God continually speaks to us. That's what happens when you have a relationship with someone. They talk to you. In close relationships they reveal their heart to you. God wants to reveal His heart to us. The Lord wants to share His secrets with those He loves. 

​I always encourage people to journal what God speaks to you and what He shows you. Give honor to that relationship and He will reveal to you even more. Write the vision.

Has the Lord Called You to Write?

A couple of years ago a believing friend at work asked me for a word. He knew God was doing things in my life and wanted that same grace over his life as well. I explained to him that I did not “flow” in the prophetic like he did and that he should ask someone that has that gift. My friend was not dissuaded and continued to ask me…. for TWO years! I had to give him credit for persistence.
​
Finally I agreed. The reality was that I knew I could get a word from the Lord but at that time I had to spend some serious time in prayer to get one. He really is a gifted prophet who desired to be launched and used of the Lord so I told him I would pray and ask the Lord where his open doors and breakthrough was waiting for him. I spent two days, or rather two days of my evenings / nights asking about his situation and the Lord spoke to me very clearly. I knew exactly where his breakthrough was waiting.
​
I was excited to relay the good news to him but there was a bit of a hard word attached as well. So I went to him and we sat down and I gave him the good news. The Lord has told me where your breakthrough is waiting. He waited with expectation as I first explained there was a small issue of unforgiveness that he had to deal with. I told him who the other person was because the Lord had shown me a rather large chunk of their relationship. He looked at me in a very detached way and said “That’s none of your business.” but, he continued, “tell me where the breakthrough is. ”
​
I knew of course that his breakthrough was connected to getting his heart right. That was the blockage he was facing but I told him the rest anyway. I said the Lord told me that you are supposed to write out the way you hear His voice and how this has developed in your life. If you do this, many people will learn from it and be prepared for their own ministry and calling. The Lord said the book you write on this will open the doors for you to go and teach. Or to put it another way, your gift will make room for you.
​
​I really did not expect him to be so disappointed especially since it took me two days to get the word. He told me that if God wants him to write a book, He is going to have to tell him. That was almost two years ago and he still asks me from time to time if I can ask the Lord for him where his breakthrough is. I find this very sad.
​
The reality is that there are many people whom the Lord has spoken to asking them to share and teach the revelation He has given them. Maybe this is you. One of the biggest hurtles people seem to face in this is the idea that their revelation is not so special or compelling so as to warrant the writing of a book. If the Lord has prompted you to write, He has a good reason for it. Just begin. Believe the Holy Spirit will give you the words He wants you to say. (Luke 12;12)
​
​That breakthrough you have been looking for? Maybe this is it.
​Blessings, Mike

I am in a similar predicament to your friend(sort of). I keep hearing "Blog"...but never told about what. I'm about to go through and read your book on Waiting on the Lord and see what else I might need to do to help open up my eyes to see what angle He's having me write from. Gonna keep trusting, waiting and praying.

Yes, he has called me to write for sure. I have written several books already that are in the process of being published for other topics, but I have always had numerous script and book ideas that the Lord has put on my heart.

I have the inspiration to do a small booklet. I'm unsure if it is for now or for after I perfect what I'm doing, but the desire is there. That is nothing I ever wanted to do before...mercy!

I have had nudgeing from the Lord to write a book. I was saved in my early twenties I spent 40 years a new age and the occult 40 years in darkness and 3 years ago the Lord mightly broughtme back.
Now I'm a 65 year old man just discovering how to see in the spirit how to do what I did in the occult but do it with the Lord Jesus Christ sone is the same but it's very different having him being first and foremost. I have to pay my book would make a really good story Capri pray for me that I pray that the Lord May bless meif you want this book out God bless Randy

Thanks for sharing. I have been writing blog articles but have faced a blockage with writing the books the Lord told me to write. I have started and stopped on many. My target for this year is to write prophetically every day. Restrictions I placed on my ability to write have hindered my progress for a very long time. Now is the time to break every shackle. Thanks again. I pray that your friend will take heed to your prophecy concerning his writing. Humility is extremely important in our walk. Especially, when we seek a Word from the Lord. Corrections is a great part of encouragement.

Want to say more, but all I can say is at 74 years old, still very confused. If you will please pray for me.

This word is so encouraging God has called me to write, but my thing is how to get started, you answered the question, ask the Holy Spirit to help me, so now I know what to do :) thank you.

Hi Michael. I have been doing the exercises on seeing into the spirit. One night, I saw in my imagination a man in white walked into my room towards me through thin air. I asked the Holy Spirit who is this man and if I should test him if he comes closer. So I used 1 John 4:1 to test him and I ask for his name and his purpose of visitation. I saw he had a wooden box in his hand and he handed it to me saying, it's from the Lord. I opened it and saw it was a very unique pen. His message to me was obviously "to write". He explained that this "pen" is my special tool or instrument from the Lord. After that he left.
Please pray for me in this area of writing. How do I activate this by faith? How should I start? Thank you. Gid bless, Evelyn

I've written a small booklet and keeping it simple on how to hear from God-not at all my idea but Holy Spirit. I know that I'm to write more but not exactly on what and when to do at this...although the scripture He gave me was Hew 5:14. We've held several sessions to teach and practice on exercising our senses to discern between what's good and evil. Just not sure if that's the next book or a book of supernatural testimonies...waiting on the Lord to see and how to move from here on out.

I just read your book about declarations. I recently wrote a book myself. I know God gave it to me. Reading this blur was confirmation. My spirit is leaping for joy.

It is My gift to Gods people. His word.

I declare and decree that Life’s will be changed.
I declare and decree that God will use this to open up opportunities for me to teach his word.
I decree it will sell billions and bring many to know God our savior.
I decree that this is an enlargement of territory
I decree that many will understand the Bible better
I decree that I will go deeper.
In the name of Jesus.

I am so excited to present my new book to you. I pray you will purchase a copy as you are led. I promise it will bless you.

What is it about? It’s about growing into the mindset of believing God, thinking, and speaking like the royalty you are! It’s a topical search of scriptures and encouragement for you to find more of God's promises.

Finally, I have been praying asking God what can I believe these days? Have you watched the news? What can I think with all that’s going on? So much hate, pain, sickness, death, etc.
What can I say? Thus saith the Lord, repeat after me. Believe, Think and Speak my kingdom promises, no matter what.

Also, they're some special treats included to aid you in your devotional time.
