Dream, Writer, Dream, write, Writer, Write

"Write in the book all the words I have spoken you" (Jeremiah 30:2).

Have you ever seen the cartoons of Snoopy in Peanuts by Charles S. The ones where Snoopy is sitting on top of his box fighting the Red Baron in great battles, in his dreams. Then later,Snoopy was a writer sitting on top of that same box, writing the greatest stories ever, or at least he tried to. I believe that Charles had a clear view of how both were battles. Let me explain.

History had the battle with Red Baron. Then there is writing. Any successful writer will tell you that at times they battle when it comes to getting the words on the page. There is also the battle Christian writers face. We are putting things down on paper that could kick Satan's teeth out in spiritual battle. God has put those powerful words in our heads to put on paper to minister to others who are in the middle of a spiritual battle. Those words will be just the ammo a brother or sister needs to fight and win that battle. Satan doesn't want them to win, so he will do everything he can think of to stop us writers from supplying the bullet or grenade to God's ammo dump.

You see, writing for the Lord is a Christian act. Just like any other station in God's army. We may not be on the front lines of the fight like a Pastor or Missionary, but we can be the ones who build the spiritual bombs for them to use in a battle down the road.

So now that you know about the battle. I want to ask you, "what saying, poem, article, devotional or story runs through your dreams? Write it down and get it out there, so those on the front lines will have the ammo that they need to do battle.  Dream, writers, dream, write, writers, write!
