What Can You Do For Your Country?

Posted on by

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

As the political debates heat up we move closer to the election that will determine who will sit in the White House for the next four years.  Now more than ever we need to be praying without ceasing that the chosen candidate will be one who will emulate the ideals on which this country was established.  “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We shall not fight alone.  God presides over the destinies … Read the rest

Greetings on this International Youth Day!  Please take a moment to pray
for children around the world for salvation, safety, access to good water, nutrition, health care and education.  We sometimes lose sight of the overwhelming needs of youth who are challenged to just stay alive in untenable circumstances.  The youth are our future.  Let us pray a God-led path for each and every one of them in Jesus’s name.

It is easy to lose sight of God’s hand on our own life when the circumstances look askew.  Life takes turns that we certainly would not craft … Read the rest

How is Your Root System?

Blessings to you and yours.  We are moving through the last month of summer gatherings with family and friends.  Summer is a more light hearted time with much outdoor activity to enjoy.  It is a season with its own brand of pleasure, sights and tastes to delight everyone.  For many of us summer is a time to spend in nature.  Perhaps we garden to provide wholesome food for our family.  Perhaps we enjoy planting and nurturing a plethora of blooms and colors to enhance our little corner of the world.  Perhaps we just like to walk and … Read the rest

Be a Lush Garden

Praying this finds you well and enjoying your summer.  It has surely been a hot summer with record setting drought throughout our country.  A drought in the natural results when there is not enough rain.  Without sufficient water the ground dries and hardens.  This hardening prevents the continued growth of what was previously planted.  It also cancels the possibility of new growth.

Let Your Heart Flourish

Just as a drought can take place in nature, it can also happen within our own heart (and it is always a heart issue).  Think about it.  If we do not

A True Friend

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

This week we witnessed as a Nation the unfolding story in Aurora, Colorado of what has been deemed the largest massacre in American history.  The horror experienced by all in the theater is now rippling across our country.  Please hold all in prayer for healing as families and friends grieve loved ones.  Pray also for those who survived and for those who remain hospitalized with injury for strength and restoration.  Many stories are emerging of boyfriends who gave their lives covering their girlfriend’s body so that she might live. I am sure that we will hear more … Read the rest

Grow in Stillness

“Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.”  (Job 37:14)  In the busy summer months it is good for us to “stand still” at times.  It is only in the stillness that we make a space to reflect.  God’s presence is all around us but if we stay in a whirlwind of activity coupled with emotional drama and mental gymnastics we can easily miss it.  He created us to be free.  He created us to be free enough to readily consider His wondrous works throughout our day.  My prayer is that we will each “stand still” … Read the rest

Walk in Peace!

I pray this finds you well and prospering!  So many issues are surfacing and swirling around as we approach the Presidential election.   In Esther’s Warriors we commit to pray for our Nation.   In this season we pray for wisdom and discernment for all who will be casting their vote in November.  Freedom as we know it and our very history of democracy lie in the balance.  We are in a very precarious place tipping toward socialism more and more.  Our first responsibility is to pray.  Following that we must be well informed and study the issues.  Now … Read the rest

Happy July 4!

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY 

I wish a very happy and safe July 4 to all across our nation and to those serving in our military abroad.  May we take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day: national independence and freedom.  Our freedom has come at a great price.  Many have fought and died throughout our history.  Many continue to fight, many come home permanently wounded.  Many give their lives so we can be free. 

Our freedoms are being challenged in our country today.  One by one our choices are being taken away.  Let us purpose today to … Read the rest

The Root of American Freedom

Posted on by

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY

As we begin the month of July we will be celebrating the commemoration of our country’s adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.  Let us remember that our independence and freedom rested then and continues to rest on the Lord and those willing to sacrifice to keep us free.  Today our military personnel risk all so we can be home and celebrate July 4 with parades and barbecues.  Let us not forget the price that they and their families pay for each and every one of us.

The United States of
America Declaration of … Read the rest

Is Your Heart Free?

Blessings as we move into summer!  Please hold in prayer all in our nation challenged by weather disasters for safety and restoration.   So many are now facing unspeakable threats to their homes and well-being.  Pray for needed help and comfort as they walk through their day.

But God Was With Him

There are times in our walk that all seems impossible for change. What we see with our natural eyes and what we are told in the natural suggest ‘forever’ in a given situation.  In Acts 7:9-10 we read, “And the patriarchs
becoming envious sold Joseph into … Read the rest
