Sometimes God does not just remove the attack — He reverses the decree.
What the enemy meant to destroy you becomes the very place God reveals His power.
In the book of Esther, Haman had already written a decree against the Jews. It was sealed with the king’s ring. In the Persian kingdom, once a decree was sealed, it could not simply be erased.
But here is the part many people miss:
God did not erase the first decree.
He released a greater one.
There are days in Scripture that carry a sound.
There are days when heaven seems to make an announcement. There are days when what the enemy planned is overturned by the hand of God. There are days when death sentences are interrupted, sorrow is turned into joy, mourning is exchanged for gladness, and the people of God discover that the enemy did not have the final word.
The 23rd day of Sivan was one of those days.
Esther 8:9 says that on the 23rd day of Sivan, another decree was written. The first decree carried the intention of death, but the second decree gave God’s people authority to rise, stand, defend, and overcome.
That is a picture of what Jesus did for us.
Sin had written a decree against us.
The law exposed our guilt.
The enemy accused us.
Death demanded payment.
But Colossians 2:14 says Jesus blotted out “the handwriting of ordinances that was against us” and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross.
The cross was God’s reversal decree.
The enemy said, “Guilty.”
Jesus said, “Forgiven.”
The enemy said, “Cursed.”
Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.”
The enemy said, “Condemned.”
Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
The enemy said, “Death.”
Jesus said in John 11:25, “I am the resurrection, and the life.”
The enemy said, “It is over.”
Jesus said in John 19:30, “It is finished.”
Haman thought he had written the final chapter, but God had already prepared a reversal.
The same gallows Haman built for Mordecai became the place of Haman’s downfall.
Proverbs 26:27 says, “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein.”
The same house Haman possessed was given to Esther.
The same royal authority Haman used against God’s people was placed into Mordecai’s hands.
The authority changed hands.
That is what Jesus did at Calvary.
Colossians 2:15 says Jesus spoiled principalities and powers, making a show of them openly, triumphing over them through the cross.
The cross looked like defeat, but it was victory.
The tomb looked final, but it became the birthplace of resurrection power.
The enemy thought Jesus was buried, but on the third day heaven issued the final decree:
“He is not here: for he is risen.” — Matthew 28:6
Do not let the first decree convince you that your story is finished.
Do not let the attack make you forget the authority of the King.
Do not let Haman’s voice become louder than the voice of Jesus.
Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”
Genesis 50:20 says, “Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.”
Romans 8:31 says, “If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”
So today, I declare in the name of Jesus:
Every evil decree must bow to the blood of Jesus.
Every assignment of destruction must bow to the finished work of the cross.
Every curse must bow to Galatians 3:13.
Every accusation must bow to Romans 8:1.
Every weapon must bow to Isaiah 54:17.
Every grave must bow to resurrection power.
Every Haman assignment must fall before the authority of the King.
The enemy may have written the first decree, but Jesus wrote the final one in His blood.
And the blood of Jesus still speaks a better word.
Hebrews 12:24 says we have come “to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things.”
The decree has been reversed.
The King has spoken.
Jesus is Lord.
And what the enemy meant for evil, God is turning for good.
A strong ending line for the post would be:
“This decree came through hatred, but the final decree came through the blood of Jesus.”
