Can You Be Found at the King’s Gate?

Feb 1, 2026    Pastor James Epperly

What if the enemy’s greatest fear isn’t your success, your intelligence, or your resources… but your consistency? In this message from Esther 5, we zoom in on the repeated phrase “the king’s gate” and the moment that changed everything: everyone bowed… but Mordecai wouldn’t.


Haman’s “perfect life” still felt empty for one reason—because one unbowed believer at the gate disturbed his peace. And that’s the revelation for you today: hell loses sleep when you show up at the King’s gate every day.


In this teaching, you’ll learn:


Why the adversary fights hardest when you’re tired, pressured, and vulnerable


What it really means to be “found at the gate” through prayer, worship, and the Word


How “every day” devotion shifts battles you can’t see (Daniel’s breakthrough pattern)


Why the King’s Gate attitude is to keep getting up—every round, every day


How Jesus built you access to the throne of grace so you can finish strong


If you’re in a battle, don’t just ask for a miracle—make a decision: I will be found at the King’s gate. Every day.
