There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history, that pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.Esther was such a "hinge of history" woman. Born an orphan Jew in pagan Persia, without father and mother, adopted by Mordecai, taken because of her beauty into an evil king's harem, appointed by the unseen dancing hand of Providence into a queenly place of authority, and, in a three-day fast and one do-or-die decision, saved her people from destruction.Lou Engle is calling for a million Esthers and Mordecais to gather at The Mall in Washington D.C. on October 12, 2024--the Day of Atonement-

Summary: John Ruttkay (best friend of Lonnie Frisbee) never imagined being part of a church much less part of what became the Jesus Movement. He was questioning, “Who is God?” when someone approached him and said, “It's Jesus Christ. That's who you're looking for.” It was then his life was radically changed! Looking at the move of God today, John says, “This groundswell is looking just like when we got touched by the Lord.” Join John and host Doug Stringer as they share stories about God moving during the Jesus Movement, discuss 5 things that marked believers during that time and compare it to what God is doing today.

I want to attract God's presence! I bet you do too. The Bible says we should worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Ps. 96:9), which is the glory due His name (Ps. 29:2).

What are we doing, as the Bride of Christ, to be prepare our hearts and create an atmosphere attractive to His presence? Doug shares four characteristics that he looks for in his own life.

Summary: We are in a critical time in history, and our only hope is to see revival and awakening. The Church and believers everywhere must come to God with a united cry to see Him move on our behalf.

Summary: Righteousness is like a shield of protection, and those with integrity are guarded against judgment.  Scripture tells us that judgment begins in the house of the Lord. And that time has come.

Summary: This time of year, many of us reflect on our lives, taking an honest assessment of the ways we have overcome challenges and examining our shortcomings. I've heard it said, “Yesterday's sorrows can be today's successes if the hand of the Lord is upon us.” Reflecting on the past without perspective often leaves us with regrets. Regrets: We all have them. I know I do. Like the list of things I wish I had done or not done. We can't change our past, but the choices we make each day define our future. Every experience can become a life lesson, that becomes a part of our life message. We can't let past regrets keep us from being a blessing to others in the present and the future.  Remember, you cannot change the past, but the decisions you make today, define your future. A life that is truly surrendered to Him is no longer without hope. We possess the life of Christ in our hearts, and that spiritual force offers to lead us through every situation in this earthly life. His life brings salvation, healing, and deliverance to all who are surrendered to Him.   Click here for SHOW NOTES.

Summary: Our nation is at a critical juncture on many fronts. Regardless of our political, philosophical, religious or ideological beliefs, the reality is, our foundations and freedoms are under attack.

These rights are not just for those we align ourselves with, but also for those we may strongly disagree with. Listen as Doug Stringer explains how a Church united in righteousness and compassion can bring healing and hope to our divided nation. It is time for the Samuels and Esthers and Deborahs to rise up and push forward to see our nation turned around!  Share this message with a friend and subscribe for weekly encouragement and inspiration!
