The Heart of Christ Must be formed in Us ultimately fashioning Us into Redeemers.
Genesis 39:21-23
In verses 21-23 it says, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison: whatever they did there, it was his doing. The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.” We find another layer of God’sblessing in the midst of additional crushing circumstances. Joseph continued to suffer injustices, but God showed up and helped him get promoted, even while in prison. It takes incredible fortitude to walk through God\’s School of Obedience and to endure the things that happen when we are there. We need to remember that the Heart of Christ was being formed in Joseph and we can watch the process develop that ultimately fashions him into a redeemer. It is one thing to simply be redeemed. But it is another to have God sculpt us to be an agent of redemption. He wants to use us to redeem others and we have to walk through the growth process it takes to get there! Submitting to the growth process is an important step. Becoming God’s ambassador is next because Christ in us, the hope of glory, has to have an expression of redemption to others. It was God\’s plan all along!
- Pray against the spirit of the antichrist. This is spirit that is operating in the life of people who decide to disobey God. It is operating in the nations when laws that are against the will of God are passed.
- Pray that your voice will be distinct enough to be understood. What you are shouting, crying, instructing, writing or speaking forth will be understood.
- Utter the voice of the Lord over every God-ordained endeavor in this season of new beginnings at every level of your life and in the territory at large.
