The common denominator in
business and ministry is people. People
are the ones we minister to and they are our customers. People are the ones that serve on the helps
ministry, adjutants, board of directors and they are our employees, volunteers,
suppliers and vendors. The world is made
up of people, all shapes, sizes and personalities. Our government is run by people, the stores
are filled with people and every interaction we have to live in our homes involves
people. Even our family is made up of
people.
Now, with that being said, God
allows our lives to intersect for a reason.
We touch each other lives in ways that we can’t always comprehend at the
time. We bless each other and strangers
with a smile, kind gesture or even a word that may be simple to us, but it was
what the other person needed. If we are
open to God, we are used daily to be the answer or solution to other people’s
questions and problems.
I am the owner of Anointed
Press Graphics, where we do graphics, printing, book publishing and
websites. When I moved into my
storefront 11 years ago, I heard God say, “Karen, I called you to bring order,
but how do you know what is out of order?”
It was in my storefront location, that I began to meet so many people in
business, starting a business, five-fold ministry gifts, aspiring authors and
people who had a dream, purpose and ready to step into their destiny.
I can honestly say; I enjoy
being a part of people giving birth to what is on the inside of them and
launching into greater dimensions of what they have already been doing. But on the flipside, it has also saddened me
on how many gifted and anointed people operating in their business or ministry,
but yet ignoring the wounded person part of them. I have seen so many people cut relationships,
stop talking to me, disconnect and pretty much erase me if something didn’t go their
way.
In the beginning I used to
just put if off to God showing me what His people look like, what His leaders
look like and what the church looks like and I would pray for people in general. I was in training, being groomed by God for
the assignment that is on my life and the platform He was using was my
business.
Toward the end of 2015 and
right into 2016, I felt like the training went to another level. I encountered some things with different
customers that really began to puzzle me.
I had this one situation where I was scratching my head saying, “How did
this happen? I have never done this
before? Out of all the people I have
dealt with, how did I mess up on this person?”
I heard God say, “Karen I allowed her to touch your life so that you
would intercede.”
I have several stories I could
share, but it is really not about the stories, but how God’s people are
reacting in and to life. God also allows
our lives to intersect, to expose those hidden things that lie dormant in
us. I call them “awe ha moments.” We see each other’s gifts, talents, and
anointing, but God knows the whole man and in this hour it is about coming
to a place of recognition. Not
hiding behind your gifts, title, responsibilities or talents, but confronting
the person part of you. Well I realize
that everyone is not ready to do that, so what people do is cut whatever level
of relationship and disconnect from the person entirely. People move on like you have the issue or you
wronged them.
Well this is why God has need
of Intercessors in the Marketplace. I have seen people literally shut down
emotionally and unable to function with me.
Of course they are still functioning in their environment that does not
cause them any pressure. I have people
who are tied to me through my services they have purchased and instead of
asking me for help, they are wasting money on a service that is not fully up. Now let me explain, it is not because I
cussed them out, didn’t perform a service, or I didn’t reach out to them; but
it is because whatever the issue was at that time became the hoe that God used to
go into the ground of their soul and begin to expose and shine light on a deficit
that was already there.
So what happens, this pain
point isn’t the first time it has reared its ugly head, but because we have
become accustomed to “Keeping it moving,” we learned how to do life with these deficit’s
in our soul. We go our entire lives,
starting families, doing business, doing ministry and having church; all awhile
dismissing and not taking responsibility for our own actions, but always seeing
someone else at fault.
I have an apostolic-prophetic
call on my life, I’m a deliverance minister and I have a healing anointing; so
my assignment will speak even when I’m not physically speaking. People will back up and not realize why. My oil and assignment is speaking in the
realm of the spirit because it knows more than what I know. So when God spoke that He has need for Intercessors in the Marketplace
that means He has need of YOU.
You may say, I don’t walk in
that same calling, but if you are a believer, it is your responsibility to
intercede on behalf of God’s people and leaders once something is
revealed. If you are reading this blog,
you can no longer just write people off, talk about them or their issues, or
move on with your life because they moved on.
Now you become their intercessor.
Your prayer should be God bring
them to a place where they begin to see what you are showing them. Uncover those hidden things and open their
understanding to see they are in need of healing and help. Bring them to the place where they are ready
to receive love from you and divinely arrange the vessel you will use for their
healing. In Jesus Name. Keep praying
until you get a release to stop.
God has need of you,
beloved. You were strategically positioned
in that business, organization or ministry for more than just making
money. You are in the marketplace at
this appointed time, because your customers need more than just what you are
offering on your website. Will you
accept the assignment?
My latest book, “Kingdom
Entrepreneurship” is a MUST READ. I was
writing a blog and when I read it, God said, this is the intro to your
book. In 30 days, God downloaded this
prophetic mandate that every believer, ministry gift and entrepreneur need to
have in their arsenal. Click HERE to purchase
this book. Also available on Amazon |
