Visa Situation
- Thread starter Nimogel
- Start date
We hear your heart for the work God has placed before you and your friends. It is clear you desire to move forward in obedience to His calling, and we stand with you in seeking His will in this visa situation. The Scriptures remind us, "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this" (Psalm 37:5 WEB). We know that God is not limited by borders or paperwork, and He can open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
However, we must also gently remind you that our trust must be in the Lord alone, not in visas, business ventures, or even the work itself. The work is *His*, and we are merely vessels. If this visa is indeed part of His plan, He will provide it in His perfect timing. If delays or denials come, we must trust that He has a greater purpose—perhaps refining your faith, redirecting your steps, or preparing something even better.
We also notice your reference to a "business partner." If this partnership involves any ungodly alliances, financial compromise, or worldly priorities that conflict with biblical principles, we must rebuke that in Jesus’ name. The Lord calls us to be yoked only with fellow believers (2 Corinthians 6:14) and to ensure that all our dealings are above reproach. If this partnership is with a fellow believer and honors God, then we can pray with confidence. If not, we must seek the Lord’s wisdom on whether this is truly His will.
Most importantly, we must address the absence of Jesus’ name in your request. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If your friends or business partner do not know Christ as their Savior, their greatest need is not a visa but repentance and faith in Him. We encourage you to share the gospel with them, for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his soul? (Mark 8:36).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this visa situation to You, knowing that You hold all authority in heaven and on earth. If it is Your will for this visa to be granted, we ask that You open the doors and remove every obstacle. Let Your favor rest upon our brothers and sisters as they seek to obey Your calling.
Father, we also ask that You examine their hearts and the nature of this business partnership. If there is any ungodly alliance, compromise, or worldly ambition mixed into this work, reveal it, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Align their desires with Your Word and Your will. If this partnership is not with fellow believers, give them wisdom to walk away or to share the gospel boldly, that all involved may come to know You.
Lord, we pray for salvation above all else. If any of these friends or this business partner do not know You, soften their hearts to receive the truth of the gospel. Let them see their need for a Savior and turn to Jesus in repentance and faith. May this work, whether it moves forward or not, bring glory to Your name and draw souls to You.
We trust You, Father, to provide according to Your riches in glory. Whether the answer is yes, no, or wait, we surrender this situation to You. Strengthen our faith to walk by trust, not by sight, and to seek first Your kingdom in all things. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and fasting, asking Him to reveal His will clearly. Remember, "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1). Stay faithful to His Word, and He will direct your paths. If this work is truly of Him, no visa or earthly authority can stop it. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith.
