THE BOOK OF ESTHER PART 2 | PRINCIPLES OF UNCOMMON FAVOR | APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus we bless you this morning and we decree and declare that forever your name alone be glorified we thank you for this opportunity again that you have provided to seek to learn to grow to receive we declare that our hearts are opened in the name of Jesus and father we declare again that this morning there is the hearing of faith and the working of miracles Lord we decree and declare but your word will come with power and it'll be edifying to our spirits in Jesus name I pray Amen where you bless oh no passionately amazing amazing god bless you sir please before you see would you help me again to honor the man of God the angel over this house and his adorable wife god bless you sir but less not only on all year whistle oh I honor of every every distinguished personality in this place made a lot increase in Jesus name please be seated I'll be up here only for a few minutes but then I pray that within this time that we have together the Lord will speak to us and the Lord will challenge us in the name of Jesus we began to explore the book of Esther yesterday this morning very briefly we're going to be looking at the second key that Esther engaged the first was honor and let me just do a quick recap I said yesterday that the owner is the designing the celebrating and if need be the rewarding of an individual as a measure of their usefulness in your life are we together now that honor is a key that can open door every door closes because of dishonor dishonor to God dishonor to men and dishonor to principals please pay attention this is true everything was correct in the palace - dishonor the palace was almost dividing the chariots were still there the wealth in the Treasury were still there the servants were still there but one woman communicating dishonor was about to divide 127 provinces there's no telling how far the disaster that dishonor can produce in the life of an individual I did say yesterday that is not enough to be gifted to be skilled is not enough to have the intellectual where without it is important this is the world of men is not enough to honor God you must oh no man [Music] praise the Lord so on or transited the young village girl called Hadassah to become queen the second key that we see there and we'll just build on that very briefly this morning is favor please say favor one more time say favor the number one reason people succeed in life is favor it is true but I want to make an adjustment very quickly this morning because I think there has been what I would call an observation in the way and manner favor is thought the very definition of favor that has been communicated to people is the reason why they never experienced it for status let me tell you favor never happens just once if it happened just once it is breakthrough not favor favor is predictable repeatable under any circumstance praise the Lord he says thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion for the time to favor her near the set time viscom Alleluia the mainstream definition of favor is unmerited access I agree but broadly speaking I disagree I disagree because favor like love and wisdom has dimensions and only one of the dimension of favor should be seen as unmerited access and that is favor when you are dealing with the saving grace the saving grace that was communicated in the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ it is unmerited we receive by faith nothing can be added nothing can be subtracted I agree but every other dimension of favor in this kingdom is merited please listen it is important the proposition that all the dimensions of favor are unmerited will leave us in utter frustration favor is a reaction it can be programmed there are exact things you do that call me names to favor proverbs chapter 13 please and 15 if we have it quickly let's just read it really with me if you're a Christian and you believe the Bible proverbs chapter 13 and verse 15 one to replace good understanding give it favor but the way of transgressors is hard the Bible talks about two pregnant woman here the two pregnant women the first woman is called good understanding she's a woman and has a wound and the other woman is called transgression also a woman that both women can give birth and that good understanding can give birth to a baby and the name of the baby is favor and that transgression can also give back to a baby and the name of the baby is had she a transgressor is not a sinner a transgressor is not an unbeliever it transgressor is a consistent violator of God ordinances and that can happen even if you are born again and the Bible says you will continue to program the Bethan of an experience called hardship this is true spiritually this is true politically this is true intellectually and so on and so forth faithful is programmable and the mother that gives birth to favor is good understanding there is an exact belief construction that you can have and it can bethe favored in your life again and again Priscilla the Bible lets us know that when Vashti was banished the king decided to gather all the young virgins and the cousin of this man who sat at the gate Murdock I he decided to give his cousin a chance to see if her adventure the King would find interest in her are we still together and then the Bible says that hey guy I am I'm just rushing because I don't want us to spend time looking from Scripture to Scripture and Hadassah is also brought together with the Virgin's the Bible says they were kept under the custody of a man called Haggai the keeper of the king's virgins and all the women were given everything that they wanted to adorn themselves to look as presentable as possible and then the Bible tells us very surprisingly if you would give us this Esther chapter 2 and verse 15 Esther chapter 2 and verse 15 as such up to 250 esta chapter 2 and verse 15 the Bible tells us that now when the ton of esta the daughter of a bhai the uncle of Malachi who had taken her for his daughter was come to go onto the team she required nothing but what he got the Kings Chamberlain the keeper of the women appointed GaN please and esta of tim schafer in the sight of all them who looked upon her not look at this it looks like a child for as long as your I made contact with esta you were compelled to favor her is a grace that a village girl stands in the midst of many other people and whoever looked at her had an interest in her woe betide the man who is a life in our deal without the graceful favour I tell you sincerely life will be hard nobody loves you by default it takes a grace to make men interested in your issue there is a grace that can make men isolate their own concerns and junior interest towards you he said grace people are too busy for you to attract that level of commitment from them there is a grace that must come from heaven that can compel a man to be desired that people go out of their way as though under an influence verse 17 same as such of the two and verse 17 and the King my god not está above all the women before esta arrived he was considering orders this is wonderful and when Esther showed of the King loft esta above all the women and she obtained Grace and favor in his sight more than all the veggies what was the reward saw that he sets the royal crown upon her head and made her Queen instead of rusty the mystery the and fawning power of favor all those picture we see how that man found favor with God was it not for 430 years the Bible records that the nation of Israel were under the captivity of the Egyptians to the point that Pharaoh would not even give them straw and in one night please see one night favor ha speedo that you can see a man today anton anton back and not identify the person again because the favor of God has transcended the present this is true this is true is not just a church talk I tell you when the graceful favor comes upon your life you will join those clapping for you to stand in wonder and say God I know you can move what what is this when the Lord tonic in the captivity of Zion the Bible says we were like damn that giving and so said they among the hidden the Lord had done great things for us I came this morning to share the scripture and to trust that God will put something upon our lives this morning that means when we step out of this place you see remember I told you yesterday that nothing comes from God two men directly everything comes from God through man two men and everything leaves you from Satan two men from men if I would use that expression nothing will come from God to you directly including salvation it will come from God to a man to a man so if God says yes and the man in the middle the answer for you will still be no it takes both God and the men to say yes for your destiny to say yes praise the Lord [Music] Herman began to plot than the annihilation of the Jews and he obtained permission from the king promising to give him some money in return and then the report got to Esther and Mordecai had encouraged her stand up and grow an advocate for us but she was afraid because traditionally you would not enter into the Kings inner chamber without his invitation and if he did not lift his golden censer the price the penalty was death I were together and now está was about to take to make a very costly sacrifice then she says please declare fast all of us let me take the risk of going to the king if I perish I perish and then the Bible says that Esther stands before the king and then the King not only lives his golden censer but then he says what do you desire that up to half of my kingdom I will give to you the king was willing to divide his province into two on account of a woman who obtained favor from the Lord life is not hard when you have favor [Music] a little Mia eventually she beckons on the king to come and dine again and again and again and then in the process of the dining she reveals that her man is the trait or the enemy that would want to destroy the Jews and then you know the story he ends up hanging in the same gallows that he created notice in the entire book of Esther there was no record of war with the sword only two instruments were used to both lift people and create a system of defense or no and favor it is not always about fighting with a Marie or no is a women favor disagreement and a new year Scot are here this morning I believe are people who desire higher levels of favor if everyone were to write a request here most of the requests will be favored dependent you are trusting that God will touch the heart of a king in the heart of a noble the heart of someone towards you and I am Telling You this you heard me say it again and again that everybody who blesses you has relatives who are also in need whatever will make him leave them and come to you must be supernatural that a few men saw a man who was crippled and insisted that today you must be healed and they were willing to tear the zinc and take the risk and brought a man down it's not enough to be sincere is not even enough to just be godly there is a graceful fever the proof of favor is not money the proof of favor is the willingness for men to help you if all you have is money you are not saved the real proof of favor is the loyalty of men to your needs and this morning I believe with all my heart that it would take favor to move us from where we are to the next level it will take flavor to see the fulfillment of everything that God has said in my life and in ministry I have seen very gifted people because I have learned by experience that truly the race is not to the Swift and that the battle is not to the strong but wealth is not only are always to them who are wise when God's favor comes upon you it will look unfair but that's just how it works in one day a man's life can change and you will be amazed that that they can be today that a man's life can change did you know that most things we pray for are already on earth but they are in the hands of men whoever was what you need must love you to give you what it will take god my assignment is simple this morning for someone who has been stagnated in one position could be a family could be financially could be spiritually could be in your career your business politics and government let me tell you nothing beats the power of true favor favor and the king sent for Joseph and they brought him out of his dungeon there are times you don't have the influence at the gates you need somebody already at the gates to speak for you you may never have the opportunity to make your demands at the gate you will depend on the favor of those who are the gates my prayer all the time is Lord who are you about to leave may I hold the hands of that machine while we rise it is powerful to discern who is the next person God is about to lift there are people who left people two minutes before they are lifting one day before they are lifting one year before the unlifted may you not be like that all may God surround your life with people he's about to lift because you can be blessed by association the easiest way to be blessed is to relationships God called Abraham alone Lord said I'm not your duel alone and lot went wee wee and lot increased to were not left Abraham he went down to that means it was not anything he did on his own the power of association I come from the north and territorially speaking I've said it again and again that this region has a lot of a lot of what would I call it now a sense of empathy you can have people rally around you to encourage you to rise it is not necessarily so where I come from you can have that that morale that that humane participation but they may not have the wherewithal to lift a man so at that point you need favor exclusively because you can come up from a region where there is no business if I planted whatsoever I am a product of what the favor of God can do and my assignment is that for someone who truly believes maybe maybe the first and the only one even from your family that if you can receive this grace today I tell you the truth in the name of the Lord God of heaven your life will be a mother even to you [Music] [Applause] I've heard a lot of people say but this is unfair better than this person unfortunately life does not work like that it is what is on you that governs what is around you esta obtained favor as that defended the cause of the gospel by preserving the Jews otherwise there would be no Jesus there would be no salvation there would be no redemption a woman not a prophet not a king not a warrior are we ready to pray I don't know how you are going to pray this morning but find a way of crying to say Oh God at such a time as this arise and bring favor to my life bring favor to my career bring favor to my destiny are there people who can pray here [Music] if your voice I pray pray passionately and pray truthfully [Music] I will give this people favor before the incisions and it shall come to pass that when we go he will not go empty emptiness is proof of lack of favor break well for your children if not for yourself pray for your business pray for your career a woman loses Faysal and in 24-hour significance malice never to return again the village girl finds favor and within a short time she fitted with royalty Brad nice wave Oh Oh God in this season thou shall arise and have mercy for the time to save me the time to pray for me if someone brain when church this morning the time to favor me don't say I have an ogre who likes me don't say how the friend who likes me no man can give you what door does not giving hallelujah listen listen listen let me tell you this while it is true that all blessings come to men God must direct them to bless you if God does not place it in the half every man you can watch your needs in the heart of the man there are people who's here it is one signature that can change your life but for decades the Bairro is in his hands but will not sign it takes people it takes more than you desire it takes more than lobbying just because you know a ambience it does not guarantee health he says I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills and it says from wells Cornett my help my help he says comes from the Lord the maker of the heavens on earth some may trust in horses he says and some may trust in Cheerios but we will trust in the name of God I'd like you to pray a prayer and say Lord who is the next destiny help cost them to show up in this season whether they be Lakers name that is above all names I pray I pray who has been anointed in this season to be part of my success who has been anointed by God to be part of my growth must been anointed to add rotate my preservation torch attached my establishment who has been anointed to see the my remaining honor [Music] if someone break this morning [Music] [Music] and our thoughts and our coyote and he'll the gift of man and help and help to my career and help to my ministry [Music] alleluia alleluia I'm rounding up in second Kings don't on their chapter 5 the Bible talks about a man called Naaman he says he was the captain of the Syrian army and the Bible says he was a fair young man but parts excelling in a level but he was leprous and one day one of the captives a young slave girl you must pray for discernment because sometimes your help must don't look like help us until you see what your help does who would have known that the destiny of a warrior was tied in his slave girl she said all that my king would happen to me that you would go down there is a prophet and they sent a letter to the king and the king said oh my god you are looking for trouble Elijah heard about it in his and let none come and know that there is a prophet in Israel when he came he told him go and wash in the Jordan several times it takes humility to receive from destiny help us because sometimes the instructions I equals thinking is that there are many other rivers and Elijah did not see a need to repeat himself and the young slave girl again pleaded with him and said I know this man if he speaks believe him and he went on tricked himself one two three four five six and that man was filled you may have excelled in a level maybe in Korea but is not the best there may be an area and that area that is wanting is where you will meet the favor of God in this season unlikely to pray and say Lord keep me discernment the eyes to see the eyes to see the people who will be used by you to lift me please spray while rounding up this morning what you must pray because by his spirit to help us hallelujah allelujah the body of the son of the Living God Jesus is hanging on that tree no man has the courage to talk to Caesar to release that body because there are times that it takes influence for your voice to be amplified and nobody none of the disciples they had the desire but not the influence and then a man of influence called Joseph of Arimathaea when to meet the king and say I demand let me tell you not every voice can open your door influence is powerful is it alright if you cry that God will send one man of to influence into your life in this season please lift your voice on don't reject influence don't write it you will find it to your burial Sandman of it trends record to my life and to my destiny send a man to my destiny that has the credibility that has the leverage that has the voice who asserted my lifting send the Joseph of Arimathea to my life hallelujah final scripture the Bible talks to us about a very strange man in the Bible called lefse have you read about such a man and the Bible says that at his birth the Midwife made a mistake it was not his fault but as a result of another man's mistake someone is suffering there are times that were in positions that had nothing to do with you but in any case you are now a victim of that situation is there a system where God can build such men out the Bible says that one time that David looks at this man enforcing love with him he says is there any man in the house of soul that I may show him kindness where there not other people then they carry you with anchor do they carry a with man to the king do you know that deformities and imperfections are not allowed within the palace historically and he said this man you will not only dine with me once I told you favorite roast won't happen just once is this from today this will be your place you will stay here [Music] apostle is not my fault how I came is not my fault they the issue I'm eating now I didn't know anything about it I was just walking in a bank and they said some money was missing and all of us about to leave I know it's not your fault but then the system requires that you also be punished unless favor bills you out [Music] can we pray Lord I may not have the strength on my own but please make someone like me enough to our rise for being this season please lift your voice on you will be surprised at the testimonies that arise for this someone must be interested in your life and your situation enough [Music] hallelujah hallelujah let's listen while standing let me just tell you three ways to activate favor in your life number one is by sowing seeds of honor you activate favor by suing honor you are not entitled to flavor from anybody you detest reject or trivialize you must have the humility to show honor is proof of wisdom can you are tapped to the complexity of men so that you can receive the blessing that comes with them Oh No number two you can pray three for provoking prayers like we've been doing you can actually pray your way into a realm of favor number three the third way to activate fever is by receiving what I call the esta anointing there is a grace that comes under to prophesy one scripture and I pray for you and I'm on my seat Ezra chapter six and verse 14 please never forget this scripture the scripture the Lord showed me and it changed my life please read with me if you're a Christian is projected the same time one to read and the elders of the Jews builded uh-huh and they prospered through the prophesy of haggai the prophet zechariah the son of a doe and they builded and finished it stop there is one thing to build is another thing to prosper is another thing to finish they prosper to the prophesy of two strange prophets haggai the prophet zechariah the son of a doe prophecies powerful it says umpire prophets the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet where they preserved it says believe in the Lord your God you see unbelievers notice they do everything they have to do and they know there must be a spiritual advantage and so they will resort to dark powers to tap up everything if all your effort ends in this three dimensional realm you will be frustrated there is a dimension of the prophetic that must supply stability to your life it is true every time there was chaos and disarray the prophetic game speak to the dry bones speak to the dead speak to it I want to pray one minute and please I want you to believe there is nothing a man concept it is given to him from God which standards ministers privilege t words of the mysteries of the kingdom but let me admit to you with all humility that when God gives you something you have it it doesn't matter whether when you have it you have it if you do not have it you do not have it you know you have it by the results that show father in the name of Jesus Christ who is the son of the Living God I stand here this morning in the presence of mighty servants of God in the presence of captains of industry in the presence of political veterans in the presence of men and women who have tasted of your grace and I stand by the privilege of your grace according to the measure of grace you have supplied I speak to everyone under the sound of my voice rise to a new level of resource rise to a new level of results i prophesy in the name of Jesus I joined my faith with the faith of our father the overseer of this great ministry and I declare to someone here let today be the season of your rising for someone tell that to tell me the season of your restoration so someone they are led to may be the season of your lifting in the name of Jesus I declare any door that has refused to open I stand by the power of prophecy and in the name of Jesus I speak to that door every time we open now we open now we open now and the book of remembrance was brought before King Ahaz arose and when that was offered is that modern ideas are not what reward us be given listen there are some of the working people and they have forgotten you I stand by the grace of God this morning and I command remembrance on your issue I declare remembrance of our issue in the mighty name of Jesus when trust has interpreted the dream of the winepress er he pleaded with him when you go but don't forget me and he forgot him for two years it takes God to make those who have helped to remember you I pray for you whatever has made them to forget you in this season in this season may God trust them to remember you [Music] please yeah me too you know that mother kind according to scripture consulted with dark powers and define us to know the exact dates to kill the Jews he didn't just write anything please believe me that there are arrows that fly by day and there is the noise of pestilence that destruction that wasteth at noonday that an amended rise just when you place it is calling you come down Zechariah chapter one when you read verse 18 is that what she as now and it says for Hollis he said these are the horns that have lifted up themselves against Jerusalem a hill Cheeta so that no man will lift up his head is that what I have sent for cabbages I have come this morning as a privileged carpenter that any power sitting on anyone's destiny in the name of the God of heaven the god of Iran I command that they live your destiny now [Music] I declare finally first for our mothers and the women in this church and then for the members in this church and then for all our guests and our visitors that in the name of Jesus whatever represents an expectation because of activity today we may not have the time to minister and prophesy to people individually and I apologize we have to honor the time and allow other activities happened but I agree in the name of Jesus that everything that has represented your request if it brought tears from your eyes then you must cry again for joy if it ever brought tears of sorrow then I declare you will cry again but this time for joy in the name of Jesus Christ [Music] father we give you all the praise in the name of Jesus Christ let it be done we establish it and we declare that the favor that is upon our lives now will shift us and the testimonies will prove that we received something this morning in the name of Jesus give Jesus appeal [Music] [Applause] [Music]
