What Disruptions Teach Us | Dr. Cindy Trimm | Life Mastery

[Music] today I want to draw your attention to Genesis chapter 37 verse 5 to 11 and Joseph dreamed a dream and he told it to his brethren and they hated him yet the more and he said unto them here I pray you this dream which I have dreamed from behold we were binding sheaves in the field and lo my sheep raised and also stood upright and behold your sheaves stood round about and made obeisance to my sheaf and his brother and said shalt thou indeed reign over us or shall thou indeed have dominion over us and they hated him yet the more for his dream and for his words he did not only dream a dream but he spoke about his dream and he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brethren and said behold I have dreamed a dream more and behold the Sun in the moon and the Eleven stars made obeisance to me and he told his father and his brethren and his father rebuked him and said unto Him what is this dream that thou has dreamed shall I and thy mother and thy brother indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth and his brethren envied him but watch this but his father observed the same isaiah 43:19 221 says behold I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth shall you not know it I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert the beasts of the field shall under me and the dragons and the Owls because I have given water because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to drink to my people my chosen this people have I formed for myself they shall show forth my praise we have embarked in a different expression of humanity in fact the world into which you and I were born no longer exists 2020 and Beyond will be decades filled with disrupters innovators and game changers they will be filled with dreamers who have the courage to believe in dreams and actually manifest them so that they changed the way we think about life and the way that we do life and these are the disruptors the dawning of 2020 was the beginning of a decade of transformation and like people that we've heard of and we buy their products like Prada and Louie Vuitton like Chanel Versace Disney Ford Steven jobs God transformed them from just being individuals and when they died they were an institution and this is my prayer that in this in this generation and in this epoch in this decade of transformation God is going to transform you from an individual into being an institution we will go from just living and thinking like individuals to actually dominating industries and controlling institutions and so when we talk about 20 and 22 20 30 20 is a very significant number because it's it's a number before 21 and 21 has to do with realization so therefore the number 20 is very significant because it's a number of not only anticipating but preparing and and working for the realization of purpose and and and dreams and destiny so when you read scripture you see the significance of the number 20 20 years and Jacob we needed to get possession of his wives and property 20 years Israel waited for a deliverer from Japan's oppression 20 years Israel waited for deliverance through Samson 20 years the Ark of the Covenant waited at Corinth Durham 20 years Solomon was waiting for the completion of two houses 20 years Jerusalem waited between its capture and destruction 20 years Jeremiah prophesied concerning in and so when we talk about 20 I'm decreeing that you are no longer waiting that the wait is over and this is going to be a decade a decade 20 20 Joseph dreaming a dream it was double wasn't it and so 20 20 is very significant for those that really understand the significance of number so 2020 is double that means that we have entered into a decade of double blessings double breakthroughs double opportunities double healing double accomplishments double sight and double dreams Joseph dreamed yet another dream and when we think of the number of 20 it's so significant because the Bible records 20 dreams in the Bible number one the dream of Abimelech it's recorded in Genesis 20 verse 3 the dreams that Jacob and he dreamed to dreams so that stream number 2 and 3 so a bivouac dream Genesis 20 verse 3 Jacob had two dreams and you'll find them recorded in Genesis 28 and Genesis 30:1 like Ben joke Jacob's uncle had a dream that's Genesis 30 verse 24 and joseph has two dreams that's Genesis 37 five and nine the butler and the Baker they have dreams so that is genesis forty and five pharaoh has two dreams which is recorded in Genesis 41 verse 1 in verse 5 then you have in the book of Judges chapter 7 verse 13 the man in Gideon's army and first Kings three and five you have the dream that Solomon dreamed and in Daniel chapter 2 verse 3 in chapter four verse five Nebuchadnezzar has two dreams and Daniel in Daniel chapter 7 verse one he has a dream and then Joseph in the book of Matthew 1 verse 20 Matthew chapter 2 verse 13 and 19 Joseph the father of Jesus he has three dreams and then you had the wise man being led another way in Matthew 2 and 13 and then you have pilots wife in matthew 27:9 so these are the 20 dreams that are listed in the Bible Joseph had two dreams that would change the landscape of humanity and Egypt at that particular time was a part of Mesopotamia and his dream pointed to an economic disruption that would affect 57 nations that comprised of Mesopotamia and his dream were caused a to emerge as a superpower nation in its day so my question to you is how many of us that are listening today have a dream and I want you to think about it just for a moment and if you can take some time you can pause this as you're listening to it and if you get an opportunity to hear it over and over again to think about the dreams for a moment drink about the dreams that you have had your dream job your dream profession your dream spouse your dream house your dreams zip code your dream vacation now if I were to do a poll we're going to find out that all of us have a dream something that we want to do a job a house whatever that dream is but it will not be the exact house and it will not be the exact job it will not be the exact vacation because dreams that come from heaven are given and and they specifically are given to individuals so if you don't have a dream that you own most assuredly you're gonna be a part of someone else's dream so all of us should have dreams I know when I talked to my mother my mother had a dream for her children and so this does not have to be some scientific breakthrough but it must be like maybe a Jacob or even my mother for individuals that our single parent parents you should have dreams for a better life for your children and build a structure within your parenting to make sure that they're supported they have consistency and they have order in the house and so when we talk about dreams they don't have to be these big dreams of changing industries per se but they might be a dream for a better life for your children or there might be a dream attached to putting your parents in a house and giving your parent or parents a home that they never had so when we talk about dreams we're not just talking about night dreams we're talking about daydreams - what dreams do you have for yourself but what about the dreams that you have for your children where do you see your children how do you see them living I know that when we read scriptures we often read it as if it is some ancient document but no relevance to us but if you study the Bible you will see that many of the characters that we have a glimpse off and we get this biographical sketch of their lives strangely resembles ours and that is because God is establishing a president when he includes any biographical sketch of any individuals so that we can say God you are no respecter of persons if you did it for me or if you do it for did it for them you can also do it for me but your prayers should be driven by these dreams so if you dare to dream I want you to learn the art of recording them and then shape your your dreams into prayer points and then shake those prayer points into declarations and don't let anyone stop you because once you're able to decree and declare you are causing the wounds of the Spirit to begin to contract and based on divine timetables God set it up where you will be scheduled for a head-on collision with potentiality with possibility sometime in your future because the dream is going to give rise to desire and scripture says God gives you the desires of your heart so it was Walt Disney that said all of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them I decree that you are getting a new level of courage that no matter what age you are no matter where you live no matter what country you were coming from I decree that you are going to be a dreamer and that your dreams are going to come to pass when we think of Walt Disney he took a a mouse and a dock and a and he went from bank to bank and says listen here's a part of my dream I'm gonna build this entertainment entertainment field that people are gonna come to you and they're gonna come from around the world to see this dock this ferry and and and this Mouse and you can imagine the people thinking you are absolutely crazy and he got a whole bunch of no they kept saying no no the first time the second time the 20th the 30th the 40th the 50th the 60th the 70th the 80th the 90th somewhere around the hundredth time of hearing know someone was able to say yes and so the dream helps you to garner the persistence to never ever give up dreams dreams give rise to desires desires give rise to determination and once you are determined to do something you become unstoppable stoppable and no not even a know will be able to stop you dreams give rise to innovation and this is a decade of the innovator innovation base basically is the proper use of imagination and watch what the Bible says about innovation and imagination in Genesis 11 and 6 if you would turn there with me please the Bible said and the Lord said Behold the people is one and they have all one language and this they began to do and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do and I'm gonna repeat this again when you have a dream dreams give rise to innovation and innovation is the proper use of imagination and by the Bible says whatever you leave imagine nothing will be prohibited from causing that not to come to pass you have know nothing that will limit you there will be no lids on your life if you just are able to harness your imagination with the power of a dream so that means that you you have to ask a question how can I use this amazing gift of imagination because I think that that is one of God's divine gifts too all of us the ability to imagine and then the next question is how can you you consecrate your mind so that God will anoint your imagination and and and and have you ever consecrated your thought life so that God can download his download his thoughts into a mind that is clear and consecrated and clean and have you ever looked at yourself as an innovator Joseph was an innovator innovation requires the use of imagination and so I decree over your life that you are consecrating your thoughts and your mind and you are laying hands on yourself right now and you are giving God your mind giving God permission to download dreams and visions whether they're daydreams are night dreams and I decree and declare you are amongst the generation that God is raising up as innovators that God is going to not only give you the American Dream or the dream from your country but he's going to give you a dream for America I'm decreed right now that he's going to give you a dream for South Africa and a dream for Europe and a dream for Brazil and a dream for Barbados a dream for Bermuda a dream for Italy a dream for Istanbul I decree and declare he's gonna give you a dream for every continent whether it's Australia or America whether it is and Arctica that God is going to speak to you in such a way that is going to not only move your family forward and your community forward and industry forth but it's going to move the world forward one of the things that a famous philosopher said he said give me a Leever long enough and a fulcrum upon which to place it and I will move the world and I decree and declare that you are a mover and a shaker and a history maker because now God is anointing you as a dream he's gonna give you dreams for government he's gonna give you environmental and ecological dreams he's going to give you education 'old reams dreams that it's going to move the educational system forward he's going to give you economical dreams and spiritual dreams and scientific dream and technological dreams and social dreams and medical dreams and dreams for our defense right now they are creating drones that are going to be fighting battles and they're creating Robocop's that are going to begin to marshal the boundaries and borders of our community and give us protection that we need this is the defense the defense is going to be operating differently he's going to give us astronomical dreams and cultural dreams and right now overhead I hear a helicopter flying but that's only where we are now but right now they're developing helicopters that are going to have several people in it and they're going to change these helicopters so that we now have lateral landings and it's going to be fascinating where we are no longer just gonna be driving cars we're going to have levitational driving just like the Jetson where you have electromagnetic highways and we're going to be driving and flying cars and it's gonna be fantastic but may you not be just one of those ones that that enjoy it may may you be one of the ones that create these new innovative ideas I decree that the greatest Christian Imagineers and innovators are going to dominate in industries in which they are currently employed I decree that as you consecrate your mind to God that nothing will be able to stop you in this season and in the days to come when we think of dreamers dreamers are people that think differently and think divergently and think daringly and think dramatically you know we talk about drama queens but i decree and declare that your dreams are so dramatic they are sounded they have Technicolor and sound effects until it activates your faith and your faith really drives you to action and when we deal with dreamers dreamers or people who are not fond of the status quo they are prophetic people who tap into the mind gone one of the things that Martin Luther King said he said I have a dream I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its Creed we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal his dream changed the landscape of the United States of America the political landscape it changed the social landscape and the business landscape of America because one man dared to have a dream and he was not only daring about it he spoke about it until it forced it passion in others hear what the Lord is saying to you right now Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the thoughts that I think to what you say the Lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected and I decree and declare you will take this word seriously and consecrate your mind and ask God to make you a dreamer dreamers are people with vivid imaginations who are not afraid to think outside of the box or create new boxes that other people think outside off these are people that do things that other people thought possible impossible they create things that other people said could never exist they push the proverbial envelope when others are satisfied with small they think bigger better greater they live in an alternative reality called faith I decree and declare that God is activating your faith and people are looking at you strange but they won't be looking at you strange very long especially if God is in it Joseph was just that type of dreamer he was not only a dreamer he was also a man of faith to believe that what he was seeing could come to pass he epitomized to me what faith looks like faith is around faith helps you to do the unthinkable it helps you to believe for the impossible it helps you to manifest the most incredible things ever faith faith brings the unseen to the scene by those who believe in what they see faith is a supernatural Highway it connects you to the realm of the greatness of God and positions you to do incredible things within your lifetime faith people of faith are believers and they have a unique level of intimacy with God I'm decree and declaring that your level of intimacy is increasing so much so that he's able to download the most amazing secrets for the unfolding of his plans in humanity and shows you how you're going to play a part in it I declare that as you dream you will wake up and accomplish great exploits lloyd's and that's because faith is the key jesus said if thou canst believe all things are possible if you can believe then all things are possible so your days of living with a lid and limitation upon you is over your days of living with nothing to prove that you have contributed to this world is over faith takes you into the realm of the uncommon and I decree and declare that you are going to have an uncommon year and that year is going to be epic that you will no longer think of just epic years you're gonna be thinking of epic decades and I'm decreeing over your life and your family and your children that this is going to be not only your year but this is going to be your decade I decree a decade filled with great exploits things that will cause you to forge new mutually beneficial relationships and networks and gain uncommon favor and rare opportunities and surprising great truths I decree that you're gonna have just the most fantastic future and stupendous success because you have decided that you're going to believe that your dreams will become a reality and when you do you will operate in a new realm of faith and faith makes you a trendsetter I decree that you are a trendsetter you are a status qualifier you are a line crosser and you are a history maker in this day when we think of dreamers my mind always goes back to Joseph God had big dreams for Joseph and he has big dreams for you and you should dream big in fact what you've been dreaming of doing and creating is already too small you should have big dreams for yourself but not only big dreams for yourself you should have big dreams for your community big dreams for your business you should have big dreams for your government whatever God has planted you whatever field you are in you should have big dreams and if you are a dreamer one of the things that Reinhard Bonnke said he said when you have a dream nothing will stop you dreams make you unstoppable it makes you um indomitable it makes you unbeatable invincible irrepressible inextinguishable people cannot extinguish your passion your fire your dream and make you sit in the corner and stick your thumb in your mouth as a victim a dream will have you coming out of the corner like a lion a dream if it comes from God will have opposition if you have a dream and nobody fights it I doubt it if you have a dream that is never tried or tested check it if you have a dream that is not challenged by those around you concerning you your audacity to believe the dream can come to pass redefine it the moment you say I have a dream everyone is not going to applaud you if you if you understand that if the gates are shut and the doors are barred our dream will make you climb over the fence and if you are not invited around the table a dream will make you build a table for yourself this is a dream if you have a dream that means you have the ability to tap into unlimited potentiality hidden in the realm of faith when we look at Joseph's dreams Joseph's dream endorsed the fact that God had called him from an old economy into a new his dream endorsed his mental his dream confirmed his greatness and I want you to know this that just as long as you were a dreamer whether it's a night dream or a day dream this confirming that you were created for greatness that you are given power to create to expand to increase that you are created that you are God's agent and you have to understand that whatever God has given you to do don't say I'm gonna try just do it you've got to be able to trust believe in God believe in yourself fight for your dream fight for your destiny stand up stand tall and don't apologize for your dream so let's turn to our attacks in Genesis 37 to 210 and I want to break this down the Bible said these are the generations of Jacob Joseph being 17 years old was feeding the flock with his brethren and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah and his father's wives and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report and Joseph dreamed a dream and he told it to his brethren and they hated him yet the more listen to me carefully people come with their own stuff and when people hate you and when people fight you and when people are jealous of you you are not making them jealous you are not irritating them it's already on the inside of them but that dream or that vision and just exposes the reality of who a person really is listen to me carefully people that are going to love you they come with love and your dream will never make them jealous your dream will never imitate them but the people that have it sitting and seething and simmering just beneath the surface where you cannot see it they will be one way when you have decided to be amongst the clutter of the common but the moment you rise up and you say have a dream and this is where I'm going and you have the courage to pronounce a benediction on yesterday you have the courage to say goodbye to your yesterday and hello to tomorrow that's when who a person really is is going to be manifested when you change and when people decide I no longer want to be with you I no longer want to serve you do not feel bad about it it was always there it's you see Joseph didn't make them jealous a lot of preachers try to preach that you know his brothers were angry with him because they bought an evil report but that is not true a lot of people have at the within themselves a spirit of guile and they just haven't had the right catalyst to expose that guile but people that are pure in heart they're gonna be happy when you have nothing but they're gonna be even more happy when God gives you something so don't for one minute feel as if you have to kiss up to these people to make them feel better it is coming from the inside of them it's not what goes inside of men is what comes out of a man Jesus had said so the Bible said he dreamed and they told it to his brother brothers and they hated him yet the more in other words they already hated him for whatever reason and he was a young boy but now they hated him even more how dare you believe that God is going to do something great for you at our expense but that was not the dream here's the caveat how you interpret your dream is how it unfolds and watch this verse number 6 and he said unto them here I pray you the dream which I have dreamed for behold we were binding sheaves in the field this this speaks to an economic ship because at that particular time if you are aware of the history of the children of Israel they were not in the business of being farmers they were actually shepherds they herded sheep so in his dream he sees that there's an economic shift moving them from hurting animals to agrarian and agrarian driven economy and this is important because this is a season of for you to shift when we we pray jay-bez prayers it's about gaining a larger capacity for what is to come and I'm decree and declaring that God is in large in your territory what you're going through a lot to do with God putting pressure on your potential putting the heat on you so that you can cooperate with heaven as he enlarges your capacity for your necks so from where you are right now one of the things that I'm decreeing over your life that you're going to shift and you're going to shift in the way that you're thinking this was going to be an economic shift so I'm decreeing and declaring that God is enlarging in your territory so that you shift in the way you think about finances if you are making a hundred I decree and declare you're shifting to a mindset in a paradigm that I'm making thousands if you're making thousands you shift to millions if you're making millions you shift to making billions if you're if you're an employee you ship your mind to think like an entrepreneur and an employee earn in other words even if you are employed with someone else because it's not saying you know a lot of times when I talk about entrepreneurial and having an entrepreneurial mindset people think that they have to necessarily fire their boss and tender their resignation and go off and start their own work it doesn't mean that it simply means that if you are going to be remain employable and if you are going to defy being obsolete and if you are going to be indispensable in the workforce you've got to stop thinking like an employee you're just there for making money you have been hired as a problem-solver and I think about Steven jobs and all the people that work for him where they did not necessarily have to expand their finances and resources there was someone else using their resources and what they did they took their their gifts and their talents and they were hired by Apple and they were able still able to realize their dreams and goals but it was at someone else's expense and so some people yes we are called to have our own our own ministry our own business our own nonprofit organization but the vast majority you were there to make sure that that vision comes to pass and here's the caveat you don't have to expand your own resources to do it so in praying and asking God God how should I operate ask him to help you to operate like an entrepreneur and an employer an employer even though you may be an employee and if you do so you will make yourself in dispensable think a bottom line a lot of people don't care all they care is about Friday they mid mid month or the end of the month they come they just think about a paycheck but they never think about pushing the brand in the marketplace solving problems they never think about how they can contribute to the bottom line all they know is the money is coming from somewhere but I want you to think differently if you want to make yourself indispensable go on your job Monday to Friday go there and work like you own it you would not waste money if that was your your business you would not act like you act if that was your business go in the marketplace and act as if you own it and this is what we're talking about dominates where you are dominate in the field that means that if you're going to have a shift a dream is going to shift the way that you'd think if you're struggling shift your thinking to thriving this is the year to make the mental shift let me keep reading the Bible said that he had his first dream and scripture says that all of their sheaves were standing up so he said and lo my sheep arose that means that he was first in the industry but also stood upright and behold your sheaves stood round about so that means that they were all destined to become industry leaders - it wasn't that just Joseph he was going to become an industry leader - but the Bible said and they made obeisance to my sheep so in acknowledgment of his position within the family as both leader and patriarch God was going to allow them to rise to the top he dreamed of a new ink in which his brothers and he were produced so listen to me carefully if you are servicing someone in C Street Suite or you're working with a president or you're working with your supervisor it is impossible for you to support them in a realm that you are not in that realm as well and a lot of people bring insecurity to the table not realizing that if God has called you to work with a leader a president it means that you have to be in the same round not the same position not having the same title not necessarily having the same job that you discharge but you are operating from the same realm this is important for you to hear and understand so in the dream these individuals they were they were bowing to someone that would lead so that means that even as he dreamt of a new economy in which his brothers and he would produce succeed and prosper within industries that they would dominate one day dominate and control their interpretation of the dream only saw the brother and they had a false interpretation and so remember their dream their sheaves stood up as well but the only difference was that they bowed to Joseph and it was speaking of submitting to leadership and this is important I want to park this to us to the side and talk about submission and and and that's that's a subject all by itself it's a subject all by itself when they when they gave obeisance they were honoring a position that he was in an honor is it is different and I don't want to go off into a rabbit trail away from dreaming but but what you honor will honor you and honor is not about just about the things that you do but honor is a mindset it's the way that you discipline your spirit it's how you address is what you do and I'm gonna Park that aside because I do it and tie your teaching on honor someone has to lead and and being able to understand that you're gifted and you are talented but you being able to honor the person whether or not you're equally equally anointed that honor actually sets you apart for greatness and and and and and I I want to part that float as s as a balloon and come back at some other date to talk to you about honor and how powerful honor is verse number eight let's go back to our text cuz I was going down a rabbit trail I don't want to go down that rabbit trail any longer but verse number eight and his brethren said unto him shalt thou indeed reign over us or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us but they did not see because of jealousy jealousy was blinding their eyes listen to me carefully never be jealous of someone who has gone ahead of you and have greatness why because God has a place for you a space for you a grace for you and a race for you and there's room at the top for all of us there's room on the mountain for all of us and you don't have to compete with anyone else for their position their title because success is not just for some of us it's for all of us and and we've been deceived in this generation to believe that there's limited opportunities that are in this world we live in a world of unlimited possibilities and potentialities and once you understand that your unique value-added proposition will cause you to distinguish yourself from everyone else that is an imitator be yourself pursue your dreams pursue your vision know what God has called you to do I'm called to serve and in serving it just so happens that I'm called to lead but I'm sorry I'm called to serve the visionaries the innovators I'm called to serve the leaders government officials industry leaders this is I'm called to serve them I'm called to serve to bring tools to the table I'm called to bring thought leadership to this world and serving the world so that others can be great so that I can bow down and my generation steady the shoulders for the next generation to to to stand on I know why I'm called you've got to know what your unique value-added proposition is in this world and stick to it if you are not a problem solver you will become obsolete you've got to find what the problem is especially when it comes to your industry or your job please don't go in in the workplace or in your ministry and talk about this problem and that problem and the other problem you are the problem solver and the bigger the problem the bigger the prosperity Joseph's solved a big problem in Egypt and as a result of that he not only prospered his family prospered and the nation prospered prosperity is attached to problem solvers problem solve problems excuse me dreams are attached to problems and when you solve the problems prosperity follows you don't have to chase after prosperity find the biggest problems the biggest problems in the workforce the biggest problems don't be around the water fountain and don't be in the coffee room talking about all the problems the problems in your boss the problems with you know the structure of the the the business and and the processes and this don't work and that doesn't work maybe God planted you there as a problem solver and and and you've got to be able to see yourself exactly as that I say don't complain create and so they were upset and they're like you know you think you're going to rule over us and they hated him the more for his dreams and for his word verse number nine says and he dreamt yet another dream and told it to his brethren and behold after I have a and and said behold I have a dream I need to calm myself down I'm so excited and said behold I have a dream and a dream more and behold the Sun and the moon and the Eleven stars made obeisance to me so the bible does not indicate how many dream Joseph actually had but they record these two dreams and in this dream God shows him now that he's going from just being an industry leader that God was going to take him into world dominance so he was going to be big be operating as an individual but he was going to die as an institution and so in this dream God chose him world dominance that will precede industry dominance whereby he and his brothers will go from local to global and from living as an individual to dying as an institution and so this is important I'm gonna park this aside because I'm gonna have an opportunity to talk to you about these different dreams and the implications of the dreams verse number 10 said and he told it to his father and his brethren and his father rebuked him and said unto him what is this dream that thou has dream in other words his father said do you have the interpretation of that dream of course Joseph didn't have an interpretation because God connected him to some time in a future and Joseph then would be the only one that would walk out this destiny because of the unbelief again how a dream isn't is interpreted is how it unfolds and so his left his both he and his brothers and both of the dreams should have been industry leaders and then have world dominance but Joseph walks out his destiny and his brothers his eleven brothers leg behind him in terms of progress and success and in this season I decree and declare you are not going to be lagging behind anybody that gon is going to give you dreams and you're gonna activate your faith and even as God may raise up prophets that will be able to speak into your spirit and I'm talking about prophets that are accurate not prophets that have a word of wisdom a word of knowledge but those that are able to see in the future and will be able to speak to you in terms of timeframes I decree and declare based on the accuracy of that prophetic word that your light will follow suit and that even if the prophet doesn't have interpretation that God will give you the interpretation of the dream one day Joseph went from being a nobody and God elevated him into a leadership and here's what I'm saying that even as his brothers were legging behind in the dream I decree and declare that as God elevates your leader as the elevator supervisor your employer as he elevates them as he prospers them as it causes them to ascend into new realms of power and new realms of influence and superiority and wealth and into new realms of financial status and station as he elevates them I decree and declare you are going to be elevated to as you are assigned as a dream helper and you understand that you are operating in the same realm as they the same realm as faith as they are that you will be prospered you will be promoted and you will not lag behind in this season you will not lag behind anyone and as your contemporaries progress you will be like a Joseph you're gonna be head and shoulders above them in terms of performance and progress and I'm gonna say it again maybe anointing that was upon Joseph be upon you and whatever role God has called you to and whatever assignment he has given you and whatever a job he has given you I decree and declare you were going to discharge it as elegant as Joseph just charged him Joseph was a leader but he served a world leader do you understand what I mean so he did not necessarily have to have the title of being Ferrum but he served Pharaoh therefore it was in a the same realm as Pharaoh therefore he submitted to Pharaoh but watch this Pharaoh had to submit to him because Pharaoh had a dream that he could not interpret he had a dream that he had no skills that were developed but because of hardship because because someone put pressure on his gifts and talent listen to me carefully if you have an opportunity to work with a boss a supervisor that puts pressure on you like a Steven jobs don't wiggle out of it don't don't don't run to your friends and complain there is too much pressure you never know what God is birthing out of you whenever you have seeds of greatness on the inside of you God will have to bring someone that is anointed to put pressure on that gift on that on that potential to to raise the bar of expectations on your performance when you are hired you are not hired to be in a Miss Congeniality contest or mr. congeniality contest where people have to like you it's not about people liking you it's about what God is doing in you and if you are in a position where there is pressure and where there's heat and I can give you I can be as transparent as I possibly can I remember everywhere I went when I was young in 18 19 20 21 22 23 I always had someone that was my immediate superior that didn't let me get away with anything this was in ministry this was in in the workforce and the pressure was there and in each time I would hear people complaining and I would never complain with them even though it was tough even though there are many days I felt like tendering my resume when I look back in wisdom when I look at my life retrospectively I could see the sovereignty of God had it not been for the assignment of those individuals who are not interested in me liking them they were more interested in me performing at a higher level and by the time I was 30 I had risen to one of the highest echelon in my country ruling my country and I could look back and I could say thank you God thank you that you didn't give me someone that let me get away with taking shortcuts that demanded excellence that put the pressure on me that put the pressure on my performance my deportment my diplomacy that put pressure on me starting from a little girl starting from my mother and you know my mother didn't let me get away with anything and she demanded of me what she didn't Mendham and my siblings and I used to ask my mother why why would you ask me to do so-and-so and she never but now I have the answer because I see God in every stage of my life he was putting pressure and so with Joseph when you read Joseph's story and when you waiting with you when you connected to Psalm where it talks about the sovereignty of God you see that Joseph's dream was in suitable and the interpretation was sure and that there would be nothing to interfere with the realizing of that dream but God had to raise individuals and he used that he used in the equation many factors it's not that God orchestrated everything he allowed certain things so in God's sovereignty sometimes he orchestrates things other things times he allows it and you could see where God allowed him to come under pressure in his family where they sold him and then his cousins pulled him out and then now he's a part of human trafficking and they sell him and you know he set up where he scandalized in the workplace and he's a part he's working in a very toxic environment but and then he's in prison and people forget him and you could look in your life and you could be resentful of people or you can begin to see where God was at work behind the scene and I want to say to every last one of you that are listening God is at work behind the scene though you cannot feel his presence though you cannot see his power he's working on your behalf proverbs 25 and 2 says it is the glory of God to conceal the matter but it is the glory of Kings to search out the matter and today we want to search out the matter concerning Joseph the dreamer I've discovered that a dream pushes the dreamer beyond the point where most people would would have given up and Joseph is the story of the ultimate survivor where his 10 brothers plotted to kill him and he ended up before a spell as a slave and the moment he starts seeing success in his future he's his cup cassadee as a manager of his master safir's his master's wife got him thrown in prison there was a huge scandal obviously Potiphar didn't believe his wife because if Potiphar believed his wife he wouldn't have been thrown in jail he would have been executed but you know God always has destiny helpers and they come in different shapes and different forms and I decreed that your destiny helper is coming and one of the reasons why we have to understand the power of a dream you know people are gonna treat you differently but while they're treating you differently whether it's your mother or your father whether it's your sibling whether it is in your school whether it's your contemporary know that they're picking up something you're different you talk different you act different you have a different kind of dream and when the pressure comes through rejection when the crap pressure comes through people are despising you this is just an opportunity for you to hone your skill and you've got to be able to trust God because in his sovereignty he's gonna cost all things to work together for good and this takes me to Psalm 105 verse 17 to 24 where it talks about Joseph and it says he sent a man before them even Joseph who was sold for a servant whose feet they hurt with fetters he was laid in iron until the time that his word came the word of the Lord tried him the king sent and loosed him even the rule of the people and let him go free he made him Lord of his house and ruler of his substance to bind his princess and his pleasure and to teach his senators wisdom Israel also came into Egypt and Jacobs adjourned in the land of ham and he increased his people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies you are going to be stronger than your enemies in this season that no weapon formed against you will prosper it doesn't matter whether you're in the top toxic environment in the workplace our toxic relationships domestically you are going to come out and when you come out you're going to be greater you're gonna be stronger you're gonna be wiser you're gonna be better and God is going to do something in you to show you that this is just a light lesson and it's a light lesson about a dream a dream is having snapshot of eventualities that act as a catalyst of faith and an instrument that activates hope and without hope Joseph would have died but his hope helped him to prevail and I'm decreeing and declaring you are going to prevail his dreams were compelling in that it not only showed his destiny but all the destiny of his siblings and his parents and it also showed him that one day he would become an industry leader and a global icon and a baron of billions I am decreeing and declaring that you are going to be a master of millions and a baron and a Baroness of billions that although his dreams of them binding sheaves and his standing up with the others bowing oh bases as well as the stars and the Sun and the moon bowing down to him which represented Pharaoh and his wife it included his family his brothers even though they were blinded by rage and envy and jealousy it did not preempt the manifestation of its dreams and in conclusion I want to say this about dreams dreams provide a foundation for future aspiration exploitations and manifestations I decree and declare through dreams gone is laying a new kind of foundation in your life for this generation a house is only as strong as a foundation a road is only as straight as its foundation a marriage is only as blissful as its foundation our government is only as effective is foundation your destiny is only as vivid as your interpretation of your dream I decree that you will dream again because dreams of the stuff that the world is made of I'm asking the question where are the dreamers dreams happen in the dark hours of the night your night season should not be tolerated or misunderstood because God is at work in the darkest moment of your life it was when Adam was asleep in a deep sleep that God created the white of his dream and this is why I began to talk to people to tell them to make your bedroom a dreamscape and to remove from out of your bedroom every technology technology is making people light sleepers and most people don't go into a deep sleep or even if they try to go into a deep sleep their notifications are going off or the telephone and the blue light is keeping them awake but prophetically I speak to you today that God is healing you of insomnia not just physically but spiritually you are going to dream again dreams are perhaps the single most important spiritual force in this world because it shapes our lives by it lives are in hands by it purpose is actualized by it potential is realized it is the force which has shaped our world and fostered all human progress it is responsible for technological advancement dreams are responsible for medical and scientific breakthroughs breed dreams are responsible for community development social reconstruction dreams are responsible for the creation of economic monopolies and all of man's kinds and accomplishment Gandhi had a dream for India Martin Luther King had a dream for America Mandela had a dream for South Africa Walt Disney had a dream for entertainment Steven Jobs had a telecon Talent technological dream Henry Ford had a dream that transformed the transportation industry Sam Walton had a dream of transforming the retail industry gone had a dream for this generation he has a dream for your profession he has a dream for humanity and that dream involves you I am asking the question where are the dreamers believe to dream again and I am challenging you go in your bedroom take your your television out make your bedroom a technological technological free zone and then believe to dream again god bless you I Robin our God we thank you for each individual that is listening to this particular series I pray that you would bless them that they would lay hands on themselves that they would consecrate their mind they were consecrate their spirit and that you would give them dreams there are many individuals that cannot recall the dreams that they dream at night but there are day dreamers so here's to the night dreamers and day dreamers those that have sparks of inspiration those that have that light bulb that goes off I pray father for each individual that they will begin to dream industry-specific dreams and those father that have businesses that they're thinking about solving world problems and then you are bringing to them dream helpers and these are individuals that are uniquely qualified and gifted and anointed by you to bring that dream to pass I call each individual under the auspices of my voice blessed today to use their imagination and use the dream to harness it and to direct it along the path that you have selected for it along the lines of the unfolding of your original plan and purpose for Humanity in Jesus name Amen
