A Great Deliverance- That Dreamer!: Genesis 37.1-11, 19-22

Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers;

and they hated him even more. Genesis 37.5

The Joseph Story-

· Abraham

· Isaac

· Jacob and Esau

· Jacob and Rachel

· The 12 Sons

The Dreams-

· The Sheaves

· The Stars

The Implications-

· Be in position to hear from God.

o Believing that he is going to speak

o Listening when he speaks

· Be open to hearing from God.

· God is not a respecter of persons.

· It may take years for the dream to come true.

· The fulfillment may be different than our anticipation.

· Be wise in sharing God’s dream.

· Be patient in waiting for the fulfillment of the dream.

Take Away Prayer

Lord God,

I long for you to give me a dream,

A goal,

A purpose for my life.

I want to hear you speak;

I have heard you, Jesus.

Help me, Lord;

Give me patience to wait for your time,

Your will,

Your dream.

Amen.
