Intercession

Esther 5:13

"Yet all this avails me nothing, 

so long as I see Mordecai the Jew

 sitting at the king's gate." 

The devil is filled with wrath

 with those who worship only GOD.

He is angry with those who do not worship him.

Esther 4:11

"All the king's servants 

and the people of the king's provinces know

 that any man or woman 

who goes into the inner court to the king,

 who has not been called,

 he has but one law: 

put all to death, 

except the one

to whom the king holds out the golden scepter,

 that he may live. 

Yet I myself have not been called

 to go in to the king these thirty days." 

None can enter the Presence of the King of kings 

Except through the grace extended by Him.

John 3:36

"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;

 and he who does not believe the Son

 shall not see life, 

but the wrath of God abides on him." 

If not for the grace of GOD

 revealed through JESUS,

 everyone of us would be under the wrath of GOD.

Esther 4:16

"Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan,

 and fast for me; 

neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. 

My maids and I will fast likewise. 

And so I will go to the king, 

which is against the law;

 and if I perish, I perish!" 

GOD has extended the Golden Scepter to us

 in the form of His Son,

 that we may enter

 into His awesome presence and not perish.

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world

 that He gave His only begotten Son,

 that whoever believes in Him

 should not perish but have everlasting life. 

Esther 4:13-14

And Mordecai told them to answer Esther:

 "Do not think in your heart

 that you will escape in the king's palace

 any more than all the other Jews.

 "For if you remain 

completely silent at this time,

 relief and deliverance will arise

 for the Jews from another place, 

but you and your father's house will perish. 

Yet who knows 

whether you have come to the kingdom

 for such a time as this?" 

Ezekiel 22:30-31

"So I sought for a man among them

 who would make a wall, 

and stand in the gap before Me

 on behalf of the land,

 that I should not destroy it;

 but I found no one.

 "Therefore

 I have poured out My indignation on them;

 I have consumed them

 with the fire of My wrath;

 and I have recompensed their deeds 

on their own heads," 

says the Lord GOD.

 Therefore GOD is looking for an intercessor

 through whom He might extend His grace

 and withhold punishment.

Have you experienced the grace of GOD?

Are you responsible

 to go before GOD

 in the name of JESUS 

on behalf of your people, 

on behalf of your nation 

and on behalf of others?

Esther 4:17

So Mordecai went his way

and did according to all that

 Esther commanded him. 

When we do what the LORD requests of us, 

He will do what we ask of Him.

John 14:14 

"If you ask anything in My name,

 I will do it.
