This month is about celebrating the goodness of God. It is also about speaking, thinking, and meditating on His truth instead of being ruled by fear and worry. The highlight of this month is the feast of Purim on Adar 14 (evening of March 13–evening of March 14, 2025). The order had been given for the Jewish people to be destroyed all through the Persian empire. There seemed to be no hope, but God had a plan and executed it at exactly the right time through Queen Esther and her older cousin Mordecai. The result was overwhelming victory and great increase and prosperity for the Jewish people. From then on, joyful celebration of Purim was a must.
This is an important lesson for us. It can be so easy to worry because of seemingly increasing problems in the world. For example, we see the rise of “wokeism,” that in some ways sounds so good, but with a little digging one can see the spirit behind it is a way of thinking that seems to hate the things God loves and love the things He hates. But we are not to worry. We are to keep our eyes on Him.
One great help will be to develop the habit of daily singing prophetically to the Lord. As we worship Him this way, “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24), we will find ourselves strengthened in spirit, as well as being drawn ever closer to Him and His truth. It’s His truth that will continually keep setting us free.
1. Month of the tribe of Naphtali, which means “sweetness to me.” Deuteronomy 33:23 states, “Naphtali is abounding with favor of the Lord.” Think this truth in your heart, and speak it and watch it come to pass in your life.
Declare: “I am abounding with the favor of the Lord.”
2. Month of eloquent communication and expressions of joy and laughter. Genesis 49:21 states, “Naphtali is a deer let loose; he uses beautiful words.” The Holy Spirit will help us find words to fully express God’s goodness. This not only solidifies our faith, but also opens the eyes of others to the goodness of God.
Declare: “The Holy Spirit continually gives me good things and words of grace to say.”
3. Month of Pisces, the fishes. Some scholars feel the two fish represent the two sons of Joseph. As such, we could say they are a symbol of multiplication while in a foreign land. Interestingly, Jesus multiplied two fish and five loaves to feed the 5,000 (see Matthew 14:13–21). Etymologically, one of the root words of “Purim” may be linked with another root form, “pru,” whose meaning connotes “to be fruitful and multiply.” So, expect multiplication and increase in every area of your life.
Declare: “God is making me fruitful and is giving me the ability to multiply and increase this month.”
4. God has cycles to help us come into our identity. What we are in our spirit will be reflected physically. Some of God’s tools to help us enter our identity include celebration, expressing our thankfulness, and family. The more I find my place in His family, the more my true identity emerges. It’s also why God wants to restore our natural families.
Declare: “The more I celebrate, the more I enter into my true identity.”
5. The month of the letter kaf (כ), which looks like a mask. It’s a time to remove any masquerade and enter into laughter. Enter into the true joy of who you are. We need to remove any mask and be ourselves. Rejoicing is one of the most important tools for “mask removal.”
Declare: “The more I rejoice, the more ‘masks’ fall off.”
6. A month to overturn anxiety over your supply. If you remove anxiety, then you can see your supply. But if you are ruled by anxiety, then you can miss the provision God has for you (see Phil. 4:6–7) [1]. Every time you feel anxiety rising, just remind yourself that God is your source and He is always faithful.
Declare: “The moment I feel anxious about supply, I will immediately declare God is my provider.”
7. The month of laughter, abounding joy, the witnessing of life entering into darkness, the advantage of light over darkness, the power of barrenness being broken. No matter what the darkness is, laugh and watch God permeate it. Light permeates darkness. When we see this, barrenness will break. Begin to laugh at fear (see Ps. 34:4–6) [2]. Try it. Is some fearful thing oppressing you? Laugh at it.
Declare: “The joy of the Lord is my strength. My laughter breaks barrenness and activates God’s promises to come to fulfillment.”
8. The month of the spleen. Pull out any roots of depression and despair so that faith can break through into our thought processes.
Declare: “Depression and despair have no place in me.”
9. The month Moses was born. Your deliverance is forming. Take a look at whatever is holding you captive and declare God’s truth. Declare He is already forming deliverance and freedom for you, and that it is on the way (see Exod. 2:10) [3].
Declare: “Jesus has made me free. For any remaining bondage in my life, deliverance is already under way.”
10. The feast of Purim. This feast originates with Esther. The devil inspired Haman to get an edict decreeing all the Jews in the Persian empire were to be slaughtered on Adar 13. God had placed Esther as wife of the emperor “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). The edict couldn’t be reversed, but because of her the Jews were permitted to defend themselves. Adar 13 (March 13), which would have been a day of annihilation, turned into two days of great victory over their enemies (Esther asked that the king’s boon be extended another day). From then on, Adar 14 (March 14), became the Feast of Purim. Daily celebrate that every plan of the enemy against you has already been overturned by Jesus. By celebrating, you enter into that victory.
Declare: “I celebrate God’s goodness, and every edict against me is broken in Jesus’s name.”
11. A month to develop your war strategy against the anti-Christ spirit. Don’t let the giants produce fear in you; guard against idolatry. Amalek will try to come. See Exodus 17:8–16.
One of the giants is the spirit behind “woke” philosophy, or the way of thinking that has so quickly risen up in most Western nations, especially since Covid in early 2020. One of its main tactics is fear about what might happen. Much of major media goes along with this, and when something goes against this “woke” agenda or thought, it is reported in a way to induce fear. We must be like Moses. When Moses’s hands were held up, Israel prevailed. For us, this means we can keep our “hands raised” by staying in faith and joy. Our eyes are on Him. He is ruler of all.
Declare: “Whenever I sense fear or worry come, I will raise my hands in faith and declare all things are in His hands.”
12. A time for wrong decrees to be broken off of you. If wrong decrees are heeded to, they will encircle you and will cause others to say the same negative things about you. You need to break off the negative things decreed about you. I suggest praying and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal some wrong decrees, both self-made and “others-made.” Forgive those who uttered them, put the blood of Jesus on those wrong decrees, and then break them in His name.
Declare: “I forgive those who have ‘cursed’ me. I break off every wrong decree over my life.”
13. A time for leadership to awaken. Next month they go to war.
Declare: “I am a leader, and I am arising.”
