In Esther 9:11-19, Queen Esther asks King Ahasuerus for one more day to defeat the remaining enemies in Shushan—and there's a powerful lesson here for every Christian who's tired of fighting but hasn't finished their course. Sometimes when you think the battle's over, God whispers: "We're not quite done yet." Pastor Fortunato delivers a compelling exposition showing why God sometimes asks us to go one more round, how to know when the fight is truly finished, and what it means to stand up and fight before you can sit down and rest. This isn't about fighting forever—it's about finishing what God started. 📖 KEY TRUTHS FROM ESTHER 9:11-19: - Why "one more day" matters when you're close to victory - The difference between standing to fight vs. sitting in false peace - Biblical self-defense vs. Christian passivism (what Scripture really teaches) - How to ask God for what you need to complete your course - When it's finally time to celebrate and rest from your enemies 🎯 CORE MESSAGE: "If you and I want rest from our enemies, we don't sit down and hope. We stand up and fight." God isn't asking us to fight forever—He's asking us to fight until we've finished our course. Don't quit prematurely just because you're tired. When victory finally comes, celebrate it together with your church family. 💬 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS MESSAGE: "Sometimes when we think that the battle's over, God's going to whisper. He's going to send a little note to you and he's going to say, 'We're not quite done yet.'" This sermon addresses the false teaching of Christian passivism—the idea that believers should never engage in spiritual warfare or biblical self-defense.
