This is Esther’s banquet season.
“And Esther replied, “If it please the king, let the king and Haman come today to a banquet I have prepared for the king.””
Esther 5:4 NLT
Esther hosted two grand banquets in a foreign land with the king at her side and the full resources of the kingdom at her disposal!
It is urgent that you understand her position. Her daily existence was an environment of the constant realization that a demonic threat against God’s people loomed in the distance. Yet as a true prophet she listened only to the voice of the Lord and moved with His timing. When you move in time with the Kingdom the armies of Heaven surround you and advance with you. She elevated her gaze upon the highest authority in all the world and stepped up into her Kingdom position assigned to her before her birth by God Almighty. Elevate your gaze and step up higher people of God!
“I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”
Psalms 18:1-2 NLT
Be strengthened by the banquet this holiday season. This is at the root a holy wind coming to revive your very souls. The love of Christ is first healing your souls as you gather with your loved ones to thank Him for who He has been, who He is and who He will be for your family.
Many will recount after this glorious day of worship that they felt as if they had spent the day with parents or other loved ones who are current citizens of Heaven. This is due to the fact that the Kingdom of Heaven is coming into your homes to invade your praise. Focus this event on honoring God, take communion at your dining tables with your loved ones, honor God for His steadfast movement in your lives.
As your souls begin to flourish in the fellowship of the presence of God Almighty and the warmth of loved ones physical healing will suddenly break out.
“The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.”
Proverbs 4:18 NLT
Prepare your homes to be places of thanksgiving and praise to God this coming Thursday. In the midst of pain and turmoil you are commanded to celebrate! Prepare to be strengthened by the banquet.
