What grows out of your life is determined by what your life is rooted in.

In this message from SWAT: Spiritual Warfare and Tactics, Pastor Dan continues through Acts 7, where Stephen is on trial for proclaiming Jesus and reminds his accusers of the story of Joseph.

Joseph was betrayed by his own brothers, rejected by his own family, and sold into slavery. Yet Scripture says something important:

God was with him.

Rejection did not mean God had abandoned Joseph. Even in slavery, suffering, and circumstances Joseph never would have chosen, God was still working, giving him wisdom and preparing him for what was ahead.  Live_2026-11-01_953am

Eventually, the brother who had been rejected became the very person God used to rescue the family that rejected him. What they intended for evil, God used for good. Joseph’s story ultimately points forward to Jesus — the Savior humanity rejected, yet the only One who can rescue us.  Live_2026-11-01_953am  Live_2026-11-01_953am

This message is a reminder that God’s promises extend beyond our circumstances, beyond opposition, and even beyond our lifetime. His promise unfolds in His timing, and no opposition can cancel what God has determined to accomplish.  Live_2026-11-01_953am  Live_2026-11-01_953am

So when life gets difficult, rejection comes, or you cannot see what God is doing, remember:

Rejection does not mean God has left you.
