Just did a study on the book of Esther after seeking the Lord on the election (the Holy Spirit kept telling me to look here) - all I can say is WOW - some notes that I plan to expound upon -

1. God does not play dice, there are no coincidences

2. Christians shouldn't meddle in politics is not based on anything Biblical - see David, Esther, Joseph, Nehemiah - passiveness is very dangerous. The church has been sleeping - not realizing that their 501c statuses are more at risk than ever - foreseeing the very real possibilities of having to bow down to secularism... use your imagination (having to marry who they say to marry, etc. etc. etc.)

3. Haman (the antagonist in the story) is the example of everything God hates - Proverbs 6:16-19. I encourage you to read those verses and think about who/what that reminds you of... and He was dealt with.... ironically defeated by his own trap, very interesting.

4. God's timing is perfect. He is always working behind the scenes.

5. Money was a big motive in Haman's plan... (think of what you are hearing in the news and these backroom deals...)

6. Haman was being set-up by God for the perfect moment

7. Pride comes before the fall... Haman was proudful and arrogant. Consider the saying "Hogs get slaughtered' - you are seeing this set up right now considering the election. Think "TOO confident".

8. WHAT A TURNAROUND. Yes, the turnaround that happened was a miracle - the Jews went from about to be slaughtered, to the exact opposite.... Sound familiar to what is happening now?

9. People became Jews... Think splitting the Red Sea. When the TURNAROUND happened, it was undeniable that God's hand was on the Jews.... there were many conversions.... as I've said on record - If the Lord is willing and this is turned around... there will be NO DENYING -

Like I said I hope to expound upon these, but I am reading my notes. My heart and spirit have been very contrite and the Lord kept saying Esther.... all I can say is

WOW.

BELIEVE.

THE TURNAROUND.
