February 2010

Dear Friend and Partners,

Another incredible opportunity for God to move in your life is here right now! It's another one of God’s appointed times for signs, wonders and miracles. It's a season for God to turn your story upside down! It's Purim!

If you're standing in faith for a miracle breakthrough in a family relationship, in a medical or legal matter or in an important business deal, now is the time to expect your miracle. Even if you don't feel the presence of God, the biblical holiday of Purim and the story of Esther shows that God is always moving behind the scenes to change every circumstance in your life.

Purim celebrates how God miraculously delivered Queen Esther and the nation of Israel. It's called the time of the hidden hand of God. Even though the name of God doesn't openly appear anywhere in the Book of Esther; it is their hidden in Hebrew, reminding us of God's great power to make ALL things work together for our good.

Haman is the villain in this story who devised a wicked strategy to destroy the Jewish people. What he didn't plan on was God moving behind the scenes to turn every circumstance upside down…and what God did for Esther and the people of God, He wants to do for you too!

Just like Haman, the enemy thinks he has a fool-proof plan against you; but he doesn't! The devil can't stop your story from being turned upside down! Even as you're reading this letter, God's hidden hand is already moving to supernaturally change your circumstances.

There are so many truths hidden in this story that I don't have time to teach, so be sure to send for the teaching; but let me share a few things from my studies with one of Americas great Rabbis, Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

He took me to Leviticus 23:27 and showed me a powerful connection between Purim and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. In the Torah and in the original Hebrew, Yom Kippur is actually called Yom Kippur-Purim. It's not written in our English translations but it's a revelation in the Word of God that will release your miracle!

Let me explain. Both holidays include the casting of lots. In Purim Haman cast lots (dice) to set the day for the destruction of God's people. The lots added up to the name of King Agag, an ancestor of Haman's and an eternal enemy of Israel. This is what emboldened Haman to carry out his wicked plan.

What Haman didn't know were the numbers on the bottom of the dice added up to the name of King David, the conquering king of Israel and from whose lineage the Messiah would come. So, on the surface it looked like the enemy was going to win but underneath God was ready to bring a supernatural victory. This is all picture of what God is getting ready to do for you!

On Yom Kippur lots were also cast to select the two sacrifices; one sacrifice was to break the curse and the other to release the blessing. Combined together Yom Kippur-Purim paints a powerful picture of a miracle breakthrough for God's people. First, God is going to turn your story upside down. Second, He is going to break the curse so it cannot come back. Third, God will supernaturally guard you from any future attacks.

Now go back with me to Leviticus 23:27 so I can show you another phenomenal part of this teaching. The scripture says that on the Yom Kippur-Purim, the people came together for a "holy convocation, afflicted their souls, and gave an offering by fire to the Lord."

This 'offering of fire' is no ordinary offering. It is an offering that comes not from your head but from the depths of your soul. It's a special gift to the Lord that comes from deep within your heart. It's an offering that combines the power of both Yom Kippur and Purim. It's a hidden key to releasing the signs, wonders and miracles.

Only the Lord can tell you how much your 'offering of fire' should be, but think about this, sow your seed in proportion to your need. God may speak to you to sow $100 or $1,000 but whatever the Lord tells you to give, large or small, do it in obedience to Him. As you do, God says this offering will be as an 'offering of fire' unto me.

As you sow this special gift also write down everything the enemy has tried to bring against you; every challenge, every need and every obstacle. On Purim Sunday here in Dallas we will burn these before the Lord on a specially created altar. This will symbolize your miracle victory and the enemy's absolute defeat.

Just as Mordcai encouraged Esther to be of good courage because she was born 'for such a time as this'; Tiz and I want to encourage you. This is one of those defining moments for you, your family, your finances and your future. Purim is your appointment with destiny. It's time for God to turn your story upside down!

Let God speak to you right now about what to sow and send it in today with your prayer requests! With any 'offering of fire' of $25 or more you will receive our special Purim Package which includes my 2-CD teaching, an informative Esther /Purim booklet and an amazing silver mezuzah keychain.

We love you, appreciate your generous support and look forward to hearing from you in time for the Purim service. Tiz and I are praying that during this season of Purim God is going to turn your story upside down!
