I’m declaring today, right now, at this moment….. I’m on a mission.
Not just any mission.
A mission to finish 2012, with one specific thing marked off my to-do list.
The one specific task I’m on a mission to finish is my book.
Well, I have a problem calling it “my book,” because it’s definitely the Lord’s project. He just so graciously decided to pull me in to work on it and get it into print.
I began to wonder last night, just how the original authors of various books of The Bible must have felt while they penned divine Words from the Lord.
I wonder …….if they felt the same sense of reverence I feel when I write under the unction of Holy Spirit.
I wonder …….when the overwhelming sense of the Father’s love overshadowed them, did tears start to stream down their face onto their written page.
I wonder …….if they knew just what immeasurable impact the words they wrote would have on countless lives around the world.
Perhaps the Father gave them a glimpse of their future, and they knew they were on a mission to get those words recorded.
So that is why I’m on a mission. The Father’s only given me a glimpse, but I must be obedient to follow through with what He has given me to do.
In the end….I am not my own.
So whatsoever it is that He has given you to do, do it!
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NKJV)
I love this! What beautiful thoughts of the “heart” and not the mind! This is exactly how we should all “feel” when reading the Bible. If we did feel this way, what great joy and peace we would have in our lives. Great post! God Bless, SR
I agree with you.
Great thoughts!! Love it. Blessings, Diane Roark http://www.recipesforourdailybread.com
Thank you Diane. Hope you’re having a fabulous day.
Thanks for such an inspired post. I am still reeling from the prayer you wrote to me. It was so moving, timely and relevant to my particular experience that I had to share it with my family who agreed that it is exceptionally moving. But more than that, we believe that it is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, I am encouraged beyond measure and living in prayerful expectation of God answered prayers for both of us.
Thank God for you and for your gift of prayer.
Now you have moved me to tears. I must say last evening I shared with my husband, the strong urgency and unction from the Holy Spirit when I started typing the prayer to you. So I simply yielded and let the Lord speak. I had been in a special place with the Lord for a few weeks now, just seeking Him for wisdom and direction concerning various things. So I am so humbled that He decided to entrust me with simply being the messenger to deliver His message for your situation. I remain in hopeful expectancy that every prophetic word which has been spoken over my life shall come to pass in His timing. And the same goes for you and your ministry. I don’t have a formal title, but I am a King’s Kid. I have truly tried to glean as much as I could from my Spiritual Parents Bishop Daniel Robertson, Jr. and Co-Pastor Elena Robertson. I’ve heard him teach how the Lord can and will use anyone He desires to use. Thank God for you, and stay encouraged.
Thank you and Thank God for you. I thank God for His divine will and Holy Spirit that directs our lives in accordance with His purpose and perfect will.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11
What wonderful encouragement.. Thanks for posting. Many blessings to you in finishing your book.
