You feel right at home, but thanks so much for in. Thank you again for coming out today. I, like sought where something funny- and I heard about elderly minister? He was dying. He sit for two. His members an hour s agent and a lawyer to come to his house when they arrived. He motion for both of them to sit on each side of the bed

They were very moved to be with the minister in his final moments at one. The more you said very sincerely, sir. Why did you choose both of us? The minister must stirred up some strengthen said: Jesus died, point two centres, that's how I want to go out of the Bible. Say it like you mean it. This My bible, I am It says I am. I have witnessed I can do What it says I can do today. I will be the word of God, our boldly confess and is alarming heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless! You want to talk to you today about strategically orders. Depths! God is not a random god he's not vague approximate. Maybe I'll do this. Maybe I'll who that God is precise, exact,

he's already laid out the plan for your life down to the smallest details. Just is God, strategically bring good breaks, promotion, the right people God will also use adversities. Disappointments, closed doors, to move us toward our destiny at the time You may not understand. We think this couldn't be God. I lost my biggest client I'm in a legal battle, muffin turned on me. No God, I have allowed it unless he had a purpose for it. Doesn't just randomly say, and we give them some heartache, a bad break. Let this person reject them. Oh God is routine. He may not have sent it, but if here out it. You can use it to? U advantage. I see the big picture for our lie. He knows what we're going to need in a month in a year and in twenty years

The scripture Samson wanted to marry a young lady from another. Try his parents We want him to do it, God had instructed them to not get involved with foreigners to stay with their own claim. But the scripture says his parents didn't realize the Lord Does it work in this creed. Being an opportunity to disrupt the Philistines, who ruled Israel at that time this: is a situation doesn't necessarily fit into our theology? I told them not to marry foreigners? Yet God was the one that lead Sampson to do God new years down the road he needed. Insider in the Philistines. Can to carry out his plane, here's my point, we're not always going to understand why something happens. True bay, is trusting God when it doesn't make sense.

Believing that he strategic that he knows what he's doing it may be uncomfortable Don't understand it but deep down, we have to know. If God allowed it, somehow is going to further us, ultimately toward our divine destiny problems. Twenty puts at this since the Lord is directing our steps, don't figure out. Everything that have then, along the way. Why did my business go down? Why did my child the trouble? Why did my relationship not work, as you may know, No, why? But you can come back to this. Core truth that God knows what he's doing here. And for your life is good and even in opposition like with Samson, God is creating opportunity somewhere down. The road is not going to work against you. It's going to work, for you

If you don't understand this principle, you'll live frustrated because their art, What in God's divine plan where it will look like go in the wrong direction. You're back is basing your goal. You know you're supposed to be go on this way, but your headed just the opposite. This is what fate is all about. Will you trust him when it seems, like you, go in the wrong way. Will you keep up attitude when you're playing for increase, but seeing decrease will you stay in faith? when you were the most qualified, but you got passed over fringe. God knows what he's He would have never allowed that it was going to keep you from your destiny. He's too strategic to just randomly put that into the plan for your lie. It may not seem good, but if you keep me, I ve been forward. One day you will see what God was up I've, in my own life. God

always take us the most logical way we think will go from aid the to see. That makes sense, that's logical but go ways are not our ways. He may take it from it'll be all the way up to are and then ACT to see then the end, then the air, if you could see the poor, and God has for your life on a map. It would not be in a straight line. Imagine a bunch of stepping stones They would start off straight toward your goal, then there's a term and another turn. Now your headed back to where you started, wrong direction. That makes sense, then there's a: u turn goes back a little higher than it did stamp on it. At some point, you could be honest. Being stone, God ordained for you. He strategically placed it before the foundation of time,

but the stone your on is facing the opposite direction of your go. It's easy to think George. This is not good. The plan, I'm going the wrong way. Why do these things keep happening to me? Stay in fame gods. Plane is not strange. There are curves detours. U turned shortcuts. God knows what he's doing he's put t generally directing your stance. It may be uncomfortable, but gods, the one that put the stepping stone there to all a part of his plane. We all want to go to a higher level. We all see more of God's favor, but sometimes you have to come off the map. That your own and go down in Hu, the valley not to stay not to live, but so you can go up to a higher amount. God has something better something bigger. You haven't, seen heard or imagine what God has in store, but too often we thank God, I'm going backwards.

You said higher and I'm goin lower use in writing. I'm sorry, in drought. Dont get discouraged goddess, simply bringing into down that one mountain, so you can go to a higher map. He is strategic clean positioning, you to see more of his goodness and if you will stay in fact, one you will look back and say it was good that I've got pushed out of that job. Or I would have been stuck in a limited environment. It was good that person left me or I would never met the love of model It was good. I went through the difficulty not only made me strong, not only developed, a greater competence in God, but in opposition God was creating opportunity he- was putting me in position for something bigger, something better something greater. We this principle in the life of Joseph God knew there was going to be a famine in the land, the Israelites,

survive without food from the Egyptians so years. Earlier, God put a dream in the part of a young man named Joseph. He would rule a nation ass, a teenager. He had the promised from God. His goal was in front of him. He started out right. He was this far. Favorite child we're in his coat of many colors headed toward his destiny but his brothers, very jealous of him. They threw him into appeared, eventually sold him into slavery. I'm sure Joseph thought, God, where are you? said I would lead a nation but now slave? This doesn't make sense the truth. He was in God's perfect will. He was just one of those stones facing the opposite direction. Here's the key! Those stones are temporary, that's not where your permanently hidden don't stay for

cost or where you are. If you isolate one stone, one bad boy, one disappointment dry season, you'll get better so that stone Simply one step in the plan: God has for your life. It is not the final piece got. Says his plans, for you are for good and not evil. The into your path is victory. Dreams fulfil promises, come into past Now, don't judge your future about one negative, stepping stone Joseph kept being his best kept honouring God, even though things work go in his way, He ended up. Second, in command of all of Egypt. The dream came to pass. Here's how strategic God is. There was a great famine in the land. Jacob Josephs Father thought that Joseph was dead. Haven't seen him in many years, Jacob too,

his other sums, to go to Egypt and If there is any way they could possibly by food, they were about to starve to death. God use the famine to see them to Egypt, they would have. Ever gone that way without the adversity In the same way, God will use draw seasons, disappointments, closed doors, to reposition us together as to where he wants us to be. God knows what's best for us, the brothers showed up palace and there was Joseph in charge of the food supply run in the whole nation some twenty years earlier, God strategically orchestrated also to be inside a foreign country. Not only so his dream could come to pass, but so that gods people could flourish in a time of fan that How precise God is he's looking years down the road

we can see a little way, but God no What you're gonna need thirty years from now The good news is, God lining up people today, the years later will be instrumental in you fulfilling your destiny. Nothing randomly happens. If Josephs Brothers Hatton rejected him, he would have never made it to the throne. Quit lose any sleep over people that don't accept you, people they try to make you look small, dismissed back to dismiss you. Listen if they weren't in your life, you could make it to your throng God, Dane them not to hold you back move you forward. They may think there shouldn't you down. Really there pushing you up. Maybe one of those stepping stones facing the wrong direction. It may set you back for a season, but don't worry a? U turn is coming at some point. You

This step pass. The stone a being rejected in lied about your past step, pass the stone of a bad break, a disappointment. Store and, like Joseph, you will step into promotion into a hundreds into new levels into the fullness of your destiny. Now my challenge, don't get stuck one of those negative stepping stones people's that were Joe, live God, so good. Why have the bed break in the first place? Why my child get off course Why am I still struggling at work, this net adversity? That difficulty is simply a test God strategically based you there. He would have never allowed it if you couldn't handle. It may be big challenge, but it no match for you. You are child of a most toggle. You have

armed with strength for every battle. You have the most powerful force in the universe. Breathing in your direction. Don't complain about today equality dig your heels in have the two I am in it to win it. I am not going to let what somebody said about me. This rejection, this break this closed door. This disappointment, this sickness calls me to get sour. I know it's a part of God's plan. He strategically placed me here it's all said and done is not going to against me, it's going to work for me, you That kind of attitude you better get ready like Joseph you're, not on this day in the pit in defeat in depression, in lack you headed to the throne, you're headed to victory, you ahead into the fullness of your destiny. Listen people can't stock bad breaks, can't stop disappointments, can't stop at all the four

this darkness cannot stop what God his strategically ordained for your life. Think about some of the stepping stones in josephs life. He had the promise the dream, then he would rule a nation a stone in the right direction. Then it was thrown into appeared, a stone, the opposite way, still part of God's plain pot offers wife lied about in. They put him in prison to stones going wrong, in prison a friend another inmate when he got out forgot all about Joseph another stone the wrong way. Joseph could have thought this is a pattern. This is destiny. These stones were gone. The wrong way. Ten years disappointments betrayals in June. This, surely he miss gods plain? No God is directing our steps not just when things are going our way, not just when the Wars open were promoted,

good to us, but even when the doors clubs, people aren't good to us, the report wasn't Those stones going in the wrong direction, are still the hand of God. My question is. Will you trust him? Even when you? don't understand, will you people good attitude, no one that is going to turn to your advantage, just like with Joseph You will come into your? U turn the same God that orchestrated him being betrayed, about thrown into appeared, orchestrated him being promoted, vindicate taken the throng fulfilling his dream. Listen don't be discouraged by what you going through. Your time is coming where you are is not wear your stay you may be in the valley, God allowed you to go there not to stay, but so you could come up. Higher mountain God.

New levels in store, for you India is the chapter. Fifteen God told me Israelites did. He was too them into a foreign land. They would be mistreated, suffer harm he was saying there will be negative stepping stones going in the wrong direction. You'll be timid, I think it'll never work out, but God gave them the promise. You'll go through difficulties, but afterwards you will come out with great condoms friends, there will always be, and afterwards every person goes through unfair situations uncomfortable times we don't like it, but it's part of God's plain if you keep passing the test doing the right thing when the wrong thing is happening afterwards, you will come out promoted increased, stronger, healthier happier, blessed with great abundance now

don't get discouraged by the problem. It's all a part of the process God uses to bring about the promise God is not going to bring it out he's going to bring out better he's directing your steps he's, dealing control of your life. Nothing- that's happened to. You is a surprise to gone. He allowed that difficulty not to defeat you but to promote you. God is saying to us what he said to the Israelites. If you will keep moving forward after the hardship after the break up after the disappointment there The great joy, great opportunities, great health, great relationships, great abundance, coming your way a few years after Victoria. Now we're married, we received an unexpected tat. Bill in the mail,

person. We hard to do our tax returns lived in another state. He was, unfamiliar with a certain tax law in Texas. Now we owed thousands of dollars we were a young couple, saving up for a down payment for a home, and this was going to take all of our funds to make matters worse. More than half of what we owed was because of penalties. Thank God. This is not fair, hard, a profession. He made a mess now I'm having to pay for his mistakes. This all happened around Christmas Update year. And we did our best to have a joyful spirit, but in the back of our minds, could always feel the weight of this problem. We ended up finding a man to help us get it straightened out? He was attacks attorney for a couple of weeks. He was at our house every night goin over documents filling out new forms. We would eat together, run errands together,

ended up becoming good friends. Ten years later, I was workin here at the church at Lake, What, in the television ministry of parents were the pastor, One service, a man came up, said George, my cousin has a construction permit for the last full power commercial Television station in Houston. He would like you to be a part of it. These station in a major market like Houston, is extremely valuable I was young, I didn't know, anything about negotiating a contract for a television station. Then I thought I'll call my attorney friend the one during the tax issue. Three, months later we had a contract. We put the station on the air father went to be with the more I became the password for years later we acquired this place. The former compact centre going to cost about a hundred million dollars to renovate we do so

and it to sell the station. We sold it for a huge profit, those Funds were instrumental in us being renovate this facility, but in all I started with that tax issue. What I thought was a setback was really sit up forgot to do something greater for a season. I was going the opposite direction, but if I had not had that problem, I would have never met the texts are turning without my attorney friend, I would have never pursued the television station without the station. We may not have had the funds to move into this facility that difficulty with strategically orchestrated by God at the time. I didn't understand, thank God. This is ruining our Christmas. This is not right. I could hear God whispering Jewel. Trust me I know what I'm doing it may be uncomfortable. You may not like it, but it's ultimately going to work too,

advantage the longer earlier, the more our realise everything is working for a good. We don't like that, disappointment with all like when a friend betrays, we don't like a closed door, but if it didn't happen you wouldn't into the fullness of your destiny I know a gentleman he's in his late seven these and he was in his bed. On a ladder taken. Heavy mirror off the wall. He got the mirror but when he did, he lost his balance and begin to fall backwards he threw the mirror over. When are you fail? He hit the dresser any broke a bunch of his ribs. It took him to the house, fill the doktor just so happened to notice the maid an artery and his neck was ninety eight percent blocked. In a moment he could have a major stroke, probably not survive the cat

The olive just told him Euro walk in time bomb. We ve got to do a procedure right now. They did that procedure. Everything went well. A point is if he had not had the full without that difficulty he wouldn't have known. That he was in great danger. See every set back is not the enemy. We don't like the disappointments. The unconscious. Full times, but when you realise gaudy strategically directing your stamps, nothing can happen without permission, then you will not be forthright friends. The enemy is not in control of your life. Goddess control of your life and, yes, there are forces of darkness, it come against us, but like with job Satan, asked permission to even test Joe. If that disappointing, that break was going to serve no purpose. God would have never allowed quit fighting everything that doesn't go you.

God has you in the palm of his hand, nothing can. That you away you not like what you ve gone through, but every difficulty has deposit something on the inside. You would, we who you are today or where you are today. Without the difficult times in that opposition. God was creating opportunity. He was developing, repositioning. You getting you prepared for greater abundance, a while back. Victoria lost a ring that her mother had given her. The diamond band that had been in the family for several generations Sometimes, when we would travel Victoria, We had the ring different places in the house. So for months and months we searched everywhere. We looked in every drawer, every cabinet, every part I took out every seat cushion look,

The officer came up and

She finally pulled everything. Out of the glove compartment started digging around back in there, and you got the officer standing, They are very nerve racking, the middle of the night. You couldn't see anything it was maneuver nor hand back and forth. In one point, she felt something sharp way down in a crack. What is this she struggled and struggled finally got it out. It was the way she had been look before for three and a half years. I still don't understand why? God use my pain to find her ring modes. Is Victoria was so excited. She forgot all about the insurance car she was over there rejoicing in your eyes about

Go to jail, see ended up finding the current insurance card that we needed on the very top of the staff. It was one of the first thing she look there it was almost like God caused her to overlook handed it to the officer. He said, are you that minister? I said I am. He said if I come to you listen! We! You save me! I see in your charge. I said save you a whole section handed back good night, be careful, you can go. Sometimes what we think is a setback is really a centre, for do something great, I knew we would never dig way back in that Glove Box in this always upheld officer. Standing there in the middle of the night. God works mysterious ways everything about, your life has been strategically ordained. You mean
