Dear Angel,

Chapter 1 of the Book of Esther is a show of man’s pride and wisdom.  Laws to the effect of the ways that seem right to a man.  Proverbs tells us that this way leads to death.  In a nutshell, King Ahasuerus calls forth his wife Vashti to show all in the court her beauty.  She refuses, thus loses her place as Queen because the men of this society felt threatened.  This is not the focus of my letter but leads us to the next part.  Chapter 2 takes us into a deeper, more intimate part of the story as King Ahasuerus is convinced by the King’s servants who ministered to him, that fair young virgins should be sought and brought to the palace into the house of women for purification. Thus, the maiden which pleaseth the king was to be queen instead of Vashti.  One of these maidens was Hadassah, that is Esther, the young cousin of Mordecai. 

Esther 2:1 – 7,  After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.  Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him.  Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king.  And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of women, unto the custody of Hege (Hegai) the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:  And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti.  And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.  Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimel, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;  Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.  And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Esther was brought unto the King’s house, under the custody of Hegai, the King’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women.  Esther found favour with Hegai, giving her all her needs for purification, seven maidens to wait on her, and the best place in the house of the women.  Verses 8 & 9  After twelve months of purification, with oils of myrrh and sweet smelling oils, the maiden was allowed one night with the King.  She was allowed to take all that she wanted before the King for the evening.  The next day, she returned to the second house of the women, which kept the concubines, under a different chamberlain, Shaashgaz.  She was only allowed to come to the King when her name was called, from that point forward.

Esther 2:8-9, 12-14, So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.  And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women…..Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)  Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.  In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.

It is Esther’s turn for a night with the King.  She takes with her only what Hegai advises her to take.  She obtains favour in the sight of all of them in the palace.  And the King loved Esther above all the women and he set the royal crown upon her head and made her his Queen.

Esther 2: 15-17, Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed.  And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.  So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.  And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

I stop the story at this point, not because it is not vastly interesting and important, but because my point to be made is only in Chapter 2 of Esther. My friend Cindy had a vision of Esther as Our Lord showed her that we, those chosen ones, are like Esther.  We have been chosen as the Bride to be, to be brought into the Kingdom of God, for purification and preparation to be able to be brought before our King!  Like Esther, we need help with this; thus, we have Hegai, the King’s chamberlain as a type of Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit prepares us, purifies us, readies us to come before Our King.  Esther’s job is to submit herself to Hegai’s direction and leading only; to stay in a place of trust and obedience.  She is unable to prepare herself as a young Jewish woman but under Hegai’s care, she will be ready for the King when it is time.  This is the very same for us as we are unable to prepare ourselves with good works, or our own ideas of purification or holiness.  We cannot even get ourselves chosen without our Lord’s leading.  We are to submit ourselves to The Holy Spirit’s leading and guidance and trust Him only to prepare us.  When I heard my friend tell of this, my heart received this knowledge from Him and I knew that it was truth.  As I took it to The Lord later, I saw another truth in this passage.  The seven maidens are perhaps the seven spirits of Our Lord.  The seven maidens hovered over Esther, dressing her, preparing her hair, her jewels, her fragrance as Esther stood, yielding herself to their care.  If this is the case, again, I see us standing in the truth of who we are in Jesus Christ, one with Him, His righteousness, His love and His purity.  The seven spirits of The Lord rest upon us; in wisdom and understanding, in counsel and might, in knowledge and finally, in the fear of the Lord.  We receive these gifts by faith, by standing in the knowledge of who we now are in Him, our Lord and Saviour.  And we move in faith and humility that His Spirit is with us always and these gifts are ours.

Isaiah 11:1&2, And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots;  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

Hebrews 4:9-11, There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

May you be continually blessed with the knowledge of His great love and provision for you, my dearest friend.  Be beautiful, be prepared, be confident in Him, our Mighty Lord and Saviour.

Love always in Him,

Your friend for life

💗Dear Angel,

Bless you dear friend with the knowledge of the great love that Jesus Christ has for you, a love that surpasses understanding, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.  Be rooted and grounded in His great love for YOU!

 

We share so many similarities including the tongue that speaks against us in judgement.  Let us condemn these lies as they are spoken to us and praise our Father in Heaven for His amazing love and view of us as His very own daughters!  That is worth praising Him for our being a part of His family!

 

Isaiah 54:17, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.  This is the heritage of The Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith The Lord.

 

As those tongues judged us so harshly yesterday, our beloved Holy Spirit placed into my heart Psalm 31.  The words of encouragement jumped out at me as I listened to you talking with my husband.  The following are those very words!

 

Psalm 31, IN THEE, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.  Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.  For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.  Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.  Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.  I have hated them that regard lying vanities; but I trust in the Lord.  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.  Have mercy upon me, O Lord,……..But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.  My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.  Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee:………Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!  Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.  Blessed be the Lord: for He hath shown me his marvelous kindness in a strong city………..O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful,…….Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

 

Dearest Angel, DO YOU SEE IT?!  The very thing we were talking about living in the Kingdom of His Dear Son!  David, being The Lord’s prophet of the day, speaks of SEEING his Lord’s marvelous kindness in a strong city.  (Verse 21)  David saw the Kingdom of God and was describing what he saw in this amazing Psalm!   David describes the Lord’s protection and mercy in the Kingdom of God as an house of defence (vs.2), a strong rock (vs.2 & 3), a fortress (vs.3), strength (vs.4), a large room (vs.i), hiding us in His secret presence (vs.20), keeping us in a secret pavillion (vs.20), and finally a strong city (vs.21)!  He even addresses the very thing again, that we were talking about.  I see a pavillion keeping us secretly from the strife of tongues.  Tongues shall continue to judge us but we are to condemn the lying vanities and trust what our Lord says about us.  He even calls the Lord, The Lord God of Truth (vs.5).  He calls us His Very Own and our place in His family as daughters never changes.  He is always pleased with us because He sees who He created us to be and He knows that besides being covered in the precious blood of Jesus, He shall accomplish what He has begun in us.

 

Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God is within us!  I see this as the secret place, the hiding place, the secret of His presence.  He will not withdraw His presence nor His kingdom as it is His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom!!!

 

Luke 17:2, Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!  for, behold the kingdom of God is within you.

Luke 12:32, Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

In closing, I would like to repeat a few things that have changed my life.  The Gospel is as simple as what we believe, we experience.  If we continue to believe that we are saved sinners, than the sin factor will keep us doubting as to why The Father loves us so.  But, if we can grasp and understand that His love for us is as a wonderful FATHER who sees His DAUGHTER having come forth from Him.  Nothing can stop the great love for His beloved daughter.  This is what Jesus Christ himself accomplished on the cross and then His resurrection.  He made peace with all mankind.  And because we have said “Yes” to Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, the Spirit of Jesus lives in us and claims us as His Very Own family.  Nothing that we have done nor can do will change this fact.  When we do occasionally sin, then to confess and repent is quick.  We need to keep this simple, not long and drawn out for self punishment and condemnation.  But, the truth about us is that we have been delivered from the power of darkness (sin and selfishness) and translated into the Kingdom of His Dear Son.  The truth about us is that we have been made like Jesus as He was the light of mankind.  The truth about who we were originally created to be.

 

Colossians 2:13, Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Matthew 6:9 & Luke 11:2, “Our Father which art in heaven…”

1 John 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

John 1: 9, That was the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Genesis 1:27, So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

Angel, let us both draw near to our Lord and Saviour with boldness, seeking to know Him more and more.  He accomplished so much in his great sacrifice. Let us follow in His footsteps, keeping our eyes on Him and believing that we are created to be like Him alone.  In doing so, we bring our loving Father glory and honour!  Amen!

 

In Christ Always,

 

Your Sister

Father in the name of Jesus, the Holy One of Israel.  Lord, we humble ourselves, Father we are your children.  We stand in authority today.  Lord, he is hidden among us, he is remaining unnamed, that we may have no power over him.  Lord, we ask that You join us this Saturday, that You join us right now, give us the Holy Spirit, that we can bind the tongue of Leviathan.  We bind the tongues of Legion, we cast out the strength of resistance, which is held in the spirit of vengeance, which is held in the spirit of anger.  We cast them out, in the Name of the Holy One of Jesus of Nazareth.  We will not fear these things, we will not be dismayed, You will strengthen us with the right hand of Your righteousness.  All that righteousness will increase, that which were increased against us.  They will be ashamed, even the unnamed, the spirits of darkness as nothing.  Even those that strive with us as vessels of iniquity, they will perish.  We will not find them, they will not contend with us as they that are against us they shall perish, we will not find them and they that are against us for You are God, and as You wrote, God will hold the right hand.  Not I will, but thee.  Father, You are with us, We stand humble, we stand in meekness Father, we’re asking forgiveness for anything, that may fight against the Spirit of Truth that is in us.  We too cast those things away from ourselves.  Many are coming, physically, Father we will stand in accordance with Your word, for all to see, for anyone to embrace as we will carry the Gospel and demonstration.

Father give us the Spirit of Truth, hold the tongue of the liar and the thief, he seeks whom he may devour, let him find no place here, we bind Beelzebub in the Name of Jesus.  As You wrote Lord, instrument having teeth through the mountains as the situations of anguish they have placed themselves in front of the children, Your children. Let Your word be true. Let those mountains be dissolved, let them be as chaff.  Release us from this bondage, from these unnamed spirits, we bind them in Your power and we give You all the glory.  We will stand and not faint, nor will we fear, for You are with us, Father we recognize your presence.  Bind all those things.  Let your truth be prevalent in our lives.  Take us over with the Holy Spirit, Lord.  We will be known by our fruit, and our fruit will be as You directed, as You anointed us to yield.  Father these  things we ask in the precious Name of Jesus Amen.

The time has come!
The lights dim low.
It’s here! It’s here!
The Luciferian show!
Pile in your bunkers,
you think it can’t touch you.
Soon you will be yelling
for the rocks to bury you!
So naively unaware that evil lurks within
the hearts and minds and souls of men,
who scorn the Lord, who curse at Him,
who wallow like swine in the mud of their sin.
When the Lord Jesus Christ comes again
they’ll chew on brimstone,
feast on flames,
and bow their knees to His glorious name!
For you shall do so either now or then.
You cant save yourself,
you must ask Him!
The only Son from Calvary,
who suffered and died to set us free,
descended to the depths of hell
and victoriously rang ‘ole Satan’s bell!
He arose again in skin and bone
before ascending to His glorious throne!
Oh ye who think you’re out of reach,
Death’s hard grip will rip you from sleep!
The Lord’s commands you refuse to keep,
ye wolves that stalk the holy sheep.
But when the Lion returns again
His kingdom come, victorious, and then
you’ll see the hill to Hades, to doom,
the crushing heat, the pain, the gloom!
Your father the Devil is waiting for you…
Listen! Hark! A trumpet sounds!
“Judgment! Judgment!”
Going down?
