On February 25th of this year we entered into a time of great victory and celebration. In fact, throughout the nation of Israel, families everywhere were celebrating the goodness and faithfulness of God. You see, it was at this time that God brought Esther forth with such courage in order to deliver her people and all of her kingdom from an imminent death. Her kingdom at that time stretched out across 127 provinces. You may not know this but God's people were facing complete destruction brought on by an enemy of the Jews, the wicked Hamon, who had only gained the king's favor by deception. For almost a complete year, the children of Israel had no other choice but to look upon these decrees that spoke of the death of their loved ones and themselves. Imagine now, how hopeless they felt at this time, and yet God had a hidden plan of deliverance through Queen Esther, who had yet to discover that she was His answer.
God did deliver them and rewrite the decree that had been sent every where. The new decree that the king gave Esther favor to publish allowed the children of Israel to defend their families and homes everywhere. This meant they would be able to fight for their lives and future. God was with them and they overtook all their enemies. The wicked Hamon was hung on the gallows prepared for Mordecai, Esther seized his property, and his ten sons were destroyed as well. You can almost see the celebration and rejoicing in the kingdom on that day! The streets were filled with praise and adoration to God and their queen! It suddenly had all happened in their favor on that particular day!
You may be wondering how this applies to you and I. Let me explain. You see, there is a hidden meaning in the name of Esther that points to our Savior. Esther translated means "star". The scripture describes Jesus as our "Morning Star" and Our Mighty Deliverer. And through the preordained will of God they saw a reversal of the enemies decree on their lives. God has made a decree over every single one of His beloved children. His decree is for life, blessing, glory, prosperity, and honor in every way possible. God's decree was written in the blood of Jesus, our Morning Star. It is an everlasting decree that can not ever be revoked. In other words, it has been signed, sealed, and delivered to us through our Savior Jesus Christ!
Now for more exciting news! Have you ever studied the feast of Purim to discover the actual day that this great victory took place? Remember our God is a God of the details. He has a plan and He knows this plan down to the tiniest detail. You will find that the date of this victory actually took place almost one year later on March 7th. This was the day that fell on the lots for the children of Israel's demise. However, one act of bravery and sacrifice turned the tide! God had a new decree sent and sealed in His authority through Esther. On this day, they rallied their troops and prepared for battle. They did not go into this alone. They had already been preparing through prayer and fasting. I encourage you to read the book of Esther on your own time. You will see God's faithfulness in what appeared to be a hopeless situation. It's time to rejoice as the children of Israel rejoiced! Our celebration of praise is based on the everlasting victory through the blood of the Lamb. Our God is a God of hope and His Kingdom is ever on the side of continual increase!
Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. Romans 15:13 TPT
Dance! Shout! Sing! Rejoice in the Lord who has already overcome it all! Get ready, you have been prepared for battle for such a time as this! You will advance knowing God has already gone before you. You will overcome and recover all! Rejoice in what God has decreed! You are victorious and more than a conqueror! The blood of the Lamb has finished it for all! Let us thank Him continually! Praise Him and let your hearts and hopes be lifted high! It's time to reap for our King! We will see a mighty Harvest in every way we have sown. We will see the Harvest that is the Lord's because of all He has already done! It's time to celebrate! How Great and Mighty is our God! What the enemy has meant for bad God is turning for so much good. Every place that has been attacked and stolen in any way, God is going to restore even more. Our God is a God of Justice and your faithfulness will be rewarded. You will see your enemies hung on the very gallows that he prepared for your destruction. So again Rejoice! Your enemy is His enemy and Jesus has already won!
March will bring in breakthrough after breakthrough that will continue until full restoration and redemption is yours. His blood has sealed this promise. Lift up your eyes and align yourself with His decree, it is the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ! This decree will go out to all nations declaring His glory and honor everywhere. For the world will be covered with the glory of God, declaring His knowledge and power to all creation! Bride of Christ, you will arise in your blood bought victory and see that you are God's answers to the the enemy's plot to steal, kill, and destroy lives everywhere. Be bold and courageous for your King and know that He goes with you everywhere you go! His Kingdom come, His will be done!
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many would be kept alive {as they are this day}. Gen. 50:20 AMP
And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them {in the presence of God}. Revelation 12:11,12 AMP
