When I first came to the Lord, things were so simple.
All I wanted to do was experience the Lord, stand in His presence, hear Him and experience the hope of new life. In many ways my experience was like a new romance and I didn’t want that feeling of perfect euphoria to go away.
In those first few months, at least for me, it was like “perfect love, perfect acceptance and a perfect hope” had settled into my heart snuggly. Not every son has had this specific type of experience, but all who Love the Lord have experienced those moments of perfect love. And in those moments… God is simple! He is not the complicated deity “our maturity” makes Him out to be.
Now is the time for many to strategically enter the next phase of their educational journey (JD, PHD, Doctoral, etc) and training initiatives in certain, professional specialty areas like advocacy, political science, chaplaincy, counseling, medicine, etc.
There are “special opportunities” that have opened up and will open up in this season that “offer and present” these opportunities in a learning environment condusive to schedules, lifestyles, budgets, etc. that have not previously existed.
The Lord has been speaking to me about the time that we are in right now as prophetic scribes. I thought today was an ideal time to share this encouraging word with you. I believe it applies to those who have earnestly wanted to pursue educational and entrepreneurial goals but were met with setbacks, closed doors, and tremendous discouragement.
I heard Father say, “A fresh release of The Scribal Anointing® is falling upon youth and young adults between the ages of 13 and 24.”
If you are leading prophetic scribes in this hour, be purposely attentive mindful of the creativity and uniqueness of young people who are being pulled toward technological innovation. There is a group emerging with genius thought and savant insight in some overlooked and uncommon technological areas in the local congregation. The Lord is positioning them as catalysts to revolutionize our understanding of media in the congregation and pioneer in new technologies in our day in “the scribal realm.”
I have met many prophetic scribes who have been pigeonholed.
To be pigeonholed is to be placed in a definitive box full of labels you can’t escape. Everyone around you can only “see you” from that boxed in view.
This is easy to understand when we think about the role of actors in plays, movies, and skits. There are many in our history who have found themselves typecast to certain roles.
Well, it can happen in all areas of scribal ministry.
