BEHIND THE VEIL


BEHIND THE VEIL
February 2, 2011 Rev. Donna Trexler-Geertz

This word came to me while listening to some incredible soaking music from Cathy Mart, the song “Deep Within” from the album Releasing the Dove  

When I first saw the Art Print above ... I thought .. "Oh how I would love to meet the Lord in that little gazebo and lay in His arms and share my heart with Him"  
I was going about my day, and out of nowhere came the impression that I was to play this cd online and put on my earphones and that God wanted to talk with me. It was as if I could almost hear Him say to me that “I had been on His mind”!!
As I began to relax while listening to the music, and asking God what He wanted to say.. I saw myself walking, and in front of me was a veil.. it was huge and covered as far as I could see horizontally and vertically. It was a gauzy type material like linen, and straight without gathering, and opaque, so I could see tall trees vaguely behind the veil and what looked like vegetation.
As I approached the veil, I pushed it back and entered in. Behind the veil it was gorgeous. Kind of like what I would have imagined the Garden of Eden to have looked like. I kind of laughed to myself thinking “I kind of feel like Alice in Wonderland”!! I was in the midst of tall majestic trees with flowered vines entwined.. It was like the most beautiful forest and jungle all at the same time. I could see some of my favorite flowers like Lily of the Valley and violets, orchids etc.. in spectacular colors. .. and there was a path .. simple in form with what looked like all natural rock pavers... and I started on the path walking forward.. I knew God was taking my hand, although I did not see his hand… I thought in my mind.. “and the Holy Spirit shall lead them”… In a short bit of time I saw in front of me to my left Father God sitting on what looked like something very luxurious and comfortable. Almost in a reclining position.
My heart leapt when I saw Him and all I wanted to do was to run and bury myself deep in His arms. He was smiling and opened His arms and welcomed me warmly.. like He had been waiting! Almost like in a gesture of “Come to Daddy”!!
I hurried into his arms and cuddled as close as I possibly could and I could feel His arms which felt like huge soft feathered wings embrace me. I started to cry really hard. It was like I had come home. I kept saying through my tears “ I am SO sorry, forgive me” .. and would cry more. I was realizing how much I had missed His presence and being close with my Father God, the real kind of closeness that I had always had, and somehow had lost recently. I had allowed the worries and concerns to creep in and take the place of the one on one relationship I had with God. Did I talk with God every day, and was He my constant companion? Yes, but it was also mixed with concern for earthly things. Was I being used by God, was I counseling, ministering .. going about the Father’s business, seeing fruit in people’s lives.. yes and yes…. But, in this place behind the veil, Nothing else mattered.. NOTHING. Behind the veil is always my very favorite place to be. It was like all the ones I loved and cared for and all the concerns I had for them just melted in His presence, everything and anything that had taken my attention from time alone with God was being poured out to Father God. Every hurt, disappointment, frustration, questioning, doubt, in my life was being poured out to Him. I could feel a gentle rocking and whispered expressions of assurance from Him.
I began to think about a woman I had talked with in counsel the day before …. One who is so filled with love and life and zeal.. she is exuberant and an adorable little chatterbox!! Her Dad had told her when she was young more than one time to stop being so bouncy and excitable.. he told her many times to “calm down”.. I could feel my heart being stabbed with her pain as through the years this had stifled her and caused her to hold back and feel that she was an annoyance in life. I started to cry again and ask God to heal her, to let her know that He never tired of her ever, that he loved her bubbly attitude, he never tired of her voice ... that He delighted in her.
My heart began to think about others who were hurt and not understood.. the man we had met so supernaturally the night before on the way in to Michael’s. It surely was a God incident and this man was so lost and hurting. Joe and I both tried to minister to him and one of the comments he made was that “God didn’t have time for him”. I began to cry again, realizing how God had just told me “I had been on His mind”… I asked God to please let this man KNOW that there is time and room on the Father’s lap for everyone and that He never gets annoyed with us, and there is always forgiveness.. and there is Always time for us in Father God's heart and lap.
I began to think about a woman who I talked with who is a very strong warrior in Christ. Situations recently had brought her to the edge and she considered suicide..I know for her to have such thoughts could only have come from an attack of the enemy, so I knew her pain from the overload she was going through was deep.. She had told me in the midst of this she went to a conference and God ministered to her and it turned her around!! I held Daddy God even closer and thanked Him for doing that for her.
As my crying began to lessen, Daddy God’s strong and reassuring arms pulled back a bit and I began to look out along with God at my surroundings.. a darling bunny eating something on the ground nearby, beautifully colored, singing birds flying above, some perched on trees, the sound of a bubbling brook somewhere in the distance, and the fragrance of earth, greenery and flowers permeating the atmosphere. .. I was thinking to myself.. “My Daddy God smells like the tall and mighty Cedars of Lebanon… He is faithful to take care of me, I am safe”!! My Abba Father not only ministers to me and lets me know of His love .. but that He has me and ALL HIS children on His mind always and that He loves to have fun with us and to frolic!! In this place with God, nothing else mattered. He began to hand feed me something that looked like grapes and it was sweet and delicious like nothing I can describe. I could feel strength begin to return to my body.
As I relaxed in Father God’s presence and love, He began to speak to me…. And I would like to share with you what He said..

DEEPER 2/2/11
Never ending, never ending, for My love is never ending for you
A love that other things never will fill
Only ME You have known this from the beginning .. 
Why do you forget to run to me when life overwhelms you with busyness, when all I want is for you to come behind the veil ?
Let me take your hand and lead you to Me .. stretch to go behind the veil . 
I want to talk with you personally , For I am your source
For there are many things I want to say to you
And other things I want to tell you too
Just soak with me for a while… In MY presence .. in MY presence my daughter
And don’t allow things to keep you away
For my heart is soft towards you, Never meaning harm or accusation.. you know that
I lead the way to paths of Abundant Life for you, for I have loved you since before the beginning of time..
I created you with loving hands.. and My thoughts towards you are GOOD
I made you for ME.. to love You have known that from the beginning
And every detail .. was put into place just by Me
I feed you with my choicest foods to give you strength for the journey
I created your personality and hand wove your gifts and talents into your very being
All to give Me pleasure.. created in MY image are you
and you were given a heart to choose, choices to let the cares of this world or Me overtake you
choices to come and linger alone with me or to do other things, even “good” things
I do not force you to come to Me for time alone with Me , but you have been on My mind.
I have been thinking about you. I have been missing the special private times we have had together
I miss it when we have not had our constant special time alone, I yearn for your undivided attention
The times where you bask in my presence and the world becomes strangely dim to you
You have ALWAYS been my love! Did you KNOW that?
Just stay with me a while and let me wash away the rubble of the world and it’s ways
And when you come to me .. I will remove the troubled spots..
Those things that seem so hard to overcome, and circumstances in others lives too
Those things that have placed Restrictions upon you… will be removed.
I desire to do permanent adjustments in false thinking that you have believed
There are many things you insist on trying to carry that were not intended for you at all  
they are too heavy for you to bear my dove..
I do not keep my children in a gilded cage captive … but yea, the door is open for you to fly
Tell them that I desire for them to walk in freedom even in the midst of total chaos in the world and in their lives .. even when all their dreams seem to be shattered.
I have placed my song of truth within you to share My love with others.
A song to rapture the hearts of My creations and cause them to consider eternal things and to release worldly things
MY SONG.. a song for the days ahead for the days ahead will need the song of the Bridegroom .. 
You have held back from sharing my word of warning for the coming days, It is not an easy song .. but I can trust you to speak it for I am confident it will gush forth in love and not condemnation.
Will you sing a new song for Me my dove?? Will you carry MY song of love to others.. will you carry My heart with you ..
will you leave your worry for those who will not receive my song, pray for them and love them and come deeper with Me?
My song in your mouth will bring freedom... it is a song of preparation.
Will you tell them My story.. will you fly and light where I instruct.. will you go for Me??
Will you tell them of My never ending love for them? Will you do what you were made to do.. fly and sing My dove ??
And I give unto you eyes to see and ears to hear .. where to go and who to sing to..
Release the songs I have given you .. give away that which I have given to you and I will refill aplenty
I AM your Abba.. your Daddy and nothing will I withhold from you my child. Nothing is too hard for ME,
I only allow that which is good for you into your life, although many times you doubt Me in this area. I can turn things in an instant.. the crooked roads many filled with heartache and disappoint will lead you to Your Promised Land if you will but lean on Me and learn the lessons along the way.  Don't look to the left or to the right to blame .. 

I use others as an abrasion to speak words of truth when you least expect it.  Let the the friction have it's perfect work and do not shirk from it ..
My plans for you are GOOD That which will draw you closer to me, that which will cause maturity, that which will remove pride and will cause your heart to be humble and that which will make you stronger for the journey for the days ahead.
Tell my people.. answers are not in relationships, or things.. they are not in success or happy families.. the answer lies in ME.
Even my children are seeking after answers in many other things, but not Me.
I AM the LIFE. … IN ME, you live and breathe and have your being, not in other things… seek ME, and all things shall be added unto you.
Resting here with ME in My presence you know that. It all becomes clear again.
The things others strive for can all be found when they lay their burdens of life down, and truly give them to ME.
So many tears, worries, plans, manipulations, sleepless nights, and fears can be avoided if my children will just come and release these things to ME and leave them WITH ME to handle .. not trying to handle them on their own, or trying to make it happen in their own strength. Or in flexing their own self righteous muscles instead of kneeling in a contrite way.. or try to prove themselves. 
These things are those that separate Me from them. Their focus becomes cloudy and they forget the true reason they are here ..
to love Me and to share My good news with others..
My desire is for all their desperation to become desperation for ME.
They get caught up in concerns, good works, false doctrine, mixture that dilutes the gospel of truth, what they need, what they want, how life would be better if......
It is like a fine/rare piece of expensive furniture that has been broken down and looks like it is destroyed with no hope of salvage.
Put it in the Master’s hand and allow HIM to take over and Restore .. stop trying to help the cabinetmaker!!
Leave it in MY shop, unless I tell you otherwise… for I love that piece of furniture MORE than you ever could.. I created the wood, surely you can trust Me, and in the meantime speak tenderly to those that are in need of repair.
My love is never ending never ending …
I AM the one who restores that which the canker worm has eaten
You will see that I have ONLY YOU in mind in the place of surrender to Me.
I know of your yearnings too deep to groan… I have seen the tears of my children.
Here in my embrace .... Release your sorrows here in this place of trust and surrender
Were I will hold you close and fill you with my love until all mourning and deep sorrow is gone .. where all fretting and discontent will melt .. 
For deep calleth unto deep.. the depth of my love and caring.. calling you out of your depth of despair and despondency and feelings of aloneness.
I understand your cries.
I preserve you soul, and never hold Myself back from you, with Me you are NEVER ALONE .. come behind the veil with Me.
I release the dove in your life …
Your loving,
Abba Daddy God

MORNING KISS!

MORNING KISS!

Given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit while in meditation with the Lord 6/1/10. I was reminded again of a particular morning years ago in the Smokey Mountains, while walking through the woods and the sun was beginning to stream through the trees. I was overwhelmed with love for God and His creations.


I was listening to some instrumental soaking music, when this word came as I reminisced about that wonderful morning. I want to meet each morning with a Morning Kiss for my sweet Jesus!

Ps: I just love this picture what a sweet abandonment unto the Lord. I love the angelic beings descending from the heavenly realm too. If you look closely at the background of the picture you can see two wolves in the background ready to devour.. quite interesting.





MORNING KISS!

You come to me as in an early morn' in the forest, Your sunlight peeking through the trees like a morning mist, sprinkling my heart with your touch, with your approval, your protection, your blessing. I am softly and gently immersed in your love as I feel the warmth of the sun beginning to rise before my awaiting heart. "Awake my Beloved" you speak so tenderly into my ear.. awake and see what I have created for you this day"! It is a new day..a new beginning. "Lord, I reply, You have kept me thus far, through the nighttimes of my life, safely enfolding me in the blanket of your arms, Your presence is so gentle upon my soul, filling me with hope and anticipation of a new day".


I greet you Father, in the misty morning. I am here with You, You take my breath away with your beauty and you fill my senses with the fragrance of pine. Evergreen, reminding me that Your love is ever growing inside of me, fresh and invigorating, and Your mercies are new every morning. I am anointed, rejuvenated anew by Your divine caress.


I join with the lily of the valley, the violets, and the jack in the pulpit along with all the forest creatures, who await your morning kiss, as gentle as angel's wings upon us. You have given us another day to love You, to thank You for being YOU!! I embrace Your love. I realize for the first time, I am not the only one waiting to receive Your touch. I in this moment come to understand, all creation worships You. I receive Your touch, You are my God. All is silent in your presence, all is well with my soul. A holy hush envelopes us.... I meet You here……. I meet You here. The misty Smokey Mountains before me remind me to look up and know from whence my help comes from .. it comes from You, the giver of all life. All my earthly concerns fade into nothingness in the beauty of this moment.


Father, may all come to know the reality of your presence in face to face encounters with You. Oh my Lord, my desire is that they will experience the width and breadth and depth of Your love. My heart cries out, "You are majestic oh my God and Your beauty overwhelms me. Come, my soul, let us rejoice and run to the arms of Our King, our Savior, our friend and greet Him with a Morning Kiss"!!

JOSEPH COMPANY



   JOSEPH'S COAT OF MANY COLORS



JOSEPH COMPANY
GENESIS 39-41

 EVER HEAR THE EXPRESSION "HE LOST HIS SHIRT"?  WELL THAT WAS ALMOST THE CASE WITH JOSEPH, EXCEPT HE LOST HIS COAT. HE WAS THE SON JACOB AND HIS FAVORED WIFE, RACHAEL.  JACOB LOVED JOSEPH MORE THAN ALL HIS OTHER SONS AND GAVE HIM A COAT OF MANY COLORS.  BECAUSE OF THIS FAVORITISM, IT MADE HIS BROTHERS JEALOUS.  THEN JOSEPH HAD TWO DREAMS INDICATING THAT HIS BROTHERS WOULD BOW DOWN TO HIM AND IT MADE HIS BROTHERS WANT TO KILL HIM. 

ONE DAY WHILE THEY WERE AWAY FROM HOME THE BAD BROTHERS THREW JOSEPH INTO AN EMPTY WELL AFTER TEARING OFF HIS COAT HIS FATHER HAD GIVEN HIM THEN BROUGHT HIS COAT HOME TO THEIR FATHER TELLING HIM A BEAST HAD KILLED JOSEPH.  THEIR FATHER WAS HEARTBROKEN.  BUT, JOSEPH HAD NOT BEEN KILLED BUT HIS BROTHERS SOLD HIM INTO SLAVERY TO SOME MERCHANTS PASSING BY... WHO THEN TOOK HIM TO EGYPT AND WAS SOLD TO A MAN NAMED POTIPHAR. 




JOSEPH FOUND HIMSELF TO BE A SLAVE IN EGYPT, BUT HE EARNED THE TRUST OF POTIPHER A MAN OF WEALTH AND HE WORKED HARD AND WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF POTIPHARS WHOLE HOUSEHOLD.  BUT POTIPHARS WIFE WAS NOT A GOOD WOMAN, AND ONE DAY SHE ACCUSED JOSEPH OF BETRAYING HER HUSBAND.  ALTHOUGH HER WORDS WERE FALSE, JOSEPH WAS THROWN IN PRISON.  BUT EVEN IN PRISON, JOSEPH OBEYED GOD, AND I AM SURE THIS TIME IN A DARK PRISON GAVE JOSEPH TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW HE COULD HAVE HANDLED HIS BROTHERS IN A MORE HUMBLE WAY.  IN PRISON EVEN INTERPETED SOME DREAMS AND ONLY ASKED THAT HE BE REMEMBERED.  I AM SURE AGAIN HE WONDERED WHEN GOD WOULD EVER RELEASE HIM FROM HIS CAPTIVITY.  AFTER A WHILE HE WAS RELEASED TO HELP PHARAOH, THE LEADER OF ALL EGYPT.



"JOSEPH, I'VE HEARD YOU ARE ABLE TO EXPLAIN DREAMS," SAID PHARAOH. 
'ONLY WITH GOD'S HELP", REPLIED JOSEPH,
IN THE DREAM PHAROAHPHAROAH WAS TO CHOOSE A WISE MAN WHO WOULD STORE FOOD IN THE YEARS OF PLENTY TO BE USED DURING FAMINE.  AND PHAROAH APPOINTED JOSEPH GOVERNOR OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.  A VERY HIGH POSITION.

FAST FORWARD DECADES. JOSEPH IS RUNNING EGYPT, WHICH BECAUSE OF HIS "INSIDER INFORMATION WITH GOD, IS THE ONLY LAND THAT HAS FOOD DURING THE FAMINE,.  THROUGH A SERIES OF EVENTS JOSEPH IS ABLE TO HELP HIS BROTHERS AND FAMILY AND REUNITED WITH HIS FATHER WHO IS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM ALIVE BEFORE HIS DEATH.  JOSEPH COMES TO A PLACE OF FORGIVENESS TOWARDS HIS BROTHERS AFTER TRYING TO GET EVEN WITH THEM AND IS ABLE TO BE A HERO FOR THE LORD.

HERE IS THE WORD I RECEIVED A TIME AGO,
BUT I BELIEVE IT IS EVEN MORE PERTINENT FOR TODAY...

I RESIST THE PROUD, BUT GIVE GRACE TO THE HUMBLE…  PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL…. BELOVED, DON’T OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE ENEMY TO COME IN AS JOSEPH DID WALKING IN PRIDE, IMMATURE ATTITUDE AND BOASTFUL MANNERISMS.… BOASTING IN YOUR HEART OF THE COAT OF MANY COLORS  BESTOWED UPON YOU …FOCUSING ON  ( THE GIFTINGS AND ABILITIES AND PROMISES) PLACED AS A MANTLE UPON YOUR LIFE WILL ONLY SET YOU UP FOR A PIT  EXPERIENCE. 

"MY DESIRE IS  FOR YOU TO LEARN AND GROW IN MY WAYS", SAITH THE LORD.   JOSEPH COULD HAVE AVOIDED MANY A PITFALL HAD HE SERVED HIS BROTHERS INSTEAD OF SAYING TO HIS BROTHERS… “I’M CALLED, AND I’M SPECIAL …. FATHER REALLY HAS HIS HAND ON ME”.  SEE MY COAT OF MANY COLORS..  YOU MY BROTHERS WILL ONE DAY BOW DOWN TO ME.

FOR, THE LORD IS  RAISING YOU UP HIS JOSEPH'S IN INTEGRITY TO MAKE WISE CHOICES, REFLECTING  GODLY CHARACTER. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER DESIRES FOR US TO TRUST HIM AT ALL TIMES, KNOWINING THAT OUR  DESIRE AND DELIGHT IS TOWARDS GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST IN YOUR LIFE.   YOUR FAITHFULNESS WILL BE REWARDED WITH BLESSINGS GREATER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE…

YOUR PROMOTION WILL COME FROM A SPIRIT OF DILIGENCE, AND HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, BY TAKING SMALL TASKS AND PUTTING YOUR HEART INTO THEM, AND BEING CONTENT TO SERVE IN SUBMISSION, DOING YOUR BEST, WITH ALL DILIGANCE, AND DESIRING A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS….   JOSEPH WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE FAVOR IF HE WERE SLOTHFUL, APATHETIC OR LAZY… NO, HE WORKED DILIGENTLY NO MATTER WHERE GOD PLACED HIM, BECAUSE HE WORKED TO PLEASE THE LORD.  AS YOU VIEW EVEN THE MEANIAL TASKS AS IMPORTANT,  WHEN YOU VIEW NOTHING “AS BENEATH YOU” …. GOD WILL RAISE YOU UP.

FATHER GOD SAYS: "BE NOT IN A RUSH, BUT BE MORE EAGER TO BE FAITHFUL THROUGH THE TESTINGS OF TIME…..MY DESIRE FOR YOU IS A  DETERMINING IN YOUR HEART NOT TO SUCCUMB TO THE PULL OF THE WORLD.  I WILL THEN REVERSE THE OVERWHELMING ODDS AGAINST YOU….FOR YOU MUST BE PROVEN TRUSTWORTHY TO WALK THE WAY OF HOLINESS IN THE MIDST OF STRUGGLES, BEFORE I CAN USE YOU IN THE WAYS I HAVE PLANNED." 


SEARCH YOUR HEART FOR PRIORITIES.    WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY?  WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVATIONS?…ARE YOUR PLANS AND INTENTS HONORABLE AND PURE IN ALL AREAS.. (IE…FINANCES, MORALS, MINISTRY, WORK)  WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST DESIRE…THE LORD YEARNS FOR YOU TO NOT LOSE YOUR FIRST LOVE AND THAT YOUR DESIRE BE FOR HIM BEFORE ALL THINGS.. …. WHETHER YOUR PRISON IS CIRCUMSTANCES OR PRISONS OF YOUR OWN MAKING.. THERE IS STILL HEALING AND DELIVERANCE .. CRY OUT TO GOD AND HE WILL LIFT YOU OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY.


REMEMBER, IT TOOK 20 YEARS TO PREPARE JOSEPH FOR REIGNING… KNOW THAT MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS AND MY TIMING IS NOT YOUR TIMING. IT WILL BE TEMPTING TO GROW WEARY, LEAN ON MY IN THE DARKNESS AND THE MIDST OF YOUR PRISON EXPERIENCE.  YOUR TRAINING INVOLVES LEARNING THE IMPORTANCE OF SERVING.  YOU WILL BE BROUGHT SUDDENLY FROM PRISON TO PALACE…AS YOU SERVE ME HUMBLY AND MEEKLY, AND I WILL RENEW YOUR STRENGTH…DON’T BE LOOKING FOR POSITION, BUT POSITION YOURSELF AS A SERVANT SO I MAY LIFT YOU UP.  REMEMBER, PROMOTION COMES FROM ME!!
 

AS YOUR HEART RELEASES THE AREAS OF PRIDE,  WHERE YOU CONTINUE TO PROVE YOURSELF AND PROVE YOUR (SPIRITUALITY) AND CALLING..I WILL GIVE UNTO YOU TRUE DISCERNMENT OF THOSE WHO ARE IN THE KING’S SERVICE (MY SERVICE), AND THOSE WHO CONSPIRE AGAINST ME…  WHEN THERE ARE DISPUTES, YOU WILL COME TO ME AND RECEIVE DIVINE WISDOM … YOUR WORDS WILL BE FILLED WITH UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE.  SUPERNATURAL  GIFTS WILL FLOW.


WHILE OTHERS WILL TRY TO REVEAL SPIRITUAL MYSTERIES TO BRING ATTENTION AND GLORY TO THEMSELVES TO GAIN POSITION, I WILL GIVE UNTO YOU TRUE INTERPRETATION. YOU WILL NO LONGER MINISTER OUT OF YOUR OWN FLESH, AND YOU WILL NOT BE DECEIVED BY YOUR OWN FLESHLY DESIRES OR PURPOSES.  YOU WILL ONLY SPEAK WHAT I SAY AND ONLY DO WHAT I SHOW YOU… YOU WILL BE CONSUMED IN MY LOVE AND YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS WILL BE DONE IN LOVE AND WILL CARRY GREAT POWER.

YOU WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN NEW REALMS OF INSIGHT AND REVELATION OF MY WORD… SIGNS WONDERS AND GIFTS OF MY SPIRIT.. … FOR YOUR FOCUS WILL  BE FOR KINGDOM PURPOSES…. BUT FIRST, TURN ASIDE FROM FLESHLY AREAS,  AND BE SATISFIED WITH “MY PORTION” WHICH OFTEN SEEMS MEAGER AND UNSATIFSYING TO YOUR PALATE.  “MY PORTION”, HOWEVER, BRINGS LIFE IN ABUNDANCE, STRENGTH AND WISDOM.  ….  FOR I AM CALLING MY JOSEPH’S TO FLEE FROM THAT WHICH THE WORLD DANGLES IN FRONT OF THEM AS A TRAP.  AS YOU FLEE ALL THAT THE ENEMY WOULD SET UP AS TEMPTATION AND ENTRAPMENT.. TRADE THE COAT OF MANY COLORS THAT MAN HAS FASHIONED FOR THE CLOAK OF TRUE SONSHIP THAT I HAVE CREATED FOR YOU.
 

“I AM CALLING MY JOSEPH COMPANY TO BE STEADFAST IN FLEEING YOUTHFUL LUSTS, TURNING ASIDE FROM ALL FORMS OF INTICEMENT, WHEN UNDER PRESSURE, AND BEING RESOLVED IN SPRIRIT  TO PLEASE THE KING BEFORE PLEASING THEMSELVES…. “IT WOULD BE A GREAT SIN AGAINST GOD” (Gen. 39:9) AND REALIZING SEXUAL SIN IS AN ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD… REALIZING MANY TIMES AVOIDING TEMPTATION IS NOT ENOUGH.  RUNNING FROM IT, AND REFUSING THE ADVANCES OF SEDUCTION, ARE SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY OF ESCAPING THE ENEMIES PLANS.  FOR THERE WILL BE NO MIXTURE IN MY JOSEPH COMPANY.  THEY WILL BE SOLD OUT FOR ME.


YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN PASSED BY AND OVERLOOKED, AND FORGOTTEN IN A PRISON OF DISPAIR, EMPTINESS, AND NOTHINGNESS,  THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN UNGRATEFUL FOR YOUR EFFORTS.  DON’T BE SURPRISED AT THIS.  AS YOUR FOCUS TURNS TO ME (THE KING AND THE KING ALONE)… I WILL TURN YOUR CAPTIVITY AROUND. 

WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN TRIED THROUGH THE FIRES OF AFFLICTION… YOUR SITUATIONS WILL BE TURNED AROUND…  RELEASE ALL BITTERNESS, RESENTMENT, UNFORGIVENESS AND ANGER TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU FAVOR DURING PRISON TIMES, AND YOU WILL RISE QUICKLY TO THE TOP FROM PRISON WALLS TO PALACE.  YOU WILL REALIZE MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT EVEN IN TIMES WHEN YOU ARE AT YOUR LOWEST AND FEEL YOU HAVE HOPED AGAINST HOPE. 

AS YOU ARE TRIED IN THESE AREAS… IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME WITHOUT WARNING, WHEN YOU WOULD SEEMINGLY BELIEVE YOU HAVE HAD NO TIME TO PREPARE, BUT, YOU WILL BE READY BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND RIGHT ORDER.  YOU WILL TEACH THE BODY OF CHRIST ABOUT

“MY SURVIVAL PLAN IN FAMINE”  YOU WILL PARTAKE OF A FEAST IN THE MIDST OF FAMINE..


THE PREPARING FOR FAMINE IS DRAWING NEAR TO ME, SO I MAY PLANT SEEDS THAT WILL BRING FORTH A HARVEST OF PLENTY IN DAYS OF LACK.  LABORING TO ENTER INTO MY REST WILL PRODUCE THE ANOINTING UPON YOUR LIFE.  BEING ASLEEP AND LETHARGIC AT THIS TIME IS NOT AN OPTION. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU, IF YOU WILL BUT COME TO ME.  THE PLANNING IS DONE IN PRAYER AND TIME ALONE PREPARING THE STOREHOUSE OF YOUR HEART FOR TIMES OF LACK. SPENDING TIME WITH ME IS WHERE YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR SUSTENANCE AND I WILL FILL YOUR STOREHOUSE WITH PLENTY.. FILL YOUR LAMPS WITH MY SPIRITUAL FOOD TO HAVE AS A TREASURE AND TO HAVE IN ABUNDANCE TO SHARE. THE MORE YOU SEEK ME, THE MORE I WILL FILL YOU.. YOUR LAMPS WILL BE FILLED AND LIT AND NOT LEFT WANTING.   YOU MAY BE STARVING IN A PRISON RIGHT NOW, BUT REMEMBER IT IS ONLY PREPARATION FOR THE GREATER.  JUST REMEMBER IT TAKES TIME FOR CROPS TO PRODUCE.  THE SEED IS PLANTED IN A DARK PLACE AND SEEMS TO BE ALL BUT DEAD, BUT A MIRACLE TAKES PLACE AND BEFORE LONG YOU WILL SEE IT BEING FREED FROM THE DARK GROUND AND IT WILL IMMERGE AND BRING FORTH FRUIT.!

I DESIRE FOR MY BELOVED TO BE AWAKE AND NOT ASLEEP IN THESE COMING DAYS. IT IS NOT A TIME FOR SLUMBER. .. FAMINE IS COMING AND IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO SEEK ME FOR DISCERNMENT AND WAYS FOR OPEN OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK MY WORD .. TO SHARE THE TRUTH .. TO FEED MY LAMBS, MY SHEEP.  YOU WILL FIND THE STARVING AND HUNGRY ALONG THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS.  INQUIRE OF ME AS TO HOW TO REACH OUT TO THEM.   

I DESIRE TO HEAL THE ANGUISH OF YOUR YOUTHFUL FAILURES AND FOLLIES AND TO MAKE YOU A FRUITFUL LAND… YOU WILL REMAIN SILENT IN TIMES WHEN YOU COULD SAY “I TOLD YOU SO”. YOU WILL NO LONGER TRY TO JUSTIFY YOURSELF.  YOU WILL NO LONGER REHEARSE OVER AND OVER THE ACCOUNTS OF PAST AREAS OF REJECTION AND WOUNDINGS.. AND ALLOW THE ENEMY TO CAUSE YOU TO BELIEVE YOU ARE SIMPLY THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER .  YOU WILL SEE, RECOGNIZE, ADMIT YOUR PART AND REPENT WITH NO DEFENSE OR EXCUSES  ….AND I WILL TURN THE TABLES ON THE ENEMY FOR YOU.


JUST AS JOSEPH WAS SENT AHEAD TO PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS FAMILY AND OTHERS, SO SEND I YOU.. WHAT THE ENEMY MEANT FOR EVIL IN YOUR  LIFE WILL BE TURNED FOR GOOD IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO BREAK THE AREAS OF PRIDE AND RESISTANCE IN YOUR LIFE.  THE ISOLATION AND LONLINESS YOU HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HAS BEEN A TRYING TIME TO UPROOT ANY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN IDOLS IN YOUR LIFE, ANY AREAS THAT YOU HAVE PLACE BEFORE ME… I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION.  BUT, IF YOU WILL YIELD TO ME, I WILL PLACE YOU IN AUTHORITY. 


THE JOSEPH COMPANY I AM NOW RAISING UP …MY LAST DAY REMNANT, ARE A PEOPLE WHO WILL REVEAL TO MY PEOPLE WAYS OF BREAKING OUT  OF “SPIRITUAL FAMINE”.  FOR IT CAN BE COLD AND DESOLATE WITH STARVATION IN PRISON.


MY JOSEPHS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TESTINGS, THE PRISONS, AND FIRES, AND HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL TO ME, EVEN IN TIMES WHEN THEY FELT THEY FAILED AND HAD BEEN ABANDONED AND FORGOTTEN BY ME.  BUT, I DESIRE TO TAKE YOU FROM PRISON TO PRAISE!!


RECEIVE MY FAVOR, AND MY COAT OF MANY COLORS WHICH WILL BE EVIDENT TO MANY.  A GARMENT  NOT MADE BY HANDS, BUT MADE WITH THE MANY COLORS AND FACETS OF MY LOVE  DEMONSTRATED IN KINDNESS AND GRACE DURING YOUR PRISON TIME ….MY JOSEPH COMPANY IS A SET APART PEOPLE.  DON’T BE SURPRISED THAT THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WILL ENVY AND TRY TO DESTROY THAT WHICH I HAVE PLACED UPON YOUR LIFE.


I WILL GIVE UNTO YOU THE KEY TO MY STOREHOUSE IN THE NATURAL AND IN THE SPIRITUAL TO FEED MY PEOPLE  IN FAMINE.


FOR, I HAVE CALLED YOU TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER… YOUR SPIRITUAL AND NATURAL HOUSE… AN ADMINISTRATOR WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN DOMINION OVER MUCH…  I WILL USE YOU TO TRANSLATE MY PLAN FOR MY PEOPLE INTO PRACTICAL ACTIONS. FEEDING THEM WITH MY WORD, TEACHING KINGDOM PRINCIPLES.  FOOD FOR THE COMING FAMINE. 


WHAT MATTERS MOST IS NOT THE EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR LIFE, BUT WHAT YOUR RESPONSE TO THEM IS.  FOR I CAN TURN ANY SITUATION FOR GOOD IF YOU WILL BUT TRUST IN ME , ALLOW ME TO DO THE WORK IN YOU,  AND WAIT JOYFULLY FOR THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED.  YOUR FAITHFULNESS TO ME WILL CAUSE A HEALING OF THE ANGUISH OF YOUR PAST HURTS AND A FRUITFULNESS IN THE LAND I HAVE PREPARED FOR YOU.!!  YOU WILL DEMONSTRATE FORGIVENESS AND THE SHOWERING OF MY GOODNESS THROUGH OBEDIENCE.

JESUS... THE COAT OF
MANY COLORS
 FOR ALL NATIONS  My late husband and myself had this print and we had it on the wall in our office ...  I love it and I bought Bart a many colored sweater that he wore all the time .. and we called it his coat of many colors sweater!  I then gave it to my second late husband and his name really was Joseph!!  He loved it too .. There was a man in our congregation who had always loved the print above with Jesus in His coat of many colors with all the nations flags ... I knew the print was to go to this faithful servant in our church ...
Father ... please place the anointing of your coat of many colors upon those who don't know who they are .. those who do not know they are favored ... bless them and please let them know that you can bring them from prison to palace if they will but trust and serve you.  Amen
