Spiritual Battles of the Christian Writer

KM’s Story:

The day I started writing for the Lord was the day I became a Christian writer.  Even when my first blog only had three page views (all from me) I was a Christian writer.  It’s been a crazy journey.

There were days I felt like my blog was on fire, and there were days I felt like hitting the delete button. There were days when my Amazon reviews made me absolutely giddy, and there were days my Amazon reviews made me feel like consuming an entire pint of triple chocolate toffee ice cream.

I’ve also struggled with marketing what I’ve written. There are times I have wondered if anyone would ever read what I write and be blessed by it.  I’ve received incredibly kind encouragement, but I’ve also received hate mail, incredibly rude comments, and I’ve been a “featured idiot” on an atheist forum.

Being a Christian writer is full of ups and downs.  It’s a roller coaster ride, and it’s a spiritual battle.  Yet, I know within my heart God wants me to write. God wants me to minister.

Today I got a Facebook message from someone I’d never met.  They had downloaded my book, “Honoring a Child Born to Heaven.” She had suffered a miscarriage and was trying to make sense of everything.  It was clear from her message that she wasn’t a Christian but desperately wanted her heart to be right with God. I had an open door to share the Gospel and encourage a person I will probably never meet in real life.  This was all because of the written word.  God chose to use me and my many imperfections and was actually using words that I had written to bless someone.

There are battles and struggles common to all writers, but Christian writers face an added spiritual battle.

When I wrote “Honoring a Child Born to Heaven,” I struggled A LOT.  That struggle was there not just because of the difficult subject the book broached but because it would bring Jesus’ hope to hurting women.  Satan does not want us sharing hope with anyone, and he certainly doesn’t want us sharing the Gospel.

The intention of this book is to help you write what God has laid on your heart.  The Lord opened up the door for me to share the Gospel with someone who had a miscarriage because I’ve had three myself.  There are people you will be able to reach with your writing that I will never be able to reach with mine because our journeys, and therefore what we write, are different.

Don’t ignore the calling God has given you. Your story is unique.  No one else will ever be able to write it.

CM’s Story:

I had a plan. I had a well thought and carefully laid plan for my future. I was always very passionate about writing, and while I studied English in college, I quickly came to the conclusion that I would be an English professor. The creativity of crafting a story or penning a poem irrevocably drew me to writing. Becoming a professor became the logical conclusion because I would have an outlet to read and write as an occupation, but I would also have the added bonus of sharing my passion for writing with thousands of students.

Yes, I had a plan. Then, I received a call. Not from my dear sweet mother or a buddy telling me I could get half off burritos at the new Qdoba, I received a call from God. I was not so receptive.  The world told me I needed a real job and being an evangelist is not on the list of real jobs by the world’s standard. Others told me I should think long and hard about whether or not I was actually called to anything. I told myself that my plan was sufficient. The notoriety and prestige of being a professor would undoubtedly increase my likelihood of being published as well as provide a steady income.

It seemed as though I listened to everyone but God. Until one day I realized (or should I say, the Lord revealed to me) that I had a passion to write because God gave me that passion.  If the Creator of the Universe put that in me, He could also put inside of me a call to preach. Once the Lord got a hold of my plans, I had little choice but to surrender those plans to Him.

If you have a passion to write, it is there because God put it there. He would not have done so if He did not want you to write for His glory. The world wants you to write for yourself; the Lord wants you to write for Him. You have a choice.

Challenge 2

Committing Your Words to the Lord

Committing our writing to the Lord means a constant surrender of our ideas.  It means dying to ourselves in every area of our lives so God can shine through.  It means abstaining from the desires of this world so we can hear His still small voice.

There are plenty of authors and bloggers who have grown an audience or made plenty of money without turning to the Lord for help.  So why is it important as Christian writers to seek the Lord when others seem to be successful without Him?

As Christian writers, we ought to desire to make a significant impact on the world for God. Rest assured we can’t do that on our own; we need God’s help.  Our dreams need to be bigger than what we can do on our own.  Just writing a book that sells lots of copies or growing a blog for the sake of money is hopefully not your goal for writing.  We should ache to change the world with our words.  We should want God to use our writing in ways beyond what we could ever accomplish on our own.

Have you ever wondered why David took five stones with him to battle Goliath?  Was it the fact that he didn’t have enough faith that one stone would do the trick, or maybe he thought he would miss four times?  If you read along farther in 2 Samuel, you’ll discover that Goliath had either four sons or four brothers who were also giants (2 Samuel 21:15-22).  Could it be when David took to the battlefield he was prepared to fight and kill the whole family; ALL FIVE giants?

The faith to slay one giant is certainly amazing, but David had the faith God would use him to defeat five!  Eventually, he and his men did.  That is a God-sized vision.

I (KM) had a lecturer in college who said, “Every Christian should have a dream so big, it takes God himself to fulfill that dream.”  Those words have become our hearts’ desire.

We want God to use our writing to tear down giants of sin, discouragement, depression, and lies in the lives of others.  We want someone’s life to be so changed by something God has us write that their heart breaks into a great revival for the Lord.  We want that person to serve the Lord with all of their hearts and change the world for Christ.

We want the byproduct of just one changed life to be missionaries, pastors, evangelists, charity workers, and emboldened Christians.  Just a few words can spark a revival that will change the lives of people across the world. There is nothing we can do as writers that will make any of this come to pass.  This dream can only come from the hand of God himself.

All we can do is give God our best, and leave the rest up to Him. You can’t change any lives. You can’t inspire anyone. You can’t! You can’t! You can’t!  But the LORD can!

If God doesn’t choose to change a single life with the word’s we write we need to be okay with that.  The prophet Jeremiah, for example, preached and wrote and never saw a single convert in his lifetime.  But he did what the Lord called him to do anyway.

Jeremiah never saw any results in his lifetime, but we know God used him.  All we must do as Christian writers is be used by God.  The Lord will take care of the rest.

Challenge 3

When You Feel Like Your

Writing Won’t Make a Difference

Let’s make one thing very clear: the reason a believer should write is to glorify God. If our aim is self-serving, or our goal is fame beyond imagination, we have certainly fallen short.

The end result of our writing is directly related to how we write and what our attitude is while we write. Galatians 6:7 spells out rather clearly the principle of reaping and sowing, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

The concept doesn’t get much simpler; if I plant an apple seed I will get an apple tree. Likewise, if we “plant” books or blog posts while coveting success, the fruit will be corrupted. Conversely, if we sow our writing into the soil of prayer and devotion, saturated in the desire to glorify God, He will bless our words and the fruit will be pure.  It is by our hearts and attitudes that our work will be judged (Romans 2:5-11).

So, how can we know that people are reading our words?  We don’t. But the encouragement comes from the promise that what we sow, we shall also reap. We are not promised worldly success or copious amounts of money, but we are promised to bring glory and honor to God if that is our goal. So write for the purpose of glorifying God and you shall reap bountifully!

The world defines success by monetary gain. But as Christians, we should care more about the fruit our ministry bears.  God wants our ministries to bear much fruit, because it glorifies him (John 15:8).  We can be assured if we are abiding in Christ, not only will our ministry bear fruit, but it will bear good fruit that glorifies our Living Lord.

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing……..If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”  John 15:5,7

Challenge 4

Making Money

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” Proverbs 28:20-22

Solomon was the wisest man to walk to face of the Earth. He wrote these words under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We can learn from this passage of Scripture that God is not a fan of “Get rich quick” schemes. Sometimes as writers we desire rewards in our time; not God’s.

Whether it’s notoriety or material wealth we crave, if our goal is to haste in getting these worldly riches, according to Scripture, we will not be innocent.  So, if our options are as simple as “abound with blessings” or have “an evil eye,” the choice should be clear.

All God asks of us is to be faithful to Him. We must have faith in God and not ourselves. We must desire to see souls saved and not our checkbooks abound. We must long to encourage the body of Christ with our words instead of worrying about how fast our blog is growing or how many books we’ve sold this month. God will bless your words, if you are faithful, in HIS timing.

Money should never be a Christian’s measurement of worth or success, but there is a reality that for some, writing is a ministry as well as a source of income.

With that in mind, the income our home brings in through book sales is very important to our family.  God has blessed us with some very good months, while others have been lean.  Even though self-publishing and blogs are changing the writing industry, expect your efforts to take at least a year or two to bring in any income.

While you are waiting, however, remember God promises to supply all our needs if we are faithful to Him. Paul writes in Philippians 4:19:

“My God shall supply all. your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Knowing that God will supply all of our needs is incredibly freeing.  It removes the panic of perpetually checking the number of book downloads or page views we get every day.  We simply need to love God, serve Him with our words, and leave the rest up to Him.

This is not a book on money management, but the expectation that God will supply your needs also requires faith on your part.  At the risk of stepping on toes, we must avoid being “cursed with a curse” by robbing God (Malachi 3:9a). We rob God by not giving our tithes and offerings to the church we attend. If we are faithful, however, the Bible says God will “Pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (Malachi 3:10b).Give from the abundance of your heart, and see how God himself blesses you.

One final thought: if you want to learn how to make money as a writer, there are many great resources to get you on the right track.  Spend time learning how others have succeeded, and implement the strategies that fit with your calling.  And always remember, we need only ask in faith and God promises us wisdom.  (James 1:5)

Challenge 5

When You Feel Like What

You Write Doesn’t Matter

When we think to ourselves, “My words don’t matter,” we believe a lie.  All words have a purpose and an impact.  They affect the reader by either driving them closer to or further away from our Holy God.

We tend to think that our entertainment can be neutral, but it isn’t.  It either glorifies God or taints man.  We all must be wary of what we read and watch.  Because of this we must not write carelessly because our words truly matter.

When we seek to glorify God, we can be encouraged that He will bless and use our words.  He can use them no matter what the genre to educate, encourage, or evangelize.  We may never see the impact of our words, but rest assured God can take what we do and use it for His glory.

The end result of spiritual poverty or prosperity can be easily correlated into life and death. Our words are a potent device, and we should not wield their power lightly. Proverbs 18:21 spells out the gravity of our words and their impact as Solomon writes:

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Every word on every page of every story or blog post has the power to bring spiritual life or death. That is why everything we write MUST be covered in prayer.

So, before you pour your morning coffee and grab your favorite pen, or before you pull up your chair to your desk and gloss your fingertips over the keyboard, pray. Pray that your words would be His words. Pray that the vision and goal of your writing would be to bring glory to God and life to those who need it. Pray that God would grant you discernment in what you allow into your heart via television, internet, and even conversations.  1 Thessalonians 5:17 simply commands us to “Pray without ceasing.” May our prayers be enduring and our words bring life.

Challenge 6

Seeing Success God’s Way and In God’s Time

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall

strengthen thine heart; wait, I say on the LORD.”

Psalm 27:4

We have a tendency to desire instant gratification.  With the click of a mouse, we have a seemingly infinite amount of knowledge at our fingertips. We need instant coffee, convenience meals, and minute rice.  When we need information we want it NOW.  Everything must be done and results shown yesterday.

Writers are no different. We often have the expectations for our work to “heat up” at microwave speeds with fresh oven taste.  If results don’t come instantly, we’re prepared to throw in the towel.  Low subscriber counts, few downloads, long response times from agents, and not enough likes, pins, or tweets are incredibly discouraging.  You’ve probably been there.  Maybe slow growth was disappointing enough to snuff your passion for writing or halt your work completely.

The truth is we must wait.  If we earnestly seek God, we can be sure He will bless our work.  Success is not measured the same way by God as it is by man though.  God finds us successful when we are in humble service to Him.  If our desire is to reach more people with the Gospel or encourage the Body of Christ, it will come to fruition (even if we don’t see it).

For those who want to earn an income with their writing, blogs and self-publishing have made it possible to gain monetary success from writing without ever needing a traditional publishing contract (although there’s certainly nothing wrong with traditional publishing, and there are plenty of advantages).  Chances are if you are diligent and purposeful you will eventually be able to make money writing.  My husband and I bring in a fair income every month from the sales of our eBooks, but as this book is being written we don’t make enough money online for either of us to quit our jobs.  Earning money from writing is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time and perseverance.

Truth be told, it took years of blogging and a full year of publishing on Amazon before any of our books reached best-seller status.  But when it did happen, God expanded our reach more than either of us dreamed possible.  We had one month where five of our books were on Amazon’s best-seller lists in their own category.  We know God blessed our books, even if that blessing wasn’t visible right away.

While there are stories of bloggers releasing their first eBook and selling $20,000 worth of books in a single month, for most of us, we wait upon the Lord.  While we wait, we trust, and we serve.

The Lord may use writing to provide for our needs or he may use other means.  Because God is not mocked, there will come a day when we reap what we’ve sown, even if the results can’t be measured by man’s standards.  You may never make a dime from your writing, and you need to be okay with that. Just because your writing isn’t making you money doesn’t mean you aren’t glorifying God and changing lives.

Challenge 7

Jealousy

It’s easy to get jealous as a writer, isn’t it?  When we hear about a successful blog campaign, book launch, or publishing contract of another Christian writer, sometimes we covet their results rather than praising the Lord with them.  Instead of dropping them a quick e-mail that says, “So excited to see how God is using your ministry!” we tend to sulk.

Jealousy happens easily enough between strangers, but imagine this scenario:

You’re Anna Warner, a Christian novelist and your older sister Susan is a Christian novelist as well.  Susan, however, is much more successful than you.  In fact, she becomes the first American novelist to sell over 1,000,000 copies of a single book.

If these sisters had any jealousy problems they worked through them, and praise the Lord they did.  Anna didn’t quit writing.  She didn’t sit and sulk over her sister’s success.  Anna kept working and writing for the Lord.  She even collaborated with her sister on many projects.  Both women were prolific church workers and each woman wound up writing thirty novels a piece.  There was certainly no legacy of sibling jealousy between them.

Both of these women allowed God to minister to others through their words, even though it would have been easy for a lifetime of jealousy and rivalry to take hold.  The greatest success of this writing duo however wasn’t the 1,000,000 copies sold by an American woman or the sixty novels written.  Their greatest success was a poem that was tucked away in a now forgotten novel.

Susan wrote a novel in which a young girl lay dying.  A visitor, in order to comfort the young girl, recited a poem.  Anna was the author of the poem for Susan’s book.  A poem which has been translated into hundreds of languages and millions upon millions of people around the world have even memorized its words over 150 years later.

If Anna had given into bitterness, this little poem that has blessed so many would have never been written.  This poem even today continues to share the Gospel in simple, understandable terms even a child can grasp.  Have you guessed it yet?

It’s:

“Jesus Loves Me, this I know.

For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to him belong.

They are weak, but He is strong.”

Can you imagine Christianity without the song “Jesus Loves Me?”

Don’t let jealousy stop you from writing something that can be used by God.  If you’re struggling with jealousy and bitterness, God won’t use you!  Let it go. Be joyful for the success of other Christian writers.  Praise the Lord with them; don’t become jealous.

Letting go of envy is never easy though.  Satan will do everything in his power to fan the flames of jealousy in your heart, because the last thing he wants you to write is another “Jesus Loves Me.”  If you want God to use your writing beyond your wildest dreams, let go of the bitterness.

“Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.”

Song of Solomon 8:6b

Challenge 8

Developing a Vision

“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and

the flower thereof falleth away:”

1 Peter 1:24

We only have so much time on this earth.  In light of eternity, our lives are only a mere breath.  We only have so much time to pursue the dream and calling God has laid on our hearts.  We aren’t even guaranteed tomorrow.

We all need God-sized dreams. We shouldn’t merely want to write a book; we should want to write a book that God can use to advance His Kingdom.  This takes wisdom from the Lord and His divine intervention, but it also takes deliberate planning and incremental steps to reach the goal. The dream is the destination, but the vision is everything involved in achieving the dream.

The steps you need to take to fulfill the dream God has laid on your heart are unique, but getting so focused on the end goal that you forget the details is an all too common struggle.  The most important encouragement through all of our struggles, however, is that God Himself will be with us throughout every one of them.

The old adage goes, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!”  Having a vision allows you to clearly navigate your way through the obstacles that you face and also break up the plan in more manageable steps. The dream you have will come to pass if the Lord is at the center.

Again, don’t get so focused on a dream that you neglect to cultivate a vision which will allow you to achieve it!

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18a

A dream is a destination, but the vision is how we get there.  Pray for wisdom when seeking your dreams and creating your vision. God truly cares for them because He desperately wants to use your life to fulfill His purpose.

Challenge 9

Making Time for Prayer and Devotion

They tell you when you are on an airplane, in case of an emergency, to always put your own oxygen mask on first before you help the person next to you, even if that person is your child.  The reason is simple: if you pass out because of a lack of oxygen, you can’t help anyone and you’ll both be dead.

This applies the same way to our writing.  If we allow our souls to become thirsty and dry, or we allow our prayer life to become lacking, we can’t help those around us the way we ought.  Prayer and Bible reading need to be immediate priorities in every Christian’s life but especially those who are called to service.

As Christian writers, we must make personal devotion a priority, but don’t let the Bible just become a book of writing prompts!  Let it be your source of life and inspiration that drives every aspect of your life including your writing.  Draw so close to the Lord in your personal devotion that His love can’t help but spill over into your words.

Prayer is, of course, also key in drawing close to the Lord.  It is so much more than just asking God to bless our lives, families, and work.  Prayer glorifies God. Prayer allows us to confess our sin. Prayer allows us to participate in God’s plans. Most importantly, prayer has power.  As Christian writers, if our prayer life is lacking our writing will surely be lacking as well.

All writers must cultivate the discipline of setting aside writing time.  Your writing time, however, cannot possibly be blessed if you aren’t spending disciplined time with the Lord.  Your writing is the overflow of your heart and Spirit, so be sure both are set on the Lord.

“Draw nigh unto God, and he will draw nigh to you.” James 4:8a

Challenge 10

Overcoming Your Past

The Alabaster Jar is a fabulous blog on marriage.  The “secret” though is the author, Jolene, has been divorced before and so has her husband. Ironic isn’t it.  The truth of the matter is God can redeem anyone’s past.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

We all need the grace of God.  We are all sinners.  There is no perfect person, and by extension there is no perfect Christian.  If Christ has saved you from your sins, then God has forgotten your past and doesn’t hold your sins against you.

The Lord wants to use you in ministry NOW.  He doesn’t want you to focus on what once was.  Satan, however, doesn’t want you to write for the Lord, and he certainly doesn’t want you ministering to others.  He wants you to be plagued by your past so you are crippled in the present.  If you believe that God can’t use you because of your past, you are listening to the whispers of the Prince of Lies.  Satan is more than happy to make your past an issue, even though God has completely forgiven it.

Here’s the thing: that useless sinner is the old you. That wretched person soaked in sin is now a redeemed saint soaked in the blood of Christ. You are a new creation. God can use you despite your past. It does not matter what you have done or where you’ve been, God can always use you. You might ask how we know this, but rest assured God uses dirty rotten sinners saved by grace every day for the simple reason that dirty rotten sinners are all He has to work with.

Not only can God use your words despite your past, He may very well use your past for His glory. Jolene, the blogger of “The Alabaster Jar,” for example, has a unique perspective on marriage and divorce that can only come from the pain she and her husband both endured.  The past was redeemed and is now a blessing to others.

Concluding Thoughts

If God has called you to write a blog, write an eBook, write a book to be self-published, or write a book that will be traditionally published, then WRITE.

Your words could be used by God to change a life, that life could change a family, that family could change a church, that church could change a city, that city could send the Gospel out into a lost and dying world.  This world so desperately needs Christian charity, love, and ultimately salvation.

Just write something.  Set aside time and write.  Pray for guidance and write.  Seek to impact God’s Kingdom and write.  You are a tool in the hand of the Creator of the universe.  Let Him use you.  Write and allow God to author your words.

God wants to use you. He wants to take your words further and reach more people with them than you could ever imagine. The only catch is you give Him the glory and surrender to Him.

None of this can happen, however, until you write. If your screen stays blank or your notepad empty, God cannot use your words.  So write knowing that the Bible says:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

The Question You Should Never Forget

There might be a book or website you write where it is not appropriate to add a salvation message, and that’s okay.  There is nothing wrong with publishing a secular book or website, but ultimately as a Christian writer our goal should be to share the gospel with as many people as possible with the time we have on Earth.  So when you have opportunity, share it.

If you’re not sure what exactly to write you may use the following as a template or copy it word for word.  You may include a link to www.christianwritingstudio.com if you do use this message.  Although appreciated, this isn’t necessary.

If you were to die today, are you 100% percent sure you would go to Heaven?

This question has been asked of millions throughout the ages, but now it is being asked of you.

So, what is your answer?

If your answer is no, the next paragraph will show you how you can know for sure. If your answer is yes, why do you say so? Is it because you are a good person? Is it because you go to church? Is it because you haven’t done anything to really deserve Hell? Those are all popular answers. But they are also wrong.

Romans 3:23 says:

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

The fact is we are all sinners that deserve Hell. Don’t believe me? Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever taken anything that wasn’t yours? Have you ever held hatred in your heart toward anyone for any reason? God puts that hatred on the same level as murder (Matthew 5:22).

So, if you are honest with yourself, you will admit you are a lying, thieving, murderer. Does someone like that deserve to be in a perfect Heaven? The short answer is no, but there is good news.

Romans 6:23 states:

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God

is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

This means that because of our sin, we do deserve Hell. The “wages” are what we earn and the “death” is a separation from God in a place called Hell. However, because God loves us, He has offered a way to be forgiven of our sins so we may go to Heaven.  This is through Jesus Christ and Him alone. He came to Earth and died on the cross for your sins and the sins of all mankind.

Being forgiven is quite simple: we must ask for forgiveness from God and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Romans 10:9 says:

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

The way you can know you are on your way to Heaven is by believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and that He rose from the dead.

If you are not sure whether or not you are going to Heaven, do not delay because no one is promised tomorrow. If you would like to ask God to forgive you, please say this prayer:

Dear God, I know I am a sinner. But I believe you send your son, Jesus Christ, to come to Earth and die on the cross for my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and I turn away from my sins. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

If you prayed that prayer and meant every word, I have great news: you are saved from Hell! Rejoice in knowing you are on your way to Heaven. The next step is to find a local church so you can grow in your new found faith.

Be sure to contact us and let us know if you have made the decision to follow Christ we’d love to celebrate with you.
