ONE VOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE PODCAST

HOST: JANET SWANSON

AUDIO PODCAST

Everyone has a destiny, a dream, a talent, a test, a journey,  a calling, obstacles,  haters, failures, and everyone has a choice! 

You are listening to a series I spoke on the life of Joseph, but I have attached a special personal word for you at the end, so don’t stop listening. 

What have your choices been? All the choices you have made have led to this moment right here, right now.  Have you made the choice to follow God and the dreams He has for you or to follow your own dreams? 

  • You can’t dream bigger than God! 
  • Will you reach your destiny? Will you make it through the pit stops of life? 
  • Will you pass the test? Will you pass the test when no one is looking? 

Jeremiah 29:11 New Life Version

11 For I know the thoughts  (plans, designs, intentions) that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

The first point I want to make is: 

I. God Still Uses Dysfunctional People!  

The second point I want to make is:

II. In the midst of dysfunction….God still has a plan

Since God has already written His thoughts down for you, he already sees the end of your life. He knows how this story ends and guess what? It has a good ending!

The third point I want to make is: 

III. In the middle of dysfunction, God will REVEAL his plan

God revealed to Joseph HIS PLAN, and Joseph’s dream was offensive to his family!  Watch this!

The fourth point I want to make is:

IV. God will use dysfunction, the haters, and jealousy to catapult the first chapter of your dream

Sometimes the LAUNCH of your dream will actually look like a SETBACK! 

Joseph was headed in the right direction, but it was soon going to start a very painful season in his life! Pain will push you to purpose if you let it! And there will be times that The Lord will allow the enemy to: 

  • Test you
  • To threaten you
  • To attack your dreams and hopes
  • To attack what is closest to your heart 
  • To attack the promise God has given you
  • To take you to the lowest place of your life

Because God knows if you can still trust HIM in the LOW places, HE CAN TRUST YOU IN THE HIGH PLACES! 

  • How low you will go will determine the heights you will reach. 
  • The Kingdom is an upside-down kingdom; to go high, you must first go low! 

V. Last point I want to make is: 

 God will heal the dysfunction in your family when YOU walk out (surrender) your dreams!

  • Joseph became the man he was through the trials he went through. 
  • He used his gift to bless and not curse. 
  • He did not despise his past, but he accepted it
  • Joseph embraced every detour along the way. 
  • Joseph chose to forgive and bless those who hurt him, betrayed him, and abandoned him. 
  • Joseph knew that without the haters, he could not have arrived at pharaoh’s house! He recognized that GOD was with him all the time!
