Slide 2: Slide Discussion Prompts The dream of the Butler. Joseph’s Interpretation. How did Joseph know how to interpret the dreams? What was the result of Joseph interpreting the dreams? Pitfalls to Modern Day Dream Interpreters.
Slide 3: Dreams Told, Chief Butler Gen 40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
Slide 4: Butler’s Dream Continued And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Slide 5: Butler’s Dream Continued And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Slide 6: Dream Insights • The Butler saw a vine in his dream. • The vine had three branches. • The vine grew clusters of grapes with flowers. • Pharaoh's cup. • Pharaoh’s hand.
Slide 7: Joseph’s Interpretation Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou was his butler. Genesis 40:13 Pharaoh The King.
Slide 8: Questions to Ask How did Joseph know that the “Three Vines” meant “Three Days?” Joseph knew the circumstances to the dream. For in three days it was Pharaoh's birthday. God used the circumstances of the butler to help interpret the dream meaning. Genesis 40:20 Pharaohs birthday
Slide 9: Result of the Dream Interpretation Restoration was the result of the interpretation. God received the glory! Dream Symbols: Grapes, Vines, Flowers on the vine.
Slide 10: Pitfalls of Modern Day Dream Interpreters I was recently listening to a woman on a popular Christian television channel selling her laminated dream color coded symbol charts. She went on to say that she uses them mostly at New Age Carnival Fairs, where she gets a booth and interpret dreams. She went on to say that New Age interpreters call her a “Christian Mystic.”
Slide 11: The First Alarm The problem I see with this type of dream interpretation is that they do not know the circumstances of the person. Even if the person was questioned the circumstances, many will not tell the truth, or try to test the interpreter of dreams to know already, in order to see if they really interpret dreams or not. Most Modern Day Interpreters, interpret from color coded books or symbol Books—rather then genuine Wisdom from God, understanding their circumstances.
Slide 12: The Second Alarm God goes beyond the dream symbol meaning, to speak the “Dream message” which will always flow. People who use dream symbol catalogues, speaking dream symbol meanings alone…are foolish. They do not have Wisdom from God on the “Flow of the Dream Message.”
Slide 13: Tools For Interpretation 1. Prayer. 2. Dream Insights belong to God, not books. 3. Understanding circumstances to the dreamer. 4. God uses what we already know, according to our personality gifts. 5. Point the dreamer to God, not self promotion in ministry etc. Hang out with those who interpreted dreams in the Bible! You will be glad you did.
Slide 14: Thank you for visiting today! I pray this has been a blessing to you. Be sure to watch our other “Dream Interpretation” studies on this channel. Pray for one another in the Body of Christ that we all might walk in the maturity of Christ Jesus, looking to Him as our Author and Finisher of the Faith. Joseph…A man that thought he was alone, but he was never forgotten in God’s eyes. Joseph-Hated and rejected by many people…but never rejected of God. \0/
