Sermon Series: From the prison to the Palace
God intended to shine his bright / light into the world’s dark corners, / not simply to show up evil / but to enable people / who were woundering around / in the dark to find their way.
N. T. Wright
THIS QOUTE: REALLY RESONATES
BEFORE THE CROSS,
MOST OF US WHERE A MESS
BROKEN AND GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION.
THE DESTINATION WAS DEATH
(THEN THE PROMISE) ENTED OUR LIVES, OF ETERNAL LIFE
Joseph had a dream and a vision that the Lord gave him
It Had to have been Difficult- for Joseph
Hated by his brother;
Sold into Salvery
Serving Potiphar for 11 years
2 years in Prision
There was a price to be paid for the Calling / for the Wisdom of Heaven
Genesis 41:1–8 (ESV)
1After two whole years, / Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, / 2and behold, there came up out of the Nile / seven cows, attractive and plump,/ and they fed in the reed grass.
3And behold, / seven other cows, / ugly and thin, / came up out of the Nile after them, /
and stood by the other cows / on the bank of the Nile.
4And the ugly, thin cows / ate up the seven attractive,/ plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke.
5And he fell asleep / and dreamed a second time.
And behold, / seven ears of grain, / plump and good, / were growing on one stalk.
6And behold, / after them sprouted seven ears, / thin and blighted / by the east wind.
7And the thin ears / swallowed up the seven plump, / full ears./ And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
8So in the morning / his spirit was troubled, / and he sent / and called for all the magicians / of Egypt and all its wise men. / Pharaoh told them his dreams, / but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Point 1 Pharaoh was Uncertain of the Dreams
BACK THE V1
A.) Pharaoh has a dream,
B.) He is Standing the Nile, AND 7 Healthey Cows came up; And 7 THIN AND UGLY COWS CAME UP.
HOW MANY HAVE SEEN I AM LEGAND OR A ZOMBIE MOVIE
C.) 3And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.
4And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke.
There are those Dreams where on Vactions and we Wake up and we are like NOooooo and you try to go back to bed hoping you where back ....
Genesis 41:5–8 (ESV) IN V5 Pharaoh Falls back asleep;
5And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.
AND 7 Ears, Thin & Blighted
6And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.
And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
PHARAOH WAKES UP & HE SENDS FOR ALL THE MAGICIANS AND WISE MEN
8So in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Most people who go through struggles go to those close to them.
It could be your best, wife, Husband, the person you are most close to.
Pharaoh went to wise men, Magicians, and Council.
James 1:5–8 (ESV) Jame’s says
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Psalm 33:20–22 (ESV) David said our soul waits for the Lord
Our soul waits for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
But God had a Hebrew who was being prepared to answer the moment.
Where do you go to when trials and tribulations come?
It has to go through fire/ 2.) and Testing and purified and to give birth.
1.) Have you ever had a desire, Dream, a goal to achieve something you had in your heart?
2.) To know that you where created for so much more, than to what we have lived in this moment.
3.) Dont give up on your Dreams, or the inner Desires for more....
Point 2 Joseph is called from the prison (THE CUPBEARER)
(THE GIFT WAS REMEMBERED)
(Joseph Humility)
A.) Though Joseph May have thought he was forgotten, It was for such a time as this!
b.) Could it have been he wouldnt have been ready for for his brother? Pride & Unforgivenss
Proverbs 15:33 (ESV)
The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.
Joseph was faithfull in the palace, in prision.... JOSEPH HAD TO SERVE
Call Pastor RUBY & RAM
Genesis 41:9–12 (ESV) The Cupbearer Remembered his Offense; &
Begins to share how he and the Baker Had
9Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today.
10When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,
11We dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation.
12A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.
C.) The Interpretation came to pass as Joseph had said.....
Genesis 41:14–16 (ESV) (PHARAOH SENT FOR JOSEPH)
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.
A.) Pharaoh share his dream with Joseph
15And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.
Genesis 41:33–36 (ESV) Joseph humility tells Pharaoh
33Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven plentiful years.
35And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
36That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”
Point 3 Joseph is Raised to Power
Genesis 41:37–41 (ESV)
37This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.
38And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are.
40You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.”
41And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
A.) The plan was set into motion, On the 7 good years they would build store house
B.) Eypte would prepare for the Famine
C.) step by step they would have to follow the Plan laid out before them through the Vision and the Interpretation.
Conclusion: 3 Things we can Take away
1.) After 13 years, Joseph’s Dream, to come to pass
2.) Joseph was faithful in the process
3.) Joseph said aren’t Dreams and interpretations of the Lord….
The burden the Lord puts on our heart?
The calling and gift?
If the Lord put a dream on your heart he will give you what you need to forfill it.
