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.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
