I suffered from rejection so severely in my life that I needed practical ways to overcome it. Prayer, healing sessions, prophecy and laying on of hands wasn’t working at the depth I needed — and my “rejected self” was ruining so many relationships and sabotaging friendships left and right.

There can be many obstacles blocking our path to successful book marketing and promotions as prophetic scribes. I believe one of those obstacles is reconciling how we view success.
There is so much pressure to be a public success and make tons of money. The publishing world around us in both sacred and secular environments have expectations that do not often fit well within our prophetic dimension.
We really need to reconcile this truth at prophetic scribes. This statement is not a limitation, but an opportunity to consider success from all avenues of our calling.
Doing so will help us develop a marketing and promotions plan that fits our spiritual objectives while also benefiting from our effort.
Prophetic scribes publish “first” for an audience of one. This simply means that our intention is to please the Lord. We also understand that the Lord has a people for his message. Our role is to clear the way for people to connect with that message.

Prophetic Word: Step Away, Examine the Blueprint
I heard this…
Beloved this is the season to step away and closely examine the blueprint I gave you BEFORE you began laying foreign design plans on top of it. Examine it… and by my Spirit determine how much of it is what I gave you is visible and how much of it is “you keeping up with the spiritual Joneses.” I have sent messengers to you, but you have closed the door because the insight opposed your present effort. Yet, I sent them to remind you of the blueprint… the one I imparted into your sight.
Prophetic Word: Be Anxious for Nothing
Released September 24, 2019
I heard this: Beloved, move desperation far from you in your decision making. Did I not say, “Be anxious for nothing?”
Anxiousness is “a pit” in this generation. It fuels desperate measures that cause my people to Make unsound decisions and fall prey to unscrupulous people as well as schisms and schemes.
Then I saw people who were desperate:
=making alignments to end inward loneliness (desperate for leadership/accountability and/or companionship)
=submitting to people just to fit in, get ahead (literally ignoring critical warning signs)
=giving people access “cart blanc” access to their lives, family and ministry because of their giving, gifting and ability (over divine appointment, character and spiritual maturity)
