                    Arise My Joseph's
 
We are days of many testing and trials, but fret not, for I am your God. 
I am the Alpha and the Omega and in Me, you are more than conquers. 
Put on My full armor and go forth, for the battle is not yours, it is 
Mine. 

I am raising up My Joseph's to go forth and obey My voice. Don't dwell 
on your present situation and how it seems in the natural. Stay focused 
on Me, and on the task and destiny I have for you, for there will be 
much adversaries trying to throw you off the plans I have given you. 

Look at the life of Joseph. He was sold as a slave, tempted by the wife 
of his master, thrown in prison. He remained faithful and obedient to 
Me despite the circumstances. Joseph was like most of you, and I called 
and spoke to him. I gave him visions and dreams to set many free from 
famine and turn a nation around. Joseph remained steadfast and diligent 
to serve Me and to fulfill the plans I had for Him. He remained faithful 
My the call, and I used him mightily.

So, My Josephs, don't be discouraged by circumstances. Walk by faith, 
knowing I have called you and I am going to use you. Stand firm and 
resist every trial every scheme of adversity, and remain focused on Me.
