What the enemy wishes you did not know

SUMMARY: The message from the story of Esther is that God is looking for one person to do the unthinkable and change the course of a nation or people group. It's not about just sitting in a church, but about being heirs of a kingdom and spreading the kingdom of God wherever we go. The enemy tries to hide the truth that as new Christians, we are completely new creations and the very substance of the righteousness of God. We can overcome sin not because of self-control, but because God has already transformed the cells in our bodies. If we understand and align our thinking with what heaven says about us, we can behave the way we were made to be. Modern psychology also tells us that we behave based on our understanding of our identity.
The speaker discusses three things that the enemy doesn't want Christians to know. Firstly, that they are brand new creations and have been renewed in their minds. Secondly, that they are more than the world's estimations and have access to supernatural power. Finally, that they are not outnumbered and should not feel overwhelmed by the enemy. The speaker encourages listeners to focus on their identity in Christ and to spend time with the Holy Spirit, who speaks words of identity, destiny, and courage.
1. Don't let fear control you.
2. Submission to God is key to victory.
3. You are not outnumbered by the enemy.
4. Feasting and joy are the best context for breaking free.
5. The Father is kinder than you can ever believe.
The speaker is an introvert who struggles to find alone time with her children always following her around. She talks about the story of Jesus calming the storm and how often when we are in the storms of our lives, we question whether God cares. She encourages listeners to believe that surely, goodness and mercy will follow them all the days of their lives and to break the lies of the enemy with joy and courage. She ends the speech with a prayer of submission to God's kindness.

Today, I want to speak to you about something that really is my life's message. This is something that I live, that I breathe, that I learn regularly over and over again. And it's a message that the enemy wishes, you didn't know. This message has been birthed in me over the last few years. It is from the story in the book of Esther. And I'm not going to read you the whole book, because we're going to cover pretty much the whole book today. But I'm going to tell you the story. But if you want to find what I'm talking about, it's in the Old Testament, in the first third of the Bible, really. And it's this remarkable story of a woman who was very insignificant, but God chose her to change history.
I love the story of Esther because I feel like there is treasure in that book for us as the people of God to find, to digest, to allow it to take root in our life. Because if we allow the truths that we find in that book to overwhelm our lives, we will become a people who are incredibly unstoppable. And more than happy to do the impossible because we understand who our God is, but not only who our God is, but who he has made us to be. And so this message is from the book of Esther what the enemy wishes you didn't know.
