The Power of Intercession

Esther 8---Decree a thing and it shall be for all to see.  The KING (our GOD) has declared it!

Decree a Thing, oh KING

This right here made possible will bless generations to come.  Hallelujah!  Whole nations depend on this tangible decree of a reversed decision.  Our generations will walk in victory, when they have the KINGS decree signed, sealed and delivered to pass on from generation to generation.  Wouldn't you agree?  It is this decree that not only saved Israel as a nation but blessed them as well.  It will create a peace of mind and liberation from persecution, death, oppression and limitation!  God can do anything but fail.  Do you believe that?
Trust God to fight for you in your health, money, purpose, relationships, society, government, etc.

Think about it.  Our world system is ran on paperwork.  When the doctor admits or releases you, or a job or even a school, what do they give you?  That's right admittance or release papers.  You can't go free or leave a place or state of being until you receive papers showing your release.  Right?  Well, in the kingdom of God it is the same way. We see this in Hebrews 10:9 and also in Esther 8.  Satan, backs up when we speak, but the reason Satan fled from Jesus is because JESUS had written records, stating "IT IS WRITTEN (Matthew 4:1-11)."

Relentless Intercession

When Esther and her people were between a rock and a hard place, she petitioned God through prayer and fasting to turn a hard thing and because she believed God in resilence and courage and moved in obedience to Mordecai and her Jewish convictions to believe God, God turned a difficult sitation around that would have annihilated an entire nation of people (God's people), and the king sent out a written decree securing their lives, homes, families, money, and security.  When you are in the hot seat, just run to God and allow him to equip you to be a intercessor for your people.  WOW!!! I never thought about that, Esther was an intecessor. Hmm...

The Bible says, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need (Hebrews 4:16 KJV). And that is exactly what Esther did on behalf of herself and her people.  SHE WAS AN INTECESSOR.  She was one who knew how to weep between the altar and the porch.  I believe she was diligent and focused while praying, willing to cut off distractions.  The Bible says, she prayed and fasted for 3 days and 3 nights (Esther 4:16-17, 5:1).

In this hour God is raising up queens and women of power and authority who love God and God's people and will intercede on their behalf.  Esther was selfless proclaiming, "If I perish, I perish!" (Esther 4:16.)  Selfless and bold in the face of danger is the character of a true queen which she was and a woman of God.

Yes, she was a believer but she was a woman of governmental power and she wasn't impulsive.  She relied on God to give her direction and was willing to tarry and travail in the presence of God before approaching her husband, the king of Persia.  Esther was a fair and beautiful woman the Bible says in Esther 2:7, but I don't think that alone is what turned the heart of the king.  I believe it was because she put GOD first by praying and fasting and also Israel, her people.

She overcame her fear noted in Esther 4:10-11.  It's not that we, like Esther, don't confront fear, because we do, but there is a driving force called the Holy Spirit that gives us power throughout our lives to experience victory over our adversaries.  The Bible teaches us not to avenge ourselves, but rather walk in love and allow Him the space to repay (Romans 12:9-21). We are also encouraged not to devour one another.  If we do that, we are as the heathens.

No!  We are not barbaric.  We are royalty. We are priest.  We are intecessors.

One "Anointed Decision"

Esther wore the crown on her head to move in authority and power, but she wore the heart and cry of her people in her heart. And out of the abundance of her heart her mouth spoke forth intercession.  When we put other's well being before our own, God in turn will reward us on a job, in our relationships, finances, health, etc.  God will turn it, if you dare to believe and audaciously confront the powers of the enemy in the strength and the wisdom of God.  Trust God in everything you face and HE will turn it around for the good of all those impacted by one decision.  Trust the anointed decision of the KING.  Oh hail, to the KING!!!

Our nation, homes, schools, financial and educational institution's, the church and even we, individually are under attack, but GOD WILL, IS AND HAS TURNED our lives around all because of an anointed, godly decision to stand for truth, justice and a people that were important to her and God.

Isn't that Good News?  Yes, Good News indeed!
