BOX 1. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY! Well, there is probably a “better way” than the way things are done in many area of our lives. If we refuse to shift our habits and thinking, newness cannot come. Change isn’t change until you change. People in this place are saying, “It works! I don’t need to change!” Yet, they toil… unnecessarily because of an inability to take a chance to do something differently.
Escaping Pitfalls as Scribes & Artisans
Submit Prophetic Words & Articles to our mailing list.
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.

Introduction
If you haven’t already done so, I want to encourage you to take a look at the blog, “The Idolatry Chart.” In it, Holy Spirit quickened me to identify five prevailing types of idolatry that is plaguing Babylon (the world system) and our local congregations. Each of these forms of idolatry take the place of “God, our Father in Heaven” in the lives of individuals suffering from their effects. If not exposed, confronted and overcome, those affected will begin to reap corruption, deceive others and become consumed by their own deceptive world.
People of God, we are constantly being called to awaken to truth.
