Walking
in Joseph’s Footsteps
I have
seen all that you have been through and yes, I have allowed it, to try your
faith, to see if you love and fear Me, more than all. [Gen22:12]
Fear
not! All that the enemy has stolen shall
be restored! I AM your strength. Many desire to be strong for that which lies
ahead, yet they cannot endure even the trials that come in order to strengthen
and prepare them for these perilous times that are soon here. [Jer12:5]
No trial
is easy – no testing is pleasurable.
Testing is not chastisement. Was
I punishing or disciplining Joseph all the years that he had to endure or when
all seemed against him?
Surely
outwardly it appeared as though My hand was lifted up against him, yet the
reality was that I was preparing him, training him, testing him (Potiphar’s
wife – temptation; the wine-bearer’s promise – patience). All was allowed to mold him, in order to
raise him to a high position in a time of great distress and tribulation upon
the lands.
Surely
all seemed against him. Surely there were
those who were envious of his dreams (vision) and chose to separate themselves
from him, due to his ‘pride’. His
brethren (brothers) would have destroyed him (yet I would not allow it).
Therefore,
with great disdain, they rejected him and separated themselves from him by
handing him over to strangers, for a price (sold into slavery). Then, they lied about what happened to him.
His own
father, Jacob, who was himself displeased at Joseph’s dreams of all of his
family bowing down to him, wept bitterly over what he saw as the loss of a
beloved son.
Surely
fear, confusion, sorrow and helplessness swirled around Joseph, yet he
continued to hold fast to Me. Surely, he
wondered what he did to bring about such dire and tragic circumstances. He did nothing – nothing except share his
dreams (vision) with others (family).
Some are
not going through battles outwardly, but are being purged inwardly. Many have been going through times where
everything seems against them, even with brethren (family – spiritual as well as
biological) undoubtedly rejecting them, doubting that I am with them.
Yet, I
have positioned a ‘Potiphar’ in their lives; one who has favor towards them and
‘sees’ the fruit of their work and ‘sees’ that their God is with them. Though these ones feel imprisoned and
helpless by their circumstances, they know that I am with them and that there
is at least on ‘Potiphar’ who believes in them.
Howbeit, ‘Potiphar’ cannot change their circumstances; only I can.
Timing
is the Lord’s
Wait
upon My timing. Endure like a good
warrior (soldier). All that is coming
has been written. It is so. No one knows the exact timing of that which
is written, but the wise will stay close to me, preparing (spiritually) and in
all the ways that I lead.
As My
people trust in Me, leaning not upon their own understanding, but acknowledging
Me in all their ways, they are and will be directed by Me. Rejoice, for soon release shall come.
Soon,
you shall understand that all you have been through (though it seems fruitless,
unending and void of Me), know that indeed, it shall end. It shall be fruitful
(has purpose) and that I have been with you through it all.
All who
were imprisoned with Joseph observed that I (his God) was with him. He had respect from those who were in the
same place as him, which is why the prison ran so well. Even those who guarded over Joseph respected
him, although they had no power to release him either.
Again I
say to wait upon Me. After all of My
will is performed, then shall the promise (dream/vision) be made manifest. When famine and destitution come upon the
land, you will be positioned to perform all that you have been trained for and
tested in, by My Spirit and in My power, and not in man’s might or power. [Zec 4:6]
Lo! For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the
LORD, thoughts of peace (good), and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [Jer 29:11]
There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the
Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up
out of Egypt. [Hos2:15]
And I will bring the third part
through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will
try them as gold is tried: they
shall call on My name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The
LORD is my God. [Zec13:9]
Be holy
(set apart), as I AM holy. Continue in
picking up the cross daily, dying to self.
Keep a repentant heart and continue in obedience as I lead you. I have
heard your thanksgiving and praise. My
holy angels have joined you in your worship to Me. Your prayers are as sweet incense before My
throne.
Just
awhile longer and you shall see victory, for I AM He who has overcome the
world. Obey, endure (fight the good
fight) and wait upon My timing, as Gideon, as Joshua, as David, and yes, as
Joseph, and as all those who went before you.
These
are those who walk without compromise, not giving into temptations and have
separated from the unclean. Keep a pure
heart and clean hands. Wait upon Me; it
is not without reward.

Gene's book: Back to Tonic - Eugene Kiepura
Eugene Kiepura's
fourteen year old son, Jake, was killed in a horrific accident whilst
on a missions trip to Mexico. Jake, along with four other boys, one of
which was a 17 year old Mexican lad, were all killed when the van in
which they were travelling was involved in a head-on collision with a
semi-tractor trailer. The driver, who was the father of one of the boys
in the van, was also killed, totally six deaths.
Eugene writes:
MEMBERS OF A SMALL CHURCH GATHERED TOGETHER TO PRAY FOR
their youth leader and four boys who were about to embark on a mission
trip to Mexico. Seventeen days later, all five of them were dead.
Life painfully changed after the accident. After the
horrific experience of recovering the bodies and evading a greedy
American Embassy in Mexico, I returned home to find little in the way of
solace from the church family I was counting on. Instead, I was
expected to be a strong example of Christian faith for everyone else.
Attempting to conceal my emotional struggle would
eventually cause me to question both my sanity and relationship with
God. Being assured that the accident was all part of "His plan", my
concept of God turned into one of a cold and callus monarch. This wasn't
the God I had signed up for.
Listen to one man's struggle with faith when this tragedy happened
whilst his son was on a missions trip and how God brought him through
it.
for His glory
