As we stand in the 12th ecclesiastical month, the month of Adar, the book of Esther magnifies incredible truth and reminders of God’s rhythms and promises in this hour. After fear, threats, demonic decrees and heaviness had gripped the people of God, Esther’s intercession (and Christ’s intercession on our behalf) compels God to move in miraculous ways, bringing Godly decrees, equipment, empowerment, victory, deliverance and GREAT JOY to those who had been oppressed! Esther 9:22 says, “(in this time) the Jews got relief from their enemies, the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration!…” I believe that the Lord is inviting us to hold fast to the gift of His Spirit—JOY—right now. That many have been wrestling unprecedented fear, anxiety, heaviness, opposition and threats. But He is moving in alignment with His nature, His timing and His rhythms and many are going to begin to see miraculous relief come, a great restoration of joy, Jesus’ supernatural intercession in their lives, and an empowerment by His great grace even when circumstances still seem heavy and hard. I needed this word from Him more than ever 😭 and in this Biblical month (which stretches from Feb 12-March 13 on our calendar) I am resolving to hold fast to Romans 15:13, that the God of hope would fill me with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit I may abound in hope. Join me in posturing your heart the same way? I pray this word encourages you!

It is our heart to provide for the Bride of Christ freely. We wholeheartedly believe in God’s design for the church demonstrated in Acts 4, which compels believers to care for one another, as a family. It is our hope that the body of Christ would become a support system for one another, and provide for one another until no one has need (Acts 4:32-34). If you feel led by the Holy Spirit to support our ministry, you can do so HERE.
