FEAST OF PURIM – PART 3

Today is the second and final day of the Jewish Feast of Purim celebration which concludes tonight at sundown.

Israel has always had its enemies as Satan tried to destroy God’s covenant nation and disrupt the Messianic line of redemption. He is still at it today as Muslim nations pledge to annihilate Israel and all Jews. There was also such a sworn enemy of the Jews during Esther’s time. The story begins in Esther chapter 3 with the ascension in power of Haman the Agagite. He sought to kill all the Jews throughout the 127 provinces of the Medo-Persian empire.

Haman was a wealthy man who had gained great favor with King Ahasuerus above all other princes of the kingdom. The king promoted him to the highest ruling position in the empire and was answerable only to King Ahasuerus.

Haman became so prideful of his position that he felt every person should bow down to the ground to him as he passed them by. Mordecai refused to bow to Haman; he would only bow to Jehovah. This infuriated Haman to the point of extreme hatred toward Mordecai and all Jews.

Who was Haman the Agagite? Why did Satan choose him to exterminate the Jews? Satan knew his history. Haman had clearly descended from King Agag of the Amalekites. The Amalekites were life-long enemies of Israel. (2000-700 B.C.) They were the first people to attack Israel after Moses led them out of Egypt.

King Saul was ordered years later by God, through the prophet Samuel, to destroy all the Amalekites. He disobeyed by sparing their King, Agag. Samuel had to kill him. Because of this Saul lost his anointing as king.

Haman was of the lineage of Agag, the king of the Amalekites. Satan had raised him up in the Persian King’s eyes to put him in a position to destroy Israel and the Jews. God had a plan to bring salvation to his people. Esther and Mordecai played the key roles, but all Jews had their part in it through prayer and fasting.

Tomorrow we shall see how Satan’s evil plan unfolded and how God gave an answer to it.

LOVE NEVER FAILS

In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul writes about love. It is interesting that this chapter is between Chapter 12 which speaks about the gifts that Holy Spirit imparts, and Chapter 14 which speaks of discipline and how the gifts should operate in the church. Right between these two chapters he changes the subject and speaks on love.

Paul is letting the people in Corinth, that were very zealous for the gifts, know that if you have a gift and don’t season it with love you don’t know God. It says in 1 Corinthians 13:1 says, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity (love) I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.” In other words, if you have a gift that is mentioned in chapter 12 but don’t have love operating when you use that gift then you are just making a bunch of noise like clanging cymbals.

He goes on to say in 13:8: “Charity (love) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.” You see, all that is left when it is all said and done is our love walk. We can have the greatest gifts ever, but if we do not demonstrate love then we are just clanging cymbals.

In the season we are in there is much anger, deception, and false gifts being manifested. We must look beyond these things and determine to walk in love and not be offended by those that are bound up in these things. Our love walk can make a difference.

One of the greatest lessons we can learn from Jesus is when he was on the cross, stripped of all one could be stripped of, yet he said, in Luke 23:34: “…Father forgive them, for they know not what they do…” He is our example of perfect love, loving the sinner and giving his life for sin. That should be our daily goal, to love the unlovely by walking in love even when we have every reason in the natural to not do it.

In 1 John 4:7-8 it says, “Beloved, (that is you and me) let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love.” Spiritual gifts are not a sign of knowing God. Love is. Always abide in love because love never fails.

PROPHETIC WORD

4-16-2022

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

For this is not the hour for you to question whether you hear from me or not, for I would say that you do hear, and you have pondered as to whether it was me, but it is me. I have been speaking to you in the night hours while you have cried out but often you do not hear my voice. I would say that this is the hour to be activated for you have held back when I have said there was a green light. You have been in neutral when I said the light was green. Though none will go with you, I would say, it is your call, your vision, and your hour to be activated. Do not depend upon those around you to confirm what I have called you to do, for they would often discourage you and say it isn’t possible for you to do what you have been called to do, but even as I called the prophets of old that were common men and women, I would say it was not in their own strength that they went forth. They totally, and completely had to focus on my voice. They went forward not knowing what to expect. There were the Abraham’s and the Isaac’s and the Moses’s but today there is you. You have been equipped for such a time as this. Do not try to do what I have asked you to do in your own strength for you would fail. You have come to the Red Sea and see it as an obstacle for you to not go forward, but it is not an obstacle my child. It is an opportunity for me to get the glory. For I will not share my glory with anyone. It will be me that leads, and me that guides, and it will be me that will get the glory. So, rise up, and shake off the dust of those that have tried to hinder you and be what I have called you to be. This is your hour for my glory to rest upon you. You shall go forward and if you do not look back you shall see doors open that no man can shut, and doors shut that no man can open. Do not depend upon the arm of the flesh for it will fail you. Depend upon me saith the Lord, for I am with you. This is your hour to rise and shine saith the Lord.

PROPHECTIC WORD

3-7-2023

Sure there’s been times in life when you’ve been TESTED; But it was NOT for God to EXPOSE your WEAKNESSES…But rather it WAS for YOU to DISCOVER your HIDDEN STRENGTHS. Now determine in your heart to ALLOW your BIGGEST TRIALS…To bring you on through those WORST of TIMES and it’s there you’ll witness your most GREATEST STRENGTHS. So quit dwelling on those hard TIMES of TESTING; For soon you’ll be utilizing the GREAT STRENGTHS you DISCOVERED…While watching them bring you right on into the very BEST of TIMES that are now COMING to you.
