God-given dreams don't expire—they develop. When what you believed God promised seems impossibly delayed, doubt creeps in. Has the dream died? Did you misunderstand? In this profound teaching, Bishop Houston unpacks Joseph's remarkable 13-year journey from dreamer to prisoner to prime minister, revealing how every apparent setback was actually divine preparation.

Drawing from Genesis 37, Bishop Houston challenges our culture's obsession with immediacy and instant results. Through powerful scriptural examples—from Abraham's 25-year wait for Isaac to Moses' 40 wilderness years—we discover that God's timeline rarely aligns with our expectations. What feels like denial is often development. What appears as delay is God expanding your capacity to carry the very weight of the vision He planted.

Bishop Houston vulnerably shares his own ministry journey through closed doors, opposition, and character assassination. The breakthrough came when God revealed: "I'm not holding your vision back, I'm maturing your vessel." This transformative insight shifted everything, demonstrating how the most painful seasons of preparation become the foundation for powerful manifestation.

The Hebrew concept of "becoming" rather than merely "being" provides a revolutionary framework for understanding your spiritual journey. Your dream isn't just about reaching a destination—it's about who God shapes you to become through each trial, disappointment, and victory along the way.

If you're battling discouragement over delayed promises, this message offers resurrection faith for dreams you thought were dead. Remember: dreams don't die from getting old—they die from being abandoned. Your prison may be God's classroom, preparing you for your palace season. Serve faithfully where you are, and watch God breathe new life into every vision that once seemed impossible.
