Defeat Of The Enemy  

Esther 7:10

So they hanged Haman on the gallows

that he had prepared for Mordecai.

Then the king's wrath subsided.

Proverbs 12:3, 7

A man is not established by wickedness,

But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.

The wicked are overthrown and are no more,

But the house of the righteous will stand.

Although there is not one mention of GOD in the book of Esther,

the spiritual realm is clear.

There is a battle between two spiritual kingdoms.

The invisible hand of GOD is evident

working on behalf of His people

exposing the works of the evil one.

Mordecai and Esther are agents of GOD.

Haman is an agent of the devil.

Although prayer is not mentioned,

the fast that Esther proclaimed was

to deny flesh, allowing GOD to move.

Esther was led by GOD

to speak to the king at the right time.

GOD moved the king

to ask for the chronicles at the right time.

The wicked plan of Haman

was exposed at the right time.

The first look at the cross of CHRIST,

Gives an impression of defeat for GOD

And victory for the devil.

But if you have a careful look again,

You will see the victory for mankind

And the defeat of the devil!

Now he has no way of accusing those,

who are ‘In CHRIST’!

We have been avenged for all our sin and wickedness

By GOD through His Son.

The devil was defeated at the cross

That he planned for JESUS!

Haman was defeated at the gallows

That he planned for Mordecai!

Philippians 2:8-11

And being found in appearance as a man,

He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,

even the death of the cross.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him

and given Him the name which is above every name,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

If you have trusted the LORD JESUS
as your Savior,
you are not a victim of the devil anymore.
You are a Victor!
Daily walk in the victory that
GOD has gained for you
through the LORD JESUS!!

Divine Intervention

Esther 5:14

Then his wife Zeresh

and all his friends said to him,

"Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high,

and in the morning suggest to the king

that Mordecai be hanged on it;

then go merrily with the king to the banquet."

And the thing pleased Haman;

so he had the gallows made.

In response to intercession,

GOD intervenes at the right time

to interrupt the plans of the evil one.

Esther 6:1-3

That night the king could not sleep.

So one was commanded

to bring the book of the records of the chronicles;

and they were read before the king.

And it was found written

that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh,

two of the king's eunuchs, the doorkeepers

who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

Then the king said,

"What honor or dignity has been bestowed

on Mordecai for this?"

And the king's servants who attended him said,

"Nothing has been done for him."

Esther 6:4

So the king said,

"Who is in the court?"

Now Haman had just entered

the outer court of the king's palace

to suggest that the king hang Mordecai

on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

Like the board games Drafts, Chess and Bridge,

GOD versus the sinister moves of the devil

In response to intercession.

GOD’S moves are perfectly timed and accurate!

Esther 6:10

Then the king said to Haman,

"Hurry, take the robe and the horse,

as you have suggested,

and do so for Mordecai the Jew

who sits within the king's gate!

Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken."

If you have not been rewarded for some good work,

wait patiently.

GOD will fully reward you

at the right time.

Chapter 3

Worship

Esther 3:1

After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman,

the son of Hammedatha the Agagite,

and advanced him and set his seat

above all the princes who were with him.

Haman, the wicked enemy of the Jews

was given the promotion

that should have been given to mordecai

who exposed a plot against the king.

How often do people promote

the enemy of their souls to rule in their lives?

Do I give the devil authority in my life

by bowing down to his evil ways?

Esther 3:2

And all the king's servants

who were within the king's gate

bowed and paid homage to Haman,

for so the king had commanded concerning him.

But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.

As a devout Jew, Mordecai knew

and obeyed the commandment of GOD.

Exodus 20:2-5(a)

"You shall have no other gods before Me.

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image-

-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,

or that is in the earth beneath,

or that is in the water under the earth;

you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

Revelation 22:8-9

Now I, John, saw and heard these things.

And when I heard and saw,

I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel

who showed me these things.

Then he said to me,

"See that you do not do that.

For I am your fellow servant,

and of your brethren the prophets,

and of those who keep the words of this book.

Worship God."

Do I worship anyone or anything else other than the LORD?

Do I unconditionally, unquestioningly obey anyone or any worldly system?

Esther 3:5-6

When Haman saw that

Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage,

Haman was filled with wrath.

But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone,

for they had told him of the people of Mordecai.

Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews

who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus

--the people of Mordecai.

The devil is furious

And is against GOD’S people

who worship GOD alone.

The devil desires to be worshiped.

Matthew 4:9-10

And he said to Him,

"All these things I will give You

if You will fall down and worship me."

Then Jesus said to him,

"Away with you, Satan! For it is written,

'You shall worship the LORD your God,

and Him only you shall serve.' "

Revelation 12:12-17

"Therefore rejoice, O heavens,

and you who dwell in them!

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!

For the devil has come down to you,

having great wrath,

because he knows that he has a short time."

Now when the dragon saw

that he had been cast to the earth,

he persecuted the woman

who gave birth to the male Child.

But the woman was given

two wings of a great eagle,

that she might fly

into the wilderness to her place,

where she is nourished

for a time and times and half a time,

from the presence of the serpent.

So the serpent spewed water

out of his mouth like a flood

after the woman,

that he might cause her

to be carried away by the flood.

But the earth helped the woman,

and the earth opened its mouth

and swallowed up the flood

which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

And the dragon was enraged with the woman,

and he went to make war

with the rest of her offspring,

who keep the commandments of God

and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
