Reaching Joseph Pastor Willy Gonzรกlez Guatemala, April 13th. Year of Abundance
The abundance is not only a proclaim, or to think that we are going to receive something, instead we need to consider that the abundance is a dimension, in which we can pass through and we make it part of our journey. There are stages in life that leave a mark in us, and it becomes a rhema in us, no matter if it's a long time ago, those memories take us to that specific stage. In the verse of Esther 3:13 LBLA, the Word says that a decree was announced, and it said that the day number 13 the Jewish people were going to be destroyed, killed and exterminated. However, in the verse of Esther 9:1,17-18 LBLA explains that the people of God was above their enemies and in the day number 13 will be changed into 14, and then in 15; this means that the difficult day of our life can be changed in rest and prosperity, and then those blessings can be turned in a joyful time in God. The 13 day, it's the most difficult day of our live and it leaves a mark in it; however, in the Lord this difficult day will be overcome, that difficult stage will be finished, and we must leave it behind and move forward to the 14 day, this is the resting day. Like that little violent boy who behaves terrible to get what he wants, that same person should not reflect that same behavior 20 year later. We can learn that there are obstacles that stop us from reaching the next level that God wants us to enjoy, everything will depend of our attitude so we can move forward to the next level. In the Bible we can find a character who is a figure of abundance: Joseph, the man who can go everywhere. His name means "Added", he got lost from his father and he spend 13 years in a very difficult situation. Joseph's family couldn't enjoy the abundance, those 13 years of separation between him and his family, were very hard, but when they met with him, they had the chance to enjoy, not even matter the shortage that they were living; they lived the abundance that The Lord allowed them to have. In Joseph's past there were a lot of situations that affected him and those things didn't let him enjoy God's blessings. Let's study the things that can stop the church to be ready to meet the Lord, or to reach the stature to be raptured. In the verse of Genesis 44:27-28 BLPH, the Bible says that Jacob regretted Joseph's lost. Losses can be the cause why we don't move forward, for example, the lost of a loved one or abortion can make us be still at the spiritual level that we are right now, or they can make our step move backwards. God wants us to keep on going, because crying for the one that is not here anymore, stops us to enjoy the other ones who are next us. The pain that Jacob had of losing his Joseph, ,ale this feel be stronger than the love that he had for his other sons, that's why he wasn't happy with them. The accusation can't exist in our heart; a lost hurts, but the balm of God can heal the wound that was left. The calling that we have today, it's that no matter we had have a lost, we can be strength in the Lord to continue. In Jacob was reflected his son's lost, the verse of Genesis 42:1 BLPH explains that he was so angry at them that he treated them hardly. We should be careful if we are treating some one badly, because that will stop you from enjoying the abundance that God wants you to have. In Genesis 44:29-30 BLPH we can see Jacob's situation where he told his sons That they would be guilty of something happened to Benjamin. Feeling guilty can follow us for a long time, many children can fell guilty when someone passes away. Joseph's brothers tried to kill him and at the end they sold him, but the main reason was to separate the one who took their father's attention and love, it means that they wanted to feel loved by their father Jacob, but even thou they couldn't, because their father blamed them for ever.

Reaching Joseph Pastor Willy Gonzรกlez Guatemala, April 13th. Year of Abundance
We should determine of our first biological home , we really felt loved, and if the answer is yes, we should glorify God, but if the answer is no, we should stand up and move forward, because our Heavenly Father and God loves us. We can't use our past to raise our children, for example: if we suffer when we were children, maybe we don't want our children to suffer, or if our parents couldn't give us everything, we work hard so our children can have everything without considering the price or cost of things, that will affect the whole living journey. Sometimes the things that happen we attribute them to evil or wrong decisions, according to Genesis 42:21 BLH, Joseph's brothers attribute the wrong things that they were living to what they did with Joseph. Some people just see their neighbors prosperity and they blame their difficulties to their wrong decisions, but today The Lord tells us to lift up our head and keep on going. In the verse of Genesis 42:22 BLPH Ruben says that he had warned them, because that was the consequence of what they did with their brother, and he attribute the bad things to what they did with Joseph. In the ver of Genesis 42:36BLPH Jacob reclaimed his sons because everything was coming against him, he thought that he was going to lose his other sons, like happened in the past. If today we are living something similar, we have a Nue opportunity, because we have hope. As God's sons, we are different from others, and we see things differently because we know that everything has a define purpose by God in which He wants us to have hope. On this way we can face difficult situations but it will start from the inside. God wants us to stand up, and release all the things that tie us to the past, so we can move to next level and enjoy abundance. Let's see Genesis 42:36-37 BLPH Jacob told his sons that Benjamin wouldn't go with them because he was the only son that he had left. They didn't have an identity as sons, their father didn't consider them as sons, but they did the same things, because Juda comprises the life of his sons, if he doesn't come back home with Benjamin. In Genesis 43:8-9 BLPH we can see that the sons of Jacob had changed, because they wanted to be responsible of their actions while they were before Joseph. That man lived his tribulation too, he thought that everything had finished, he had two boys and their names meant, forget and fruitful, proclaiming that he had gotten the past, however when he found his brothers, he showed what he had in his heart. Joseph is a figure of Christ, that's why if he had a difficult life, the invitation it's to reach Joseph's level in the spiritual way so we can overcome another level, or another dimension, let's dust the dirty from us and keep on walking in this journey, so we can enjoy the abundance that God wants to give us.
