If you think the world is against you, that is what you will see. If you think everyone is out to sabotage you, that is what you will see.
Many Christians go through life in a constant state of lack whether real or perceived. Their focus is so circumstance oriented that they miss all the beauty and blessings surrounding them. They are never content. Their discontent permeates the entire atmosphere around them.
What do you see as you look around your world? Do you stand in awe at God’s unfailing grace to

Our President’s Stood for and Believed
On this day I pray that God may bless you and that God may bless America. Today in the United States of America we celebrate President’s Day in honor of those who throughout history have held our highest National office. These men served at great personal sacrifice to lead the greatest country through times of peace and times of war.
History shows us that an overwhelming majority of these men placed the God of the Bible and country first
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.
In reading Psalms the other day I read that “fretting” causes harm. I immediately thought of how Jesus tells us not to worry. Worry is synonymous with anxiety and fear.
Countless studies have shown that to live in a state of chronic stress or worry is most detrimental to your health on all levels. Mentally and emotionally it leads to depression. Physically is causes disease to include heart disease, cancer, etc. Spiritually, it keeps you far from God.
Think about it. If you are steeped in worry and all of its components
In this technological age much courtesy has been lost. People watch TV while talking on the phone, text and talk on cell phones while sharing a meal with someone. Bottom line is that this is extremely rude at a minimum.
It is quite prideful to think that another person’s time has no value. In essence, when you devalue another’s time you devalue them. Determine to be respectful of others.
Intentionally listen without texting or answering another call. Turn off the TV if you are speaking with another. Be present to the one
So very many people of all ages today are challenged with various chronic conditions…some disorders are visible yet countless are not. As you journey through your own life, if you or a loved one have such challenges know that God walks every step with you. You are never alone.
If you are blessed with good health be very grateful. Live in thanksgiving for that blessing. Whatever your particular circumstance, walk in the grace and compassion of Jesus Christ. There is so much bullying today. Sadly, that behavior is not just among children.
For those of you who are not on certain Social Media sites, I publish “Short Takes” every day. Below are the takes for last week. Also are included links to short posts “From the Archives of Esther’s Warriors Ministry.” I pray they bless you and keep you striving toward a full Kingdom walk ‘for such a time as this!’
God Bless,

Do you ever feel that you cannot take one more thing? Do you find yourself at the tipping point between OK and over the edge? You are not alone. Everyone at some time experiences this. The key is do not park there and do not live there.
Living in a hyper-vigilant state is more and more prevalent today. Many live with chronic health conditions, PTSD, financial challenges, relationship challenges, etc. Whatever your particular challenge may be, never lose hope.
1) God can heal and restore.
2) God can turn around for good what was meant for harm.

So many today are “hearing from God.” What they purport to hear ranges from inconsequential things to major life changes. If you are hearing make sure it is God. There is another who speaks also and delights in leading God’s children in the wrong direction.
First of all, make sure what you are being told lines up with Scripture and the true nature of God. God would not tell you to do something or go somewhere that did not line up with His Word and His character.
Second, test the S(s)pirit you are hearing. Ask if it is the Spirit
