A Modern Day Esther

 What is a Modern Day Esther?

  She is someone who stands up for what she believes despite changing societal and cultural norms. She is courageous and is not afraid of opposition for strength and honor is her shield. She is confident in who she is and is fully affirmed in her faith. She is a woman of purpose and destiny. She is a world changer.

  As a Modern Day Esther-it saddens me to see how America is moving away from its Judeo- Christian heritage. As a result we are witnessing the erosion of morals and values in our society and government. In an atmosphere of political correctness many are faced with the decision of following their beliefs or conforming to what has become a politcal strong arm. Those who speak out and stand up for Judeo-Christian values are slandered while others are viewed as champions of change. The word "Change" use to mean something, but now it is diluted even marginalized. Stripped away of its original purpose just as America has been stripped away of some its Judeo-Christian heritage. 

 My cry today is to be "Transformed" in to Gods image, because this is the kind of change Jesus desires. Only God can transform a life- only God can transform you and shift you from one position to another just as He transformed Esther from a peasant girl into a queen. A person of substance- having no hidden agenda-purity of heart and spirit. A person willing to stand for righteousness no matter the cost. When you examine the life of Esther you wonder how she could ever been chosen as queen given her situation. When God transforms a life others can only see what He sees. God give us the courage to be "Transformed" in all that we say and do.

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...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...

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 ...
