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
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.
“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,
Remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood? She had suffered with her infirmity for twelve long years. She suffered much at the hands of many doctors and spent all her money. The scripture tells us that she actually became worse in her affliction.
In this time in history she was considered unclean and not to be among the populace. Yet, when she heard about Jesus she determined to follow Him. She knew if she could just touch the very hem of His garment she would be healed. Her faith had been sharpened through much adversity. Her
Sometimes in life, things are so pressing that you lose your sense of humor about everything. Being able to laugh in the face of adversity is truly a gift. We all have moments that we lose our focus and joie de vivre. Just do not park there and take up permanent residence.
God is able to restore. God is able to heal. God is able to renew.
Be open to His lead and direction. In this microwave time we live in, it is easy to want everything in an instant. What we want and what we truly need are often
Never give up. New opportunities open up daily. Miracles happen every day. Stay focused. Stay positive.
Never let negativity overtake you. Stop it at the door of your heart. It is always a heart issue so be diligent to guard your heart every moment. Take every thought captive that would take you away from your Kingdom walk.
As a Kingdom ambassador, everywhere you step you should be bringing the Kingdom of God to earth as it is in heaven. Stay focused. This is the season. You are here “for such a time as this!” Do not miss it.
Do you live in uncertainty? Uncertainty can stop or at least slow your momentum toward breakthrough. Uncertainty can become a setback.
The level or depth of setback is directly correlated to the extent you let the uncertainty lead you. Do you simply question whether or not God can set your situation right? Or, do you go down the trail to despair? Do you fully give up, looking only at what you see around you? Or, do you simply park in your situation and complain about it and everyone around you? Think about it. This is where faith and trust come
Sometimes as you continue to journey with the Lord, He will reveal something to you about someone. First of all, test the spirit to make sure it is the Holy Spirit and not some divisive spirit just trying to stir things up. Never forget that the enemy roams around just looking for a way to trip you up and eliminate you from your Kingdom assignment!
Second, keep the information to yourself. Do not share it with anyone else to include the person about whom you may have had this revelation. Most often you are simply to pray for that person.
Praying this finds you well and prospering. Want to give you an update on where the Lord is taking Esther’s Warriors Ministry. Your commitment to prayer brings much fruit! Never think that the Lord does not hear each and every prayer.
We are in times of great trial but we are triumphant in Him! Faint not for this truly is our season. Esther’s is now connected to other ministries throughout the world. Many are ministries dedicated to caring for orphans in war torn, disease ridden countries.
I share with you today a picture of little Mathew who lives
