THE LIFE OF JOSEPH – LESSON 25
JOSEPH GOES HOME TO CANAAN
Joseph saw to the welfare of all Israel’s families until his death. He was seventeen years old when he was sold into slavery in Egypt. He was thirty years old when he was freed from prison and made the ruler over all of Egypt, answerable only to Pharaoh. We do not know his age when Israel moved to Egypt, but he was likely age forty or older. He died at age one hundred and ten. He lived to see his great-great grandchildren.
Before he passed away Joseph had his brethren swear an oath in Genesis 50:24-25, “24And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.”
When Joseph died, his body was embalmed in the Egyptian manner for royalty. It was placed in a coffin where it remained for more than four hundred years, awaiting burial in Canaan.
When Moses led Israel out of bondage from Egypt, Joseph’s coffin was taken with them. As they wandered forty years in the wilderness, Joseph’s coffin travelled with them. When Joshua crossed the Jordan River taking Israel into Canaan, Joseph’s coffin went with them. Seven years of war took place as Israel, under Joshua, conquered the land. Then it was time to bury Joseph’s bones in the promised land as they had sworn to do.
Joseph was buried in Shechem in a parcel of land that had been bought centuries earlier by his father Jacob. Shechem then became the land of inheritance for Joseph’s family as the family of his son Ephraim took it for a possession.
Roughly five hundred years later after King Solomon’s death, the United Kingdom of Israel was divided. Shechem became the capitol of the Northern Kingdom of Israel (10 and ½ tribes) under Jeroboam, while Judah (1 and ½ tribes) retained Jerusalem as its capitol under Rehoboam.
God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that the land of Canaan would be theirs forever remains valid today. A covenant is only terminated by the death of one of the covenant makers. God has not died to that covenant, and neither has Israel. All of that land will be restored to Israel in the future, including the land which other nations of the earth (and the United Nations) have taken away.
Nations that try to divide and take away land from Israel (and from God’s covenant) will be punished. It is so written in His word. We must always stand by Israel as a friend for then we are also “a friend of God” in so doing.

BEING A GOOD FORGETTER
Having counselled and ministered to hundreds of persons, I find that one of the hardest places many people find themselves in is the “past.” The victories, the heartaches, the defeats, the sin all cause one to live a defeated Christian life. There is not one person that hasn’t failed, because the scriptures tell us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” If you compared your life’s good deeds to a dart board it would mean that all of us “missed the mark.” No one hit the bulls’ eye. Being a sinner doesn’t let us off the hook, but there is a way out through the gift of God through salvation.
Once a person is saved, Satan can’t defeat him in that area because you are born again of incorruptible seed that that never dies. At the same time, he does bring tormenting thoughts of our past into our thought life. He peppers the human mind with all of the things that we did before salvation (and after) that are sin, and constantly reminds us of our failures.
The Apostle Paul had been zealous to destroy the people of “the way”, which is what they called the early Christians. He was there when Stephen was stoned, and ravaged households and destroyed many lives. Once he received salvation things changed for him, but the weight of his past bore heavy on him. In Philippians 3:13 (Amplified version) he said, “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” He learned that he had to let go of those things that he had done that had been repented of and move forward. If he didn’t,
he could never have been the successful apostle that he was.
Have you done that? Have you made the choice to “forgive yourself” for the things of your past? Yes, they may have been very wrong things, but if God forgives you and you don’t forgive yourself then you are putting yourself higher than God. You are then walking as the accuser of the brethren, like Satan does. Once you have repented of a sin it is washed away in the blood of Jesus. God remembers them no more. They are buried in the sea of forgetfulness to never be remembered. God never brings it up again. It is Satan that speaks to you of your past failures, not God.
If you struggle with this, then you need to ask God to help you. Quit begging him to forgive you for sins that you have already repented of. Tell Satan to back off with his tormenting lies and start walking as a good forgetter. If God has forgiven you then it is settled forever. Don’t let Satan’s lies control your mind. Being a good forgetter will give you a victorious Christian life!

Prophetic Word
May 15, 2015
A prophetic word given to Helen Sanders from the Lord.
There is a wind coming, again I would say, there is a wind coming, and I am in the wind. It shall come as surely as the sun rises and sets, and it shall produce what I call it to do. The wind shall bring change, and it shall change rapidly. It shall bring destruction and it shall bring restoration. The wind is of me; do not think that I will not be in the wind, for have I not said that I would blow on the houses of the dark side and blow things in such a way as to bring perversion out of this land? Have I not said that I would bring glory to the land and it shall rise and be upon the earth in such a way that you will know that I am God. Yes, there is a wind coming and it shall blow and cause shaking in such a way that there will be cleansing, a cleansing of the land. I have seen the sin and it comes into my nostrils, and it is a stench so great that I cannot stand the smell any more. I will bring judgment upon the land, and it shall be cleansed. Oh that my people would have brought the word in a mighty way so that I do not have to bring judgment, but they have failed, and they have gone the way of the world. I have wept, I have prayed, I have interceded for the people, but to no avail. They have called good evil, and evil good. I have wept much, but it is now time for cleansing, and I will bring it. It shall come suddenly, and there shall be much wailing and crying in the streets. There shall be much pointing of the finger, saying “where is God”, and they shall know where I am. I am in the cleansing and I am in the wind. I have had many cry unto me, but the sounds of their cries are far outweighed by the sound of the rebellious nation that I am soon to cleanse. Why would you not see that I hate sin? Why would you not see that I have called your nation to repentance, and it would not? Yes, there is a remnant, but there are fewer than you think saith the Lord, and I will preserve the remnant, but they shall see that their prayers will be rewarded by the cleansing of this land. The wind will blow at all four corners. There shall be shaking and twisting and uprooting of the sin that has been a stench in my nostrils, and the land will be redeemed by this wind. I have said it would come, and it is at the door. Prepare yourselves for the time is short. Make ready for the coming of this wind, and stand strong in my faith, for the cleansing shall be as the wind that uprooted the house that stood on sand. It shall fall, and it shall be crushed when the winds come. Prepare yourselves like you have never done before. There are many that need to hear my word, and be saved from destruction, but there are many that will not hear. The wind is coming saith the Lord. The wind is coming. Be prepared saith the Lord.
Many are saying "why is God allowing this?" My friends it isn't God that is allowing this. We have brought into this country a religion that is based on hate, and it is determined to take us down. Why were they allowed in? The answer is simple. We as the Church have not shared Christ with friends and families. We sit back in our houses and spend our time on frivolous things that are empty and have no life in them, while our nation turns itself away from God. We blame others and don't take responsibility for our own sin. Yes, sin my friends. Sin is so rampant in the streets. there is no REPENTANCE in the Church and in this nation. God has warned us over and over yet we refuse to change. Things are going to get a lot worse, and the freedom we have had is going to be gone. You may call yourself Christian, but are living in fornication, which is sex outside marriage, and adultery, which is sex with someone other than your husband or wife. You may think that it is okay, but God calls it sin. Many are into pornography and are drunkards. There will be none of these in Heaven. Repent, and turn back to God before he says "I never knew you". Many mock God and blaspheme. Evil is called good and good called evil. This is what the Bible said it would be like before Christ returns. Wake up, repent, get right with God before it is too late. Sad to say I don't see a great revival coming to America the way some say. God is judging this nation, and out of the judgment will come a remnant. We are living in the days of Noah. Just like then evil was continual. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Why would we think it won't happen here?

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
5-12-2021
It really matters who you’re around in life. Such as where you go to church and who you associate with in all areas of your life. It’s vitally important that you attend the right church with a gifted and spirit led pastor; One who is fully capable of recognizing your strong points and who’s then able to pull out from you the gifts that are hidden deep inside of you. Today many good folks are at the wrong church where leadership has absolutely no spiritual insight; Nor do they have proper training to help them to develop a parishioner’s gifting. However, a great portion of folks will stay in a stale place, never moving into their own purpose and destiny. You see your destiny depends on location, location, location. So locate the right people and they in turn will locate who you are, where you are now and where you really need to be. As they do this they’ll help to pull you into right places, with right faces and help you locate your gifts. It’s only then that they can help you to fulfil all that you were created to be and to do. Just know this...It takes someone who first recognizes and understands what's inside of you BEFORE they can pull it out. (or draw out of you) You’ll always be frustrated as long as you’re in an environment (church or work place) where the leaders have no clue what God has placed inside of you; And the real truth of the matter is most of them don’t really care. Many times you maybe feeling as if you’re stuck and you're not going anywhere; But it's not because you don't have anything in you...However, it is simply because you're not around someone who’s capable of recognizing and identifying that which is in you and then pull it out of you. Yes, draw it out of you, then utilize the gift by helping to mature that gift. So many preachers today don't want you to upset their man made apple cart because they want to continue having church as usual. However, in this day like never before, God is looking for a church, for a leader who will listen to His voice and let Him (God) have His way. It’s time for you to closely examine your surroundings; And if you're not in a place where Jesus is Lord and services are God lead and not man ran...And where they recognize and utilize (but not use) the gifts of others or do they only magnify their own gifts and talents? If the latter is true...Don't walk...But you RUN....For your entire life’s destiny is at stake. Yes, it’s very important to be in the right place IF you want to be ministered to and have your gifts honored and utilized. God bless you as you keep in mind this scripture. "A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water. But only a man of understanding can draw it out". (Prov. 20:5)
