Prophetess Queen Esther Phillips's Blog (12)

Our heavenly Father, how great, awesome and powerful You are! We honor and reverence Your holiness, and confess that we can only come to You through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. We thank you for His blood and that we have access to Your throne of grace through faith in Christ.

Father, today I come to You on behalf of fathers everywhere. As the celebration of fatherhood approaches, let us be mindful of the role fathers play in the lives of… Continue

Remember Geraldine, a character played by Flip Wilson? When Geraldine did something that was wrong or mischievous, which was 99.5% of the time, her famous line was, “The devil made me do it!” Basically, it was an excuse to justify what she knew was the wrong thing to do.



That same line has been used ever since it was introduced. Only now, I think most people really believe it, especially Christians. Christians are blaming the devil a lot these days. When I really focused and… Continue

And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” -Luke 17:5



For a long time now I’ve heard people asking (including me) for more faith, “Lord, increase my faith.” On the other hand, people warned to be careful what you ask for. If you ask God to increase your faith He’ll create experiences that would require more. However, in taking a closer look at Jesus’ response to the disciples request for more faith, and asking for revelation, a profound truth was… Continue

Opposition could be considered part of a packaged deal when committing to kingdom building for God. Knowing this up front can help prepare for the challenges you will face in your assignment.



Unfortunately, many leaders are unaware of this truth; they take on building projects like assembling a doll house using “easy to read” instructions and having numbered pieces to ensure accurate assembly. But even with simple instructions, some tasks are more difficult without essential tools… Continue

Very few mornings do I get a chance to watch Good Morning America, so if there’s anything I’d like to watch later, I set my DVR. On the morning of March 4, I watched a portion of a report entitled, “Confidence Crisis: How does America get it back.” Although I didn’t think it interesting enough to record, I do feel it important enough to express my views based on my personal beliefs.



For many Americans the recession has them wondering what it takes to survive this crisis. Frankly, the… Continue

Some time ago I read an article in the Houston Chronicle, “When Couples Share the Pulpit” (Husband & wife clergy team sharing the ministry): In an interview with the reporter, they discussed how they shared the counseling appointments, how they shared the Christian education duties; yes, they even shared in the preaching. And one of the wives said, “What we offer a church together is more than we could offer separately.” My focus isn’t on the controversial topic of women pastors, or women… Continue

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." —Luke 2:14



"If you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Try to live in peace even if you must run after it to catch and hold it."

—I Peter 3;10, 11





There comes a time when every individual should personally assess the meaningfulness of life. An assessment of this magnitude requires one to… Continue

“And this will be a sign for you [by which you will recognize Him]: you will find [after searching] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

“..the shepherds said one to another, Let us go…and see this thing (saying) that has come to pass… So they went with haste and [by searching] found Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in a manger”

(Luke 2:12-15, Amplified).





The countdown of shopping days before December 25 officially began the day after… Continue

Recently, I have been deeply burdened, and even angered by the division in the body of Christ. Unfortunately, I was more focused on what we were not rather than what we are becoming. After all, He that has begun a good work in us will continue to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in us (ref. Philippians 1:6).



Then, one day I was reading John 17 (the prayer of… Continue

“Why do the nations assemble with commotion [uproar and confusion of voices], and why do the people imagine (meditate upon and devise) an empty scheme? —Psalm 2:1 (Amplified)





This same question can be asked today because “mainstream” society (new term for the ‘world’) with its kings and rulers are plotting against the Kingdom of God (the rule of God- His way of doing things). Basically, they oppose the laws of God, and mock biblical principles that command a lifestyle of… Continue

“Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.”

—Philippians 4:9 Amplified





What if someone asked the following survey questions regarding leadership in your local congregation: “Who is your model church leader? “What have you learned, received, heard, and seen in your church leaders that you could practice so that the God of… Continue

Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying, “Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight… Acts 24:1-2



As ministers and messengers of Jesus Christ we must not be alarmed by false accusations designed to discredit our ministry and pervert the proclamation of… Continue
