0:00.0	As we cross the threshold into a new year, ask the Lord to give you a new beginning of obedience to him. Aren't you glad that our God is a god of new beginnings, not of endings. I want to
0:35.2	bring you to a great story today in Genesis chapter number 41.
0:39.4	It is the story of Joseph's life, not at the beginning, but at the end. You know, in
0:45.2	scripture the Bible says better as the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. That's because
0:49.7	in the beginning, you can't see it all. It's not altogether, but when you come to the end, God truly
0:55.5	does make everything beautiful in his time. Joseph, of course, who was sold into slavery and
1:01.4	betrayed by his own brothers and all of that, now is made fruitful and is blessed in an amazing
1:08.7	way. In Genesis 41, verse 50 we read,

1:32.1	And the name of the second called He Ephraim. For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
1:41.4	He has two boys. The names are Manasah and Ephraim, and the names are chosen
1:45.8	very carefully because each one represents a great truth. And I think a truth that all of us
1:51.7	need today. First, everybody needs a Manasa. What does Manassah mean? Forgetting. This is a word
2:00.0	about Joseph's past. He said, God said he hath made me forget.
2:05.1	All my toil and all my father's house. You know, God is the divine forgetter. Aren't you
2:11.4	glad that he forgets our sins? He cast us behind him, praise the Lord for that. And then the
2:16.9	miracle is that he can make us to forget.
