It’s human nature that when we become familiar with something, we can
become bored with it over time. We become bored with prayer, we become
bored with going to church, but there’s a cry now in the nation – it may
not be audible – but God hears it. A cry from a distance because they
don’t have access to the throne of God the way you and I do as the bride
of Christ.
God is calling an Esther generation to rise up and plead for mercy on behalf of others.
Esther is the type of a Christian in this generation who says, “My
relationship with the king isn’t what it used to be. We’ve kind of
cooled off. As a matter of a fact, He hasn’t even been speaking to me
recently.” Esther knew that when we go towards the king it could cost us
our lives. Our prayer is, “Not my will, but thine,” realizing that if
we fully embrace the will of God, it could be an unpleasant experience
for us. But in that place of being abandoned to the will of God, for the
sake of others, Esther found favor and wisdom from heaven. In that
place, she found the power to re-write the law of death into the law of
life. That, I believe, is what the king had always been looking for.
You and I are called to more than Sunday religion, we’re called to
reign with Christ. If you and I are willing to pray, if we’re willing to
put our lives; our freedom, everything we are behind that prayer, God
once again, can put into our hands the power to re-write a season of
death into a season of life.
