1 “And If I perish, I perish” Esther 4:16

2 One of the Great Love Stories of our Bible
The Book o f Esther – One of the Great Love Stories of our Bible How One Woman Loved Her God and Loved Her People so much That When faced with Absolute Evil Not only did she Cry Out to God Esther took Action! She was willing to lay down her life Esther 4:16 “And so I will go in unto the King, and if I perish, I perish”

3 As We Look at Esther’s Life
We Will See This is not just a Book about the Past … Esther is a Book about Great Things to Come There are so many parallels to the Book of Revelation So many 7’s in the book of Esther…….. A great Feast for 7 Days, In the 7th Year 7 chamberlains 7 maidens, 7 Princes A Bride & A Wedding Feast One wicked Decree to Kill the People of God 10 Evil men to carry it out!

4 The Kingdom of Persia is IRAN
There is another Evil Ruler who want to wipe out the Chosen People of Israel and The Church – Another Haman – The Top Islamic Ruler is the Ayatollah Hameini The 10 sons of Haman – Future 10 Kings under the Anti-Christ

5 I want to ENCOURAGE the Church
to Strengthen the Believers That in Evil Day s, God is STILL doing a great Work For Us, In Us and Through Us Just as Esther is Preparing to Go Before the King To Seek His Face

6 Tonight so many Evil things happening around the world –
Like in Turkey, in Paris, Israel, and recently in the US….. We cry Out to God as the Church … When Evil seems to be ADVANCING…

7 God Has A Word About The Days
we Are Living in ……. A Word to Encourage us…. How To Stand in the Day of Evil l ……like Esther did Let’s Go to: Malachi 3: “The Book of Remembrance”

8 Malachi 3:14-18 14.“You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God
and what profit it is that we have kept His ordinance …and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts? 15. And now we call the proud happy; yes, they that work wickedly are set up; yes, they that tempt God are even delivered.” Malachi 3:14-18

9 16. “Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: and the Lord harkened & heard,
and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon His Name.” Malachi 3:14-17

10 as a man spares his own son that loves Him.”
17. “And they shall by Mine, says the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels, as a man spares his own son that loves Him.”

11 Serve God Like Esther did….. With her Life!
18. “Then shall You return & discern between the righteous & the wicked, between he that serves God & he that serves Him not.” Serve God Like Esther did….. With her Life!

12 Now these verses were spoken to Israel

13 But these verse are also for The Church
“Jewels” = in Hebrew “ A Peculiar Treasure”

14 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency
God calls Us His Jewels– His Peculiar Treasure “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, A holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1 Peter 2:9 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us” 2 Corin. 4:7 “Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works Titus 2:14

15 What Day is God sparing His Jewels from? The Tribulation
Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the Day comes that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yes & all those who do wickedly shall be stubble: and the Day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of Hosts, leaving them neither branch nor root.”

16 The Day That He makes Up His Jewels - The Rapture

17 The Day of Remembrance…
Points to the Rapture”

18 When God’s People Remember Him ….. He Remembers them
When We Take a Step Towards God Like Esther Did God Takes a Giant Step towards Us When We Lay Our Lives Down like Esther He will move in Our Own Lives like Esther He Will Use Us for His Great Plan If the Cry Of Our heart is Remember Me O God…..

19 Have Supernatural Strength Destroy enemies like Samson
28. Samson called to the Lord, & said, O Lord God, remember me I pray, and strengthen me, I pray, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my 2 eyes. 29. And Samson took hold of the 2 middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand & of the other with his left. 30. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; & the house fell upon the lords, and on all the people that were there. So the dead which Samson slew at his death were more than those Which he slew in his whole life.”

20 Receive Supernatural Healing & Protection Like Hezekiah
“Remember Me, O God...” “He prayed to the Lord, saying "Remember now, O Lord I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart, and I have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept.” Kings 2::3

21 Take Back what God has Given you!
Conquer Fear like Nehemiah Take Back what God has Given you! “”Be Not Afraid of Your Enemy” Remember the Lord is Great & terrible Fight for your Brethren Fight for your Sons & Daughters Fight for your Wives & Homes

22 Give Birth to Supernatural Sons – Pray like Hannah!
“O Lord, if You will indeed look on the affliction of your maidservant and remember me, & forget not your maidservant, but will give me a son; then I will give him to You all the days of his life” 1 Samuel 1:11 And the Lord remembered Hannah She bare a son and named him Samuel

23 Receive Double for your Trouble like Job, When You feel like giving up
“O, that You would hid me in the grave, that You would keep me secret until Your wrath be past, that You would appoint me a set time and remember me.” Job 14:13

24 Lay your life down for others - Prophesy like Abigail
“ When the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember me” 1 Sam 25:31

25 Now to the New Testament

26 Worship like the Woman with the Ababaster Jar
“Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, there came to Him a woman with a alabaster box of very precious ointment & poured it on his head as he sat to eat.” “When his disciples saw it. They were indignant, saying…Why this waste, She could have sold the ointment for much and given to the poor. Jesus said to them, ‘She has done a good work for Me. Your will always have the poor, but you will not always have Me with you. She has poured this ointment on my body for my burial. Wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told as a memorial to her.” Matthew 26:6-13

27 “One of the men which were hanged
railed on Him, the other rebuked him, saying “Don’t you fear God, seeing you are also condemned. We are condemned justly for we receive due rewards of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Real Real Repentance “And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. Jesus said, Verily I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” Like the Thief on the Cross

28 Receive Your Salvation Be Baptized in the Holy Spirit
like Cornelius - Acts 10 First Gentile Saved – a Centurion A Just Devout Man Prays and Fasts Gives Offerings One that Fears God Speaks in Tongues “Your prayers & your alms have come up for a memorial before God.” Acts 10:4

29 Now the Best Part – The Holy Spirit Takes Part He Brings All Things to Our Remembrance!

30

31 We Remember God when Celebrate the Lord’s Supper –
“This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, This is the New Covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 1 Cor. 11:24-25

32 There is another Supper to Come!
He will Rapture us For The Wedding Supper of the Lamb
