He put somebody like you in a position like that so that your heart would be tender toward other people and you would understand and you'd be able to make some changes. You blessed people, you intellectual people, you gifted people, you talented people, you wealthy people, God didn't give you that stuff for you. Sickness and plagues, disease, and catastrophe became so overwhelming that it pushed Jacob out of his country and away from his people and forced him down into Egypt, and Jacob goes down into Egypt, thinking that his son is dead and his other son is dead and his life is over only to find out that God has strategically placed somebody on the inside for such a time as this. Famine broke out! Famine, dead bodies in the street and nobody well enough to bury them. Joseph gifts made room for him and put him in a place of prominence, and it was shocking that one day he was an inmate, and the next day he is basically over the entire financial doings of the nation of Egypt. ![]() I wanna be better than where I was before. I don't wanna go back to where I came from. People talk about God bringing you back to where you were. He was eradicated out of his element and placed back up into a place of prominence beyond what had preceded him. And he was lied on in the house of Potiphar and had to flee there and ended up in prison and in jail for something he didn't do, stayed in jail and served God in jail, and finally justice prevailed. He'd been thrown into a pit and then worked in Potiphar's house. You might remember, in fact, that he had gone through adversity and been rejected from his brethren, and his coat had been ripped away from him. I might remind you just in a way of review of understanding that God had manipulated Joseph's entire life to put him in a position so that when his siblings and his father faced famine Joseph would be strategically placed in a position to influence and change their family. I pray that it will touch you, and I'll be back at the end to share more. ![]() It's almost like he's workin' while we're walking, and you think, you know, won't you just wait? No, no, no, in the middle of the most uncomfortable moments of your life God is always up to something, so the message today is the "Secret Agent of Change". ![]() God often does his work while we are in transition. Now understand we are all in the process of change. The message is called "Secret Agent of Change".
