Dream Again

Genesis 37:5–11 KJV 1900
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

Dream Again

Ecclesiastes 5:3 KJV 1900
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

Joseph dreamed a dream

Most people only dream
To contemplate something happening outside of the normal.
This wasn’t a normal dream
Normal dreams
++Are rarely remembered
++Have minimum impact
When you dream a dream
++You get a God-size perspective
++You begin to see differently
++You break the normal
A God-size dream
++Shapes faith
++Establishes direction
++Is fuel for the Journey

The Biblical term is _Vision_

Proverbs 29:18 KJV 1900
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18 NIV
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
When there is no Vision
++Anything is can happen
++Everything will happen
Where Vision is
++There are legal boundaries
++There is structure
++There is safety

Man can exist without vision, but will never be satisfied.

There are two type of people in the world.
++Consumers
++Producers
Consumers
++Rely on others
++Are never satisfied
++Always want more
Producers
++Sensitive to opportunities
++Strategic thinkers
++Accomplish more
++They are dreamers of dreams
Genesis 37:5 KJV 1900
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Genesis 37:9 KJV 1900
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Joseph
++Dream a Dream
++Told his Brothers
++His brothers Hated him for it
Hold on to your dream
++Remember the dream
++Tell the dream
++There will alway be dream thieves.
This would be only the first of many test

verse 9 And he dreamed another dream

God’s dream
++Is in his hand
++Is not subject to others
Genesis 37:9 KJV 1900
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Why did Joseph do the same thing?

Joseph
++Was not responsible for the dream
++Was excited about the dream
++Had something to be happy about
++He Dream a Dream More
Habakkuk 2:2–3 KJV 1900
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, That he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, But at the end it shall speak, and not lie: Though it tarry, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

And Joseph dreamed a dream more..

1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV 1900
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2:10 KJV 1900
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Now is the time
