She was named by her grandma, the late Georgia Frink Singleton, who was an influential person in Esther’s life. She believes her first recognition and belief in God came from her grandma Georgia. Esther witnessed her praying for a blind woman, and after praying, the woman was miraculously healed.
As a child, Esther was very small and sickly. She had pneumonia twice and had problems with developmental skills. But had it not been for the great grace and mercy of God, Esther believes she would not have written this book. She is grateful for the fervent prayers, faith, love, and support given by her loving parents and family.
In 1955, Esther’s family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland. Her father was employed as a contractor and brick mason. He helped build the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel.
Esther’s mom was a stay-at-home mom. She was a good mom, always showing love and compassion for her family and others. She was a great cook. Life was good!
In 1956, Esther received an invitation to receive Christ. She received Christ while in her home by a visiting cousin from Washington DC. Esther was told how much Jesus loved her and how He gave His life for her. She repeated the Sinner’s Prayer and received Christ in her heart that day. Oh, what joy filled her heart! Esther was overwhelmed with the joy and the presence of the Lord.
The day after her conversion, Esther shared her joy with her classmates. It was the perfect day to share her faith because it was show-and-tell day. God gave Esther a passion and love for others to come to Christ. However, she is not perfect and realizes that without Him, she can do nothing. But with Him, she can do all things according to His will and purpose for her life.
Today she still serves the Lord, magnifying His holy name. She is not ashamed to tell others about Jesus. Esther is grateful for her salvation and loves the Lord fervently and devotedly.
Esther strongly believes in the power of the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. She continues to share John 3:16 (KJV), the most powerful scripture in the Bible: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
In 1957, The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel was completed. Esther remembers the joy and excitement when her father drove the family through the tunnel. It was beautiful. And there were many questions, like how was it built underwater? The family was blessed to see the finished job of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, and Esther was grateful to God that He chose her father to be part of Baltimore’s history.
As a teenager, Esther and her family joined Mount Calvary Pentecostal Faith Church in Baltimore. There, Esther met the love of her life, Hudson Hart III. One day while praying, God said to Esther, “Hudson will be your husband.” They have been happily married for forty-seven years. They are the proud parents of one son, Jonathan, whom they love very dearly, and are godparents to many other children.
Esther is a college graduate. She attends the Saint Phillips Baptist Church of Woodlawn, Maryland. There she serves as a Deaconess, Missionary, and Prayer Warrior, as well as being involved with the Pastor’s Aide Ministry under the leadership of Reverend Matthew Riley Jr., pastor, and first lady Elizabeth Riley.
Esther is blessed to be a part of a wonderful Bible-believing and Bible-teaching church family. She is still learning and growing in the Word of God. Esther is grateful to have a sincere pastor who teaches the Word of God and shows love and passion for God’s people. Pastor Riley is a true man of God and lives the life and Word he teaches.
For years, Esther experienced a very dark place in her life. She often felt oppressed by the enemy. It was a spiritual battle, a struggle with the darkness and wickedness of this world. She felt trapped in a prison.
How did she get there? How could she escape? She didn’t want to be there. Esther, a born-again Christian, felt hopeless and alone, asking God, “Where are You?” The faithfulness of the Lord, reassured Esther that He was there all the time, and He will never leave or forsake her. He loves her with an everlasting love, and nothing could ever change His great grace and mercy!
Esther experienced divine deliverance from the Lord. She now shares her voice with others who, like Esther, may be experiencing darkness, being oppressed by the enemy, and are struggling to be free. And in Spiritual Awakening to Divine Deliverance, she now shares those experiences with you.
Esther encourages you to cast all your cares and burdens on the Lord because He cares about you. He loves you with an everlasting love. Allow Jesus to bring you out of darkness into His marvelous light. In Jesus’s name, Amen!lihat lebih sedikit
