I need prayer warriors to pray over me and my writing projects. I want/need to hear from God. Last time Journey was published, I was so excited to be writing for the Lord. I was in constant prayer. I knew that I knew how He wanted to finance the project. I had heard from Him and I knew what I was supposed to do. I didn't have any money to start with, so I started pre-selling copies. That started some funds. As I prayed, more money and donations started coming in. My faith was strengthened. I started speaking out God's plan for funding the book. Of course, I ran across resistance from my then editor and publisher. They pushed me to start before I was ready.
One night I had a dream. In this dream, there was a lady on the platform at church. She pointed to me and said that God was going to abort my book. I woke up scared. I knew that I had come too far to have the book aborted. I also believed the dream was not from God because God doesn't want abortions. So, at the thrill of seeing God's project complete, I pressed in with my strength, and forgot to consult God. I buckled under the pressure of the editor and publisher to spend finances that God didn't provide.
Eventually, I had a book, but it wasn't the book that I could be 100% proud of because I knew that I had gone out from God's grace and did it myself. As consequences, I found out that the publisher was not all I had expected, the editor was far from professional and there are errors that got left in the book.
So, God is giving me a second chance. The book, Journey Back to the Lord has a very good message, one I need to listen to myself again. It is a message about hope and pressing through the hard times. I believe that producing it as a Second Edition is God's will. It is basically ready. All accept the finances. I am back again where I was when I started the first book.
I need prayer for clarification so I can hear from God. I do not want to mess this up again.
