THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION KING XERXES MORDECAI THE JEW ESTHER THE NEW QUEEN HAMAN THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther 4:13-14 THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish." Esther 4:15-16 THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION FROM SELFISH AMBITION TO SELFLESS MISSION THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man." Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 16:23-25 THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION

THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 THE QUEEN’S CONVERSION
