My Banquet Escort

“He escorts me to the banquet hall; it is obvious how much He loves me.” Songs 2:4

Dear Heavenly Father, as You know, the Deeper Still Fundraising Banquet is a week away.  Father, we thank You that You escort us to the banquet hall.   This banquet is Yours, to honor You.  We ask for Your loving presence to be conspicuous and for Your anointing to be palpable at the banquet.  We ask for your hand of protection over all attending.   We pray for everyone who should to be present to come so they can hear the message of freedom, and that the financial goals would be met and exceeded to further that message.   We pray that it would be obvious to every guest how much You love them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

There is a banquet that occurred 465 years before Christ.  In this banquet, a very brave young woman named Esther asked for her life and the lives of her people to be spared.  Her entire race was sold and scheduled to be annihilated (Ester 6:4).  She boldly went before her king's throne and found favor that eventually led to the saving of her people.

“And on the second day, at the banquet, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther?  It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done.”  Esther 6:2

Esther, no doubt, had an unseen Escort into that banquet long long ago who revealed His love for her and His people time and time again.

His presence at the banquet gave her strength to valiantly make her petition. 

A worldly king was eager to grant the petition of his bride.  How much more will our Heavenly King grant the petitions of His bride, especially when it comes to the saving of His people and rescuing them from captivity.  Our King is eagerly awaiting our petitions.
 
 Our Heavenly King is asking us today, “What is your petition?”
 
“Oh King, we ask for our people, Your people, to be set free. “
   
Thank you for petitioning on behalf of Deeper Still.
