Philippians 4:6-7,

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

So praising Him for who He is no matter what the circumstances keeps us hidden away from the enemy during the trials and tribulations.

We will be looking at what the equipping and edification of the body looks like, and the end goal while we are still here on this earth is unity in the body.

We will see the gifts Jesus gives to the church in order to be functional and in order.

For us today, we can rest if the fact that we serve the same God Esther and Mordecai served, and we are His children, so while Satan and all of the evil schemes in the world that men have put into place, they too don’t have all the information, and God is always several steps ahead of them. Like Haman cannot prevail against our God. So let’s see how God ends this game with Haman as we pick up in chapter 7.

we will look at the call of God on each and every believer. The first thing Paul tells us is that we are to live our lives worthy of the calling we have received. So we have to ask ourselves, who are called and what is that call?

We will see his heart for the church as he explains what he calls the mystery of Christ.

This is what Jesus in us should look like.

1: To be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. (Eph.3:16)

2: That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. (Eph. 3:17)

3: That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height. (Eph. 3:18)

4: To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 319)

What do we see when we look in the mirror, or what do others see in us?

As we always see, God’s timing is perfect and as the gallows are being built, God is moving on the king.

We are going to see the reconciliation of all men through the blood of Jesus Christ. Both Jews and Gentiles are brought to God through faith, no longer through the works of the law.

Paul now gives this foundational truth and clear picture of who we were before Jesus and what He did for us.

In this study we will see how God begins to set a trap for Haman. Up to this point, he is riding high as he thinks his evil plot is working out just as he had planned, but soon everything he plans to do will be brought right back upon himself.
