About this sermon

Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ We have begun a brand new series to share with you: Lessons from the Life of Joseph. We can learn so much from the lives of those who loved God and His Word. God even tells us in His Word that all things that happened to those in the Old Testament were written for our learning ( I Corinthians 10: 1-11 ), even to help us so we don't make the same mistakes. Let's learn from the life of Joseph a the biblical principle that the choices we make when we come under life's pressures will determine our outcome. 00:20 Andrew can identify with Joseph because God gave him two dreams, that God would promote him, that his brothers would bow down to him and that he would be lord over them. And yet, for 13 years everything in Joseph's life seemed to go contrary to God's promise. 01:14 The dreams that God gave Joseph kept him motivated through his trials. 04:40 Joseph maintained his focus. Even though Joseph found himself in prison he kept himself encouraged by God's promise. This is a very important lesson because so many people will seek God because they want a desired result but then they'll give up too easily. You have to be committed to it. 05:25 James 1:4 ...let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 08:00 Today we need more confidence that if we just keep doing what's right, we're going to win. Good really does triumph over evil. 11:15 You should be the best employee, give you all to it without bad attitudes to the point your employer can't live without you. You will be rewarded. The lesson from Joseph's life is, from the pit to the palace. Have the serving attitude of Joseph and you will be promoted. 12:10 Andrew started church ministry with no more than 12 people yet Andrew gave it all he had. Andrew taught like there were 1,000 people in the room. 18:00 Andrew wants to get across today, that regardless of what you're going through , if God has put a vision in your heart, make sure it's a God given vision and not just your own thing...but if God has put a dream on your heart, regardless of what things look like right now you need to hold on to that dream and take inspiration from Joseph. 20:25 With two weeks for Andrew's son was born they still didn't have the money needed for the hospital. Andrew was discouraged and was watching Kenneth Copeland teach I John 5:4...this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith". Discouraged Andrew talked to the television, "Yes, Kenneth I've heard that verse, I've tried it and it just doesn't work." It was like Kenneth was in the room and heard Andrew, Kenneth said, "Don't tell me you tried this, you don't just try this, you just do it". After a time, Andrew humbled himself to continue believing in faith. He knew it was God talking to him. 21:50 On the day their son was born, they had the money they needed. On the way home from the hospital Andrew pulled into a gas station but told God, I don't have any money for gas to get back home....Listen how God meets Andrew's need. 23:10 We can take hope from Joseph's story. It's worked for Andrew and it will work for you. ========================================­==== Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ========================================­==============
