Fulfilling God's Purpose

The decision to go before the king and plead on behalf of the Jewish people was a pivotal time in Esther’s life.  She understood that going before the king without being summoned would bring death, unless the king extended the golden scepter.

Mordecai, Esther’s uncle, admonished her by saying, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place; but you and your father’s house will perish.  Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).
Esther requested the Jewish people to pray and fast for three days, and she and her maidens did like wise.  After three days, Esther went before the king and God gave her favor.  The king extended the golden scepter that was in his hand and Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter (Esther 5:2).

Like Esther, many young women today are in challenging situations; whether it is an abusive relationship, prostitution, addictions, eating disorders, suicidal tendencies or poor judgment.  Gods grace is there to deliver you out of any situation.  Today, God is extending to you His scepter of hope, salvation and divine favor.

Gods scepter is His hand extended to you reach out and touch it.  Your life will never be the same again.  Don’t be deceived in your thinking that you can live this life on your own.  Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. A scepter is a rod that represents authority. Young women, it is time for you to accept your scepter.  God has a plan for your life.  You each have a purpose and a destiny to fulfill.  You are created in God’s image, but you are also unique. Esther was a Hebrew queen of Persia who used her scepter to save her people from destruction. How will you use yours?  

Your path, race, economic statuses, education and culture, may be different, but you should all share one goal: to be pleasing before the king of kings.  The choice is up to you.

Umbrella Lady

I have always admired this picture...the elegant lady with the umbrella...It reminds me of an expression my friend often says, " My Umbrella Has Holes ".  She was speaking of her life and some of the things she had experienced.  When I look at this picture I see my friend, an umbrella with out holes, happy, stately and strong. Do you ever feel like your umbrella has holes?  Life can sure make it feel that way at times.  Perhaps you are a single mother raising children on your own; or a college graduate having difficulty securing a job in your field. You may be a teenager feeling like you don't quite fit in. Maybe you are a victim of rape or incest and you feel so violated that you wonder if you will ever regain your life back. Perhaps you are sadden over a  loss of a job,or dealing with a sickness that have you asking, " Why Me ". These are certainly," My   umbrella has holes moments ". Although we may have our umbrella has holes moments/sea...

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...
