The Revelation Of A Company

Before I came here to Florida, I was literally running Unhindered Creations all by myself. For a full year and a half, I was literally consumed with “trying” to get my company off the ground, and working to draw new clients to it, dealing with bills associated with the company, along with dealing with my own personal bills, and much more! But later on, I realized that something was “missing” from the equation, as I was noticing that things just weren’t working out for me. I was stressed, tired, frustrated, and was constantly asking the Lord “why” all that was happening to me. The Lord already knew that I just wasn’t “fit” for a regular, 8-5 job, and that a special job had to be created for me. So, looking back on the entire experience I had in running my own company under my own strength, I found out the major component that was missing in all of it, and that was simply the REVELATION of HIM….

To be frank, it was the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ (i.e. HIM) that was missing in it. I was a Methodist boy growing up, and later came up in the Baptist and Full Gospel religions, and yes, I heard the WORD of the Lord just about all my life, but because I was so distracted with “trying” to live, I couldn’t really HEAR what the Lord was saying. Again (and this is a big point here….), Revelation was coming forth towards me regarding not just myself, but also REGARDING MY OWN COMPANY, but I wasn’t able to hear and RECEIVE what the Lord was saying, which actually was quite simple: He had PURPOSED to create Unhindered Creations through HIS REVELATION towards me! But, I was trying to create the company AS I SAW FIT, and through MY own efforts, and I ended up experiencing more stress in my life than I had experienced before….

You see, beforehand, I was “ministering to live,” and now, I’m “living to minister.” What do I mean by this? Simple: Beforehand, I (and notice I said “I….”) was concerned about surviving in this world, keeping food on the table, etc., which bred frustration, insecurity, anger, fear, depression, anxiety, condemnation, and much more; BUT, now, the Lord has CAUSED me to live unto Him (and this same thing can happen to all of you who are “called” out by Him too!), and because my focus has been on Him (through His WORD/REVELATION), Unhindered Creations has been growing steadily (which has bred peace, comfort, joy, strength, self-control, patience, security, longsuffering, and much more!)!…. You see, too often, many of us in business treat our company/ministry as the “means” of putting food on the table to survive, etc.. But who said that YOU were the one that had to be concerned with that entire way of living, when there is ONE that comes and lives on the inside of us (i.e. His Spirit), and can be the “means” (or driving force) behind us not just surviving, but thriving?….

In essence, the Lord is literally growing Unhindered Creations right now via His WORD/REVELATION! All I’ve done is HEAR HIS WORD, and remained focused on the things of the Lord, and because of that, He has “shed light,” or granted different thoughts to me regarding why, what, and how Unhindered Creations is to be as a company. The various details that go into doing day-to-day business (like the logistics, contract forms, designs of the website and printed materials, what to offer, how to approach clients, etc.) has already been spoken by the Lord through His WORD, so now I’m simply HEARING and RECEIVING what was already said by Him, and now I’m watching HIM (not me) grow the company in ways I never thought possible!…

SO, my friends, this article was written to announce to you that there is a NEW PARADIGM (i.e. new way of thinking) out here regarding how we do business, and that Paradigm is the Lord Jesus Christ. In essence, when we are focused on Him (and notice that this is something that ONLY HE can bring, not us….), then our businesses/ministries FLOW from Him, and things are ADDED to us! In other words, we LIVE to minister, and rely on the Lord to take care of finances, operations, people, payroll, logistics, and all the other components that go into business. Besides, if He is Lord over our businesses, then it REALLY IS on Him to make it happen, wouldn’t you say?….

So yes, ladies and gentlemen, dudes and “dudesses,” (lol) Jesus Christ REALLY IS Lord, and He REALLY CAN deal with all the situations and circumstances that we face regarding not just our businesses/ministries, but our own selves. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that when we allow the Lord to BE Lord over our own companies, it REALLY DOES provide relief, comfort, strength, peace and so much more! Now, of course, there were (and still are) times where I felt the “pressure” of trying to run the company to survive, but I’ve always been comforted by the fact that Unhindered Creations is no longer my company; instead, it is HIS company, and that HE is guiding and growing this company as only He can!

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Unhindered Creations. That, in essence, is the REVELATION of a Company….
