- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning. It is time to go to
- 0:02Speaker 1: God in prayer, and as always I ask that you
- 0:05Speaker 1: join along with me. You know, one of my favorite
- 0:08Speaker 1: stories in the Bible is that of Queen Esther. As
- 0:11Speaker 1: a matter of fact, some sister friends and I got
- 0:13Speaker 1: a chance to go to check it out at the
- 0:16Speaker 1: Sight and Sound Theater in Branson, Missouri. There's the verse
- 0:20Speaker 1: in Esther four fourteen where it says, for if you
- 0:23Speaker 1: keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise
- 0:26Speaker 1: for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father's
- 0:30Speaker 1: house will perish. And who knows but that you have
- 0:33Speaker 1: come to the Kingdom for such a time as this,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and for this very occasion. When you read about the
- 0:40Speaker 1: story of Esther, this girl, Lord, if I find favor
- 0:44Speaker 1: in your sight, please hear my humble cry. Esther was
- 0:47Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous, but she had a mentle and a call
- 0:51Speaker 1: on her life so much greater than what I'm sure
- 0:54Speaker 1: she realized, and that was to save her people. No doubt,
- 0:58Speaker 1: when she was approached about what needed to be done,
- 1:03Speaker 1: she was afraid. But instead of succumbing to fear and
- 1:08Speaker 1: giving in to fear, she chose to pray. She chose
- 1:11Speaker 1: to call a fast. She and her people fast at y'all.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And when I tell you, God did what seemed to
- 1:17Speaker 1: be impossible, win against all kinds of traditions in order
- 1:22Speaker 1: to answer this woman of God's prayer. And He'll do
- 1:25Speaker 1: the same for you. Something that seems insurmountable, something that
- 1:28Speaker 1: seems impossible, something that seems too much. When you have
- 1:32Speaker 1: confidence in God, when you choose to fast and pray,
- 1:35Speaker 1: when you choose to put that thing and lay that
- 1:37Speaker 1: thing before the Lord, he will do the impossible in
- 1:41Speaker 1: your situation. He'll be a lawyer in a courtroom, a
- 1:43Speaker 1: doctor in a sick room. He'll turn the king's heart
- 1:46Speaker 1: toward you, causing you to have faith. He'll come in
- 1:49Speaker 1: and work situations out in your family, on your job,
- 1:53Speaker 1: whatever area you need him to step in. So, Father, God,
- 1:57Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, just like you helped esther
- 2:01Speaker 1: save her people. God, we know with your help everything
- 2:05Speaker 1: is possible in our lives. So Father, we pray, Lord
- 2:09Speaker 1: God for you to do the impossible. God, we give
- 2:11Speaker 1: you permission to work out situations in our lives, whatever
- 2:15Speaker 1: situations we may be facing. God be our peace that
- 2:18Speaker 1: goes beyond our human understanding. God be our Jehovah Jirah,
- 2:21Speaker 1: make provision in every area of our lives. Works situations
- 2:25Speaker 1: out for our children that we have Before you. You
- 2:28Speaker 1: said the seat of the righteous shall be delivered. Be
- 2:30Speaker 1: who you already are. Here our humble cry as we
- 2:34Speaker 1: cry out to you today for this mantle that you
- 2:37Speaker 1: placed on our lives, for us to walk in purpose
- 2:39Speaker 1: and in destiny. Be who you are. God. We trust you,
- 2:43Speaker 1: we love you, and we thank you in advance for
- 2:45Speaker 1: what you're going to do. Thank you for answering our
- 2:48Speaker 1: cry and our prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen,
