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)

Yes, there is.

Prophetic writers are indeed Christian writers, meaning we believe fully in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (Yeshua). The difference, however, lies in our approach to writing and the focus of our ministry.

Before continuing, there are many writers who are indeed prophetic (writing and releasing the heart and mind of Father) who do not see the need to identify themselves as prophetic. They are simply following the inspiration of the Spirit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. As a people, we must walk within our own metron.

Christian writers, do you know who you are? It is Father’s desire in this hour to have each one of us come to Him for clarity and understanding concerning our call. There is such a NEED in the earth realm for Holy, set apart scribes of the King. As believers of Yeshua, we are literally living in Him — breathing, moving and having our being. Our pursuit is for a constant manifestation of His presence and demonstration of His power.

Consider that final sentence for a moment.

It is quite ironic that Christian writers live in anticipation of and under the power of words, yet are the very ones who walk in darkness concerning the terminology used to describe who they are and what they do. Truly, the adversary is shrewd and cunning in his deception. His tactics work so well that we often build our entire identities concerning our writing ministries on patterns set by this world’s educational system and deny the power in identity rooted firmly in the Lord — even taking offense. There’s this need to hang on to the literary merit system for dear life — including its labels, ideologies and beliefs even when they completely contradict the Word on so many levels.

Something is sorely wrong with this picture.

For those reading this article, I challenge you with this before reading any further: “Give Ruach Hakodesh, Holy Spirit, permission to help you read the remainder of this article from Father’s perspective. Ask Him to take away any places of offense or agitation as we move forward.” This is important, because I don’t want you to hear me or see me. I want you to question whether or not this message sounds like something Father would share with His writers — His scribes — if He were standing right here teaching and instructing us. Completely ignore the messenger and grab hold of the message — and listen, just for a moment, to what Father is presenting to you.

Over the course of my walk with the Lord, there have been so many things about the “Dream Realm” that have baffled me. (I don’t mean confused here, rather I am speaking to being left in a place of wonder.)  I can remember saying to the Lord: “Father, why don’t you just TELL ME what you want me to know directly, instead of speaking in the parables of a dream?”

Well, let me tell you something — Father WILL answer our questions. He reminded me of something I’ve written and taught for years from the book, The Scribal Anointing, based on Matthew 13:10-11, 13. (I only skipped verse 12 because I am not teaching on this part in this article.)

Setting A Foundation

I received a question today from a Believer. The question was simple, “How am I to know the truth (of God) from a lie?”

Before answering it, I want to make this statement: No believer, no matter how holy people may want you to believe they are, is above deception. While we are not to be paranoid, we are to constantly remain on guard against doctrines, practices, idolatry and beliefs that oppose the heart, mind and will of our Father in Heaven. Those who have been walking with the Lord a while as his “elect — meaning chosen” can fall prey to deception just as a “proselyte or a babe” can be deceived.

In other words, it is “possible” for any believer to fall prey to the lies of the enemy — regardless of who they perceive themselves to be; how long they’ve been saved; what they may be doing or where they think they are going at any particular moment in time.
