Welcome to our Monday’s broadcast of the

Gospel truth today I’m beginning a brand

new series teaching about the life of

Joseph and I tell you this has made a

Major Impact in my life and I think that

this is really going to be powerful for

you you know I’ve got this little

introductory book that’s only about 50

pages introduction to the lessons from

Joseph and then we have this 200 plus

page book and uh we are making this one

available free of charge we’ll send this

to you whether you send anything or not

this one we’re asking for a donation but

we also uh don’t specify exactly how

much we have a suggested donation but I

encourage you to get this full book this

teaching on Joseph is powerful we also

have USB that has the audio and video or

you can get just a DVD or a CD and we’ll

be giving out all of that information at

the end of the program today let me turn

over to 1 Corinthians chapter 10 and

share this this with you out of uh 1

Corinthians chap 10: 6 it says now these

things were our examples and it’s

talking about all of the Old Testament

stories that were written these things

were our examples to the intent that we

should not lust after evil things as

they also lusted neither be ye idolators

as were some of them as it is written

the people sat down to eat and drink and

Rose up to play neither let us commit

fornication as some of them committed

and fell in one day three and 20,000

neither let us tempt Christ as some of

them also tempted and were destroyed of

serpents neither murmur ye as some of

them also murmured and were destroyed of

the Destroyer now all of these things

happened unto them for examples and they

are written for our admonition upon whom

the ends of the world are come so verses

6 through 11 here is saying that all of

these things written in the Old

Testament were written down for for our

admonition so that we can learn through

them and you know it’s my experience

that most of the people I encounter they

are going through life and trying to

figure things out just all on their own

and uh you know if you do that in a

sense you’re like a pinball that’s just

launched you know and it just bumps into

things and bounces around and there’s no

aim there’s no direction and this is how

most people live their life they’re like

water they just go with the flow they

seek the lowest level the path of least

resistance and I tell you if that’s your

mindset if you are just you know being

propelled through life and you are not

sitting in the driver’s seat and

controlling and have a purpose and a

direction for your life I can guarantee

you you are going to crash and burn many

of you can say Amen by experience you’ve

already been there and this is how most

people learn things is through the

School of Hard Knocks but those

scriptures say that everything WR

written in the

Bible is written for our learning so

that we through them might learn not to

do the things that they did that were

wrong to do the things that they did

that were right this is the reason these

things are written here this is a this

is like an owner’s manual from our

creator telling us how to live and some

people think about the life of Joseph

what does that have to do with me I can

guarantee you anything you’re going

through there are lessons for you to

learn from the life of Joseph and it’s

better to learn them at his expense than

it is to learn it at your expense you

know I didn’t go through Bible school I

didn’t have anybody who really mentored

me I had some people that mentored me

from AAR I took their teachings and

listened to them and things but I didn’t

have a personal person to Mentor me and

I went through a lot of things and I

learned a lot of things by Hard Knocks

and I I’ve got to admit that if you

survive it makes a great testimony I’ve

got some awesome testimonies but I tell

you what there’s a better way and that’s

the reason we started Caris Bible

College that’s the reason I’m on

television trying to share these truths

and if you will receive it I promise you

this could just change your life it

could help you avoid all kinds of

problems and again I say that there are

people watching this program right now

that you are in the midst of a mess and

you’re crying out looking for help

that’s probably why you’ve tuned in to a

Christian station and watching a

Christian program and yet you don’t

realize that it was your choices that

got you to this place and I’m not saying

you wanted the results that you’ve got

but nonetheless God if you would take

his word and read and study you could

learn how to avoid things there are

instructions in the word not for your

hurt but for your benefit and Joseph in

my estimation is one of the greatest

characters in The Bible you know there’s

only three people that I can think of in

the Bible who didn’t have serious flaws

and major mistakes and God didn’t

reprove them Joseph is one of them

Samuel is one of them and also

Daniel now there may be some other but

as far as major characters the Joseph is

one of the greatest examples in

scripture Moses who wrote five books of

the new of the Old Testament the first

five books and also wrote the book of I

mean Psalms chapter 90 Moses was a

powerful man of God but Moses got off

track he killed a man thinking that that

was doing God’s Will and it cost him 40

years in the wilderness and he made some

major mistakes got mad and disobeyed God

and it cost him being able to go into

the promised land you can take

David who much of the Old Testament is

written about him 1 and 2 Samuel First

Kings and of course he wrote many of the

Psalms and David was a man after God

God’s Own Heart and did some great

things and yet he took his eyes off of

the Lord he fell into adultery murdered

the husband of bash Sheba trying to

cover up his adultery even in the New

Testament did you know that Saul who

became Paul wrote half of the books of

the New Testament he persecuted the

Christians he uh was in agreement with

the stoning death of stepen he was there

and he committed other people to prison

and testified against them even to their

death did you know that half of the uh

of the Bible was written by murderers

people who had murdered and praised God

for forgiveness and God changed them and

because of that man it was God speaking

through them I’m not critical of them

but I’m saying that really there are

very few characters in the Bible who had

the character that Joseph had Joseph is

one of those that was never really

rebuked in scripture now there are some

people who take the story of Joseph and

they uh say that he started out as a

spoiled brat and it was his own

arrogance and stuff that got him into

trouble I’m going to disagree with that

and I’m going to show you scriptures

that I believe will give you a different

perspective on this but a spoiled brat

and an arrogant person doesn’t Prosper

the way uh that Joseph prospered and

there’s scriptures that bear this out

and then some people think that when his

brothers came into Egypt that it was his

Vengeance he was getting even with them

and repaying them by being hard on them

I’m going to show you scriptures that

will speak differently than that that

again I believe that if you interpret

Joseph’s life

correctly he is just a great example now

again praise God for the people who got

off track and found the Forgiveness of

the Lord and then God changed them like

Moses and David and others and those are

great examples but also uh it’s

wonderful to have an example of a person

who just really started seeking God from

an early age and stayed with the Lord

didn’t have any major major failings in

his life and I tell you Joseph inspires

me it’s really good so all of that’s

introduction just to say that I know

some people think what are you talking

about somebody who lived 4,000 years ago

I need help today with my marriage with

my finances I need healing I need a how

in the world are is this nation ever

going to turn around and you’re focused

on these things if you don’t understand

history you’re D you’re Des

to repeat it you can’t uh really

understand what is happening right now

unless you have some perspective of how

God has dealt with people how God used

people to turn situations around and I

tell you Joseph is a man who not only

affected himself and his family but he

literally changed the world God used him

in a powerful way and God is no

respector of persons he’ll do the same

thing for you so let’s start with the

life of Joseph this is in Genesis 37 and

it says in verse one and Jacob dwelt in

the land wherein his father was a

stranger in the land of Canaan these are

the generations of Jacob Joseph being 17

years old was feeding the flock with his

Brethren and the lad was with the sons

of bilha and with the sons of zilfi his

father’s wives and Joseph brought unto

his father their evil report let me just

say some things to put this into

perspective I know that not every

everybody who watches this program is a

Bible scholar has even read the Bible

and so you need to understand that this

Jacob was his original name that was the

grandson of Abraham the one that God

chose and started the Jewish Nation

through and

Jacob was his grandson he had an

encounter with the Lord where he

actually wrestled with an angel and this

Angel changed his name to Israel and so

Jacob uh was his original name the Lord

changed his name to Israel and you’ll

hear these names used interchangeably

and applied to the same person so this

is talking about Jacob or Israel and he

had a total of 12 sons he first of all

tried to marry Rachel and he loved

Rachel she was a beautiful person and on

the wedding night he went in and it

turned out that the father-in-law gave

her not gave him not Rachel but Leah his

older sister in the morning he

recognized that you know there had been

a switch of sisters and he got Furious

and went to laan the father-in-law and

he says well in our country there’s a

custom that you you have to marry off

the oldest one first and so anyway he

eventually gave him the second daughter

Rachel the one he really wanted so he

had two wives there each one of them had

maidens and when they had trouble having

children each one of them gave their

maidens to the uh Jacob or Israel and so

he wound up having a total of four wives

12 sons one of the daughters is

mentioned Diana he probably had other

daughters but these 12 sons this is what

this is talking about and Joseph was

child number 11 out of 12 and Joseph was

the first child that was born from

Rachel the one that Jacob really loved

and so Joseph was special to him and

Rachel uh she had Joseph as the 11th son

of Israel or Jacob and when she had the

next son which was Benjamin that’s the

youngest son of uh

Jacob uh Rachel died in childbirth and

so uh because of this jacob just really

uh doted on Joseph that was his favorite

son and you can see that right here in

these verses in verse three it says now

Israel loved Joseph more than all his

children because he was the son of his

old age and he made him a coat of many

colors and when his Brethren saw that

their father father loved him more than

all his Brethren they hated him and

could not speak peaceably unto him now

this is an important piece of

information right here because again I

said at the very start of this program

some people have thought that Joseph was

arrogant in sharing his dreams and he

was going around saying I’m better than

you and so that Joseph is the one who

caused his brothers to hate him and

reject him but before Jesus I mean

excuse me before Joseph had any of his

dreams before he begin to tell his

brothers these dreams it says right here

that it was his father who favored him

made him the coat of many colors and

when his Brethren saw that Jacob loved

Joseph more than them that’s the reason

that they hated him this does not impute

any sin any transgression to Joseph now

I think the worst thing that you could

say about Joseph is that he was just a

young kid he might not have used as much

wisdom as he could have but the wor

first thing you could say about him was

he was just young and unexperienced and

maybe he could have used more wisdom but

you can’t impute unto him any

maliciousness any bragging any arrogance

putting his brothers down that’s not

what these scriptures say this says it

links their hatred for Joseph

specifically to what uh Jacob

did and there’s a lesson to learn in

this for parents and that is that you

can’t prefer one child over another you

know all of our children are different

and some of them have different talents

some of them are smarter than others

some of them are better looking than

others some of them are more obedient

just have a tendency to obey whereas the

other ones may have a tendency to go the

other direction but parents have to love

their children and not use this this

right here is an example that if you

prefer a child and make it clear that

you prefer one over the other that

causes the other one to have resentment

and stuff and so you shouldn’t be doing

that in verse 5 it says and Joseph

dreamed a dream and he told it his

Brethren and they hated him yet the more

now again they hated him because of the

dream that he

had but Joseph isn’t the one who told

this dream I mean brought this dream he

just told what had happened to him but

he didn’t do anything to make this dream

happen he just shared what he had and it

just aggravated and Amplified the hatred

that they already had and here’s this

dream in verse 6 he said unto them here

I pray you this dream which I have

dreamed for behold we were binding

sheaves in the field and lo my sheath

arose and also stood upright and behold

your sheave stood round about and made

obes to my sheave you know some people

might think what does that mean well the

next verse tells you it was clear that

they understood the meaning of this his

Brethren said unto him shalt thou indeed

Reign Over Us or shalt thou indeed have

dominion over us and they hated him yet

the more for his dreams and for his

words and so the way that they took this

it was very clear that when Joseph’s

sheath rose up above the others and then

all of the other sheaths around about

him bowed down to his sheath it was

clear that this was talking about that

Joseph was going to be exalted and his

brothers would come and bow down to him

and they already hated him and this just

Amplified their hatred again Joseph I

don’t believe can be U attribut to any

hatred or maliciousness could be

attributed to him at the very Le at the

very most it’s just naiveness he was

just open and just sharing what God had

done to

him what God had said in verse 9 it says

he dreamed yet another dream and told it

his Brethren and said behold I have

dreamed a dream more and behold the Sun

and the Moon and the 11 stars made

obedience to me now the first dream was

about him being lifted up and others

bowing down to him here it says that

he’s lifted up so that the Sun and the

Moon and the 11 Stars the 11 stars were

talking about his brothers his the son

was talking about his father the moon

was talking about his mother and um here

he is again it’s basically the same

thing it’s the same point being

communicated that he’s going to be

magnified and exalted and others are

going to come bow bow down to him even

his 11 brothers and his father and his

mother and it says in verse 10 and he

told it his father and to his Brethren

and his father rebuked him and said unto

him what is this dream that thou has

dreamed shall I and thy mother and thy

Brethren indeed come to bow down

ourselves to thee to the Earth so here

again is Jacob interpreting this dream

he knew very clearly that it talked

about him the son the moon the mother

and the brothers coming and down bowing

down to him to the Earth and his

brothers envied him but his father

observed the same in other words his

father rebuked him thinking this was

arrogant on his part to be dreaming this

but again Joseph didn’t cause this he

didn’t dream it up on his own this is

something that God gave him and as we go

through this story you’re going to find

out that these dreams were given by God

specifically to put a vision in the

heart of Joseph and prepare him for for

13 years of very negative things that

were going to happen to him and boy

there is a lesson here for each of

us I tell you God has done this in my

life when I first got turned on to the

Lord March the 23rd

1968 I didn’t know details but I just

instantly knew that God had called me to

share truths about him the things that

he had shown me and the things he was

doing in my life he called me to share

this with people people all over the

world and I honestly believe that I was

going to be ministering to people all

over the world here I am now 56 years

later and did you know that this program

can be seen by 5.2 billion people per

day I didn’t know the details I didn’t

know how this was going to happen but 56

years ago God put that Vision that dream

in my heart and I can guarantee you I

went through a lot of hard years I went

through probably 32 years where there

was

nobody looking from the outside at me

and my Ministry thought we would ever

reach more than just a few people I

pastored One Church in seille Texas for

two years in the largest crowd we ever

had was 12 and that was a large crowd

most of the time it was five and then I

went to Children’s Texas and the largest

crowd we had was about 50 or 60 and then

I went to pritchet Colorado which we had

about 100 people that came and that was

six years worth of pastoring with my

largest crowd being 100 now that was 100

people in a town of 144 people pre at

Colorado but uh nonetheless I mean I

just it seems like people were staying

away from my meetings by the droves and

yet I had this knowledge this Vision

just like Joseph right here had these

dreams given to him that someday he

would be exalted and his brothers and

his father and mother would come and bow

down to him he had these dreams that he

was going to succeed and not fail and

yet for 13 years everything in Joseph’s

life went completely contrary to these

dreams and I’m going to be getting into

more detail as we go through this I

won’t be able to do all of this today

but there is a parallel here that you

know with us God will give you a vision

a dream it doesn’t have to be a dream

while you’re asleep uh it could be a

dream

while you’re awake it could just be God

revealing and giving you a vision a

desire in your heart of you know a

business that he’s given you or some

idea that he’s given you that could make

a difference or something that he wants

you to do to write a book or to do

something or you could be in Ministry

like I am and God could show you and yet

I can guarantee you when you first get

that Vision you are going to have

everything that the devil can throw at

you trying to get you to move away from

that vision and the sad fact is we live

in a fallen world and there are lots of

people that are receptive to the devil

and that we’ll be his servants and that

they will come across your path and they

will do everything they can to stop your

vision this is this is guaranteed in

scripture it’s certainly in the life of

Joseph and I can show you everybody

Moses went through this same thing David

went through this same thing you can

take anybody there is not a single

character in the Bible that God just

touched them and instantly they saw

everything that God wanted in their life

come to pass they went through terrible

things and this is just not only typical

of Bible characters this is typical of

you and me the scripture says in Mark

chapter 4 that once the seed is sown

then the fouls of the air come trying to

steal it away then Affliction and

persecution comes then the cares of this

life the deceitfulness of riches the

lust of other things will enter in and

all of those things it’s attributed to

Satan that Satan is the one that came to

steal away the word that is in our heart

and I can guarantee you once God Reveals

His will to you Satan is going to throw

everything he’s got at you he may take

things that he’s planned for 10 or 15

years in the

future and throw them at you all at once

because you’ll be your weakest when you

first have this Revelation there’s a

growth period there’s a maturity period

that you have to go through before you

can see God’s will come to pass in your

life

and Satan knows that if he lets you get

rooted in the word and if you put your

roots down deep that you’ll be able to

withstand a hurricane so he’ll come

against you when you’re young it says

over in Hebrews it says once you’re

enlightened you endure a great fight of

afflictions this may be Revelation to

some of you today but I’m telling you

just because God has a plan for your

life doesn’t mean that the devil just

runs and hides instead he’s going to

throw everything he’s got at you and

Joseph is a great example of how he

stood and was able to persevere and in

the end result if you faint not you reap

in due
