Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwriters Theme: Ask, Seek, Knock As independent authors, we wear a lot of different hats. Writer, marketer, business owner, bookkeeper, book designer. It's easy to feel overwhelmed at times. And because we're Kingdom writers, we also face the obstacles the enemy throws at us. God provided all the answers we need in His Word. Let's look specifically at Matt. 7:7 NKJV, \"Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.\" How many of you find it hard to ask for help, to seek for what you need, or to knock on the necessary doors? Yet, as Luke 18:17 tells us we are to approach the kingdom of God like a child. They are innocent, trusting, and act without hesitation or fear. Kids have no problem asking for what they want! Somewhere in our growing up years, we lost those qualities, but we need to recover them. Without fear or hesitation and coupled with belief and faith, God wants us to… Ask for his message, his words to put onto the page. Seek him and his wisdom for how to do what he's called us to do. Knock on the doors God leads us to. But also realize our books are like knocking on someone's door. Those who buy them have opened their door to our words. Our marketing is a knock on someone's door. We are God's children, and he delights in us. He isn't going to hesitate to give us what we ask, seek, and knock for.
