We have been studying Esther at the bible study I attend for mothers on Thursday morning here in town. The study of Esther is a beautiful story of a girl who is a slave in this Kingdom due to her descent but because of Gods intervention and intricate plan she is moved to the palace and crowned the queen. This is a story that has always intrigued me but this time God opened up heaven to me and showed me the truth of what I believe is why he placed this story in the bible. Although God isn't mentioned here in this book you see nothing but his handprint and I would be bold enough to say his face print all over this book. His Glory shines all over this book.
In this book Haman this evil man has put out a edict to anniahlate all the Jews. The Jews are the lineage from which Jesus was prophesized to come from the savior and this was written in the book. bible
Haman becomes Satans puppet and wants to kill all the jews because of his hatred of Mordecai.
What God showed me is this we live in this world, but we are in the middle of Good vs. Evil. Satan is Evil and wants people to follow him to hell. God is good and wants for us all to go to heaven. In the end there will just be two places heaven and hell.
When we become a christian we make a commitment to Christ to become one with him, as a christian God has a kingdom out there for us. Just as Esther had to save the jews, the lineage of christ we are called as christians to continue that lineage with Christ. and just like haman ruled in Media-Persia. Well Satan rules in this world. And just like haman was after Esthers bloodline, Satan is after our blood line. this showed me why we are accepted through the blood and Christ had to die for our sins. When we accept him as our savior we become his blood line and therefore we have a kigdom to protect. Satan wants to destroy your kingdom God has with your name on it. This revealed something else to me. We have to come to a point where we see we have a kingdom to protect, and that we like esther can not save it alone. But although satan rules here on the Earth. Where satan rules God over rules. Just like Esther knew she had to approach the king (her husband) do you see the parrallel here!!!! in order to over rule hamans evil plan. When we arte christians Jesus is our bride groom and we are one with him. When we realize we have a kingdom and it is under attack, and we go to God because we know he's the only one who can over rule. We come to a point of humility the exact opposite of pride. I believe that satan probably hates humility as much as Jesus hates pride because he knows that humility brings honer and glory to God. God has called us to be humble and he will exalt us. When we like Esther get to that point of If I perish I perish. We like Esther must approach the king and he will over rule and save your kingdom because it his kingdom, and he has the power to over come all evil, seen and unseen, for his glory forever and ever. This truth is summed up in the end of the Lords prayer,that my daughter spoke to me while I was studying this two days ago. For thinme is the kingdom and the power and the Glory forever and ever Amen.
So if your going through a tough time right now God puts trials in our lives to show us our kingdom we have for him. Maybe it's a miscarriage,not being able to have a child ,maybe its a troubled marriage,a single mom, divorce, or an addiction problem. Whatever it is these trials make up the kingdom God has for you to touch. God is trying to do one of two things, He is trying to show you your kingdom he has for you with your name on it and He wants you to see it's under attack, or he wants you to humble yourself before him so that you can appropriate(take in gain) his power and the two of you can bring Glory to him.
So think about the kingdom God has for you Who out there can you touch? and continue the lineage of Christ.You are here!!!
