Purim And Queen Esther
As Purim is drawing near, and as it approaches, my heart turns again to the courage and faith of Queen Esther—a young (secret) Jewish woman who stepped into unthinkable risk to save her people from destruction.
According to the Book of Esther, the wicked Haman devised a plan to annihilate every Jew in Persia. Yet God positioned Esther, an ordinary woman supported by her cousin Mordecai, to stand in a place of influence and expose the plot. Through her obedience, to the truth, the Jewish people were delivered.
As this blessed holiday approaches, Jewish communities, and even messianic Christians prepare to remember that deliverance with readings from the Book of Esther, festive meals, and the joyful mitzvah of hearing the megillah—the scroll recounting how God used Mordecai and Esther to overturn Haman’s schemes.
I’ve studied that families share gifts of food, often two ready‑to‑eat items like pastries or fruit, and they give generously to the poor and to worthy causes. The celebration also culminates in a feast marked by joy, gratitude, and remembrance of God’s faithfulness.
As Esther 9:22 declares, these are days when sorrow was turned to gladness, mourning to celebration—days of feasting, rejoicing, and giving gifts to one another and to the poor.
And just as the Jews were delivered from their enemies in Esther’s story, and from every wicked scheme set against them, so it is with those whom Adonai has rescued in our own day.
The same God who overturned Haman’s plot still overturns the tactics of darkness now. And those of us who have walked through fire with Him know what it is to watch the ashes of our former battles rise into gladness, to see sorrow give way to joy, and to feel the deep reward of peace settling over our lives in Christ.
When God delivers, He does not merely remove the threat—He replaces it with something beautiful. He turns out mourning into dancing, our heaviness into praise, and warfare into a phenomenon.
Wonderful things begin to bloom for us where destruction once tried to take root.
That said, even today, as I rode home from our family vacation while my son drove, I felt compelled to pause and reflect on Esther’s story. —At a simple servant’s courage which has always been dear to me. —Beyond my own personal life story and reasons, Esther teaches us something timeless: we must stand for what is right in the eyes of Christ and follow God no matter the cost.
No fear.
Like Esther, (but living authentically) we raise our voices against injustice, and we take risks that may look foolish to those who were never asked by God to take such risky and courageous steps.
We anchor ourselves in His voice, His faithfulness, His Gospel, His leading, and Christ’s anointing teaching us all things.
Speaking transparently, I must admit I long felt a deep kinship with Esther’s hidden life and her quiet obedience to God.
There is a particular weight and beauty in serving silently, unseen by most, yet fully known by the Lord.
Much like Esther, (but living authentically) I have walked multiple seasons where I could not speak in totality of the instructions God gave me or what He was doing, where the assignment required secrecy, restraint, and a posture of listening more than explaining or trying to prove something
Serving the people in plain sight while remaining hidden in purpose is a strange tension, often overlooked and cursed by those who choose to disbelieve or misunderstand but no less holy and ordained by God.
It is the place where Yeshua refines His vessels, protects His people, and prepares His servants for the moment He chooses to reveal what He has been shaping all along.
Not everyone will understand this prophetic path, (no bells or whistles) but if you do, God bless you—because you know the pain, the heartache, and the quiet struggle of living humbly Obediently, while both the religious and unbelieving seek to tear you down and silence you, we know what it feels like to walk with a pure heart and servant’s posture, misunderstood and targeted for refusing to bow to anything but Christ’s word and voice.
Yet, by God’s grace, we remain—rising above the noise, standing firm for the Gospel, Yeshua, and Christ’s creation, faithful and stronger than ever—not perfect but progressing.
Those of you who walk this hidden path know the cost: pressed but not crushed, struck down but not destroyed, refined yet preserved by God’s hand. —We serve quietly, love deeply, intercede, teach, and obey fully, even amid mockery and attacks. Our endurance is a miracle upheld by Yeshua Himself.
So similar to Esther’s story and the joy of her people rings true:
“And the Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor” (Esther 8:16).
Meanwhile, as Purim approaches, may we remember that light, love, and gladness—not living vicariously through Esther as false teachers do, but applying Christ’s biblical truth to our own lives authentically and honorably.
We honor Esther’s courage and celebrate today’s saints serving Christ, protecting the faith of our brethren in historically transforming times.
Sadly, many false teachers exploit Purim and Esther’s story, manipulating people with lies of blessing and power for personal gain. This is not prophecy but manipulation—textbook deception.
False teachers twist biblical stories for self-glorification.
True servants called by God do not seek admiration; our missions remain hidden, awaiting Adonai’s appointed time.
There is no “Esther anointing” or “David or Joseph anointing”—only the anointing of Jesus Christ.
As 1 John 2:20 says, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.” Spiritual anointing comes from Christ alone and involves purification, testing, and stewardship.
Anyone teaching otherwise—through lies, manipulation, “ear tickling” and fake revivals, (conventions) and exploiting God’s people for cash —is from the devil, the liar from the beginning (John 8:44).
Soon, eyes will awaken to the deception. Until then, servants like myself, Joel, and the true Ekklesia will proclaim the true Gospel and expose the enemy’s fraud, honoring Esther and all biblical servants for their place in God’s redemptive timeline.
We stand firm in Christ’s covenant, knowing He is our Sabbath, rest, and completion—the substance behind everything in scripture, the festivals prophets, and celebrations.
Everything leads to Yeshua.
He is our SAVIOR; the Holy Messiah..
So while we’re remembering Purim’s beauty and Esther’s courage, we find our identity and deliverance fully in Jesus Christ alone.
God bless us all.
Much love and truth in Christ,
Sister Christine 🛡️
