I shared something this weekend in my message that I don’t think I’ve ever shared publicly. A few days after my first book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, came out I was speaking at a conference with Tommy Barnett. Tommy is the consummate visionary. After he spoke, he invited people to come forward for a multiplication anointing. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if that was in the Bible. But if Tommy was offering then I was taking.

In all seriousness, I believe God is in the multiplication business. He wants you to be a hundred times more fruitful than you are now. Not for you. For Him. And it’s not just a quantitative multiplication. It’s also a qualitative multiplication. But in God’s economy, 5 + 2 = 5000 R12.

Long story short, I asked God to multiply my book for His purposes. I knew that 95% of books don’t sell 5000 copies. But in a moment of bold faith, I asked God for 25,000 copies. But the truth is, in the deep recesses of the spirit where we dream God-sized dreams, my whisper number was 100,000 copies.

While I was writing the book I had a team of NCCers praying for me. They also prayed for divine appointments that the book would get into the right hands at the right time. The reason I have a sense of destiny about my books is that everyone who reads one of my books has been prayed for. That’s why I don’t view a book sold as a book sold. I view every book sold as a prayer answered.

Well over 100,000 prayers have come off the press, and I’m believing God to answer a quarter million prayers. But I won’t tell you my whisper number.
