“God’s promise to Joseph purged his character until it was time for his dreams to come true,” Psalms 105:19 (TPT).

I read this scripture and heard The LORD say… “Many of you are not the bad person that you think you are, but what is happening to you is that, you had a dream and began to speak it forth and those around you began to get jealous and to try and stop you from accomplishing your dream!

As you went through this trial, it has been working an even greater weight of glory in you, to bring you into the fullness of your destiny and calling.

I have been perfecting that which concerns you! I have begun this good work in you and will perform it until the day when I will bring you to full potential!”

“And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more,” Genesis 37:5.

I hear Him say, “Press on My child, for I AM a Good Father that wants to see you succeed and who wants the dream that I placed in you to come to pass!

I have been bringing you through a season of purging as your dream tested you and tried you, for did I not say that, ‘I AM the one who prunes the branches who produces for greater service?’

This never was about whether or not you belonged to Me! You are mine and I have loved you with an everlasting love, but it is about what I was preparing you for up ahead.

I have known all along that you would be in a place to save your brothers and sisters alive in the days ahead!

Now is the time for you to come up out of that prison that you have been in and be promoted, for I AM about to bring you to a new platform!

Shake the dust off from the hurt that you have endured. Be healed in your heart from the bruises in your mind and heart, for I shall heal you of the betrayal!

Stand tall and be the kings and priests I have made you to be through the suffering you have been through and endured!

No, you didn’t do it all perfectly, but you stood! I saw the tears, the years and the pain that you endured, but you kept going and now it is time to rule and reign in My Kingdom business, for you are the sons and daughters of the King!

I AM employing you today and commissioning you for greater service in the service of the Kingdom! Yes, it is time to arise and shine!”
