ATTENTION JOSEPHS! THE BUTLER REMEMBERS! - PIT TO PINNACLE TIME!

 - by Joni Ames

 

Dear Josephs,

 

There are many of you who know that you are "Josephs" - both men and women. The Lord has given you dreams of success, in both business and ministry, and yet you have seemingly come to dead ends at every turn.

 

You've tried to step out into ministry, and you've tried to step out into business. When you failed alone, some of you even entered into agreements and partnerships with others, in an effort to overcome what you thought were your own failures, and those situations also crumbled. You've sat with your head in your hands, shook your head, and said, "God, what have I done wrong?!"

 

Just as when Joseph was in prison, there are those who promised you that they would remember and bring you into position when they succeeded. They, too, have forgotten you.

 

Timing belongs to the Lord alone. Although others have forgotten, the angelic "butlers" have been released and sent forth, for such a time as this, and this is the season in which the "butler" remembers (Genesis 41) and brings you before the King! Just as happened with Joseph, this is the time of  "suddenlies!" - Sudden phone calls, letters, inheritances, ideas, etc. It is the timing of the Lord for your coming forth from pit to pinnacle, seemingly "overnight!"

 

You do not have to sell out to a "lesser god." You are not for sale, and you never were. You were bought with a price - the blood of the Lamb - and no one can match that!

 

There are resumes that were lost, people that have forgotten you, money and things stolen from you, and opportunities that were given to others that were meant to be yours. None of that matters. The Holy Spirit, Himself, will bring you to the remembrance of those who are to be a part of bringing you into your success story, and you will step into it seemingly "overnight." Remember, your success is not dependent upon man, but God.

 

(12) Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, (13) and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. (14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble....(Heb 12:12-15)

 

This is a time of coming into alignment for God's positioning. There is a divine positioning and repositioning taking place. Do not get caught up into the "paralysis of analysis" and miss your "moment." Be ready for instant change and flexible so that the Lord may move and position you on the "chess board of life" into a position of success. Now would not be a good time to allow false humility to prevent you from promotion. Agree with God. Do not acquiesce your God given opportunity to come into divine alignment and divine agreement with success.

 

In the midst of the turmoil of the world, remember,  "the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." (Matt. 11:12) Continue to "wage war with the prophecies made concerning you." (I Tim. 1:18-19)

 

Position yourself to receive victory! Be cautious about the words you speak and do not waste time in discussing the things or people of the past who "did you wrong" or let you down. We don't wrestle with people or the past (Eph. 6:12) and do not need to question or fight God. He is on our side and has good plans for us! (Jer. 29:11) It is time to step up to the plate and walk in them!

 

Go forward into your Promised Land! "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." (Heb. 3:15)

 

Do not look back! "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." (Phillipians 3:13)

 


The Lord is your rear guard, and He covers your past and directs your future!

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. (Isa 30:21)

 

All of what you have been through has been preparation, "for such a time as this!" What you did was not wasted, but He wants you to know that it is HIM who does this. 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts. (Zech. 4:6)

 

Now, stand and see the glory of the Lord!

 

Blessings,

The least likely to succeed = the most likely to succeed, in Jesus. One of the things the Bible is clear about regarding God choosing those He can use is that you do not have to be professional, just available. The condemning voices of the enemy are constantly trying to discourage God's people from being what God called them to be. It seems that every time God wanted to use somebody in the Scriptures, it was the most unlikely of people He used to do the most exceptional things. Perhaps the reason is because He would then truly get the glory.
