In the stories of Sarah, Rebekah, Hannah, and Mary we see what was “inconceivable” become conceivable. Each of these women conceived against all odds. Each required God’s supernatural intervention in order to conceive and give birth to a child.

This is the same God who supernaturally touches the empty places in our lives in order to conceive something that blesses the world. Our books will bless the world if they’re conceived by God.

Genesis 21:1-2 - Sarah

Genesis 25:21 - Rebekah

1 Samuel 1:10-11 - Hannah

Luke 1:30-31, 35 - Mary

Do you believe God can help you overcome the inconceivable?

In Matthew 2, we read about some “wisemen” who traveled from the East to bring gifts along with their worship of this newborn King of the Jews. Scholars believe they came from Babylon (modern day Baghdad, Iraq) or perhaps Persia (modern day Iran). In either case, they would have traveled 900-1200 miles by camel and arrived when Jesus was anywhere from 6 months to 2 years old.

You can imagine how excited they would have been to finally arrive at their destination. We read these words in Matthew 2:10-11,

“When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

In hindsight, each of these wisemen would have said it was worth the trip to see this newborn King Jesus with their own eyes. As Kingdom Writers, we will also look back on our lives and say our writing journey was worth the trip, regardless of how arduous.

Habakkuk was a prophet who had some complaints to air out to God. He wasn’t happy with the way his fellow Jewish people were living and he let the Lord know. The Lord replies to this minor prophet by telling him He indeed had a plan for His people and He would use the cruel Babylonians to accomplish His purposes. 

Now Habakkuk has several questions regarding God’s method of discipline. After asking his series of questions, we read these words,

“I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint.” (Habakkuk 2:1 NLT)

We all have complaints and questions as we journey through life. Habakkuk gives us an invitation to go back and forth with God to see what He’s up to in the world. But like Habakkuk, we must also be prepared to wait patiently for the Lord’s reply. In the end, like this prophet, we will find ourselves amazed and ready to fall to our faces in worship before this God who knows what He’s doing.

Jess Kozer has made it her mission to help other brands grow their audience through promotional partnerships and collaboration. She has built a strong community for herself through these strategies and has discovered that working with other brands and showcasing their work is a highly effective and enjoyable way to grow her own audience, rather than relying on traditional self-promotion tactics. By sharing her expertise and experience with others, Jess is able to help other businesses succeed and reach their full potential.

The past year has been a roller coaster of events and lessons. One that brought many surprises, but also many lessons learned that will carry us into 2023. Each year brings new opportunities and challenges in life, and while it's tempting to look back on or even relive those events from last year, it's important to look forward.

I'm going to go ahead and make a bold prediction here: at the end of this year, we're all going to look back, with a new perspective on everything. Things will look clearer, brighter, and truer than ever.

What are the things we can learn from and what can we do differently? Know more about what I learned in 2022 and what I will be doing differently in 2023 by listening to this episode.

What difference will my book make in the world?

What difference can one person make?

Is my life really contributing very much?

“Every waterfall begins with a single drop of water”

One single drop of iodine will purify 8oz of water

One single bee can pollinate as many as 5000 flowers in a day! The lifespan of a bee is 30-60 days which means one bee could pollinate 150,000-300,000 flowers in their brief life. One bee will produce one tablespoon of honey in their lifetime. There’s a reason we use the phrase “busy bee”.

“I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.” – Ezekiel 22:30 (NLT)

God was looking for one person then and He still looks for one person today to join Him in what He’s doing on the earth.

One little boy shared his lunch of bread and fish with Jesus…which Jesus then fed 5000 with.

We need to shift from a limiting mindset to a limitless mindset. From saying it’s impossible to asking, “What is possible?”

What are the possibilities of how God could use your book? Your life?

Scripture: Ezra 3:10-13; Zechariah 4:6-10

After nearly 80 years of being in exile, the Jewish people would return to their homeland and begin rebuilding the Temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonians. After the foundation had been completed, those who were old enough to remember the glory of Solomon’s temple began to wail and bemoan this newer version due to its modesty. The newer generation celebrated the accomplishment and rejoiced over the work being done.

Perhaps you have felt like you’re returning to your writing project after being in exile for years. Maybe you’ve been comparing your work to that of others or the work you accomplished long ago. Like His message through the prophet Zechariah regarding this foundation being laid, we can also take comfort by applying these words to where we find ourselves…

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” - Zechariah 4:10a

No matter where you find yourself in the writing and marketing journey, take time to celebrate the foundation being laid and the progress God has helped bring thus far!

On numerous occasions throughout scripture, believers are referred to as “priests.” Here’s a notable reference (and more in the book, which you can get for free later!) 

“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9 NLT)

Jesus opened the door for anyone to become Kingdom priests and devote their lives completely to serving Him. 

For many of us, part of that service includes the words we write. It’s why we like referring to Christian writers as “priestly pens.” 

As Christian writers, we have this compulsion to write words that honor our King. And this desire is given to us by that same King,

Imagine the Author of life partnering with you and me (the pens) to write words that impact others now and will later outlive us. ❤️

God alone gives us that power. He’ll always supply the resources we need when we aim to please Him.
