It's Time for a Knee Party.

If you were Queen Esther or the prophet Daniel, what would you do to help heal the state of America?

Like me, you can probably think of a gazillion things you'd like to do.

But what is the most important step?


Well...

You may never be Queen of a nation like Esther, you may never be asked to put your life on the line. but as a child of God, you have been chosen by the King of Kings.

You may never be a prophet such as Daniel, you may never be asked to advise a king, but you, as joint heirs with Christ, serve the Sovereign Lord of the universe.


You were placed here for such a time as this.

What will you do?

Perhaps the best place to start is by following the examples of the Esthers and Daniels who came before you. It's time to seek the wisdom of God. The wisdom of the ages.

It's time to bend a knee before the Lord and pray.



"If my people who are call by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

When your character walks off the page?




The day before he was just a character in your novel. Then suddenly, it's as if the pages of your book have come to life and he walks right off the written page and into your world.
He's standing right in front of you as real as the breath you take.
What do you do? Do you chase him down? Do you stop and catch your breath?
Do you call out his name?
Share some of things you've done after you saw your character come to life.
If you're not a writer, how did you feel when you saw someone that looked just like your dream walking?
