Present is captivity
Joseph – prospering yet enslaved
Israel & Church – multiplying yet inflicted
Address is God’s Plan
- prosper
- not to harm “no intentions to hurt”
- give future “health, career, and eternal”
- give hope “hope is oxygen to the soul, bridge between present and future”
- material “build houses and plant vineyards”
- relational “marry”
- expansion “increase and not diminish”
- community “seek and pray”
Map is God’s Word
Trust the map and follow the map
God’s word is seed, sword, light, bread (reveals God and self) completes, calms, heals, delivers
Hold On To The Heel (Gen.25:26)
Call, pray, seek, and search
