WRITE IT
Recently the Lord really spoke to me clearly about the year to come. I asked the Lord what will happen 2012? He said write it. What? Write it, what does that mean. Than it hit me, I will have what I write.. By no means am I a gifted writer but i desire to write. I felt a little intimidated thinking of who might read my STUFF. Truth be told it's not about what everyone thinks. In fact, its about sharing your heart, vision, victories, failures, hopes, and faith. Not everyone may read it but if one reads it and it inspires that person, thats awesome. Look what the Prophet Habakuk, (boy that was hard to say and write) said: Then the LORD answered me and said: “ Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
I believe that if it was important for the prophet to write, why would it not be important for us to write also. We are the prophets of our own destiny. Don't leave your life to chance, its to precious. Be intentional, and purposeful about your life. The psalmist David said; "My tongue is the pen of a ready writer". Believe it or not every time you speak your writing on the canvas of your heart. Writing is for people who are serious about being intentional with their God given grace in life.
Look what was written about Abraham, the father of the faith: (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”). Did you read this? He would be a father of many nations because it was written. As if thats not good enough look what it continues to say: "Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead". I believe what you write can affect you but also your children and your children's children. However my favorite example is Jesus: And He was handed the book of theprophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found theplace where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant andsat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today thisScripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” So all bore witness to Him,and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of Hismouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
I believe this is powerful because it tells us that God the Father had a plan for His son's life. To the point that He was willing to have His prophets write about it. What's funny is that people thought he was just Joseph's son. People might think your just another John Doe, but when they see you walking in your purpose they will be astonished. You can tell them, didn't you know, it has been written about me. Recently I told our church to start witting, even blogging and believe your life has meaning enough to write about. Who ever reads this I want to challenge you through this blog to write. However don't write to impress but to inspire. Pastor
