Some Paid to Persecute ~ Others Prayed to Prosper

"Then Haman said to King Xerxes, 'There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them. If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will give ten thousand talents (375 metric tons) of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.'” (Esther 3:8-9)

The "certain people" were Jews who believed in God and lived according to His Word, which by the way, led them to be hard working and law-abiding citizens.

I wonder if someone is paying government officials to not tolerate Christians and that is why so many laws and judgments are coming forth against us.

In the Book of Esther, God's people fasted and prayed for three days and God turned the tables on those who sought to destroy them.

"Father God, please help government leaders to recognize who is their nation's enemies, who is their nation's patriots, in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen."
