The Many Facets of Being a Good Steward

 ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

May you enjoy a blessed Earth Day today!   Earth Day started in 1970 to bring an awareness of the need to be good stewards of the planet.  The Lord has entrusted each of us with a portion of this earth to steward.   Take a little time today to think about how you could better oversee what He has given you.

When Christians speak of stewardship the conversation most often centers on money.  Certainly the Lord entrusts us with a financial portion of His determination and we are called to make sure that we handle our share with

Close The Door On The Past

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY 

Blessings to you and yours on this Sunday!  I pray that you are coming to a deeper level of trust in the Lord that will allow you to see His perfect plan for your life unfold.  When we truly trust Him we let go of any of our own preconceived ideas that we may have of what our life should look like.  Instead, we move forward with every confidence that He really is the author and finisher.  We are set free to move in that revelation!

It is one thing to be able to speak His promises … Read the rest

Let Unity Reign In Your Heart

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

Blessings as we begin Holy Week!  This is considered the holiest week for believers as it begins with Jesus’s triumphant arrival in Jerusalem; includes His most humbling act of servitude when He washes the disciple’s feet; the last supper with His followers on earth before His crucifixion; His suffering and death on the cross and His glorious resurrection from the dead.  It is a week like no other in history lived out by the Son of God to die for our sins and set us free if we choose to follow Him.  Wow!  Take a minute and … Read the rest

He’s Got It, Let It Go!

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY 

I pray this finds you well and prospering in God’s perfect will for your life.   Spring has arrived and this year we are seeing record high temperatures in much of the country.  Weather patterns are shifting with unusual tornado activity in areas not thought of as part of ‘tornado alley.’  Please keep all in our Nation who are battling natural disasters and loss of loved ones in prayer for restoration and safety.

What exactly does God’s perfect will in your life look like?  There really is a difference between living in His permissive will or living in … Read the rest

Is God In Your Social Network?

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

May God’s blessing be upon you today and every day!  We are swiftly moving through the month of March and on toward Resurrection Sunday.  As we progress through the season of Lent how is your relationship with the Lord?  Have you purposed to spend more time with Him, read the Bible more, set aside prayer time to commune with His Spirit?

In our fast paced world we can easily diminish our time with Him and after a while that consecrated time can become a thing of the past without our even realizing it.  I watch people and … Read the rest

Fill The Bowl!

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

 Blessings!  Did you remember to set your clocks ahead last night?   The term ‘spring forward’ always amused me as we actually lose an hour of sleep.  I don’t know about you but losing that hour can take the spring out of your step until your body adjusts!  The good news is that spring is well on the way and brings a season of new growth and renewed hope.  Life seems just a little bit better when flowers begin to bloom and the earth comes alive with the smells and sounds of nature.  God’s palate of color far … Read the rest

Let Him In Your Boat As He Is!

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

Blessings on this last Sunday in February!  Can you believe we are already entering the month of March?  Time moves forward seemingly more rapidly in some seasons than others.  We talked last week about taking 40 days to reflect, meditate, pray, fast if you feel led as we press toward Resurrection Sunday.  How are you doing?  I find when I commit to setting aside extra time for spiritual matters I am often challenged with unexpected issues and circumstances.  How about you?  The good news is we have an extra day this month as it is leap year. … Read the rest

Do You Trust Him Enough?

Trusting this finds you moving forward in 2012 with a commitment to set your life in order and rise above any past impediments, issues, mistakes.  The past is over so do not stay there in any capacity that would hinder you from living the present to the fullest.  Sometimes we are so enmeshed in past patterns of behavior and thinking that no longer serve us that we are unable to move forward in our life.  We can stay stuck if we are not careful to seek His wisdom and discernment about His plan for us, trust what that plan is … Read the rest

Open The Door To Your Heart

I pray this finds you encouraged with the potential of the year that lies ahead as we come to the end of this first month.  The concept of first fruits means that what we do in the beginning profoundly affects what follows.  As what we hold in our heart (and it is always a heart issue) will manifest in our life it is critical that we check our heart  often and clear whatever does not line up with God’s best for us.  We have purposed this first month of 2012 to put God first in prayer and in reading the Read the rest
