Woman, Arise to Divine Proclamation and Mandate: Gleaning into Esther's Life

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Tuesday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK time)

There is a divine proclamation and mandate that has gone ahead of every woman. 

1. The woman and her offspring (children, disciples and family) are never to be friends or alliances with the devil. We are never to agree and forever be enemies with the devil and all he represents. 
2. The woman and her seed are to crush the head of the serpent. 

The labour of God over our lives through the Holy Spirit and human agents (disciplers) is so

that Christ is formed in us who Himself is against the enemy and will forever uphold God's

word of prophesy.  

God wants to help us see and step into our duty and call in a definite way. He will be

highlighting to us examples of witnesses who fulfilled the Genesis 3:15 mandate, trusting

that from this gleanings, we will be injected with a vision, focus, scope, revelation, guidance;

and be challenged to arise.

Using Esther as our study, we will see:

1. Who was standing against God's counsel, representing the head of the serpent.
2. How the head of the serpent was crushed.
3. What the effect was on lives, and/or nations at large. 

Esther Chapter One

The banquets of the king

Queen Vashti's refusal to come before the king

Basic criteria is set to qualify one to be a potential queen

1. Beautiful
2. Young
3. Virgin
4. Able to endure 12 months of purification.

Esther fulfilled and exceeded the basic conditions that qualified her to be chosen (vs. 5, 7).  

She was a Jew, young, lovely, beautiful and a virgin.

Beauty (earthly meaning):

The quality of being physically attractive.

The qualities in a person that gives pleasure to the senses or the mind. 

PRAYER:

1. Help me understand that even in qualifying to step into God's purpose, I must meet the standards set by heaven. John 3:5-7; Titus 2:11; Luke 14:25-35. 
2. Jesus, succeed over my life so that my focus will be the inner beauty not just the external beauty.  Help me get to work so that Christ’s character and beauty is projected and displayed for all to see. 
3. 1 Peter 3:1-6 (AMP):
   Internal beauty = inward adorning and beauty of the person of Jesus.
   a. Purity (in heart, in thoughts, in speech, in conduct)
   b. Modesty, simplicity
   c. Reverence (respect, defer to him, honour, esteem, appreciate, adore, praise, deeply love,
   and enjoy your husband).
   d. Gentle and peaceful spirit.
4. Grant me grace to exude the beauty of Christ by turning away from dead works, and offering fruits of repentance and righteousness. 
5. Help me as a woman seek to pursue pleasing the Lord, not myself.
6. Let me be energetic in my life of salvation, being fervent and sensitive before God. Phil.2:12-13 (AMP). 
7. Open my eyes to see and understand that every time I dwindle between God and mammon, heaven sees me as an adulterous woman. Help my heart be single and devoted to Jesus.
8. Grant me great grace to endure my months/years of purification (de-cluttering, quarry/wilderness experiences, discipleship).
9. May I come forth as one that greatly pleases the King.
