First Comes Love

👑The Esther Posture WIFE Retreat.
Mission: To develop wives who carry influence, wisdom, and submission like Esther positioned for such a time as this within their marriages and families.

There comes a moment when God calls you out of hiding…
Not because you’re ready in your own strength.
But because you’ve been prepared in His presence.

This is that moment.

The Esther Posture Retreat is not just another gathering.
It’s a call to women who know they are carrying more, but need clarity, healing, and positioning to walk it out.

This retreat focuses on:

🔥 Consecration. Letting God deal with what’s beneath the surface.
👑 Identity. Becoming secure in who God says you are.
🙏🏽 Intimacy. Learning how to move only with His voice.
⚔️ Courage. Saying yes even when it costs you.
🧭 Strategy. Moving with divine timing and wisdom.
🌍 Influence. Using your voice for Kingdom impact.
✨ Legacy. Breaking cycles and shifting generations.

This is for the WIFE who feels:
* “There’s more in me…”
* “God is calling me higher…”
* “I can’t stay where I am…”

“And who knows if you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

You won’t leave the same.
You’ll leave:
✔️ Clear
✔️ Aligned
✔️ Strengthened
✔️ Positioned

🌺BONUS: LIVE WORSHIP, Surprise Speakers. Activations. Activities.

✨If you are local you can attend the sessions. LODGING IS SOLD OUT.

Don’t miss the Esther Posture Wife Retreat.
Thursday, September 24th through Saturday, September 26th in Mesa, Arizona.

My Pastor, and friend, Kelly Roberson is one of my guests speaking at the Esther Posture Wife Retreat. She is a kingdom force wrapped in both fire and grace. Forged in the crushing seasons of fear, intimidation, and silent warfare, she is a living testimony of what happens when a woman allows God to heal her voice, strengthen her spirit, and call her out from hiding.

What once tried to silence her has now become the very oil that rests on her life!!

She carries the posture of Esther, consecrated, discerning, surrendered, and unshaken. A woman who understands that preparation in private produces authority in public. Though hidden for a season, heaven was only developing her for an appointed time and an appointed assignment.

Pastor Kelly is a quiet storm in the Spirit.
She does not have to strive for attention because her authority speaks before she does. God uses her powerfully in the areas of spiritual warfare, deliverance, and inner healing. She carries a prophetic weight that confronts fear, breaks oppression, and calls women back into alignment with the voice of God.

With authenticity, wisdom, and prophetic boldness, she ministers in a way that awakens purpose, restores identity, and ignites women to arise in the authority heaven has already given them.

There are women who will walk into this retreat burdened by fear, rejection, and silence-but they will leave with the posture of Esther: bold, yielded, discerning, and ready for such a time as this.

Your words have a real impact. How well you communicate has a direct correlation to how successful your relationship is. Your marriage will never rise above the level of the words that are coming out of your mouth.

“Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭MSG.

Agree with God and use the authority that Christ has given to heal and help one another by using the right words.

Coming all the way from Turtletown, Tennessee. Sarah Smith Payne will be pouring out at The Esther Posture-Wife Retreat.

“We’ve misunderstood “help meet” for a long time. It's a role for women, not men.

It was never meant to describe a woman who stays small, silent, or secondary.

In Genesis, the word used is k’negdo...
a helper corresponding to him, face-to-face with him, fit for him.

Not created to replace his leadership.
Not created to compete with his authority.
But created to strengthen his assignment.

God did not create woman because man lacked companionship.
He created her because man lacked completion.
There was a God-given mandate that required two...different in role, equal in value, united in purpose.

Biblical order was never about dominance.
It was about alignment.

When a husband walks rightly before God,
and a wife stands rightly beside him,
something powerful happens:

The home becomes fortified.
The calling advances.
The enemy loses access.

A true help meet doesn’t weaken order...
she protects it.

And a godly husband doesn’t fear her strength...
he is strengthened by it.”

Happy May 1st!

We are celebrating marriage all month. Will you join us in praying for one married couple daily? Will you be open to lean into the Holy Spirit about what He says to you about a married couple? Maybe you bless them with a gift card, call them and encourage them. Maybe you send them a card. Maybe you keep their kiddos for a day, or night?

We want you to be intentional about covering a married couple in prayer. Map out your May calendar and add a couple’s name every day that you will pray for. And believe God with us that by May 31st those couples that you have covered are whole, more in love and are moving forward on their journey toward oneness.

Preparing for marriage?

Your marriage is the only relationship you vowed to protect for life.

All the others are important, but you have to make sure you've got your priorities in the correct order.

In honor of Wednesday, married couples we want you to consider this: We live in a time when being busy is worn as a badge of honor. Do more to make more, to accomplish more, to BECOME more. But why? At what cost? If we're not careful, culture's propensity for more (just because more is always better, right?) can distract us from what's truly important, your family.

If you're too busy to spend quality time with your family, you're too busy. This includes your spouse, your children, and those in your faith community.

Are you too busy to spend consistent, meaningful time with your spouse?

We are sharing to give you (and us) permission to live a smaller, slower life because Jesus is far bigger, far more precious, and far more active than we ever could be.

Psalm 90:12 says "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." Numbering your days starts with realizing your God-given limits. You need rest. You need limited productivity. You need to spend time connecting and reconnecting with those you love most.

Now after resting...and spending time with your spouse, GET IT IN.😘

It’s Hump Day!!!!!
We know many people like spontaneity. Some feel like scheduling s*x with their spouse feels like a chore. And feel as though being reminded of it is uncomfortable and weird.

But it can be just the opposite. Being able to plan a time of romance; conversation, candles, music, lingerie, being intentional on setting the atmosphere can increase your arousal.

Try it.
