The Joseph Generation

And let's wave those Bibles around, make Jesus glad and the devil mad.

Let's say this together say, heavenly Father, I'm glad to be tuned in tonight and I'm tuned into your frequency, father.

I have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to me out of your holy Word and I have a heart of obedience.

I want to hear and obey what you have for me and I give you the praise for the victory in Jesus' name, amen.

Let's look at Genesis 41 chapter and also Psalm 105, while you're finding some places there in your Bible.

Genesis 41, we'll start reading with verse 37.

This is right after Joseph in prison was able to interpret the king's dream which was foretelling a famine that was about to come on Egypt.

And verse 37, the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.

And Pharaoh said unto his servants can we find such a one as this is a man in whom the Spirit of God is.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph for as much as God has showed me all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art, thou shalt be over my house and according to unto thy word shall all my people be ruled, and my margin says that all my people would be armed or all my people shall kiss.

I want you to keep that in mind.

That's kind of an interesting interpretation there of the Hebrew.

And only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph see, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh took off the ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand and arrayed him investors of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had.

And they cried before him bow the knee, bow the knee.

And that Hebrew there also means tender father, tender father.

And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

All right, and then, in Psalm 105, verse 17, god sent a man before them, that is, before Israel, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant whose feet they hurt with fetters.

Psalms 105:17

He was laid in iron or his soul came into iron Until the time that his word came.

The word of the Lord tried him, the king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the people and let him go free.

He made him Lord of his house and ruler of all his substance to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his senators wisdom.

And so tonight I wanted to share a message entitled the Joseph generation.

The Joseph generation, you know Joseph is an apostolic type.

He's a type of Jesus.

You know he's good.

He was reunited with his brothers.

Joe Jesus is going to be reunited with his Jewish brothers.

They're going to look on him, whom they've pierced.

They looked on Joseph, whom they had sold into slavery.

There was a tearful reunion and, and you know, they got back together again.

You know there was a, there was a healing, there was a, you know, a healing of their relationship.

I tell you all Israel shall be saved in the end.

Israel is going to come to know Jesus as their Messiah.

They're going to weep bitter tears because all along he was there, he was their Messiah and they denied it.

They'll have to come to grips with that as a nation and they will.

So he is a type of, of a, he's a type.

Joseph is a type of Jesus.

You know we like to teach a lot about who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ, through Christ in Christ.

Well, part of that is looking at the types and shadows of the Old Testament, and we can gain a lot of knowledge about what we have now in our New Testament by examining Joseph, looking at him, because he is a type in shadow of Christ and we are partakers of what this is showing here.

In fact, 1 Corinthians, chapter 10, verse 32, says all these things are written for our admonition, upon whom the end of the age have come.

1 Corinthians 10:32

So the Old Testament is for us to, to glean and to and to look through and to see and look at it with new Testament eyes.

You know I have a, a Facebook page where we do posts every day and we have people from all over the.

We're up to 50, almost 5,800 followers now, fixed to get into 5,900 followers.

I believe by the end of the month we'll have 6,000 followers now, but many of them are number one.

They're giving up on on.

They're giving up on on America.

They're they're hard on America.

They look like they live in the Old Testament.

A lot of them are quoting Old Testament.

Look, let's get in the New Testament.

Maybe some of you are tuned in tonight.

Maybe you found me on this, on this broadcast.

Let's get out of the Old Testament except to find out what we have in the new.

Always look at the Old Testament with new Testament eyes.

Some of them are too hard on our nation, some of them are too hard on themselves, and it's just.

It's just, you know, it's a lack of good, solid Bible teaching across our nation, in in the church.

Thank God we're, we're in a place where we're waking people up, amen.

So again, getting back to this, this teaching it's we're teaching about the Joseph generation and Joseph is an apostolic type.

He was a sent one.

He was sent before Israel.

God sent him.

He said you know, I know that you, you sold me into slavery, but God, and you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good, to to save a live, apostarity.

And so that's exactly what Jesus.

Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and, and now we are his body on the earth and we're sent.

You know God, jesus sent as the father has sent me, so send I you.

So the church is apostolic.

I'm not claiming an apostolic, I'm not claiming to be an apostle.

I'll let my, I'll let my anointing speak for itself.

I'm not looking for a title.

I'm looking for to teach you the Bible so that you'll know what kind of DNA is in this church and really it's in all of the true church.

It's a, it's an apostolic DNA and it was prophesied over this church years ago and confirmed by a couple of other different ministries that I, that I respect, that this is an apostolic vine with a prophetic river, and that's that really has proven out over all these years.

And so it's.

You know, the apostolic is more than just a financial supplier.

We see here that that Joseph was a financial supply to, to Egypt, but it includes a forerunner, it includes a pioneer, kingdom authority, a generational positioning.

Look, look at Joseph.

He went from the prison to the palace, just like that, overnight, and amazing, what a, what a testimony I'm here.

He was languishing in obscurity in the bottom of the prison and then, overnight, because of one gift of the spirit, he was risen to rural Egypt.

Kingdom authority, generational positioning, distribution, gathering, advancing, furnishing, finishing, seeing, moving, teaching All of those are apostolic terms and all of those fit glorious way, church.

And so we teach this so that you can discover what's in your DNA, what you can take advantage of in your life, and God is going to see to it that you grow in these things and you begin to exercise in your part of that anointing.

So, over the years, glorious way, church has evidenced an apostolic symbolism, as you've seen here in the word that we read here in Genesis 41.

And those three, those four pieces of objects that Pharaoh gave Joseph.

So let's go over those verse 42.

The first thing that that Pharaoh gave him after he told him he was ruling, he was second only to the, to the Pharaoh, only in the throne, you're, you're, you're, you're going to rule everywhere except the throne.

I'm in the throne, but you're ruling everywhere else.

And so he took off his ring and gave it to Joseph, the signet ring in verse 42, genesis 30, genesis 41, took off the ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand.

It's a signet ring.

You might have watched Ben Hur.

I watched Ben Hur on the Easter, past Easter, and the famous scene there where the Arab is going to the Roman soldiers.

And you know the guy that was the, that was the big rival to Ben Hur in the movie.

They grew up together.

He was a Roman soldier and was over the whole garrison at Rome, at Jerusalem, and they were betting on the chariot race and and he bet a big a figure, you know.

And and so the Arabs handed him his board.

He says Well, you know your word, I know, but you're going to have to strike it with your ring.

And he wanted him to guarantee that he was going to pay.

Well, he paid, all right, he paid with his life.

He died in that chariot race.

But he took his signet ring and he, you know, he hit that board and sealed it.

He signed it with his ring.

So the ring was how you sign documents, is how you signed proclamations.

And they saw that signet ring.

That was the Pharaoh's sign and it was law, and so it signifies kingdom, authority.

And when we go back over here to Psalm 105, it says here in verse 21, that the king sinned and loosed him.

Even the ruler of the people let him go free.

And he made him Lord at his Lord of his house, ruler of all his substance.

To bind his princes, to bind his leadership, say, he had captains over thousands and captains over hundreds.

They were the leaders not only of his army but of his entire government and he, he bound them at his pleasure.

The word bind means to God.

Really, I think the most accurate meaning of that word bind is to harness.

He harnessed them together so that when he made a proclamation.

They heard it, just like they would hear Pharaoh and they would.

They would absolutely obey him, as they did Pharaoh.

It's supernatural.

That's a supernatural for a jailbird.

It just got out of jail, he knew that's where he came from and yet overnight he was able to harness all the leadership, and all of the servants thought it was good, see, that God gave him favor.

God gave him a ruling place, and there's no other way it would have worked.

He's one man and there are many.

What if they decided to revolt?

They didn't why.

It was God's favor upon him, it's God's anointing upon him.

So he harnessed those leaders at his pleasure, and it speaks of a paradigm shift in power structures politically, financially, socially, spiritually, all across the board.

The entire nation of Egypt was realigned underneath Joseph.

See, this is the power the church has.

So this is part of my passion and part of my mandate from heaven is to wake up the church to its authority, to wake up the church.

This is all written here in types and shadows in the Old Testament, and the church itself is that power structure in the earth.

We don't have to put up with Biden.

We don't have to put up with Democrats and their nonsense.

We don't have to put up with all these local leaders acting like Hitler.

Let's, let's rise up and resist this and speak against it and carry ourselves with as people who have royal authority we do have, we have favor, we have royal authority from heaven to rule in this and to stop the spirit of antichrist from rising, which is, of course, what's going on right now.

Everything that you're watching is the spirit of antichrist, and it's time for the church to dial it back, and so that that king, a kingly anointing, is what I'm.

That's what the signet ring speaks of.

All right.

And then the second thing was that he gave him the, gave him the linen garments and actually, in my margin, it Raid him investors, a fine linen, it says, in my margin, find silk.

So you know, it's the finest.

You know the finest to garments that they had.

It was, it was Custom made, it was custom fit, and and no doubt that the royal tailor, the, fitted it to him and it had set him apart from everyone else and it was the same garments that Pharaoh had, and and so that that speaks of priestly garments.

It speaks of righteousness, purity, the nature of Christ.

It speaks of wisdom.

He taught his senators wisdom.

The word senator there means elders.

You know, in any society, the elders are the hardest ones to win over.

They've they've been there too long They've been.

They've seen everything.

You're not gonna pull the wool over most elders eyes.

They've been through life experiences and they're not quick to Jump on bandwagon's.

They've been stung more than once.

And so what happened?

Here's this young man in his 30s, again with the anointing of God, and he was able to teach the elders the wisdom that he had, and he would win them over.

I Said he'd win them over.

He did.

You know the ruling part I want to get to that in a moment but he was not a ruler that just made edicts and expected everybody to obey, or else he was able to convince people to follow him, and so he's not some megalomaniac or dictator, is what my point I think about.

First Corinthians 415,.

You know, though, you have 10,000 instructors and you have not many fathers, and, and really he was Like a father figure even though he was young.

He had the, he had the ancient of days Anointing on him.

You know, the anointing has the ability to even make young people seem Mature, and beyond their age, beyond their years, timothy is one that comes to mind.

They looked at Timothy and they just saw a young man.

But when he spoke and when he acted, he did with the ancient of days.

He was a.

He had that.

He had the Holy Ghost who's been around forever, you know, and that's a maturity there.

And so that's what he had.

You know, revelation one six.

You know, jesus has made us kings and priests under God.

So we have that kingly anointing, we have that priest anointing.

The priest is God's representative to man and man's representative to God.

We're the go between, we're the go between the priest, the priesthood of the believer, and we're the ambassadors.

We're ambassadors for Christ.

And so all of those things figure into the linen garments, all right.

And then the third thing that he gave him.

He's gave him a gold chain.

He put a gold chain about his neck.

Great prosperity entrusted to his stewardship, all the riches of Egypt were under his control.

And what did he use it for?

Well, he had to provide places of refuge and provision in the midst of famine.

You know, at first they had seven years of plenty.

So he had to, he had to gain control of all that grain and, uh, you know, and and and store it up, and then the famine started coming.

Well then, what?

Well then he sold the grain.

Well, what did?

What did the people use for money?

Eventually, they had to give him their land.

They ran out of money, the money failed, and uh.

And so then, what happened?

Well, they, uh, there was a vast transfer of wealth from the people to Pharaoh.

And who oversaw that?

Well, I'll tell you who oversaw it it was the.

It was the, uh, apostolic anointing of Joseph.

And so you know, when you talk about an apostolic anointing, that that's the governing over a transfer of wealth.

That's exactly where we're on the right, on the edges of that.

There's going to be a vast transfer of wealth out of the hands of the wicked into the hands of the righteous for the purposes of the harvest, amen.

It's going to take a lot of money to reap this harvest, and uh, and so that's part of that gold chain.

There's, there's plenty.

You know, god wants us to use our, our finances wisely, not to, not to, not to squander them, but also not to be so tight fisted.

Let's be generous.

And so he was generous at first, when everything was flowing in, but then, as it time went on, his wisdom took over and the people did get to eat.

They had to give up their land, but they got to eat.

They didn't starve, and so he bought all the property.

Just think about that.

I mean Pharaoh.

Uh, I wonder if Pharaoh would have had the guts to do that.

I'm not sure.

Yeah, little Jewish boy did, though.

I'm talking about the Joseph generation.

I'm talking about the DNA that's in this church specifically, and I've seen an increase in it over the years.

You know, we started teaching on this when, for those things went to heaven.

I started God began to deal with me about the apostolic.

I started getting words about it.

I remember one time I was out on my patio uh, you know, praying, and I tried to be on my patio today, but it was so hot and humid I had to go back inside.

But anyway, it was a spring day, it was a beautiful day, and I was out there just praying in the spirit and walking around.

Sometimes I get up and walk around and pray and and I felt something weighty on my shoulders.

You know, it felt like something had come on my shoulders and I turned to kind of look like this and I got a glimpse of a multicolored, uh, garment that was across my shell like a mantle just for an instant, and we'll wait and the weight of it was on me.

And then, when I turned back away from that and I and I and I immediately thought of Joseph's coat of many colors that his father made him and, uh, immediately when I turned back, I was on this big platform.

It looked like a boxing ring, but without the ropes, you know, just just a platform, and it was elevated above this territory and I could see out.

It was my backyard, but yet I could see out all this area below me from this platform and I felt like that was my place of authority.

And this, uh, this thing that I had seen and felt on me was a, was a new anointing.

This was just shortly after brother Osteen passed.

I was conscious of a, of an inheritance that I had gained and an anointing that I had dropped on me.

And I'm not saying, bro, those things, mantle, don't go out here and say that.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying something came from heaven for me.

And uh, and I began to receive uh revelation about what I'm teaching tonight.

But that's what our church is, that's what, that's what belongs to you as a member of this church, it really belongs to the church and I, and I want all churches to see that.

That apostolic anointing is there, uh, for every church, because we've been sent and we've been given the ability to rule and reign and to have and to govern over the transfer of wealth.

It's coming All right.

Then the next, uh, the last thing that happened was that he made him to ride in the second chariot.

Now, the word second there means identical or duplicate, duplicate, it's a duplicate chariot.

The chariot that he was given to ride in was identical to Pharaoh's.

I mean, it did not have rust, it did not have ball tires, it was not smoking.

You know it was not, it was not a junkie.

I mean it was identical to the royal chariot.

You know, in the Bible, when you see a chariot or when you see a ship, when you see, you know vehicles, though those are all pictures of a ministry, and so the chariot was a picture of Joseph's ministry and he moved in the same power and in the same authority as Pharaoh.

I want you to think about that a moment.

So the apostolic that we have in Christ is the church has the same anointing upon it that Jesus had.

It has the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead.

We have the same power, we have the same anointing, we have the same wisdom.

Oh, I tell you, when we get a hold of that, I mean we quit looking to everybody else, we quit looking for everybody else to pray for us, we quit looking around and find somebody else to do it.

No, we'd step up to the plate and do what God tells us to do, and we do it because we're anointed to do it.

And so you know, I think about 2 Corinthians, 12, 12, paul said you know, surely, the signs of an apostle were wrought among you, and all patience and signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

So Paul got a hold of that anointing.

He got a hold of the anointing of Jesus Christ, he found out who he was in Christ and he found out how to flow in that same anointing.

Well, I'm not saying it's the same in anoint, because Jesus was filled with a spirit without measure, and yet on an individual basis we have a measure.

It's not without measure, it's a measure.

So I'm not saying we're like Jesus in that, on an individual basis.

But I do believe, when the church rises up and gets into agreement, that the church itself will be filled with a spirit without measure.

I believe that's in our future.

I really do.

I believe that's what Jesus is coming for.

He's coming for a church that's filled with a spirit without measure and I believe we'll see it.

I believe we'll see it in our lifetime.

It's coming.

Let's prepare ourselves for it.

Signs and wonders and mighty deeds, praise God.

You know, last month we had an eclipse, we had a blood moon and now I think this week I think it's Thursday night we're gonna have what they call a strawberry moon.

And it's not called strawberry because the moon turns red, but it's called strawberry because now's the time when you pick strawberries.

But anyway, it's still.

It's an eclipse, it's a sign in the heavens, and every time it should remind us, because the Bible talks about signs in the heavens above, wonders in the earth beneath, and it should remind us that Jesus is coming soon.

I mean, the things that I'm preaching might seem like pie in the sky to you, they might seem like they're too great, they might seem like they're unattainable, but I just make the case that this church over the years, it's not about just making a leap from one place to another, but it's by being consistent, day by day by day and this church has been consistent day by day by day.

We're beginning to see the kind of influence that a church can have over, say, the political realm.

We're beginning to see it.

We're beginning to see the kind of influence that the church can have in the law enforcement realm.

We're beginning to see what kind of influence we can have in the affairs of a city, in a county.

I mean, this church is being noted and people know about this church because of the stands that we've taken and we've had favor.

We've had a certain amount of prominence.

Remember those words that God gave us at the beginning of 2019?

You know, he said, you know we're gonna have perspective, power and prominence.

Let's say that out loud perspective, power, prominence.

That's exactly what Joseph had.

He had the same thing God's perspective in that interpretation of that dream.

Then he was given the power and he was elevated to get the prominence.

He did an elbow his way to the top.

He was promoted.

See, god's not against us being promoted, he's against us promoting ourselves.

And so God does the promoting amen.

And so I've seen this over all these years 22 years I've been preaching this message right here tonight, but I wanna get it into you.

I wanna get it that you have belief.

You'll believe by faith, that you can walk in your measure and let God show you what it means to you in your life, in your career, your home, your business, whatever it is, your ministry, whatever it is you're involved with.

So Pharaoh made Joseph ruler over Egypt and he had authority, wisdom, provision and power to rule, and that's what the church is doing right now.

We're absolutely stopping the rise of the Antichrist until it's God's timing.

He will come about, he will be known, but we'll be gone.

That's my belief.

I'm a pre-trib person and so GWC is the Joseph generation to this world and many other churches like us.

We're not exclusive in that matter, but we are one.

We're the Joseph to this generation right now.

And we were raised up out of prison and we came into the palace.

I mean, there were days when there were I just think about the prison being the seventh day of Venice church that we were there for four and a half.

It's like being in prison.

Nobody knew we were there except God.

But we've been raised up out of prison to ride on chariots.

Amen, god has prepared a chariot for us, and so this anointing is honest to make a difference in this world, to govern and to rule over the transfer of wealth.

Praise God, the Joseph generation.

Come on, lift your hands and receive the word of God tonight.

Hallelujah, thank God, I hope it blessed you.

It blessed me to deliver it.

I like to remind myself of these things, and I just believe that we're living in those days.

Praise God, amen.
