How to turn a loss into victory - lesson from the Book of Esther

Salient points:

• We're in a turnaround season
• The Ecclesia will write a new decree
• God will restore

Notes from Ps Jane Hamon's sharing on June 26, 2022

As God’s people, we’re called to be a counter-culture – we’re not supposed to be like the world.

Believe that God will give us double for our troubles.

Haman – an Agagite, a descendant of an Amalakite King Agag (it is a bloodthirsty tribe, the first tribe that Israelites had to fight against when they came out of Egypt – it also represents a spirit of robbery, come to steal, kill and destroy).

But God comes to give us life and life abundantly.

So, Haman made a decree against Jews. The enemy has always sought to kill a generation before an outbreak of revival, deliverance and breakthroughs (such as in the days of Moses and Jesus). The enemy is sensitive to the timing of God.

God is raising His Ecclesia today to let our voice be heard.

After Esther 7 - Although Haman was dead, his decree to destroy the Jews remained irrevocable.

Esther 8:7 – House of Haman given to Esther. Esther was asked to write a new decree, in the King’s name, and sealed with his signet ring. (King has done His part, you have got to do your part).

The new decree will supersede the old decree. The new decree authorised the Jews to defend themselves. Note our enemy is not against flesh and blood. We counteract evil with good.

Many people in the land of Shusan became Jews (revival broke out) as scales fell off the people who once hated the Jews.

Esther 9:1 – Divine reversal

PROPHECY:
We’re in a turnaround season. We’re going to see revival, amazing manifestations, a harvest of souls.
We’ve entered a time of the hanging Haman’s 10 sons. God is dealing with the enemies and demonic powers (of apathy, complacency, slumber, bitterness, Jezebel spirit)

Esther 9:3 All the officials of the provinces helped the Jews because the fear of Mordecai fell on them.

So, we need to pray for the governors, senators, legislators – that the fear of the Lord would fall on them in this season as new decrees are being written by the Ecclesia. We’re in a new and unique season. Amen.
