A Purim Poem

I raised up My daughter fair, deep dark eyes, long flowing hair

To attract a king who signed a decree to destroy My people

He was deceived by one who would plan and plot and prepare

He would have them destroyed and erased from the earth

She was an orphan living in exile, none would give her a glance

I raised her up to be one who fasts and prays for what touches My heart

I ordained her days to win his heart, she was not in the palace by chance

She was purposed to fulfill her role as queen and to take her part

I have raised you up to be a people who fast and pray and to be one

Who will seek what is on My heart and to intervene for the perishing

For the Evil One has a mandate to deceive the lost and the alone

He is relentless in his pursuit to destroy by planning and conniving

But I will thwart his plans when My people rise up to pray

He has marked My people Israel and My grafted branch

Perhaps you are ordained for such a time as this

I will rise and fight, he does not stand a chance

When My people intercede and cry out for justice

Do not take this battle lightly or believe that it will pass

If you are quiet, for deliverance will rise but you will expire

I have called you to this time and for your sword to grasp

And wield it on the enemy for My Word makes him a liar

He will cower in despair

Rise up My people we are in such volatile times

I hear the cry of many but see the sword of few

You must remain vigilant and lay passivity aside

I will answer when you call to defeat the minions

They are no match for the thousands of angelic legions

Rise up for such a time as this, pray, fast, intercede

For the lost, hurting, and perishing and those marked

For annihilation from the face of the earth

The enemy is on the move he knows his time is short

He has already been defeated he and all his cohorts

My people shall arise their swords wielding in their hand

By the Blood of Jesus and their testimony they will take a stand

Watch Me move on your behalf when you prepare for battle

You will see the enemy defeated and take back your land

…Answer the call…for such a time as this…
