Discuss Esther 2 Page 2

Queen; That is a nice thought in some way, but not really true in every case. When God sees a degree of integrity still in men's hearts, then He does indeed keep them from sinning against Him; and the case with Esther was like that with Ahashverosh the king, who we will find to be a really good man. And so for us who wish to please the Lord and be useful to Him, the Light in us convicts people.

ESTHER WAS A WOMAN WHO CARRIED GOD'S OWN GRACE AND SUPPERNATURAL FAVOUR AND SO OBTAINED IT IN THE SIGHT OF THE KING IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS PREPARED AND SENT BEFORE HIM. AND SO I HAVE LEARNT THAT IF GOD BLESSES YOU NO MAN CAN REJECT YOU. AMEN

Young Woman should be purified before she goes before her King. They need to learn about the love of Jesus, her body as the temple of God and proper submission to God and Man before marriage.

It doesn't matter at all what we think should be done in living for God; what His word says is all that matters. The O.T. was a 'teacher', 'shadow' to bring us to Christ of the N.T. JESUS fulfilled all the ceremonial laws; it's all in Him now. The O.T. MORAL laws still stand, i.e. the ten commandments, Deut. 22:5 - anything in the O.T. that was an 'abomination' - still stands.

She's the girl of morals, thanks uncle Mordecai

This passage is power in my life my LORD JESUS CHRIST put in my spirit to read and define verse 2 in chapter 2 an I get some more input on this verse ?

I think it's powerful to see Esther go from the pit to the palace

I think Esther 2 teaches a lesson for the good and the bad.

Ahasuerus sounds like the name one would name a sneeze instead of the name of a king, yet Esther went before him like a trooper and her courage saved a very selective, and set aside group of people, who were and are chosen by God, The Jewish people. When Jesus walked on this earth, he was Jewish, born to a Jewish mother.

There is a beauty that is beyond the senses, Esther appeared to have both-------she probably had beauty from within. She was an orphan herself, and she had probably been teased by some members of her community for being reared by a relative instead of her birth parents whom she had never really known. Her courage to go before the King is to be noted, because she had to endure one year of beauty treatments before she could do so. She came along in a point of time to save her people, a special group of people through which all the nations of the world would be blessed.

Ecclesiates 9:15 If one should look at the characteristic of WISDOM and also the end-product of WISDOM, one will come to understand the fact that one of the products of WISDOM is UPLIFTMENT or PROMOTION.But in this case the writer shouldn 't have ascribed the word WISDOM to the poor man in question. The man was not a man of WISDOM from biblical perspectives.For instance, JUDGES 11:1-11 but was knowledgeabl in that regard. I therefore, do not try to oppos or contradict that biblical illustrations of this story,but rather giving a clearer differentiation between, 1, being KNOWLEDGEABLE, 2, and being fill or full of WISDOM.I do not equally subscribe to or mean that one should try to get his or her rewards through mental or diplomatic manipulation but in most cases we should learn to lean on GOD just as in the case of Mordecai in the book of ESTHER 2:21-23.

I woke last night with the words in my head Esther2.1 . I got out of bed and read it and further. I feel this is certainly a message from God for me . But not sure what the message is. Still thrilled to have a scripture.

The name of God is not mentioned in the book of Esther. However, His providential hand can be seen throughout it.

@Burgermouth,
Telepathy “is the claimed innate ability of humans and other creatures to communicate information from one mind to another, without the use of extra tools such as speech or body language.” (Definition form internet). Though it is not really proved, telepathy is believed to be a transfer of information (feelings) between 2 individuals; both imperfect.
Yet prayer is communication between man and his creator. That communication is precise and concise, as it focuses on main needs.
And the Bible clearly states that prayer is at a certain level is inspired by God himself through the holy spirit that helps us to formulate (even) what mankind is not able to tell by itself. As it says in Romans 8:
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
The perfection that this communication between Man and God comes with is far beyond so called telepathy, and is just matchless. Because the spirit of God tells us what to pray for and how to best utter (say) it.
God bless you.

Is prayer a form of telepathy?

Esther was blessed because of her obedience. Sometimes when we miss out it's because of our own disobedience. She was also humble, she didn't take credit but made sure that Mordecai was recognized.

Esther has proven and given hope to me that anything is possible with God, no matter who you are, your nationality.. If you desire something with all your heart it will come to pass.. No matter how impossible it might seem.. It will be done unto you. I have decided not to look down on myself but to keep my focus..!

Esther's situation confirms God's plans for us as in Jeremiah 29:11. And for sure, there is no situation that cannot change for He raises us from dust to sit with kings!

Mordecai was a jew, who took in Hadassah known as Esther. The King was told by his advisors to get all beautiful virgins for the King to find a new Queen who would love him. He and the advisors like Esther.

She was very courageous,obedient.

thank God for the kind of spirit and understanding given to esther over mordecai for making mention of him to the king. For many will look down on mordecai

God pull down kings and raised up kings... and in the case in the book of Esther, he pull down queens and raise up queens...and its all for HIS purpose and glory.

Mordecai was a shining a example for us all. He treated the young girl like his own. He did not take undue advantage of the situation to abuse or molest her.

God bless the Mordecai of our time. Amen

the place of obedience in one's live can never be overemphasized, disobedience dethrones queen vashti and obedience crown ester

Esther chapter 2 makes me shed tears. I ponder over the omnipotence of the Almighty God, who can do those things that look impossible among men.

what do I think about acts 5:30 Is the same as I think about, acts 13:29 / acts 10:39/ esther 2:23/ deut 21:23/Galations 3:13/ 1 peter 2:24/ deut 21:22/ Genesis 40:19.they all say tree

I love esthers story.....
As a christian it helps me grow....
I love her faith in the lord God...
