Quote from the audio series, Spiritual Conflict. In the book of Esther you’ll find when judgment hung over the Jewish people, the whole nation was to be exterminated, Mordecai went out into the middle of the city and put on sackcloth. And had no access to the king. Esther put on her royal garments and went right in to the king and changed the situation. And there are times when you can put on sackcloth as long as you like, but one of the laws of the kingdom is, you can’t enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth. But if you’ll realize that you are a queen, put on your beautiful garments and walk in with authority, the golden scepter will be held out to you and the king will say—“What can I do for you?” And because God is delighted when—without evidence or circumstances or symptoms or anything in the situation—we believe it. “You’re My partner; I want you to share My throne; tell Me what I can do for you.” That delights the heart of God. After all, as parents, we fully realize this. We do not want slavish, cowering obedience from our children. There’s nothing more grieving to a parent’s heart than that. What we want is for them to believe in our goodness, believe in our ability and believe in our faithfulness. And God wants the same.
