Sometimes, writing or speaking without power, authority, and anointing is like giving one thousand rupiah to a person who has a million rupiah! So, you should write with His power or anointing. An anointed author, John Calvin Maxwell says, “The anointing represents God’s intimate presence and enabling power.”

Sometimes, our motives are impure. It is better untidy writings than impure thoughts. MaryAnn Diorio said, “A sound soul is essential to sound writing.” James Watkins used to say, “I need to constantly remind myself that my identity is not being a writer and speaker, but a loved child of God.” It is better of you doing one act of truth or random kindness than being a glimpse of bunch of theories.

When we are spiritually bankrupt, so too our writings. Thus, it is “better” the communist writers. Why is that? Because like Lenin ever said, “Every communist is to be actively engaged in the distribution of atheistic literature.” Bob Hoskins ever said, “Communism best weapons were words─the power of the printed page! Communists weren’t afraid to preach their message wherever they could get an audience. They knew the power of literature.”

We are all monks in every area we choose─in writing, development, etc. And as a writer, if you don’t write, you become unproductive. But, a monk who doesn’t live what he believes in is a monkey. Let others speak or write in hasty and nasty language. But, you know you can do nothing without His anointing. So, go search for it.

What is the sign for someone who loses something? He will be looking for it. What about thirsty people? They’ll effort to find water, then drink it. What about a man who is hunger? He would try everything until he got food. Hunger is good. But, why when you’re losing, thirsty, and hungry for Him or His anointing, you wouldn’t search for Him?

We should want Him and want to be like Him before we’ll ever become like Him and receive His anointing. And it means being convinced that spiritual transformation is something desirable.
