- To cross over to a better place.
- We should all transition to a better.
- That’s the essence of the Scriptures read — To: Grow; Mature; Change, Transition into the image of Christ.

“…lleguemos a la plena y completa medida de Cristo.” - Efesios 4:13
- Those of us willing to transition for better could experience a “friend relationship” with Jesus.
- We who believe in God are privileged to have His Word — there’s no greater wisdom.

- Do you believe in who you are?
- Since kids we were asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”
- The moment comes when a truth comes to light.
- The truth of how we can be a positive influence.
- I grew up in a Christian home — in church.
- I grew up believing that I could be a good Christian — healthy goal for every Christian.
- Within reaching that goal is what I aspired to be--
- -the means of how I was going to reach that goal.
- It was when my father introduced me to the piano, that I understood — the bulb turned on.
- & so I believe that my life and my eternity is a testimony of being musician for God, exclusively.
- Praise God for those who’ve been ministered to & inspired through my God-given gift-musicianship.
[STORY]
- Joseph was a very special person.
- Maybe on the spoiled side - favorite of his father.
- Some consider him true continuation of lineage.
- Joseph is firstborn of Rachel, who Jacob loved.
- His father gifted him a coat of many colors.
- Many comment that the colors represented the 12 sons—12 Hebrew tribes—form the nation of Israel.
- Joseph was also gifted—dreams & interpretation.
- NT doctrine gives greater illumination.
- However, for Joseph, the interpretations caused jealousy amongst his 10 older brothers.
- They sold him into into slavery.
- Slave merchants sold him to Potiphar - chief of pharaoh’s guards.
- There’s a misunderstanding involving the wife.
- Joseph winds up in prison.
- In prison is when he interprets the dreams of the cup-bearer and the baker.
- Eventually Joseph is brought before the pharaoh.
- He had dreams that needed interpreting.
- Joseph, not only interprets the pharaohs dreams, but the principle of the interpretation continues to be sound economic stewardship today.
“Ahorra en los tiempos buenos, así tendrás algo que gastar en el momento malo”
- Joseph was truly gifted in having dreams and interpreting them.
- He was very special, and he believed that he was.
- From Dreamer in Canaan to Dreamer in Egypt.
- Let’s learn from Joseph. Some points that helped him transition to a position of great power.

DIOS Y YO CREEMOS EN QUIEN YO SOY
iTRUST and iWORSHIP God - From the Pit to the Palace
yoCONFIO y yoADORO a Dios - Desde el Hoyo Hasta el Palacio
Joseph -Living the life – 17 years old – loves his father -brothers become jealous -throw him in a pit
Thrown into a pit - they take away his robe. Joseph saw their looks, heard the words of jealousy, heard their mocking, laughs and threats to kill him, the awfulness of sin. But there in that pit, God provided a way out.
Sold into slavery –. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. 5 From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. She grabbed his cloak and As he pulls away she had it in her hands. Potiphar’s wife lied and said that Joseph tried to commit adultery with her.
Thrown into prison - 20 So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and there he remained. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden. 22 Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison. 23 The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed. Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dream, the Pharoah dresses him in fine linen clothing, and saves not only Egypt but ultimately all countries.
In the pit - God provided a way out for Joseph. We find ourselves in the pit – same as Joseph (looks, jealousy, mocking, laughs, sin, temptation). We know sin has no hold on us. God provides a way out. Joseph’s brothers could not kill his dream. Don’t let anyone kill your dreams. In the pit, lift up your eyes.
Psalms 121
1 I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! 7 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. 8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
Salmo 121
1. Levanto la vista hacia las montañas; ¿viene de allí mi ayuda? 2 ¡Mi ayuda viene del Señor, quien hizo el cielo y la tierra! 7 El Señor te libra de todo mal y cuida tu vida. 8 El Señor te protege al entrar y al salir, ahora y para siempre.
In slavery - God was with Joseph. He succeeded in everything he did. Wherever you may be, God is with you. He was falsely accused just as the devil does with us. But no matter the lies of the devil, God is your shelter, your place of refuge. You are not alone!
Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 4 He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Salmo 91
1. Los que viven al amparo del Altísimo encontrarán descanso a la sombra del Todopoderoso. 2 Declaro lo siguiente acerca del Señor: Solo él es mi refugio, mi lugar seguro; él es mi Dios y en él confío. 3 Te rescatará de toda trampa y te protegerá de enfermedades mortales. 4 Con sus plumas te cubrirá y con sus alas te dará refugio. Sus fieles promesas son tu armadura y tu protección.
In prison - God shows Joseph His faithful love. He provided a way out for him and his family. God provided an audience with the king! And today He provides full access to Him thru his son, Jesus, the King of kings who loves us and saved us.
Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
Salmo 40
1 Con paciencia esperé que el Señor me ayudara, y él se fijó en mí y oyó mi clamor. 2 Me sacó del foso de desesperación, del lodo y del fango. Puso mis pies sobre suelo firme y a medida que yo caminaba, me estabilizó. 3 Me dio un canto nuevo para entonar, un himno de alabanza a nuestro Dios. Muchos verán lo que él hizo y quedarán asombrados; pondrán su confianza en el Señor.
His robe and cloak were taken from Him but the king clothed him in fine linen. The enemy wants to take our royalty but God dresses us in his garments. Many can be affected by your reaction. What will you choose to do? Choose to trust in God and worship Him. Your worship in the middle of the pit, slavery, or prison can bring freedom to others who see the great things that God has done and is doing in you.
iTRUST and Worship God. That is true freedom!

The Unexpected Transition
La Transición Inesperada
We’ve been talking and focusing on transition and change. With transition we pray that growth and maturity comes, our mindset changes and we allow God to prune us along the way.
John 15:2
2He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
What happens when we don’t expect or want transition and God wills it to happen.
God sees potential, gifts and talents that sometimes we or others around us don’t see.
Through every Transition that Moses went through it was almost as if it was unexpected, if Moses would not have acted when the soldier was hurting the Israelite, then the book of Exodus would have been a different story.
Transition is personal and is part of life experience, it causes uncomfortable change in our lives and we can attribute God transitioning us in that moment.
For me one of the greatest and altering transitions in my life was when both of my parents died 4 yrs apart from each other.
Many thought that I was going to fall back in to the world and totally lose everything and everyone that was around me. Talk about unexpected.
This transition was painful and forced me to make decisions to stand and become the husband, father and priest that I needed to be.
These verses spoke to my life and helped me in this most difficult transition.
Isiah 41:9,10
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”; 10fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
God was with Moses in every transition of his life. Through every battle and circumstance that may have seemed impossible, if not for God.
And it is the same for us, that expected or unexpected transition comes, it sometimes is uncomfortable and inconvenient, but God is with us every step of the way.

And it is the same for us, that expected or unexpected transition comes, it sometimes is uncomfortable and inconvenient, but God is with us every step of the way.
The most important TRANSITION!
¡La TRANSICIÓN más importante!
“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” - Luke 22:20
“Esta copa es el nuevo pacto en Mi sangre, que por vosotros se derrama.” - Lucas 22:20
Communion is a reminder of the “New Covenant” we have in Jesus’ blood.
A covenant is: an agreement, a contract, between two parties.
A relationship between two partners who make binding promises to each other and work together to reach a common goal.
The Old Covenant is the agreement that God had made with the Israelites through Moses. Ex 24:5-8
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
Pues Dios ofreció a Jesús como el sacrificio por el pecado. Las personas son declaradas justas a los ojos de Dios cuando creen que Jesús sacrificó su vida al derramar su sangre.
Ephesians 2:8–9; 13
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 13But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.
Dios los salvó por su gracia cuando creyeron. Ustedes no tienen ningún mérito en eso; es un regalo de Dios. 9La salvación no es un premio por las cosas buenas que hayamos hecho, así que ninguno de nosotros puede jactarse de ser salvo. 13pero ahora han sido unidos a Cristo Jesús. Antes estaban muy lejos de Dios, pero ahora fueron acercados por medio de la sangre de Cristo.
John 1:29
John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
“Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Juan el Bautista vio que Jesús se le acercaba y dijo:
«¡Miren! ¡El Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo!
As humans we experience many transitions in life, transitions that we all have in common.
1.From newborn to toddler. 2.From toddler to school age.
3.From 11 – 12 to adolescence. 4.From adolescence to youth then young adult.
5.From single life to married life. 6.From husband & wife to parents.
7.From family without children to family with children.
The most important transition in the life of any human is:
...él los ha llamado a salir de la oscuridad y entrar en su luz maravillosa. 1Pedro 2:9b
Usually, when we hear "This cup is the new covenant in My blood" we think of forgiveness of sins.
Forgiveness is certainly included in the blessings secured by the death of our Lord.
However, that Jesus did not say "this cup is forgiveness in My blood." He said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood."
The new covenant is far more than forgiveness of sins.
God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
Dios mostró el gran amor que nos tiene al enviar a Cristo a morir por nosotros cuando todavía éramos pecadores.
Hebrews 8:12
And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.
Perdonaré sus maldades y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados.
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida; nadie puede ir al Padre si no es por medio de mí.
John 1:12
To all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
A todos los que creyeron en él y lo recibieron, les dio el derecho de llegar ser hijos Dios.
Our relationship with God is our salvation and is followed by spiritual growth.
And this is the way to have eternal life to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
Y la manera de tener vida eterna es conocerte a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien tú enviaste a la tierra.
Colossians 2:6-7
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
Por lo tanto, de la manera que recibieron a Cristo Jesús como Señor, ahora deben seguir sus pasos. 7Arráiguense profundamente en él y edifiquen toda la vida sobre él. Entonces la fe de ustedes se fortalecerá en la verdad que se les enseñó, y rebosarán de gratitud.
1Peter 2:2-3
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 3now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
Como bebés recién nacidos, deseen con ganas la leche espiritual pura para que crezcan a una experiencia plena de la salvación. Pidan a gritos ese alimento nutritivo 3ahora que han probado la bondad del Señor.
Once established, this relationship must be developed.
CONCLUSION Eph 3:17b
My roots will grow down into God’s love to keep me strong.
Mis raíces crecerán en el amor de Dios para mantenerme fuerte.

- The Old Covenant established laws and ceremonies, defined sin, and reveal God’s provision of forgiveness through sacrifice.
- The Old Covenant required blood sacrifices of animals.
- The Old Covenant required constant sacrifices as a reminder of the people’s sin.
- The Old Covenant never provided a full, complete sacrifice for sin.
- On faith in the shed blood of Christ to take away sin, not on repeated sacrifices or any other kind of work.

Forgiveness is certainly included in the blessings secured by the death of our Lord.
However, that Jesus did not say "this cup is forgiveness in My blood." He said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood."

Dios mostró el gran amor que nos tiene al enviar a Cristo a morir por nosotros cuando todavía éramos pecadores.
Hebrews 8:12
And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.
Perdonaré sus maldades y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados.

- Third is the internal work of God producing a godly life in and through us.
And this is the way to have eternal life to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
Y la manera de tener vida eterna es conocerte a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien tú enviaste a la tierra.
