How do I know what business to start?

Hey everyone,

So if you are not aware, I do a periscope on Saturdays at 10am.  I am going to try to be more consistent with writing notes about it because I think the Lord gives me information for you to take away and apply to your life . . . So check out the scope but also write these things down:

You can find a link to the video by joining me on Google + or by following the Live Life Project Collection . . .



What I know:

• The Kingdom is moving forward.   The Lord is giving his people ideas about business.  What I see is a people coming out of mind bondage and starting to operate in Kingdom principles. . .

You are the head and not the tail

You are above and not beneath

You are made for great things!

• The Holy spirit has given you ideas to move forward in business, entrepreneurship, and non-profits.  He is giving you ideas on how to help people, help communities, and to grow organizations for the betterment of a particular territory.  The expansion is happening.  You are supposed to start now!

How do you know what business to start?

God has probably talked to you about starting your business, but you are not hearing him clearly enough.  This is why you need to build your relationship with the Lord so that you can hear and understand the directions he is giving to you.

There is a reason why you got fired from your job . . .

There is a reason why your spouse left you. . .

There is a reason why you were separated from that church. . .

There is a reason why you started thinking differently about how to live this life!

God is calling you to something greater!!!

You are suppose to use your gifts, talents, and abilities that God has given you to expand the territory he has given you.  It is time for a major mind shift and the way that you are thinking. . . .

Think about this:  What is that thing that you spend time on when you are not working your job?  What is that thing that you spend your money on?  What is that thing that you don't count as a gift but you do it so easily and everyone asks you to do it . . . What is the thing that you are known for . . The thing that you will lose sleep over?  This is the thing that you do.  This is the passion that God has given you to explore and grow.

Write down you talents.  Write down your gifts.  What dreams do you have about how to use these things in your life?  Your dreams are not crazy!!!  Your dreams are real.  The vision that God has given you is real.  Start off small, build your foundation, and move into the next level of your purpose.

You are being trained for this!

Your whole life was designed to teach you about your purpose!

#1  Figure out what your business is going to be by exploring who you are and what your gifts are.  

#2  Make up your mind to make the Holy Spirit the CEO of your company.  Done deal, he is hired!

#3  Get a journal, start writing down everything that he tells you to do, step by step . . .

#4  Pray on the regular.  Figure out what your pray strategy is going to be and make it part of your everyday life.

You need to pray specifically and strategically

Pray that the Lord:

1. Organize your mind
2. Organize your Relationships
3. Organize your home life/church life/ work life: these things all need to become one
4. Organize and get your money mind recalibrated.

I talk about what each of these things means and why they are important on my scope:

New starts:  How do I know what business to start?

check out the video . . . these are my notes on this Saturday live video scope, along with the following books/Authors:

Mike Murdock:  He will give you specific information on how to sow seed, the purpose of sowing seed, and the different types of seed there is.
Read: "Dream Seeds"

T.D. Jakes:  Check out his book about prioritizing your purpose and entrepreneurship.  Look up "Destiny" and "Soar"

Terri Savelle Foy:  You need to get your mind organized!! Trust me, this one is good for you: "Declutter your Way to Success."  

Francis Shovel Shinn : "The Game of Life and How to Play" Listen to this today!!!

Warning!!

To all of those who are just starting your journey. . . do not get caught up with the new age movement!!  Jesus has sent us help, and that is the Holy Spirit.  Let the Holy Spirit guide you in all understanding.  Let the Word of God (The Bible)  be the foundation of all truth in your life.

Motivation for Monday: Know your why

You can do this, you can live this life!  You are not alone.  Jesus is with you every step of the way.  He is walking with you through every trouble and every trial.  Sometimes it may not feel like it but you have to keep telling yourself:

He will never leave me nor forsake me 

This is a promise from our God, so stay motivated.  Keep watching inspirational videos, keep reading your word, keep listening to the word of God.  It is good food for your spirit and this nourishment will manifest in your life!

 

Thank you once again for reading this blog and sharing with others . . . I try my best to share with you what God is sharing with me.

 

Had to share these videos with you because they were very inspirational to me.

Everyone's struggle is real, and everyone's story is their own until it is time to share it.  You must know why you are here.  You must know why you are living this life.  This life is not about the pursuit of happiness, instead it is about doing a work for God.  You must learn your why.  This is why I encourage you in these post to learn and follow your true purpose in life.  You must learn and follow your true vision, the one that God has written for you . . . 

God has written your story so that someday you can triumph, then share it with others!

 

It is the truth that we must live this life that we were given . . .

It is also our responsibility to live as examples for Christ's Kingdom.

Inky Johnson is a true inspiration of what it means to follow your purpose. . . 

I would like to pose these questions to you . . .

What do you do when you thought you had a vision for your life but things aren't working out,

 

When you thought that you had everything figured out but your life is in ruins,

 

When you thought the direction that you were going was a gift from God, until you hit a huge road block,

What do you do when God says no?

 

Think about it and check out Inky's story here.

Always stay motivated friends.  Stay encouraged to Live your life on Purpose!

until next time

Have Vision and Know your Purpose: Visioneering by Andy Stanley

 

 

 

Visioneering

I read books relative to finding my purpose. I want to gain a better understanding of what I am supposed to be doing in this life. This is why I read and I study about the purpose that God has written for me. What is my destiny? Why am I here on this earth?

Day by day it is my mission to know what I am supposed to be doing with my life. First step I know is developing my relationship with the Lord. I thank God for his guidance in my spiritual journey and my spiritual growth. Second step is helping others. I know that it is part of my purpose to get people started on their journey to find purpose. Third step is identifying and understanding the vision. Once we know that we are made for something bigger, God will give us a vision for our life. The vision at first is only a glimpse of the future, of the possibilities available in our lives. When we start to get clear on the vision, we have a better idea of what we are supposed to be doing day by day on purpose.

I have told you before that I am reading this book Visioneering by Andy Stanley and I want to share with you some quotes from the book that just might change your life!

It is so very important to be in the right environment in order for your vision to be nurtured and grow into maturity. Some of us don’t know what to do or where to go in order for our vision to come into fruition. It is hard to find like minds that will help support your vision. This is why I think it is so good to read books that can grow your understanding in subjects that you are not clear on.

I know that God has given me a vision, but I wasn’t too sure on what it all meant . . .Visioneering is a great outline of what a vision is, how one should work towards it, and the obstacles that will and must come on your journey to achieve it.

I am so glad that I read it and I will continue to study it . . .

So what is vision?

Briefly, a vision is something that God places in your heart to achieve after he has given you a picture of what it will look like in the future. It is something that uses your gifts and abilities to further the Kingdom of God. Vision is when you have the desire to complete an assignment that God has placed in your heart to do. You may not know how it is going to happen exactly, but you are now tied to it. You may not have all the details, but you are answering a call to the importance of what you see in the future. You feel a pull towards it that doesn’t just fade away. Your vision then becomes even more real than your current reality!

If you didn’t know, I am the art teacher for purpose who writes, creates, and promotes content that will help you find your purpose in life. It is now my life’s mission to connect you to the Lord and the necessary information to help you find your purpose in this life. When you find your true purpose, you find your place in God’s Kingdom, you will find the work that you are supposed to do for the building up of his kingdom.

Therefore, I present to you some things that stood out in this book that will help you on your journey to find your purpose. Perhaps you won’t read the book this year or next year, but I want to get you started on understanding the purpose of your vision and the importance of knowing your purpose.

These are quotes that will help you understand your purpose. . .

“Missing out on God’s plan for our lives must be the greatest tragedy this side of eternity. Granted this world offers a truckload of options when it comes to possible visions to pursue. But you were tailor-made, carefully crafted, minutely detailed for a selected divine agenda.”

P14

“Visions are born in the soul of a man or woman who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be”

P17

Your vision will begin to feel like a moral imperative. As the burden in you grows, you will feel compelled to take action.

P25

“Don’t allow the seeming improbability of your vision to keep you from developing a strategy . . . Go ahead and develop a plan . . . Plan as if you know someone was going to come along and give you an opportunity to pursue your vision.”

P35

“God has you where he wants you. He is a master strategist. You are an important component in his strategy . . . God is using your circumstances to position and prepare you to accomplish his vision for your life.”

P49

“. . . If it is just a good idea, you have to make it happen. When God gives you a vision, there’s a sense in which you stand back and watch it happen.”

(I wrote it down but lost the page number)

“Spiritually speaking, faith is confidence that God is who he says he is and that he will do what he has promised to do. Faith is not a power or a force. It is not a vehicle by which we can coerce God into something against his will. It is simply an expression of confidence in the person and character of God. It is the proper response to the promise or revelation of God.”

P63

“When God first lays something on your heart for you to do, don’t tell anybody. . . To share a vision prematurely usually guarantees a less than warm reception.”

P75

“This world is filled with people who stopped one question short of finding an avenue that would allow them to pursue their vision.”

P79

“What could be and should be won’t be until God allows it to be.”

P83

“We must paint a vividly clear picture in the minds and hearts of our children of what they can become in their character, conduct, and even their careers. . . it is incumbent upon us as stewards of these precious lives to introduce them to their potential, to lift their eyes off of today’s realities and focus them on tomorrow’s possibilities.”

P 114

“Visions don’t become reality until somebody is willing to jump in.”

P127

“If God has birthed a vision in your heart, the day will come when you will be called upon to make a sacrifice to achieve it. And you will have to make the sacrifice with no guarantee of success.”

P129

“It is ok to have problems, it is not okay to ignore them.”

P173

“Maintain your moral authority at all cost. As a visionary, it is your primary point of leverage. Without it, you are no longer a leader worth following.”

P185

I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.

Nehemiah (bible)

“To accomplish the important things you must learn how to say no to some of the good things.”

P205

“Don’t allow criticism to distract you. If need be, vent to the father and then channel you excess energy back into the thing he has commissioned you to do.”

(again page?, I'll look it up later)

“Don’t allow what could take place to cause you to back down from pursuing what ought to take place.”

P214

“God’s ultimate plan for your life reaches beyond the vision he’s given you for your family, business, ministry, and finances. He has positioned you in your culture as a singular point of light. A beacon in a world that desperately needs to see something divine, something that is clearly not of this world.”

P225

“Don’t sacrifice key relationships while pursuing your vision.”

P230

And that is mostly what I got out of the book about finding and following your vision. This was a really good book and I do recommend it. It follows the story of Nehemiah and outlines what it really means to have a vision from God. This is a book that you need in order to prepare you for the Kingdom.

Get Ready to Receive your vision!!

Remember in order to Live your Life on purpose . . .

you should be reading and learning on purpose

Until Next Time

Vision Matters to everyone . . .

There is no such thing as a non-spiritual aspect of your life . . . you are a Spirit . . . your whole life is spiritual.

I told you a few weeks ago that I am reading a book called "Visioneering."  so far it is very good and I am going to do a review on it soon.  I think this one point is very important for the whole world to know . . . Your vision matters to God because God wrote it for you.  He has given us free will to navigate ourselves to it.  Unfortunately, this world is made up with a bunch of false rules and promises that mislead us.  It is easy for us to lose sight of what is really important.  Your vision matters and I think is is so important for you to pick up this book . . .

This is a God thing . . . This life is a life that God has blessed us with . . . This is vital information for every living soul on this earth . . . This is not just for Christians, but when you understand who you are, then you will also be a follower of the son of God . . .  God is not the author of confusion, it is very simple really.  God made you for a purpose and a reason.  Every aspect of your life belongs to God.

Andy Stanly wants you to think about your vision.  He writes the following:

 

For example, somebody might say, “I’m not hoping to start a church or ministry or anything like that. I’m trying to get a business off the ground. What does that have to do with ‘God’s overarching vision for the world’?”

If you have a similar question in mind, think about this for a moment: God does not compartmentalize our lives.

From God’s perspective, there are no spiritual versus or nonspiritual components of your life. He makes no distinction. There is no secular division of your life. You are a spiritual being. Therefore, everything you are involved in has spiritual overtones. He sees you holistically.

The Christians in the city of Corinth believed there was a division between the soul and the body. They thought they could sin with their bodies and it would have no impact on their souls. Paul pointed out that no such division existed. He told them that they were to glorify God with their bodies.

When Christ purchased you at Calvary, he purchased all of you: body, soul, and spirit. There is no division. You are to glorify God through your actions, regardless of where they take place and what role you are in at the time. You are to glorify God as a spouse, parent, friend, employee, boss, and citizen. What you do at the office, then, is no more or less spiritual than what you do at church or at home.

Consequently, there is a spiritual element to your vision regardless of which category of life it emanates from. There are no secular pursuits. Your vision does not exist apart from your responsibility to glorify God. The challenge is to discover the link.

Spend some time pondering this question: How can my heavenly Father be glorified through my vision?

 

This is what I think about . . . what can I do that will be evidence that my heavenly Father is the head spirit running the show!

Glory be to God !!

 

It is us who messes it up, it is God who sets everything back to working order.

-Until next time
