Judah

Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, opposed his brothers' scheme to kill Joseph. He suggested that they could sell him as a slave. Throughout history, Jewish rabbis have argued that Judah should have saved Joseph from his brothers and returned him to his father, Jacob. Instead, Judah is blamed for Joseph's plight. Many think the death of Judah's wife and two sons was divine retribution for Judah's behavior.

Genesis 37:26-27 - "And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell him..."

Onan

Judah had three sons by a daughter of Shuah: Er, Onan and Shelah. Er married Tamar, but God slew him for being a wicked man. Tradition demanded that his brother take the widow and give her children for his brother's posterity. Onan laid with Tamar, but would not give her a child. God slew him for that.

Genesis 38:9 - "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother."

Tamar

Poor Tamar! Married Er. He died. Judah gave her Onan. He died, too! Judah promised to give his third son, Shelah. She waited childless for years. Judah never delivered. Tamar tricked Judah into lying with her by posing as a wayside harlot. Later, his servants reported that Tamar was pregnant from whoredom. Judah ordered her to be burned until she revealed that HE was the father of her twins - Pharez and Zarah! Pharez became grandfather to Boaz, David, and Messiah.

Genesis 38:26 - "Judah...said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son."

Sweet Adversity

When a man is fulfilling his prophetic destiny, even the bad times are good. Although Joseph's brothers hated him and sold him to slave-traders, God's purpose could not be averted. "For we know that ALL things work together for the good..." Like Daniel in Babylon, God never loses track of a faithful man, even in the most evil places. God's blessing follows him.

Genesis 39:4 - "And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand."

Here’s another OMBS 

Joseph

Jacob's favorite son was Rachel's firstborn, Joseph. His brothers were jealous and hostile toward him because he had his father's favor. At seventeen years old, Joseph dreamed two dreams that would eventually catapult him into world recognition for all of time. Think of it! A divinely-ordered, profoundly significant destiny was inaugurated in a seventeen year-old boy. It all began with his father's love. We should take extreme care to pronounce blessings on those we love!

Genesis 37:5 - "Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."

Coat Of Many Colors

Men often resent others who receive special favors. His brothers hated Joseph because he had his father's favor. Korah hated Moses, and Saul hated David because of God's favor. God's favor on a man often provokes others' jealousy or hatred. People commit grievous acts against those who have divine favor. Lucifer killed Jesus in jealousy. That is why true saints have to suffer. "Hated for my name's sake."

Genesis 37:3 - "Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors."


"I Pray You..."

The ancient people often used the phrase, "I pray you..." or "I pray thee..." to solicit the kind consideration of their requests of others. It was as if they were either afraid of the other person or were, in effect, begging for merciful consideration. Unfortunately, making a prayerful request of ordinary men does not always elicit a favorable response. Joseph must have hoped his family would rejoice with him, but they did not. Make your prayers to God instead.

Genesis 37:6 - "And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed."

Deception

If Reuben had not argued in his defense, his brethren would have killed Joseph in rabid jealousy. Instead, they held him captive in a dry well before selling him into slavery. To cover their sins, they deceived Jacob into believing that his son had been killed by a wild animal. If you stand for God, your enemies may use outrageous, diabolical tactics to destroy you. They may deceive others, but they cannot fool God. God judges righteously.

Genesis 37:31 - "And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood."


Types of people We need to be asking God for to bring in this type of ministry.

1. People who want more of God they know how to witness about Jesus and they will witness to everyone anywhere.

2. Military personnel because they will receive an order and keep moving until they finish it. 

3. Ex cultist they know what it is to give everything to a cause to see it accomplished.

Once they are born of water and spirit they will follow the word of God fully! Notice We said Word of God not a voice why?  Because almost every occult has been started by a voice and there’s many voices in this age. So If it comes down to you hearing a voice or scripture listen 
and obey scripture.

Psalm 119: 89 King James Version 

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

Take notice it says it’s settled in Heaven not earth. So we must settle it in earth. Will we be able to do this? Some say the task is to big. That’s no reason not to try.  Some might even say if you believe why don’t you pray for all those in hospitals.  That’s a good idea.  Thanks!  We prayed in hospital! Click
