During the first of each year I like to seek the Lord for direction for the coming year. What follows is a word in season for all raised up ‘for such a time as this!’
Stay totally focused on Kingdom. Do not look to the left or to the right. Do not look at any situation in the natural with natural eyes. Arise! Rise above all that is worldly…eyes on Me and Me alone. Do not try to figure out what you may see with natural eyes right in front of you. I go before you. I am your rear
Here we are once again on the precipice of a new year! As 2017 draws to a close what do you envision for your 2018? This past year may have been quite wonderful for you. Perhaps it was most challenging.
It is easy to focus on the negative in life. So much negativity floods the news media daily. You are bombarded with continuous updates of frightening happenings around the world. This endless barrage of negative can cast a dark shadow on your life if you are not careful. Despite whatever took place look
For those of you who are not on certain Social Media sites, I publish “Short Takes” every day. Below are the takes for last week. Also are included links to short posts “From the Archives of Esther’s Warriors Ministry.” I pray they bless you and keep you striving toward a full Kingdom walk ‘for such a time as this!’
God Bless,

At a Christmas gathering someone asked me if I thought that the Pastor’s speaking ability was what would lead me to go to a given church. My response was that it matters not where you sit on Sunday but rather where you sit daily. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is what should lead you. Sitting at His feet daily and choosing to let Him lead you is the key. Then, wherever you may go on Sunday Christ is with you and in that place.
Of course a Spirit lead church leadership is critical, especially in these times. A solid
This final week of Advent is represented by love. The most unconditional, never failing, always present love of Jesus Christ for you blankets not only this week but each and every day of the year. His is such an all-encompassing love that you cannot even understand the height, depth or width of the Savior’s love for you. It goes beyond the ends of the earth. It is eternal.
Think about that for a minute. Let it sink deep into your heart. It does not matter what is going on around you at this

Can you sense the frenzy in the air as Christmas gets closer? Frantic shoppers, last minute attempts to do a week’s worth of things in a day, inattentive drivers…it seems as if an atmosphere of crazy has enveloped the city.
Sadly, in America especially, we seem to have lost the true meaning of Christmas. It is not about the latest electronic gadget. It is not about showering people with material things that they may not need or even want and will forget an hour after opening.
Step back, exhale, savor a cup of tea and regroup. Think about the real
A major disappointment is often a Divine appointment in disguise. If you only look at the natural situation you will only see a worldly view. Things happen for many reasons. Often, there is a lesson to be learned…an opportunity to grow and change in a positive direction.
If you live Kingdom you do not get entangled with earthy drama. You may even have to walk away from what would appear to be right according to worldly standards. To live Kingdom often requires the opposite action and outcome on your part. To live Kingdom is to bring the Kingdom of God
As Christmas draws closer, please take a moment to be sensitive to those who face challenges whether health, financial or relational. Christmas is a wonderful, joyful season but for many it is a difficult time of the year and the added stress can be overwhelming.
Step back a bit and be cognizant of the true needs of others. I spoke yesterday with a woman whose husband just went home to be with the Lord, a hardworking father of 4 who had no extra money for Christmas and a man whose son just passed as well. Some have lost loved ones
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.
