JOSEPH'S COAT OF MANY COLORS
JOSEPH COMPANY
GENESIS 39-41
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,
'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.
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
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
