The Book of Esther
The Hidden Hand of God
God Standing in the Shadows 
“… if I perish, I perish.” Est 4:16b
The book of Esther never mentions the name of God, but His hand is seen in everything that takes place in the story. The theme is easily understood as that of the providence of God. Esther is a story that illustrates the truth of this priceless doctrine. Providence has been called “the hand of God in the glove of history.” It is the heavenly Father watching over and caring for His people.
This conference was held in Western Pennsylvania October 10–12, 2014.

The Hidden Hand of Providence?A Study in the Book of Esther — PA Conference 2014

Elijah #8

Daniel had a faithful, devoted and disciplined life (Dan 9:1-19); his prayers were based on the word of God. Daniel confessed the sins of Israel as if he was complicit. Prayer demands separation and isolation (1Ki 18:41-46, Mat 6:6). Prayer in faith expects answers. Prayer in power perseveres; Elijah prayed 7 times (1Th 5:17, Luk 18:1). Prayer is the exercise that develops spiritual muscle in the Christian life (Mat 26:41, Isa 40:31). Prevailing prayer includes suitable action; Elijah "girds up" and we need to as well (1Pe 1:13, Eph 6:14, Heb 12:1). Prevailing prayer empowers one spiritually (1Ki 18:46). Prayer appropriates Gods power for whatever is required (Act 4:29-31). Prayer is a Grace provision and gift. Through prayer we have access to the throne room of the Omnipotence of God (Rom 5:1-2).

Scripture References: Acts 4:29-31, Daniel 9:1-19, Hebrews 12:1, Ephesians 6:14, Isaiah 40:31, Matthew 26:41, Luke 18:1, Romans 5:1-2, Matthew 6:6

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
