ESDRAS' SCROLL is the prophetic, creative writing magazine of Voices of Christ Literary Ministries International. Published two times a year - Spring & Winter - the magazine focuses exclusively on sharing the heart of God with his people concerning the times and seasons in which we live creatively.

The magazine speaks from three distinct clarion voices: (1) The heart of God, our Father, who has set the terms and conditions of mankind plainly before His people; (2) The mind of Christ - our Lord, Savior and returning King - who has given us the keys to the Kingdom and the ministry of reconciliation, and (3) The voice of Holy Spirit whose purpose is to lead us into all truth concerning God's will and purpose for our lives. The writings published speak from these three areas.

Esdras' Scroll features author and artist interviews, prophetic teachings and essays, various forms of poetry, short stories, novel excerpts, short devotions, short stories and other forms of Holy Spirit inspired creative writings that encourage, exalt, edify and warn believers -- while consistently and CLEARLY recognizing God our Father, Jesus the Son and Holy Spirit.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME ESDRAS' SCROLL?

Esdras is the Greek name for Ezra. The name literally refers to the original two books in the Old Testament which was first included in the Apocrypha and some early Jewish writings called Esdras 1 and Esdras 2. Today, those two books are best known as Ezra and Nehemiah and are an integral part of the old covenant best known as the Old Testament.

Ezra, per our studies in The Scribal Anointing Training & Demonstration Manual, is the foundational patriarch for understanding who we are as priests and present day scribes. The message Ezra carried in his heart was to live a life instructed in the Kingdom of God. In addition, Ezra's name means "HELP" and Nehemiah's name means "COMFORTER" in Hebrew.

Thus, the purpose of our magazine, Esdras' Scroll, is to walk out these definitions through prophetic scribal ministry before the Lord and n the hearts and minds of those who read it.
