256 How To Surrender Your Business To God

Welcome back to the Christian Women in Business podcast. We are on the last episode of a mini series about integrating our faith and business. And today I want to make it all about you. so the final topic is surrendering. Surrendering all the thoughts, all the different things that have been in this past mini series and praying for you, praying for your business, as we move forward.

And so I want to read James chapter four to you, about the submitting and say a prayer. So in this mini series, as you probably already know, we’ve covered quite a lot of different things and I’ve asked you quite a lot of different questions, challenged and pretty much invited you to share your whole business with God and understanding what that means.

And then what to expect when we do push forward and how to deal with it. And now it’s all about surrender. So going through those plans, those vision, mission values, those core beliefs that might be stopping us from pushing forwards today. We want to give it all to God and surrender everything to him let God do what he needs to.

Let’s James 4 together, and then let’s pray. What causes you fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the desires that you battle within you? You desire, but you do not have, so you kill. You can vet, but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.

When you ask God, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think says, without reason, that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us, but he gives more grace?

That is why the says God opposes the proud, but shows to the humble. Submit yourselves then to God. Resist the devil. and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded. Grieve, mourn, and wail.

Change your laughter to mourning and joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up. Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them to speak against the law and judges it, you will judge the law. You are not keeping it.

When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one lawgiver and judge, the one who is able to save and destroy, but you, who are you to judge your neighbor? Now listen, you who say today or tomorrow, We will go this, we will go to this, or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.

Why do you not even know what will happen tomorrow? What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, if it is the Lord’s will, we will live and we will do this and we will do that. As it is, you boast your arrogant schemes. Such boasting is evil.

If anyone then knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, is sin for them. Now I’m not condemning you as sinners in this. What I am saying is, let’s go to God. After all, He is the One. He is the Father. He is Yahweh. Let’s humble ourselves before God, the Almighty, who does do the judging. Not that from others, or that we judge ourselves, Let’s lift our plans to him.

Let’s get realigned for we don’t know what’s going to come tomorrow, but we can praise him in the present today and ask that if it’s God’s will, then these things shall happen. Dear Lord, thank you so much for this beautiful woman sat here today. Thank you for her heart. Thank you for the dreams that you’ve placed in her heart as well and in her mind.

I pray for your unwavering peace to come over her right now.  That she would feel your joy, your heavenly joy and And that we humbly kneel down to you today, Father God, and give you any core beliefs that aren’t of you or from you, that they’re to be gone, and that you replace them with heavenly beliefs.

Amen. that you show us areas in our business where we’ve not included you and in our hearts as and ask that you knock on the door and provide us a safe place to open them and for you to come in and any blocks from principalities that they begun in the name of and we give praise to you for the success that is to come for you As we move forward with aligning ourselves with you, Father I ask that you show each lady anything that’s not of alignment so that she can take it away and you show her and illuminate what is in alignment or how to get back in alignment so that she can move forth for you through her and that your protection would protect. Finance, websites, family members, health, everything Father God that you’d put a hedge of protection around each and every woman and her whole life, her soul, her mind, her and that your blood would cover Show her your path, show her the steps, give her wisdom, give her allow her to feel your love in some particular way today, Father God, that she feels Allow your love to fill her heart, Holy Spirit.

Let her feel so deeply in of when she’s going in the wrong direction in her business, and give her complete peace for the right Where resources are needed, we command them to come from heaven and from earth, and that all resources and money to be, put to the woman who needs it that’s rightly, rightfully hers.

And that resources are provided so that she can move forward with the vision and mission that you’ve given her, Father God. And that she feels at such peace with her personal mission as well. And if she doesn’t know what that is yet, Father God, for you to reveal that to her.

I ask for visions and dreams in these women’s as they sleep peaceful ones. As you prepare them, give insight, Father God, spiritual, heavenly insight that could only be from you. We thank you for these insights. We thank you for your power, your authority. And we ask that you use us in any way that you need to on this earth to help fulfill your will, Father God, to our lives and our businesses as a whole.

You first, as always. We thank you so much and we love you so much, Father God. In your precious name we pray. Amen. That’s it for our mini series. It’s been such a pleasure to just touch on the top of the iceberg, all about faith. and business. Obviously there’s so many more subjects to cover but that’s what we’ll cover for this mini series and in the future we might cover more, we might go into more depth but for now we’ll leave you with this prayer, we’ll leave you in this moment with Jesus and I invite you to keep asking Jesus to reveal, to show, to meet you where you’re at and if you do need help doing that come and join us at the next Thrive event, we’d love to have you.

I’m SJ, you’re listening to Christian Women in Business, and we’ll catch you next time.
