Dare to Ask
The simplicity of the question belies its difficulty for most of us. Jesus often asked people, ‘what do you want?’. When He spoke to the disciples during His last hours on earth, He reminded them that being in a relationship with Him allowed them to ‘ask anything in His name…’. (John 14). I fully believe that Holy Spirit invites every child of God to ask. The Bible tells us that He is willing to give good gifts to His children. (Matt. 7)
Esther’s story concludes with a great victory for the people of God. They not only escape the genocide but are ridden of their enemies and inherit the wealth of those who hate them. It all started with a young woman who dared to put on her robes, go into the King and ask.
Then the king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you.” (Esther 5:3)
The King's response hints at our inheritance in Jesus. I encourage you to look up into the face of the true King of Heaven and ask in Jesus' name.
... to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. (Ephesians 1:10)
