We join with you, Vladi777, in lifting up your travel and business endeavors to the Lord. It is wonderful that you acknowledge God as the giver of your business and you are correct that without Him we can accomplish nothing of eternal value. You see He tells us in the book of John: " I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. "Your faith and prayers are commendable but we need to share with you a few things.
First, a heartfelt thank you for praying in Jesus' name. It reminds us that Jesus said " Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." By praying in Jesus' name we access God the Father through the mediator Jesus Christ. True prayer is based on God's word, inspired by His spirit, offered in Jesus' name; and only for God's glory.
Second, elsewhere is scripture you see there is a big difference between the righteous and the wicked. God has an issue when our every day life isn't separate from the wicked and we do business with them. We are not to love the things of the world but to love God above those things. Otherwise you could find yourself not loving God, but loving material wealth instead: " Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him." Also, we are to set our mind on those things above and not what is in the world." Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth."
Third, we know part of the cosmetics industry supplies make up and other beauty supplies for women. Please understand, we are not pronouncing judgment on the entire industry or the women that use beauty products. However, we do want to caution you on the use of symbols of sensuality both in business dealings as in your personal branding and how it would be unseemly to focus on the outward adorning or physical appearance. God says in 1 Peter 3:3 " Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes."
Fourth, we understand you are salesperson that makes a living selling cosmetic products. However, cosmetic products many times contain unnatural, dangerous, and even deadly chemicals, toxins, allergens, irritants, synthetic preservatives, and other harmful ingredients such as fragrance, parabens, and dyes that lead to many negative health issues: endocrine disruption, thyroid and other hormone imbalances, infertility, allergic reactions, skin sensitivities, skin irritation with redness and rashes, skin sensitivity to light, as well as other troubling issues. Cosmetic products are also known to exacerbate, cause, keep alive, and flare up diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, and Lupus as well as many other issues and diseases. Is is the goal of a person of faith to provide injuries to people, make them sick, cause harm, spread a disease, make a disease worse, shorten a person's lifespan, or cause a premature death? The cost of beauty is great. Please know that what you do for a living to provide sustenance for yourself is your choice, but also know that as a person of faith we can't speak words of life over a business that causes death. We do see in Proverbs " Whoever earns wages by the sweat of their brow is acting wisely, regardless of the kind of work involved" and that is commendable. We are grateful for your explanation about the nature of your business endeavors that paint a true picture of your needs.
Our prayers and advice would be to continue in Christ in a fruitful way that is above reproach in all respects. With that said we need to ask you pray for your customers they would not find your products harmful to their skin, but also that you could do business with suppliers that follow safe, non-toxic, and non-harmful practices and ingredients. We are aware that is next to impossible to accomplish to fully eliminate all the harm.
Dear Lord, we lift up Vladi777 as they travel for business today. We pray for Your divine protection and guidance throughout the journey. We ask Heavenly Father, if it be in Your will, that You bless this trip. May You help him with his journey and his business transactions. We pray heartily for his spiritual success in Job 29:23 " when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street, the young men saw me and hid themselves—the aged rose up and stood. The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth. For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness: "
Heavenly Father, we pray for his business and ask that You grant him such abundant success, favor, and blessing throughout this trip. We pray this powerfully and in the name of Jesus for the bank to make a valuation mistake with the full bank transfer in his favor that the owner of the company would order more cosmetic products because he can do nothing but love and be emotionally attached to Vladi777. We ask boldly of You to exercise Your divine will bestowing unto this business venture a windfall of unexpected and immeasurable profits as a show of Your eternal grace. We remain faithful in the belief that we will see Your mighty hand at work in each aspect of the aforementioned request. " We rejoice in the grace of God. In Acts 20:35, "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" That being said, we ask that you ask God in prayer what to do with the money first. God's way is always to automatically give 10% of your profit back to the Lord in the work of the Lord called tithing and then give off budget offerings or more as the Lord leads. The Lord promises in Malachi 3:10 " of your livestock, and the first fruits of your ground grain, into the house of Jehovah your God; that my store-house may be full, and that I may shut up the heavens from over you, and that I may command the locust that it waste not the land, and that I may destroy the cutting-grasshopper from out of your ground, and rebuke the devourer for you. All the nations gave you joy: for you were a land of delights, says Jehovah of the heavenly force. " do this or you will be cursed: "Your words have been arrogant against Me," says Jehovah. "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against You?' You have said, 'It is vain to serve God;' and 'What profit is it that we have kept His charge,' and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of The Hosts? So now we call the proud happy; yes, they who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape. " Then those fearing Jehovah spoke together, each man to his neighbor, and Jehovah listened, and heard. And a scroll of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Jehovah, and for those esteeming His name. And they shall be Mine, says Jehovah of The Hosts, for the day that I will make up My treasure; and I will pity them as a man has pity on his son who serves him. Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God, and him who does not serve Him." This means you will not know the difference between the righteous and the wicked that you will need God to open up your eyes. It will take a toll on your body, life and feelings. God sent several punishments for disobedience to Him. "Behold, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy; and I will turn My face from you, and you shall be for a prey; and those who hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you." The punishment was foretold 300 years before it occurred. The same principle applies to disobedience of a church. If you do not obey God with these principles, you'll be trading the blessings of God for the curses of God.
"Then it shall be, if you will indeed listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe and do all these commandments which I command you today, Jehovah your God shall put you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you if you will obey the voice of Jehovah your God. And all these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you do not obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be on you as a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever. And because you do not serve Jehovah your God with joy and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your foes which Jehovah shall send against you, in the lack of all things." While God is only One that says in the last days nations will try to divide Israel but he laughs at them. He will know if you haven't given of your time, your gifts and your money to giving to God in the ways he has done for you.
Finally, we ask that Heavenly Father helps you to know Him, to cling to Him, to love Him, and to love others with a love based and bonded around Jesus Christ. As John tells us "" Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous."
As we are taught in this next passage will help you being loved by others in return and therefore find favor in them. As Jesus said "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Heavenly Father, it is only through the holy blood of Jesus Christ, the veil was torn, and the gap in our relationship with You was removed. May You open his heart up to see Him more and more each day. We speak life into his heart, to see the light and choose life. We pray Vladi777 can walk in the spirit and not walk after the flesh. It is only when he walk in the spirit and not walk after in flesh that he can please you. I ask all lthis in the name of Jesus Christ, savior, master, king, friend, and Lord. Amen.
