Called, Crowned, and Sent | From Purim to Passover

March 2, 2026 | Curt Landry
Share with your family and friends:
Have you ever stepped into a new season, but realized your heart and mind are still trying to catch up from the last one? God is moving right now. He is preparing you in the “catch-up” feeling to possess your Promised Land at Passover.

Expect new doors to open and divine positioning to take place this month.

March is a month when the Hebrew months of Adar and Nisan converge to prophetically prepare you to answer your divine assignment—a powerful time that carries you from Purim to Passover—from preparation to possession—when we are called, crowned, and sent into your divine assignment.

Preparation Before Promotion

Just as we see in the story of Esther, promotion does not happen without preparation. Before Esther spoke publicly, she prepared privately. We cannot rush the process—preparation is the key to success.

Key spiritual focuses for walking through the doors God is opening this month:

1. Position Your Heart to Hear—Before you carry God’s message, you must first hear Him clearly. Fine-tune what the Lord is saying, condense it, and deliver it with clarity, power, and anointing.

2. Watch for Divine Separation and Immersion—God may remove you from one place, task, or routine and immerse you in something new. These shifts often come with repositioning, requiring new habits and patterns, and a renewed mindset.

3. Choose Joy and Stir Up the Gifts—Adar is a month of victory and reversal, as seen when Haman and his sons were defeated. God often separates us from what hinders us—but that process can be painful. Yet victory is ahead, and joy is part of our reward. Stir up spiritual gifts, cast off fear, and walk in boldness because God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

4. Expect Wisdom from the “Mordecais” in Your Life—Expect wisdom on timing from the “Mordecais” in your life. They will guide you to be in the right place at the right time. Events will unfold quickly, so prophetic insight and preparation will be essential.

5. Pray, Speak, and Listen—As you pray and speak, remember that the most important thing is to listen. God is working to align you with His heart and ways, which may require you to wait. His movement will come, and acceleration will follow. Be hopeful, obedient, and expectant.

From Purim to Passover

Purim prepares you for Passover. It is a month of surrender, holiness, generosity, and readiness to step into the Lord’s table and the blessings ahead.

Incline your heart to the Lord, recommit to His instruction, and say “yes” again to the call—standing for Israel through humanitarian aid, broadcasting truth, and proclaiming the Gospel in a time when antisemitism is rising across the world.

Surrender the outcome at His feet. And when He says, “Go,” pick it up and run.

Enter this month with expectation, because the joy of the Lord is your strength, and God is preparing you for your purpose in His perfect timing—just as He did for Esther.

Happy Purim from Modern Mind, Ancient Book.

Purim is a celebration of reversal — when a decree of death was turned into deliverance, and the “tree” built for Mordecai became the instrument of Haman’s downfall. In Esther, the word is ʿēts — a tree, wood, a pole. What was meant to display the shame of a righteous man became the public judgment of evil. The story quietly teaches a pattern that runs through the entire Bible: the tree meant for destruction becomes the place where God overturns the verdict.

That tree motif reaches back into Torah. In Deuteronomy, anyone “hung on a tree” is associated with covenant curse — exposed, shamed, publicly judged. The same Hebrew word appears. The same wood. The same public display. Yet Purim shows us something profound: God can reverse even the symbol of curse. What was constructed for the annihilation of God’s people becomes the platform of their preservation.

The New Testament intentionally echoes this language. When the apostles speak of Jesus being hung on a “tree” (xýlon), they are not being poetic — they are invoking the Torah and the memory of Esther. The tree again becomes central. The righteous one is publicly shamed. The verdict appears final. Yet, as in Purim, the story turns. The weapon of the enemy becomes the instrument of salvation. The tree becomes the doorway to life for many.

So this Purim, rejoice in the God who reverses decrees, who turns gallows into victory, and who transforms trees of shame into signs of redemption. The pattern has not changed. The King still overturns evil. May your house be filled with joy, courage, and the deep confidence that no decree stands when the Author of the story decides to turn it.

Chag Purim Sameach — and walk the Way.

Here is Today's Message

Esther 9:26-32 NKJV


Esther 9:26-32 So they called these days Purim after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this mater, and what had happened to them,

the Jews established and imposed  it upon themselves and their descendants and all who would join them, that without fail they should celebrate these two days every year, according to the written instructions and according to the prescribed time,

that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city, that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, and that the memory of them should not perish among the descendants.

Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.

And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had prescribed for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their descendants concerning matters of their fasting and lamenting.

So the decree of Esther confirmed these maters of Purim, and it was written in the book.

Esther 9:20-25 And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,

to establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar,

as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor.

So the Jews accepted the custom which they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,

because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to annihilate them, and had cast Pur (that is, the lot) to consume them and destroy them;

but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

Nehemiah 8:9-12 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for the day is holy to he Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved."

And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.

Esther 7:7-10 Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden, but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

When the king returned from the palace garden  to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?" As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman." Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath subsided.
