Prayer Tool of Writing and Journaling - Pencil

Prayer Tool of Writing and Journaling - Pencil

You see many maintenance workers, repair technicians, electricians, architects, and plumbers with pencils behind their ears. They often have

measurements to write and drawings to produce. A toolbox is not complete without a pencil. The pencil is a physical symbol of writing that is required for your soul to unfold.

Writing is an important part of your soul’s journey. Imagine where society would be if no one wrote down the laws, took notes at meetings, or recorded historical events. The Bible we know today exists because people took the time to write down what they heard from the stories told by their ancestors through multiple generations.

It is not about the quantity of your writing but the quality of your writing. The major prophets required personal scrolls due to the length of their writings. The 12 minor prophets were able to fit all their writings on one scroll. Journal daily about what your thanksgiving, forgiving, and all the ways that you are giving your time, talent, and treasure. Write letters to God, yourself, and others to process your experiences. Even if you never mail the letter, there is a blessing in writing it down.

Write down your long-term goals for your life in addition to the short term goals you desire to accomplish. Break down large projects into smaller bite-size pieces. Writing allows you to review your progress. Documentation empowers you to see how far you have come and how far you still must go.

Like the Spirit told John on the Isle of Patmos, write (Revelation 1:19). Write your dreams and your visions. Write the whispers that you hear from the Holy Spirit and the creative ideas that you receive throughout your day.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

Praying in the Already

  “ He asked this only to try him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do (John 6:6).”  Many people see prayers from the imagery of two roles: Santa Claus or a short-order cook. Some see a Santa Claus who gives out toys and gifts based on their naughty or nice behavior. The thought is that if you do all the right things, then God hears and answers your prayers. However, if you think, say. or do something that is not right or perfect, then God will not give you what you desire.  Others see God as a short-order cook. A waitress takes your order then calls it out to the cook who makes it in the kitchen. When your order is ready, the cook rings the bell signaling the waitress to pick it up and bring it to your table so that you can eat it and pay the bill. Some people believe that through prayer, God takes your requests, cooks them up, and delivers them to you.  When you pray in the already, you realize that God is neither Santa Claus nor a short-order cook. According to the s
