JOSEPH BUSINESS QUARTERLY

Volume 5 - May 2022
If you want all that life has to offer, discover the keys to unlocking your destiny. Today, I am the CEO and founder of many companies, a sought-after and trusted advisor on financial and spiritual matters, and I counsel multi-billion-dollar companies.
This wasn't always my situation. As my wife, Nathalie, recently said, "some people think we have always lived this way," meaning a very blessed and financially comfortable lifestyle. "They are not aware of our humble beginnings." She was right. My journey to finding the keys to success started when I was broke.
Back then, we were regularly faced with two options: pay our tithes or pay our bills. Thankfully, we chose to pay our tithes, and we are still seeing the harvest from that decision today.
Angels on the Scene
For a bit of personal history, the town where my family and I grew up was in one of the poorest counties in the state. I had one of the best jobs in the area, working as a manager at the local Wal-Mart. By the leading of the Holy Spirit, and dreams of a better future, I quit my job and started my own business.
Unfortunately, things did not initially go as planned, and our financial situation became grim. One morning after Nathalie left the house to go to her part-time job, I got on my face and prayed these words that changed my life forever.
"Lord, I know you asked me to start this business. I know your desire for me is to succeed (3 John 2), but nothing seems to be working. I know the problem is not on your end. It must be on my end. Please show me what I am missing."
What happened next is almost unexplainable. I came up out of my body and could see into the spirit realm. I saw four angels with their arms crossed with the most bored look on their faces. The look told me they were asking God to reassign them, please, as they were bored. I realized God was beginning to show me where and how I was missing it.
Angels are assigned to us to influence people and situations to bring the inheritance that is already ours from God. My angels had been standing by, waiting for my orders.
Mystery of the Keys
Before you begin this journey of unlocking the power to your destiny, you must first understand the mystery of the keys. Jesus said in Matthew 16:19, "I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom and whatever you will bind on earth, will be bound in heaven; and whatever you will loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." When we fully receive the revelation and power of this verse, our lives will be changed. I know it changed mine.
A key gives you access and authority. For example, car keys give you access to drive a vehicle. God has given us the keys to His Kingdom, but we must use them. We are creators and royalty. The Kingdom of heaven is ours if we adopt God's way of thinking and speaking.
Words Make the Difference
Why were my angels bored? They had not been activated. God instructed me to speak twice a day Deuteronomy 28:1-14 over my life, family, and business. These verses describe the Blessing of the Lord and its impact upon our lives. The Blessing is God's power to prosper you in every area of your life. That is, to be the head and not the tail, the lender and not the borrower, above only and never beneath.
The Blessing promises that instead of chasing after blessings, blessings will chase after you. And that is what happened to me. Within ninety days, my business increased, and many of the companies I had chased to hire me were now working for me!
My journey with my family and business has been miraculous. And such a journey is available to anyone who dares to believe and follow God, and use the heavenly keys He has given us to unlock our destinies.
