RUSSELL SANDERS 5-5-2021 THE LIFE OF JOSEPH – LESSON 16 REDEMPTION   Chapter 45 of Genesis: After Judah’s passionate plea Joseph was deeply moved in emotions. He ordered all other people out of the room leaving him with just his eleven brothers. He could no longer restrain the tears. He sobbed heavily and loudly such that all the Egyptians of his house and Pharaoh’s house could hear it. Surely the brothers wondered what was going on.   When Joseph finally regained his composure, he said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Doth my father yet live?” They were so astonished by this that they were dumbfounded. They were not yet sure about it, but if it were Joseph, they were troubled that at his presence they could be punished for what they had done to him as a teenager.   Joseph allayed their fears and reaffirmed his identity. He said in verse 4, “I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.” He then absolved them of guilt by telling them God’s plan all along to preserve their lives and Jacob’s posterity. He said, “God has made me a father to Pharaoh over all his house and the entire nation of Egypt.” (my paraphrase).   He now spoke to them in their own Hebrew tongue, “that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you” rather than the Egyptian tongue he had previously used. After communing with them, and a joyful reunion with his brother Benjamin, he then told them to go back to Canaan with their asses, get their father, and bring him to Joseph.   Pharaoh learned of this and laid out a better plan. The brothers were to go to Canaan to bring back not just Joseph’s father, but the entire households of the children of Jacob. He said take wagons to load everyone into, plus ten male asses (besides the brother’s own asses) laden with all the goods and wealth of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with all manner of food for their journey. He also gave to each of the ten older brothers a fine elegant garment. However, Benjamin was given five fine garments and 300 pieces of silver.   The brothers departed soon after to return to Canaan. They surely had to have been accompanied by several Egyptian servants, perhaps even some soldiers for protection. The brothers never could have managed the trip alone with thirty asses and an untold number of wagons to drive.   When they arrived home, they told everything to their father. Jacob could hardly believe it. He was so overwhelmed that he fainted. When he finally regained consciousness, he was overjoyed. He said in vs. 28, “It is enough (that) Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.”   Redemption. Joseph had forgiven the brothers. He had redeemed them from their sin against him and against their father to whom they had ben deceitful. He was now offering them a new life.   Like Joseph, Jesus has also redeemed us. We are forgiven. We are restored (reconciled) to the family of God. He has given us a new life and the promise of a new home. What Jesus has done for us parallels what Joseph did for his family about 1700 to 1800 years before Christ.   Types and foreshadows of the Old Testament era come to light in the New Testament era.

HELEN SANDERS 5-5-2021 UNFORGIVENESS   In Mark 11:25-26 it says, “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”    I could ask everyone in a room if there was someone that whom they hadn’t forgiven, and most of the hands would go up. Offenses come, but what we do with them determines what happens to us. Unforgiveness hurts us more than the person that offended us. It can cause us to lose our peace, not sleep well, get sick and more.   One night during Bible Study at our Church the Lord said shut down the service and go out the door to witness and pray for people. So, we did just that. We talked to many and one couple received salvation in the nearby laundromat. We then started to head back to the church when the Lord told me to pray for a man in the parking lot. I approached him with a few other church members and asked him if he needed prayer. He said “yes.” He had an ongoing condition that needed healing. Now I love to pray for people, and I love to see them healed expecting just that to happen when I prayed (faith in action). As I started to pray the Holy Spirit told me not to pray until I asked him if there was someone that he needed to forgive. In asking, he said “Yes, there was someone from 30 years earlier that he hadn’t forgiven.”   I told him that the Lord wanted to heal him but this unforgiveness was stopping it from happening. I asked him if he was ready to forgive and let go, and he said, “yes.” When I prayed for him, he was instantly healed. It was amazing, he had to wait 30 years to receive a healing because of this “sin” called unforgiveness in his life.   I see this kind of situation often my friends and it can be avoided if we don’t let offenses get to us. It truly isn’t worth being in bondage to it. How about you? Is there someone that you haven’t forgiven causing you not to receive God’s blessings in your life? If so, why not get it right now so Satan has no legal right to accuse you before God. You don’t want God to not forgive you because of unforgiveness!   Missed some of Helen's Messages?

HELEN SANDERS 1-14-2021 PROPHETIC WORD HALTING BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS   I would say that this is the hour that you halt between two opinions. Would you go one way or would you go the other, for there is much to come about in the days ahead. I would say that there will be a shaking unlike any shaking that has ever taken place saith the Lord. People will be shaken to the core. Faith will be stretched beyond anything it has ever seen. Would you be of the opinion to be hot, or would you be of the opinion to be cold? Those that stay in the middle will surely be spit out of my mouth. The lukewarmness of my church has come into my nostrils and it is not a smell that I want to smell. It is a stench beyond all stenches. You have been given opportunity after opportunity to repent, and the hour is at hand where you will make your final choice. Behold, I will blow a wind upon your nation and upon this earth like a wind that has never blown. I will blow away protection from those that have turned away from me, and it will blow away things that looked like they were permanent. But I would say that I raise up and I bring down. I am in the wind, and it shall do a work, but also there shall be a wind of revival that will stir up the embers of the fire that has waned. There will be a stirring and the flames will grow brighter for those that have chosen to be hot for me saith the Lord. They shall rise up from the embers and shine like they have never shone. They shall go forth and do great exploits for I am in the wind of revival, and I am in the wind of destruction of those things that I have allowed but now am disallowing them. I would say, choose this day which side that you are on. You cannot serve two masters. You are either for me all the way, or you are against me all the way. There is no longer any middle road, for the things of darkness will grow darker, and the things of light will grow brighter. Choose wisely for this is the hour that I have said would come. It is at the door and is being released saith the lord.

Speak to the storms ! HELEN SANDERS

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY PROPHETIC EXHORTATION 5-4-2021 I’m sure we could all agree that David the young shepherd boy had a very unique weapon of choice. Yes, to the natural mind and to our human reasoning it was simply not a good choice to use on a giant. However, David had proved it on many other occasions; And he knew he could count on it to take on and to take down this giant of a man named Goliath. (1 Sam. 17:34-36) Sure we know from all the Biblical accounts that David was definitely outsized; But one thing for certain he was never outsmarted nor outwitted. I can almost hear David confidently although never arrogantly saying underneath his breath, “Ok God you’ve used me before and you will do it again now; For Lord you know this showdown is for your glory. Then he cried out with all the authority of heaven backing him saying... “Goliath in Jesus Name you are a dead man”. About that time one smooth stone hurled out from his sling shot, Goliath was dead and a great victory was won. Now here’s a great lesson you need to learn and never forget it...With God on your side...You can accomplish MORE...With less. We read in 2 Cor. 10:4-5‬, “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ”.
