Lena's Study Time Journailn' to Esther 8 Today

This right here is why I post Lena’s Journalin’, in order to better understand the word that an enemy cannot in any way, shape or form, come against and steal the precious word of God from us which is able to save our souls!
If we only read our chapter each day as a point racking up with God system of merit, we’ve gained nothing in our Christian growth, we must come to understand the words of Life in order to make a literal plan to do them! That is what changes one’s world.
The Kingdom of God on earth is threatened in this very way, we perish for what we do not intimately know. How well do we know (intimately understand the character of Our Father and the Living applicable Word of God?) Can the enemy easily take it from us, and annihilate us from bringing the kingdom of God on earth? Will we stand for that? Will we allow an enemy to do that? How can we stop it?
Study?
Fellowship, regularly?
Read, Read, Read?
Understand, understand, understand?
Pray, Pray, Pray!
Fast!
Why?
There are souls hanging in the balance, that the enemy would love to seek for and devour. Will we allow the potential of a whole new nation on earth, to perish, or are their souls being saved, worth laying down our own agendas and lifelong pursuits? Is it that important it to us?
At our local fellowship, we are having a getaway/Encounter retreat this weekend. There are 110 men and women attending. The enemy hates that. He does not even want them to go, let alone understand why they are there or have them plan to meet with God! If/when they do meet with God, he is right there to steal away their understanding of what they heard if someone is not fasting and praying otherwise for the salvation of their souls!
We have a whole nation of people all around us who need people like this to wet their appetites with the word of life, who need to sit and explain it to them after they’ve gotten them to taste a bit, then to shoo off any vultures that may hover waiting for the word given them to die off, if they can’t weasel in and try to get in there to kill it first.
It is never enough for a believer to just say a prayer and make a verbal confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. One must demonstrate their faith as solid and real, or it was never faith at all. There is a warfare, my enemies became His, but His also became mine, when I made my lifelong confession of my seriously intended commitment!
Please pray for our Encounterees, they are wheat sheaves in a harvest basket, which is an honor unto the Lord, He is well pleased, but it is not enough to bring in the basketsful, He is looking for the products that will come forth from the 110, at least, 30, 60 and 100 fold!
Let’s say 30 fold is you hear it, 60 fold is you go further to gain understanding, and 100 fold is you DO it, by changing your life and you now live that way! Please pray for the 100 fold to come out the other side!
Is there an Esther, who will lay down her own life’s desires, for food, entertainment, happiness, vanity etc., to win some?
This kind of persons will change a kingdom on earth. Will bring a heaven on earth, where rather than Christians being threatened by enemies, the enemies are threatened by US!
Amen!
