God’s saying to you tonight church; BelieversWay, Midland, Permian Basin…you’re not riding on the places He wants you to ride. You’ve only tapped in here and there maybe a little bit. God has some high places, some heights for you to go to, some places for this church to walk in. And as I opened my Bible this particular morning, I read that scripture and I wrote this down; the Lord is in this verse. So take that, Isaiah 58…this is your assignment, this coming week, Isaiah 58, verse 14; delight yourself in the Lord and He will cause you, He will make you, God will make you. You don’t have to make this happen yourself. You can’t make the oil prices go up. You can’t make yourself get a promotion. You can’t make your boss listen to reason. You can’t make yourself get healed. No, God makes you! The anointing makes you! When you yield to it, it takes over, it overwhelms you. It will make you! The word makes you free! It doesn’t set you free; it recreates you into a place of freedom! God’s wanting to make some things out of you! Because I heard the spirit of the Lord say this awhile ago. You sent out a president from this place; oh, you seemed to have made a mark…you seemed to come on the map once or twice before. Yeah, there’s been a boom here and a boom there. But is this not the Permian Basin? Is this not the sea bed of this region? There is a weight, a weightiness, a fullness that God is wanting to settle; as the Permian Basin used to be a sea bed. There is a resting place that God has in the spirit realm for here. And you are the facilitator for that. You are the facilitator for the resting place and the anointing, the spirit of God is saying to you tonight, for His presence to come and to fill and to overflow and to mark this place far more than any oil boom ever has; far more than any name of a president ever could. God is wanting to fill this place and I believe it starts with you. I believe God has brought this body together; you’ve gone through some situations and challenges and now here you are tonight. Oh, keep going church…don’t stop now! Keep pressing in! Keep pressing in to know Him. The presence of God wants to consume this Permian Basin as an ocean once did. Hallelujah! Hallelujah, that’s who you are! God’s singling you out! I’m not speaking this because I work for BelieversWay Ministries. God is exposing and revealing some things and He’s going to be doing that these next few days, and even in your own life; because you’ve got to be overwhelmed. God is wanting to overwhelm some things now. See, the word says in Isaiah, chapter 60 says that gross darkness will overtake the people. But not you! When there’s a grossness of darkness that’s going to continue to grow and be heavier and darker and more oppressive, oh, in the years to come. And within two years, you’re going to see such a heaviness, and such a darkness. But oh, the Lord said; the glory of the Lord is rising up. Rise up church! Allow the glory of the Lord to rise up on you! And that’s who you are in this Basin. You are a basin of the presence of God. How far out has the oil gone from this place do you think? Around the world? How far out has the reputation? See, you gave birth to a president from this area; who was man for an hour of crisis. I’m convinced. I know, he was put in that office for an hour of crisis; to pick up that phone and he knew exactly how to handle this thing. You may not like his policies right now, can I get over into some politics? He has allowed Israel to do what Israel is allowed to do. But the word says; that Israel can and should do. But what God is wanting to take from this Basin; you nameless names and faceless faces…you…nobodies! Lay your head back on the chest of your Savior and find out who you really are. Hallelujah!
