Today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't wait to take. God's word, is your answer today I want to talk to you how you've been raised up for such a time as this, God has called you as an Esther. Now, I'm not talking gender specific, just to women. This is an anointing, this is a position, it's a posture that God, could he be raising you up and putting you in a place for his kingdom purpose? Just before we get in the word, I want to read you a praise report. Remember, you can go to Paulowhite.org at any single time and send me your prayer requests and your praise reports. But I love this. This is from Mr. Ruan says. Dear Pastor Paula, thank you so much for all your prayers and thank you, Lord Jesus. He has blessed me greatly and erased my debt of $11,700. Praise the Lord and thank you. Thank you again, Pastor Paula and the church for your prayers and all that you do. I'm so excited. If God did it for one, he'll do it for another. Let's believe God for your breakthrough through, for your release, for your favor says we get into the book of Esther. And I believe by the spirit of God prophetically that I'm here to speak to you. Remember, she's a young orphan girl. She's put into this beauty pageant and of all these women that pampered and had all this gold and jewelry and pompous on them, she was not noticed because of this outwardness. She was noticed by the king and, and chosen to be the queen because God was with her. There was an inner beauty. And I believe that you're carrying something that makes you great, that spiritually you are a bright light and that God has a purpose and a position for you. And I don't want you to miss your moment. So let's see how this works. How does God raise up this girl from obscurity and make her historically one of the most important people, not just to the salvation of one or two or a family, but but to an entire nation and to the plan of God. Could it be that all that you have gone through has prepared you for what is a predicament or a problem? You are the solution for God. The tragedies in your life are going to cause you to eventually triumph. Who knows? Maybe you have come to God's kingdom for such a time as this. Now let's get into the word Esther. 4, 13, 17. Then Mordecai commanded to answer, Esther, think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house more than all the Jews. For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then shall their enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place. So God says, deliverance is coming. Breakthrough is coming. But if you don't get in position, if you don't carry the posture of the mantle that I've placed on you, Esther, and you and your family will perish. You'll miss out. But I'm going to continue with my plan. Hear what God's saying. He says that this deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed. And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? The Spirit of God is asking you the same question right now. Then Esther bade them return. Mordecai, this answer. Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan and fast for me. Don't eat or drink for three days, night or day, I also, and my maidens will fast likewise. And so will I go unto the king, which is not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther had commanded him. Now watch here, she said, look, God's plan is so important that if it cost me my life, it costs me my life. That's the first thing you have to say. Are you completely sold out? Are you ready to partner with God in the earth to be used by him in a big way? Are you ready to stand in the gap that history will record the acts of you and your family, whether it was pertaining to your finances or your gifting or your talent or your beauty, or whatever it is that God is going to use for him, his name's sake. Because God has a plan, and that plan is always working. And I believe that you are part of God's plan. Who knows whether you've come to the kingdom for such a time as this? It's your moment. It's your time. Don't miss it. Everything that you've gone through has been in preparation, which means to be cut in advance. No such thing as coincidence. You have been prepared for something greater. That is the purpose or the intention. The plan of God. Matthew, chapter 6, verse 10 says, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done. Where in the earth as it is in heaven. So the will of God, thy kingdom come, thy will. The will of God is the determination of God. It means choice in the Greek. It means purpose in the earth. Now it's an interesting thing because the determination, the purpose, the intention of God be done in the earth. The Greek word is epi. Epi. It means to superimpose in time, place and order, as it is in I, in heaven. But the Greek word there is ein. So though they're both in, in the English, they're two different words. So the will of God comes in the earth superimposed, the determination, the intention, the plan, the purpose of God as it is in heaven. The word ian denotes a fixed position in place, in time and in state. So in other words, the kingdom of God comes to the earth where everything has forced compliance by the power of prayer to superimpose the determination, the purpose and the choice of God. It was God's determination to raise this orphan girl up because Vashti, the former queen, had disobeyed the king. God created an opportunity. There's all these providences, all these hundreds of women, beautiful women. And God has determined for this young orphan girl to be put in this position who will completely obey. Now, what's the first thing Mordecai says to do prayer, pray and fast. So if you're going to be in position for the purpose and plan of God, it comes along with prayer and fasting, because those two things combined force compliance of God's will in the earth. So you start praying. Pray the word, pray in the name of Jesus. Because what's been fixed in heaven, you are responsible to superimpose here in the earth. And that is done by prayer. Prayer. God raises up his people to seize divine opportunity for his kingdom, for his purpose. Don't you feel it right now? This is a kingdom time in the earth, right now. Think about Joseph, how God used him. He was in prison and he had favor. He was in Potiphar's house, he had favor. He goes for the Pharaoh and he has favor. He stands as a prime minister. Basically he's over all administration. He'd be like, I guess, the treasurer of Egypt. And so he was responsible that spared Israel. Think about Daniel. Daniel would not bow. He wouldn't eat the king's food, he wouldn't eat the Babylonians food. He wouldn't wear their garments. He would not do away with his covenant with God. And God raised him up. Esther, see, when you know who you are, you begin to see and understand the purpose that you serve. Now, purpose is an intention. It's your supreme reason for being. And this is really important because it is your why. In life, when you know your why, when you know your supreme reason for being, your circumstances are irrelevant. I was considered poor. I mean, some people called me trailer trash. I had this young little baby in this broken down trailer in a country town. Everything in the natural was against me. Kind of like Esther. But when you know who you are, your circumstances, your bank account, your social status is irrelevant. Because if you're chosen by God and you submit yourself to his, yes, it will come to pass. Now let me show you how. In Jeremiah, chapter 1, verse 5, God declares, Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. And before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee and I ordained thee, a prophet unto the nations. So God begins to give us conceptually and through his Word. When a person is chosen, it's prior to you even taking your first breath. So God says, I, God formed you. The Hebrew word is yoster and it means squeezing into shape to mold as a potter. I formed you. I squeezed you. And he said, I sanctified you. Which means to set apart, to dedicate and to prepare. So God strategically squeezes you into shape and prepares you for the work for such a time as this. That's why you cannot curse your crisis. Because everything you went through, you would not be who you are. What formed my character, what formed my ability to stand in the midst of adversity and to outlive it, outlast it, to not give up, the ability to persevere, the ability for difficult assignments is the challenges, the hardships that I went through. If God delivered me out of one thing, he'll deliver me out of another. The same with you. You see, there's a work that you've been fabricated to perform. It's your purpose. And in order to align yourself individually to the assignment of God, then you have to comprehend corporately what is God doing. Because you're not like you're the end all. It's all about you. No, it's all about God. And then it's all about where do I fit into the plan of God. And if God called you to be the servant to Naaman, remember Naaman was a leper. And the little servant girl, we don't even know her name, told her to, told him to go wash in the Jordan. And here's this, you know, multi starred, like general here's this great man. And this servant is being used for the kingdom of God to bring healing to Naaman. I could go on and on and tell you example after example, but you understand it's not about you being the top brass. It's about you being in position. And that might be speaking to the top brass, or it might be being the top brass. Whatever it is that God has called you, your individual plan always fits in to the big plan of God. So the question is, where are we in the kingdom of God? Because that's what this book is all about. This book from Genesis to Revelation is Jesus came to give us a kingdom because in that kingdom, all his covenant promises, all his laws, from Genesis 1 all the way to the end of Revelation. So we have to be able to discern how God is moving, what he's prompting us to do, and how to position ourselves accordingly. Have you ever noticed, like, you'll go to church and your pastor will preach a message, and then you'll turn on three other preachers and they are preaching the same thing. It's not like they all called each other. The Spirit is moving. And when the Spirit of God is moving, deep, calls deep, and it's speaking spirit to spirit. So the Holy Spirit's downloading to those who have an ear to hear, the ability to then speak that and get that out, whether it's a preacher or a business person. God doesn't just use people behind pulpits. He uses all of us. So where are we? Well, we know we're in transitional days. We know we've crossed over, but those sometimes are the biggest, biggest battles. Transition means you've left one place and you're entering another. We know that we're in a new era. We know that this is not just like a move for this year, that this is a era that we're moving into. And I started preaching this a couple years ago, that things have changed. There's a change, changing of the guard. And so you've seen that everything that can be shaken will be shaken. And so when you transition and you move from one place to another, the Greek word is metathesis, and it means removing. Meta means to change. Thesis is a statement laid down to be argued about. So a metathesis, which is everything that can be shaken will be shaken. The Book of Hebrews. Metathesis implies translating or picking up of the thing that's been laid down and setting it in an altogether different context. Now, stop. Think about it. Let's go back to 1990, something 2000. If I would have said to you in 1990, Donald Trump is going to be president, you would You've lost your mind.

If I would have said to you that, you know, take it, take whatever relevant culture thing is 20 years ago about social media or SpaceX or just the culture, the way things are, you would have said absolutely no, this, this. And so, because it was a different time. So when you're in a meta thesis, it's a complete shaking, like ripping up the foundation of one thing and putting it in an all together different context. So you remove those things which can be shaken, which are created, man made in order that those things which cannot be shaken, which are eternal, may remain. And that's the transition we've been in. That's why it's been so intense. Who would have thought we would have gone through a global pandemic? Not just America with the political scene, but the whole world. Who would have thought governments like in Canada and Germany and you can continue to name them would virtually collapse? Who would have thought those things? You'd think we're reading history books about thousands of years ago, but you are creating history. And you've been raised up for such a time as this. God is putting people in position. You look at these Christian moms that are now prime ministers in countries. So this is what I'm talking about, transition. Don't limit God. Don't think small right now, don't look at it and go, oh, I'm in purpose because I'm breaking debt over. And that's wonderful to break debt. But there's a bigger plan and that's beneficial to you, beneficial to your family, and may be beneficial to the kingdom. But could it be that God wants to use you to harvest the world? That God wants to use you because there are sheep nations, goat nations, wolf nations, for whatever reason or whatever plan that is, that God wants to use you on some massive level of doing something great for his kingdom? You see, here's how it works. Quantum physics teaches us chaology. So what looks like chaos? God had this big plan, right? He's going to start the world and he has the waters and he forms them. And water is always chaos. Because God starts with chaos. It's dark, it's. Everything's destroyed, it's chaos. And that's chaology. What looks like chaos on the surface actually has a pattern that is moving toward this intended end. So it's found in Genesis 1. Like I saying, in the beginning, the earth was void, it was dark, the spirit of God moved. Everybody says, just speak to your situation. But there has to be a move of God's spirit and Then God spoke, and he started with chaos, turbulence, which means this. To agitate mentally or spiritually, to cause inconvenience, wild commotion, irregular atmospheric motion, especially when characterized by up and down currents. Have you seen that? I mean, think about what I just said. Has there been this inconsistency? Has there been some wild motion in the earth? Has there been the things that I just described? That's chaos. And out of that comes cosmic, which is order. When you see that happening in the earth, you know, orders coming. Now think about what's happening. A lot of young women have fallen away from church, but there is a return to church in the groves. Who's it by right now? Young men. It's men. That's order. I get excited about it as partially. I believe that God's allowed me to be. Be walking this purpose of an Esther, but also like a Deborah, when village life ceased, I, Deborah, arose. Why men were not occupying their position. God has an order. And the man is the head of a house. The man's ahead. Of a church, man's ahead. It doesn't mean that. That you're not valuable and useful. You're so valuable as a woman or a man. But there is an order to everything. So what's happening right now, when you see the chaos, it's not a setback, it's a setup. It means orders around the corner. Don't miss this moment. Esther, you've been raised up for such a time as this. And I believe that God is about to bring generational blessing to your family, generational blessing to your children. I believe you're about to change some things, shift some things of the earth. That your community, your city, that your nation is about to see the glory of God in an unprecedented way. And remember, Micah 7, 8 says, Rejoice not against me, O my enemy, when I fall, not if. So you see all this chaos happening. Think about the presidential election in America. What? You know the story, 2020, President Trump's kicked out of the White House. Then it looks like it's over, right? Lawsuit after lawsuit, attempted assassinations. I mean, you could go on just about all the things that were against him. He says, hey, don't rejoice just yet, O my enemy, when I fall. Now, I want you to apply this to your life. I apply it to my life not. If I shall arise, I'll come into my being, bounce back, continue. When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be light to. To me. That's so important, because falling does not mean failure. Falling doesn't mean it's over. It's part of the process. And what the prophet is saying, don't have the party yet, Satan. Don't have the victory yet. The Bible says they would have never crucified Jesus had they known about the resurrection. They would have never come after you in the way they did had they known that you were walking out purpose. You see all the attack you've gone through, all the things that they've tried to hold you back with, it's only formed you for what God is. Positioning. I believe I'm talking to an Esther right now. This is not gender specific. It's about posture, it's about position. It's about a mantle that God's placed on you. And without knowledge of your identity, it's difficult to ever embrace your destiny. But when I know who I am, I have an intuitive awareness of God's purpose and destiny in my life and the path that must be taken to get there. That's why everyone can say, no, that's crazy. It's not you. I'll never forget. Somebody once told me, they said, people called me Esther. They had said, and I was in this group of ladies, very influential ladies, etc. And I was at an outing thing with John and, and someone said kind of to the, to the likes of this, they said, like, that's so lofty. Don't dare think you're that. And I went back to the room and I thought to myself, I'm not that arrogant or that prideful to think that. But I embrace humbly who God has created me to be. And I don't reject it because I know that every day in my life I'm here to partner with, with God and so are you. And there will be haters. There will be people that will say, not you. They did it to Esther, they did it to Joseph, they did it to David, they did it to Daniel. Why would you be any different? And what Esther said is, look, I might die for fulfilling this purpose, but I will die for you, God, to fulfill this purpose. And you're not, you're not going to die unless God says you're going to die and then you're not going to live. If God says you're going to die, in other words, get up every day, partner with God, embrace the radical disorientation, the chaos, knowing that it's bringing creative transformation, the cosmos. And if not you, then who? You have to be like Esther. You are also sent to the kingdom for such a time as this. In this special season, we're in God is putting you in position for a purpose that was determined from the foundations of creation. In March begins the festival of Purim in Israel, which commemorates the victory for Israel won over the forces of evil by Queen Esther. The same with you. God is posturing you for such a time as this, that every evil force against your family, against your generations, against your bloodline, against this nation, against what God has assigned to you, is going to be overcome in the name of Jesus. And during this feast, the Jewish people will gather together in celebration in Israel and around the world, and in commemoration of the saving of the Jewish people from Haman who had plotted to kill all the Jewish people. This is a day of deliverance, and on this day I want to pray along with my ministry staff and agree with you for your deliverance and your freedom from the forces of darkness. And also specific declarations of favor over you. Just like Esther, this is a time to sow and to plant a deliverance seed to be in position for increase to activate it. And if you're able to, I'm challenging you to sow $133 for Proverbs 1:33. But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease without fear of harm. If you absolutely cannot join in sowing $133 for Proverbs 1:33. Because I believe it's so important to stand on God's word, then sow your very best as you sow a favor seed today. A $52 or more standing on Esther 5:2. For she obtained favor in the king's sight. This is an act of faith, just like Queen Esther did in reaching out to touch the top of the king's scepter in faith in Esther, chapter five, verse two. It's the chief place. It's the same thing as touching Jesus. Touch the top and maybe you can stand with me and give a sacrificial offering to stand with Paul Paula White Ministry I need you right now, Esther 4:14. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place. But you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. God can open it up just like that. He can give you more than what you've asked for. Whatever you can give, do so. I want to hold your response in my hands. I want to physically touch your prayer requests in my hands. I want to intercede for you as I lift it up before God. Get ready as you discover the Spirit vestor for your life. Remember this is not gender specific. It is a posture. It's a position. It's a mantle. It's a calling that you will not miss your life moment. God wants to use you because you can make all the difference.

I think when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy and control, and so work allowed me to be me. So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.
