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
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.

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.
So many profess Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives but the way they live does not reflect that. If you allow worldly doors to remain open in your life you are also creating cracks in your spiritual foundation. The enemy roams the earth looking for just such cracks through which to enter and wreak havoc in your life and family.
Whatever you let in through your eye and ear gates will affect you and your quality of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. If of the world, it will greatly distort
How is your January going so far? This month is almost over. As the first month of the year, what takes place in January (the first fruits) sets the tone for the remaining eleven months.
Personally, I have had what would appear to be a very challenging month if only viewed with natural eyes. However, from a spiritual perspective, I can see God is clearing out people, places and things that cannot go forward with me.
For many He is correcting and establishing a solid course. He is bringing revival both personally

Many are praying that God will extend His period of grace in the United States of America in these times to allow those who do not know Him to come to salvation in Him. We are the last bastion of freedom and hope in the world today. Yet so-called Christians in this country parse doctrine and challenge each other to deep theological discussions while souls languish.
Way too many American churches have long become marinating cauldrons of gossip, back stabbing clicks. Sadly, this can include those in leadership as well. Because this ungodly behavior has been allowed to flourish, countless
Keep your mind focused on eternal things of lasting value. This life is but a vapor. Material things have no long term worth.
Following the “worldly crowd” to “fit in,” whether in or out of church, does not set you apart for Kingdom purpose. Set your priorities on things above.
Let Jesus be your pattern to live by in this season. Follow Him daily and stay ever close in relationship with Him to hear His direction “for such a time as this!’’ If Jesus Christ is truly Lord of your life you have been set apart. Live accordingly.
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.
