  • Not knowing that his new wife Esther was a Jew, King Ahasuerus of Persia approved a decree that all persons of Jewish descent should be killed. Showing great faith, Esther entered the king's court without an invitation to plead for her people. Read about her experience in Esther 1-4: bit.ly/f2QQdl.

    My mother and brother are in crisis. My brother is homeless in Boston, where winter is harsh. Just last night my sister and I were discussing Esther and their 3 day fast. Today this video came to my phone via a notification! It's pretty clear God wants me to fast for 3 days for my family.
    Please pray for my homeless brother MG that he will find safe and permanent housing asap. Please pray for my 80 year-old mother Olivia, that this burden may be lifted from her shoulders.
    I keep their names on the temple prayer roll.

      Sorry I just saw this comment, I hope he is doing better, I recently got back from Utah to Mississippi where I'm from and where I first joined the church, while I was in Utah I discovered many things some about the church and some not, one thing I learned is that most large cities like Boston have extensive shelters set up for homeless with employment services and clothing available, also the salvation army is good about purchasing bus tickets for those who have family in other cities all they have to do is speak to them over the phone and hear they have a place to stay once they reach there. Hope everything is going well and if not I hope it gets better, I was 6 months homeless while in Utah then came back to MS in Nov and was still homeless but finally found employment and then was able to move back to my home city and into a home in the last week of May

      Our life lessons and experiences are needed by the Lord to help others on the earth to find Him. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was not always a member I was raised in a different faith. I have asked God myself and I have received my answer He has established His church again on the earth to prepare for His return. The doctrines of the church are based on Love and Truth and answers do come from God to ALL who have a desire to come to Him. He LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN and that is why he has brought his church. He is helping us everyday in so many ways to get ready. There is so much help from Him. If you do not feel it and want to know more about His restored church go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints websites and study it out. I did

    Esther is always mentioned as a great example of integrity and courage. When I read the book of Esther, it didn't seem so miraculous that she went to the king and said "Hey, stop."
    This video helped me understand just how grave the situation really was. Thank you for illustrating more fully how Esther did in fact have a lot of courage.

They put down everybody who a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and the prosecute the prophets and they mock our Father in Heaven and the Saviour and they hate us all. But since the church is growing and getting stronger they are losing and God is only getting more powerful day by day and since He's getting stronger so is His Son The Messiah. They should cower at Their name's and voices but they laugh and scorn us and Them. Let's keep on keeping on.

I believe you will be answered. I wish you all the best. I know the book is true. I know Joseph Smith was his true Prophet. I know this is his true church just as I know he loves us one and all.

      This is a Mormon channel, mormans are not Christians. They have different beliefs, they believe in adding to the gospel with good works saves them. They believe in a different Jesus who is the brother of satan, they believe in many gods and that they can become gods. They believe everyone will go to heaven or at least one of the levels of heaven. Look into their beliefs just because they say they follow Jesus and the Bible doesn’t mean anything, they have a lot of false beliefs that contradict the Bible. They follow a false prophet Joseph smith who was a Pedophile, a polygamist and a liar and a false book, the Book of Mormon. They believe the Bible is for the Jewish people and the Book of Mormon are doctrines given to prophets in America for Americans. They are not Christians
