Creflo DollarHOST
Wholeness defines prosperity, not just money.
Creflo DollarHOST
Remember Genesis 39, he said Joseph was a prosperous man because the Lord was with him, not because money was with him.
Creflo DollarHOST
He was prosperous because of his nearness with God.
Creflo DollarHOST
He was prosperous because the Lord was with him.
Marcus A. TaylorSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Joseph did this when Potiphar's wife tried to draw him into sexual sin.
Marcus A. TaylorSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Genesis 39 tells us that he left his garment and ran out of the house.
Marcus A. TaylorSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He protected his obedience before he protected his appearance, comfort or explanation.
Marcus A. TaylorSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Running from temptation can look very practical.
PaulaHOST
Yeah.
PaulaHOST
Well, the first one we find, there's probably, there's many, I'm sure, but these are the ones we picked out, is in Genesis 39, and it's Joseph and Potiphar's wife.
PaulaHOST
And most of us know this story.
PaulaHOST
We're familiar with it, if you've been in the church long enough.
DougHOST
Went to prison for it.
PaulaHOST
But what we can draw from this, the second part of it is that God's presence remains with the slandered.
PaulaHOST
And that's in Genesis 39, 21.
PaulaHOST
So you have to remember this because this is probably going to happen to you at some point, or maybe people that you love and you know.
Chris HippeHOST
All of a sudden, he gets thrown in the royal prison, providentially placed there.
Chris HippeHOST
Genesis 39, the Lord was with Joseph and showed him kindness.
Chris HippeHOST
Now, he's in jail.
Chris HippeHOST
Now, I don't know about you, but I put myself in Joseph's seat and I kind of go, man, how would I do this? Because it's like, how many different opportunities can I just be filled with rage and bitterness? How many people can wrong me? Here's Peter again saying, how many times should I forgive? Joseph actually lived forgiveness.
IanHOST
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6 to flee from sexual immorality.
IanHOST
Think of it, maybe think of the story of Joseph in Genesis 39.
IanHOST
If you're unaware, Joseph is having a rough go at this part of the story.
IanHOST
He was enslaved in Potiphar's household and Potiphar's wife, A woman with far more social power than him repeatedly presses him for sex.
Tim CarterHOST
We saw that last week.
Tim CarterHOST
And Genesis 39 reminds us that the Lord was with Joseph.
Tim CarterHOST
Even in prison, he raised up even so that the prison guards didn't have to worry about anything.
Tim CarterHOST
He took care of everything for them, just like he did for Potiphar's house.
SimeonHOST
And if Joseph had failed this test, he would have disappeared into the sands of time.
SimeonHOST
into the sands of Egypt and the story of Joseph's life would have been over as far as the biblical record is concerned I believe but Genesis 39 and we see Joseph's victory over Potiphar's wife and I'm going to read verse 1 to 12 we're going to pray and then we're going to ask the Lord's help for this very important portion of scripture Verse 1, and Joseph was brought down to Egypt and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites which had brought him down thither.
SimeonHOST
The Lord was with Joseph and he was a prosperous man and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
SimeonHOST
And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

SimeonHOST
Just learn to say no.
SimeonHOST
You still awake? This is where we're up to.
SimeonHOST
Boy, if there's one thing Genesis 38 and Genesis 39 teaches, it teaches that God's people ought to be pure.
SimeonHOST
We're living in a moral sewer today.
SimeonHOST
And I trust you remember last Sunday's message and the theme of Joseph resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife.
SimeonHOST
And it's in that context we pick up our reading in verse 13 of Genesis 39.
SimeonHOST
We will then read on into chapter 40, please.
SimeonHOST
The Bible reads, And it came to pass when she, that is Potiphar's wife, saw that he had left his garment in her hand and was fled forth.
SimeonHOST
Now, no doubt, I believe that one of the reasons the Spirit of God includes this chapter here is to give us a contrast to the life of Joseph.
SimeonHOST
Because you finish reading about Judah in Genesis 38, and what a breath of fresh air to come to Genesis 39 and to read about Joseph and his purity resisting the temptations from Potiphar, Potiphar's wife.
SimeonHOST
Remember that? Here you have Judas saying yes to temptation, let me just have it as quick as I can.
SimeonHOST
Then you have Joseph in chapter 39 saying no to temptation and living a pure life as a young man, praise God.
SimeonHOST
Here we have a 17 year old young man and he was seriously concerned about the wicked activities of his brothers look at verse 1 and 2 and Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger in the land of Canaan these are the generations of Jacob Joseph being 17 years old was feeding the flock with his brethren and the lab was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah his father's wives and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report So we get a sense right here very early of Joseph's purity, Joseph's concern for holiness.
SimeonHOST
And isn't it amazing how this would become one of the defining features of the life of Joseph? And it's going to be on full display in Genesis 39 where we see a young man saying no to Potiphar's wife.
SimeonHOST
But here we get an early sense of this.
SimeonHOST
I don't agree with certain commentators and preachers that say, oh, Joseph was being a tattletale and Joseph was being a dibba-dobba and Joseph was just full of arrogance and pride.
