Week 1 Day 3 - March 4

Hello there! Hopefully by now all of you have begun to dive in to deep water about God's heart for business. I want to deal with just that today ... God's heart.

Sometimes, the menial and mundane tasks of business can suck us dry. Or the desire and necessity to grow and maintain can get us off track. BUT THE TRUTH is that business is on God's heart. 

Even in the garden, Adam and Eve had jobs. They were to tend the garden. It was only after the fall, that it became labor-some. My husband Paul refers to this as the difference of tending/toiling. We are called to tend the garden that the Lord gave us. It is our responsibility to steward the influence He gave us and the gifts within us.

Today I want us to celebrate the fact that the Lord desires you to have influence. He wants to release it upon you. You are a powerful person that He can trust. And God cares about hearts, structures, and business ...yours and theirs.

See if we are looking at the influence structure as a mountain, if you are not at the top of influence, then unrighteousness will. We are about having influence to further the Father's business in this Earth. It is our call. But sometimes, our of our wounds, and our of our poor theology, we can agree with this in theory, but we act out the fact that we don't REALLY believe that God wants to give us influence.

So, take a few minutes to get quiet before the Lord. I want you to ask Him for a picture of the kind of influence you are supposed to have. Then I want you to ask Him what is stopping you from believing that it will actually happen. 

For accountability, please reply to the email with your testimonies. 

FYI** Today is the day celebrated by the Jewish people called Purim. It is when they celebrate the bravery and courage that Esther displayed in going before the king. Let's ask for the same courage and bravery today!

Bless

____________, I bless you in the name of Jesus. I bless you with revelation of how influential you are. I bless you to receive the amount of trust that the Lord has for you. I bless you to embrace your call with the favor and rest that comes with it. I bless you with the courage and bravery needed to walk before kings and courts.

Declare

I declare that I am a chosen vessel of the Lord. Fashioned FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS to influence kings and nations. I am His trusted servant and I will begin to embrace the confidence that comes in knowing how HE sees me. I will no longer run from the grandness of my call, and I will posture myself to receive everything that I will need to accomplish it. I will be one that is a faithful servant.
