Overcoming Victory

Esther 9:1-3
Now in the twelfth month,

that is, the month of Adar,

on the thirteenth day,

the time came for the king's command

and his decree to be executed.

On the day that the enemies of the Jews

had hoped to overpower them,

the opposite occurred,

in that the Jews themselves overpowered

those who hated them.

The Jews gathered together in their cities

throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus

to lay hands on those who sought their harm.

And no one could withstand them,

because fear of them fell upon all people.

And all the officials of the provinces,

the satraps, the governors,

and all those doing the king's work,

helped the Jews,

because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

Luke 10:19

"Behold, I give you the authority

to trample on serpents and scorpions,

and over all the power of the enemy,

and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Although Satan still has power on earth,

we have been given sufficient power

to overcome Satan

and live victoriously!

Romans 16:20
And the God of peace

will crush Satan under your feet shortly.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ

be with you. Amen.

Esther 9:22

as the days on which

the Jews had rest from their enemies,

as the month

which was turned from sorrow to joy for them,

and from mourning to a holiday;

that they should make them days of feasting and joy,

of sending presents to one another

and gifts to the poor.

John 16:20
"Most assuredly, I say to you

that you will weep and lament,

but the world will rejoice;

and you will be sorrowful,

but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

John 16:33

"These things I have spoken to you,

that in Me you may have peace.

In the world you will have tribulation;

but be of good cheer,

I have overcome the world."
