Esther 4
What can be done in an impossible situation? It is not a time to run and hide, but a time to move forward! Mourn if you must, but keep trusting and keep going, even if it means you may perish.

Joshua 5: 13-15

The Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:10: Now I beseech you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

How, in these days of political unrest and social division can we find such agreement? The answer straight ahead!

Sometimes we have to circle a prayer need for a season before we see an outcome. 

Once upon a time I was praying for our church to have a Coffee Shop. I wrote this request on 3x5 card, stuck it in my Bible and whenever I saw the card I prayed for a coffee shop! That was like a wall that I walked around and around, circling and circling. I did this for a couple of years before one day running across the now tattered card and realizing I had not prayed for a coffee shop or even thought of it in many months! As I held the small card and considered the request, I could not conjur a single prayer for it! I felt then, that this prayer was answered! I didn’t know if the answer was Yes or No, but my lack of desire to pray seemed to clarify I had achieved access within the wall.  I could “see” the prayer was completed.

A few months later, through many wonderful maneuvers by the hand of God, my church was opening a coffee shop! I still marveled to see God work it out and bring it all to pass, just because it confirmed God really did put that desire on my heart, and then spoke to me when it was answered!

Today we are going to look at Mordecai’s prayer walk. He couldn’t see beyond the wall, but he never stopped believing as we continue the book of Esther in storming the Gates: For Such a Time as this!

What is Prophetic Prayer? 

It is awesome to know God is there. He cares, He hears, and He answers every. single. prayer. Prayers for a place to park,  healing for our  cold, finding our car keys. It is equally awesome when God answers those simple requests! We realize at that moment that God is real, and He really is with us! 

Then beyond car keys and colds is something I would call “prophetic prayer.” It is a specific way to pray. While it can merge with  other “types” of prayer, it is something different. When you come to God with a burdened heart there is a powerful way to pray that will enable you to “hit the target.”

Esther 2: 8-18

 The Queen is considered the most important piece in a chess game. Sure, the game is ultimately decided by who takes the King, but the King can only move 1 square at a time. The Queen can sail across the whole board in many directions ,enabling her to move stealthily and suddenly. Losing the queen, unless she is purposely sacrificed, is usually tantamount to losing the game. 

 In today's episode, we will see how God begins moving His queen into position “For such a time as this.”’

Stars don't shine in the daytime. They shine when all is dark. The star of the book of Esther rose in darkness and obscurity. We will see in this episode how the darkness is often God's chosen backdrop to be certain His stars are visible to the world.

I know all to well the pain of trying out for a role in local play productions and not getting it! My kids and I participated in many plays throughout the years. We're a dramatic group, for the most part. The process of trying out for a play is both exhilarating and heartbreaking. You perform for the director, then wait, with bated breath, for "call-backs." The list comes out at last and your eyes hungrily scan it! If your name is not on that list, the dramatics increase exponentially! “Oh no! I didn’t make it! Why not??”
 In Esther chapter 2 King Ahasuerus holds his own "try-outs," gathering all the beautiful young women away from the world they once knew and setting them apart for himself in a special palace.

2 Chronicles 16:9 “ For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of themwhose heart is perfect toward him.“

Ezekiel 9:4 “And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.“
