When you have a problem in your life, when you have a crisis in your life, look beyond the

problem and expect your God to help you solve it. We are people of faith. We are not people of

desperation. We are not people of doubt. We are not people of desperation. We are not people of doubt.

We are not people of fear. We are people of faith. The book of Esther tells a story of people in

crisis. If you are in crisis, you've come to the right place. Hello and welcome to another great

day here on Destin for Victory, where we feature the preaching

ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard. Whether you're listening on radio, online, or through the Destin

for Victory mobile app, thanks so much for making this part of your day. Well, at first glance,

the story of Esther and Mordecai may not seem relevant or helpful, but a close inspection reveals

this to be far more than a history lesson.

It's a right now lesson, one that can help us during times of crisis.

Remember, come see us at Pastor Paul.net to hear any recent Destin for Victory

who have already been in a lifestyle of prayer.
