Weekly Watch Focus: Purim--Deliverance of God's People

FRIDAY, March 15, 2019—The Bible marks this time of the year as the Feast of Purim (March 21, 2019), a memorial to the great deliverance which God wrought for His people in the time of Esther (Esther 9).  For us as believers this Purim is especially pertinent because it comes in a season where anti-Semitism has become even more visible to the dismay of all who love and bless the Jewish people.
 
The spirit of Haman is alive today threatening Jews and also Christians. Let us bind the spirit of Haman, which is antichrist spirit, and declare that the Lord God of Israel will make all the nations honor His promises for Israel. Bless Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Rejoice in the mighty God who is more than able to deliver and protect His people. Pray for individuals and families who need a great deliverance and supernatural healing.
 
For the Jewish people, Purim is also a specific time set aside for extra laughter and joy, rejoicing in the defeat of the enemies of the God of Israel. May we experience a fresh infilling of the Spirit who fills our mouths with laughter and our tongues with joyful singing (Psalm 126:1-2).

Part 2 - Pray for New Zealand

Watchmen, pray for New Zealand, after at least 49 were killed and many more wounded in shootings at two Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Pray for the families of those who lost their loved ones. Pray for the recovery of the wounded. Pray for safety for all places of worship across the globe. 

Esther 4:14, “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Psalm 126:1-2, “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”

Psalm 107:20, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
