This message really stood out for me. It is quite powerful! Almost everybody here in the United States and also around the world need this message to help lift their spirits. This is part 1 of Pastor Paula White's message titled 'Thunder in the Bay'. Each segment is 10 minutes. I have only typed an 8 minute transcript for all of my international readers who need to use Babel Fish. I highly recommend that you listen to the remainder of this message. Allow this message to encourage you to stand strong in the face of adversity! Do NOT fear. Do NOT worry. Hand everything over to God, take your hands off of it, then Trust and Believe! Allow the Holy Spirit to keep you in perfect peace.
*************************************************
Well are you ready for the word? Somebody say 'bring it on, bring it on'. Stand with me and go to Isaiah chapter 54. I am really here to prophetically declare what thus saith the Lord. I was in the presence of God as I am everyday many months ago and God said there is a window of opportunity coming to the body of Christ for favor to be established in an unprecendented way for the Glory of the Lord to go across the earth.
I began to recognize that God's was opening doors. Opening doors to believers. Then I began to see in the marketplace and Hollywood and political and governments that were strategic. And you say Paula what does that have to do with me? God is about to give you access to the principle. I mean He is going to give access to the body of believers in an unprecendented way for His Glory to be established. Favor is about to visit YOU! Favor is about to find YOU! And open doors that NO MAN can shut! And what God has established NO MAN can come against. Somebody say 'show me Lord, show me'.
So I am here to set you up for the increase that is already at hand. About two weeks ago God spoke to me and said 'the winds of change have already occured. It is not a new season that is coming to the body of Christ. That season is already here and I believe that season is full of potential, blessings, for favor, undeserved access to open doors that have been shut off for God to establish His Glory. And it is the GREATEST time to be ALIVE! Slap somebody and say 'You won't recognize me one month from now.'
Isaiah 54, very familiar portion of scripture chapter 54 verses 1 to 5. It says, 'Sing oh barron. Thou that does not bare. Break forth into singing and cry out loud. Thou that does not travail with child. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitation. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall inherit the gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. FEAR NOT, for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither thou be confounded. For thou will not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth.'
You know all of those mistakes you have made God said it is not only going to be over, it is forgotten. Never to be remembered not only by God but God is going to erase some things off of your record in the natural. Some things are getting ready to come off of your life and fall off of you.
'And shall not remember the reproach of the widowhood anymore' and this is the reason why verse 5. 'For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of Hosts is His name and Thy redeemer the Holy One of Israel. The God of the whole earth He be called. Let's look at verse 2, 'ENLARGE the place of your tent.' In other words, God is getting ready to move you into a place of increase. Put those stakes in, enlarge, increase, take the limitations off of the Holy One of Israel. If I were Bishop Jakes, I'd say 'Get ready, Get ready, Get ready'.
You better get ready because there is increase. Ready or not you are going to own the company. Ready or not your Boaz is going to find you. Ready or not your ministry is going to explode. God is getting ready to pull you out of isolation and out of obscurity and lift you up to notoriety. And it has nothing to do with your good looks, your charisma, your personality, your education or your influence! It has to do with the Glory of God established in you to show people that God is God. He is getting ready to do something so GREAT in your life, bring forth so much fruit. Your not even going to recognize yourself. Come on you should speak to yourself and say 'I'm not even going to recognize me'. God is getting ready to do something so significant. You better say 'Show me Lord, show me'.
It's going to explode on the inside of you tonight and begin to manifest itself out of you over the next several days, several weeks, several months. In our text, the connotation of this text is that the church had a narrow way of thinking. They had a limited mindset. They were confined within the narrow limitations. I found out over several years of ministry that the church does not have a provision problem. We have a revelation problem. And so it is not that there is no provision for you. It is have YOU SEEN what God has already established in your life? There is a revelation problem. Somebody say 'OPEN MY EYES Lord, Open my eyes'. But God was about to supernaturally increase the children of Israel. He was about to enlarge them beyond anything they have ever known before. And He uses a proverbial cast to suggest that there would be such great increase, that that of a barron female woman would bring forth more children than that of a married woman. In other words, God was about to do something so unusual and unlikely. He would use things that people did not count on. He would use and do something so significant with something that seemed so unlikely.
What God was saying is I AM about to breathe upon something barron, something lacking, something broken. And through My breathing upon this they will produce more children and more fruit than that which is already productive which is already fruitful. In other words, God is getting to breath upon every barron place in your life. That marriage that is broken and heading to divorce court, God is going to supernaturally breathe upon it tonight. God is getting to somebody who is facing foreclosure, bankruptcy and doesn't know how you are going to pay your bills by the end of the month, you are going to stand back and walk in position before the year is over as the Head and NOT the tail. God can raise you up Supernaturally through Divine intervention. He can do what man, what the economy, what the government cannot do for you.
God is going to take all of your mess and people who had given up on you and said they are not ministry material and He is going to bring you out of the ashes, out of the dunghill and He is going to set your feet on a SOLID ROCK! And He is going to open doors that no man can shut that you are going to walk through and people are going to say HOW. You'll be saying 'I'm just blessed by God'. Divine intervention. Supernatural provision. Supernatural increase. By a Holy God. In other words, this is the ONE TRUTH I want you to get tonight and I'm going to build everything around this TRUTH. The LIFE God put you in is BIGGER than the LIFE you are living in right now. Let it hit your spirit. There is more ahead of you than there is behind you. There is much more; more peace, more provision, more annointing, more goodness, more protection, more doors. In other words, you have to come up to your revelation and stop living by your situation. God is going to pull you up tonight through the word of the Lord.
