There's a lot of kingdom beauty businesses that need to be built and they haven't been started because you are letting fear take over, you're letting people in your head and you can't hear the voice of God telling you to get this thing started that he put in you, girl. I did not plan this episode, but let me just say welcome. I'm your host, whitney. Welcome to Beauty Businesses for Christ podcast. Thank you for tuning in. If you clicked on this, this means this message is for you. I need you to understand this.
Speaker 1:This is about other people. I've been in your place. I've been in your place where I've delayed, and I delayed what God was calling me to do because I was so fearful and I was being selfish. The Lord put in my spirit before I started this ministry. He told me would you sit there and be so selfish and not share the things I've called you to share because you're so scared? He told me how could you be so selfish to keep a blessing from my daughter? And you're doing the same thing by not opening up that beauty business, by not expanding your business? I did not plan to sit here and talk about this, but I just felt the Holy Spirit to urge me to to speak to you and to encourage you in this, because there is so much fear amongst his daughters that we need to rebuke In the mighty name of Jesus. We need to rebuke this fear because it's holding up so many kingdom businesses that need to be built. We cannot, we cannot be disobedient to what God is calling us to do and, girl, I've been there.
Speaker 1:This ministry, beauty Businesses for Christ, this is a delayed, this is a delayed thing. This should have been out a couple years ago, but I let the devil take over my mind, I let fear cripple me, and I can't allow that to happen to you, girl. I can't. So that's why I'm speaking out to you now and I'm trying to encourage you to get this thing going and to trust God with what he's put forth in you. You cannot let the enemy take a hold of your mind and take control. Go to the Lord and pray to him, cry out to to him and he will help you. In the name of Jesus, he will help you, girl, trust me in this. I've been exactly where you're at right now.
Speaker 1:I know what you're feeling. It is a difficult feeling to go through, but you are not alone in this. You have to give it to the Lord. You have to come to him in prayer so that he can help you get through this, so that he can put forth in you what he's called you to do, because all things are possible with God and you have him. You have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you.
Speaker 1:But you have to stop listening to these lies. You have to get into some quiet time with the Lord, because we need your business, we need that expansion of your business. There are people who need to hear about Jesus through you. They need to see the glory of the Lord through you, girl, and people are going to miss out on their blessings because you are scared, you're being fearful, you're crippled in fear right now, and I am rebuking that in the name of Jesus. There are people who need to hear from you specifically, just like I know there's women who needed to hear from me.
Speaker 1:I knew it for a long time and I was being disobedient to the Lord. I feel the Lord saying are you going to be a Joshua? Someone who was just obedient to the Lord, no matter what, if he didn't ask no questions, he did what. The Lord saying are you going to be a Joshua? Someone who was just obedient to the Lord, no matter what If he didn't ask no questions. He did what the Lord commanded him to do. Yeah, he was scared. Yeah, he was fearful. The Lord told him not to fear and not to be discouraged and to trust him, and that the Lord was with him. The Lord told Joshua this, and Joshua believed him and went forth and did what he had, what he was supposed to do. This and Joshua believed him and went forth and did what he had, what he was supposed to do.
Speaker 1:Or are you going to be a Jonah, who knew the Lord was seeking him out, who knew the Lord was calling him to do a thing, but he ran off, was scared, didn't want to do what God was calling him to do, ended up getting swallowed up in a whale, and it delayed what God was calling him to do. Which one are you going to be? Are you going to be a Joshua, someone who obeys immediately? Are you going to be a Jonah, someone who is running away from the Lord and being disobedient? Yeah, jonah ends up doing what the Lord calls him to do, but it was a delay. He should have automatically did what the Lord was calling him to do and I'm telling you and I'm urging you the Lord needs you to do what he's calling you to do.
Speaker 1:We cannot have these delays. The time is coming where we have got to get out here and get things prepared for when Jesus comes back. Time is literally running out, girl, and there is a lot of us. He is calling and urging us to get these things going and we're letting fear cripple us. And there is no fear when it comes to God. There should only be trust, there should only be faith, and that's it. And, girl, I'm speaking to myself because I have let fear take a hold of me so much, because it was just like you. Just you don't know what's going to happen or you feel like you're going to fail.
Speaker 1:But, girl, if God is leading you, if God is in this, you will not fail God. When he is in control, things happen perfectly, in alignment and in his will, the way they are supposed to, because he is the, he is our sovereign God, he is our almighty Lord, he is the holy, holy, holy one. He is in full control. He already knows what's going to happen in the future. He already knows what's going to be done, but he needs you to do it and he's calling you to do it, but because you're not trusting him, you're delaying what needs to be done. So, girl, get that business started, get that business expanded. We Are servants of the Lord, we are his disciples. We have got to be out here sharing his word. People need to see the glory of Jesus through us. They need to see the goodness of the Lord through these businesses, and it can only be done if we say yes and obey the Lord and what he's telling us to do.
Speaker 1:So, girl, I hope this brought you some encouragement. I just felt led to tell you this, and I'm going to end this with a prayer. The beauty industry specifically needs this prayer. Father, god, we come to you and we thank you and we honor you. Lord, how holy is your name? Lord, we thank you for who you are. We know that your will is going to be done on earth as it is in heaven, lord, and we thank you for your goodness. Lord, lord, I pray. I pray that these businesses that you have put on this woman's heart comes to fruition. I believe that, in Jesus's name, I believe that you are going to press in on her heart and guide her and lead her to open up that business, to expand that business, so that you can get the glory and the honor and the praise that you deserve, lord.
Speaker 1:People need to hear about you through these businesses. People need to see your goodness and your glory through these businesses, lord. So please, lord, I'm asking you to press on her heart and allow her to trust you into believing you, to have faith in you. I rebuke the enemy trying to take from this woman. Lord, the victory is yours, jesus name, the victory is yours, and I thank you.
Speaker 1:Lord, give her the courage. Lord, tell her and I thank you, lord, give her the courage. Lord, tell her that you are with her. Lord, tell her that you will not forsake her or leave her. Lord, tell her you got her in this business. Lord, Remind her that this is about others and not about herself. Lord, remove the pride out of her heart, remove the fear out of her heart, lord, and give her the courage to go forth with opening and expanding that business that you have called her to do. And, lord, I thank you for your goodness, I thank you for your grace and your mercy upon our lives. I thank you for your forgiveness that you have given us when we do disobey you, lord. I thank you for that, lord. Thank you, lord. May your presence just be in this place. May your presence be where she is at, lord, may you just take over control and just lead us and guide us into what you want us to do. Lord, for your kingdom, because it's about your kingdom, lord. It is about you, lord. It's about giving you the glory, Lord. This is about you, lord, and I thank you, lord. Thank you in Jesus's mighty name, amen.
