TODAY'S SCRIPTURE READING
"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city."
Mark 6:11 KJV

THE LIFE OF JOSEPH – LESSON 19
JOSEPH SOLIDIFIES PHARAOH’S POWER
We see in Genesis 47:1-12 that Joseph now has Israel safely secured in the best fertile land of Egypt at two years into the great famine of the Middle East. We will now look at the wisdom of how Joseph ruled for the benefit of Pharaoh who honored Joseph like a father. (Genesis 45:8)
During the seven good years Joseph had stored massive amounts of grain, their primary food source. Now seven years of famine were upon them just as God had told him.
Genesis 47:13 begins today’s lesson. The famine was very severe in its first year. It affected Egypt and Canaan, and likely most of the Middle East. Joseph began opening storehouses to sell grain for food. Word spread quickly, which is how Jacob had learned of it.
The Egyptians came with money in hand to buy food that first year. They continued to buy until their money was spent, but they were still clamoring for food. They gave Pharaoh their horses, cattle, asses, and any other herds they had. That all happened in the first year.
The second year they had nothing left to offer for food. All money and livestock were gone. They made a different offer. They said in verse 19, “Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land be not desolate.” So, they sold themselves into servitude and gave Pharaoh legal ownership of all the land. The only land that remained with its owner was that which the priests owned because they had special favor with Pharaoh.
This consolidated Pharaoh’s power over all of Egypt. Previously, considerable power was wielded by the Lords and Nobles of the land, but their power was now gone. This is what Joseph accomplished for Egypt and Pharaoh.
With Pharaoh’s new ownership of the land, as Pharaoh’s ruler, Joseph was now able to give Israel the best of the land. A year earlier he would have had no legal authority to give it away.
God had orchestrated everything to bless Israel. He can also orchestrate things in your life for your favor. The timing of it is in His hands.

THE EYE GATE
I loved to play games with my children. I would play I spy, and they had to figure out what I was looking at. We would play water games like Marco Polo, and they would have to find out where I was. They were supposed to shut their eyes, but I know they “peeked”. It is human nature to want to see.
Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to look at fruit on the tree of “knowledge of Good and Evil.” It looked “pleasant to the eyes.” (Genesis 3:6.) That is exactly what Satan does now, he wants us to look when we should train our eyes to withdraw and not look. He uses the internet for a lot of his “games.” You know, a little pornography or a little chat in a room with another woman or another man other than your own spouse. He always will tell you that a “little look” won’t hurt, but he is a liar. Once you take that first step it is harder and harder to withdraw from looking. Eventually the sin takes root, and you are “addicted” to “looking.”
The eye is the gate to the soul. It defines who we are. In Matthew 6:22-23 in the Amplified Bible it says, “The eye is the lamp of the body; so, if your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive] your whole body will be full of light [benefiting from God’s precepts]. But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts]. So, if the [very] light inside you [your inner self, your heart, your conscience] is darkness, how great and terrible is that darkness.” You see my friends, the eye is the gate where the light of God comes in or darkness comes in. We must make sure we look at the things that reflect the light of God.
Some are spiritually blind because in II Corinthians 4:4 it says: “…the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
If you have been looking at the wrong things, then repent, and train your eyes to look at what is pure, honest, lovely and of a good report. I assure you that your life will be much better when you do that. I am sure that Adam and Eve regretted every day of their lives after their fall. I wonder how often they said to each other, “If only we hadn’t looked.” They lived a long time after the fall, and I would attest that their lives were not easy. A son murdered another son. They no longer walked with God in the cool of the day, and they couldn’t go back to the “garden of Eden” where things were perfect. One “pleasant to the eyes” look is where it all started.
Don’t be deceived by what may look good with the natural eye. It just might cost you everything. Ask yourself this question, “Would Jesus look at it?” If not, then it isn’t good for you to look at either.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
For I would say to you today to be prepared. Be prepared. Be prepared in spirit, soul and body, for there will be many suddenlies happening in your future. Be prepared. Do not think that they would come without my telling you, for I guide my people by my Spirit saith the Lord. Be prepared, for there are times coming that would wrench the hardest of hearts. Be prepared saith the Lord. Open your spiritual ears to listen more than you have ever listened. For this is the hour of great deception upon the earth. This is the hour that the deceiver would whisper words of comfort when I have shouted prepare saith the Lord. This is not the hour to be at ease. This is the hour to be prepared. For had you prepared in the past, then you would have not been caught off guard. Many have been deceived into thinking all is well, but I would say, be prepared. This is the hour to draw closer to me and stay there saith the Lord. Tune into my Spirit and turn off those things that are bringing you discord and discontentment. For this is not the hour to listen to false words from false prophets. This is the hour to listen to me. I would say to you that this is the hour to come apart and be prepared for what is on the horizon. Do not be like the foolish virgins that thought they had sufficient when they did not. Be prepared saith the Lord for the hour of temptation is at hand. I will show you the way and I will guide you through but listen now more than ever before saith the Lord. Be prepared!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
5-7-2021
Most everywhere you turn these days you find peple that are hurting...Really hurting. They don't know what to do, where to go or what to say about it all; And their life is seeming utterly empty and vain. Many of them are full of questions that are desperately needing answers. Some are losing hope in people and in themselves; And even worse some are now almost to lose hope in God. Perhaps today you know someone who’re at the very end of their rope with everything and everyone; Or just maybe you’re feeling a little that way yourself. Well like the old saying goes and it still stands true today, "If you feel like you're at the end of your rope...Just tie a big ole knot in that rope and...”HOLD ON". Have you ever been there? Are you there now? If so, let the words from God's Holy Bible comfort you, give you peace and hope in your heart for today, for tomorrow and for your entire future. “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, plans to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11) Let me assure you that Jesus is the answer to every question of your heart; For only Jesus can truly satisfy the deep longing in your heart and your soul... Just trust Him...He will never fail you.
