Jesus raised you up for just such a time as this!

11/7/2019

For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14 NKJV

The King of Persia deposed his wife. He made a Jewish girl named Esther his queen. A plot was hatched to kill all of the Jewish people in the kingdom. God used Esther to deliver His people destruction.

The command of God to be Holy is for all His people. The instructions for living a life of Godliness are for all Christians. God’s promises of blessing, protection and provision are for all people who call on the name of the Lord. Jesus wants all of us to serve Him!

God could have delivered His people anyway He chose. He chose to use Esther. The Lord chose to place her in a position of authority and influence at a very specific time in history. The Lord raised Esther up for a very specific purpose!

The command to walk worthy of the calling for which you were called is for all of God’s people. The great commission is a command to men women and young people as well.

Jesus raised you up at a specific time in history for a very specific purpose!

Be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within you. Be strong and courageous enough to speak up for Jesus. Serve Jesus in obedience to His call on your life today!

When you speak to your neighbor God will be with you. If you speak to the people in a neighboring nation the Lord will be with you. Jesus will give you the words to speak to the people He send you to when you need them.

The Spirit of God will be with you when you serve Jesus. That is the purpose for which God raised you up at this specific time in His-story!

You could be a secret agent Christian and remain silent. But who knows whether God has brought you into His Kingdom to deliver many people to Jesus!

The Lord can save anyone anyway anytime. Do not miss out on the blessing. Let Jesus use you to deliver people from bondage to unbelief!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus raised you up for just such a time as this!
