Have you ever wondered, âGod, how do I get from where I am to where Iâm supposed to be?â The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who asked similar questions. But even when you donât know what the future holds, you can hold onto the vision God has given youâjust like Joseph did. đŹđźđ đ°đŽđť đŻđ˛đ°đźđşđ˛ đŽ đ˝đŽđżđ đźđł đđľđ˛ đ đśđťđśđđđżđ đŽđťđą đľđ˛đšđ˝ đđ đ°đźđťđđśđťđđ˛ đđź đ˝đđ đźđđ đ°đźđťđđ˛đťđ đšđśđ¸đ˛ đđľđśđ đŻđ đ˝đŽđżđđťđ˛đżđśđťđ´ đđśđđľ đđ, đźđż đ´đśđđśđťđ´ đŽ đąđźđťđŽđđśđźđť You can become a Partner or give a donation at: https://l.awmi.net/give-youtube

Welcome to our Thursday’s broadcast of
the Gospel truth today I’m going to
continue teaching about the life of
Joseph and I’ve written this little
brief 50-page introduction to lessons
from Joseph and that is just a small
summary of this 200 Page book that this
is the first time we’ve offered this
it’s a brand new book on lessons from
Joseph and uh we are asking for a
suggested donation on this
book but we will send this to you if
you’ll send anything and then we’re
giving away this little introduction to
lessons from Joseph as a free gift we
also have DVDs CDs and USBS taken from a
television program and I would encourage
you to really get this you know we’re
now into the nearly the end of our
second week and so I’ve already covered
a lot of material I’ve laid a foundation
in the life of Joseph and so much of
what we’re sharing is based on that
those previous things that we’ve seen
said so please go to our website you can
watch the archive copies of the program
you can get these products but I tell
you Joseph is a wonderful example he
ought to be an inspiration to everybody
he kept a good attitude through things
that most of us have never never had to
deal with most of us have never been
hated by our family so that they tried
to kill us most of us have never been
sold into slavery I mean coming from the
favored son son being wealthy to being a
slave most of us have never gone through
that and then even after he proved
himself faithful and kept his attitude
right he was lied about by the Master’s
wife and put into prison most of us have
never been sold into slavery most of us
have never been lied about and accused
of rape that we weren’t guilty of and
then put into prison and then still have
a good attitude and even when you do
good job in prison the people that you
help and you help promote them they
forget you and you just sit there and
for two years rot in
prison most of us have never been
through that and yet Joseph maintained a
great attitude through it all he never
got bitter he never got depressed he
never got into these things and some
people say how do you know that because
you don’t have you don’t have the
promotion that the scriptures shows that
he got everywhere you don’t promote
people that are depressed bitter angry
hating God God and things like that
Joseph is a great example of a person
who for 13 years endured nothing but
negative things and yet maintained his
faith in the Lord if Joseph did it you
can do it so we’re now into the 41st
chapter of Genesis this is where Pharaoh
dreamed two dreams and he couldn’t find
anybody to interpret them he knew that
they were from God I mean this made an
impression on him you know God speaks to
me through dreams a lot and there’s some
dreams that I have that are just silly
and foolish I mean they they have no
meaning to it like where you’re running
uh you know as fast as you can and yet
you aren’t getting anywhere or something
like that there’s some things that I
don’t know what that means but there’s
times that I’ve had dreams that I know
it was from God one of the most
important things that happened to me I
think happened in 201 uh 14 and I had a
dream and I mean God spoke to me and it
woke me up I sat straight up in bed and
God spoke to me I’ve had God speak to me
through dreams many times and so Pharaoh
knew that these dreams were from
God and yet nobody could interpret them
and so the chief Butler finally came to
himself and said man I’ve I’ve sinned
there was a man in prison who
interpreted my dream and it came to pass
he interpreted the chief uh Baker’s
dream and it came to pass with him and
and I believe that this man could
interpret your dream so Pharaoh sent and
called for him and I ended yesterday’s
program saying that uh Joseph cleaned
himself up put on clean clothes and
shaved himself and made himself
presentable and there’s so many people
today that are wanting to be promoted
they’re wanting people to follow them
and yet they don’t even present
themselves well physically and again I I
don’t believe that you have to put on a
you know A1 thousand suit every every
day you don’t have to dress to the nines
we have a kind of a casual society that
I like a lot of it but I still don’t
dress uh sloppy and uh there’s a lot of
young people today that just don’t
realize that that’s not the way to do
things you know JC Penney which a lot of
the younger people won’t recognize but
JC Penney used to be one of the greatest
retailers alive in his day and the JC
Penny stores they were wor worldwide and
I mean he was multi-millionaire and and
very very very successful and there’s a
story about Mr penny that when he was
going to hire some of his management POS
positions he would take these PE people
out to eat and if they salted their food
before they tasted it he wouldn’t hire
them and somebody might think well
that’s terrible to reject the person
over that but his logic was that they
are people that just do things by habit
they’re just to Salt their food they
hadn’t even tasted it they don’t know if
it needs to be salted or not and a
person who wasn’t more objective than
that and they just did things because
it’s the way it’s always been done he
didn’t want people like that in
management now you can criticize him if
you want to but he built one of the
largest retail outlets the history of
the world and at his time it probably
was the biggest retail thing and it was
because he had some values and stuff and
he valued things like that you may
dislike that but I’m telling you it’s
it’s succeeded you may have one of these
attitudes that you ought to be sloppy
and you ought to be able to dress any
way you want to and everybody else has
to adjust to you I tell you that
attitude is not going to get you
promoted so anyway I dealt with that
yesterday so after Joseph came this is
Genesis 41:15 and Pharaoh said unto
Joseph I have dreamed a dream and there
is none that can interpret it and I have
heard say of thee that thou cast
understand a dream to interpret it and
Joseph answered Pharaoh saying it is not
in Me God shall give Pharaoh an answer
of Peace again this is a reflection of
who Joseph was here Joseph was all of a
sudden promoted in standing before the
most important person on the planet as
far as position and power and authority
goes and the the person is saying I hear
that you can interpret dreams he was
elevating Joseph and saying
complimentary things and did you know
that Joseph just immediately deflected
all the praise and the glory to God and
said it’s not in me it’s not my ability
it’s God in Me Now again there’s very
few people that would do that if
somebody in a great position of
authority gave you a compliment with
singing your Praises most people would
just accept it but Joseph it’s not that
he denied that God had used him and that
God interpreted these dreams if Joseph
would have just said oh I can’t do it I
nothing I have nothing and I can do
nothing well then Pharaoh wouldn’t have
listened to him and nothing would have
happened he but he deflected the praise
and gave it to the Lord and that really
shows you that he his identity was in
the Lord and this is the same thing that
was back in the 39th chapter when he was
standing on an auction block he was
still a prosperous man even though he
was stripped naked and being sold into
slavery and when he was in prison even
though most people would look at that as
man you can’t get much lower than that
that he was still having his identity in
the Lord and so here he is being
complimented by the strongest man on the
planet and he’s giving all the glory to
God man what a great attitude and so in
verse 17 Pharaoh said unto Joseph in my
dream behold I stood upon the bank of
the river and behold there came up out
of the river seven kind fat fleshed and
well favored and they fed in a meadow
and behold seven other kind came up
after them poor and ill-favored
and lean flesh such as I have never seen
in all the land of Egypt for Badness and
the lean and the ill-favored kind did
eat up the first seven fat kind and when
he had eaten them up it could not be
known that they had eaten them for they
were still ill-favored as at the
beginning so I awoke and I saw in my
dream and behold seven ears came up on
one stalk full and good and behold seven
ears withered thin and blasted with the
East Wind sprung up after them and the
thin ears devoured the seven good ears
and I told this unto The Magicians but
there was none that could declare it
unto me and Joseph said unto Pharaoh the
dream of pharaoh is one and other words
these two dreams were making one point
is the point that he was making and so
um he said unto him the dreams of
pharaoh are one uh what God is about to
do he shows up to Pharaoh what he is
about to do and in verse 26 the seven
good kind are seven ears and the Seven
good ears are seven years the dream is
one and the Seven thin and ill-favored
kind that came up after them are seven
years and the Seven empty ears blasted
with the East Wind shall be seven years
of famine this is the thing which I have
spoken unto Pharaoh what God is about to
do he showeth unto Pharaoh behold there
come seven years of great plenty
throughout all the land of Egypt and
there shall arise after them seven years
of famine and all of the Plenty shall be
forgotten in the land of Egypt and the
famine shall consume the land and the
Plenty shall not be known in the land by
reason of that famine following for it
shall be very Grievous and look at this
in verse 32 it says and for that the
dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice it
is because the thing is established by
God and God will shortly bring it to
pass
you know I could spend the rest of this
program just talking about this one
thing I want to move on but you know we
all have dreams and sometimes dreams are
meaningless they’re just random thoughts
of our subconscious and they mean
nothing so I do not intend to say that
all dreams are significant and something
from God but there’s at least 15 times
in Scripture that God used dreams to
speak to people six of them are right
here in Joseph’s life God spoke to the
husband of Mary the Joseph of the New
Testament The Stepfather of Jesus
through a dream Nebuchadnezzar had God
speak to him through dreams multiple
times and so dreams can be significant
but sometimes a dream is given so that
you can change what’s happening in other
words God’s going to show you something
that’s going to happen and it may be
good or it may be bad but it can be
changed you can either cooperate with it
Rebel at it you can stop it you can you
can confirm it sometimes dreams can be
changed God could show you something
that potentially could happen so that
you could change and and avoid that but
when a dream is doubled unto you and
this isn’t just saying two dreams but
two dreams that made the exact same
point that’s because this thing is
established and it’s going to happen now
again there needs to be a little
interpretation with that but this is one
of the things I get out of that that’s
what he said right here for as much as
the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice
it is because the thing is established
by God and God will shortly bring it to
pass and now Joseph goes beyond just
interpreting the dreams and I believe he
knows in his heart that this is the day
that God had shown him 13 years before
this is what he had been believing for I
think he knew that his time had come you
know you need to be able you need to be
ready to seize an opportunity when it
comes your way and I think some people
have been just diverted they’ve been
goofing off they’ve been just wasting
their time and when their opportunity
comes they aren’t ready they aren’t
prepared for it Joseph had stayed
focused on God and he was faithful
through every negative thing I believe
that he knew that this is what God uh
was going to use to promote him and to
get him out of the prison and so now he
goes beyond just interpreting the dream
to actually giving counsel
to Pharaoh now think about this and
you’ll find out later I’m not going to
take time to turn over and verify this
but it does say that the Egyptians hated
the Hebrews they wouldn’t even eat with
them Joseph had to separate himself from
the Egyptians so there was a racial
Prejudice prejudice against the Hebrews
and yet here is this Hebrew person not
only a Hebrew but a Hebrew person that
had been in prison giving instruction to
Pharaoh the mightiest milit AR person
the mightiest Nation on the earth at
that time this was bold on his part and
you know if you are going to see God’s
will come to pass you don’t have to be
arrogant you don’t have to promote
yourself Joseph had proven that he was
very patient and waiting on God but when
the time comes you have to be able to
stand up and know that God has called
you and anointed you and you have to be
able to speak in the name of the Lord
and knock back down you got to be
bold and so here’s boldness on Joseph’s
part and so here’s what he said unto
Pharaoh in verse 33 now therefore let
Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise
and set him over the land of Egypt let
Pharaoh do this and let him appoint
officers over the land and take up the
fifth part of the land of Egypt in the
seven plenteous years in other words
this is Pharaoh putting a 20% tax on all
produce during those plenteous years and
then in verse 35 and let them gather all
the food of those good years that come
and lay up corn under the hand of
pharaoh and let him keep food in the
cities and that food shall be for store
to the land against the seven years of
famine which shall be in the L land of
Egypt that the land perish not through
the famine and then the next verse verse
37 says and the thing was good in the
eyes of pharaoh and in the eyes of all
his servants and pharaoh phoh said unto
his servants can we find such a one as
this is a man in whom the spirit of God
is well now this is significant this
wasn’t just uh Joseph that was exerting
this he had given all the praise to God
before he even heard the dreams he says
it’s God that’s going to do this so he
he definitely showed that anything good
coming through him it was God and
Pharaoh recognized this and says can we
find anybody as good as Joseph a man who
God Speak speaks through and he goes on
to say in verse 39 and Pharaoh said unto
Joseph for as much as God has shown thee
all of this there is none so discreet
and wise as Thou Art Thou shalt be over
my house and according to Thy word shall
all my people be ruled only in the
throne will I be greater than thou and
Pharaoh said unto Joseph see I have set
thee over all the land of Egypt which
again the land of Egypt this was the
superpower of that day it was the
strongest Nation on the planet and
Pharaoh took all off his ring from his
hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand and
arrayed him in vestures of fine linen
and put a gold chain about his neck and
he made him ride in the second Chariot
which he had and they cried before him
bowed the knee and he made him ruler
over all the land of Egypt and Pharaoh
said unto Joseph I am pharaoh and
without thee shall no man live lift up
his hand or foot in all the land of
Egypt man this is
amazing Pharaoh gave Joseph such power
and authority to take off his ring and
give it to him that’s how they sealed
things they would put wax on things and
they would use the uh kingly ring as
Insignia nobody else had one like that
and that proved that the King was the
one who had passed this he gave Joseph
that Authority and he goes on to say
that only in the throne would Joseph be
subject unto him and everything else
Pharaoh gave Joseph the ability to rule
and so it says here in verse uh 44
Pharaoh said unto Joseph I am pharaoh
and without thee shall no man lift up
his hand or foot in all the land of
Egypt and Pharaoh called Joseph’s name
zapa and anyway he gave him his wife um
I can’t pronounce her name either the
daughter of potier priest of an and
Joseph went out over over all the land
of Egypt and notice right here in verse
46 it says and Joseph was 30 years old
when he stood before Pharaoh king of
Egypt if you compare this with Genesis
chapter 37 Joseph was 17 when these
dreams came so this shows us that for 13
years from the time of 17 until 30 every
single thing that happened in Joseph’s
life was negative
and boy there’s a lot of people that
they get excited thinking about God’s
got a purpose for my life but they don’t
recognize it there’s going to be some
hardship in between where they are and
where they go you know I remember not
long after the Lord changed my life
march the 23rd
1968 I was out praying one night there
was a field that was just three houses
down from us and it was this huge area
it probably was 5 10 acres and it was
just a field it’s now become part of the
University of Texas at Arlington and
it’s their athletic field and they have
all kinds of baseball diamonds and
things
there but at that time it was totally
empty and I was out there praying One
Night in the middle of this field nobody
could see me it was dark and I was pray
and boy God touched me and just showed
me that he was going to do some things
in my life and I was so thrilled over it
and I was praising God and about that
time this thunderstorm came and I mean
it started raining buckets of water and
so I started heading for home but as I
was walking I had to cross this little
ditch thing and it was filled with water
and I couldn’t see and I was tripping
and falling and I had M mud on me and uh
it was probably 10 minutes me walking
through this field before I could get
back home and anyway as I was doing I
just knew this was I believe God
speaking to me cuz he had just shown me
some things he wanted to do with my life
and as I was headed for home in this
rain storm just like I was tripping and
falling I couldn’t see where I was going
and there’s times that I fell flat on my
face and had to get up and walk the Lord
spoke to me and he says there’s going to
be a lot of things in between where you
are right now and where I’m going to
lead you and you’re going to trip and
fall just like you know me trying to get
back to the house but I knew where I was
going and I knew that if I just kept
putting one foot in front of the other I
would eventually get back home and even
though I couldn’t see and I was stepping
in holes and things I knew eventually
I’d get there and I remember that to
this day that was probably U somewhere
around
1970 or 71 probably 71 right after I got
back out of Vietnam and I remember that
to this day and the Lord has told me a
lot of times that I may not know
everything that’s in between where I am
and where I’m going I know I’m going to
trip and fall I’m going to probably get
dirty I’m going to have things happen
but I’m going to make it and I really
believe that and and basically this is
what happened with Joseph 17 years old
God put the vision in his heart but for
13 years everything that happened was
negative and he had a lot of negative
things happen but because he refused to
faint he wound up seeing it come to pass
you know it says in Galatians chapter 6
that in due season you will reap if you
faint not and I’ve often had other
people describe the things that are
happening now right now God is blessing
us we are having people respond we’re
having to increase
build it’s hard for us to contain all
the blessings that God is sending our
way and I’ve often had other people
describe what caused it and basically
I’ve heard many people say you know the
the biggest thing is Andrew just didn’t
quit and man I had an opportunity to
quit but I didn’t quit Joseph didn’t
quit he just remained faithful it took
13 years and it was actually 22 years
before he began to see his dreams fully
come to pass but before the first
positive thing happened it was 13 years
and one of the things that pushed him
through is he just refused to quit and
that’s because he had this Vision these
dreams from God and until those dreams
came true the things that God had shown
him kept him anchored to the things of
God I tell you this is one of the great
uh keys to success is just get
started and don’t quit
regardless of how hard it is I know that
there’s some people watching this
program today and you’re feeling like
quitting you’re thinking of quitting I’m
telling you don’t quit don’t quit you
just keep standing on what God has shown
you and if you don’t quit in due season
you will
reap I want to thank you for watching
