THE RISE OF THE CHURCH AS AN ESTHER OF OUR TIME

I saw a war in the Spirit between holy and unholy, false doctrine and the true Gospel of the Kingdom, the ‘Haman spirit’ and the Esther’s of our time. In a dream the Lord showed me the rising of a deceiving Spirit of our time that the Church is called to discern and expose. This deceiving Spirit aims to present Holy as unholy in the Earth. The righteous will call this deception out and expose it. The unholy was being presented as Holy and many were falling for it! Through this dream the Lord highlighted 3 things that we are to be watchful of: -We will see false teachings rising rapidly in the Earth and we need to be able to discern fake from real. -Unholy will be presented as Holy in our schools, gatherings, and amongst Christians to lead many astray. -We are to discern those who are just looking for a following, but not following Christ. The Lord is pulling people out of Satanism and demonic engagement but the spirit of the world wants to deceive these precious ones with a fake Jesus, a Jesus that is only gracious and merciful. Jesus is gracious and so merciful but our recognition of his love and sacrifice for us brings us to repentance and to not remain in a sinful lifestyle. The Jesus of the Bible is the lover of our souls, gracious and merciful, Lord of Lord’s, King of Kings and Judge. We cannot isolate the characteristics of Jesus we want to suit our belief system of Him. He is all of the above. In a vision I saw the Holy Spirit visiting the 7 Churches of the book of Revelation, encouraging the churches to come up higher, to be true revealers of the culture of Heaven and a beacon of light to a confused society. The Church is a type of Esther in our time. Esther had to transition from a place of having beauty preparations to standing in her purpose to save souls. Boldness had to arise. God is transitioning us into our mission. He is taking us through a refining process where the Holy Spirit will reveal to each Church what we need to rid ourselves off and what we need to build ourselves up in.   Church, we are called for such a time as this, where deceiving spirits are in full force convincing people in the earth that unholy can be accepted as Holy. As I look around at the many perversions coming to a forefront in our time and just being accepted as an individual’s choice, I see how crafty the enemy is, robbing people of a true relationship with Jesus.   God is stirring up His Churches to speak. The Church will not stand by and watch the ‘Haman spirit’ deceive people. The ‘Esther’ Churches see the ripeness of time to act, and understand their position of privilege.   As I meditated on what God was speaking to me, Matthew 24:14 thundered in my spirit, ” And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”   The gospel we are meant to be preaching is the ‘gospel of the Kingdom’ there is no other true gospel except the gospel of the Kingdom, that which Christ preached. We cannot add to this gospel nor subtract. The gospel of the kingdom is the good-news message of repentance, redemption, and restoration which God offers to everyone who will receive Christ. Accepting this offer makes you part of His eternal kingdom (John 1:12). If you choose to remain in your sin, you cannot be a part of this kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9–10; Galatians 5:19–21). It is through grace that this offer is made available to anyone who will receive it. The offer comes with freedom from our slavery to sin if we will repent and turn to God (Romans 6:18–19). When we repent, we change direction. We do not stay as we are. To truly be saved means that there will start be a transformation in us where we start to reflect the likeness of Jesus Christ”, “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” 2 Cor 3:18.   Let the Church speak in power and love to those led astray to not follow a false Jesus, one that calls us to be ‘ourselves’. The Jesus of the bible calls us to be transformed into His image. we were called for such a time as this! A great harvest is on the horizon, many rush in to hear the TRUTH of the gospel of the Kingdom.]]>
