Testing before Exaltation
Before God uses a person and fulfills the purpose for their life he will always bring testing. Testing matures the person and also also proves that they're ready for the task. This was the case for Joseph. They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character . Psalms 105:18-19 NLT Joseph was tested by God and then raised up and fulfilled the purpose of his life. If God us going to use you on mighty ways, expect mighty trials.
