Something's Gotta Give!

Mordecai (Esther's Father/Cousin) has been spotted by Queen Esther's servants and maids in sackcloth and ashes. Seeing this they have gone back to inform the Queen that her father is in mourning.

We continue with Esther Chapt. 1 into chapter's 2-3, with Esther being crowned queen! Mordecai discovering a plot to kill King Ahasuerus, informing Esther and the King being pleased with Esther. The King also appoints Haman to a high position over the princes, and decrees it throughout the provinces. As all pay homage to Haman for being promoted to this position, Mordecai refuses to bow to Haman, which in turn angers him, and Haman sets out to destroy all of the Jews! Having the King send the decree of their deaths to all the provinces, noting the day & time it shall occur.

SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!

ESTHER 1

In Esther we find the King getting ready for a 180 celebration to honor him and all the men of Royalty, from 27 provinces (India - Ethiopia) have been invited. The Queen Vashti is also having a celebration in her own honor at the King's Palace for all the women of Royalty as well.

When the King calls on Vashti to show off her beauty to his people, Vashti refuses! Thus setting a course that will not just effect her but all the kingdom the King rules over.

The beginning of this story set's the tone to what will come next! How can you or how will you relate?

There is No Shame Your in The Truth!!!

John 4

In The Chapter we find Jesus speaking to a woman about thirst & truth. After He has just come from explaining the same to Nicodemus in John chapter 3. Now God is revealing in these stories of people, Himself to us, how He operates with us, how we can use His word and apply to our Lives!

Ruth Chapters: 2-3-4

Being Me In Every Season. . .

Whom have you been? Naomi, Orpah, or Ruth? When Have you been them? What did you learn about yourself? 

In this podcast we learn:

God can position you to be seen; heard; & find favor with those He choses, if you listen to the instruction and do as he ask!

Ruth 1

Being Me In Every Season. . .

Longing for what was, gives you no hope for the future! You have to make up your mind, not go back from where you came. You must say to yourself I'm pushing forward to what God has for me, no matter my present circumstances! I wont be afraid, because Christ meant for me to move ahead in Him, and not backwards.

Joshua 2

Rahab when presented with a chance to Chose life, she take it! Not only for herself but also, for her family. Rahab being known as a harlot and/or modern day prostitute, didn't allow that from choosing God over the flesh. It didn't stop her from leaving who she use to be in the past and choose a new life, In Christ Jesus!

Reference Scripture - Exodus 12:22-28; We find that God is showing us who He is and how he operates. He gives specific instructions on how to survive when death is all around us!

Joshua 2

Rahab chose life over death, when asked by the two spies, "What she wanted"? She asked  for her and her family to be spared. She had heard of what their God (Our Lord and Savior) had done for them, freeing them from Pharaoh, and destroying the Amorites. She knew their God was the "The God in Heaven above and on the earth (v.11).
