The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah

(Audio: Spanish, English) ->Original

SUMMARY: The book of Esther is a chronicle of how prayer and spiritual processes prevail over human processes and governmental processes. Christians have always bent their knees as a community to ask for God's intervention in times of crisis. Despite political efforts, this battle has to be fought in the arena of the spiritual world and spiritual warfare. Our first and last hope is in the almighty God who can change the hearts and directions of the parties. We must put our hope in God and cry out to him for intervention in the issue of immigration reform. We send waves of power and authority over Washington and every legislature of this nation, asking for a transformational change. To God be the glory, honor, and power. Amen.

When the sisters asked me to bring a meditation, the book of Esther and the life of Esther, Queen Esther, came to mind. The connection that I make in my mind is the fact that in Esther's book there is a dynamic where politics and government events are flowing in a specific direction. But at the moment another parallel dynamic is also emerging, and that is the dynamic of the spirit and of prayer.

Actually, the entire book of Esther, which I invite you to read if you haven't read it, is a chronicle of how prayer and spiritual processes prevail over human processes and governmental processes. And that's why we're here tonight, because we believe that God is more powerful than any direction that men want to give to the affairs of government.
