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.
Faith is knowing without doubt that God can do what He says He can. Trust is required. The outcome is priceless!
For it is written:
“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”
Numbers 23:19
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all (emphasis added) your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
How is 2018 treating you so far? There are already tremendous shifts taking place in the atmosphere. Doors are opening suddenly as other doors close on issues and circumstances that no longer serve a purpose.
Let those doors close and do not look back. When God opens a new door, walk through it with grace and anticipation. Know that His very best for you awaits you. God knows exactly when and how to open new vistas for you. Let Him. Release your hold on things to Him. Let Him move you forward this year in His perfect will and perfect
The first month of the year sets the foundation for your year ahead. It is the first fruits of your year. Many fast during January to hear God for direction. Many dedicate the year to Him. Many resolve to create change through making long lists of New Year’s resolutions. Usually, in short order, all is forgotten and life returns to whatever it was last year.
Fasting, dedicating and resolving are good but it is really what is at the heart of all these things that is important. If doing these things by rote each year or because your church is

~Every one of us carries something challenging in our heart. ~Extend grace at every opportunity!
Here we are once again on the precipice of a new year! As 2017 draws to a close what do you envision for your 2018? This past year may have been quite wonderful for you. Perhaps it was most challenging.
It is easy to focus on the negative in life. So much negativity floods the news media daily. You are bombarded with continuous updates of frightening happenings around the world. This endless barrage of negative can cast a dark shadow on your life if you are not careful. Despite whatever took place look
At a Christmas gathering someone asked me if I thought that the Pastor’s speaking ability was what would lead me to go to a given church. My response was that it matters not where you sit on Sunday but rather where you sit daily. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is what should lead you. Sitting at His feet daily and choosing to let Him lead you is the key. Then, wherever you may go on Sunday Christ is with you and in that place.
Of course a Spirit lead church leadership is critical, especially in these times. A solid
This final week of Advent is represented by love. The most unconditional, never failing, always present love of Jesus Christ for you blankets not only this week but each and every day of the year. His is such an all-encompassing love that you cannot even understand the height, depth or width of the Savior’s love for you. It goes beyond the ends of the earth. It is eternal.
Think about that for a minute. Let it sink deep into your heart. It does not matter what is going on around you at this
