Are you writing an ANGRY book?

Have you read an angry book lately? Have you seen an unforgiving play, a mocking skit or a mean monologue (or sermon for that matter)? The answer for most of us is YES, as this is actually quite common. On any given day content is published with malicious or manipulative intent. Among the congregation, it’s a “I’m-gonna-get-em” mindset — as if we can avenge God or any wrongs done to us or him. This, however, should not be the case for the prophetic scribe, and this article explores why.

First, we need to define what is meant by the phrase I share here: “angry book.” An angry book could be any scribal project completed by an author that is not drenched in the LOVE of God, meaning saturated with the desire to bring forth reconciliation. It is a project that drips with offense, anger, unforgiveness, PRIDE, SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS or some other out of control emotion that has the potential to wound or devastate the souls of men. While this might not be a big deal in Babylon – meaning the world system, it is of deep concern to us.

Book Review: The Greatest Well Digger in the World by Tokunbo Emmanuel

The rich tradition of family and beautiful African storytelling is displayed vividly in Tokunbo Emmanuel’s latest release, The Greatest Well Digger in the World: He Knows the Path to Highest Joy. For a little over an hour, I lost time and willingly immersed myself in the life of the main character, a young girl named Marnina. Through the prophetic eyes of the author, I journeyed through her childhood before she became the woman whom Christ met at “The Well” and set free from a life of sin.

What makes this parable unique is that the author steps into his Holy imagination as if carried by the Spirit to give readers the back story – painting a very realistic picture that shows how a young girl full of life and enormous dreams could find herself living a life riddled in shame.

Marnina’s script enters and exits scenes of the country side and lifestyle of the villagers of Sychar and flows with life as we meet her close knit family; learn about how women suppressed their dreams because of obedience to tradition; and how her natural father, who received a word from God concerning her destiny, fueled her hopes and dreams – even through the tremendous tragedy and pain she encountered throughout life.

Praying For Dry Places (2)

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

Dry Places: Theresa Harvard JohnsonCopyright 2014 Theresa Harvard Johnson

Dry places.

There will be many of them in our walk with the Lord. They often represent rocky valleys, deserted roads, long stretches of highway and lonely places in our lives – meaning, they are bone dry, free of people and all other outside influences. Mostly, they are viewed negatively by those walking through them, and primarily from the perspective of immense hardship.

The bottom line is this: There are many different kinds of dry places relayed to us in the scripture – some brought on by sin and others resulting from warfare. Then, there are the kinds of dry places that we seek out – because we recognize our need for a deliverer. The incarnate Yeshua presented this valuable truth to us in his three and a half year ministry in the old Jerusalem.
