Please click the links below to Esther 9:
Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Xerxes, near and far, to have them celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
Esther 9: 20 - 22
What I heard from Jesus today is: From extermination to salvation
You never know when Satan is going to attack but you need to know that God always want to save us from the attack just as it was in the Book of Esther.
How the Jews keep the feast of Purim give us some inspiration of how to confront with this kind of spiritual attack:
... to establish these days of Purim at their designated times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had decreed for them, and as they had established for themselves and their descendant in regard to their times of fasting and lamentation. Esther 9: 31
Remember, we are just human beings and we can not win over Satan, only God can. When Satan attack us it must be the best timing, best strategy and always in our spiritual "low tide". The method to move from extermination to salvation is in fasting and lamentation. I have seen so many cases of relationships being broken, people turning away from God or in deep depression under Satan's sudden attack. It is impossible to fight against "anger", "unforgiving", "insecurity", "darkness", "depression" and "jealousy". But if you are willing to repent, fast, pray and connect to various kind of spiritual support during this time you have a better chance to prevail.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Come and save us from all kinds of attack from the devil. Help us to remember and to be able to taste the sweetness and power of your salvation. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
