  Shepherd's voice. Lead us God, into the pen.

  Lord, we just want more of you. God, I pray that as we open up

  Let your word be washed over us, over our minds.
• 0:37
  God, renew us today. God, let us walk in your paths.

  We exchange all of our filthy rags, God, for your
• 0:48
  righteousness today, God, keep us from the enemy.
• 0:51
  Keep us, Lord, from all the schemes of the enemy.
• 0:55
  God, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus for a force field of
• 0:59
  protection around this house. God, I pray you'll bind the
• 1:04
  enemy and cast them into the judgment that you have awaiting
• 1:08
  for him. In the mighty name of Jesus
• 1:10
  Christ. God, we demolish all
• 1:12
  strongholds. We war against all of the
• 1:17
  demonic principalities, all the demonic entities, God, and we
• 1:23
  claim the mighty name of Jesus. We waive the banner over our
• 1:28
  lives. Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Jireh,
• 1:32
  Jehovah Rapha. You're the provider, the healer,
• 1:35
  the banner. You're the protector God.
• 1:38
  You are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
• 1:41
  You are life itself, your breath, your Yahweh.
• 1:46
  I deny you're the Lord Helian, the Most High God, You are the
• 1:53
  loftiest entity in all the universe, higher than any other,
• 1:59
  worthy to be praised. King Jesus, let the train of
• 2:03
  your robe fill the temple. We reach out, We grab the hem of
• 2:06
  your garment. God, we receive our healing
• 2:08
  today. We receive our adoption today we
• 2:12
  cry. ABBA, Daddy, Father, save us,
• 2:21
  rescue us, keep us, show us your glory.
• 2:33
  Let your glory encompass all around us.
• 2:38
  Everyone in the temple, Christ, holy you are, Holy Father,
• 2:46
  You're high, set apart. There's none like you.
• 2:56
  You're the only one worthy of our worship.
• 3:01
  You are the only one worthy of our adoration.
• 3:05
  It is King Jesus who is the King of kings, and he's the Lord of
• 3:11
  Lords. There's only one God, Yahweh,
• 3:21
  the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 3:28
  We worship you today in spirit and truth.
• 3:34
  We cry out, Come Lord, come Maranatha, come.
• 3:45
  We thank you, God, for your holy scriptures that are alive and
• 3:48
  active, that are inspired and breathed upon, and they are
• 3:53
  reading us as we open them up. They're discerning us as we try
• 3:58
  and get into them. Father, we open them up in
• 4:00
  obedience unto you. Help us to walk in obedience
• 4:03
  unto you. Help us to do the things that
• 4:05
  you've asked us to do. Help us not to fall and to slip
• 4:08
  back and to slide back God, into all of our carnal impulses.
• 4:13
  Lord, I pray that we'll actually be the people who are called by
• 4:17
  your name, who actually do the things that you would have us to
• 4:21
  do for such a time as this, unto this wicked and dark and
• 4:25
  perverse generation. God, let us be the difference
• 4:28
  makers. Let us be the city on a hill.
• 4:31
  God, let us be light and salt unto all of this world.
• 4:35
  Father, we love you, King Jesus, as in your holy and precious and
• 4:41
  powerful name, that I pray. Amen.
• 4:47
  Well, let's start in verse one. Then Joseph could not refrain
• 4:54
  himself before all them that stood by him.
• 4:58
  And he cried, 'cause every man to go out from me.
• 5:07
  And there stood no man with him while Joseph made himself known
• 5:13
  to his brothers. This is Jesus Christ when he
• 5:19
  finally gets a hold of the Jews. This is whenever all of the Jews
• 5:26
  finally understand that Jesus Christ is their elder brother.
• 5:31
  When they finally understand that He's the Savior of the
• 5:34
  world, the long-awaited Messiah. Verse 2 And he wept aloud, and
• 5:42
  the Egyptians in the House of Pharaoh heard.
• 5:45
  So here Joseph is very moved with the motion.
• 5:48
  He finally lets the cat out the bag, and lets his brothers know.
• 5:53
  I am Joseph, whom you sold into slavery. 3 And Joseph said unto
• 5:58
  his brothers, I am Joseph. Does my father yet live?
• 6:03
  And his brothers could not answer him, for they were
• 6:05
  troubled at his presence. So they were in awe.
• 6:09
  They were speechless and horrified that this mysterious
• 6:14
  man was the very one that they thought was dead and gone for.
• 6:21
  And Joseph said unto his brothers, Come near to me, I
• 6:25
  pray you. And they came near.
• 6:27
  And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into
• 6:33
  Egypt. So they sold him off into the
• 6:36
  Ishmaelites, and the Ishmaelites sold him off into Egypt, and he
• 6:39
  could have went anywhere, but here he is in old Egypt.
• 6:45
  And they are completely flabbergasted beside themselves,
• 6:50
  and speechless and horrified at their own acts.
• 6:55
  And that a dead man is now alive. 5 Now therefore be not
• 7:01
  grieved nor angry with yourselves that you sold me
• 7:04
  here, for God did send me before you to preserve life.
• 7:10
  So he's letting them know. Do not be troubled and disturbed
• 7:13
  within your own minds and hearts what you meant for evil, God
• 7:17
  used for great good. And it's the same thing in our
• 7:20
  lives, friends, All the things we try to hide, all the things
• 7:25
  that we're ashamed of. God wants to use all of the
• 7:30
  misery and turn it into a ministry.
• 7:33
  Never forget that. 6 For these two years has the famine been in
• 7:39
  the land yet? There are five years in the
• 7:42
  which shall neither be earring nor harvest.
• 7:45
  So he's saying we're just in the beginning stages of this
• 7:49
  terrible famine. Seven it.
• 7:53
  God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the
• 7:58
  earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
• 8:03
  So God, in his omnipotent omniscience, God knew just how
• 8:10
  to save the whole world from hunger and famine.
• 8:13
  And he does the same thing in our day and our hour.
• 8:16
  And I've never seen the righteous begging for bread. 8
• 8:24
  So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has
• 8:30
  made me a father to Pharaoh, and Lord of all his house, and a
• 8:35
  ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
• 8:38
  So here he gives them the pedigree, and says that Pharaoh
• 8:41
  has trusted him with everything, and if they had not sold him
• 8:45
  into slavery, then the world would be starving to death at
• 8:49
  this moment. 9 Haste you, and go up to my father, and say to him,
• 8:58
  Thus says the son Joseph, God has made me Lord of all Egypt.
• 9:05
  Come down to me. Tarry not.
• 9:08
  Do not wait another millisecond. Get on the cart and come back to
• 9:13
  me. He's telling Jacob to come down
• 9:17
  into Egypt and don't wait another moment. 10 You shall
• 9:23
  dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you,
• 9:28
  your children, your children's children, and your flocks and
• 9:32
  your herds and all that you have.
• 9:36
  So here we're going to see 70 people come down into Egypt, and
• 9:40
  400 years later, because of the segregation of the land of
• 9:47
  Egypt, the Israelites are going to be allowed to multiply and
• 9:51
  grow stronger and stronger and more numerable.
• 9:54
  And they're going to come out of that land 2 million deep, 11.
• 10:02
  And there I will nourish you, for yet there are five years of
• 10:06
  famine, unless you and your household and all that you have
• 10:09
  come to poverty. So he sang, Do not stay in
• 10:13
  Canaan, or you will die of hunger and famine and
• 10:17
  starvation. Come down into Egypt and be well
• 10:21
  fed. 12 And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother
• 10:27
  Benjamin, that is, in that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
• 10:33
  So he's saying, not only do you brothers see that it's me, but
• 10:36
  Benjamin sees that it's me. Go and grab my father, and y'all
• 10:40
  all come down with your wives and children and livestock. 13
• 10:46
  And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of
• 10:50
  all that you have seen, and you shall haste and bring down my
• 10:54
  father here. So he's saying, don't wait
• 10:57
  another minute, go grab Jacob, come down into Egypt, and this
• 11:01
  is the plan of God. 14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's
• 11:06
  neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
• 11:09
  So here these full brothers, from the same dad and the same
• 11:12
  mom, they come, and they fall upon each other with great
• 11:16
  emotion. 15 Moreover, he kissed all his brothers and wept upon
• 11:22
  them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
• 11:25
  Can you imagine the conversation and how it must have went, the
• 11:29
  apologies, all of the considerations, all of the
• 11:37
  formalities, all of the tears and the laughs?
• 11:43
  16 and the fame of It was heard in Pharaoh's house saying,
• 11:49
  Joseph's brothers are come. And it pleased Pharaoh well, and
• 11:53
  his servants, even though the Egyptians thought of themselves
• 11:57
  as better than these Hebrews, they were very pleased that this
• 12:04
  man who saved the land and could interpret dreams that his family
• 12:08
  had come from this Pagan land into their land. 17 And Pharaoh
• 12:16
  said unto Joseph, Say to your brothers, this you do, load your
• 12:21
  beast, and go get you into the land of Canaan. 18 Take your
• 12:27
  father, your households, and come unto me, and I will give
• 12:31
  you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat
• 12:34
  of the land. So here Pharaoh puts a stamp of
• 12:37
  approval upon this whole scene, and says, Go and get your
• 12:41
  family, and bring them here, and they'll be well taken care of.
• 12:47
  19 Now you are commanded this, you do take wagons out of the
• 12:52
  land of Egypt for your little ones, for your wives, and bring
• 12:56
  your father and come. So this amazing technology of
• 13:01
  these wagons and he's saying used them to go and get them and
• 13:05
  bring them back. 20 And regard not your stuff for the good of
• 13:13
  all. The land of Egypt is yours.
• 13:16
  It's what God tells us friends. Don't worry about being hyper
• 13:22
  materialistic to being in love with stuff.
• 13:27
  Live open handed, God will take care of you. 21 And the children
• 13:36
  of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons according to
• 13:40
  the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
• 13:44
  22 And all of them he gave each man changes of clothing, but to
• 13:48
  Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of
• 13:53
  clothing. So we see Benjamin getting the
• 13:56
  royal treatment here. 23 And to his father he sent after this
• 14:04
  manner, 10 donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and 10
• 14:09
  female donkeys loaded with corn and bread and meat for his
• 14:13
  father, by the way. So here he is sending these
• 14:19
  gifts unto his father to prove that all of the stories of the
• 14:23
  brothers line up. 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they
• 14:29
  departed. And he said to them, See that
• 14:32
  you fall not out. By the way, he's saying, when
• 14:34
  you leave my presence, don't go about arguing and complaining
• 14:39
  and blaming each other. Stay in very good spirits. 25
• 14:47
  And they went up out of the out of Egypt, and came into the land
• 14:51
  of Canaan to their Jacob, their father. 26 and told him, saying,
• 14:57
  Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over the land of Egypt.
• 15:04
  And Jacob's heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
• 15:08
  When they came back to Joseph with the ripped up coat of many
• 15:13
  colors dipped in goat's blood, he was quick to believe that
• 15:18
  Joseph was dead. But now they come back with news
• 15:21
  that Joseph is alive, and he's quick to not believe them.
• 15:26
  And you can see the futility of humanity.
• 15:29
  Friends. 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph which he
• 15:34
  had said unto them. And when he saw the wagons which
• 15:37
  Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father
• 15:41
  revived will end on. 28 And Israel said, It is enough,
• 15:48
  Joseph, my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I
• 15:52
  die. What an amazing chapter in God's
• 15:56
  word. I hope you've been blessed by
• 15:57
  it. I know I sure have.
• 15:59
  You can see that God's taken care of the whole situation and
• 16:04
  this little scene of wagons and all the provisions was enough to
• 16:08
  convince Jacob that Joseph was still alive and he said I'm
• 16:13
  going to go see him before I die.
• 16:16
  Hope you've been blessed by it. I know I have been many times
• 16:21
  over. What an encouragement to the
• 16:22
  Spirit, the spiritual nourishment as we feast upon the
• 16:27
  Word of God. We eat the daily bread and we're
• 16:30
  satisfied. Drink from the well friends,
• 16:37
  you'll never be thirsty again. I love you.
• 16:41
  I'm praying for you. We'll see you back here
• 16:44
  tomorrow. God bless you.
