🌱🌱Is This Why Your Blog Isn't Growing? Part 2🌱🌱

Hola Jesus Blogger!

So, yesterday I talked about why your blog might not be growing.

Bottom line: You aren't spending time with Jesus. You need to cut out all the noise.

Today, I'm going to tackle an issue very near and dear to my heart.

Those of you who are doing (most) everything right and still aren't seeing success.

You're praying. You're fasting. You have balance in your home/work life. You're pinning. Your posting. Your networking. Your content is spectacular. Your blog design is professional.

But it just isn't clicking for some reason.

Oh, fellow saint...I feel you.

While I do have other thoughts on why Christian bloggers don't succeed (with lots of practical suggestions that I'll have to save for another email)...I have a word of encouragement that the LORD has implanted into my heart for the past three years.

He said to me: (and this isn't verbatim)

Some of you, I'm holding back for a certain time. Just like a coach holds back the fastest runner until the last leg of the relay race, some of you I'm holding back for a specific time when you'll be the most powerful. There is a season coming when I will need bold writers and bloggers and speakers to preach truth to a dying world. To release them before their time would be a waste. They might feel like a bucking bronco in a pen waiting to be released, but soon the horn will sound and the door will be open to them.

Ya'll...this word spoken to me has set me free of my fear that I'm not a good enough writer. It's empowered me to keep pushing through, honing my blogging craft while I wait on God's timing.

You see...this world is going downhill really fast lately.

It's like a ball of twine dropped from the top of a building. As it falls, it unravels and gains momentum. Faster and faster.

We are at that place in society. All hell seems to be breaking loose. I wrote last week about Pinterest purposely pushing down Christian content. Well, this week it got even more nutty. Google is trying to rig the 2020 election. Whistlerblowers are coming out everywhere. Pride month has reach a new level of pushing their beliefs on Christians (a bill was just proposed that would limit what Christian pastors can say from the pulpit about LGBTQ).

And it's almost time for some of God's boldest and bravest to go forth with a message of salvation to a world that DOES NOT want to hear that they need a Savior. God's calling some of you bloggers to speak to and against the darkness in ways that only you and Him know. But you know I'm talking to you. The time is short...and God needs your voice. Without it, people will spend eternity away from their Creator.

So, if you have been doing it all (almost) perfectly but yet haven't experienced "success" yet...I hope this "word" of God spoken has encouraged you that your blog might not be growing because God's not released you yet.

Take this time to hone your craft, perfect your message and spend even more time asking him to prepare you for the future tasks He has for you.

And if you thinking...neither Part 1 or Part 2 is me...wait until my final email on Monday...where I'll give you practical advice on what you might be doing wrong.
