My Storehouses …The Endtime Collection …Chronicle by Glenda Wilson

This rendering was inspired by a word sent by email from Chuck Pierce – I have included an excerpt below.

June 26, 2005 –Chuck Pierce –“This is the also the time that a new level of supply begins to be unlocked. Watch for new provisional strategies in the earth realm. He is "preparing us for the suddenlies”. Suddenlies usually occur and overwhelm us when we least expect something is about to happen. To prepare means to "build a form for something, like a frame for a house”. If we develop a frame of reference for an enlarged storehouse, the Lord will bring the infilling.”

With the story of Joseph so ingrained in my spirit, when I hear of storehouses, I always think of his story. Since I am a visual person and artist –a frame of reference for me is a picture. Immediately I began to envision the granaries that were in Egypt in the time of Joseph and the famine. How large those storehouses must have been to be able to send provision to the nations.

In this current hour, we find a famine in the land in both the natural and the spiritual. Since we realize all things result form the spiritual realm, we must realize that the famine is not from a lack of water and food but one for a lack of the word. Remembering that the Bible translators voted to render the scripture in the causative – Amos’s statement says that God was sending the famine. Knowing that God is a good God, I believe that He allowed the famine and determined to use it to turn those that would be His toward Himself.

Amos 8:11-12 Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but [a famine] for hearing the words of the Lord. And [the people] shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord [inquiring for and requiring it as one requires food], but shall not find it. AMP

Jesus was tempted by the devil to turn stones into bread, but His reply was, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God'" (Matthew 4:4).

The purpose of Joseph’s testing was to develop character, to mature his vision and ready him to provide the nations with grain (the equivalent of “The Bread of Life”). God entrusted Joseph with the task of preserving the lineage that would bring forth the ultimate “Bread of Life”, Jesus the Christ. I am always moved by the maturity of Joseph’s reaction and revelation he shared with his brothers who betrayed him.

Gen 45:7 7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great escape and save for you many survivors. AMP

We to must come to the realization, as did Joseph that we too have been sent. We must position ourselves in character and maturity to disburse the wealth that is about to be released into our hands. We must spiritually prepare a frame of reference for larger storehouses. What would have happened had the Egyptians not had the foresight to build large granaries –granaries that they thought would be to hoard provision, but was ultimately for God’s purpose?

Where are we in the process? Are we building storehouses for our purpose or for His? Where is our treasure laid up …for where our treasure is, there also is our heart. Everything always reverts to the heart and motive.
