Supernatural Victory

“When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage. But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.” Esther 3:5-6

Mordecai’s enemy, the evil Haman, was not just his personal enemy but the enemy of the Jews, Mordecai’s people and that happened to include Esther, the newly crowned queen. Like Esther and Mordecai we too have an enemy and as Christians that enemy also attacks us on a personal level just as Haman did Mordecai. The weapons that were used against Haman were not carnal weapons or brute strength but prayer and fasting as Esther prayed for favor in preparing to go before her king. Those weapons work every bit as well today against the enemy of our souls, our confidence, our ministries and our very lives. Don’t let down your guard, the enemy is always plotting to destroy God’s people but just as victory was achieved in Esther’s day so can it be in your personal situations and circumstances.

Our enemy’s purpose is to thwart God’s plan for His children and to destroy God’s people and it has been that way since he first attempted to exalt himself above God. Before Haman’s evil plan was thwarted God intervened in a supernatural way. Our enemy is just as defeatable by that same supernatural power!
