Do NOT Reason with God!!!!!

Do NOT reason with God, when He calls you to something that means He already knows that you can do it-remember He is our creator, the Bible says: “He knew us before we were created” -Jeremiah 1:5, trust me, this testimony below is evident that God is powerful and that when called by the Lord do not justify, run or reason, instead draw nearer to Him and be blessed! Mid-summer 2011 God laid it on my heart to write a Fiction-Novel, He even provided the title like He always does, BUT! I…… on the other hand was very reluctant, I am even embarrassed to talk about this as a Christian but I believe in telling the truth and shaming the devil! I heard what the Lord said to me about this novel and I started my reasoning with Him, my conversations sporadically went like this every time I sat down to “try” and write this novel. “God….you know I am not a Fiction Author” “Fiction Authors are creative and highly talented; Lord you know that is not my genre” “I don’t know what to write….what am I going to write about Lord?” “God! You know I won’t be able to do this book” On and on…. the lines of reasoning continued, I literally sat down and wrote the title and copyright information and the introduction that summer and I called it quits! I re-opened the rest of my unfinished books to work on them but I could not write, I could not think, I could not focus and I got very frustrated and decided to take a break, Ladies and Gentleman…. I realized I reached what is known to some as “writers-block” BUT to God this was His way of saying: “I am waiting for you to listen to my command until then-you will be able to continue”, I never ever had this kind of experience in the few years that I have followed the command for my writing, that December when I was in California I managed to write and complete a booklet (not my proudest moment-but it was something), I was still frustrated that I was not able to work on my open projects. When I came back home in January my Church family and I embarked in a corporate prayer and fast, it was at that moment in January in which God laid it on my heart to seek an agent for my books, mind you I have been self-publishing this whole time, I thought it was a great idea, after all I had at that time 10 completed books that where ready to go, after receiving that message from God in January I created my annual-personal fast calendar in which I generally add one month in the year for fasting, this time my Spirit laid it on my heart to fast for 2 months, separate months of course, my first personal fast would be in May then the second would be in October, I did not have anything in specific to fast about except that I get a fair agent, one that represents me according to my calling and the rest of the fasting would be for God’s will to be done over my life and to be real-close to God, that was it!……unbeknownst to me that God-once again had other plans for me in this fasting, when I started my fast that first week of May, I was working on an awesome book that talks about addiction and Spiritual healing through God with testimonies of my addiction and how God helped me over come, as I wrote this book (which is a great-title and powerful message-the Holy Spirit really shinned in this book), God led me to the introduction of my novel….yes! the novel (the book I was dreading and knocking myself down)….God worked a good one in me, all I remember is; sitting there in person but typing away thoughtlessly through the Spirit, I had no plot, no notes, nothing but the Holy Spirit and yet!!!! The book just wove itself together in a conspicuous way (God is good!) this was the greatest feeling ever. The writing of the Novel had officially begun that first week of May and as I embrace July I am only 6 chapters away from completion and about 200+ pages completed. Hallelujah…the power of our living God!!! I love writing fiction literature…it’s the new me and God knew that I would enjoy it!, the anointing was and is still thick that I continued to fast for an extra 10 days after my initial 30 days, I did not want to lose out on the anointing, the novel is powerful, captivating, amazing, keeps me on the edge of my seat as I never know what the Holy Spirit is going to do next… and all through God, I tell you I cannot wait each and every time to write the next chapter, to find out what was happening to Jessica, Bernie, Charity, Marybeth, Sky, Mandy, Dr Marchelee, Bishop Parcell and so-on…God has a sense of humor that in the course of this novel I have had the liberty to meet my character’s… “I know-sounds crazy!” but no its true, I wrote about these different characters and their situations (all made up of-course, hence-fiction) but! In the course of writing this novel I have met and talked to several people-randomly and could not help but notice the similarities of their life’s story’s to my character’s which gave me goose-bumps!…but all I could do is praise God because I know that this was His way of confirmation of the power of the novel. Love you! Be blessed and hope to catch up with all after completion of Novel :) Please keep me up-lifted in prayers xoxoxo
