“Appointed Times”–

Almighty God called and positioned Esther in life for Royality! Queen Esther, with God’s favor and anointing, was instrumental in saving the Jewish People from destruction! Like Queen Esther, our Lord God has positioned people for critical moments in history!
Recently, our President spoke to Congress and the American People. Reactions to President Trump’s address were mixed as they normally are politically! The Congressional event tragically exposed the callousness of people’s hearts today. Folks can approve or disapprove of the speech, but the reaction and Cold Heartless responses towards People’s Lives, touched by severe challenges and tragedy is just unacceptable! This specific moment in time has revealed what might be representative of heart attitudes across all walks of life. We must raise a questioning concern: Have we individually and as a whole become so cold toward wounded and hurting humanity? For us and our day, it seems to be a fact “we do not feel other’s pain and act as it’s not my problem, until it’s our turn? Then, we cannot understand and expect why other’s Don’t Feel–Care–Help!”
Leadership, no matter at what levels and walks of life, must all understand they are positioned to Help and Serve! Likewise, as Christians, our Lord God has called and positioned us “For Such A Time As This!” Lives, yes even our Nation all hang in the balance. It is essential to fulfill our calling to be “Salt, Light, Witnesses, and Declare the Hope within us in Jesus!”
Friends, it is a fact, “Lawlessness” has and continues to increase resulting in most people’s love grows cold. So too, as it was in Noah’s Day even now, people’s hearts and priorities will be self-centered and pleasure oriented! It is no wonder care and concern for others (the broken and hurting) is met with Heart Hardness–Coldness–Lack of Empathy–Lacking Compassion–Even Refusals to Help!
We must ask, What’s our message “For Such A Time As This?” We must know and declare: The Good News is Our Lord God Loves us ALL!

and Hope” in God.
