that "a person is a person no matter how small." I totally agree with that angle. But I think for me, the best part was at the end when the Who's are trying to get enough sound out so the large people in that other world can hear them, they start singing "we're here" as loudly and with as much sound as they can. The sound waves start echoing into space, yet there is this barrier there blocking them from penetrating into the other world. Well, the Spirit started to speak to me about worship and how it changes the atmosphere around you. That's why I like singing on the Drill Field and other places b/c where you start sending waves into the air, that place is gonna change. You may not have immediate results but eventually something is gonna break. Back to the movie, the singing is going out into space but still it's not enough to break that barrier. Finally, one boy grabs a funnel and with all his heart, sings into it. That is the final straw. Something breaks in the atmosphere and all that sound goes tumbling into the other world. It's a picture of warring in the heavenlies. People give up too easily when it comes to prayer and worship in the heavenlies when their requests or partitions aren't answered right away. It takes perseverance until you press through that which hinders our voices from being heard and having effect. Like Daniel when he prayed for twenty-one days until Michael awas able to come to him (who had been hindered by the Prince of Persia). It's not that God doesn't want to move on our behalf but sometimes there are forces working to misdirect our praise and prayers. We have to continue on like those Who's...until something breaks.
