Are you really a publisher?
I pray that you really meditate on this question for a minute. Think outside of what our mind tells us a “publisher” really is and consider it from a biblical, Hebraic perspective. Think back in time when there was no “industry” for publishing and all you had was a man’s mouth and those highly unique “memory and story telling skills.” How would “publishing” have been defined during this time.
For months now, Father has been challenging my thought processes as I pursue thinking from a perspective of living “inside the word” verses from a perspective of trying to “apply the word” to my western thought process. In doing so, Holy Spirit has been keeping me up at night bringing forth understanding.
People of God…. Scribes of the Most High God….
Publishing as we know it today didn’t exist during the time of Moses, in the times of Christ or even in the times of the Apostles. There were no libraries, book stores and very few organized schools. The schools that did exist were for the very, very elect… and they didn’t have books at all! Yep, that’s right. Books are a very modern concept, especially as it relates to our BIBLICAL scribal history.
EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was based on the RELEASE of the spoken word and its proven publication was in the acknowledgement of its RELEASE and the actions that were carried out as a result of that Word. Doesn’t that sound like what happened when God first said, “Let their BE… and then things were?”
In The Scribal Anointing Training & Demonstration Manual, we cover the spiritual meaning of “publishing” in great detail. We constantly remind scribes that TRUE PUBLISHING is actually LIVING THE WORD. Remember, the scriptures tell us that we are called to be “LETTERS” of the “WORD OF GOD” — not written with INK, but with the Spirit. In other words, we are to PUBLISH with our LIVES… our RIGHTEOUS LIVING. It is out of that HOLY RIGHTEOUSNESS that we WRITE the tangible…. and release the tangible side of publishing into the earth realm.
Father wants to change our thinking…. and change our hearts. So many times, we disconnect the “mindset” from the “heart” when in fact, it’s the heart — that desire to want what God wants — that influences the mind. SCRIBES! This message is FOR YOU!
You see, so many write out of a place of compromise because they ARE NOT SEEKING TO BECOME THAT LETTER that is written in SPIRIT! Instead, they are seeking to remain in the natural… holding on to that pharasitical and rebellious scribal position that angered Christ in Matthew 23.
The PROPHETIC SCRIBE must come to see PUBLISHING in a different light. They must come to see their life as the TRUE BOOK! AND OUT OF THAT TRUE BOOK…. we are to WRITE what Heaven releases!
You see, Psalms 139 tells us that God has written all of our days in a book. Hebrews 10:7 tells us that WE MUST COME IN THE NAME OF THE BOOK that is written for us. I promise you, Scribes of the King, that BOOK… has very little to do with a best seller…. or that story conceived in your intellect or your place of reason…
When our desires mirror the desires of Heaven…. then the very LETTER OF GOD…. those scrolls…. will flow from us that mirror the heat of the Father whether we’re writing novels, poetry, skits, children’s books or prophecy. In the Kingdom, genre is irrelevant. Father’s word can come in ANY FORM it chooses.
Father is saying to us today, “CHANGE your perspective of publishing to my perspective of publishing. YOU are a PUBLISHER OF MY WORD by HEAVEN’S STANDARDS… not the standards of men and their systems and processes. Recognize that I set no boundaries on what qualifies the published Word…. as YOU ARE MY PUBLISHER in the earth realm born of water and of Spirit.”
One of the definitions of publishing in Hebrew is this: “To carry by many different means.” Guess what? You, the TRUMPET OF THE LORD, are the carrier. You are the SHOFAR in the earth realm…
The question of the hour is this: “What is blowing from your LIFE?” It’s not just about what comes out of your mouth. It is ALSO about the instrument that carries it.
Get free today! A publisher, in the Kingdom, isn’t simply a person who get’s a license to open a “publishing company” or even a “person who publishes a book.” It goes far deeper than this in the spirit realm… and it’s impact is generational. HOW YOU LIVE… speaks to the kind of publisher you are before God’s people.
Father is saying, “Did I not say you are to be a letter… not written in INK…. but written by the Spirit? My son CAME in the name of the book that is written for Him… and now beloved, you must come in the name of the book written for YOU!”
PUBLISH… what you see…. and what I show you… (video, audio, paintings, drawings or other art forms, symbols & books)
Father, I pray for a Holy demolition in the minds of your scribes…. and a Holy reconstruction …. suited for the plans and purposes you have for them in the earth. In Jesus Name. Amen
