Union with אלוהים
Love is as strong as death;
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
Love’s flames are vehement flames of fire,
the very flame of Yah.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
Intimacy with a Holy God
One woman’s journey of walking with a kind God Who burns with ardent flames of love.
Queen Esther’s Way With the King
Reading time 1.5 to 2 minutes
Three days remain until our holiday Purim—when the lot was turned, and the hidden hand of God saved His people.
Three days before Queen Esther crossed the threshold of the Persian King Ahasuerus, she called for a fast. Today, on the anniversary of Esther‘s call, with sober hearts in light of the war with Iran (Persia), we enter three days of prayer and fasting for the salvation of our people Israel.
Before Queen Esther makes her requests known, she pours forth loving-kindness. She leads us in the way of beauty and love to honor our King. In the beauty of holiness, we worship the LORD:
Yehovah, You are holy, oh LORD God, Almighty, the Alpha, and the Omega, Who was, Who is, and Who is to come. Yeshua, You love us, and wash us from our sins in Your own blood. Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain! Glory, honor, power and might belong to You! Oh how we love You, LORD! My Beloved, fiery in love and dazzling in holiness. Your head is like the finest gold, filled with wisdom and understanding. We trust Your leadership, and we will not be afraid.

Three days before Queen Esther crossed the threshold of King Ahasuerus in Persia, she called for a fast. Today, on the anniversary of Queen Esther’s call, with sober hearts in light of the war with Iran (Persia) beginning, we, like Esther, enter three days of prayer and fasting for the salvation of our people Israel.

My Beloved, fiery in love and dazzling in holiness. Your head is like the finest gold, filled with wisdom and understanding. We trust Your leadership, and we will not be afraid. Your gentle, peaceful eyes are like doves, steadily looking upon the ones You love. Your words to us are most sweet. You are altogether lovely, my Beloved, my Friend.
Like Esther, we draw near in love before we speak our plea: “If I have found favor in Your sight, O King… let my life be given me—and my people at my request.” Esther 7:3
With the cry of intercession we lift our voices:
Abba, let Your Kingdom come in Israel and in Iran, as it is in Heaven. Save Israel. Liberate the Persian people. Grant our leaders wisdom and revelation. Protect and direct our pilots and all our soldiers.
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness. As the armies of Israel and the USA stand their posts, we, too, will stand at ours by not being silent before the courts of Heaven.
We intercede for salvation, for liberation of the Persian people, and for protection of Israel.
Our help comes from You Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Keeper of Israel, You neither slumber nor sleep. Watch over Your people, the apple of Your eye. LORD, You will keep us from all evil and keep our lives.(based on Psalm 121)
Beloved Shepherd of Israel, arise and cause Your face to shine. Let peace dwell within our walls of Jerusalem and throughout all Israel. ❤️🙏🏻
