Queen Esther: Lesson Six

Fast before you face the throne.

Esther did not rush in. She called the Jews to fast three days, and she fasted too. Then she said it plainly: if I perish, I perish.

Esther 4:16 (KJV): Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Jesus said some things do not go out but by prayer and fasting.

Matthew 17:21 (KJV): Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
