Introduction

This message is for someone who has experienced a difficult period in their life. God wants me to tell you that a new season is coming. He is turning the page, and a new chapter is about to begin for you.

The Story of Joseph

In the story of Joseph, we see that he was anointed and favored by God. He also had a special place in his father's heart and had a divine destiny and dream over his life. However, Joseph also went through some tough times. He was hated, betrayed, rejected, and thrown into a pit by his own brothers. It was a sad and challenging chapter in his life.

The Good News

But here's the good news: that bad chapter was not the end of Joseph's story. God is telling me to prophesy to someone who has gone through a similar difficult chapter in their life. He wants you to know that it's not over for you. Your story is bigger than that one bad chapter, and the best is yet to come.

Don't judge a person based on one bad chapter in their life. Joseph's story didn't end in the pit. He went from the pit to the palace. Daniel came out of the lion's den unharmed. The three Hebrew boys walked out of the fiery furnace untouched. Jonah was delivered from the belly of the whale and brought revival to a city. Your bad chapter is just a temporary setback.

Awakening the Dreamer

God wants to wake up the dreamer in you. The devil wants to kill your dreams because he knows that if he can do that, you won't be a threat to him. But I am here to stir up the dreamer in you, to speak to the destiny and anointing within you. I am here to rebuke hopelessness, discouragement, and despair. I am here to cast out fear and disappointment.

You may have lost many things in your last chapter – your job, your marriage, your health, your peace, your joy. But that was the last chapter. God is saying that a new chapter is opening for you. And this new chapter is going to be even better than before.

The Power of Praise

Your praise is powerful. Just like Judah brought Joseph out of the pit, praise will take you into your new chapter. Praise God for where you see yourself in your new chapter. Praise Him for what you see Him doing in your life. Your praise is dressing you for what God is about to do next.

God is going to use your praise to make the devil give up what he has taken from you. He will make the devil cough up your stuff. Your praise is a weapon that will break chains and destroy yokes. It will activate angels and open doors of restoration.

Conclusion

So, lift your hands and lift your voice. Praise God for this new chapter in your life. As you praise Him, pages are turning, chains are breaking, and restoration is coming. Take back what the enemy has stolen from you. It's a new season, a new chapter, and you're getting it all back.

Praise God for this new chapter in your life!
