Do you relate to RELIGIOUS-VASHTI, STUBBORN-HAMAN, STEADYING-MORDECAI OR SURPRISED-ESTHER? …
COMMITTED TO GO FORWARD… Part 6
HUNG BY THE TONGUE TRAP ... Esther comes up with a delightful trap for ‘Hey-man’ (Haman’s ‘ministry’ calls to the natural man) and shows us that popularity with people is the first step downhill. Out of the depth of Haman-life, he conceived a spectacular way of lifting up himself while pushing down the opposition [or could be:- criticising another so that one gets lifted up! Hmmm!] and thinking that he was blessed by God in it! That is why Haman built the gallows 50c high {50 being the number for anointing}. He wanted to be high and lifted up and he was not going to be deterred! However, our just Father never sleeps and He came to the rescue overnight just demonstrating that HE IS ALWAYS LORD, ALWAYS IN COMPLETE CONTROL. By referencing the written records, God unveiled truth that set the situation free!
All this came about initially through partaking of the revealing ‘royal wine of the Kingdom’.... which, by the way, is totally different from any Church-age “dietcoke” calling however anointed that might appear! Esther, a true ‘son’ submitted to her revealed calling. Esther had a calling to see the Kingdom set her people free. This same calling is upon all who have ears to hear. Before she could see such a calling activated in her life, as we have seen, she had to go through a preparation time. Vashti ignored her calling even if she knew about it! “Ruling and Reigning” is a huge responsibility and requires careful, thoughtful training. t.b.c.
