Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

Okay, so we're in a six week series. A six week 10 week series. This is the sixth week of it. So let me get that right.

Called Dream to Destiny. We've been told about Joseph. This message will be a little bit different

in that the first five we were taking these tests in chronological order.

The four after this are will also be chronological order. The the five that we've already done were from the time Joseph was

17 to 30 in that 13 years. The four that will do after this message are from 30 own when he began to fulfill his destiny.

So you still take tests even when you're after you stepped into fulfilling your destiny while you're fulfilling your destiny.

This is one that's right in the middle that kind of sums up the five he's already taken the four is about to take and everybody takes this.

It's called passing the prophetic test. It means that God prophetic means that to speak under divine inspiration.

So it simply means that God has spoken a word to you.

Maybe through a dream like Joseph, maybe in your quiet time, maybe through your friends and those who know you well.

Maybe through a prophet, but normally it's nearly always confirmed. I would it wouldn't just be just one person.

Obviously, if it was one and that person was God, that's enough. But but God will even send others to confirm the word.

But you're going to go through this. And so I've been going chronological order again, but there's this verse in Psalm

that just speaks about Joseph and speaks about this prophetic test. All right. I want to just also say

that that prophetic word that dream from God, we talk about dream to destiny. Let me help you a little bit because you know,

I absolutely love words. I love words and the meaning, but you might not ever have related this.

But the word destiny, we get another word from that word and it's destination.

So God has a destination for you. But you need to know that some of God's words are dependent upon you.

Some are not. In other words, all the words God gave about the Messiah coming and the second coming, that's not dependent on you.

The Messiah came and he's coming back no matter what you do. Okay. But whether you end up at your destination or not, depends on how well you do through these tests.

And again, God is so gracious that if you fail one, he'll just let you keep taking it over and over again.
