Were you born for something special?

 

The book of Esther talks about being brave for a important time.

Do you know its the only book of the Bible that doesn't mention "GOD" but you know of HIS presence all through the book! 

You can read how young Esther has to go un-announced to the Kings chamber without being asked or beckoned by the King. Doing so, could be her death - you just didn't do this.

Yet, she had one chance to get to the King and make a plea for your oppressed Jewish people.

Nervous for her people.

Afraid for her very life.

She hears this important encouraging message that saved thousands that night and still saves lives today.

Maybe you were born for such a time like this?" Esther 4:14

 Here is my thought for today, in light of Queen Esther.

Perhaps this encouragement happens to all of us more often than we realize?

Angels among us so what is our response?

I have had a few angelic moments that I clued in on later, you don't really "get it" while its happening (at least that is how it worked for me).

I will talk about the times (2 types at least) I was visited by angels. In another blog at some point.

But I think too many times us believers get too hung up with them, and the books written about them.

Like we are supposed to talk with them or command them or in some cases folks (some folks almost want more of that then rather learn about JESUS and GRACE!

Scripture makes it clear that we have the HOLY SPIRIT who leads us into all truth. John 16:13

So what's wrong with that? What part of "all truth" do we not want??

Also scripture warns and I think this sort of sums up what you were saying in Colossians 2 18-19

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. 

Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their un-spiritual mind

Get it? "Worship of angels" - like (some) even churchianity folks do that today! They talk more angels than JESUS.

And when you die, GOD needed another angel - wow, you are already sons/daughters of the most HIGH!

Vs 19

They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

If we noticed JESUS (because of Love) always refers to and acknowledges to the FATHER and SPIRIT.

The FATHER always acknowledges the SON and the SPIRIT wont speak on HIS own but will take from mine (JESUS) and make in known to you.

SPIRIT is talking up JESUS.

They are never talking about themselves always talking about the other - that is what love does.

Not boasting in self but boasting on others.
