Don't Stop Believing - Pastor Adam

Gen 37:3 - Now Israel loved Josph more than all his sons, because Joseph was born when he was an old man.  and Israel made him a long coat of many colors.

Gen 37:20 - "Come now, let's killl him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him.  Then we'll see what comes of his dreams."

Have you ever felt like the place that used to refresh you now restricts you?

Gen 39:12 She caught him by his coat, saying, "lie with me!"  But he ran out of the house leaving the coat in her hand.

What are you romancing in your life that you should be running from?

What dreams are you forgetting for a moment of pleasure?

What promises are you giving up on for a moment of persuasion?

Gen 41:14 - So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.  When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.

Gen 41:41 - So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt."  :42 - Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger.  He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.

He changed - Pharaoh changed - You will never reach your destiny wearing what your past has put on you!

If you bring your past into your future you will never realize the potential you have in the pit/prison/palace.

When your only perception is full of the stuff in the promise you will always make it about you!!

When you feel you're the furthest away from the promise that's when God has you the closest!  

Gen 50:19 - But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid, Am I in the place of God?  :20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Your dream is not for you but for a generation's deliverance.

Don't stop believing because there is a Purpose to the process!
