A Lenten Reflection

ESTHER’S WARRIORS MINISTRY 

This week we celebrate President’s Day in honor of all Presidents
in our Nation’s history.  Who do you admire most as President?  A February 18, 2012, Gallup poll indicated that Ronald Reagan ranked number one.  In his inaugural address on January 21, 1985, he said, “May He continue to hold us close as we fill the world with our sound…one people under God, dedicated to the dream of freedom that He placed in the human heart, called upon now to pass that dream on to a waiting and hopeful world.”  May He continue to hold us close … Read the rest

Blessings as we progress together through February.  I pray you are strengthening your trust in Him and what He has for you.  Tuesday is
Valentine’s Day which is a day so commercially set aside to promote feeling of love for those special in our lives.

Setting aside time to appreciate those we love is certainly important.  We are called to love another as we walk out our life on a daily basis.  Yes, it is nice to have a special day to celebrate our relationships, just don’t limit that celebration to February 14th!

Do You Trust Him Enough?

Posted on by

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

Aligning Your Heart Through Prayer

Posted on by

Blessings to you as we walk together through this first month of 2012 seeking God and His very best for us in the coming year.  Last week we looked at the low percentages of Christians who read their Bible.  I pray
that you felt moved to put time in the Word as a priority in your life.  In the season we are in in this country we must be washed in the Word.  Do not ever forget that in the armor of God the Word of God is the only offensive
weapon.  It is, “…the sword of the Spirit, which … Read the rest

Today is the Day!

Blessings as we walk through this first month in January, 2012!  The focus and attention we give to the Lord and the things of God in this month will affect how we experience the entire year before us.   We have the opportunity to set the pattern for the year for our spiritual life and relationship with the Lord.  It does not matter what may have gone before in years past…where we may have been remiss in serving Him or even
acknowledging Him in our life.  Psalm 118:24 begins with, “This is the day the Lord has made….”   Today is… Read the rest

Step Into Position in 2012!

Posted on by

Happy New Year!  I pray this finds you filled with anticipation of what the Lord has in store for you in 2012.  With 2011 now behind us, remember what Jesus said in Luke 9:59, 62, “Follow Me…No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”  He was discussing the true cost of discipleship, part of which requires us to follow Him forward and not look back to things that would hinder our Kingdom work on this earth for Him.  On this first day of the year it is good to … Read the rest

The Wisdom of a Child

I wish you a very Merry Christmas!  How exciting to be able to
send a message on the actual day commemorating the birth of our Saviour.  I pray that your day is blessed from sunup to sundown with family, friends, and peaceful sharing as you build tomorrow’s memories.

God sent a little Christmas angel this week and I want to share her gift with
you.  As I was seated at a local diner a large family was already eating a few tables from me.  At the head of the table in her high chair
sat the most angelic little girl … Read the rest

Recover Your Vision for the Savior is Coming!

Praying this finds you prepared for Christmas or at least well on the way.
Christmas preparations in the natural can be overwhelming as the time
counts down.  Food, cards, gifts, annual connections  can be head spinning if we lose our spiritual focus on the true meaning of this season.

Jesus came to the earth to set us free from the tyranny and devastation of sin and damnation, of being manipulated by worldly activity around us.   He tells us in John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal and to
kill, and to destroy.  I have come that they … Read the rest

Fill Your Lamp, Trim the Wick

Greetings on this second Sunday in Advent.  The word advent comes from the Latin word adventus which means coming.  During the Advent season we anticipate the coming of Jesus as commemorated in His birth.  However, there is a deeper meaning to Advent.  The Greek word parousia also signifies a coming of the Lord but it is connected to the second coming which we anticipate as Christians.  On Christmas we celebrate His first coming but Advent is also a time we anticipate His Second Coming.  It is a time of reflection and fasting filled with hope and the joy of expectation.… Read the rest
