As A Time As This

I plead of you to seek out the Lord, get into His word a little more, a little longer. In remembrance of Esther chapter four, in being filled with the Holy Spirit, I see the Lord ever so clearly. He seeks to reach His children, now, as a time as this. 


The Lord tries to talk to us, to warn us, making Himself known, (and even mourns for us), but we have to seek Him out, ask for His message with the truest intentions in order to receive the message fully, and then act to respond. But responding with the wisdom and grace that comes only from the Lord. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. 


We only need to surrender and heed the calling of the Lord. (Esther, Hathak (a eunuch), and Mordecai: Esther 4:1-9) Just as the eunuch was a trusted person within the kings palace. He went to ask Mordecai what was the matter and was to  receive the message for Queen Esther and give the message to her faithfully, clearly, and fully. Mordecai mourned and wailed out for his people. He fasted and prayed. He stayed in sackcloth and ashes. Esther sought out the worries and concerns of Mordecai for she loved him and cared for him dearly. She trusted him. 


We alone are not saved just because we are in the presence of the King. For no one can part from the presence of our God. (Psalm 139) We must not find ourselves being overly zealous, thinking we are above another. For we too may be along the ones who will perish if we think that way. We must realize that only true freedom and liberation come from coming into the presence of the King, in our best, cleansed and holy, set free from the bondage of sin, through the forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ, can we truly be in the presence of God and free, free indeed. 


We must always humble ourselves, never letting the spirit of pride rid us from the fruits of the spirit that long so dearly to flourish through our bodies. Our Heavenly Father knows who His children are. He will call on them. It is God, and God alone, who makes Himself known to us. He WILL make Himself known. 


And He will see us, whether we choose to humble ourselves or be filled with unrighteous pride and fear. But also don’t think you hold any power up against our God and think that a meer human can deter His mighty and righteous plans. For He will redeem and He will set free. Either this generation or the next. 


He wants to use His children. God is waiting on His children to rise to the occasion for such a time as this! (Esther, Hathak, Mordecai, the King: Esther 4:11-17) Just as Esther was taken by fear and worry when she discussed with Mordecai on how she hasn’t been asked to appear unto the king in 30 days and she cried out to Mordecai that anyone who comes before the king, without being requested and does not have the gold sector extended to them, will die. BUT Mordecai told her, do NOT think that you alone will be saved, as you yourself will be held as just for being who you are. If she was to remain silent, relief and deliverance would arise in another place but her and her fathers family would perish. He reminded her that maybe she had come to the royal position at just the right time as this. It was then that Esther said, If I Perish, I perish. She realized then that she herself could neither hide from what was to come regardless. 


If the decree was declared, it would be done, and she, along with her fathers family in the land would perish. So she would either perish exposing the evil that was lurking, or she would perish by not taking down the evil. But either way she could perish and she chose to expose the evil. In doing so, she allowed God to move and make known His children and deliver His children through her willing vessel. She acted in obedience and faith. 


Thank you Father for your ever coming blessings, corrections, teachings, love, and guidance! I am so blessed to be loved by you! 🙏❤️ 


Dig deep in your word dear child and never fear, for through God the Father, there will always remain victory. Do not be deceived. Do not be double minded. Take hold of the truth for the serpent slithers around trying to devour. Pray for discernment. May the grace of God be upon you.
