Bishop Dag Heward-Mills does not begin writing at a desk—he begins in the presence of God. Before chapters are outlined or pages are typed, there is a season of prayer. A season of seeking, waiting, and listening. His books are not products of personal ambition. They are the result of communion with the Holy Spirit. The messages come as burdens. The chapters come as instructions. The content comes from heaven.
Many of his most impactful books began as sermons preached in a camp meeting, a Bible study, or a shepherd’s conference. But those messages were not spontaneous thoughts—they were first conceived in prayer. In moments alone with God, direction is given. And that direction is treated with great care. It is written down, guarded, expanded, and prayed over again.
This is what makes the books powerful. They are not written from the outside in. They are birthed from the inside out—from the quiet place where God’s voice speaks clearly and His Word is treasured deeply.
A Spiritual Process of Obedience
Writing a book, for Bishop Dag, is not about productivity. It is about obedience. When the Lord impresses a subject on his heart, it becomes a divine assignment. He doesn’t treat it lightly. He carries the message, meditates on it, and writes under the same spiritual weight as preaching. The process is not rushed. It is sacred.
From the first paragraph to the final edit, there is a spiritual atmosphere surrounding the work. The writing is often done early in the morning or late at night—times when the noise of the world is silent and the voice of God is near. Every word is measured. Every example is chosen carefully. The goal is not to fill pages but to fulfill purpose.
The books are not written for applause. They are written because God spoke. And that’s what gives them authority.
Refining Revelation into Resources
Once the message is captured, it must be refined. Bishop Dag believes in structure, clarity, and presentation. He doesn’t just release raw content. He polishes it, reviews it, and ensures that what is being communicated is aligned with the Word and understandable for the reader.
He often rewrites. He often adds. He often prays again. Because the goal is not simply to share what he knows—it is to ensure that what the reader receives will bring life, conviction, and change. The Holy Spirit guides both the message and the method.
Eventually, what began in a place of prayer becomes a fully developed book. A resource. A training tool. A spiritual weapon in the hands of believers and ministers around the world.
Sent Forth to Feed the Nations
When the book is complete, it doesn’t stay on the shelf. It is sent out. It is printed in multiple languages, shipped to remote areas, used in Bible schools, and placed in the hands of leaders. These books preach where pulpits are not yet built. They teach where seminars haven’t yet reached. They disciple where mentorship is scarce.
Bishop Dag knows that the same message that started in a quiet room can reach the ends of the earth when it is written and released in faith. That’s why he continues to write. Because every time a book goes out, it carries a piece of the burden that began in prayer.
