Joseph the Protector

Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:18-25

Oftentimes, when we consider the birth of Jesus, it seems that Joseph’s role is downplayed. I guess when we look at the Christmas story with a Sunday school mentality he looks like a passive bystander. But in actuality God chooses Joseph to be a protector of the carrier of the plan of redemption.

Right from the start, we see this righteous man’s protective nature to keep Mary from being disgraced from the religious public eye. As he contemplates sending her away secretly he has a supernatural encounter with an angel “But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.””  (See Matthew 1:20-21.) NIV

God understands Joseph’s doubts and concerns about this pregnancy. He knew it would take an angelic visitation to assure him of Mary’s faithfulness to him, and a confirmation that he is called to be Mary’s husband, her spiritual covering, and be committed to raise this child for God.

It took a man of great faith to readily receive this angelic report that his virgin, wife-to-be, was impregnated by the Spirit of God, and was going to give birth to the long-awaited Messiah.

Only a man of integrity would accept this supernatural calling, and willingly endure the criticism that lay ahead of this couple’s future together as man and wife.

Joseph proves himself as an honorable man as well. As Mary’s spiritual covering he obeys God’s command and protects her even when others cannot see, and he keeps his wife a virgin until after she gives birth to Jesus, see Matthew 1:24-25.

He provides shelter, a safe place for Mary to give birth to Jesus in a stable because there was no room for them in the inn, see Luke 2:1-7.

To escape King Herod’s murderous rampage and save the life of the Christ Child, the protector is commissioned by an angel in a dream to escape into Egypt with Mary and Jesus, see Matthew 2:13-18, and because of his immediate response to obey the vulnerable Redeemer is safe.

And being supernaturally warned of danger in another dream he changes route on their way back to Israel and they move to Nazareth instead, where he safely raises Jesus. (See Matthew 2:19-23.)

Joseph is not a passive bystander, he is proactive. He receives direction from God and quickly obeys. And because of his obedience to be a protector of the carrier of the plan of redemption, we who believe, are now safe.

A Desire for the Prophetic

“Dear Becky,

I pray for the gift of prophecy as the Bible tells me I should. There does
seem to be some generational warfare that I need help with. Any wisdom you
can impart would be greatly appreciated.

Blesssings in the ministry God has entrusted in your care.
Lavonne”

Response:

Dear Lavonne,

The Bible says in Acts 2: 17-18, “‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.” NKJV

Before we can walk in the prophetic we need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Please read through “Power From On High” in DARE to Believe, and I have attached a youtube video I recorded to assist you to receive this powerful gift. Click to view.

Right now, I release the prophetic giftings to manifest with in your spirit. That your eyes will see into the spirit realm with dreams and visions from God, and that your spiritual ears will hear His voice clearly to overcome every form of the curse that the enemy tries to send your way.

Along with daily reading of the Scriptures, I would recommend reading through the Book of Acts, and reread DARE to Believe.

The Lord desires that you see and hear spiritually, especially in these end-times.

A Lean-To Or A Pillar?

Are you a lean-to or a pillar of faith? A lean-to is a structure, such a shed or an outbuilding, that has a single slope with its upper edge adjoining a wall or a building. It gains its ability to stand from another structure, whereas, a pillar is a firm upright support for a superstructure. It is strong and able to support another without collapsing under the weight of the load.

In the book of Genesis we have spiritual examples of both types of structures. Lot is an example of a spiritual lean-to, his ability to stand came from his uncle Abraham. Abraham gained his supernatural strength from God and therefore, he became a pillar and was able to stand on his own and support his nephew, Lot. But, when they separated and went their own ways, Lot lost his support and became weak. He lost his daughters to a sinful lifestyle of the time, and he lost his wife as well. But as we take note,  it was the pillar, Abraham, that came back and rescued Lot from total destruction.

Because Lean-to Lot, did not have the proper framework to stand, when he went out on his own he and his family fell into ruins. Today, many Christian families fell or are falling into the same destruction, because there is only one strong faith structure in the family. And when the kids go out into the world, they often fall because they were brought up to be lean-tos and not pillars of faith.

In the beginning of our faith journey we need to lean on the support of the pillars, but we are not meant to remain as spiritual lean-tos.  We are to strengthen our own  faith and become pillars. So that, we can become part of God’s work-force and enhance the kingdom of God on this earth.

Abraham was a pillar because he was a man of faith. And he became a man of faith because he had a personal relationship with God. He was actually called a “friend of God”.  In James 2:23 it says of Abraham, “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

We need to teach our children and babes in- the- faith to develop their own personal relationship with the Lord. So, they too can stand firm in the times that lay ahead.

And we also need to concentrate our efforts in fortifying these weak structures, so they can become pillars. Instruct the people how to walk by faith, and not by sight, as Abraham learned to do.

Romans 4: 19-22 says of Abraham “Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness.”

This type of faith only develops by deep relationship with the Lord and His Word. And because of his close fellowship with Him he was able to work out his faith to the glory of the Lord. He became a pillar and we can too.

Healing Prayer From ALS

Marie from OK writes the following prayer request. “Dear Becky, Please pray a healing prayer for my family and me.  The Dr tells me I have ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).  This disease took my Mother and two of my brothers, the most recent one on March 16, 2013.  On May 30th, 2013, the neurologist told me that I have it too.  At present I am unable to speak or swallow.  Also my breathing is poor as the muscles are atrophying.  A feeding tube was put in on June 20th.  I still have the use of my legs, arms and hands, but I can tell the muscles are weakening.   I have lost a  lot of weight.  I only tell you this so that you will know the specifics  of my condition.  The motor neurons that control speech and swallowing may need to be recreated.

The Lord led me to your book, Dare to Believe. I have always believed that God could heal me, I just did not know if it was His will to heal me.  Reading your book I see that it is God’s will to heal me and I must have faith that He will.  Many friends and neighbors have been praying for me and this has touched my heart deeply.  Please help me to renounce this disease in Jesus name and fill my body with life and healing from the Holy Spirit.   Please help me to have faith and save me from this premature death so that I may fulfill my destiny in Jesus name.  My husband and my son need a healthy me so much.  This disease needs to be stopped now.  My family has suffered too much.  I thank you for this book.  Please pray for us as we are daring to believe!”

Dear Marie, In Jesus’ name I renounce the spirit of death, the spirit of fear, the power of this negative medical report, and the word curses that have come from your own mouth and from those around you, this generational curse called ALS and all other diseases, known or unknown attacking your body.  I release the Spirit of the Living God to flow throughout your entire body. I speak LIFE and His peace into the nerve cells in your brain and into the very core of your spinal cord. I release the healing power of the Holy Spirit to flow from the very center of your spinal cord and work its way throughout the rest of the body.  I command your motor neurons to be regenerated. I speak resurrection life into dead motor neurons and that they be disease free, healthy, strong, and function perfectly normal. I come against all forms of paralysis. I command the muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves that control your ability to speak, swallow, and breathe to stop atrophying and return to normal size and strength. I say speak, swallow, and breathe for the glory of our Lord.  I command the body to stop wasting away, gain back the weight necessary to live a healthy, normal life. The muscles of your arms, legs and hands will not be affected by this disease. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit and this premature death has no legal right to inhabit this temple of yours. I plead the power of the redemptive blood of Jesus’ Christ over you, your body and the rest of your family. This disease dies within your body this instant and it cannot move and have its way within you or in your future generations.

You are correct when you say that you now know that Jesus wants you healed. Jesus paid the price necessary to deliver and heal you from ALS. And this is the revelation that you have lacked, but now found that creates life from death.  Marie, be free, be healed, live and fulfill your God-given destiny. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Everything On Your List

“Dear Becky, Please pray. I need a good job, a good wife, favor, blessing, victory, guidance, protection, good health, and long life. K…”

Dear K…, It is possible to have everything on this list, but you are the one that is responsible to make it come about. First of all, you need a right relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 instructs us how to take this first step of faith. It says, “if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Second, you need to learn how to do life God’s way. His word says in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” 

God has a plan and a purpose for your life, but He is also a God of order, and if you will do life His way, you can have a good job, a good spouse, favor, blessing, victory, guidance, protection, good health and long life. You can have everything on your list if you will learn and then do life His way.

I’m No Longer Eligible for Healing?

Question: “Becky, in your book, DARE to Believe, you talk about John 5:14, when Jesus says to sin no more, lest something worse come upon us.Does this mean if we sin after we are originally healed of a sickness, we are no longer eligible for healing?”

Answer: No, this does not mean that we are no longer eligible for healing. It does mean that we can reopen the door for the enemy to attack. But if we go to the Lord and ask for forgiveness then we are forgiven and free from the consequence of the sin, such as sickness and disease.

The Responsibility Is In Our Hands

There comes a point when the responsibility is in our hands, as we find out in the story of Moses and the Israelites.  The Pharaoh and his army are  in hot pursuit of Moses and the sons of Israel. They find them camped in front of the sea. The people fill with fear as their enemy draws near. They begin to shout sarcastic remarks at Moses. But Moses, the mighty man of faith responds to the people. He says, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.” (Exodus 14: 13-14).

His response sounds so right on, but the Lord teaches Moses and us that there comes a time when mere words are not enough. There must be action behind our words. And we are the ones responsible to take action. Listen to the Lord’s response to  Moses’ valiant statement of faith.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it…” (Exodus 14: 15-16).

This is an intense moment for these people. In fact, it is a life and death situation for them, and the Lord says to Moses to stop crying and tell the people to move forward! And He doesn’t stop there. He tells Moses that he is to put his faith into action and divide the Red Sea.

All too often, we expect the Lord to do the supernatural for us. But as we study the Word we see that the Lord has a different plan. He provides everything we need to succeed. Then He expects us to be responsible and not just speak words of faith, but put action behind our faith-filled words and divide our own Red Seas, by the supernatural power of our faith in the redemptive work of Jesus. He places the responsibility into our hands.   –Author Becky Dvorak

A Word of Restitution

Last year, as I was being introduced to a governor and his vice governor I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak into my ear a word for them. It was, “Restitution”. They both held back tears as I spoke this word and the others that flowed with them. God heard their petitions, and wanted them to know that He was moving on their behalf.

Restitution is the act of restoring to the rightful owner something, such as property or rights that have been taken away, lost, or surrendered.

Our enemy, satan, the thief who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy is working overtime against the body of Christ. (See John 10:10a.) Many of you reading this have received great blows from him recently. But regardless of his wicked schemes against you, the Lord wants to give you the following word of encouragement.

“The battle belongs to Me. I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee. Those precious gems that have been stolen from thee, will be restored. The enemy will bow on bended knee in shame before Me and thee, and he will give back unharmed and undamaged promises, visions, ministries, properties and rights that I have given to thee.

I have released troops of warring angels on your behalf. The reinforcements have already arrived on the front line of these battles. Your hour of restitution is at hand, and  it is being delivered by My righteous right hand.

Now is not the time for you to lay down your weapons in defeat. No, now is the time to stand to your feet. Put your armor back on. Pick up your shield of faith, boldly raise it up as I did My Son at Calvary. His blood is your banner of victory. Lift up His banner with your voice, and boldly declare your victory before the throne of My grace.

Many of you will receive your restitution within 3 days of reading this word , just as My Son restored you back to Me. Others will see the process of restitution begin within 3 days. I have spoken, and I have promised. Come before Me on bended knee and proclaim your victory in Me.”

Thus says the Lord of Hosts.

Deliverance Prayer From Austism

I received this letter from a woman whose son was diagnosed with autism. As you may know our adopted son, Andres was severely autistic. But we dared to believe in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and he is no longer autistic. he is delivered and healed. Here is this mama’s letter. “My son Samuel is 3 years old and was recently diagnosed with autism. He has major behavioral problems, speech delayed and developmental delays. He won’t eat as much having trouble eating, feeding self and underweight. Please help us pray for healing for Samuel from all of this. “

My response:

I join my faith with your faith for Samuel for the deliverance from an autistic spirit in Jesus’ name.

I come against you foul wicked spirit that has attacked this little boy. You leave him at once. I speak and release the Spirit of the Lord over Samuel, and that a spirit of peace come over him. All aggressive, violent and destructive behaviors stop in the name of the Lord. All screaming, tantrums, head banging, pinching, biting, and spitting stop in Jesus’ name.

I speak to your spirit Samuel, I release the healing power of the Holy Spirit to flow through your brain, nervous system and your 5 senses. I declare that these things are healed and made whole.

Your brain is recreated by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Any and all seizures stop. They may not continue, they may not travel down familiar pathways that have been made in the brain. We erase those old familiar pathways, and no new pathways may be recreated in Jesus’ name.

I declare that your electrical system is recreated in Jesus’ name. Your internal wiring is rewired and made whole. Messages from the right and left brain can travel as they are meant to travel.

I speak to your brain stem to be recreated in Jesus’ name. Your speech, your motor skills are recreated by the redemptive work of Christ.

I renounce this negative report spoken over you. You are no longer autistic, but redeemed and made whole in Jesus’ name.

I speak to the eating disorders to be healed. I declare that no longer will textures, colors and smells bother you. Your senses are made whole, and your digestive system is recreated and digests perfectly normal. We dare to believe that you no longer have eating disorders, and can eat in a healthy manner and gain the proper amount of weight that is needed for your size and age.

No longer will you fear to look people in the eye, or be afraid of their touch. We take control over a spirit of fear, and we cast it far from you in Jesus’ name.

I speak to your equal liberum and to the inner ear to be healed and made whole. No longer will you need to spin or spin objects. Your world around you is made whole. You do not need to flap your hands, because your senses are healed. You do not need to be obsessed any longer, because you are free, and whom Jesus sets free is free indeed.

I come against generational curses that have been passed down from the generations. You are free because Jesus became the curse.

I join my faith with your mother’s faith and I believe that you are delivered from autism and free from the unusual behaviors that have attached themselves to you, and declare those things that are not as though they already are. You are healed and delivered in Jesus’ name.

If you would like to read the full story of Andres, see chapter 12 of DARE to Believe.
