ESTHER: WOMAN OF FAITH !

ESTHER

I can imagine a land where the King has a feast, but I cannot imagine that

He’d marry the least.

Yet this is what happened to the beautiful Esther, raised by Mordeci,

Because she honored the God Most High.

You see, the story starts out with the beautiful Vasti who GAVE AWAY her throne,

When the king sent for her to show her off; she replied: LEAVE ME ALONE!

So the king was so mad, that he saw red in a blur and before he knew he’d said: I’ll fix her!

So they wrote a new law and called it a decree…the next thing we all knew:

THEY HAD BANNED VASTI!

So here’s the king scouting out all of the virgins in town, they were pouring in from miles around…

In the meantime, Mordeci, was spiritually led to get Esther into the mold, he had a

Few friends but he wasn’t to bold,

Mordeci told Esther to keep a secret of who she was in her faith,

None was to know she was Jewish; that part could wait,

One day on the job, it came to Mordeci’s own attention that the king was to be killed and he put an end to the plan,

It went down in the record books, the matter at hand, but no one told the king.

One fine day the king made his rounds to see what he’d see,

And there beheld Esther, fine and lovely.

After that he was smitten and he was so led to place the Queen’s crown on top of her head!

Now Haman was an advisor unto the king full of his own vanity,

All bowed to him except Mordeci and that gave him insanity,

This evil came upon him and he got the blues, he then

Decided to place his hatred for Mordeci on ALL of the Jews,

So he got the King’s ear and drew him into the plot to kill the

Jews on the sly, but really he just hated Esther’s uncle Mordeci,

There went out a notice throughout the land; it seemed no one was to care; the Jews were to be killed on the 13th of Adair.

Angels were moving around behind the scene,

And Haman was getting more and more mean,

The King laid down to sleep and all of a sudden from out of the Blue; he realized that Mordeci had saved him from assassination and that this was so true,

If I were Mordeci, I’d panic too; he knew that Esther the queen would know what to do.

He sent Word to her of the edict passed down; for she was the queen she could turn it around,

Esther was between a rock and a hard hard place. For she recalled what had happened to Vashti’s face.

All kinds of emotions began to rush forth in her soul, she’d lost her parents and Mordeci had raised her with love, no one knew she was Jewish, the King had certain protocols which if she violated, she could be killed, he loved her she thought but even he had limitations, not knowing what to do it could have taken it’s toll!

But, she said: Tell the people to FAST FOR ME three days. Mordeci obeyed and went on his way.

The Bible does not say Esther was spiritually grounded but you have to know that indeed is a fact…so God gave her Favor and she moved on

Esther went before the King with a certain countenance and The Spirit too,

When the King heard her dilemma, he assured her he knew what to do, Haman was hanged from the Gallows and the decree was rescinded...

The Death Proclamation over all of the Jews was ended,

So Imagine Esther raised as an orphan, who becomes a queen,

with a husband who loves her who’s king of the land …in a story of intrigue that was not a dream, and a God who delivers her from all of her cares lifting her up in her time of great despair! ESTHER WAS BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING!

FAITH FOR HEALING FAMILY MATTERS, RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNICATIONS

Healing: Family matters, relationships & communications…

My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. (Message Bible)
Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. KJV


Blessings to you!

It is my prayer that this letter finds you well. Just know that is what God wants for you; for you to be well. I am certain of it. I really am. I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that I’m thinking of you and praying for you

I think one of the most important things to each of us is our family relationships. God’s family is important to Him and your family is important to Him as well. He says so in His Word.

For many of us, it is our ground where we will be tested. Tested in terms of our love for others which is one of the two commandments that Jesus left in the New Testament.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Webster’s 1828 dictionary describes neighbor as:

One of the human race; any one that needs our help, or to whom we have an opportunity of doing good.

Certainly we have a greater opportunity to include our family in this definition.

But, family matters, communications and relationships are very important and it is an area where if we aren’t careful, we could slip. I guess it’s because we are sort of forced by circumstances to communicate and exchange with a variety of different personalities with different agendas. Sometimes the fact that people have different sets of values, ideas, likes, dislikes beliefs, motives, pressures, goals and outcomes cause us to judge them. We find ourselves saying: “Why did he/she do that? Or why did he/she say this?” (Etc.) In families, words and feelings travel fast and it’s a ripe place for misunderstandings and hostility as well as hurt feelings if we aren’t careful.

My brother had really made me mad one day and as I was trying to think what I would do next; I realized that I would have to repent for being mad and THEN forgive him sincerely. THEN I had to make a genuine decision to love him just as much as I did before he made me mad, THEN I had to mean it with all my heart. God gifted me with him as a brother and that means so much to me.


You may be wondering how you are going to fix things in your life in your family, but DO NOT WORRY. Have Faith! God will help you. Maybe you’re not at fault, but that is even better if YOU CAN fix things. Now some matters may not be so easy to clean up, but we’ve got to do it and the bible says that His grace is sufficient for you to do it. So I’m just writing to ask you to think about this and if there is any family matter, relationship or maybe even the way that you communicate or consider your family that needs a tune-up, correction or reconstruction that you attend to it.


God says in His word that He is there for you, and HE says because you believe and constantly seek Him, you will have a reward! Now think: If the government said there is a reward for something, you know that if you met the criteria; you would get the reward! It’s pretty much a fact!

Well God is BIGGER than the government and He says:

Have faith
That will please God
Be persistent and diligent in seeking Him
He WILL reward you


I pray for you that the healing power of God manifests in every area of your life; particularly within and around your family matters, communications and relationships this day and each day thereafter. I pray that your family moves closer to God as a whole unit, whether it be one by one or all at once. I pray that immediately solutions of peace present themselves and that everyone in your family will begin to act on those solutions. I pray that anything contrary to peace in your family is immediately rooted out and bound in the authority of Jesus! It’s certain.

WISDOM

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

KJV Proverbs 4: 7

Blessings to you today my friend!

You are special and it shows! God is Faithful and He loves you so much! Oh what a glorious year it has been. I’ve seen trials, tribulations and tests…but they were just temporary; because behind them all there was great victory. The world can’t celebrate a victory beforehand, but we can…so don’t forget! Sometimes the main thing that we need in our situations is wisdom! All you have to do is ask for it! The bible says so. Such a simple thing; yet some forget...

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. JAMES 1: 5

This week I decided to ask for some wisdom in two matters that were putting unnecessary pressures on myself and my family. In each case; I was led to make some telephone calls at a very precise and unusual time. My words that I spoke determined the entire outcome. They came out of my mouth; but I was shocked as I said them. As the wisdom poured forth, the favor followed!

In both matters I was successful because GOD deemed it to be that way! One call resulted in a future benefit to my family that will be worth several thousand dollars which we never imagined would happen. The other outcome was more of a faith strengthening exercise; actually they both were. It wasn’t about money. It was much more significant. It was about a promise that God had made to me; that “seemed” impossible even at the time of the telephone calls. “The just shall live by faith.” Wisdom prompted me to make the call, faith allowed me to follow through, knowing the Word of God allowed me to be obedient, diligence in meditation brought forth the revelation and favor was the benefit. God wants to turn your test into a triumph; but He needs you to meditate, ask for, confess wisdom and BELIEVE. On the other side; I have written a prayer for you.

A PRAYER FOR WISDOM

Dear Heavenly Father, I come into Your presence to speak to You today in the Name of Jesus and by his blood. Father I hold you in the highest regard and love You with all of my heart, all of my mind and all of my soul! I find myself in Your awesome presence today to seek wisdom in the circumstances that challenge me today. I am also seeking wisdom to help other people in the way that You need me to do it. I declare and decree that I will depart from evil and do good, that I will walk with wise men; thereby I will be wise; also I want to say that I stand ready for instruction, for I am just and therefore teachable and able to increase in learning.

I thank you Father that I am able to hear You because I watch daily at Your gates and wait at the posts of Your door, knowing that I will not only find life but favor. I do not despise Your chastening and I do not grow weary of Your correction because I know that whom You love; You correct just like a Father corrects a son (or daughter) whom he loves. I thank You that because my ear can hear reproof that I can abide among the wise. I thank You Father that wisdom assures my promotion which doesn’t come from the East or West or the North or the South; but it comes from You LORD. I thank You Father that I am able to recognize the JOY that I have in You. I delight myself greatly in Your commandments and I am Blessed because I have total reverence for you. I thank you that Godly wisdom guarantees that even my enemies cannot overcome me. I thank you Father that Your statutes and judgments in the Word of God give me wisdom.

I thank you Father that I will continue to hear and hear the Word of God knowing faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I thank you Father for the desires that You have placed in my heart. I thank You for Your patience with me as I seek to gain wisdom in the things that You have promised me. I thank You Father for Your patience with me as I realize that I cannot do things my way; but that I CAN do things Your way with perfect results. I thank You Father that I will remain focused and fixed on my calling. I thank You Father that I have good and perfect habits and that those habits allow me to fulfill my destiny.

I thank You Father that I will remember everyday that if the fruit of desire is pursuit; that I will always be in pursuit; never moving farther away from what I am called to do by procrastinating.

I thank You Father that I’m all out of excuses. I thank You Father that I have the wisdom to move past excuses and win every battle on the home turf of my mind or wherever it may be! I thank you Father that everyday I go out and train for battle and that I gain and grow in wisdom. I purpose in my heart to seek You for guidance in all that I do! Father, I believe You and I know that I CANNOT FAIL! AMEN


DO YOU BELIEVE GOD?

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Hebrews 11: 6

By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. Hebrews 11: 8

Dearest Friend, Blessings to you and yours. It is with great joy that I write to you today because I have been on quite a journey and I am relieved to have my feet settled and be in my right place, even though my journey continues. I am writing to you today to encourage you and to tell you to hold your chin up and to stand tall and be proud. Whatever you may be facing; you are not in it alone. I am praying for you. Prayer warriors are praying for you; but that’s not all. You see, behind the scenes, angels are moving and God the Father is arranging things so that you may have perfect peace. You just have to stay focused on God and speak the truth; the truth of Gods’ Word. I want to talk to you about your faith and my faith.

Do you believe God? Do you believe His Word? Either you do or you don’t. Everyday your faith will be tested! EVERYDAY.

*One morning after leaving prayer, I was walking next to a fellow prayer warrior. I said with my mouth: “I hate these dizzy spells that I have! I can hardly see or walk!” My friend looked at me and shook her head. She seemed perturbed! She said: “I don’t believe it!” She went on to say something like we just left prayer and you thanked God for hearing your prayers and ANSWERING them and now you’re out here confessing sickness! She looked at me as if to say: “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON THAT WAS IN THERE PRAISING GOD?”

I didn’t understand her lack of sympathy and pity at the time. I certainly didn’t like her response. I even prayed about it. Months passed and I realized this was good medicine that she gave to me. Sometimes believers go to other believers for advice and instead of a long dissertation of sympathy, they just need to hear three words: “ DO YOU BELIEVE GOD?”

On the next page, I’ve written a prayer/confession for you.

I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE GOD!

Heavenly Father, I have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 10:19) I will not cast away my confidence in you regarding this situation that I face or am enduring because I KNOW that it hath great recompense of reward). (Hebrew 10: 35) I am the just and I live by faith. (Hebrews 10: 38)

I will fight the good fight of faith. Thereby I will lay hold on the eternal life that I have been called to and I will continue to profess a good profession before many witnesses. (1Timothy 6: 12) I thank you Father that Your hand is upon and on this situation that I face. I thank You that You are God and that You are able to make all grace abound toward me that I ALWAYS have all sufficiency in ALL things and that I may abound

(be plentiful, thrive and flourish) to every good work! (2 Corinthians 8: 8)

Thank you Father for being the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1: 3)

I thank you that You comfort me in all of my tribulation. (2 Corinthians 1: 4) My faith is in Your power. (1 Corinthians 2: 5) I have the God kind of faith. (Mark 11: 22) If a problem is in front of me or hindering me; it is a MOUNTAIN! Therefore, I “say” unto the mountain in front of me: BE THOU REMOVED _______________ (speak whatever it is) AND BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA! (Mark 11: 23) Because I believe and have NO DOUBT in my heart; I will have what I say. God’s Word says so and I BELIEVE GOD! In Jesus Name, AMEN
