God causes everything to succeed

S: “The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.”

Genesis 39:2-3 NLT

“From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the LORD began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.”

Genesis 39:5 NLT

“But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the LORD made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden. Genesis 39:21 NLT

The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The LORD was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.”

Genesis 39:23 NLT

“And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.””

Genesis 40:8 NLT

O: Potiphar noticed the Lord with Joseph and that Joseph succeed at everything he did. Potiphar than gave Jospeh all responsibility in his household with no worry for Potiphar house benefited from Joseph's favor. Potiphar, without asking Joseph, through him in jail due to a lie from his wife. How could he believe his wife wanted another man. Of course he wanted her. However, the Lord was with Joseph and was the favorite in prison. The warden gave Joseph all responsibility over the other prisoners with no worry because God caused everything for Joseph to succeed. 

A: The Lord caused Joseph to succeed to Potiphars house from being sold by his brothers. The Lord caused Joseph to succeed to prison although he falsely caused of attempting to rape Potiphars wife. In each place of suffering the Lord was with Joseph and caused him to succeed. As I get back to grinding in this timeline I will discover the turning points in my life are because the Lord was with me and caused me to succeed. Like Sister G said, my life was hard, doesn't mean that ever place, everything I suffer in has to be hard. For with God all things are possible!!!! 

P: Abba! How magnificent and holy are you oh Sovereign God! You are always with me, even before my life began. You are with me and you are for me. No matter what I face I will succeed, no matter what I have faced I will succeed. For you rod and your staff have comforted me. And I praise you!!!! I will get back to the timeline, no matter how hard it is, nothing is to hard for you oh Lord who are with me and cause me to succeed in everything I do. You are awesome!!!! What a phenomenal God you are!!!! I thank you and praise your holy name! Alpha and Omega!!!! I worship you!!!! I worship you, I never seize to worship you! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray, amen.

All the more

S: “His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them.” Genesis 37:8 NLT

O: Jacob loved Jospeh more than he loved any of his other sons, therefore the other sons were spiteful of Joseph. Never saying a kind word to him. Yet Joseph didn't let that interfere with who he was. He engaged with brothers and spoke about his dreams. Even shared them with his father. Due to the brothers already despising Joseph, a mention of him being King was preposterous and hated him all the more.

A: All the more they hated him, talked about him. Sold him into slavery and didn't believe in him. They despised him so much they were willing to deal with the fathers sadness for him. Like Joseph my siblings despise me, in some kind of way. Rachel and Junior early on expressed how they felt. Michael and Emmanuel  ignore it exist and Tana is now bringing things from mom to light. In no way do I live my life above there's. I'm no better than them. We all came out of the same situation, we all chose different routes. My route includes filling my dreams which is Gods gift and call for my life. No matter what, I am an encourager, I will always encourage. I am a professional speaker, I will always speak. The key thing I can learn from Joseph is remain who I am despite of what others may say or do. Even to the point of not believing in you. For God who gifted me, believes in me.

P: You are the God that sees me. You notice my misery. You see that I am unloved and no affection is given to me. Thank you for being my strength through it all. I know that I need to hold to your words about me all the more right now. You are my all in all. I will praise you like Leah and I will trust you and stay focused on my dreams like Jospeh. You are wonderful oh God. I pray this all in Jesus name, amen.

You promised me

S: “Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my grandfather Abraham, and God of my father, Isaac—O LORD, you told me, ‘Return to your own land and to your relatives.’ And you promised me, ‘I will treat you kindly.’ I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant. When I left home and crossed the Jordan River, I owned nothing except a walking stick. Now my household fills two large camps! O LORD, please rescue me from the hand of my brother, Esau. I am afraid that he is coming to attack me, along with my wives and children. But you promised me, ‘I will surely treat you kindly, and I will multiply your descendants until they become as numerous as the sands along the seashore—too many to count.’””

Genesis 32:9-12 NLT

O: Esau and Jacob since birth had an unusual relationship, especially being twins. Jacob had held up his name as deceiver. Now, 20 years later Jacob feels there maybe still tension between them. He then prays and reminds God, you called me to go back to my families land, be with my brother and also be with me as you have promised. 

A: God has called me back to Denver and as it stands, there's a lot of hostility between Tana and I for sure. Who knows with the other siblings or even with the rest of the family. Yet a key thing Jacob did was pray. I have to pray, pray hard and pray fervently. My calling, my child and my promise lies within the city of Denver, I must pray against anything that may come against it. I must protect it at all cost. 

P: Oh God of Sarah, Rebecca and Leah, you told me to return to Denver and you promised me I would reclaim what the enemy has taken from me. Like Jacob, I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant. When I left Denver I was broken, addicted and misused. Now, I am a strong woman of God, a wife, a mother and a courageous and confident speaker!!!! O LORD, please rescue me from the hand of my sister, Tana. I am afraid that she has attacked me, along with my husband and child. But you promised me, ‘I will surely be with you until the day of completion, when Chroat Jesus returns. I may be in suffering, but great is he, are you that is within me. I no longer am a slave to fear, for I am your child oh God! I pray this all in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

God has seen

S: “In fact, if the God of my father had not been on my side—the God of Abraham and the fearsome God of Isaac —you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen your abuse and my hard work. That is why he appeared to you last night and rebuked you!”” Genesis 31:42 NLT

O: Twenty years in total Jacob spent with his father-in-law. Fourteen for his wives and 6 for the flock. Although Jacob labored for it all Laban still called it his. They're my daughters, my grandchildren and my flock. Laban proved through his words and actions he would have left Jacob empty handed. Therefore God has to meet him and say don't harm him. 

A: As I observe the relationship between Jacob and Laban I'm reminded of my relationships with my family, siblings and in-laws. I'm alone on my island suffering. However, also like Jacob God sees me, the abuse, the hard work the suffering and he stands in the gap for me.

Specifics

S: ““O LORD, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham. See, I am standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming out to draw water. This is my request. I will ask one of them, ‘Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’—let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that you have shown unfailing love to my master.” Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah.”

Genesis 24:12-15 NLT

““Then I bowed low and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master, Abraham, because he had led me straight to my master’s niece to be his son’s wife.” Genesis 24:48 NLT

“But he said, “Don’t delay me. The LORD has made my mission successful; now send me back so I can return to my master.”” Genesis 24:56 NLT

O: Not only did the servant pray faithfully for success, he gave specifics. Not this vague, oh God make your answer clear to me. He prayed let me be successful and this how I will know if I was successful. And before he was done praying there she was. After his vision for  success was completed he didn't become arrogant or prideful. He worshiped God. Not only did God follow through on exactly what the servant prayed, the woman also happened to be Abrahams niece, exactly what Abrhan requested. Rebecca's family again confirmed the seen acts success. They responded, how can we decline, God sent you. Again, the servant worshipped. The next morning however, the servant is ready to return home with his task completed but the family tried to delay. Yet Rebecca comes in and says I want to go with him and together they return. 

A: I have prayed for my gift and calling. I have fought spiritual battles and have won to be where I am. Now it's time to pray specifically about how this gifting will be played out. It's time to write that letter form my 80 year old self. As I pray this pray I must also understand that it's not about me, I must become selfless and lay my life down for the sake of the gospel, the sake of his will. Therefore worship is what I do after every bit of success. My gift, my calling, my success will be acknowledged. Many will try to delay me but my gift will believe in me and believe for me. Speaking and I are one, we will return to the Lord together. In Jesus name.

P: God you are worthy to be praised. You are high and lifted up. You are wonderful, holy and mighty. You alone make me victorious! As I prepare to write this letter please ordain my thoughts. May I not hold myself back as I get into specifics. You know the desires of my heart, reveal to me parts I may not have tapped into yet. Show me your glory. I long to be faithful to your will. I want to be where you are! I long to be where you are. As I outline my life may all paths lead to you. In your name Lord Jesus I give it all. In Jesus name.

He has already prepared

S: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT

O: I am designed with a specific purpose to change the world. It was already planned for me. All I need to do is declare daily my authority in Christ. 

P: Oh God my God! You are worthy to be praised!!!! I lift your holy name!!!! You deserve the all glory and honor! My life is only lived fully not just knowing, accepting and embracing who I am in you, but living out exhortation through public speaking in every encounter and bring my burdens to you. I've never been more ready than I am now! I need your strength daily. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, in his mighty power. I take authority over my emotions, decisions, health, wealth, body, soul spirit, thoughts, my desires, gifting, temptation, voice and free will. I belong to you oh Lord! I AM THE DAUGHTER OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! I belong to him. Satan, I have more authority than you do. You have no power here and no rights here. You are not welcomed here, I command you to go away. By the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I now destroy all enemy bonds. I bind all entities to cross. In your name Lord Jesus amen.

Only God

1/14/15

S: Only God can convince him.’”

Job 32:13b NLT

O: In context of this scripture, the youngest of Jobs friend has finally decided to speak out what was on his mind regarding Job. He looks to the other two and says you didn't even try and refute what job has been saying. And don't say it's because he's to wise and only Gid can convince him. The matter of fact is, only God can convince Job! Not because of mans wisdom, but because of Gods. What all the friends failed to do was to lift Job up to God. Instead they tried to convince him he had done wrong and his suffering therefore reflects the wrong. We who have a deep relationship with Chrsit are unable to convince the religious or the unbeliever to do what we feel is right that they should be doing. They were to be Jobs friend, no a thorn in there side. 

A: Likewise, with Jihn I have over stepped my boundaries. I am wide and cop aren't with him, not above him. Who am I to say who he is and govern what he should be doing. I am to support when needed and help Sheperding and instruct our daughter alongside him. For only God can convince him of who he is and govern wheeee he should go. Therefore, I will try my best to pursue Liz and all Gid has given her to do!

P: Holy! Holy, holy is your name oh God of my strength! How deeply I need you oh Lord!!!! How deeply I yearn for your strength to take over. I am weak with men and succumb to who they want me to be instead of giving my relational heart to you to hold. I've never been at such a peace in my life sexually. You truly are doing a great work beyond my wildest dreams. But today, I am weak in love, in dysfunctional love. I believe you have called me to be a woman of action that by my actions it would lead my marriage to the cross. Only you know where John is at, please give me strength to stand in the word that you have and wait in you. Lord I want to wait for you. Hear my beards cry and strengthen me oh God, bring forth the strength already in me father. I take authority over my emotions. Over my marriage and over response. You are wonderful oh Heavenly Father. Thank you for all you are doing within me.  In Jesua name I pray, amen.
