BLESSINGS TO MY BRETHREN, ISRAEL!
TODAY I WANT TO SPEAK OF ONE OF OUR GREATEST JEWISH HEROES: JOSEPH!
This is the Joseph sold into slavery by those who were also commanded to love him: (most of) his brothers…
The reason? Jealousy.
Joseph’s response commanded the whole victory for himself, God and his brothers.
Beloved: this is an extremely short synopsis of one of the greatest men in history. Study him deeply.
Selah.
Although there are foolish people who attempt to add words to our holy Bible the wise and learned declare only God is the author and finisher of our faith. Truly I say to you not once is one able to find Joseph cursing God, nor blaming Him as so many do. Not once did Joseph return evil with evil. Not once.
Joseph died Jewish – Israeli.
And like Joseph: Israel is God’s chosen people. Israel is the apple of God’s eye. All Israel will be saved. Messiah will come to His people. He will come at the perfect time.
Selah.
SO ENEMIES OF ISRAEL: REMEMBER THIS – while Joseph was sold into slavery by his very own kin he remained a faithful servant of the Most High and no weapon formed against him could bring Joseph down.
Genesis 39:2
The Lord was with Joseph, and he [even though a slave] became a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
By the way, while Joseph was in bondage – he became father to Pharaoh (a seemingly more powerful man.)
Genesis 45:4-8
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.
AGAIN: I honor Israel!
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
