Session 8 - Fill Ins

God can't turn a table that was never set against you.

The Jews weren't just delivered, they were empowered.

The power wasn't just Mordeai's. It was all of theirs.

Every time you're in a tight fist of fear, remember you're in something much tighter. Isaiah 49:16 says, "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."

God always has the upper hand. Exchange the burden for a weapon. "However, The Lord your God . . . turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you."

"Implies an ardent and vehement inclination of the mind and a tenderness of affection at the same time."

"Ephraim is a flat cake not turned over."


In a mean world, New Testament believers are called to a good fight.

...you may fight the good fight holding on to faith and a good concience.

"When, because of your faith, your life too becomes perceptibly different; when your reactions are quite opposite to what the situation seems to call for and your activities can no longer be explained in terms of your personality; that is when your neighborhood will sit up and take notice. In the eyes of the world, it is not our relationship with Jesus Christ that counts; it is our resemblance to Him!"
