And i mean nothing, more powerful than
00:00:18.959 --> 00:00:20.260
More powerful than the word of god
00:00:20.327 --> 00:00:21.294
The word of god when we open it together,
00:00:21.361 --> 00:00:22.996
When we open it together, when we open our hearts
00:00:23.063 --> 00:00:23.797
When we open our hearts and our minds to receive it.
00:00:23.864 --> 00:00:25.232

I've got a very special project that we're going to be
00:00:32.072 --> 00:00:32.839
That we're going to be looking into this season,
00:00:32.906 --> 00:00:33.940
Looking into this season, and you're gonna wanna be

A part of it. let's get right
00:00:35.776 --> 00:00:36.176
Let's get right to the message.
00:00:36.243 --> 00:00:36.977
>> the world that we live in,
00:00:37.611 --> 00:00:42.516
>> the world that we live in, for the most part,
00:00:42.582 --> 00:00:43.183
For the most part, has been shaped
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:44.117
Has been shaped by people with dreams.
00:00:44.184 --> 00:00:47.187
By people with dreams. you could back at edison who had
00:00:47.254 --> 00:00:48.588
You could back at edison who had a dream to harness electricity.
00:00:48.655 --> 00:00:52.993
A dream to harness electricity. the wright brothers,
00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:54.094
The wright brothers, who had a dream of flying.
00:00:54.161 --> 00:00:56.630
Who had a dream of flying. and the bottom line is,
00:00:56.696 --> 00:00:58.398
And the bottom line is, dreams have changed
00:00:58.465 --> 00:00:59.833
Dreams have changed the world that we live in.
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:02.436
The world that we live in. and i believe that all dreams
00:01:02.502 --> 00:01:03.937
And i believe that all dreams that bless people,
00:01:04.004 --> 00:01:05.205
That bless people, that lift people,
00:01:05.272 --> 00:01:06.073
That lift people, whether the person
00:01:06.139 --> 00:01:06.706
Whether the person knows it or not,
00:01:06.773 --> 00:01:08.308
Knows it or not, is from god because god
00:01:08.375 --> 00:01:10.977
Is from god because god is the giver of dreams.
00:01:11.044 --> 00:01:13.447
Is the giver of dreams. if you were to go throughout
00:01:13.513 --> 00:01:14.314
If you were to go throughout time in history and look at it,
00:01:14.381 --> 00:01:17.350
Time in history and look at it, you could see that god
00:01:17.417 --> 00:01:18.985
You could see that god has been faithful through
00:01:19.052 --> 00:01:20.454
Has been faithful through every generation to give
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:22.556
Every generation to give his people a dream.
00:01:22.622 --> 00:01:25.425
His people a dream. so, if god's gonna
00:01:25.492 --> 00:01:26.026
So, if god's gonna change your life,
00:01:26.093 --> 00:01:27.060
Change your life, if he's gonna change a family,
00:01:27.127 --> 00:01:29.996
If he's gonna change a family, a church, a community,
00:01:30.063 --> 00:01:33.166
A church, a community, a nation, anything that
00:01:33.233 --> 00:01:35.168
A nation, anything that god's going to do in the earth,
00:01:35.235 --> 00:01:38.105
God's going to do in the earth, he starts by giving a dream.
00:01:38.171 --> 00:01:41.608
He starts by giving a dream. he places that dream
00:01:41.675 --> 00:01:42.609
He places that dream in a person's heart,
00:01:42.676 --> 00:01:43.510
In a person's heart, and if that person dares
00:01:43.577 --> 00:01:45.545
And if that person dares to have the courage,
00:01:45.612 --> 00:01:47.514
To have the courage, dares to not fear,
00:01:47.581 --> 00:01:49.716
Dares to not fear, dares to not be afraid
00:01:49.783 --> 00:01:52.519
Dares to not be afraid in the face of danger,
00:01:52.586 --> 00:01:53.787
In the face of danger, and threats, and risks,
00:01:53.854 --> 00:01:55.989
And threats, and risks, then that person is a person
00:01:56.056 --> 00:01:58.091
Then that person is a person god will use to fulfil
00:01:58.158 --> 00:02:00.861
God will use to fulfil his dreams.
00:02:00.927 --> 00:02:02.262
His dreams. in fact, i believe
00:02:02.329 --> 00:02:03.763
In fact, i believe you're never more like god
00:02:03.830 --> 00:02:05.532
You're never more like god than when you're dreaming.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.400
Than when you're dreaming. it is his nature to dream.
00:02:07.467 --> 00:02:09.769
It is his nature to dream. it is his nature to look at
00:02:09.836 --> 00:02:11.505
It is his nature to look at nothing and believe that
00:02:11.571 --> 00:02:13.473
Nothing and believe that it can be something,
00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:14.541
It can be something, to look at it and say,
00:02:14.608 --> 00:02:15.675
To look at it and say, "even though it is not,
00:02:15.742 --> 00:02:18.044
"even though it is not, it shall be."
00:02:18.111 --> 00:02:19.412
It shall be." it is --
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:19.946
It is -- that is the nature of god
00:02:20.013 --> 00:02:22.482
That is the nature of god and the nature of faith,
00:02:22.549 --> 00:02:23.717
And the nature of faith, by the way.
00:02:23.783 --> 00:02:25.318
By the way. so, we look at joseph here,
00:02:25.385 --> 00:02:27.420
So, we look at joseph here, and the bible says that
00:02:27.487 --> 00:02:28.522
And the bible says that his father left him
00:02:28.588 --> 00:02:29.789
His father left him more than his other sons,
00:02:29.856 --> 00:02:32.192
More than his other sons, and he illustrated that
00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:33.660
And he illustrated that by giving joseph
00:02:33.727 --> 00:02:34.728
By giving joseph the coat of many colors.
00:02:34.794 --> 00:02:36.997
The coat of many colors. many of us have heard this
00:02:37.063 --> 00:02:38.098
Many of us have heard this over and over again,
00:02:38.165 --> 00:02:39.933
Over and over again, but it's an outward sign
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.635
But it's an outward sign of favor and blessing.
00:02:41.701 --> 00:02:44.638
Of favor and blessing. this coat of many colors
00:02:44.704 --> 00:02:45.572
This coat of many colors caused him to stand out.
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.408
Caused him to stand out. it was bright.
00:02:48.475 --> 00:02:49.843
It was bright. it was a vibrant coat.
00:02:49.910 --> 00:02:53.113
It was a vibrant coat. it wasn't something that made
00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:55.315
It wasn't something that made joseph fit in the crowd.
00:02:55.382 --> 00:02:57.184
Joseph fit in the crowd. it wasn't beige or gray,
00:02:57.250 --> 00:03:00.153
It wasn't beige or gray, it was the opposite of that.
00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:01.488
It was the opposite of that. it was so bright that
00:03:01.555 --> 00:03:03.290
It was so bright that every time he showed up,
00:03:03.356 --> 00:03:04.758
Every time he showed up, anywhere joseph went,
00:03:04.824 --> 00:03:06.126
Anywhere joseph went, it was obvious that he was
00:03:06.193 --> 00:03:08.061
It was obvious that he was wrapped up in the favor
00:03:08.128 --> 00:03:10.230
Wrapped up in the favor and the blessing of his father.
00:03:10.297 --> 00:03:13.099
And the blessing of his father. i believe that god is still
00:03:13.166 --> 00:03:15.669
I believe that god is still wrapping his people in his favor
00:03:15.735 --> 00:03:18.872
Wrapping his people in his favor and his blessing.
00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:20.540
And his blessing. and god wants to give
00:03:20.607 --> 00:03:23.009
And god wants to give that to his people,
00:03:23.076 --> 00:03:24.644
That to his people, so when people see you
00:03:24.711 --> 00:03:26.046
So when people see you and they see that favor,
00:03:26.112 --> 00:03:28.248
And they see that favor, they know that the hand of god
00:03:28.315 --> 00:03:30.217
They know that the hand of god is on your life and they know
00:03:30.283 --> 00:03:31.618
Is on your life and they know that not only is it there,
00:03:31.685 --> 00:03:34.287
That not only is it there, but it's there
00:03:34.354 --> 00:03:34.988
But it's there for a greater purpose.
00:03:35.055 --> 00:03:38.525
For a greater purpose. so, joseph's walking around.
00:03:38.592 --> 00:03:39.793
So, joseph's walking around. he's got this loud, bright coat,
00:03:39.859 --> 00:03:42.529
He's got this loud, bright coat, purple, and orange, and green,
00:03:42.596 --> 00:03:44.464
Purple, and orange, and green, and blue, and red.
00:03:44.531 --> 00:03:45.632
And blue, and red. i mean, you name it, it's like
00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:46.833
I mean, you name it, it's like this psychedelic coat
00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:48.401
This psychedelic coat and everywhere he went,
00:03:48.468 --> 00:03:49.836
And everywhere he went, he stood out.
00:03:49.903 --> 00:03:51.238
He stood out. he couldn't hide it.
00:03:51.304 --> 00:03:52.205
He couldn't hide it. he couldn't conceal it.
00:03:52.272 --> 00:03:54.474
He couldn't conceal it. it's not like
00:03:54.541 --> 00:03:54.941
It's not like he was flaunting it.
00:03:55.008 --> 00:03:56.042
He was flaunting it. he wasn't bragging about it.
00:03:56.109 --> 00:03:58.211
He wasn't bragging about it. it was just evident that
00:03:58.278 --> 00:03:59.479
It was just evident that the favor and the blessing
00:03:59.546 --> 00:04:01.114
The favor and the blessing of god was on his life,
00:04:01.181 --> 00:04:02.582
Of god was on his life, but it was for a reason.
00:04:02.649 --> 00:04:05.118
But it was for a reason. and the bible says that
00:04:05.185 --> 00:04:08.054
And the bible says that the favor and the blessing
00:04:08.121 --> 00:04:09.856
The favor and the blessing was put on joseph's life,
00:04:09.923 --> 00:04:12.359
Was put on joseph's life, then after that
00:04:12.425 --> 00:04:14.694
Then after that he received a dream.
00:04:14.761 --> 00:04:17.364
He received a dream. so, the reason for the favor,
00:04:17.430 --> 00:04:20.533
So, the reason for the favor, the reason for the blessing
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.869
The reason for the blessing would lead to his dream.
00:04:22.936 --> 00:04:26.439
Would lead to his dream. so, his dream was not the favor
00:04:26.506 --> 00:04:28.808
So, his dream was not the favor and the blessing.
00:04:28.875 --> 00:04:29.442
And the blessing. a lot of people are saying,
00:04:29.509 --> 00:04:30.176
A lot of people are saying, "god, i just have a dream
00:04:30.243 --> 00:04:31.578
"god, i just have a dream to have favor
00:04:31.645 --> 00:04:32.746
To have favor and to be blessed."
00:04:32.812 --> 00:04:33.613
And to be blessed." but what's the purpose of it?
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.749
But what's the purpose of it? it's the opposite of that.
00:04:35.815 --> 00:04:37.617
It's the opposite of that. the favor and the blessing
00:04:37.684 --> 00:04:39.052
The favor and the blessing of god are to prepare you
00:04:39.119 --> 00:04:41.621
Of god are to prepare you for the dream.
00:04:41.688 --> 00:04:45.358
For the dream. the reason we ask god
00:04:45.425 --> 00:04:46.526
The reason we ask god for favor is not for our sake,
00:04:46.593 --> 00:04:49.296
For favor is not for our sake, it's because we know we need
00:04:49.362 --> 00:04:50.530
It's because we know we need favor to fulfil the dream
00:04:50.597 --> 00:04:52.832
Favor to fulfil the dream that he puts on our life.
00:04:52.899 --> 00:04:53.967
That he puts on our life. but notice, the dream was
00:04:54.034 --> 00:04:55.769
But notice, the dream was not a selfish dream.
00:04:55.835 --> 00:04:57.170
Not a selfish dream. the bible says
00:04:57.237 --> 00:04:57.871
The bible says he dreamed of the harvest.
00:04:57.937 --> 00:05:01.007
He dreamed of the harvest. he dreamed of this harvest
00:05:01.074 --> 00:05:02.575
He dreamed of this harvest bowing down.
00:05:02.642 --> 00:05:03.443
Bowing down. he dreamed of --
00:05:03.510 --> 00:05:05.845
He dreamed of -- to me, it speaks
00:05:05.912 --> 00:05:06.613
To me, it speaks of a lost world where
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.315
Of a lost world where every knee shall bow,
00:05:08.381 --> 00:05:10.317
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess.
00:05:10.383 --> 00:05:11.885
And every tongue shall confess. he had a dream that the harvest
00:05:11.951 --> 00:05:13.987
He had a dream that the harvest could be reached.
00:05:14.054 --> 00:05:15.055
Could be reached. he had a dream that
00:05:15.121 --> 00:05:16.222
He had a dream that the harvest could be reached.
00:05:16.289 --> 00:05:17.557
The harvest could be reached. and so, his goal was
00:05:17.624 --> 00:05:19.359
And so, his goal was attached to souls.
00:05:19.426 --> 00:05:20.927
Attached to souls. his dream represented souls.
00:05:20.994 --> 00:05:23.863
His dream represented souls. and every dream
00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:25.332
And every dream that god gives us,
00:05:25.398 --> 00:05:26.700
That god gives us, if we wanna know what will pass
00:05:26.766 --> 00:05:28.268
If we wanna know what will pass the sniff test with god is,
00:05:28.335 --> 00:05:30.036
The sniff test with god is, is that dream attached
00:05:30.103 --> 00:05:32.305
Is that dream attached to the harvest?
00:05:32.372 --> 00:05:35.075
To the harvest? "i want to be blessed," or,
00:05:35.141 --> 00:05:36.476
"i want to be blessed," or, "i want god to give me favor.
00:05:36.543 --> 00:05:37.811
"i want god to give me favor. i want god to do
00:05:37.877 --> 00:05:38.945
I want god to do this is my life,"
00:05:39.012 --> 00:05:39.813
This is my life," or, "i want god to do
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.047
Or, "i want god to do that in my," --
00:05:41.114 --> 00:05:41.815
That in my," -- okay, that's fine,
00:05:41.881 --> 00:05:43.016
Okay, that's fine, but it should be attached
00:05:43.083 --> 00:05:44.551
But it should be attached to more than just what you want.
00:05:44.617 --> 00:05:47.220
To more than just what you want. it should be attached
00:05:47.287 --> 00:05:47.987
It should be attached to the harvest
00:05:48.054 --> 00:05:49.522
To the harvest and to the winning of a lost
00:05:49.589 --> 00:05:51.257
And to the winning of a lost and dying world that needs
00:05:51.324 --> 00:05:54.361
And dying world that needs to be reached.
00:05:54.427 --> 00:05:55.161
[applause]
00:05:55.495 --> 00:05:56.162
When it comes to your family,
00:05:57.397 --> 00:05:58.865
When it comes to your family, when it comes to your
00:05:58.932 --> 00:05:59.566
When it comes to your future family, when it comes
00:05:59.632 --> 00:06:01.935
Future family, when it comes to your friends, your work,
00:06:02.001 --> 00:06:04.070
To your friends, your work, your career,
00:06:04.137 --> 00:06:06.806
Your career, your friends at school,
00:06:06.873 --> 00:06:08.174
Your friends at school, there should be a harvest dream.
00:06:08.241 --> 00:06:11.778
There should be a harvest dream. when i think about this church,
00:06:11.845 --> 00:06:13.446
When i think about this church, i think the only reason
00:06:13.513 --> 00:06:15.181
I think the only reason we should exist
00:06:15.248 --> 00:06:16.983
We should exist is because we have a dream
00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:19.185
Is because we have a dream and the dream is not crowds,
00:06:19.252 --> 00:06:22.122
And the dream is not crowds, the dream is not us coming
00:06:22.188 --> 00:06:23.723
The dream is not us coming and getting a fix every sunday.
00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:25.558
And getting a fix every sunday. the dream is not us
00:06:25.625 --> 00:06:26.826
The dream is not us coming and feeling better
00:06:26.893 --> 00:06:28.094
Coming and feeling better about ourselves.
00:06:28.161 --> 00:06:29.195
About ourselves. the dream is attached
00:06:29.262 --> 00:06:30.897
The dream is attached to the harvest,
00:06:30.964 --> 00:06:31.798
To the harvest, that there's some way, shape,
00:06:31.865 --> 00:06:33.600
That there's some way, shape, or form that everything
00:06:33.666 --> 00:06:35.201
Or form that everything we do simply
00:06:35.268 --> 00:06:36.936
We do simply leads to the reaping
00:06:37.003 --> 00:06:38.471
Leads to the reaping of the end time harvest.
00:06:38.538 --> 00:06:44.277
Of the end time harvest. you look up, you get your eyes
00:06:44.344 --> 00:06:47.080
You look up, you get your eyes off of you and you look
00:06:47.147 --> 00:06:48.982
Off of you and you look to the south, the north,
00:06:49.048 --> 00:06:50.183
To the south, the north, the east, and the west.
00:06:50.250 --> 00:06:52.552
The east, and the west. you look at the brokenness.
00:06:52.619 --> 00:06:53.686
You look at the brokenness. you look at how the enemy
00:06:53.753 --> 00:06:55.255
You look at how the enemy is wreaking havoc.
00:06:55.321 --> 00:06:56.156
Is wreaking havoc. you look at how the enemy
00:06:56.222 --> 00:06:58.024
You look at how the enemy is tearing lives apart.
00:06:58.091 --> 00:06:59.192
Is tearing lives apart. you look at all
00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:00.493
You look at all the brokenness in our world.
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.195
The brokenness in our world. and someone has to look
00:07:02.262 --> 00:07:04.197
And someone has to look around him and simply say,
00:07:04.264 --> 00:07:06.933
Around him and simply say, "god, will you give me a dream?
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.169
"god, will you give me a dream? will you give me your favor
00:07:09.235 --> 00:07:11.538
Will you give me your favor so i can be a part of going
00:07:11.604 --> 00:07:14.307
So i can be a part of going out into a broken world
00:07:14.374 --> 00:07:16.843
Out into a broken world and spoiling
00:07:16.910 --> 00:07:17.844
And spoiling the strongman's house?"
00:07:17.911 --> 00:07:19.012
The strongman's house?" and like joseph saying,
00:07:19.078 --> 00:07:20.313
And like joseph saying, "god, use my life to reap
00:07:20.380 --> 00:07:22.749
"god, use my life to reap a mighty harvest."
00:07:22.816 --> 00:07:25.518
A mighty harvest." so, joseph, the bible says,
00:07:25.585 --> 00:07:26.786
So, joseph, the bible says, has a harvest dream,
00:07:26.853 --> 00:07:29.589
Has a harvest dream, and he tells his brothers,
00:07:29.656 --> 00:07:31.024
And he tells his brothers, and they get mad or angry
00:07:31.090 --> 00:07:32.959
And they get mad or angry and the bible says they hated
00:07:33.026 --> 00:07:34.494
And the bible says they hated him because of the dream.
00:07:34.561 --> 00:07:37.530
Him because of the dream. and what i like about joseph
00:07:37.597 --> 00:07:40.033
And what i like about joseph is his brothers got mad
00:07:40.099 --> 00:07:41.501
Is his brothers got mad at him for the first dream,
00:07:41.568 --> 00:07:43.636
At him for the first dream, and the bible says he dreamed
00:07:43.703 --> 00:07:45.905
And the bible says he dreamed yet another dream.
00:07:45.972 --> 00:07:49.542
Yet another dream. so, they're already mad because
00:07:49.609 --> 00:07:52.745
So, they're already mad because he thinks he's a big deal
00:07:52.812 --> 00:07:55.415
He thinks he's a big deal because he's talking about
00:07:55.482 --> 00:07:56.516
Because he's talking about this harvest.
00:07:56.583 --> 00:07:58.885
This harvest. he doesn't back down.
00:07:58.952 --> 00:07:59.786
He doesn't back down. he doesn't apologize.
00:07:59.853 --> 00:08:01.788
He doesn't apologize. he don't care
00:08:01.855 --> 00:08:02.355
He don't care what their opinion is.
00:08:02.422 --> 00:08:04.324
What their opinion is. he just simply says,
00:08:04.390 --> 00:08:05.024
He just simply says, "oh, if you think
00:08:05.091 --> 00:08:05.925
"oh, if you think the first dream's special,
00:08:05.992 --> 00:08:07.760
The first dream's special, let me take a second and let you
00:08:07.827 --> 00:08:09.462
Let me take a second and let you know that the second dream
00:08:09.529 --> 00:08:10.997
Know that the second dream is bigger than the first dream.
00:08:11.064 --> 00:08:12.499
Is bigger than the first dream. and i saw the sun, the moon,
00:08:12.565 --> 00:08:14.267
And i saw the sun, the moon, and the stars bowing down."
00:08:14.334 --> 00:08:16.336
[applause]
00:08:16.636 --> 00:08:18.471
And this is the point,
00:08:19.072 --> 00:08:20.673
And this is the point, god's dreams are progressive.
00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:25.445
God's dreams are progressive. that's why you don't despise
00:08:25.512 --> 00:08:26.846
That's why you don't despise the days of small beginnings.
00:08:26.913 --> 00:08:28.381
The days of small beginnings. you have to recognize
00:08:28.448 --> 00:08:29.883
You have to recognize god's dream are progressive.
00:08:29.949 --> 00:08:32.685
God's dream are progressive. and if you've given up
00:08:32.752 --> 00:08:33.653
And if you've given up on the first dream,
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.588
On the first dream, more than likely you don't
00:08:35.655 --> 00:08:36.856
More than likely you don't progress to the second dream.
00:08:36.923 --> 00:08:39.325
Progress to the second dream. but a lot of people have
00:08:39.392 --> 00:08:41.794
But a lot of people have a problem with, "okay, yeah.
00:08:41.861 --> 00:08:43.863
A problem with, "okay, yeah. i had a dream for this
00:08:43.930 --> 00:08:45.365
I had a dream for this phase of my life
00:08:45.431 --> 00:08:46.566
Phase of my life and that dream's fulfilled.
00:08:46.633 --> 00:08:48.101
And that dream's fulfilled. now, i guess god's done
00:08:48.167 --> 00:08:49.702
Now, i guess god's done with me."
00:08:49.769 --> 00:08:51.237
With me." but that's not how god works.
00:08:51.304 --> 00:08:53.039
But that's not how god works. god is progressive.
00:08:53.106 --> 00:08:54.641
God is progressive. he's not just
00:08:54.707 --> 00:08:55.275
He's not just the giver of a dream,
00:08:55.341 --> 00:08:56.743
The giver of a dream, he is the giver of dreams.
00:08:56.809 --> 00:08:59.012
He is the giver of dreams. and so, if you believe
00:08:59.078 --> 00:09:00.513
And so, if you believe your best days are behind you,
00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:02.549
Your best days are behind you, you're missing the point.
00:09:02.615 --> 00:09:04.317
You're missing the point. the dream is not back there,
00:09:04.384 --> 00:09:06.686
The dream is not back there, the dream is still ahead of you
00:09:06.753 --> 00:09:08.922
The dream is still ahead of you not just personally,
00:09:08.988 --> 00:09:10.423
Not just personally, but as a church, the dream
00:09:10.490 --> 00:09:12.125
But as a church, the dream is not back there.
00:09:12.191 --> 00:09:14.027
Is not back there. the dream is in front of us
00:09:14.093 --> 00:09:15.728
The dream is in front of us and the future is greater
00:09:15.795 --> 00:09:17.430
And the future is greater than our past.
00:09:17.497 --> 00:09:20.366
Than our past. so, keep dreaming big dreams.
00:09:20.433 --> 00:09:22.435
So, keep dreaming big dreams. when people don't like you,
00:09:22.502 --> 00:09:23.536
When people don't like you, when people don't agree with it,
00:09:23.603 --> 00:09:25.038
When people don't agree with it, when people have a problem
00:09:25.104 --> 00:09:27.040
When people have a problem with your dreaming,
00:09:27.106 --> 00:09:27.874
With your dreaming, keep dreaming big dreams.
00:09:27.941 --> 00:09:30.376
Keep dreaming big dreams. that's who god is
00:09:30.443 --> 00:09:32.111
That's who god is and that's how he uses you.
00:09:32.178 --> 00:09:34.147
And that's how he uses you. that's how he blesses you.
00:09:34.213 --> 00:09:35.682
That's how he blesses you. he wants to give you
00:09:35.748 --> 00:09:37.250
He wants to give you a big dream.
00:09:37.317 --> 00:09:38.117
A big dream. our problem is we have,
00:09:38.184 --> 00:09:40.186
Our problem is we have, what i would call,
00:09:40.253 --> 00:09:41.054
What i would call, a skinny goat mentality.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.123
A skinny goat mentality. remember the story
00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:44.924
Remember the story of the prodigal son?
00:09:44.991 --> 00:09:46.659
Of the prodigal son? he comes home and what
00:09:46.726 --> 00:09:47.894
He comes home and what does the father do?
00:09:47.961 --> 00:09:48.561
Does the father do? the father kills
00:09:48.628 --> 00:09:50.563
The father kills the fatted calf,
00:09:50.630 --> 00:09:52.365
The fatted calf, and the elder brother looks
00:09:52.432 --> 00:09:54.334
And the elder brother looks at the father and says,
00:09:54.400 --> 00:09:55.435
At the father and says, "i don't understand why
00:09:55.501 --> 00:09:57.337
"i don't understand why you killed that fatted calf.
00:09:57.403 --> 00:09:59.205
You killed that fatted calf. did it really take all that?
00:09:59.272 --> 00:10:00.773
Did it really take all that? i mean, this big celebration.
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.575
I mean, this big celebration. i mean, did it really
00:10:02.642 --> 00:10:03.643
I mean, did it really take all this?
00:10:03.710 --> 00:10:04.544
Take all this? couldn't -- you've not even
00:10:04.611 --> 00:10:07.046
Couldn't -- you've not even killed a skinny goat for me,"
00:10:07.113 --> 00:10:08.815
Killed a skinny goat for me," is what he said.
00:10:08.881 --> 00:10:11.551
Is what he said. and notice,
00:10:11.618 --> 00:10:11.951
And notice, he feels like this --
00:10:12.018 --> 00:10:13.052
He feels like this -- all this fatted calf talk,
00:10:13.119 --> 00:10:14.721
All this fatted calf talk, all this more, the blessing,
00:10:14.787 --> 00:10:17.390
All this more, the blessing, favor, all that,
00:10:17.457 --> 00:10:18.358
Favor, all that, that's just over-the-top.
00:10:18.424 --> 00:10:21.561
That's just over-the-top. in other words,
00:10:21.628 --> 00:10:21.995
In other words, his critical spirit
00:10:22.061 --> 00:10:24.597
His critical spirit begin to say,
00:10:24.664 --> 00:10:25.465
Begin to say, "i don't think god wants you
00:10:25.531 --> 00:10:27.467
"i don't think god wants you to dream for more.
00:10:27.533 --> 00:10:28.768
To dream for more. i think we should be
00:10:28.835 --> 00:10:29.969
I think we should be talking about less."
00:10:30.036 --> 00:10:34.207
Talking about less." but i don't believe
00:10:34.273 --> 00:10:34.974
But i don't believe we serve a skinny goat god,
00:10:35.041 --> 00:10:37.777
We serve a skinny goat god, so we should not be
00:10:37.844 --> 00:10:38.778
So we should not be a skinny goat people.
00:10:38.845 --> 00:10:40.647
A skinny goat people. we should say,
00:10:40.713 --> 00:10:41.514
We should say, "god, trust us with more."
00:10:41.581 --> 00:10:43.483
"god, trust us with more." our father thinks
00:10:43.549 --> 00:10:44.717
Our father thinks about fatted calves.
00:10:44.784 --> 00:10:46.352
About fatted calves. he thinks about more,
00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:47.720
He thinks about more, more favor, more faith,
00:10:47.787 --> 00:10:50.857
More favor, more faith, more courage,
00:10:50.923 --> 00:10:52.325
More courage, more stamina for --
00:10:52.392 --> 00:10:54.260
More stamina for -- the bible says he dreamed
00:10:54.327 --> 00:10:56.062
The bible says he dreamed yet another dream.
00:10:56.129 --> 00:10:59.232
Yet another dream. so, he, the bible says,
00:10:59.298 --> 00:11:03.036
So, he, the bible says, is on his way
00:11:03.102 --> 00:11:03.870
Is on his way to see his brothers.
00:11:03.936 --> 00:11:06.839
To see his brothers. they're conspiring how they're
00:11:06.906 --> 00:11:08.307
They're conspiring how they're gonna deal with him.
00:11:08.374 --> 00:11:10.476
Gonna deal with him. they gonna kill him.
00:11:10.543 --> 00:11:11.077
They gonna kill him. they gonna throw him
00:11:11.144 --> 00:11:11.744
They gonna throw him in this pit.
00:11:11.811 --> 00:11:13.680
In this pit. and this is what they said.
00:11:13.746 --> 00:11:16.249
And this is what they said. "look, here comes the dreamer."
00:11:16.315 --> 00:11:21.487
"look, here comes the dreamer." not, "here comes joseph."
00:11:21.554 --> 00:11:25.091
Not, "here comes joseph." not, "here comes
00:11:25.158 --> 00:11:25.692
Not, "here comes our younger brother."
00:11:25.758 --> 00:11:27.660
Our younger brother." they didn't call him
00:11:27.727 --> 00:11:28.227
They didn't call him by his name,
00:11:28.294 --> 00:11:29.696
By his name, because you'll be known
00:11:29.762 --> 00:11:31.097
Because you'll be known by your dream more than
00:11:31.164 --> 00:11:32.765
By your dream more than your name.
00:11:32.832 --> 00:11:35.234
Your name. "here comes the dreamer."
00:11:35.301 --> 00:11:37.970
"here comes the dreamer." when joseph got there,
00:11:38.037 --> 00:11:39.906
When joseph got there, again, they wanna kill him.
00:11:39.972 --> 00:11:42.208
Again, they wanna kill him. and so, i just wanna
00:11:42.275 --> 00:11:43.910
And so, i just wanna just take a moment and if you
00:11:43.976 --> 00:11:45.111
Just take a moment and if you feel like you've got
00:11:45.178 --> 00:11:47.914
Feel like you've got a god given dream and maybe
00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:49.849
A god given dream and maybe you don't feel like the people
00:11:49.916 --> 00:11:51.217
You don't feel like the people that should support it
00:11:51.284 --> 00:11:52.018
That should support it are supporting it,
00:11:52.085 --> 00:11:54.587
Are supporting it, it actually speaks
00:11:54.654 --> 00:11:56.022
It actually speaks of the realness of the dream.
00:11:56.089 --> 00:11:58.758
Of the realness of the dream. right?
00:11:58.825 --> 00:11:59.192
Right? because people don't work
00:11:59.258 --> 00:12:00.059
Because people don't work against someone that they don't
00:12:00.126 --> 00:12:02.028
Against someone that they don't think can accomplish the dream.
00:12:02.095 --> 00:12:04.764
Think can accomplish the dream. have you ever noticed that?
00:12:04.831 --> 00:12:06.566
Have you ever noticed that? people attack people
00:12:06.632 --> 00:12:08.000
People attack people the most that actually have
00:12:08.067 --> 00:12:09.335
The most that actually have the potential of doing
00:12:09.402 --> 00:12:10.436
The potential of doing the things they're saying.
00:12:10.503 --> 00:12:12.638
The things they're saying. they don't attack the person
00:12:12.705 --> 00:12:14.373
They don't attack the person that isn't going anywhere.
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.745
That isn't going anywhere. so, they're attacking him
00:12:18.811 --> 00:12:20.379
So, they're attacking him because they're smart enough
00:12:20.446 --> 00:12:21.748
Because they're smart enough to know that dream will
00:12:21.814 --> 00:12:23.382
To know that dream will probably come to past,
00:12:23.449 --> 00:12:26.185
Probably come to past, but they're attacking him
00:12:26.252 --> 00:12:28.888
But they're attacking him also proves that
00:12:28.955 --> 00:12:30.123
Also proves that they're dumb enough to think
00:12:30.189 --> 00:12:32.558
They're dumb enough to think they can stop the dream.
00:12:32.625 --> 00:12:36.996
They can stop the dream. if you look back over
00:12:37.063 --> 00:12:38.765
If you look back over the course of any dream,
00:12:38.831 --> 00:12:40.767
The course of any dream, if you have
00:12:40.833 --> 00:12:41.367
If you have the courage to dream,
00:12:41.434 --> 00:12:43.402
The courage to dream, at every single stage,
00:12:43.469 --> 00:12:45.104
At every single stage, there were some --
00:12:45.171 --> 00:12:46.105
There were some -- at some point there were people
00:12:46.172 --> 00:12:48.107
At some point there were people that you can go back to
00:12:48.174 --> 00:12:50.209
That you can go back to that try to work against you
00:12:50.276 --> 00:12:52.178
That try to work against you and against the dream.
00:12:52.245 --> 00:12:55.815
And against the dream. and the only way you get
00:12:55.882 --> 00:12:57.483
And the only way you get to the fulfillment of a dream
00:12:57.550 --> 00:12:59.886
To the fulfillment of a dream is if you learn that man's,
00:12:59.952 --> 00:13:01.888
Is if you learn that man's, "no," does not compete
00:13:01.954 --> 00:13:03.356
"no," does not compete with god's, "yes."
00:13:03.422 --> 00:13:05.625
With god's, "yes." you learn that hell cannot
00:13:05.691 --> 00:13:07.860
You learn that hell cannot abort a god given dream that
00:13:07.927 --> 00:13:11.364
Abort a god given dream that heaven has given you.
00:13:11.430 --> 00:13:14.133
Heaven has given you. and so, you make
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:15.067
And so, you make the decision to say,
00:13:15.134 --> 00:13:15.735
The decision to say, "you know what,
00:13:15.802 --> 00:13:16.636
"you know what, i love people but," --
00:13:16.702 --> 00:13:18.938
I love people but," -- so, what if they
00:13:19.005 --> 00:13:19.806
So, what if they don't believe?
00:13:19.872 --> 00:13:22.175
Don't believe? so, what if they walk away?
00:13:22.241 --> 00:13:24.143
So, what if they walk away? so, what if they exit your life?
00:13:24.210 --> 00:13:26.012
So, what if they exit your life? so, what if they say god's not
00:13:26.078 --> 00:13:27.346
So, what if they say god's not in this or in that?
00:13:27.413 --> 00:13:28.881
In this or in that? you have to pass
00:13:28.948 --> 00:13:30.216
You have to pass the people test.
00:13:30.283 --> 00:13:31.851
The people test. before the dream comes to pass,
00:13:31.918 --> 00:13:34.420
Before the dream comes to pass, you make the decision,
00:13:34.487 --> 00:13:35.755
You make the decision, "am i going to live
00:13:35.822 --> 00:13:36.556
"am i going to live for people or am i
00:13:36.622 --> 00:13:37.824
For people or am i going to live --
00:13:37.890 --> 00:13:38.691
Going to live -- if the dream is from god,
00:13:38.758 --> 00:13:40.092
If the dream is from god, am i going to live for
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.460
Am i going to live for that dream?
00:13:41.527 --> 00:13:42.528
That dream? because in the end,
00:13:42.595 --> 00:13:43.930
Because in the end, living for that
00:13:43.996 --> 00:13:44.831
Living for that is how i honor the one
00:13:44.897 --> 00:13:46.766
Is how i honor the one who gave me the dream.
00:13:46.833 --> 00:13:48.201
Who gave me the dream. the dream is not for me.
00:13:48.267 --> 00:13:50.436
The dream is not for me. it is for him
00:13:50.503 --> 00:13:51.971
It is for him and for his glory."
00:13:52.038 --> 00:13:52.972
[applause]
00:13:53.306 --> 00:13:57.743
So, quickly,
00:13:58.311 --> 00:13:58.945
So, quickly, they throw him in a pit.
00:13:59.011 --> 00:13:59.979
They throw him in a pit. his coat's gone.
00:14:00.046 --> 00:14:01.447
His coat's gone. he's bought as a slave.
00:14:01.514 --> 00:14:02.715
He's bought as a slave. he goes to egypt.
00:14:02.782 --> 00:14:03.816
He goes to egypt. he's accused of rape.
00:14:03.883 --> 00:14:05.084
He's accused of rape. now, he's thrown in prison,
00:14:05.151 --> 00:14:07.820
Now, he's thrown in prison, waking up every day
00:14:07.887 --> 00:14:09.488
Waking up every day in a jail cell.
00:14:09.555 --> 00:14:11.824
In a jail cell. "this don't look like
00:14:11.891 --> 00:14:12.859
"this don't look like that harvest bowing down.
00:14:12.925 --> 00:14:15.828
That harvest bowing down. this don't look like
00:14:15.895 --> 00:14:16.495
This don't look like the sun, the moon.
00:14:16.562 --> 00:14:17.296
The sun, the moon. i can't even see the sun,
00:14:17.363 --> 00:14:18.397
I can't even see the sun, the moon, the stars.
00:14:18.464 --> 00:14:19.532
The moon, the stars. i can't see the sky.
00:14:19.599 --> 00:14:20.533
I can't see the sky. all i see is a concrete ceiling
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.468
All i see is a concrete ceiling and some bars every single day.
00:14:22.535 --> 00:14:27.440
And some bars every single day. god didn't show me this when he
00:14:27.506 --> 00:14:28.608
God didn't show me this when he talked to me about the dream.
00:14:28.674 --> 00:14:32.044
Talked to me about the dream. god didn't talk to me about this
00:14:32.111 --> 00:14:33.179
God didn't talk to me about this when he said he wanted to do
00:14:33.246 --> 00:14:34.947
When he said he wanted to do something great in my life.
00:14:35.014 --> 00:14:37.183
Something great in my life. so, where's the dream?
00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:43.356
So, where's the dream? this is the opposite
00:14:43.422 --> 00:14:44.924
This is the opposite of the dream.
00:14:44.991 --> 00:14:47.026
Of the dream. everything that the dream was,
00:14:47.093 --> 00:14:48.461
Everything that the dream was, this is not.
00:14:48.527 --> 00:14:50.529
This is not. so, is the dream from god?
00:14:50.596 --> 00:14:52.465
So, is the dream from god? not from god?
00:14:52.531 --> 00:14:53.299
Not from god? is --
00:14:53.366 --> 00:14:53.866
Is -- did god give me that dream?
00:14:53.933 --> 00:14:55.134
Did god give me that dream? did he not give me that dream?
00:14:55.201 --> 00:14:56.736
Did he not give me that dream? why is it that when
00:14:56.802 --> 00:14:57.703
Why is it that when i look at my life,
00:14:57.770 --> 00:14:58.804
I look at my life, god didn't tell me
00:14:58.871 --> 00:15:00.106
God didn't tell me about this place?
00:15:00.172 --> 00:15:02.174
About this place? he didn't tell me
00:15:02.241 --> 00:15:02.909
He didn't tell me about this environment.
00:15:02.975 --> 00:15:04.377
About this environment. he didn't tell me about
00:15:04.443 --> 00:15:05.745
He didn't tell me about this season of my life.
00:15:05.811 --> 00:15:07.480
This season of my life. he didn't tell me that
00:15:07.546 --> 00:15:08.881
He didn't tell me that i would go through this."
00:15:08.948 --> 00:15:10.349
I would go through this." because part of the process
00:15:10.416 --> 00:15:11.918
Because part of the process of any dream is there are times
00:15:11.984 --> 00:15:14.186
Of any dream is there are times when you look around,
00:15:14.253 --> 00:15:15.955
When you look around, everything looks
00:15:16.022 --> 00:15:17.490
Everything looks the opposite of what god spoke
00:15:17.556 --> 00:15:19.358
The opposite of what god spoke to you that set you out
00:15:19.425 --> 00:15:21.494
To you that set you out on the path of fulfilling
00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:22.762
On the path of fulfilling that dream in the first place.
00:15:22.828 --> 00:15:27.566
That dream in the first place. so, there in prison,
00:15:27.633 --> 00:15:30.770
So, there in prison, everything looks
00:15:30.836 --> 00:15:31.804
Everything looks the opposite of the dream.
00:15:31.871 --> 00:15:33.005
The opposite of the dream. the butler and the baker
00:15:33.072 --> 00:15:35.174
The butler and the baker come to joseph,
00:15:35.241 --> 00:15:36.742
Come to joseph, and they start talking to him
00:15:36.809 --> 00:15:38.210
And they start talking to him about their dream,
00:15:38.277 --> 00:15:39.645
About their dream, but they don't know how
00:15:39.712 --> 00:15:40.646
But they don't know how to interpret their dream.
00:15:40.713 --> 00:15:41.681
To interpret their dream. they don't know how to make
00:15:41.747 --> 00:15:42.615
They don't know how to make sense of what god's putting on
00:15:42.682 --> 00:15:44.417
Sense of what god's putting on the inside of them.
00:15:44.483 --> 00:15:45.151
The inside of them. so, joseph goes, and he prays,
00:15:45.217 --> 00:15:47.253
So, joseph goes, and he prays, and he helps them
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.187
And he helps them interpret their dream.
00:15:48.254 --> 00:15:50.756
Interpret their dream. so, notice, if you are
00:15:50.823 --> 00:15:53.025
So, notice, if you are trying to figure out
00:15:53.092 --> 00:15:54.026
Trying to figure out how to interpret the dream,
00:15:54.093 --> 00:15:57.763
How to interpret the dream, understand the dream,
00:15:57.830 --> 00:15:59.198
Understand the dream, "how do i take this passion
00:15:59.265 --> 00:16:00.633
"how do i take this passion and make it come out in
00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:02.168
And make it come out in real life and actually work?
00:16:02.234 --> 00:16:04.070
Real life and actually work? how do i do that?"
00:16:04.136 --> 00:16:05.604
How do i do that?" an important thing is
00:16:05.671 --> 00:16:07.006
An important thing is to acquaint yourself
00:16:07.073 --> 00:16:09.542
To acquaint yourself with other dreamers.
00:16:09.608 --> 00:16:12.011
With other dreamers. acquaint yourself
00:16:12.078 --> 00:16:13.212
Acquaint yourself with people that have
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.180
With people that have fulfilled their dreams,
00:16:14.246 --> 00:16:16.082
Fulfilled their dreams, that are walking out
00:16:16.148 --> 00:16:17.283
That are walking out their dreams.
00:16:17.350 --> 00:16:18.250
Their dreams. the worst thing you can do
00:16:18.317 --> 00:16:19.986
The worst thing you can do if god's given you a dream
00:16:20.052 --> 00:16:21.587
If god's given you a dream is keep hanging out
00:16:21.654 --> 00:16:22.822
Is keep hanging out with dreamless people.
00:16:22.888 --> 00:16:25.958
With dreamless people. and so, joseph prayed about it.
00:16:26.025 --> 00:16:27.760
And so, joseph prayed about it. he interpreted the dream.
00:16:27.827 --> 00:16:29.662
He interpreted the dream. i love this.
00:16:29.729 --> 00:16:31.030
I love this. he's in a place in his life
00:16:31.097 --> 00:16:32.965
He's in a place in his life that his dream's not happening.
00:16:33.032 --> 00:16:36.802
That his dream's not happening. it actually looks like his dream
00:16:36.869 --> 00:16:38.337
It actually looks like his dream will never happen.
00:16:38.404 --> 00:16:40.406
Will never happen. it looks like whatever that
00:16:40.473 --> 00:16:42.141
It looks like whatever that dream was, was some naive,
00:16:42.208 --> 00:16:43.976
Dream was, was some naive, childish dream.
00:16:44.043 --> 00:16:45.411
Childish dream. that's gone forever.
00:16:45.478 --> 00:16:47.513
That's gone forever. he's in prison, but watch it.
00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:51.617
He's in prison, but watch it. he helps other people with
00:16:51.684 --> 00:16:53.419
He helps other people with their dream in that place.
00:16:53.486 --> 00:16:56.589
Their dream in that place. so, sometimes you may look
00:16:56.655 --> 00:16:58.891
So, sometimes you may look around and you may be saying,
00:16:58.958 --> 00:17:00.059
Around and you may be saying, "god, i don't think the dream
00:17:00.126 --> 00:17:01.927
"god, i don't think the dream you gave me is happening,
00:17:01.994 --> 00:17:05.564
You gave me is happening, but that doesn't give me
00:17:05.631 --> 00:17:07.099
But that doesn't give me the right to give up
00:17:07.166 --> 00:17:10.136
The right to give up on helping other people
00:17:10.202 --> 00:17:12.304
On helping other people with their dream."
00:17:12.371 --> 00:17:13.672
With their dream." and sometimes,
00:17:13.739 --> 00:17:14.607
And sometimes, god is looking at how you
00:17:14.673 --> 00:17:17.209
God is looking at how you act when your dream is not
00:17:17.276 --> 00:17:19.378
Act when your dream is not looking the way it should,
00:17:19.445 --> 00:17:20.546
Looking the way it should, wondering, "can i trust you
00:17:20.613 --> 00:17:23.082
Wondering, "can i trust you to help somebody else
00:17:23.149 --> 00:17:24.750
To help somebody else in their dream even though
00:17:24.817 --> 00:17:26.318
In their dream even though it looks like your dream
00:17:26.385 --> 00:17:27.820
It looks like your dream may never happen?"
00:17:27.887 --> 00:17:32.391
May never happen?" and so, he interprets the dream.
00:17:32.458 --> 00:17:33.526
And so, he interprets the dream. he says, "i have good news.
00:17:33.592 --> 00:17:34.627
He says, "i have good news. i've got bad news."
00:17:34.693 --> 00:17:36.295
I've got bad news." to the butler,
00:17:36.362 --> 00:17:36.829
To the butler, "good news is in three days
00:17:36.896 --> 00:17:38.164
"good news is in three days you'll be restored
00:17:38.230 --> 00:17:38.931
You'll be restored to the kingdom.
00:17:38.998 --> 00:17:40.132
To the kingdom. you're gonna be at
00:17:40.199 --> 00:17:40.666
You're gonna be at the right hand of pharaoh."
00:17:40.733 --> 00:17:42.301
The right hand of pharaoh." to the baker, "i got bad news.
00:17:42.368 --> 00:17:43.569
To the baker, "i got bad news. in three days, you're gonna
00:17:43.636 --> 00:17:44.670
In three days, you're gonna end up facing a guillotine
00:17:44.737 --> 00:17:46.505
End up facing a guillotine and it's over for you."
00:17:46.572 --> 00:17:49.008
And it's over for you." he spends no more time
00:17:49.075 --> 00:17:50.142
He spends no more time talking to the baker.
00:17:50.209 --> 00:17:53.379
Talking to the baker. he has no future.
00:17:53.446 --> 00:17:55.648
He has no future. he's wasting no time with him.
00:17:55.714 --> 00:17:58.317
He's wasting no time with him. so, when there's no future,
00:17:58.384 --> 00:18:00.920
So, when there's no future, you don't have to be mean
00:18:00.986 --> 00:18:01.687
You don't have to be mean or rude about it,
00:18:01.754 --> 00:18:03.589
Or rude about it, but why you wasting time
00:18:03.656 --> 00:18:05.091
But why you wasting time when there's no future
00:18:05.157 --> 00:18:07.126
When there's no future in that relationship?
00:18:07.193 --> 00:18:08.260
[applause]
00:18:08.694 --> 00:18:12.398
There's people that
00:18:13.866 --> 00:18:14.467
There's people that are a part of your future,
00:18:14.533 --> 00:18:16.902
Are a part of your future, but you're giving so much time
00:18:16.969 --> 00:18:18.304
But you're giving so much time to the people that are not
00:18:18.370 --> 00:18:20.673
To the people that are not a part of your future.
00:18:20.739 --> 00:18:22.074
A part of your future. you're giving so much affection
00:18:22.141 --> 00:18:23.676
You're giving so much affection and attention to all the people
00:18:23.742 --> 00:18:25.678
And attention to all the people that they've already decided
00:18:25.744 --> 00:18:27.146
That they've already decided they're not gonna be
00:18:27.213 --> 00:18:28.013
They're not gonna be a part of your tomorrow.
00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:29.782
A part of your tomorrow. they're not going to be
00:18:29.849 --> 00:18:30.449
They're not going to be a part of your --
00:18:30.516 --> 00:18:32.418
A part of your -- you're missing that
00:18:32.485 --> 00:18:33.419
You're missing that right in front of you
00:18:33.486 --> 00:18:34.320
Right in front of you there's somebody else.
00:18:34.386 --> 00:18:35.721
There's somebody else. so, joseph says,
00:18:35.788 --> 00:18:36.589
So, joseph says, "okay, i'm understanding this.
00:18:36.655 --> 00:18:38.591
"okay, i'm understanding this. no future there, future here."
00:18:38.657 --> 00:18:40.960
No future there, future here." so, he looks at
00:18:41.026 --> 00:18:43.329
So, he looks at the butler and he says,
00:18:43.395 --> 00:18:44.697
The butler and he says, "will you remember me?
00:18:44.763 --> 00:18:48.000
"will you remember me? someday god's gonna elevate you.
00:18:48.067 --> 00:18:50.002
Someday god's gonna elevate you. he's gonna put you at
00:18:50.069 --> 00:18:50.870
He's gonna put you at the right hand of pharaoh,
00:18:50.936 --> 00:18:52.104
The right hand of pharaoh, and when you're there,
00:18:52.171 --> 00:18:53.172
And when you're there, will you not forget about me?
00:18:53.239 --> 00:18:54.740
Will you not forget about me? will you remember that we had
00:18:54.807 --> 00:18:56.909
Will you remember that we had this time where i helped you
00:18:56.976 --> 00:18:58.978
This time where i helped you with this dream?"
00:18:59.044 --> 00:19:00.146
With this dream?" but you know,
00:19:00.212 --> 00:19:00.513
But you know, the bible actually says
00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.981
The bible actually says that god took the butler
00:19:02.047 --> 00:19:02.948
That god took the butler out of prison,
00:19:03.015 --> 00:19:04.016
Out of prison, put him at the right hand
00:19:04.083 --> 00:19:05.217
Put him at the right hand of pharaoh,
00:19:05.284 --> 00:19:06.218
Of pharaoh, and that the butler
00:19:06.285 --> 00:19:07.386
And that the butler remembered joseph no more,
00:19:07.453 --> 00:19:10.055
Remembered joseph no more, that the butler forgot him.
00:19:10.122 --> 00:19:12.925
That the butler forgot him. the reason he's where he's at
00:19:12.992 --> 00:19:14.693
The reason he's where he's at is because joseph helped him
00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:16.228
Is because joseph helped him interpret the dream.
00:19:16.295 --> 00:19:17.630
Interpret the dream. now, he's out there
00:19:17.696 --> 00:19:18.931
Now, he's out there living the life.
00:19:18.998 --> 00:19:19.832
Living the life. he's enjoying life.
00:19:19.899 --> 00:19:22.668
He's enjoying life. he's in the palace.
00:19:22.735 --> 00:19:24.236
He's in the palace. everything's working out
00:19:24.303 --> 00:19:25.437
Everything's working out for him, and he's forgot
00:19:25.504 --> 00:19:27.873
For him, and he's forgot what it was like
00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:29.708
What it was like to be in the prison.
00:19:29.775 --> 00:19:33.245
To be in the prison. i think one of my favorite
00:19:33.312 --> 00:19:35.014
I think one of my favorite things about the process
00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:36.482
Things about the process of a dream,
00:19:36.549 --> 00:19:37.616
Of a dream, because i hate it so much,
00:19:37.683 --> 00:19:39.852
Because i hate it so much, is that feeling
00:19:39.919 --> 00:19:40.653
Is that feeling of being forgotten.
00:19:40.719 --> 00:19:43.322
Of being forgotten. the feeling of like,
00:19:43.389 --> 00:19:45.958
The feeling of like, "but i thought you promised.
00:19:46.025 --> 00:19:47.893
"but i thought you promised. i thought you said --
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.894
I thought you said -- i thought you made
00:19:48.961 --> 00:19:51.330
I thought you made that commitment.
00:19:51.397 --> 00:19:52.064
That commitment. i thought you said
00:19:52.131 --> 00:19:53.399
I thought you said you'd be there for me.
00:19:53.465 --> 00:19:54.366
You'd be there for me. i thought you said that
00:19:54.433 --> 00:19:56.402
I thought you said that if i helped you go,
00:19:56.468 --> 00:19:57.469
If i helped you go, then you'd help me go."
00:19:57.536 --> 00:19:58.537
Then you'd help me go." and all the sudden,
00:19:58.604 --> 00:19:59.939
And all the sudden, isn't it amazing how quickly
00:20:00.005 --> 00:20:00.973
Isn't it amazing how quickly people forget?
00:20:01.040 --> 00:20:02.841
People forget? so, joseph probably telling all
00:20:02.908 --> 00:20:05.878
So, joseph probably telling all the other prisoners,
00:20:05.945 --> 00:20:06.579
The other prisoners, "i'm getting out.
00:20:06.645 --> 00:20:08.113
"i'm getting out. i'm getting out.
00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:08.581
I'm getting out. things are changing for me.
00:20:08.647 --> 00:20:11.016
Things are changing for me. me and the butler are like this.
00:20:11.083 --> 00:20:12.218
Me and the butler are like this. i mean, we're just --
00:20:12.284 --> 00:20:13.018
I mean, we're just -- we're close.
00:20:13.085 --> 00:20:13.652
We're close. and now, he's hanging out
00:20:13.719 --> 00:20:14.453
And now, he's hanging out with pharaoh.
00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:14.987
With pharaoh. he's gonna make sure
00:20:15.054 --> 00:20:15.921
He's gonna make sure that i'm not here no more."
00:20:15.988 --> 00:20:19.258
That i'm not here no more." month went by, two month,
00:20:19.325 --> 00:20:20.793
Month went by, two month, who knows how much time
00:20:20.859 --> 00:20:21.527
Who knows how much time went by, and they forgot
00:20:21.594 --> 00:20:24.463
Went by, and they forgot about joseph.
00:20:24.530 --> 00:20:25.531
About joseph. they remembered him no more.
00:20:25.598 --> 00:20:29.501
They remembered him no more. the butler is hanging out
00:20:29.568 --> 00:20:31.704
The butler is hanging out with the pharaoh,
00:20:31.770 --> 00:20:33.772
With the pharaoh, and the pharaoh has
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.440
And the pharaoh has a dream and he doesn't
00:20:34.506 --> 00:20:36.375
A dream and he doesn't understand the dream.
00:20:36.442 --> 00:20:38.677
Understand the dream. he doesn't know
00:20:38.744 --> 00:20:39.345
He doesn't know how to interpret it.
00:20:39.411 --> 00:20:40.045
How to interpret it. he doesn't know
00:20:40.112 --> 00:20:41.013
He doesn't know it's of seven fat cows
00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:42.348
It's of seven fat cows and seven skinny cows,
00:20:42.414 --> 00:20:43.449
And seven skinny cows, and the seven fat cows
00:20:43.515 --> 00:20:44.483
And the seven fat cows swallow the seven skinny cows.
00:20:44.550 --> 00:20:47.653
Swallow the seven skinny cows. and the butler, the bible says,
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.021
And the butler, the bible says, remembers joseph.
00:20:49.088 --> 00:20:52.424
Remembers joseph. so, he goes down
00:20:52.491 --> 00:20:53.225
So, he goes down to the prison and says,
00:20:53.292 --> 00:20:54.126
To the prison and says, "hey, joseph, remember how you
00:20:54.193 --> 00:20:55.861
"hey, joseph, remember how you helped me with my dream?
00:20:55.928 --> 00:20:59.965
Helped me with my dream? do you remember?"
00:21:00.032 --> 00:21:01.033
Do you remember?" and joseph's like,
00:21:01.100 --> 00:21:01.734
And joseph's like, "yeah, i remember."
00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:03.335
[laughter]
00:21:04.003 --> 00:21:05.371
"i remember that the reason
00:21:05.738 --> 00:21:08.140
"i remember that the reason that you're where you're at
00:21:08.207 --> 00:21:09.108
That you're where you're at is because i helped you
00:21:09.174 --> 00:21:10.109
Is because i helped you with your dream.
00:21:10.175 --> 00:21:11.977
With your dream. and i remember that you
00:21:12.044 --> 00:21:14.079
And i remember that you said you would remember me,
00:21:14.146 --> 00:21:16.782
Said you would remember me, but you forgot about me.
00:21:16.849 --> 00:21:19.018
But you forgot about me. he's like, i know, i know,
00:21:19.084 --> 00:21:19.885
He's like, i know, i know, i know, i know, but hey,
00:21:19.952 --> 00:21:20.986
I know, i know, but hey, this pharaoh, he's got a dream,
00:21:21.053 --> 00:21:22.588
This pharaoh, he's got a dream, and i need your help
00:21:22.655 --> 00:21:24.056
And i need your help to interpret him with
00:21:24.123 --> 00:21:24.790
To interpret him with his dream."
00:21:24.857 --> 00:21:25.457
His dream." notice, joseph's not offended.
00:21:25.524 --> 00:21:28.193
Notice, joseph's not offended. he's not, "nope,
00:21:28.260 --> 00:21:32.131
He's not, "nope, you forgot about me."
00:21:32.197 --> 00:21:35.367
You forgot about me." he's like, "sure.
00:21:35.434 --> 00:21:35.868
He's like, "sure. what's the dream?"
00:21:35.934 --> 00:21:37.670
What's the dream?" he tells him the dream.
00:21:37.736 --> 00:21:39.738
He tells him the dream. he prays about it.
00:21:39.805 --> 00:21:41.073
He prays about it. he interprets it,
00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:42.808
He interprets it, and he says, "the seven fat cows
00:21:42.875 --> 00:21:44.810
And he says, "the seven fat cows are seven years of plenty.
00:21:44.877 --> 00:21:47.646
Are seven years of plenty. the seven skinny cows
00:21:47.713 --> 00:21:48.814
The seven skinny cows are seven years of famine.
00:21:48.881 --> 00:21:51.917
Are seven years of famine. and the seven fat cows
00:21:51.984 --> 00:21:53.419
And the seven fat cows are going to swallow
00:21:53.485 --> 00:21:54.953
Are going to swallow the seven skinny cows."
00:21:55.020 --> 00:21:56.822
The seven skinny cows." in other words,
00:21:56.889 --> 00:21:58.057
In other words, "you better get ready
00:21:58.123 --> 00:21:58.924
"you better get ready over the next seven years
00:21:58.991 --> 00:22:00.859
Over the next seven years for a famine that's coming.
00:22:00.926 --> 00:22:02.561
For a famine that's coming. if you don't get ready
00:22:02.628 --> 00:22:04.129
If you don't get ready in time of plenty,
00:22:04.196 --> 00:22:06.131
In time of plenty, you won't make it through
00:22:06.198 --> 00:22:07.199
You won't make it through the time of famine."
00:22:07.266 --> 00:22:10.869
The time of famine." they're worried,
00:22:10.936 --> 00:22:13.272
They're worried, they're afraid,
00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:15.240
They're afraid, but joseph is realizing
00:22:15.307 --> 00:22:17.509
But joseph is realizing that the dream he had way back
00:22:17.576 --> 00:22:19.411
That the dream he had way back here of the harvest,
00:22:19.478 --> 00:22:22.181
Here of the harvest, that harvest dream
00:22:22.247 --> 00:22:23.749
That harvest dream was not for a world
00:22:23.816 --> 00:22:25.351
Was not for a world that was at peace.
00:22:25.417 --> 00:22:27.319
That was at peace. it was not for a world that
00:22:27.386 --> 00:22:28.854
It was not for a world that everything was going well.
00:22:28.921 --> 00:22:31.023
Everything was going well. the dream was only gonna
00:22:31.090 --> 00:22:33.092
The dream was only gonna happen when the world was
00:22:33.158 --> 00:22:35.294
Happen when the world was in some type of crisis.
00:22:35.361 --> 00:22:37.463
In some type of crisis. because joseph understands that,
00:22:37.529 --> 00:22:39.965
Because joseph understands that, really, the last day harvest
00:22:40.032 --> 00:22:41.967
Really, the last day harvest doesn't come because
00:22:42.034 --> 00:22:43.702
Doesn't come because everybody's doing good.
00:22:43.769 --> 00:22:45.270
Everybody's doing good. it's when the world and all
00:22:45.337 --> 00:22:47.106
It's when the world and all the things that people trust in
00:22:47.172 --> 00:22:49.274
The things that people trust in begin to break down and they
00:22:49.341 --> 00:22:51.410
Begin to break down and they begin to lose that pride,
00:22:51.477 --> 00:22:52.778
Begin to lose that pride, and that arrogance,
00:22:52.845 --> 00:22:53.879
And that arrogance, and that ego.
00:22:53.946 --> 00:22:54.813
And that ego. and all of a sudden,
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:55.681
And all of a sudden, they look around and they think,
00:22:55.748 --> 00:22:56.648
They look around and they think, "man, i'm just a human being.
00:22:56.715 --> 00:22:57.950
"man, i'm just a human being. i'm just a little spec of dust.
00:22:58.016 --> 00:22:59.618
I'm just a little spec of dust. i'm nobody special."
00:22:59.685 --> 00:23:00.886
I'm nobody special." that's right.
00:23:00.953 --> 00:23:01.553
That's right. that's exactly who you are.
00:23:01.620 --> 00:23:02.755
That's exactly who you are. and it's in those times of chaos
00:23:02.821 --> 00:23:05.758
And it's in those times of chaos and crisis that people
00:23:05.824 --> 00:23:08.394
And crisis that people become open to god.
00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:10.396
Become open to god. and joseph realized,
00:23:10.462 --> 00:23:11.663
And joseph realized, "my dream is for a world
00:23:11.730 --> 00:23:14.400
"my dream is for a world that's in crisis."
00:23:14.466 --> 00:23:15.734
That's in crisis." whatever dream
00:23:15.801 --> 00:23:16.769
Whatever dream that god gives you,
00:23:16.835 --> 00:23:17.770
That god gives you, don't let it go because
00:23:17.836 --> 00:23:19.271
Don't let it go because the world is fluctuating.
00:23:19.338 --> 00:23:21.807
The world is fluctuating. a lot of people just --
00:23:21.874 --> 00:23:22.741
A lot of people just -- they think why --
00:23:22.808 --> 00:23:23.876
They think why -- "the dream was good
00:23:23.942 --> 00:23:24.877
"the dream was good because the world was good.
00:23:24.943 --> 00:23:27.646
Because the world was good. i could believe god for
00:23:27.713 --> 00:23:29.047
I could believe god for great things because it looked
00:23:29.114 --> 00:23:30.349
Great things because it looked great out in the world."
00:23:30.416 --> 00:23:31.683
Great out in the world." and then, if it looks like
00:23:31.750 --> 00:23:32.718
And then, if it looks like the world's shaky, they freeze.
00:23:32.785 --> 00:23:36.121
The world's shaky, they freeze. but if the dream is from god,
00:23:36.188 --> 00:23:37.723
But if the dream is from god, you move forward.
00:23:37.790 --> 00:23:39.391
You move forward. it does not matter
00:23:39.458 --> 00:23:40.025
It does not matter how shaky the world is because
00:23:40.092 --> 00:23:42.127
How shaky the world is because in that process again,
00:23:42.194 --> 00:23:44.296
In that process again, god will use the dreamers
00:23:44.363 --> 00:23:46.832
God will use the dreamers to reap a harvest in a world
00:23:46.899 --> 00:23:50.002
To reap a harvest in a world that's going crazy.
00:23:50.068 --> 00:23:51.036
[applause]
00:23:51.336 --> 00:23:55.641
>> hey, i'm hoping that
00:23:56.041 --> 00:23:56.809
>> hey, i'm hoping that that message spoke to you
00:23:56.875 --> 00:23:57.843
That message spoke to you in a very special
00:23:57.910 --> 00:23:59.178
In a very special and personal way.
00:23:59.244 --> 00:24:00.446
And personal way. i mentioned at the top
00:24:00.512 --> 00:24:01.280
I mentioned at the top of our time together i had
00:24:01.346 --> 00:24:02.514
Of our time together i had a special project i wanted
00:24:02.581 --> 00:24:03.849
A special project i wanted to talk to you about.
00:24:03.916 --> 00:24:05.217
To talk to you about. this project, i believe,
00:24:05.284 --> 00:24:06.785
This project, i believe, is a big one that we're gonna
00:24:06.852 --> 00:24:08.420
Is a big one that we're gonna invite you to help us tackle.
00:24:08.487 --> 00:24:11.690
Invite you to help us tackle. i am a product of a local church
00:24:11.757 --> 00:24:14.726
I am a product of a local church that care about
00:24:14.793 --> 00:24:15.661
That care about the public school system.
00:24:15.727 --> 00:24:16.829
The public school system. i would have never met
00:24:16.895 --> 00:24:17.863
I would have never met the lord jesus christ
00:24:17.930 --> 00:24:18.997
The lord jesus christ if a local church
00:24:19.064 --> 00:24:20.999
If a local church had not abandoned --
00:24:21.066 --> 00:24:21.767
Had not abandoned -- like most of the local churches
00:24:21.834 --> 00:24:22.768
Like most of the local churches have done across america,
00:24:22.835 --> 00:24:23.869
Have done across america, we've abandoned
00:24:23.936 --> 00:24:24.470
We've abandoned the public school system.
00:24:24.536 --> 00:24:26.038
The public school system. we have our christian schools.
00:24:26.104 --> 00:24:27.473
We have our christian schools. i love them.
00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:28.073
I love them. we supported them.
00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:30.175
We supported them. home schools, we,
00:24:30.242 --> 00:24:30.776
Home schools, we, me and my wife,
00:24:30.843 --> 00:24:31.643
Me and my wife, have done that with
00:24:31.710 --> 00:24:32.311
Have done that with our children before.
00:24:32.377 --> 00:24:34.079
Our children before. but there are many families,
00:24:34.146 --> 00:24:35.180
But there are many families, and we know that there is --
00:24:35.247 --> 00:24:37.082
And we know that there is -- the greatest harvest field
00:24:37.149 --> 00:24:38.217
The greatest harvest field in america is still
00:24:38.283 --> 00:24:39.251
In america is still the public school system,
00:24:39.318 --> 00:24:40.953
The public school system, as far as kids that are ready
00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:43.021
As far as kids that are ready and ripen to harvest,
00:24:43.088 --> 00:24:44.456
And ripen to harvest, it is still
00:24:44.523 --> 00:24:45.157
It is still the public school system
00:24:45.224 --> 00:24:46.124
The public school system and the devil is fighting for
00:24:46.191 --> 00:24:48.360
And the devil is fighting for our kids like never before.
00:24:48.427 --> 00:24:49.728
Our kids like never before. i remember a scripture where
00:24:49.795 --> 00:24:51.630
I remember a scripture where israel is begin attacked in
00:24:51.697 --> 00:24:53.265
Israel is begin attacked in jeremiah 49 and they're trying
00:24:53.332 --> 00:24:55.601
Jeremiah 49 and they're trying to figure out how to turn
00:24:55.667 --> 00:24:56.768
To figure out how to turn the battle.
00:24:56.835 --> 00:24:57.369
The battle. and this is what they --
00:24:57.436 --> 00:24:58.637
And this is what they -- the lord said, he said,
00:24:58.704 --> 00:24:59.571
The lord said, he said, "where are your sons?
00:24:59.638 --> 00:25:00.806
"where are your sons? where are your," --
00:25:00.873 --> 00:25:01.340
Where are your," -- in other words,
00:25:01.406 --> 00:25:01.807
In other words, "where are your children?"
00:25:01.874 --> 00:25:03.375
"where are your children?" so, a key to winning america
00:25:03.442 --> 00:25:05.244
So, a key to winning america is us asking the question,
00:25:05.310 --> 00:25:06.979
Is us asking the question, "have we given up on
00:25:07.045 --> 00:25:08.814
"have we given up on our children?"
00:25:08.881 --> 00:25:09.982
Our children?" and so, i wanna invite you to be
00:25:10.048 --> 00:25:11.016
And so, i wanna invite you to be a part of what we're calling
00:25:11.083 --> 00:25:13.552
A part of what we're calling and inviting you to be
00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:14.653
And inviting you to be a project backpack missionary.
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.322
A project backpack missionary. this is simply you help us
00:25:17.389 --> 00:25:18.891
This is simply you help us buy backpack and we give it
00:25:18.957 --> 00:25:21.126
Buy backpack and we give it to a student,
00:25:21.193 --> 00:25:22.427
To a student, and this student has real needs.
00:25:22.494 --> 00:25:23.929
And this student has real needs. these backpacks are anointed;
00:25:23.996 --> 00:25:25.464
These backpacks are anointed; they're prayed for
00:25:25.531 --> 00:25:26.832
They're prayed for and you're sending us to go
00:25:26.899 --> 00:25:28.267
And you're sending us to go reach the public high schools.
00:25:28.333 --> 00:25:30.369
Reach the public high schools. let's check this video out
00:25:30.435 --> 00:25:31.236
Let's check this video out and i'll tell you how
00:25:31.303 --> 00:25:32.437
And i'll tell you how you can help.
00:25:32.504 --> 00:25:32.905
>> announcer: for some kids,
00:25:34.706 --> 00:25:35.374
The first day of school
00:25:35.474 --> 00:25:36.308
Feels more like a setback
00:25:36.408 --> 00:25:37.643
Than a new start.
00:25:37.743 --> 00:25:38.710
That's why
00:25:38.810 --> 00:25:39.311
Project backpack exist,
00:25:39.411 --> 00:25:41.013
To meet a need and to show
00:25:41.113 --> 00:25:43.015
The love of jesus in a real
00:25:43.115 --> 00:25:44.550
And personal way
00:25:44.650 --> 00:25:45.984
Because every backpack says,
00:25:46.084 --> 00:25:48.287
"you matter.
00:25:48.387 --> 00:25:49.187
You're seen.
00:25:49.288 --> 00:25:50.222
You are not alone."
00:25:50.322 --> 00:25:52.057
>> when i think of the impact
00:25:52.824 --> 00:25:53.959
That project backpack
00:25:54.026 --> 00:25:54.826
Has on our community,
00:25:54.893 --> 00:25:57.195
I think of one little girl
00:25:57.262 --> 00:25:58.797
That was really special to me.
00:25:58.864 --> 00:26:01.900
I know what she was going
00:26:01.967 --> 00:26:03.035
Through and i always gave her
00:26:03.101 --> 00:26:06.872
The supplies that she needed.
00:26:06.939 --> 00:26:08.607
And honestly, she probably got
00:26:08.674 --> 00:26:11.143
Two or three backpacks each
00:26:11.209 --> 00:26:13.579
Of the years that i had her.
00:26:13.645 --> 00:26:15.380
When i would give her
00:26:15.447 --> 00:26:16.381
A brand-new backpack,
00:26:16.448 --> 00:26:17.583
She would light up
00:26:17.649 --> 00:26:18.350
And she would be so excited
00:26:18.417 --> 00:26:20.485
To bring it in every
00:26:20.552 --> 00:26:21.653
Single day.
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.688
Honestly, it wasn't about
00:26:22.754 --> 00:26:23.956
Academics for her that year,
00:26:24.022 --> 00:26:26.625
It was really just about
00:26:26.692 --> 00:26:27.893
Making her a good person
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:29.461
And helping her know
00:26:29.528 --> 00:26:30.629
That she was loved
00:26:30.696 --> 00:26:32.030
Every single day.
00:26:32.097 --> 00:26:33.098
Being able to give
00:26:33.165 --> 00:26:33.799
Her school supplies
00:26:33.865 --> 00:26:34.766
And a new backpack when
00:26:34.833 --> 00:26:36.501
She needed it just showed her
00:26:36.568 --> 00:26:39.438
That she was loved
00:26:39.504 --> 00:26:40.405
And i think that she will
00:26:40.472 --> 00:26:41.473
Never, ever forget that.
00:26:41.540 --> 00:26:42.808
>> let's be the hands and feet
00:26:44.376 --> 00:26:45.510
Of jesus because this isn't
00:26:45.611 --> 00:26:47.346
Just about backpacks,
00:26:47.446 --> 00:26:49.314
It's about expanding heaven
00:26:49.414 --> 00:26:50.682
