  • There was this record-breaking rainfall. it
  • 00:01:37.954 --> 00:01:39.289

  • 00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:40.557
  • Was causing all kinds of damage, mudslides, flash
  • 00:01:40.623 --> 00:01:42.725
  • Damage, mudslides, flash flooding, people having to
  • 00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:44.227
  • Flooding, people having to evacuate. they would get
  • 00:01:44.294 --> 00:01:46.196
  • Evacuate. they would get through one big storm, two
  • 00:01:46.262 --> 00:01:48.131
  • Through one big storm, two weeks later another one even
  • 00:01:48.198 --> 00:01:50.200
  • Weeks later another one even bigger. but when springtime
  • 00:01:50.266 --> 00:01:52.569
  • Bigger. but when springtime rolled around, something
  • 00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:53.937
  • Rolled around, something unusual happened. all across
  • 00:01:54.003 --> 00:01:56.406
  • Unusual happened. all across the fields and mountain
  • 00:01:56.472 --> 00:01:57.774
  • The fields and mountain sides, where it was normally
  • 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.509
  • Sides, where it was normally grass and weeds, there were
  • 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.711
  • Grass and weeds, there were flowers blossoming
  • 00:02:01.778 --> 00:02:03.313
  • Flowers blossoming everywhere. it was the most
  • 00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:05.114
  • Everywhere. it was the most beautiful, colorful sight. it
  • 00:02:05.181 --> 00:02:07.317
  • Beautiful, colorful sight. it looked like a postcard. they
  • 00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:09.285
  • Looked like a postcard. they call it a super bloom.
  • 00:02:09.352 --> 00:02:11.754
  • Call it a super bloom. because of the
  • 00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:12.589
  • Because of the record-breaking rainfall,
  • 00:02:12.655 --> 00:02:14.324
  • Record-breaking rainfall, seeds that had been dormant
  • 00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:15.959
  • Seeds that had been dormant for years began to blossom.
  • 00:02:16.025 --> 00:02:18.828
  • For years began to blossom. we were driving and we pulled
  • 00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:20.396
  • We were driving and we pulled over to look. the whole
  • 00:02:20.463 --> 00:02:22.031
  • Over to look. the whole mountainside was filled with
  • 00:02:22.098 --> 00:02:23.800
  • Mountainside was filled with bright yellow flowers, pinks
  • 00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:26.135
  • Bright yellow flowers, pinks and purples, like something
  • 00:02:26.202 --> 00:02:27.770
  • And purples, like something you've never seen. it was so
  • 00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:28.738
  • You've never seen. it was so distinct, they could see it
  • 00:02:28.805 --> 00:02:29.405
  • Distinct, they could see it on satellite images from
  • 00:02:29.472 --> 00:02:30.039
  • On satellite images from space. all the rain caused
  • 00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:30.707
  • Space. all the rain caused trouble, hardship, but
  • 00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:32.675
  • Trouble, hardship, but without that excessive rain
  • 00:02:32.742 --> 00:02:34.811
  • Without that excessive rain there would have never been a
  • 00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:35.979
  • There would have never been a super bloom.
  • 00:02:36.045 --> 00:02:37.513
  • Super bloom. it's the same principle in
  • 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:38.648
  • It's the same principle in life. we all have rain,
  • 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:41.217
  • Life. we all have rain, difficulties. sometimes
  • 00:02:41.284 --> 00:02:42.919
  • Difficulties. sometimes there's a downpour. it's one
  • 00:02:42.986 --> 00:02:44.854
  • There's a downpour. it's one thing after another. trouble
  • 00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:46.556
  • Thing after another. trouble at work, we go through a
  • 00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:48.091
  • At work, we go through a loss, a child is off course,
  • 00:02:48.157 --> 00:02:50.293
  • Loss, a child is off course, we're dealing with a health
  • 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.494
  • We're dealing with a health issue. thoughts will tell
  • 00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:53.096
  • Issue. thoughts will tell you, “this is the way it's
  • 00:02:53.162 --> 00:02:54.197
  • You, “this is the way it's always going to be. you'll
  • 00:02:54.264 --> 00:02:55.765
  • Always going to be. you'll always struggle, always have
  • 00:02:55.832 --> 00:02:57.667
  • Always struggle, always have heartache, always be lonely.”
  • 00:02:57.734 --> 00:02:59.936
  • Heartache, always be lonely.” no, all that rain is a sign
  • 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:02.405
  • No, all that rain is a sign that a super bloom is coming.
  • 00:03:02.472 --> 00:03:04.574
  • That a super bloom is coming. you're about to blossom.
  • 00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:06.309
  • You're about to blossom. you're going to see favor,
  • 00:03:06.376 --> 00:03:08.011
  • You're going to see favor, opportunities, relationships
  • 00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:10.613
  • Opportunities, relationships that you could have never
  • 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:11.481
  • That you could have never seen without the rain. we
  • 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:14.150
  • Seen without the rain. we don't like the rain. it's
  • 00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:15.685
  • Don't like the rain. it's uncomfortable. they walked
  • 00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.587
  • Uncomfortable. they walked away, the contract fell
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.522
  • Away, the contract fell through, but the rain is
  • 00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:21.291
  • Through, but the rain is necessary. there are seeds in
  • 00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:23.760
  • Necessary. there are seeds in you that will only open up by
  • 00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:26.162
  • You that will only open up by going through excessive rain.
  • 00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:28.398
  • Going through excessive rain. the rain seems like a setback
  • 00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:30.400
  • The rain seems like a setback but really, it's setting you
  • 00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:31.734
  • But really, it's setting you up for greater levels. on the
  • 00:03:31.801 --> 00:03:34.070
  • Up for greater levels. on the other side of that difficulty
  • 00:03:34.137 --> 00:03:36.072
  • Other side of that difficulty is favor like you've never
  • 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:37.807
  • Is favor like you've never seen.

  • Working against you, it's setting you up for a super
  • 00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:10.967
  • Setting you up for a super bloom. it's waking up the
  • 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:12.668
  • Bloom. it's waking up the seeds that were lying
  • 00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:13.970
  • Seeds that were lying dormant. it's going to bring
  • 00:05:14.036 --> 00:05:15.671
  • Dormant. it's going to bring to life opportunity,
  • 00:05:15.738 --> 00:05:17.640
  • To life opportunity, breakthroughs, healing,
  • 00:05:17.707 --> 00:05:19.108
  • Breakthroughs, healing, abundance. you're going to
  • 00:05:19.175 --> 00:05:20.610
  • Abundance. you're going to step in to houses that you
  • 00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:22.044
  • Step in to houses that you didn't build, vineyards that
  • 00:05:22.111 --> 00:05:23.880
  • Didn't build, vineyards that you didn't plant. that's
  • 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.281
  • You didn't plant. that's those blessings that your
  • 00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:26.449
  • Those blessings that your loved ones prayed for, but
  • 00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:28.017
  • Loved ones prayed for, but they never saw. generational
  • 00:05:28.084 --> 00:05:29.752
  • They never saw. generational blessings. you're going to
  • 00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:31.721
  • Blessings. you're going to bloom in ways you've never
  • 00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:33.256
  • Bloom in ways you've never imagined. the medical report
  • 00:05:33.322 --> 00:05:35.291
  • Imagined. the medical report said you wouldn't get well
  • 00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.592
  • Said you wouldn't get well but look at you now; you're
  • 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.760
  • But look at you now; you're healthy and whole. it looked
  • 00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:39.829
  • Healthy and whole. it looked like you'd always struggle,
  • 00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:41.397
  • Like you'd always struggle, then one good break, one
  • 00:05:41.464 --> 00:05:43.166
  • Then one good break, one contract, one opportunity,
  • 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:45.034
  • Contract, one opportunity, and you have overflow,
  • 00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:46.335
  • And you have overflow, abundance. or maybe you
  • 00:05:46.402 --> 00:05:48.571
  • Abundance. or maybe you thought it was too late to
  • 00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:49.639
  • Thought it was too late to accomplish your dream, to
  • 00:05:49.705 --> 00:05:51.474
  • Accomplish your dream, to write the book, start the
  • 00:05:51.541 --> 00:05:52.842
  • Write the book, start the business, to build the house,
  • 00:05:52.909 --> 00:05:55.044
  • Business, to build the house, then things started falling
  • 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:56.312
  • Then things started falling into place, new doors opened,
  • 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.881
  • Into place, new doors opened, the right people showed up,
  • 00:05:58.948 --> 00:06:00.349
  • The right people showed up, supernatural provision. what
  • 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.518
  • Supernatural provision. what happened? you came into a
  • 00:06:02.585 --> 00:06:04.287
  • Happened? you came into a super bloom. the rain stopped
  • 00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:07.123
  • Super bloom. the rain stopped and the seeds came to life.
  • 00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:09.125
  • And the seeds came to life. you blossomed. you saw levels
  • 00:06:09.192 --> 00:06:11.694
  • You blossomed. you saw levels you would have never seen
  • 00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.196
  • You would have never seen without the excessive rain.
  • 00:06:13.262 --> 00:06:15.832
  • Without the excessive rain. one expert talked about how
  • 00:06:15.898 --> 00:06:17.567
  • One expert talked about how in order to have a super
  • 00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:19.202
  • In order to have a super bloom, the conditions had to
  • 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.970
  • Bloom, the conditions had to be just right. what's
  • 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:22.805
  • Be just right. what's interesting is california had
  • 00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:25.107
  • Interesting is california had been in one of the top three
  • 00:06:25.174 --> 00:06:26.676
  • Been in one of the top three droughts in their history.
  • 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:29.011
  • Droughts in their history. people had to conserve water,
  • 00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:31.280
  • People had to conserve water, not run their sprinklers. it
  • 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:32.882
  • Not run their sprinklers. it was inconvenient, a hardship.
  • 00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:35.918
  • Was inconvenient, a hardship. but during the drought,
  • 00:06:35.985 --> 00:06:36.953
  • But during the drought, something unusual was
  • 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:38.120
  • Something unusual was happening. most of the weeds
  • 00:06:38.187 --> 00:06:40.590
  • Happening. most of the weeds and grass that normally
  • 00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:41.958
  • And grass that normally filled the mountain sides had
  • 00:06:42.024 --> 00:06:43.926
  • Filled the mountain sides had died off. that made room for
  • 00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:46.496
  • Died off. that made room for these flower seeds that were
  • 00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:48.364
  • These flower seeds that were buried deeper underground to
  • 00:06:48.431 --> 00:06:50.399
  • Buried deeper underground to receive the water and come to
  • 00:06:50.466 --> 00:06:52.001
  • Receive the water and come to life. had there not been a
  • 00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:54.070
  • Life. had there not been a drought, but just the
  • 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.771
  • Drought, but just the excessive rain, these flower
  • 00:06:55.838 --> 00:06:58.007
  • Excessive rain, these flower seeds wouldn't have
  • 00:06:58.074 --> 00:06:59.075
  • Seeds wouldn't have germinated. the perfect
  • 00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:01.310
  • Germinated. the perfect conditions for a super bloom
  • 00:07:01.377 --> 00:07:03.813
  • Conditions for a super bloom was a dry season followed by
  • 00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:06.048
  • Was a dry season followed by excessive rain. god was
  • 00:07:06.115 --> 00:07:08.618
  • Excessive rain. god was showing us a principle. many
  • 00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:10.853
  • Showing us a principle. many times, before our super
  • 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.121
  • Times, before our super bloom, there's a dry season.
  • 00:07:12.188 --> 00:07:14.757
  • Bloom, there's a dry season. a drought, nothing good is
  • 00:07:14.824 --> 00:07:16.692
  • A drought, nothing good is happening, no favor, no
  • 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.494
  • Happening, no favor, no promotion, things are slow.
  • 00:07:18.561 --> 00:07:20.963
  • Promotion, things are slow. it's tempting to quit
  • 00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:21.797
  • It's tempting to quit believing, “god where are
  • 00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:22.999
  • Believing, “god where are you, why is this not
  • 00:07:23.065 --> 00:07:24.534
  • You, why is this not changing.” god has not
  • 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.402
  • Changing.” god has not forgotten about you. the
  • 00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:28.237
  • Forgotten about you. the drought is all a part of his
  • 00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:29.805
  • Drought is all a part of his plan. it's making room for
  • 00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:32.074
  • Plan. it's making room for the new things he's about to
  • 00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:33.442
  • The new things he's about to do.
  • 00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:34.844
  • Do. you would think the perfect
  • 00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:36.479
  • You would think the perfect conditions for a super bloom
  • 00:07:36.546 --> 00:07:37.947
  • Conditions for a super bloom would be good weather,
  • 00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:39.615
  • Would be good weather, sunshine, the right amount of
  • 00:07:39.682 --> 00:07:41.517
  • Sunshine, the right amount of water, the right amount of
  • 00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:42.885
  • Water, the right amount of fertilizer. it's just the
  • 00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:44.353
  • Fertilizer. it's just the opposite. to have a super
  • 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.522
  • Opposite. to have a super bloom you have to have a
  • 00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:48.124
  • Bloom you have to have a drought followed by excessive
  • 00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:50.326
  • Drought followed by excessive rain. a drought is bad
  • 00:07:50.393 --> 00:07:52.495
  • Rain. a drought is bad enough, “this is slow, i feel
  • 00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:55.431
  • Enough, “this is slow, i feel stuck in my career, nothings
  • 00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:57.433
  • Stuck in my career, nothings changing in my health, my
  • 00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:58.968
  • Changing in my health, my child is still off course.”
  • 00:07:59.035 --> 00:08:01.237
  • Child is still off course.” if the drought doesn't
  • 00:08:01.304 --> 00:08:02.338
  • If the drought doesn't discourage us, then here
  • 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:03.873
  • Discourage us, then here comes the excessive rain.
  • 00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:05.841
  • Comes the excessive rain. trouble at work, a pandemic
  • 00:08:05.908 --> 00:08:08.044
  • Trouble at work, a pandemic hits, a friend turned on you,
  • 00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:10.046
  • Hits, a friend turned on you, you lost a loved one. when it
  • 00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:11.681
  • You lost a loved one. when it rains it pours. but when you
  • 00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:14.083
  • Rains it pours. but when you understand how god works,
  • 00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:16.319
  • Understand how god works, that the dry season, the
  • 00:08:16.385 --> 00:08:18.187
  • That the dry season, the excessive rain, that's all
  • 00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:20.256
  • Excessive rain, that's all leading to a super bloom.
  • 00:08:20.323 --> 00:08:22.391
  • Leading to a super bloom. that's how those seeds of
  • 00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:23.693
  • That's how those seeds of increase, seeds of abundance,
  • 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.128
  • Increase, seeds of abundance, seeds of new levels are going
  • 00:08:26.195 --> 00:08:27.730
  • Seeds of new levels are going to take root. the drought is
  • 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:30.099
  • To take root. the drought is not permanent. the excessive
  • 00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:32.335
  • Not permanent. the excessive rain may feel like it's going
  • 00:08:32.401 --> 00:08:33.869
  • Rain may feel like it's going to flood you. like you're
  • 00:08:33.936 --> 00:08:35.471
  • To flood you. like you're going to go under, but god
  • 00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:37.440
  • Going to go under, but god has you in the palm of his
  • 00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:38.774
  • Has you in the palm of his hand. he said, “you'll go
  • 00:08:38.841 --> 00:08:40.710
  • Hand. he said, “you'll go through the floods and not be
  • 00:08:40.776 --> 00:08:42.478
  • Through the floods and not be drowned.” you'll go through
  • 00:08:42.545 --> 00:08:44.246
  • Drowned.” you'll go through the dry seasons and not be
  • 00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:45.881
  • The dry seasons and not be harmed. it may seem odd, but
  • 00:08:45.948 --> 00:08:48.718
  • Harmed. it may seem odd, but that's the perfect condition
  • 00:08:48.784 --> 00:08:50.453
  • That's the perfect condition for a super bloom. the dry
  • 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.521
  • For a super bloom. the dry season, the excessive rain,
  • 00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:54.724
  • Season, the excessive rain, it's not setting you back,
  • 00:08:54.790 --> 00:08:56.459
  • It's not setting you back, it's setting you up to
  • 00:08:56.525 --> 00:08:57.493
  • It's setting you up to flourish, to blossom, to see
  • 00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:00.162
  • Flourish, to blossom, to see greater favor, greater joy,
  • 00:09:00.229 --> 00:09:02.765
  • Greater favor, greater joy, greater resources, greater
  • 00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:04.066
  • Greater resources, greater influence.
  • 00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:05.568
  • Influence. now the key is what kind of
  • 00:09:05.635 --> 00:09:07.269
  • Now the key is what kind of attitude do we have in the
  • 00:09:07.336 --> 00:09:08.838
  • Attitude do we have in the dry seasons. when it's slow,
  • 00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:11.407
  • Dry seasons. when it's slow, we're not seeing any
  • 00:09:11.474 --> 00:09:12.475
  • We're not seeing any progress. in the excessive
  • 00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:14.877
  • Progress. in the excessive rain. you get through one
  • 00:09:14.944 --> 00:09:16.679
  • Rain. you get through one struggle and something else
  • 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.147
  • Struggle and something else hits. it's easy to complain,
  • 00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:20.916
  • Hits. it's easy to complain, get bitter, “god it's not
  • 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.118
  • Get bitter, “god it's not fair.” you have to dig down
  • 00:09:22.184 --> 00:09:24.153
  • Fair.” you have to dig down deep and say, “god, i trust
  • 00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.088
  • Deep and say, “god, i trust you. i know you wouldn't have
  • 00:09:26.155 --> 00:09:28.090
  • You. i know you wouldn't have allowed this if it wasn't
  • 00:09:28.157 --> 00:09:29.692
  • Allowed this if it wasn't working for me. yes, i'm in a
  • 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.927
  • Working for me. yes, i'm in a drought, yes, i have these
  • 00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.396
  • Drought, yes, i have these challenges, but i believe a
  • 00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:35.364
  • Challenges, but i believe a super bloom is coming. that i
  • 00:09:35.431 --> 00:09:37.333
  • Super bloom is coming. that i will blossom in my health,
  • 00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:39.001
  • Will blossom in my health, blossom in my finances,
  • 00:09:39.068 --> 00:09:40.636
  • Blossom in my finances, blossom in my relationships.”
  • 00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:43.639
  • Blossom in my relationships.” this is what happened with
  • 00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:44.607
  • This is what happened with joseph. god put a dream in
  • 00:09:44.674 --> 00:09:46.609
  • Joseph. god put a dream in his heart that he was going
  • 00:09:46.676 --> 00:09:47.910
  • His heart that he was going to be in leadership and do
  • 00:09:47.977 --> 00:09:49.445
  • To be in leadership and do great things. that seed was
  • 00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:51.514
  • Great things. that seed was planted, but it didn't come
  • 00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:53.149
  • Planted, but it didn't come to pass without opposition.
  • 00:09:53.215 --> 00:09:55.484
  • To pass without opposition. you can't reach the fullness
  • 00:09:55.551 --> 00:09:57.019
  • You can't reach the fullness of your potential without
  • 00:09:57.086 --> 00:09:58.587
  • Of your potential without delays, setbacks, people that
  • 00:09:58.654 --> 00:10:01.257
  • Delays, setbacks, people that turn on you. the apostle paul
  • 00:10:01.323 --> 00:10:03.559
  • Turn on you. the apostle paul said, “a wide door of
  • 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:05.327
  • Said, “a wide door of opportunity is open and there
  • 00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:07.563
  • Opportunity is open and there are many adversaries.” it
  • 00:10:07.630 --> 00:10:09.365
  • Are many adversaries.” it would be much easier if god
  • 00:10:09.432 --> 00:10:11.367
  • Would be much easier if god gave us the dream and then
  • 00:10:11.434 --> 00:10:12.802
  • Gave us the dream and then just brought it to pass, made
  • 00:10:12.868 --> 00:10:14.603
  • Just brought it to pass, made everything easy. but we would
  • 00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:16.639
  • Everything easy. but we would never grow, we would never
  • 00:10:16.706 --> 00:10:18.808
  • Never grow, we would never develop our spiritual muscles
  • 00:10:18.874 --> 00:10:20.476
  • Develop our spiritual muscles and we'd never learn to
  • 00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:22.078
  • And we'd never learn to really trust him. in the
  • 00:10:22.144 --> 00:10:24.346
  • Really trust him. in the difficult times is where you
  • 00:10:24.413 --> 00:10:26.115
  • Difficult times is where you show god what you're made of.
  • 00:10:26.182 --> 00:10:28.517

  • Give up on those dreams. joseph's brothers were
  • 00:10:42.231 --> 00:10:43.165
  • Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, and they
  • 00:10:43.232 --> 00:10:44.400
  • Jealous of him, and they threw him into a pit.
  • 00:10:44.467 --> 00:10:46.035
  • Threw him into a pit. eventually they sold him as a
  • 00:10:46.102 --> 00:10:47.603
  • Eventually they sold him as a slave. his whole world was
  • 00:10:47.670 --> 00:10:49.805
  • Slave. his whole world was turned upside down. he went
  • 00:10:49.872 --> 00:10:51.574
  • Turned upside down. he went from having this exciting
  • 00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:52.808
  • From having this exciting dream, being his father's

  • Will, didn't speak the language, betrayed by his
  • 00:11:00.015 --> 00:11:01.751
  • Language, betrayed by his brothers. but joseph didn't
  • 00:11:01.817 --> 00:11:03.886
  • Brothers. but joseph didn't get bitter. he didn't say,
  • 00:11:03.953 --> 00:11:05.654
  • Get bitter. he didn't say, “god this is not fair. you
  • 00:11:05.721 --> 00:11:07.757
  • “god this is not fair. you said i was going to do great
  • 00:11:07.823 --> 00:11:08.891
  • Said i was going to do great things.” he understood that
  • 00:11:08.958 --> 00:11:11.360
  • Things.” he understood that god was still in control.
  • 00:11:11.427 --> 00:11:13.429
  • God was still in control. that the setback wasn't his
  • 00:11:13.496 --> 00:11:14.897
  • That the setback wasn't his final destination. that what
  • 00:11:14.964 --> 00:11:16.966
  • Final destination. that what god promised would still come
  • 00:11:17.032 --> 00:11:18.801
  • God promised would still come to pass.
  • 00:11:18.868 --> 00:11:20.236
  • To pass. he was in charge of
  • 00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:21.403
  • He was in charge of potiphar's house, an egyptian
  • 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:23.806
  • Potiphar's house, an egyptian army officer. joseph was
  • 00:11:23.873 --> 00:11:26.008
  • Army officer. joseph was being his best, excelling,
  • 00:11:26.075 --> 00:11:28.210
  • Being his best, excelling, when potiphar's wife lied
  • 00:11:28.277 --> 00:11:29.645
  • When potiphar's wife lied about him. she falsely
  • 00:11:29.712 --> 00:11:31.313
  • About him. she falsely accused joseph and he was put
  • 00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:33.082
  • Accused joseph and he was put in prison, another bad break.
  • 00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:36.018
  • In prison, another bad break. he was in egypt for thirteen
  • 00:11:36.085 --> 00:11:37.853
  • He was in egypt for thirteen years, a dry season. i'm sure
  • 00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:41.090
  • Years, a dry season. i'm sure thoughts whispered, “joseph,
  • 00:11:41.157 --> 00:11:42.892
  • Thoughts whispered, “joseph, it's never going to happen
  • 00:11:42.958 --> 00:11:43.759
  • It's never going to happen now. come on man, god's
  • 00:11:43.826 --> 00:11:45.561
  • Now. come on man, god's forgotten about you. look at
  • 00:11:45.628 --> 00:11:46.962
  • Forgotten about you. look at how long it's been.” joseph
  • 00:11:47.029 --> 00:11:49.331
  • How long it's been.” joseph went through a drought, he
  • 00:11:49.398 --> 00:11:51.000
  • Went through a drought, he went through excessive rain,
  • 00:11:51.066 --> 00:11:52.802
  • Went through excessive rain, trouble, betrayal, lonely
  • 00:11:52.868 --> 00:11:55.271
  • Trouble, betrayal, lonely nights. but those two things
  • 00:11:55.337 --> 00:11:57.706
  • Nights. but those two things are the perfect conditions
  • 00:11:57.773 --> 00:11:59.108
  • Are the perfect conditions for a super bloom. deep down,
  • 00:11:59.175 --> 00:12:01.410
  • For a super bloom. deep down, he knew that god was up to
  • 00:12:01.477 --> 00:12:03.078
  • He knew that god was up to something. one morning the
  • 00:12:03.145 --> 00:12:05.281
  • Something. one morning the pharaoh had a dream that he
  • 00:12:05.347 --> 00:12:06.816
  • Pharaoh had a dream that he didn't understand. the butler
  • 00:12:06.882 --> 00:12:09.084

  • Told the pharaoh that joseph could interpret dreams. the
  • 00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:12.955
  • Could interpret dreams. the scripture says, “they sent
  • 00:12:13.022 --> 00:12:14.523
  • Scripture says, “they sent word for joseph to come
  • 00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:16.325
  • Word for joseph to come quickly to the palace.”
  • 00:12:16.392 --> 00:12:18.961
  • Quickly to the palace.” joseph woke up that morning
  • 00:12:19.028 --> 00:12:20.563
  • Joseph woke up that morning in prison, thinking it was
  • 00:12:20.629 --> 00:12:22.198
  • In prison, thinking it was another ordinary day, but
  • 00:12:22.264 --> 00:12:23.966
  • Another ordinary day, but suddenly he was headed to the
  • 00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:25.434
  • Suddenly he was headed to the palace. you may be in a dry
  • 00:12:25.501 --> 00:12:28.003
  • Palace. you may be in a dry season, but god can quickly
  • 00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:30.172
  • Season, but god can quickly turn things around. thoughts
  • 00:12:30.239 --> 00:12:32.374
  • Turn things around. thoughts will tell you, “it will take
  • 00:12:32.441 --> 00:12:34.043
  • Will tell you, “it will take years to get out of this
  • 00:12:34.109 --> 00:12:35.044
  • Years to get out of this mess, years to get healthy,
  • 00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.680
  • Mess, years to get healthy, years to get out of debt,

  • Person,” no, one touch of god's favor, one good break,
  • 00:12:42.084 --> 00:12:44.053
  • God's favor, one good break, one phone call, one divine

  • Connection and suddenly things will change.
  • 00:12:47.523 --> 00:12:49.458
  • Things will change. joseph interpreted the
  • 00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:50.526
  • Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dream. he was so
  • 00:12:50.593 --> 00:12:52.228
  • Pharaoh's dream. he was so impressed, he made joseph the

  • Impressed, he made joseph the prime minister of egypt.
  • 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:56.432
  • Prime minister of egypt. notice how it happened,

  • Drought. then the excessive rain came, trouble, betrayal.
  • 00:13:05.875 --> 00:13:08.010
  • Rain came, trouble, betrayal. it was unfair but he just
  • 00:13:08.077 --> 00:13:09.979
