Joseph's Coat

Genesis 37:5-7

Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. He said, "Listen to this dream I had. We were all out in the field gathering bundles of wheat. All of a sudden my bundle stood straight up and your bundles circled around it and bowed down to mine."

Genesis 37:31-35

"They took Joseph's coat, butchered a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood. They took the fancy coat back to their father and said, "We found this. Look it over—do you think this is your son's coat?"
He recognized it at once. "My son's coat—a wild animal has eaten him. Joseph torn limb from limb!" Jacob tore his clothes in grief, dressed in rough burlap, and mourned his son a long, long time. His sons and daughters tried to comfort him but he refused their comfort. "I'll go to the grave mourning my son." Oh, how his father wept for him."

Joseph's father loved him deeply, because of who was his mother... Jacob loved Rachel so much more then his other wives and showed favor to his two son's from her. Did this start their hatred of Joseph? Was it because a coat made for him separated him from them, and then the Gift from God magnifying his set apartness? I think so... If it had not been for one brother, Reuben, their hatred of his favor, would of killed him...

The Coat of many colors started the Call to Specialness...

Seal It Up Daniel

Daniel 8:26-27

"The vision of the evenings and the mornings which has been told you is true. But seal up the vision, for it has to do with and belongs to the [now] distant future.
And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick [for several] days. Afterward I rose up and did the king’s business; and I wondered at the vision, but there was no one who understood it or could make it understood.

Daniel 12:4-8

But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God’s purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.
Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood two others, the one on the brink of the river on this side and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by Him Who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time [or three and one-half years]; and when they have made an end of shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue and final end of these things?

Daniel 12:9-13

And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.
And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.
Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous, and to be envied is he who waits expectantly and earnestly [who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation] and comes to the 1,335 days!
But you [Daniel, who was now over ninety years of age], go your way until the end; for you shall rest and shall stand [fast] in your allotted place at the end of the days."

A lot of things were going on in Daniel's day. He was captured, put with wizards, and had to endure contempt for the gospels sake. He was shown things that would transpire in the last days of Jesus coming and being a sin offering, and dying on a tree. Daniel was told things that would happen to the Jesus People in the last days, and then he was asked to seal it up, because they would search it out in their day, and then He told him to go to his place, and wait for he would be in that allotted place with the holy Jesus People.

Now When Daniel Heard

Daniel 6:10-12

"Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.
Then these men came thronging [by agreement] and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Then they came near and said before the king concerning his prohibitory decree, Have you not signed an edict that any man who shall make a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed or repealed."

"...As he had done before..." Daniel heard that they got the king to sign their papers. He went straight up and opened his windows towards Jerusalem. After that he continued serving The Lord like he always has... Better to be right before The Lord Jesus... Than with with any other thing...

Word From The Lord

Proverbs 13:20-22

"Become wise by walking with the wise;
hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.
Disaster entraps sinners,
but God-loyal people get a good life.
A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren;
ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people."

Got a Word from one of the prophetic team members with School of Apostle and Prophets, and it was about passing a godly inherited things to them. Passing down to my grand sons is a joyous event in my Believer's life. Also to keep myself from bully, rude, selfish people who say they know Jesus but you can't get any evidence on them of the fact...

Daniel has an Excellent Spirit

Daniel 5:12-14

"Because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, clarify riddles, and solve knotty problems were found in this same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
have heard of you, that the Spirit of the holy God [or gods] is in you and that light and understanding and superior wisdom are found in you."

God put His Spirit on Daniel, and he yielded to Him. Because of that, Daniel's spirit was lead by that excellence and he was able to understand tight problems, and difficult saying in the spiritual realms...

I Can Touch Jesus

Luke 2:36-39:

"And there was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having lived with her husband seven years from her maidenhood,
And she too came up at that same hour, and she returned thanks to God and talked of [Jesus] to all who were looking for the redemption (deliverance) of Jerusalem.
And when they had done everything according to the Law of the Lord, they went back into Galilee to their own town, Nazareth."

The prophetess Anna, got to hold Jesus in her arms, praise The Lord for having held on to "The Promise," and gave Him back to God...
