Lord, we thank you for what you're doing in our lives.

And Lord, we just pray right now that you would release an impartation

that's I think on this house for writing, for revelation, for sharing, for preaching, for telling stories, for testimonies, for supernatural encounters.

We pray for that right now in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I want to talk to you about the purpose of writing.

Before I do that, I want to tell you just a little bit about my story and maybe it will be encouraging to you for those of you that are new writers, brand new writers.

I wrote the supernatural ways of royalty. I wrote about half of that book over a period of a year.

This is many years ago, probably, I think it's probably ten years ago.

And I worked on it over a period of a year.

And I sent, I have a friend who was a publisher. She published actually curriculum. She didn't publish books, but I didn't know anyone else who was actually in the publishing business.

And I thought, I'll send it to her and not for her to publish the book, but just for her to give me feedback.

So I sent her the manuscript, as I said, which was about maybe a third to half done.

And I knew it needed editing, of course, and that sort of thing. And I sent her the, so she got it.

And I waited about three weeks with no response. And so, you know how that is.

When you write, it's not just, it's like your baby, right?

I was really nervous to show anybody what I was doing.

Especially since I've never done it before. And I can't spell. And I barely passed high school.

And so, you know, I spell so bad that spell checks like, say what? Seriously, I can't, I to this day, I've been writing for, I don't know what, more than ten years.

I've written ten, published ten books, I still can't spell.

In fact, I didn't understand how word spell check works. So in the beginning, it says, do you want to add this to your dictionary?

And I'm like, well, of course I do.
