Welcome to the online home of Voices of Christ Literary (VOC) Ministries International! For the past 9 years, we have served as a safe haven for Christian prophetic writers globally, specifically those who write the secret things the Lord reveals to their heart. Holy Spirit has created an environment within us in which these writers, who are often overlooked and misunderstood, are loved, accepted, affirmed, activated and encouraged in their individuality and uniqueness in Jesus Christ.
We have become a place of refuge, safety and security where they uncover their identities through the word, walk out God's original purpose and intent for their scribal ministries, and take their rightful place in the Kingdom. Our membership includes poets, spoken word artists, playwrights, songwriters, children's book authors, journalists, novelists, devotionalists and writers of administration and instruction -- all operating under the Matthew 13:52 anointing for the present day scribe. Our mission, vision and purpose is carried out through our prophetic School of the Scribe. We are not a performance or theatrical ministry -- however, we do walk out our divine creativity and ministry unto the Lord without inhibitions; and with passion and fervency for souls. We go into places where hope is needed like nursing homes, groups homes, community centers or wherever the Lord may need us to shine His light. But our primary focus is ensuring that the scribes of the King are rooted in the word, making full proof of their ministries. Like the scribes of old, we believe in apprenticeship so to speak, and the "maturing" of the gift as the sons of God grow in their faith. Our prayer is that VOC will become a resource and home for you along your scribal journey, and that the peace and blessings of the Lord and The Scribal Anointing overtake you in this season.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Voices of Christ is works closely with the Living Waters Program coordinated by Beverly Gammalo, the Southeast Regional Overseer for Georgia, in the area of healing through the Worship Arts. Living Waters is a program developed by Desert Stream Ministry in Kansas City, Missouri. Through prayer and intercession, varying aspects of the worship arts are introduced through poetry, spoken word, monologues, prophetic mime, skits, song, prophetic dance and other art forms to promote awareness of secret sins and to facilitate confession and healing from prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, masturbation, rape, incest, sexual addiction, disease, addictions and related issues. Most recently, Holy Spirit directed a worship arts presentation entitled, sEXPOSURE: Shining the Light of Christ on Secret Sin. If you are a Christian worship artist interested in working with Voices of Christ for upcoming ministry events, visit the sEXPOSURE OPEN MIC info page and/or contact us.
WATCHING OVER THE FIRST AMENDMENT: STAY INFORMED!
Does the First Amendment matter? Yes, it does. Unfortunately, many believers give little thought to just how important this amendment, and our Constitution as a whole, is to the very fabric of our society. Increasingly, this right to speak is being attacked right in our own communities -- as the courts continue to waterdown the roots our forefathers engraved upon the foundation of our country not only in pen and ink, but in spirit. Often, many hide out in a place of complacency -- without understanding concerning the subtle chiseling away of this right to speak. So, we've provided some reputable links on our website for you to explore as Father continues to lead you to intercede and pray His will concerning our nation.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Please note that these resources are listed for your understanding, and are to be applied with guidance from Holy Spirit. Simply because we are listing a website as a resource does not indicate that Voices of Christ in anyway supports the views, positions or other information made available through and linked to these sites. We list them only as reputable places to obtain relevant and factual information about what is taking place by way of legislation and national discussion concerning this right. May the Lord lead and guide you in all truth.
PROPHETIC INSIGHT BEFORE THE PROPHETIC WORD: THE SCATTERING OF THE ARTISANS
Zechariah 1:16NKJV says, Therefore thus says the LORD:I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;My house shall be built in it,” says the LORD of hosts,And asurveyor’sline shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.”’
Yahshuah (Jesus Christ) is coming back for us with great zeal. As long as we have breath in our bodies and the end has not come, he WILL return to our cities (our congregations or souls) with mercy continuously trying to build His House in us. Will people refuse him? Of course they will. Will some accept Him? Of course some will. The point is this: He doesn’t know how to give up. And when He comes, a “surveyor’s line” – denoting our boundaries – will be stretched out before us. There will be NO CONFUSION concerning what is required.
Zechariah 1:18-20says, Then I raised my eyes and looked, and therewerefour horns. 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” So he answered me, “Thesearethe horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.And I said, “What are these coming to do?” So he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmenare coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
The word “horn” as used in this passage of scripture represent “music or worship.” In fact, it is specifically referring to Judah’s “character” of worship or lifestyle when read in context. The four craftsmen represent all manner of the “gifts of worship” – the artistic ability to create in all forms. Further historical and biblical research led by Holy Spirit will reveal that horns also had symbolic meaning similar to that of the shofar as well; and that the gifts of the craftsmen referred to being “experts or skilled artisans in ones handicraft or unique skill.”
This can be further explored in Exodus 31:1-6 which says, “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:2"See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.3And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,4to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,5in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.6And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you…”
PROPHETIC WORD: I AM BRINGING MY ARTISANS BACK TOGETHER
IMPORTANT NOTE:Please read, “The Prophetic Insight Before the Word: The Scattering of the Arts,” before reading this Word from the Lord. This will give you clarity and understanding concerning what Father is revealing below that He will do in the lives of His Worship Artists. So many discount words spoken through Fathers apostles and prophets due to so many who are liars. But I challenge you, to judge the word according to the scriptures. The scriptures clearly say that you will know that a prophet has been among you when the words they speak come to pass. I encourage you to read past words at www.scribalprophecy.net.
“There is an encounter with me through YOUR worship in the arts that you have yet to experience in the earth realm,” says the Lord. “As long as my people seek separation from my congregation the fullness of the beauty of what I seek to reveal will be hindered, held back. Now, I am destroying the factions among you. I am pulling those who have charge over you into understanding unity as I created it. SURELY, the Tabernacle of David will be restored within you and my congregation rightly fitted together. I am restoring the corporate worship of my artisans beyond the walls of men…”
I Corinthians 12:4-7 CJB:“Now there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.5Also there are different ways of serving, but it is the same Lord being served.6And there are different modes of working, but it is the same God working them all in everyone.7Moreover, to each person is given the particular manifestation of the Spirit that will be for the common good.”
“I am ending seclusion. I am disrupting and ending mini-societies. I am closing doors flesh opened and opening doors into me,” says the Lord. “The fullness of worship will be made known to you.”
31 "Shim`on (Simon), Shim`on (Simon), listen! The Adversary demanded to have you people for himself, to sift you like wheat! 32 But I prayed for you, Shim`on (Simon), that your trust might not fail. And you, once you have turned back in repentance, strengthen your brothers!" 33 Shim`on (Simon) said to him, "Lord, I am prepared to go with you both to prison and to death!" 34 Yeshua replied, "I tell you, Kefa (Peter), the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me."
The call on our lives is a threat to the kingdom of darkness. The adversary knows that when we come to understand who we are in the Kingdom – His power is demolished. So he keeps temptation before us. He keeps distractions before us. He keeps all manner of familiar sin at our feet in hope that we will pick that sin up and carry it – leaving us professing Yahshua (our Lord Jesus Christ) but walking without power. As Yahshua said here, the adversary has demanded to have us in the midst of his tirade against God and to sift us like wheat…
In the spirit, the WHEAT SIFTING process is a deliberate, methodical, diabolical (extremely cruel and evil) strategy initiated by the adversary to separate the SONS OF GOD from the very PRESENCE of the Lord. You see, farmers will tell you that BEFORE wheat goes through the “sifting” process it has ALREADY BEEN separated from foreign grains, dirt, the chaff and then washed, dried and ground.
Isn’t that amazing! In other words, the “Wheat Making” processing has already taken place. Everything that is needed to “qualify the grain as wheat” is present. I hope you hear me! YOU ARE ALREADY WHEAT! YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN SEPARATED! NOW THE REAL BATTLE BEGINS! Yahshuah wasn’t talking to a tare here. He was talking to Peter – one of his BELOVED disciples and apostles. Peter was clearly WHEAT. He had finished the hard part of the MAKING process.
Say to yourself today, “I AM WHEAT!”
The “Wheat Sifting” process comes AFTER the making. Its purpose is to separate the finer grains from the courser grains. In the spirit, we can look at this process as a shaking out or the setting apart of Father’s apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, teachers, bishops, elders, ministers of helps and the drilling down of specific administrations of ministry for a specific work. In the natural, the farmer uses this sifting process to identify which elements of the wheat will be used as flour, wheat germ, bran, or animal feed. All those grains that are separated are IMPORTANT, but each have a purpose to fulfill that is unique to its call.
It is a type of “grading process” for the farmers so-to-speak. THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE SATAN, THE ADVERSARY, ATTEMPTS TO ENTER in to the life of a mature believer and wreak havoc. He finds enjoyment and pleasure in perverting and corrupting the work of God. This is the place where the rubber hits the road as the old folk use to say because it is out of this GRADING PROCESS that true Sons of God grasp hold of their identities in Christ (Yahshua) and begin to walk in PURPOSE WITH POWER.
My God, I pray that you are following me by Holy Spirit. As Sons of God, we often look for the adversary to attack when we are most vulnerable – in that obvious baby stage or milk stage or in the midst of obvious sin or brokenness. Think about that for a moment. If blatant sin had appeared to Peter, He would have identified it immediately and moved from its path. I am a living witness that SIN DOES NOT ALWAYS COME LIKE THAT! The more mature we become in the Lord, the greater the adversary is in His methodical and diabolical attacks.
But Yahshuah (Jesus) wants us to be aware of how the adversary enters in among the MATURE, SEASONED Sons of God. So when he demanded that Peter, “LISTEN!” He was saying, “Take heed PETER… Satan is STILL AFTER YOU and his strategy is more cunning and diabolical than you could ever imagine...”
There are two main types of sifters or separators that traditional wheat farmers use. Please, people of God, listen by Holy Spirit.
The first type is a “sieve.” My grandmother had one of these, but hers was made out of a wire mesh. In the farming industry, sieves are flat trays with a screen or silk fabric on the bottom of the tray. The trays are rocked to move material through. Material enters on one end of the tray, finer material that passes though the screen or fabric is directed to one process and courser material that continues to the other end is sent to different process. Do you see this in the spirit?
You see, the adversary specializes in SIFTING THROUGH OUR FAMILIAR TEMPTATIONS. For the mature believer temptation will come LOOKING LIKE holiness and righteousness. The adversary knows he can’t get us with BLATANT sin, so he dresses it up in a heavenly manner. It has EVERYTHING YOU WANT ON IT! You follow that thing because it looks and sounds like God – not realizing you are being separating from the Body of Yahshua into the body of hell. He shakes and turns you until it is hard to recognize what is of God and what isn’t! You enter in one way, not realizing you WILL EXIT a wrong way.
The second type is called a "bolt." On the website where I obtained this info, it is described as a horizontal cylinder with a screen or silk fabric lining. Material enters the interior of the cylinder at one end. The cylinder rotates and vibrates to move material through. The bolt separates the material that passes though the screen or fabric from the material that continues out the far end. You see, this diabolical strategy is centered around keeping the Sons of God constantly and consistently BUSY, MOVING, DOING, GOING… and like the previous sifter is lined with everything you desire in your heart – every hidden lust. It rotates and vibrates consistently to give the illusion of spiritual progression --- ALL WHILE YOU ARE BEING SIFTED UNAWARE.
When His sifting is done – then you are packaged into that false you! I tell you, the adversary has a threshing floor ALSO. It's that place of reshaping what God has already created through subtle tactics. We forget that! He takes what belongs to God and manipulates it for His own purposes. The wheat process begins ON THE THRESHING FLOOR. Any farmer will tell you that.
People of God, it’s time to wake up from our slumber and truly seek to be separated unto God – no matter who it is or how intense the pain. Get up from the THRESHING FLOOR of the adversary!
James 1:13-16 The Complete Jewish Bible says, “ 13 Let no man say when he is tempted,I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: 14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death. 16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
(This post is specifically addressing those who schedule events and activities outside of prayer and for selfish, fleshly, ungodly goals and outcomes. It is in no way addressing those whose events and activities are birth in prayer and are Holy Spirit inspired.)
"Deception! Deception! Deception!" rang loudly in my spirit this morning. Father began to speak to me about event-focused ministry -- the kind of activities going on in the body that are used to draw men with the hope that the Lord is going to show up because a believer planned it. It is the type of ministry in which a believer centers their entire ministry around "events" instead of being that day-to-day witness of the gospel -- wherever they may be.
This type of activity and behavior among God's people is changing and shifting the focus of ministry from that very personal and intimate place that Jesus met believers during His walk on earth to the "show-success-performance-driven-mindset" of the world. It is causing a whole generation of believers to abandon the very foundation of what true ministry is about according to Isaiah 61 and to wait for the Lord to move in the midst of an event -- in anticipation concerning how Father might move.
