As we sit down to write, if we aren\u2019t careful, we will start to wonder, \u201cWhy am I doing this? There are so many other people with way more influence and experience than me who could write this very book, and it would reach more people. Why me, God? Why am I writing this book?\u201d To settle those questions and all other similar misgivings, it is essential to have these three most important tools in your toolbox:<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b><i>The Three Tools\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Your Divine Resource<\/b><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Divine Resource is the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesus referred to Holy Spirit as your \u201cHelper.\u201d He is your ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). He also makes your path clear. He helps you do what seems impossible, and He is your divine resource to draw upon as you journey through this process. Romans 8:11 states that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in YOU! Jesus said, \u201cWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible\u201d (Matt 19:26, NIV).<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holy Spirit will take the inspiration within you and translate it into the written word for your book.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holy Spirit offers guidance, wisdom, and support as you navigate each new step in this process.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Your Yes\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you formally given God your yes to the call on your life to write?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a messenger, and there is an assignment on your life to write this book, and likely more to follow! He wants your yes\u2014He has done all the rest. Here are some helpful and enlightening Bible examples of \u201cyeses\u201d:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaiah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 The prophet Isaiah, upon hearing a conversation in Heaven in which the Father was looking for a messenger whom He could send to speak the truth, had a choice to make. Isaiah\u2019s response was simply, \u201cHere am I. Send me\u201d (Isaiah 6:8, NIV).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 She gave her \u201cyes\u201d without having all of the information, understanding, or even the ability within herself to accomplish what it was God was asking of her. She simply said, \u201cI am the Lord\u2019s servant. \u2026 May your word to me be fulfilled.\u201d Luke 1:38, NIV). Let this be our response as we move forward in our writing:<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here I am Lord\u2014send me.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be it unto me as you will; I am but the Lord\u2019s servant.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Your Why<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why are you writing this book?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What has the Lord shown you?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your why before you as you write to ensure you never stop. Let your motivation be simple, even as simple as: \u201cBecause God said so!\u201d Yes, perhaps the simple answer to such complicated misgivings is just, \u201cBecause God said so.\u201d Dear messenger, let that be your power punch to all your fears and doubts.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to encourage you to take the assignment on your life seriously. Be \u201call in\u201d with what God is asking of you. Don&#8217;t overthink it.

As previously mentioned, there are other tools you will need as you write and create your book. You will need other important tools such as your electronics, your writing programs, your reference materials, your notebook and pen, your old journals and notes, and so on. But, hands down, these three are the essentials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>WHEN YOU COMPLETE THIS MODULE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you&#8217;ll have gathered all the tools you&#8217;ll need to help you start your writing journey strong.
