You Are More Than A Scribe

by with No Comment BlogChristianJesus

In History, a scribe was an ancient Jewish record-keeper whose work could involve copying manuscripts and other texts, secretarial and administrative duties such as taking dictation and keeping business, judicial, and historical records for kings, nobles, temples, and cities.  

This had always been a very important and trusted position. An example of a great scribe in the New Testament is Tertius, who worked for the Apostle Paul. And according to 2 Samuel, King David had three scribes. 

As a published Christian writer, I am, in a sense, a type of scribe, as I write mainly about the words in the Bible and the pages that have already been written within it. But one day, as I was encouraging a friend in the Lord, I heard these words:                           

“You are more than a Scribe.” 

I loved that thought so much. To think that because of Jesus and His blood, we have all become more than mere scribes. More than copycutters of truth, we have actually become His messengers. I know that when I am sharing and/or writing something, it is not a format from another person’s heart or mind. It is a living message from my relationship with the Holy Spirit. He uses me as a unique, sanctified child of God and wants me to be more than a dictation of knowledge. He wants me to be a messenger of the Gospel and move on His behalf. 

Matthew 28:19 says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

I am so thankful that we serve a Living God, that He left us His Holy Spirit as a Teacher, Comforter, and Guide, and that we are sealed as His own, no longer orphans or slaves but rather a chosen people, heirs and co-heirs in Christ. Because of this truth, I know I have the voice of a ready writer.

Have you found your voice? Do you know that you have important insider information about your Jesus, truths that He wants you to share with others? Have you become more than a scribe who takes dictation as you walk by the power of the Sovereign Holy Spirit? Do you feel the good pleasure of the Lord as you move as a messenger of the gospel? 

Be encouraged, dear friends, that you are fearfully and wonderfully made to have your own voice, given fresh to you daily by the Holy Spirit. Be brave to write the Living Words of your Savior on the hearts and minds of this present world. So get out your pens and write your own love letters. Be the messengers your Father has called you to be. And remember, speak the Gospel with your inherited authority, for you are called to be much more than a scribe.

Love is in His Name,

Universe

Uni-Verse

The Lord showed me an amazing thing—the beautiful and supernatural meaning of the word Universe.

Universe is divided into two parts: Uni meaning, “consisting of, relating to, or having only one,” and Verse meaning, “a single metrical line in a poetic composition; one line of poetry; the art or work of a poet.”

God started all this when He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light!—Genesis 1:3. God said, and there was! That “one verse—Uni-Verse” says it all! Not only was it the genesis of EVERYTHING, but God told us in Genesis 1:3—The First Book of the Bible, the First chapter, and the Third verse—The Beginning. The Three in One. The Trinity. The One True God. How powerful that one verse in Genesis is! IT IS THE GENESIS!!

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him.

God created the whole Universe with the sound of His voice and by His Word. “Let there be light.” These are probably the most powerful words ever spoken. 

Everything was created when God said, “Let there be light.” Everything was brought into existence from one line (uni) of God’s poetic artwork (verse). When God said, “Let there be light,” the Universe was manifested into existence by His sound. 

Did you know that the light spectrum could only be ushered in by sound because light has a frequency?  A standing sound wave with a frequency of 40,000 cycles per second generates 40,000 flashes of light per second that can be seen with the unaided eye.”     —Google USLA Putterman Research Group. 

That is incredible! That is A LOT of energy! That is like the sound of energy that raised Jesus from the dead! I marvel at the work of His hands!

Psalm 8:3-9

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which You have set in place, what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; You put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

God, YOU ARE SO AMAZING!

“Let there be light” in your Uni-Verse, the One Verse of your testimony!

Blessings,

Without faith, it’s impossible to please God. —Hebrews 11:6

God’s knowledge is absolute, unerring, complete, and intuitive. It embraces all things past, present, and future and searches the inmost thoughts of the heart.
Man’s knowledge is partial, imperfect, relative, gradually acquired, and largely mixed with error.

Waiting In His Sheepfold

I would like to share a story with you.
The other day, I visited a church in a small town. I had been there 5-10 times over the last 15 years. The pastors who presided there had come as a young couple and built the church up through the solid teaching of the Word, their love for the community, and consistent dedication to serve. They had their children and raised them there with their church family. They had bloomed alongside the church body, which appeared to be healthy and strong.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat of its fruit.
—Proverbs 18:21

So I was thinking about You, Holy Spirit, and this verse.
Holy Spirit, I want to hear You more, be more sensitive to Your voice, just be more aware of You period.
I want to think of You first.
I want to ask, “What do you want me to say or not say, Holy Spirit BEFORE I start flapping my lips and tongue?”

While putting away the clean dishes from the dishwasher, the Holy Spirit interrupted my thoughts and asked me, “Why does Satan hate mankind so much?” It was actually a rhetorical question because He answered it for me. He said, “Because we (mankind) were created differently than he was. He was created to worship God without intimacy, as an image of God but not in the image of God. He was given free will but without a chance of repentance. One-and-done!”
