Esther 3, the battle against the flesh!

Est 3:1, After these things King Ahasuerus PROMOTED HAMAN, the son of Hammedatha THE AGAGITE, and ADVANCED HIM AND SET HIS SEAT ABOVE ALL THE PRINCES WHO WERE WITH HIM.

Psa 12:8, THE WICKED PROWL ON EVERY SIDE, WHEN VILENESS IS EXALTED AMONG THE SONS OF MEN. 

Remember even this is from the LORD; when a wicked man such as Haman is promoted to power! Haman was a descendant of Agag who was the king of the Amalekites!

Exo 17:14,16, THEN THE LORD SAID to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, THAT I WILL UTTERLY BLOT OUT THE REMEMBRANCE OF AMALEK FROM UNDER HEAVEN.” … for he said, “BECAUSE THE LORD HAS SWORN: THE LORD WILL HAVE WAR WITH AMALEK FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.” 

Amalek, for the Christian, is a type of flesh that we battle on a daily basis! THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT!

Est 3:2, And ALL THE KING’S SERVANTS who were within the king’s gate BOWED AND PAID HOMAGE TO HAMAN, for so the king had commanded concerning him. BUT MORDECAI WOULD NOT BOW OR PAY HOMAGE. 

AS CHRISTIANS WE WILL ONLY BOW DOWN TO HIM WHO IS WORTHY OF PRAISE, NOT TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN!

Php 2:10, that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 

Est 3:5-6, When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, HAMAN WAS FILLED WITH WRATH. BUT HE DISDAINED TO LAY HANDS ON MORDECAI ALONE, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, HAMAN SOUGHT TO DESTROY ALL THE JEWS …

TODAY, MEN RIOT AGAINST ALL THE POLICE FOR THE ACTIONS OF BUT A FEW JUST AS HAMAN SOUGHT TO KILL EVERY JEW FOR THE ACTIONS OF JUST ONE!  THE STAGE IS SET

Gal 5:17, For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
