People ask me how I write so much and how do I know when it is time to write my books. Here is my answer.
My books speak to me.
- Situations are highlighted in my sight or hearing that demands recording. This begins to happen consistently, relentlessly.
- I wake up from the “scribal” dream realm with whole paragraphs and chapters in my book. Sometimes I SEE the examples I should write about in my dreams.
- I have encounters with God in MY scribal realm of dreams. I literally have a place God takes me in my dreams (heaven) to instruct me. It is a place I write about in my book on the scribal realm of dreams.
- Sometimes these huge angels open scrolls in my presence in dreams. When they do, I wake up with an unction to write that I cannot control. I have learned to “hold on to presence” when these encounters occur and write under the anointing until that unction leaves. I am able to navigate my life from a peace “during” that time so I can exit and re-enter. I pay close attention to the strong, overwhelming call to write.
- I find myself triggered to write by certain words or phrases around the same topic. For example, one week I kept seeing the word “faithful” absolutely everywhere. It’s like this word was stalking me in the natural and the spirit. I knew to sit down and free write, and pages of a book I am working on began to flow.
- People around me will “touch the subject.” They may be in a different stream but my hearing realm begins to expand as keys fall from their lips that flip into something I “instantly” put together.
- I just know. I can’t shake it. Sometimes my hands burn…. even if no words are known to me. I go write and I am not disappointed.
- I OBEY ALL UNCTIONS AND LEADING even if it means I can only respond for sixty seconds. I never let a thought slip from me when it’s highlighted.
- I literally “hear my books” like people see visions. Sometimes I post snippets of books on my fb posts. I talk about the hearing realm in my dreams and visions book.
The biggest catalyst is the consistency. When these things reach harassment level I know there is something I must complete or a finishing upon me. I begin to constantly hear my books speaks daily in the areas I shared.
I am not posting this to brag, but to help those who think random things are happening to them… to understand that they are actually experiencing “THEIR” scribal realm. You are not weird or crazy.
As far as writing “so much,” it is a call and response. It is prayer and response. It is sitting in the “writer’s anointing” until it lifts. There are all kinds of anointing a under the scribal anointing designated for prophetic scribes.
I am blessed to have trained my Spirit to stir that up, to enter it… and hold it when I write. I believe “prophetic writers”… with the right mentor… can learn to discern their scribal realm as I have.
I only have a few mentees that have mastered their own realm and can accurately respond and navigate it like a master. My course on Writing Prophets discusses how this is activated and nurtured based on The Scribal Anointing.
It is a spiritual discipline that scribes can obtain regardless of their lifestyle and challenges. Holy Spirit honors us and works within our lives TOWARD COMPLETION WHEN WE HONOR HIM IN US/BY THE SPIRIT.
