It's Okay To Be Yourself.

Esther 6-10; Matthew 5:44

We are walking in today:  It's Okay To Be Yourself.


​ The observance of Purim, the casting of lots is on the 14th day of Adar the day that the Jews were delivered out of the hand of Haman's evil plot.  On the 15th of Adar, Shushan Purim is the day of joy that in that city were delivered out of the hand of their enemies.  During this time it is common to give gifts of charity, have a feast of food and gifts to friends.  The land that was under king Ahasuerus from Iran, Iraq, Persia to the Indian ocean to Ethopia and all of Israel, he took over Babylon. Esther means hidden in Persian and Hadassah means myrtle branch. Haman is a Agagite the ancient enemny of the Jews that king Saul was to execute both the king and queen but the queen escapes.  Years later we have Haman and his plot to take out the Jews.  There are 10 recorded banquets in this book.  As well as a fast as the Jews of Shushan sought Adonai with prayer for three days.
We have to see through this book that there are plans made by us that ​
​are not to our actual benefit.  We can see throughout that we are to remember--Adonai is always in control.  There are things that are put in place for an enemy but can actually be their own undoing.  There are even things that we did not do, because of being disobedient that we have to walk in--this doesn't change our outcome when we remain in His faithfulness!  We are to intercede for those who are doing things against the Lord God's word.  Pray for those who spitefully use you.  Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.  Pray for those who walk in disobedience, drop to your knees and intercede for others and even yourself!  Trust in the all seeing, all knowing, Lord God Almighty!  That they would take the correction and no longer have a heart of stone.  We pray that you would open up their understanding of You, give them wisdom and knowledge of Your principles.  We pray that they would be found obedient to Your teaching and instruction.  Know that you serve the God of divine intervention, fiveamprayer!!  He is in control, He is the great I AM that I AM.  There is not even one thing that is too hard for Him!  Forgive us, forgive them for we know not what we do!  Open up our understanding that we no longer walk or teach the wicked things against Your teaching and instruction!!!  Praise Him and give Him glory, honor and praise!  Hallelujah!!!  To hear this again click here.​
