LADIES WHO PETITION THE KING

By Dr. Phil Spears

“If I perish, I perish.” – Esther 4:16

There is a stirring in the Spirit. Heaven is watching, waiting — and the King is seated on the throne. But something is shifting in the courts of Heaven, and it’s not just the voice of prophets or preachers that’s being heard. It’s the sound of women — bold, burdened, burning — who are stepping into the throne room with petitions that shake nations.

This is not a season for silent suffering. This is the hour of the ladies who petition the King.

THE SPIRIT OF ESTHER IS RISING

We are living in days that mirror the book of Esther. A hidden war is being waged — not just in politics, not just in culture, but in the spirit realm. There are decrees that have been written in darkness, aimed at the destruction of God’s people, families, and destinies.

But in the midst of the threat, Heaven is raising up Esthers — women who have been positioned through pain, refined in obscurity, and prepared through fire. These women may not hold microphones, but they hold mantles. They may not stand on stages, but they stand in the courts of the King.

Esther did not just win a beauty contest. She was sent on divine assignment. And when the time came, she did not remain silent.

PETITIONS THAT SHAKE THE HEAVENS

To petition the King is no small thing. In biblical times, to enter uninvited into the king’s court was to risk your life. But there is a generation of women now who are willing to say, “If I perish, I perish”. Not because they are reckless, but because they are relentless.

They are done with lukewarm prayers and safe religion. These women are petitioning for prodigals, for marriages, for justice, for revival. Their prayers are not rehearsed; they are raw. Their intercession is not polished; it is prophetic.

When ladies who know the King begin to petition, principalities tremble. Because they are not appealing to man — they are appealing to He who rules the heavens.

THE KING EXTENDS HIS SCEPTER

Here is the prophetic word for today:

The scepter is being extended. The King is listening. The verdict is shifting.

The Lord is honoring bold intercession in this hour. Women who have wept in secret are about to see public breakthrough. The bowls of incense — the prayers of the saints — are tipping. Justice is being released. Healing is being accelerated. What was delayed will now be delivered.

The King is not distant. He is not silent. He is ready to rule in favor of His daughters who dare to petition Him with faith.

FROM PETITION TO DECREE

Esther didn’t stop at prayer — she released strategy. She used her voice. She exposed the enemy. She rewrote the narrative. And in the end, the decree of death was overturned.

The Lord is saying: This is not just the hour of petition. It is the hour of decree. As you petition the King, He will put His words in your mouth. You will not just beg for mercy — you will release royal verdicts. You will declare what Heaven declares. You will see kingdoms shift.

ARISE, DAUGHTERS OF ZION

To every woman reading this: You were born for such a time as this. You are not too late. You are not too broken. You are not too quiet. You have access to the King. And He’s waiting.

So come boldly. Come burning. Come believing.

You are not just a woman with a burden. You are a daughter with authority. The King is seated. The scepter is extended. The time is now.

Petition Him — and watch what Heaven does next.
