One Night With The King

Today, I watched "One Night With The King" for the umpteenth time with Tyrell. (if you haven't seen the movie, read the book of Esther first, then watch it!!!) It's the extraordinary story of how God placed Esther as King Xerxes' queen to shift the atmosphere and deliver His people. God placed her in a position in which she had a direct influence on the king and on the people of Susa.

I know that God has placed me in two specific places to be an atmosphere changer; not because of who I am, but because God wants to pour out His Spirit on those "dry bones". In those times, if you were to approach the king un-summoned or uninvited, you were put to death right then and there; however God placed Esther in position as queen to change the atmosphere. Though her physical being was afraid, she BELIEVED in the Most High God to deliver her people; though she was fearful, she still was faithful to His word. Though you may be misunderstood and afraid of what people may say/think/do to you, know it's because you're set apart to shift the atmosphere! God is bigger than our fears.

Remember the story of Jeremiah? Jeremiah was called and set apart to be a prophet to the nations; to pluck up and break down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant. Jeremiah's excuse was he was too young; God wasn't having it! Whatever excuses you think are acceptable to not do God's will not suffice. Just as God spoke to Jeremiah in chapter 1:11-12, He is waiting for His word to perform through you!!

In Him,
