For a Time Such as This
On March 17 Purim was celebrated, the festival that goes back to the events in the book of Esther and has been observed in Judaism for almost 2,500 years. What is this feast day actually all about? What prophetic meaning lies within it? And might this also be relevant for us here and now?
Martin explores with you some fascinating aspects of the Esther story. Who was Haman, who wanted to destroy the people of God, and what does he stand for? What role does Mordecai play, who by his refusal to bow before Haman set off a whole chain of events? What is the significance of the dates mentioned in the book of Esther? What is God saying to you and me today through this remarkable story? Stay tuned!
And who knows whether it was not for a time such as this that you have come to the kingdom?

Helen Calder: "6 Keys to Divine Promotion"
A Word for Every Mordecai and Every Esther
An prophetic promise of the Lord for you, received from Helen Calder from Australia:
"Beloved, I have chosen you and you are My key person. I will place you into situations at the right moment, and I will use you to open up new opportunities and relationships and to enter new territory.
Yes, at times it will be uncomfortable, but know that I am with you . And as wonderful as the opportunity may be, you will know that you have come into it only by My grace. You will also know that I have called and equipped you for this moment.
I have you brought into the kingdom of God for a time such as this. As I have raised you up from the lowliness of your ash heap, be intimately acquainted with My grace and My power. You will possess unusual faith – a faith that shows the way.
Moreover, you will know My mercy and My love for others who are still in dark places. Your trust in Me will be great. Many will rejoice over the deliverance that I bring throughout the land. The sound of jubilation will follow the deliverance, like one wave after another. You will see it with your own eyes, and you will rejoice, for I have called you to be part of it. In the place where you are placed, you are My key."
