From My Heart to Yours


I am writing this letter specifically for YOU.

When the Father first told me to launch this ministry, I hesitated. My past was messy. I doubted my ability to lead because of the mistakes I had made. But God would not let me believe the lie that I was disqualified.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” — Proverbs 31:30

For years I wrestled with that passage, feeling unworthy because of my history:

  • I was bullied in school and raped at 19.
  • I entered a season of brokenness and poor decisions.
  • I endured a toxic marriage marked by alcoholism and abuse, ending in divorce.
  • I faced betrayal, theft, corporate persecution, scams—even bankruptcy.


Worst of all, the enemy stole my peace, joy, strength, and identity in Him.


Yet in every valley, God refined me. He healed, delivered, and restored. Today I can say with confidence: my scars became the soil where His glory grew.


And because He is faithful, I now stand on the other side of that pit with joy: I am happily married to a godly husband who loves and honors me, and together we are raising two beautiful children in the fear and love of the Lord. Our family lives debt-free in the provision of God, walking in peace and abundance where there once was lack and struggle.

What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord has turned into platforms of influence. My business, Favor and Wealth, is thriving and equipping entrepreneurs to build with biblical wisdom and strategic systems. Through The Estherpreneur Podcast, I’ve been able to pour into thousands of leaders worldwide with encouragement, truth, and practical insight. And through Esther’s Oil Ministries, I’ve ministered to countless individuals in seasons of crisis, helping them find healing, wholeness, and hope.

We are not merely surviving—we are living out our mighty call as a family and as a ministry, walking in purpose, wholeness, and Kingdom impact.

Now, He has opened doors for me to serve in the marketplace, to stand with women in transition, and to minister to the brokenhearted.

Through Esther’s Oil Ministries, my vision is to:

  • Pray for the hurting.
  • Build a safe, Spirit-filled community.
  • Equip others with the Word, mentoring, and resources.
  • Break chains of fear, abuse, addiction, poverty, and generational curses.
  • Empower the Bride of Christ to rise in wholeness—mind, body, spirit, and finances.


I believe God still gives new beginnings. He restores marriages, rebuilds families, redeems careers, and resurrects dreams. Nothing is wasted in His hands.

My heart is especially for those in transition—those who feel lost, unclear, or unsure of what God is calling them to do. I know what that feels like, and I also know this: your gifts are alive, and the world needs them.

Esther’s Oil is more than a ministry; it’s a movement. A place where ordinary believers walk in extraordinary identity—as kings, priests, and warriors who carry His love, power, and authority to the world.

You are not here by accident. If this message resonates with you, I invite you to connect today. Together, let’s walk into freedom, clarity, and the fullness of God’s plan for your life.

I am praying for you,

- Edna Harding
