Am I a Prophetic Scribe or Writer? (2)

In Voices of Christ, we use the scriptural term “prophetic scribe” to describe who we are as literary ministers in the midst of our faith. The reason behind this is basic. The term prophetic, as used here, simply means: The ability of a believer to hear and interpret what the Lord places in their heart.

The understanding of the word “scribe” in the culture of the Kingdom describes a function within the congregation of the Lord that encompasses a wide range of gifting — not just the call to write. Whereas the term writer simply denotes someone who writes (a singular function). You can differentiate the type of writer, but it doesn’t change the fact that a writer IS a writer.

Word of the Lord: Why won’t you scribe for your King?

Word of the Lord & Vision

This morning in my worship and prayer time, Father spoke to me specifically about The Scribal Anointing resting on His apostles and prophets. Because of the role these offices and functions play among the congregation, Father decided to speak directly into their specific ministry call — whether from the mantle of a scribe or simply the directive to record specific messages.

The Word of the Lord came to me saying: “Truly, I release my Word to them in this hour. I have unfolded and continue to unfold the mysteries of the Kingdom before them – showing them what was, what is and what is to come.

Obediently, they release what I give them orally and accurately convey what I present before them in the realm of the spirit. Yet, they are not creating a record of what I speak or what they see – though I urge them, and push them. Over the progression of time, much is lost – stolen, forgotten. Prophet, remind them of their command to record. Remind them of the necessity of their obedience in this area. Truly, I am releasing to them the answers to prayers, unfolding the strategies of Heaven, and preparing them and those to whom I am sending them in this very hour. I desire to trust them with greater.”

Word of the Lord: The House That God Built

(This Word of the Lord comes from a dream, its interpretation, prophetic insight and the Word of the Lord.)

THE DREAM SEPT. 3

This morning, I had a dream just before I awoke. In it, I was on my knees praying and interceding fervently in my Holy language. My arms were wrapped across my belly as I bent over with my head lowered. My intercession was intense and as I prayed my body shook with every utterance – like a person releasing deep, pent up uncontrollable sobs.

I was watching myself in this dream – on the outside looking in so-to-speak. I was dressed in this long, flowing white raiment. There was not a single part of me that was visible or uncovered beneath this garment, even my feet were sealed. There was this beautiful radiance or glow around me in an unbearably bright, almost blinding environment. Yet, I had this intense feeling of safety, security and overwhelming love all around me.

As I observed myself, I remember questioning where I was.

PART II: When Leadership Breaks Confidentiality & Trust (2)

Ma-tth-ew 11:28 CJB, “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

God promises healing!

Yeah, I know this is cliché… but it is the truth. Every believer who walks this journey will, at some point, either breach trust in the midst of a brother and sister in Christ or become the victim of breached trust. In truth, it’s what happens next that will determine how your particular circumstance plays out.

The question before you now is this: Can you allow God to walk you through it? Can you give up your perceived “right” to be angry and hurt?

There is absolutely no way the Lord is pleased with what has happened to you! Yet, the only way out of it is to determine – before the Lord that YOU will not live in your hurt, disappointment, distrust and brokenness. And as HARD as this may sound, “YOU do not have the right, in the eyes of the Lord, to hold on to the pain, the betrayal. That posture is just as much a sin as the sin done against you.”  (If you haven’t already done so, please read Part I: When Leadership Breaks Confidentiality & Trust)
