Be Careful What Advice You Give To Others

Esther 5:14, “Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.  And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.”

Esther 9:25, “But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.”

I love the true story of Esther in the Old Testament. You can hear Alexander Scourby read the entire book of Esther in just 30 minutes! Although "God" is not mentioned even once in all ten chapters of Esther, we see the hand of God working throughout the book of Esther. We learn a great truth then, that when we cannot see the great HAND of our God, we should trust the great HEART of our God. If you have never watched the movie of Esther, it is wonderful. You can watch it now for FREE on YouTube.

Esther

The story of Esther is amazing!

As the story is told, we read that Haman was a bigshot in the Medo-Persian kingdom. When Haman passed by all the townspeople bowed in reverence to him, making obeisance (worship). But there was a Christian man named Mordecai, a Jew, who refused to bow to any man! Amen and amen! It is wicked when Catholics bow in reverence to their priests and the Pope (Matthew 23:9). Every time Haman passed by and saw that Mordecai refused to bow down to him, it burned him up inside. The matter festered like cancer in Haman's proud soul.

So, wicked Haman went home whining like a big baby because Mordecai refused to bow down before him. Like so many foolish women today, Haman's wicked wife suggested that Haman build a gallows 50 cubits (75 feet) high to hang Mordecai on. Oh my, what a foolish woman! Little did she know that her hateful words would come back to haunt her for the rest of her life. When Haman's ungodly plot to kill innocent Haman was exposed, his malicious plan backfired upon him and his family. Consequently, Haman and his ten sons were all hanged upon the 75 foot gallows that Haman's evil wife had told him to do. Talk about poetic justice!

Haman's foolish wife didn't think in a thousand years, that her evil words that evening at home to her husband would result in seeing all ten of her sons hanging lifeless 75 feet in the air by their necks. Do you know why she wanted the gallows built 75 feet high? It was so that the whole city could see what happens to anyone who refuses to bow to her husband, Haman. Talk about family pride! To appease her wicked husband's pride, she wanted him to make an example of innocent Mordecai, by hanging his dead body 75 feet in the air for all to see. Instead, the dead bodies of her husband and their ten sons were all displayed 75 feet in the air for the whole city and visiting travelers to see. What goes around comes around! Proverbs 26:27, “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.” Oh, you had better be careful what advice you give to others, especially your own family, because your words might come back to forever haunt you!

Ungodly feminist women (churches are full of them today) in particular are eager to give other women malicious advice to hurt their boyfriend or husband. Watch out! You'd better think twice, because you may live to regret your words and actions. Just like the snake (Satan) in Genesis who destroyed Eve's life, people are often no better than the serpent in the Garden of Eden. And then after they give you destructive advice to ruin your marriage and family, they are never heard from again, just like the disgusting serpent in Genesis chapter 3.

Please kindly tell meddling people to shut up! Get thee behind me, Satan! Many pastor's wives are devils, who will ruin your marriage if you are stupid enough to listen to their toxic feminist advice at a difficult time in your marriage. America's pastors and pastor's wives today are often public enemy number one! Nobody cares about your family any more than you do. Anybody who advises you to file for divorce, or subtly leads you in that direction, has been inspired by demons.

I hope you will read the book of Esther and let this truth sink in dear reader. Haman's wife was an idiot, really. Esther 5:14, “Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.  And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.” It wasn't just Mrs. Haman, it was also his so-called “friends.” With lousy friends like that Haman didn't need any enemies!

I titled this article, “Be Careful What Advice You Give To Others.” But I could have equally titled it, “Be Careful What Advice You Take From Others.” Haman was a darn fool to take such horrible advice from his wife and friends. You see, those friends weren't the one's who would suffer the consequences of Haman's actions. It is easy for some wicked female Bible college staff member to advise a female student to call the police on her husband, because that staff member doesn't have to suffer the consequences that follow. That dumbass staff member has zero liability, but she is helping to ruin a marriage. I saw it happen. You are a FOOL if you ever call the police on your spouse, because the police couldn't care less about shooting people. Many a wives and mothers have rued the day that they ever called the cops on a loved one. I am thinking about a mother who wept bitterly when the police killed her teenage son. He was high on drugs in the backyard. She called the police, thinking it was the best thing to do. The police are trained to kill, kill, kill. You've got to be smarter than the average bear folks.

Please be careful what advice you take from people, including a pastor. I thank God that I didn't take the advice of dozens of dangerous doctors throughout my life, who likely would have killed me with experiential drugs and procedures. One crazy doctor (a neurologist on Guam) wanted to inject Botox into my neck to treat my pain. As I always do, I told him that I needed to go home and think about it. I read online that the U.S. FDA has issued warnings against taking Botox injections. I immediately decided not to take the injections. The FDA warned that you could develop permanent irreversible damage in non-related parts of your body, from where the injection was done. My quack doctor never told me any of that. I believe that everything I have shared with you so far in this blog falls under my favorite Bible verse from Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

May we all be very careful what advice we give and take from others, because it could adversely affect or destroy somebody's life.
