Trusting God’s Guidance: A Journey of Faith and Opportunity

“I want you in the room,” God said to me as I prayed about attending a professional women’s event in Florida. The cost was significant—time, money, and energy—but I knew I needed to follow His leading, so I went.

Stepping Out in Faith

I arrived with Jessica Baker and Amanda Helma, ready to meet successful business owners and learn from their experiences. I wasn’t sure what God had in store for me there, but I kept my heart open, trusting that His purpose would reveal itself.

An Unexpected Opportunity to Speak

On the first evening, I had the opportunity to speak briefly as one of the event’s sponsors. I shared what God was speaking over these women for the next season and highlighted the importance of hiring prayer intercessors for their businesses. I ended my message with an offer to pray for anyone who needed it.

The Power of Prayer Spreads

The response was overwhelming. Even women who hadn’t attended that first night heard about the invitation and reached out for prayer. Throughout the week, I sent many women to Jessica for intercession, and when I asked how many people she had prayed for, she said she had lost count.

Launching a New Ministry

One evening, we had dinner with a woman who felt a deep connection to Jess’s ministry. She ended up hiring Jess as her company’s prayer intercessor, marking a new beginning for her. This was more than just a conference—it was the official launch of Jessica’s ministry. What started with her publishing a book has now blossomed into an opportunity to support her family and bless others through her gift of intercession.

Why Your Business Needs a Prayer Intercessor

Many business owners face spiritual battles and isolation, where a friend’s prayer isn’t enough to break through. They need dedicated intercessors standing in the gap for their companies to combat the spiritual warfare that comes with running a business.

What If God Wants to Launch You, Too?

As authors, you’re focused on writing and publishing your books. But what if God’s plan goes beyond your book? What if He’s using your writing as a springboard to launch you into a new season—one you never saw coming but that He has been preparing all along?

Keep writing.

Keep moving forward.

Keep going, despite the circumstances.

What God has in store on the other side of your obedience is beyond what you could imagine. We’ve seen this firsthand with Jessica Baker this week. Her journey is a reminder that God’s plans are bigger than we can comprehend.
