0:00.0	Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.
0:09.1	Well, I'm thrilled to be here and I want to speak to you on a subject that
0:16.7	changed my own life and I trust that we'll do that for you. In a moment, I will be reading from
0:24.2	Genesis chapter 45. But before I get into that, because there may be something here that don't know
0:32.3	the background of the story of Joseph. Joseph was the favorite son of Jacob. Jacob was not
0:42.9	a good parent. It's never wise to show favoritism, but Jacob did that. And Joseph was spoiled.
0:51.9	He was given a coat of many colors by his dad. The only thing worse than
0:57.3	giving it was wearing it, which he did didn't seem to bother him. And on top of that, he had
1:04.8	strangers that may seem a prophetic gift in dreams. And those dreams indicated that one day
1:14.2	his 11 brothers would bow down to him. Now, Joseph's mistake was telling the dreams to
1:21.6	his brothers, not a smart thing to do, that one day you're going to bow down to me. The funny
1:27.3	thing is the dreams were of God. And what I'm getting ready to read now is the fulfillment
1:36.5	of that moment. No one thought it would happen, but the brothers were so jealous that they decided
1:43.7	to kill him. And instead of kill him, they sowed him to the Ishmaelites, never expecting to see
1:51.0	him again. But then the Ishmaelites sold him to an officer of the Pharaoh, whose name was
1:58.4	Potterfer. And Joseph now had a job in a strange land, Egypt. And he'd never worked a daily
2:05.6	life, but God exalted him. And he was made the head of the household there. But to fast forward,
2:14.8	the day came when overnight Joseph was chosen to be the governor, you could say prime minister
2:22.8	of Egypt. And he was now given a job with the Pharaoh. It was only a matter of time now
2:32.0	that the dream that the brothers would bow down to him would be fulfilled. And so what I'm going to
2:39.7	read to you from Genesis chapter 45 is the fulfillment of that prophecy. Now I am sure
2:50.4	that Joseph thought that God gave him those dreams so that one day he could look at those brothers
