Walk forward. Do not look back. Be thankful for all you have come through and for all the good that is to come your way. If you see only the negative, you surely miss all the positive around you.
Life is a challenge to be sure but it is also a divine gift. Each breath you take is precious. Each breath you take is God given. Each breath you take is one more chance to make the world a better place.
You are here “for such a time as this!” You are no accident. Whatever has gone before in your
Change your focus. Change your direction. Change your life. Change cannot come through staying the same. There are seasons in life. Know your season. Know when the season beckons change.
For it is written:
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time
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.
No matter how things look right now, do not give up hope. Any situation can change in an instant. That instant may be a shift or a complete “suddenly” turn-around.
If change begins as a shift, do not despise the small beginning. A shift starts the momentum. Look forward with faith and hope to keep that momentum going!
Through every change, look for the lesson. Learn as you go through life. Grow forward. Never stay stuck in former destructive patterns. Allow the Lord to make all things new for you in His perfect timing and in His perfect will.
Have you noticed how as situations escalate globally, people seem to be escalating as well in their personal lives? Basic respect and social graces seem to be on the wane.
Do not be a part of the down-ward spiral. Walk circumspectly. Discern the time. Let the fruit of the Spirit show forth in your life!
For it is written:
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Jesus
Matthew 5:16
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
Never worry about what people think about you or how you are choosing to live your life. You have no control over another’s thinking anyway. Just live well. Live with integrity. Make wise choices. Serve others with a thankful heart, for it is always a heart issue. Leave petty worldly skirmishes behind.
You are here for such a time as this so choose your battles very carefully.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Jesus
John 14:27
When I read this scripture this morning I could not help but wonder why most Christians are not at peace. I certainly include myself in this at times. Jesus leaves us His peace and gives it to us, yet do we freely receive that peace? His is a deep peace unlike anything the world has to offer. Yet, do we look to
As we go into fall, before the holidays, take this time to walk through your house and donate those things you do not really love or no longer use. Physical clutter actually clutters your spirit. To free up your surroundings will free up your mental clutter and give you more clarity. You will be more focused.
While clearing out, check your heart clutter (for it is always a heart issue). Clear out those things and response patterns that no longer serve you: bitterness, anger, resentment, offense and the like. Keep only those heart patterns that bring you closer to God,
