Concerned about a child, but you don't have to worry about your future. Your life has been divinely orchestrating. God has determine the issue from the beginning, he's already laid out your plan drawn up your blueprint. He knows everything that's going to happen. The scripture says: God works all things according to his will not according to who, like shoe quoting the what family you come from, according to even how many mistakes you may it's according to his will. He is working behind the scenes, not only directing your steps but he's directing the steps of the people you need he's not just in control. You he's in control of your circumstances, nothing
randomly happens: you're not at the mercy of banned breaks. You don't have to get upset because a door closed, give on a dream, but could you went to a loss? God knew about it. Wouldn't have allowed it. If it wasn't on new blueprint, we may not like it We don't understand it, but God knows what he's doing it's not keeping you from your purpose its leading you to your purpose in something The reason God closes the door is because he's about to open a bigger door, where we were was too small. We couldn't see it. We were happy, but God loves you much to let you miss your destiny. His for your life is bigger than your that foreign that left you they didn't. We away on their own accord. God directed their stamps here moved them away.
They were limiting your growth. They would have kept you from becoming who you were created to be when you know, your life is divinely, orchestrated that nothing happens without gods permission, then you dont get discourage when things don't go your way, you know, God is it work controlling, manipulating arranging things according to his will. Now this takes faith because we can't see the blueprint we don't know what, God is up to his ways are not our ways. All we know is the door closed. It wasn't fair. It set us back what we can c is really it's setting us up for something better or We were going along, be in our best. Marine God out of nowhere a promotion, a good break, a contract that catapult us a hand
We didn't see it coming, but God did. It was on the blueprint. You have no idea what God has in your future: nor she's going to open the people he's going to bring the places he's going to take It may seem, like you, ve, reached your limits. You could never accomplish a dream, never get out of. There never meet the right person. You don't know what God is up too. If he showed did the blueprint. If you could see India future. It would a maze you. The good news is, God is working out. You don't have to do this. Just in your own strength. Trotted manipulate people manipulate circumstances. You have one manipulating things for you it just so happens. He controls the universe. Why are you worry? Why are you live and stress? The most tat God is directed
your stamps move in the wrong people out of the way land and up the brakes. You need harness negative situations around. You don't have to worry it's on the blueprint Jeremiah, said gods plan for you are for good to bring you to unexpected in Europe. Not going to come to a random end. God is not up in the heavens thinkin. I wonder. What's gonna happen in their life. God has already established your in your steps are being ordered. You are at the right place at the right time. Everything is own sketch
All the details are coming together and things may have happened it you don't understand, stay in faith, it's on the plans it may not make since now, but when it comes together, it will make sense. His plan is in process, you don't have to be frustrated because it's not happening fast enough. Get upset because somebody did you wrong? The God who breathe life into view has not only established you're in He is work in all things. According to his will When I was a little boy, my father would travel overseas for a couple of weeks at a time to minister when he returned home
my siblings and I were always so excited to see him not just because we missed him, but because he always brought us a gift, something from that country. One trip he opened his suitcase any handed me a puppet. It was a cowboy made out of wood had to gloves where you can put your fingers. All these strings were attached to different parts of the puppet. I could move my little finger. Make the puppet wave move. Another fingered cause them to because had moved them all together. Make him wrong. Make him dance make him lie down. I love this pop. I would put on puppet shows for my little sister hours behind the curtain, hidden she could see was the puppy. She would laugh when the puppet danced and wave when the puppet way.
She was so engrossed in the show she would forget. How was pulling the strings. I was the one orchestrating has every move. In the same way, you not do in life. In your own. God is the scenes, pull in the three orchestrating your step. Sometimes we think we got to where we are bar sales are talent, our screen, our determination. We don't realize God has been pulling strings. Our whole lie bring in talent now giving us a bullet. Causing the sunshine? When we were tar, he pulled a string and lifted us when we felt like quitting, he pulled a string and caused us to try again when we didn't have the train. He pulled his three and gave us the position when we're tempted to take the credit think we did it on our own
good to look up and so father. Thank you for pulling strings. I realize you're giving me a story. You make me dance. You cause me to shine the great thing about God. Is he does it Have a string own you? He has streaming on all of your circumstances, lacking a puppet show. There's a string on the carton, a string on the door, a string on the table The person running the show can control everything on the stage That's the way it is with God. He has a string on all your prompts, a string on everything you need when it's your time to shine. God has a string on the carton, he'll open that door, and there you are, When he's ready for you to be promoted, he has a string on that promotion. You'll bring it to you,
you're not feeling. Well, don't worry, God has a string on your Healy. You heard that phrase no strings attached with God. It's just that opposite. He has a string on everything on your stage. How did you to where you are very simple: God pull the strings. How did my father rise out of poverty? No future to speak very little education, yet he was able to leave that limited environment. Go on the past. Your great churches- and an abundant lie. God pull the strings. There was no way in the natural. All the odds were against him but the one who controls your strings is not limited by the natural he's supernatural. You can't see him he's behind the scenes, but he's working
all things according to his will, when God is ready to promote you, he doesn't check with your boss. He doesn't get approval from your family. He doesn't take a vote from your critics. Simply pause the strange he controls what doors open he controls. What breaks come your way. Discouraged by your boss. God has string on your boss. No loosely over those people who are against you. God has streaming on who's. Trying to stop p. When it's time you pull that spring move them out of the way you don't have to live stressed out, because you have opposition and things haven't worked out. You're still met. Did God has a string own you and everything that's affecting here. The psalmist said gods, hand is outstretched towards you when you're tempted to get discouraged
think is never going to work out. Just imagine God's hand outstretched above you pull in streams, directing your steps orchestrating your life He not only has a string or new, he has a story. On your finances. He has a string. On your opportunities on your house on your health on your family, on your promotion, get ready It is about the pool some streams he's about to make things happen that you couldn't make happen you didn't see it coming. The opposition was bigger, but God pull the stream and you came out with a victory the medical report. Look good, God pulled a string now, you're, healthy and home. The schools they had no more farms, God pulled a string you received a scholarship you ve been lonely along time, God pulled a string, brought a divine connection, the string polar is about to
go out in your life, you gonna look. And say like me: how did I get up here? I didn't have the training, the experience. I wasn't next in line God pull my streams here what ability out of me that I didn't know, I have you see me up here speaking, in my hands, I know it The string, poor God workin out his purpose. How did I make Victoria? God, Paulson strains when I needed a battery for my watch, I could have chosen any jewelry store. There are hundreds in Houston, but I'm just so happen too kinda her mothers jewelry store, and there was Victoria waiting for me with open arms God poor must ring, but I had to help God pull her three. What am I saying? Nothing randomly happens, you're steps or be in order
Talk to a lady. Her son was in a special programme in high school. There was a part of a very prestigious university, If you did well, there was a chance he would receive a scholarship, but his father came down with an ill. He was so distracted that his great dropped, He was normally an excellent student at the top of his class, but now he was in danger of failing in having to leave the programme. His mother knew. It was because of the situation with his father. So she went the school to explain what was going on. It was very concerned about how they would respond. Could have said. We have rules, we didn't make the grades to bad, but the man in charge was his kind, as can be
he said, will give your son free tutoring to help him get back on course, should have cost thousands of dollars, but God pulled a stream calls that man to be good to then the young man's grades came back up. He applied for college and was accepted in the six universities. These were partial skull ships. He had not heard back from the school. He really wanted to attend been so long. They thought that door closed, but while. Was making plans to attend another university the main one email back and said that we're not only accepting him into their engineering school. That was his dream, but they were giving him a full scholarship. God knows how to pull the strings. You may not. How it can happen, don't get discourage the string. Polar is at war, He has a string when all the doors you need to be open
string on all the people that need to be good de he's working out. His purpose live from a place of peace, a place of rest. You don't have to manipulate things. God is manipulating them for you, our job, the trust in God you're in control of my life. I know you're pulling the strings, you're opening doors. No man can show you are bringing the right people taken me to wear I'm. So to be well jewel. I've had a lot of bad breaks, Laura unfair situations. Heaven seen God, Poland any strings. For me, this is what happened with Joe. He was doing the right thing, honouring God when the bottom fell out. He lost his health. Lost his business lost his family. Everything that could go wrong did, but life is not always fair
and on the way to our destiny, there will be twists and turns things we don't understand. God doesn't sin the trouble, but he allows things you may get thrown into the fiery foreigners, but God can close the thermostat. He won't. Let it take your lie before your time here swinging on the trouble, a string on the opposition. The scripture says Saint and had to ask God for permission to s job. God told him yes, but he could only take it so far This tells me, God is not just thinking all of your life he's in control of your enemies.
Everything on your stage is on a stream, not just the good things, the promotion, the blessings that favour, but even the sickness, the betrayal, the bad breaks they dont have total access in your line. They can't do whatever they want. They couldn't even be on your stage with permission in difficult times. You have to remind yourself, God is still work in all things. According to his will, the enemy didn't come in and somehow get ahold of your strings. He didn't wrestle away control, and now there's on the sidelines watching what's happening now, your step, or still be an order in the middle of this difficulty. Job said, I know my redeemer lives. He could have been complaining. Instead, he was saying god I know you're still on the throne. I know your hand is still out stress to war
I don't understand this, but I know you're still. Work in all things. According to your will it's easy to give God thanks for Poland, brings when things are going our way, Deasey to have a good attitude, but the real test comes in these tough times when it feels, like God, has forgotten about ass when they have to dig. Heels in and do like Joe no, my redeemer lives. I know this didn't come to stay. It came to pass when stay in faith. God will not only pull your strings but he'll pull the strings of that sickness the strings of the opposition he'll pull back. What's hindering. Nine months later, job came out of that difficulty not beat up in bedraggled. He didn't even come out the same. He came out with tee what he had before when it was all over job said. I am convinced that enough
and no one can stop gods plan. You may be in a difficult time, but if Joe were here now, he would tell you stay in peace. Nothing Stop gods plain. He has a string on you, a story. On the sickness, a screen on the opposition life with Joe you're about to see God pull some strings. That sickness is about to turn around that trouble at work is about to resolve in your favour, those forces and are trying to stop you. I can see by Fate God, Poland, in back and pulling healing the? U promotion. Do you favour to you get ready for some pulled streams, things that you couldn't make happened. It's the outstretched hand. Work in all things, not according to your circumstances, but according to his will his will is that you be healthy.
His will visit you brightly addiction. His will, as you be free from the depression his will. As you rise higher, come out of debt. Accomplish your dreams. What can stop our God? Do you think the trouble at work is bigger? The sickness is stronger. Those people are more powerful pawns in the hands of God. He has a string on them. That call that almost hit you, they swarmed with a laugh moment. You don't know how they missed you, God pulled a stream, he could the universe low. It s got his name, he said my name is: he was saying. I am anything you need. I am protection provision, I am Healy. I am. I am baby. I am deliverance. Nothing can stand against all gone the most powerful force in the EU
of ours has streaming on you. You are connected to the creator. He's working out his purpose, pull your line, quit worryin. They get it's not going to happen. Talking about how big the problem is start talking about how big you, God is, when the thought say it's never going to work out turn it around father. I want to thank you that you're about to pull some strings in my life. Thank you that you're taking me where I could not go on my door. I don't think he's gonna happen from me. I've made too many mistakes. I've gotten way. Of course. Do you think your mistakes can override God's will? that's what you ve done can cancel your blue plan that somehow you can disconnect from this stream. I say this respectfully you're, not that powerful, just ass Jonah,
God told him to go to the city of Nineveh and Minister, he didn't want to go there. He got on a boat, go in the other direction, huge storm arose. He told the crew his fault. They threw him overboard should have been the end, but God had streaming on a big fish Just so happened. The fish was waiting swallow Jonah. He spent three days in the belly of the at the bottom of the ocean. Third day, the fish came up spit Jonah on dry ground. First thing, God said: Jonah go to Nineveh, gave him another chance, but I love that God not only had a string on Germany now, they wouldn't let him go too far, but he had a string on the fish God has a string on everything you need to fulfil your purpose you may IRAN, but you'll never get. Way from the strain it always polio. Back gotta have somebody or so
want to keep you permits in your destiny years later. Jesus said as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days, so I will be in the heart of the earth for three days. Jonah was a foreshadow of Christ. He didn't stay in the fish two days or forty but on the third day he went down right on schedule. He came up right on schedule What am I saying even We make mistakes. God is we'll work in all things. According to his will, maybe you have loved ones that are, of course, children that are making good decisions Worry God has a string on them, he's not going to let them go too far. The scripture says, God can turn the heart of a key at means. God knows how to change people's minds. He knows how to get their attention
I talked to a man. He is why weren't getting along they had separated. He was living in an apartment by himself. Months have gone by and hid hit. Rock bottom didn't think he could go on it. Just dropped. His children, often school. He had a long drive to work. Normally, He would listen to country music on Syria, Sex am satellite radio, but that did him so much of what he and his wife did together, just maybe more depressed? So this day he turned off the country station and was too up to the channels in the one seventys to listen to a ball game. Just take his mind off of it but when his radio came across Channel one twenty eight hour channel that place our message He's all day long. The radio got stuck. He pushed button after burden after button. Now
and would lead to change, turned the radio all back on track everything, no matter what he did. He couldn't get it off of one twenty eight he was so frustrating He thought who is this guy? I don't want to hear some minister. He started listening. I was talking about how God can restore things, how he has its in the palm of his hand. Our best days are still in front of us. He couldn't turn at all for the our those words of faith. We knew lie back into his spirit. At the end he gave his life to cries was a new beginning. He went back home. God begin to restore his marriage today here in his, why our backing either, but that wasn't a coincidence wasn't a lucky break. It was God, Poland, Streams, God had us being on his radio, wouldn't let it changed the channel a string on him, Poland, him back. He said Joe, I guess God was Tellin me
you won't go to me. I'm going to come to you. Maybe your hearing, this because God has a string or new he's, pull a new back. So not a coincidence, he's saying I have a plan for your life, a bigger than what you're facing you, ve tried it on your all, come to me I'll help you out work it out. All you have to do is say my life is in your hands. I'm turned it over to you when you trust God with your future. He'll. Take you where you couldn't go on your own, like this man, God is about to pull some streams things you ve been trying to make happen, a loved one off course. They won't listen to you. Don't worry God has a string on them, he's about to pull them back. As for you and your house, you will serve the law. Doors. You couldn't open, you try, you did your best, don't worry
