THE LIFE OF JOSEPH – LESSON 17
FAMILY REUNION
Jacob (Israel) longed to see Joseph who had asked for him to come. Pharaoh sent word for Israel to bring his entire family to live in Egypt. Jacob packed up everything; people and possessions, took their herds, and set out on the journey.
He stopped at Beer-Sheba, the southernmost part of Canaan, to offer sacrifices to God. That night as he slept, God came to him in a vision and said in Genesis 46:3, “I am God, the God of thy Father (El Elohiym). Fear not to go down to Egypt… I will go down with thee… (and) surely bring thee (back) up again.” He rose the next morning and resumed the journey to Egypt.
There were 66 of them in that caravan. Once united with Joseph’s family of four, the “nation” of Israel started its sojourn of 430 years from a total of just 70 souls. Centuries later when Moses brought them out of Egypt, they had grown to over two million.
Joseph had intentions made known to them that they should settle in Goshen where there was fertile land for grazing. Jacob sent Judah ahead of the group so that Joseph could direct them there. Once they arrived in Goshen, Joseph made ready his chariot and went to Goshen to see his father. It was a “glad and happy reunion” as they met, wept, and communed.
Someday you and I will also have a “glad happy reunion” day as we meet our Father in heaven. Our “brother” (Jesus) Lord and Savior, shows us the way to our “Goshen” in heaven.
All the tests and trials that we go through here on earth will seem so small when in the presence of His glory. “It will be worth it all when we see Jesus. Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ. Once glimpse of His dear face, all sorrows will erase, so bravely run the race, ‘til we see Christ.”

ABOVE ALL
In Ephesians chapter six we learn about the armor of God. There are the shoes, the belt, the breastplate, the helmet, the sword, and the shield. Each of these are necessary for the Christian to maintain his position as a soldier in the army of God.
In vs. 16, it says, “Above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” In saying this, the Apostle Paul is letting us know that faith is the one thing that wards off the enemy’s fiery darts. You can have your feet shod with peace, and the helmet of salvation, along with the breastplate of righteousness and the sword of the Spirit. You can have the belt on that holds the other pieces in place, but without the shield of faith you can’t win the battle. It takes faith above all the other pieces of armor to win the war.
We can know the word of God, but if we don’t have the faith to use it then it is void. We can have the shoes of peace on, but if we don’t have faith to put our feet in the right place then the shoes don’t take us anywhere. We can have on the breastplate of righteousness, but it takes faith to keep the darts from penetrating it. We can have the helmet on, but if we don’t have faith to keep thoughts from penetrating it then it is not serving its purpose.
It tells in Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please him…” Faith is vital in our walk. But what do we have faith in? Ourselves? Our friends? Our Pastors? No. We have faith in the Word of God that when we act on it then it will not return void. How do we get that kind of faith? It says in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
It is simple as that. The more we hear the Word of God, the more faith we develop. This is why it is vital that we read it every day. In the days we live in with plagues, wars, and more, we must have our faith built up daily. Without this we will certainly lose battles and also can’t please God.
Do you need a faith injection? Then read more of the Word. Start in the Book of John then read the book of Acts. Faith will come! Above all else it wards off the fiery darts of Satan, which surely come to every believer.

PROPHETIC WORD
5-18-2020
Just as water falling upon the earth through a refreshing rain brings new life, I shall bring water to your dry and weary soul. For you have labored and yielded yourself to me and have pressed through, saith the Lord. For I am refreshing you now with the well spring of life. Shall you not taste it on your tongue and know that I am refreshing you? For the hours ahead will require the refreshing more than ever. Come aside and let me water your full self. Your spirit, your soul, your body. For you are weary, and you must take this time to be refreshed. The wounds and scars are many. Come unto me my beloved and let me tend to those wounds and let them be healed saith the Lord. For in the hour ahead you will need more strength than ever to continue in the call I have laid before you. I will show you the path, but only one step at a time. For the days ahead as are of the old ones that wrote of this time. For surely they are here and I will bring you through. You have been chosen for this hour, for such a time as this, for you are called to be light in a world of darkness. Do not try to question the assignment or the reason of your call. Know that you were born for and raised up for this hour. It is surely not a mistake that you were born for this hour, for I know the thoughts I have towards for you, and am acquainted with them saith the Lord, and I know the thoughts you have towards me and am acquainted with them, saith the Lord. For I am equipping you for this hour in a way that will bring many to light and repel darkness. Yet in this time, you must surely come and be refreshed often so you can withstand the attacks of the enemy. There is a tightening of the cord of the enemy and he would like to trap you and take you down, but I have withstood him and will not allow you to go through more than you can bear. I have removed obstacles and persons out of your path so that you can press through. You would surely wonder why they are gone, but I would say do not dwell on what isn’t here, dwell on me, who is here. For I am with you and I will guide you and I will lead you to victory. For in this hour mighty warriors are being raised up to fight off the conflicts ahead, saith the Lord. You are not alone in this battle. You are not alone. For there is a remnant that has been chosen for this hour, and you are part of it, saith the Lord. So now come apart and be refreshed and get your next assignment for I would talk to you in this hour, saith the Lord. Come now and hear what I would say, saith the Lord. Come and be refreshed.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
5-5-2021
Most of us know the importance of our attitude; But do you know how much our attitude will determine the difference in our successes or our failures? Now that we’ve established our attitude will definitely determine our altitude; Let’s look at 2 other key words that go hand in hand with our attitude. These 2 words are obstacle and opportunity. Well ok you may ask; But what’s the real difference between an obstacle and an opportunity in my everyday life? Great question. The truth is the key difference between the two just happens to be...You guessed it...Your attitude. As we live life we soon discover that our attitude can often produce a difficulty; But the positive side of that is every difficulty has an opportunity hidden within that dreaded difficulty. I’ve noticed when a person with a fabulous attitude is thrown an obstacle; That without a doubt they will find a way to turn that obstacle into a great opportunity. Yes, they take their mess and make it a message for all to see. How?? It’s all because they had a great attitude towards whatever life brought their way. Just remember when an obstacle or obstacles get thrown into your path; That sure it could slow you down or even stop the progress in your life. However, IF you keep a good attitude...Then those same obstacles will help to create a golden opportunity for your advancement. So don’t ever allow a bad attitude to bring you obstacles; But keep a good attitude and it’ll continue to bring you opportunity after opportunity. Now I don’t know about you; But I’d choose an opportunity that brings joy and peace that opens God doors...Rather than an obstacle that brings turmoil and confusion that opens wrong doors. Just think...All you have to do is change your attitude and it will change your altitude; And then it will ultimately bring you opportunity instead of obstacles.
