The Calling
of Mordecai
Est 10:3 NLT
Mordecai the Jew became the prime minister, with
authority next to that of King Xerxes himself.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MORDECAI - The one destined to be
Prime Minister
He was faithful to the true heart of God, Who adopts
the orphans.
He had no daughter, and was given a father's heart for
the one he adopted.
He operated in the gifts of counsel and wisdom.
He knew the secret of who his daughter was and charged
her not to reveal her real identity.
He received the ear and favor of his adopted daughter
who was taken from him into her destiny.
He watched over his charge daily, checking to see if
there was any news.
He worked behind the scenes in his faithfulness to
serve.
He also had a position within the gates of the
kingdom; a spiritual doorkeeper.
When he discovered an evil plot against the king he
had the courage to expose it even without reward.
He was bravely loyal, refusing to put honored men on
pedestals, but instead held his worship and reverence to
God.
He was very cognizant of proper protocol and
boundaries, but favored God's standard without
compromise.
He was not afraid to consistently make the same stand
to resist compromise when before the demands of men.
Later when his loyalty to the king was discovered, he
was honored with the king's mantle, king's horse, and
king's crest.
He was led by the king's prince in a public honor of
his deeds.
When he discovered another plot much worse he chose to
cloth himself in the ashes of death to self; mourning
over the plight of God's people and daughter.
He knew how to sacrifice; fasting and praying for his
adopted daughter and his people.
His faith in her position undergirded her and gave her
courage to overstep boundaries and protocol even at the
risk of death.
He encouraged her to beg and plead on behalf of her
people.
He agreed with Esther's 3 day plan of intercession and
carried it out.
He suffered enemies, but God reversed the curse and
handed him promotion for his faithfulness.
When the plot reversed he was given the King's signet
ring, the authority to make irrevocable decrees.
In so receiving this power, he commanded and
dispatched the decrees over the people.
He was promoted with authority in government to 2nd in
command next to the king.
He was favored and honored by all his own people, and
by the king's court and Esther, his daughter.
He was dressed with royal apparel of blue and white.
(revelation and holiness).
A great crown of gold (purified through many tests).
Fine white linen of consecration and purple for
kingship (the apostle anointing of delegated authority).
Fear from outside territory fell upon them in honor of
Mordecai.
He increased in fame.
He sought the wealth of God's people.
He spoke peace over God's people.
There will be a book of his many deeds done in power
and might after his promotion. They are recorded and not
forgotten.
WHAT MORDECAI TAUGHT ESTHER
To listen to the voice of wisdom and counsel. (Est
2:10; 2:15; 2:20)
To resist greed and remain simple in her focus to
please the King. (Est 2:15)
To submit to the voice of authority and humble herself
before such. (Est 2:15; 2:20)
To have faith in the favor extended her, to the point
she would be willing to risk rejection and death. (Est
4;8)
To be a divine deliverer through the intercession of
requests, begging and favor extended her. (Est 4:8; 5:7)
Speak only when summoned by her King. (Est 4:11)
To have self discipline (Est 4:15) and....
To cross the boundaries of protocol only for God's
higher purpose. (Est 4:14)
The confirmation of her faith, to recognize her
purpose for such a time as this. (Est 4:14)
THE DIVINE EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE ROLES OF MORDECAI AND
ESTHER -
They birthed one another
He did not know that she had the seed of God's DNA
impregnated into her to be a deliverer of God's people.
He adopted her and raised her in fatherly advice and
counsel.
He protected and covered her in her naοvetι and did
not exploit it or take advantage of it.
She most likely cooked his meals, scripture says
nothing that he had any other family.
He trained, then released her from his home, into her
opportunity that was beyond his reach.
In so performing these sacrifices, he birthed her into
her place.
He was faithful to continue to check for news of her
well being. (Est 2:10)
They both waited upon God during the time of
preparation. (Est 2:10-12)
She in turn walked out her time of preparation,
carrying the weight of his words in her heart. (Est
2:10-15)
He preferred to stay hidden, quietly behind the scenes
but she knew his destiny was to learn the authority that
she too was walking in.
As she walked in her authority, she birthed him into
his own destiny of deserved promotions and honors.
They listened to one another. He gave her counsel as
to when not to reveal her secret and when to reveal it.
He heeded her commission of intercession for God's
people, to fast and pray for 3 days.
Finally they worked together as highest in authority
next to the King, to serve God's people and all in the
land.
Their hearts were to bring wealth and peace to His
people.
WORD TO PONDER: MORDECAI'S PROMOTION 10/21/06
I AM releasing those who have operated in the Mordecai
anointing to come into their spiritual promotion. Having
been faithful to raise intercessory daughters through
loving gifts of wisdom and counsel and then having
released them into their destinies in My kingdom, those
daughters in turn release the Mordecai anointing into
its well deserved enlargement.
The Mordecai's suffered demonic backlash in the midst of
remaining faithful to My Word and vigilant watchfulness
over My daughters. The wicked assignments have fallen
and the tables have turned. Great rejoicing in the
heavenly realm continues with anticipation for the
revealing of new anointings, new authority and new
positions. Both will work together with the King in
highest authority to serve for the good of His people.
Est 10:3 NLT
Mordecai the Jew became the prime minister, with
authority next to that of King Xerxes himself. He was
very great among the Jews, who held him in high esteem,
because he worked for the good of his people and was a
friend at the royal court for all of them.
