Now is the time!

Hey New Lifers,

 

With just 3 days until New Life’s relaunch is there anything we can do but wait?

 

Actually there is something we can do.  The same thing Esther did.

Let me explain.

 

Most of us know the story of Esther.

Through events uncontrollable by Esther but definitely designed by God, Esther was crowned the new Queen of Persia. 

And it is during this time a threat rises to exterminate her people from the kingdom. 

Her uncle, Mordecai, comes to her asking for help and when she first refuses he responds with those famous words in Esther 4:14.

 

“Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

 

Mordecai’s words struck a cord with Esther so she decides to risk her life to save the lives of her people.

But before doing that, she requested her uncle and all the Jews in the kingdom join her in a fast in preparation for going to the king unannounced (which was punishable by death).

 

After 3 days of fasting, she went to the king, gained his favor and saved her people.

 

In the spirit of Mordecai I ask,

“Who knows if perhaps you were brought to New Life for just such a time as this?”

I think you were.

 

And in the spirit of Esther I ask,

“Will you join me in a fast the next 3 days (Thursday-Saturday) before we go and see the King of kings on Sunday?”

 

If you are already fasting then finish strong with me.

If you have finished your fast or never started, start with me today.

 

Something special is going to happen this Sunday on 9-11-16 and I would love for all of you to be a part of it.  And bring a friend.  Why?

Because - Now is the time!

 

See you Sunday,

Pastor David
