Pray Your Business Into Existence
To begin in business means to first prepare with God's blessing. When you know, what you know spiritually, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:6
Begin your journey with prayer. "The effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16
To understand the will of God, means to know that all things that are good in His eyesight are of His will. When I first started my business, I didn't put God first. I didn't pray and ask His blessings over my business. The confusion, doubt and non-focus ultimately led to failure. Oh I prayed but not about business. Don't ever forget this, every good thing, every gift and every plan comes from God. "If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it." God began to give me the desire to pray not only for my family and others but for my business as well. In doing so He gave me revelation knowledge and wisdom to understand the path I was about to embark on.
One very important piece of wisdom I learned is that prosperity comes from the obedience and consistency of our faith. "Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God." Creating a relationship with God and reading the word of God will give you exactly what you need to manifest your dream. Another wisdom tip is, as Christians we are required to be "Christ-like." It is a prerequisite to obtaining prosperity whether it be spiritually, financially or business minded individuals.
Also, to give of yourself is a powerful path to achieving your desires. A very good friend once told us, "If you see a need, meet it." It's really simple to give and it does not always mean that you must give financially. There are several ways to give, for example, share your positive knowledge with others who are struggling with certain issues. Perhaps you are knowledgeable of business resources, marketing, designing web sites, creating graphics, programming, telemarketing, writing articles, etc., whatever it is, share with others who are less fortunate.
Now, ask yourself this question, "What is your inspiration to start your own business?"
My answer: My inspiration comes from God, the Holy Spirit. I've learned that God's plan for us will be fulfilled when we recognize that our talents, gifts and any inspiration comes from Him and that only what we do for Christ will last.
Pray about your desire to be in business. Listen to your spirit for the answers and don't give up! Failure is something that is chosen - not given. Persistence is just one of the keys to success, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13.
"Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed." Proverbs 16:22

Interesting post.
I would describe my Small Business Enterprise as certainly "Inspired" - because it was aimed as primarily a mission and it has been fufilling that joyously - however, a little helpless in terms of profitability and networking - and equal ingredient to running a business you would agree...
I would be interested in interacting with you on this subject... could you mail me at wakeuptj@lycos.com? I'll reply with details. Thanks in advance. Thomas.
