Publishing: Scribe or Literary Agent (My class is on break but still writing)

 

At this juncture of The Scribal Anointing we should have Acts 2:17 deeply embedded in our spirit as scribes. In fact, this scripture speaks to the marching orders of the present day scribe.  God is pouring His spirit out on all flesh but what are you, specifically, called to do?

 

Rest assured in the midst of this great outpouring of His spirit you are not called to "Sit on it" like Potsie on Happy Days, instructed scribes, these are the Glory Days you are commanded to publish God's glory and proclaim salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. 

 

You may very well be the most prolific poet or a house full of snaps spoken word artist.  You may even be a New York Times list best-selling author but what does any of that have to do with the Kingdom of God?  Scribes of the King are you tapped into the heart of God sharing with the world the good news of Jesus Christ and telling the world by any means necessary through skits, plays, poetry, spoken word, novels, movies- even clothing and accessories what God speaks to you while you are in your prayer closet? 

 

It has been said that prayer is our response to God.  How else are you responding? What are you publishing?  As scribes of the most-high God your publishing company is your action or inaction, for that matter, and it serves as an active epistle or testimony of God's word in your life.  Which takes precedent, your words or His?  To which system do you belong, the secular world or the kingdom of God's? 

 

If you want to be a worldly scribe, aka a writer of nice things, let's get worldly and jump into the flesh. Now, can you hear God asking "What have you done for me lately?"  Let's put a beat to it, a baseline.  Your heart, kingdom scribes, beats to publish God's word! Do you need a horn section? Gabriel has sounded his horn. Now get your pens, pencils, and paper together and get to God's work! God is trusting you and blessing you with His spirit and straight from His heart, His word.  How are you trusting Him?  How are you blessing Him?

 

Now is the time to ask yourself if you are truly a scribe of the King instructed unto the kingdom of heaven or a literary agent of the world.  Why do you publish the things you do?  The essence of publishing boils down to this, are you seeking world renown and riches or are you seeking kingdom inheritance and the righteous reward of putting God first? When the time comes and your are standing face to face with the Lord accounting for the things you have published will you be crying out to God saying "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness, according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot my transgressions or will you now publish "O taste and see that the LORD is good?"
