Have you ever wondered why your book projects don’t just take off? Or why you have this phenomenal flow of writing one day, and then weeks pass by before you ever write again? Well, in the world system people will say you have writer’s block; but in the realm of the SPIRIT OF THE LORD, this meaning can be so much deeper.
This isn’t a very long note, but I wanted to bring some things to your attention that you may want to consider when the Lord places books in your heart. We are not talking about any type of Christian writing, but “prophetic” writing.
Now, there are many here who are writing books and other things — but not all of them are inspired by the Holy Spirit. This isn’t necessarily negative, it just places your projects in focus. For example, some of the articles I wrote in the past were articles I was “hired” to write — mostly author profiles, interviews and such. While I had the skill and know-how, I can honestly say they were not “inspired by God” — but rather part of my job description.
When we talk about “prophetic writings,” we are only speaking of those projects FROM HEAVEN that have been pulled down into our spirit for the purpose of earthly release to accomplish a Godly goal. The notes below are tailored for THESE types of writings. When people think “prophetic, they often think of the supernatural or something indepthy deep and spiritual. Well, we ARE talking about the supernatural… but the writings in and of themselves simply convey the will of God as already documented in His Word.
So, as you move forth in the things of God and find yourself getting frustrated; or not understanding what is going on inside you or with your project — consider these points that I’ve mentioned below. YOU ARE a prophetic writer. So unlike other writers, your directions and instructions MUST come from the spirit.
