Speaker 3: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.
Speaker 4: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a
Speaker 4: blessing and share it with a friend.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in
Speaker 3: your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to

Speaker 3: please stop buying. Be a part of one of our services.
Speaker 3: I'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home.
Speaker 3: I like to start with something funny, and I heard
Speaker 3: about this airplane.
Speaker 5: That was about to crash.
Speaker 3: There were four passengers but only three parachutes. First passenger said,
Speaker 3: I'm a leading heart surgeon. My patients need me. Took
Speaker 3: the first parachute and jumped. Second passenger said, I'm a
Speaker 3: rocket scientist, one of the smartest men alive.
Speaker 5: My country needs me.
Speaker 3: Took the second parachute and jumped the third passenger. Pope
Speaker 3: John Paul said to the fourth passenger, a ten year
Speaker 3: old boy scout son, I'm old and frail. I don't
Speaker 3: have much time left. You can have the last parachute.
Speaker 3: The boy scout says, sir, don't worry, there are still
Speaker 3: two parachutes left. The smartest man alive. He just jumped
Speaker 3: out with my backpack. Say it like you mean it.
Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 3: to talk to you today about pulled strings.
Speaker 5: It's easy to.
Speaker 3: Go through life wondering how things are going to work out,
Speaker 3: hoping we make right decisions, stressed over our finances, concerned
Speaker 3: about a child. But you don't have to worry about
Speaker 3: your future. Your life has been divinely orchestrated. God has
Speaker 3: determined the end from the beginning. He's already laid out
Speaker 3: your plan, drawn up your blueprint. He knows everything that's
Speaker 3: going to happen. The scripture says God works all things
Speaker 3: according to his will. It's not according to who likes you,
Speaker 3: according to what family you come from, according to even
Speaker 3: how many mistakes you've made it's according to his will.
Speaker 3: He is working behind the scenes, not only directing your steps,
Speaker 3: but he's directing the steps of the.
Speaker 5: People you need.
Speaker 3: He's not just in control of you. He's in control
Speaker 3: of your circumstances. Nothing randomly happens. You're not at the
Speaker 3: mercy of bad breaks. You don't have to get upset
Speaker 3: because a door closed. Give up on a dream because
Speaker 3: you went through a loss. God knew about it will
Speaker 3: and have allowed it if it wasn't on your blueprint.
Speaker 3: We may not like it, we don't understand it, but God.
Speaker 5: Knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3: It's not keeping you from your purpose. It's leading you
Speaker 3: to your purpose. And sometimes the reason God closes a
Speaker 3: door is because he's about to open a bigger door.
Speaker 3: Where we were was too small. We couldn't see it.
Speaker 3: We were happy. But God loves you too much to
Speaker 3: let you miss your destiny. His dream for your life
Speaker 3: is bigger than your own. That friend that left you,
Speaker 3: they didn't walk away on their own accord. God directed
Speaker 3: their steps. He moved them away because they were limiting
Speaker 3: your growth. They would have kept you from becoming who
Speaker 3: you were.
Speaker 5: Created to be.
Speaker 3: When you know your life is divinely orchestrated that nothing
Speaker 3: happens without God's permission. Then you don't get discouraged when
Speaker 3: things don't go your way. You know, God is it work, controlling, manipulating,
Speaker 3: arranging things according to his will. Now this takes faith
Speaker 3: because we can't see the blueprint. We don't know what
Speaker 3: God is up to. His ways are not our ways.
Speaker 3: All we know is the door closed. It wasn't fair.
Speaker 3: It set us back. What we can't see is really
Speaker 3: it's setting us up for something better. Or we were
Speaker 3: going along being our best, honoring God. Out of nowhere
Speaker 3: a promotion, a good break, a contract that catapults us ahead.
Speaker 3: We didn't see it coming, but God did.
Speaker 5: It was on the blueprint.
Speaker 3: You have no idea what God has in your future,
Speaker 3: the doors he's going to open, the people he's going
Speaker 3: to bring, the places he's going to take you. It
Speaker 3: may seem like you've reached your limits. You could never
Speaker 3: accomplish a dream, never get out of debt, never meet
Speaker 3: the right person.
Speaker 5: You don't know what God is up to.
Speaker 3: If he showed you the blueprint, if you could see
Speaker 3: into your future, it would amaze you.
Speaker 5: The good news is God.
Speaker 3: Is working it out You don't have to do this
Speaker 3: just in your own strength. Try to manipulate people, manipulate circumstances.
Speaker 3: You have someone manipulating things for you. It just so happens.
Speaker 3: He controls the universe.
Speaker 5: Why are you worrying? Why are you live in stress?
Speaker 3: The most tighed God is directing your steps, moving the
Speaker 3: wrong people out of the way, lining up the breaks
Speaker 3: you need, turning negative situations around. You don't have to worry.
Speaker 3: It's on the blueprint, Jeremiah said. God's plans for you
Speaker 3: are for good, to bring you to an expected end.
Speaker 3: You are not going to come to a random end.
Speaker 3: God is not up in the heaven thinking I wonder
Speaker 3: what's going to happen in their life. God has already
Speaker 3: established your end. Your steps are being ordered, You are
Speaker 3: at the right place at the right time.
Speaker 5: Everything is on schedule.
Speaker 3: All the details are coming together, and things may have
Speaker 3: happened that you don't understand.
Speaker 5: Stay in faith.
Speaker 3: It's on the plans. It may not make sense now,
Speaker 3: but when it comes together, it will make sense. His
Speaker 3: plan is in process. You don't have to be frustrated
Speaker 3: because it's not happening fast enough. Get upset because somebody
Speaker 3: did you wrong. The God who breathed life into you
Speaker 3: has not only established your end, but he is working
Speaker 3: all things according to his will. When I was a
Speaker 3: little boy, my father would travel overseas for a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks at a time to minister. When he returned home,
Speaker 3: my siblings and I were always so excited to see him,
Speaker 3: not just because we missed him, but because he always
Speaker 3: brought us a gift, something from that country. One trip,
Speaker 3: he opened his suitcase and he handed me a puppet.
Speaker 3: It was a cowboy made out of wood, had two
Speaker 3: gloves where you could put your fingers. All these strings
Speaker 3: were attached to different parts of the puppet. I could
Speaker 3: move my little finger, make the puppet wave. Move another
Speaker 3: finger and cause him to shake his head, move them
Speaker 3: all together, make him run, make him dance, make him
Speaker 3: lie down.
Speaker 5: I love this puppet.
Speaker 3: I would put on puppet shows for my little sister.
Speaker 3: I was behind the curtain, hidden. All she could see
Speaker 3: was the puppet. She would laugh when the puppet danced,
Speaker 3: wave when the puppet waved. She was so engrossed in
Speaker 3: the show she would forget I was pulling the strings.
Speaker 3: I was the one orchestrating his every move in the
Speaker 3: same way. You're not doing life on your own. God
Speaker 3: is behind the scenes, pulling the strings orchestrating your steps.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we think we got to where we are by ourselves,
Speaker 3: our talent, our strength, our determination. We don't realize God
Speaker 3: has been pulling strings our whole life, bringing talent out,
Speaker 3: giving us ability, causing us to shine. When we were tired,
Speaker 3: he pulled a string and lifted us. When we felt
Speaker 3: like quitting, he pulled a string and caused us to
Speaker 3: try again. When we didn't have the training, he pulled
Speaker 3: a string and gave us the position. When we're tempted
Speaker 3: to take the credit, think we did it on our own.
Speaker 3: It's good to look up and say, Father, thank you
Speaker 3: for pulling strings. I realize you're giving me strength, You're
Speaker 3: making me dance, You're causing me to shine. The great
Speaker 3: thing about God is he doesn't just have a string
Speaker 3: on you. He has a string on all of your
Speaker 3: so circumstances. Like in a puppet show, there's a string
Speaker 3: on the curtain, a string on the door, a string
Speaker 3: on the table. The person running the show can control
Speaker 3: everything on the stage. That's the way it is with God.
Speaker 3: He has a string on all your props. A string
Speaker 3: on everything you need. When it's your time to shine,
Speaker 3: God has a string on the curtain. He'll open that
Speaker 3: door and there you are. When he's ready for you
Speaker 3: to be promoted, he has a string on that promotion.
Speaker 3: He'll bring it to you. You're not feeling well, don't worry.
Speaker 3: God has a string on your healing. You've heard that
Speaker 3: phrase no strings attached with God.
Speaker 5: It is just the opposite.
Speaker 3: He has a string on everything on your stage. How
Speaker 3: did you get to where you are? It's very simple.
Speaker 3: God pulled the strings. How did my father rise out
Speaker 3: of poverty, no future to speak of, very little education,
Speaker 3: Yet he was able to leave that limited environment, go
Speaker 3: on to pastor great churches and live an abundant life.
Speaker 3: God pulled the strings. There was no way in the natural.
Speaker 3: All the odds were against him. But the one who
Speaker 3: controls your strings is not limited by the natural.
Speaker 5: He's supernatural.
Speaker 3: You can't see him. He's behind the scenes, but he's
Speaker 3: working all things according to his will. When God is
Speaker 3: ready to promote you, he doesn't check with your boss,
Speaker 3: he doesn't get approval from your family, he doesn't take
Speaker 3: a vote from your critics. He simply pulls the strings.
Speaker 3: He controls what doors open, He controls what breaks come
Speaker 3: your way. Don't be discouraged by your boss. God has
Speaker 3: a string on your boss. Don't lose sleep over those
Speaker 3: people who are against you. God has a string on
Speaker 3: who's trying to stop you. When it's time, he'll pull
Speaker 3: that string move them out of the way.
Speaker 5: You don't have to live.
Speaker 3: Stressed out because you have opposition and things haven't worked out.
Speaker 3: You're still connected. God has a string on you and
Speaker 3: everything that's affecting you. The psalmist said, God's hand is
Speaker 3: outstretched toward you when you're tempted to get discouraged.
Speaker 5: I think it's never going to work out.
Speaker 3: Just imagine God's hand outstretched above you, pulling strings, directing
Speaker 3: your steps, orchestrating your life. He not only has a
Speaker 3: string on you, he has a string on your finances.
Speaker 3: He has a string on your opportunities, on your house,
Speaker 3: on your health, on your family, on your promotion. Get ready,
Speaker 3: God is about to pull some strings. He's about to
Speaker 3: make things happen that you couldn't make happen. You didn't
Speaker 3: see it coming. The opposition was bigger. But God pulled
Speaker 3: a string and you came out with the victory. The
Speaker 3: medical report didn't look good. God pulled a stream. Now
Speaker 3: you're healthy. In Hall, the school said they had no
Speaker 3: more funds. God pulled a string and you received a scholarship.
Speaker 3: You'd been lonely a long time. God pulled a string,
Speaker 3: brought a divine connection. The stream puller is about to show.
Speaker 5: Out in your life.
Speaker 3: You're going to look back and say, like me, how
Speaker 3: did I get up here? I didn't have the training,
Speaker 3: the experience. I wasn't next in line. God pulled my strings.
Speaker 3: He brought ability out of me that I didn't know
Speaker 3: I had. You see me up here speaking, moving my hands.
Speaker 3: I know it's the stream puller, God working out his purpose.
Speaker 5: How did I meet Victoria?
Speaker 3: God pulled some strings When I needed a battery for
Speaker 3: my watch. I could have chosen any jewelry store, there
Speaker 3: are hundreds in Houston.
Speaker 5: But I just so happened to walk into.
Speaker 3: Her mother's jewelry store and there was Victoria waiting for me.
Speaker 5: With open arms.
Speaker 3: God pulled my stream that I had to help God
Speaker 3: pull her stream? What am I saying? Nothing randomly happens.
Speaker 3: Your steps are being ordered.
Speaker 5: I talked to a lady.
Speaker 3: Her son was in a special program in high school
Speaker 3: that was a part of a very prestigious university. If
Speaker 3: he did well, there was a chance he would receive
Speaker 3: a scholarship. But his father came down with an illness.
Speaker 3: He was so distracted that his grades dropped. He was
Speaker 3: normally an excellent student, at the top of his class,
Speaker 3: but now he was in danger of failing and having
Speaker 3: to leave the program.
Speaker 5: His mother knew it was because.
Speaker 3: Of the situation with his father, so she went to
Speaker 3: the school to explain what was going on. She was
Speaker 3: very concerned about how they would respond. They could have said,
Speaker 3: we have rules if he doesn't make the grades too bad,
Speaker 3: but the man in charge was his as can be.
Speaker 3: He said, we'll give your son free tutoring to help
Speaker 3: him get back on course. Should have cost thousands of dollars,
Speaker 3: but God pulled a stream caused that man to be
Speaker 3: good to them. The young man's grades came back up.
Speaker 3: He applied for college and was accepted into six universities.
Speaker 3: These were partial scholarships. He had not heard back from
Speaker 3: the school he really wanted to attend, been so long
Speaker 3: they thought that door had closed. But while he was
Speaker 3: making plans to attend another university, the main One emailed
Speaker 3: back and said that they were not only accepting him
Speaker 3: into their engineering school that was his dream, but they
Speaker 3: were giving him.
Speaker 5: A full scholarship.
Speaker 3: God knows how to pull the strings. You may not
Speaker 3: see how it can happen. Don't get discouraged. The string
Speaker 3: puller is at work. He has a string on all
Speaker 3: the doors you need to be opened, a string on
Speaker 3: all the people that need to be good to you.
Speaker 3: He's working out his purpose. Live from a place of peace,
Speaker 3: a place of rest. You don't have to manipulate things.
Speaker 3: God is manipulating them for you. Our job is to
Speaker 3: trust him. God, you're in control of my life. I
Speaker 3: know you're pulling the strings. You're opening doors no man
Speaker 3: can shut. You're bringing the right people, taking me to
Speaker 3: where I'm supposed to be. Well, Joel, I've had a
Speaker 3: lot of bad breaks, a lot of unfair situations. Haven't
Speaker 3: seen God pulling any strings for me. This is what
Speaker 3: happened with job. He was doing the right thing, honoring God.
Speaker 3: When the bottom fell out. He lost his health, lost
Speaker 3: his business, lost his family.
Speaker 5: Everything that could go wrong did.
Speaker 3: But life is not always fair, and on the way
Speaker 3: to our destiny there will be twist and turns things
Speaker 3: we don't understand. God doesn't send the trouble, but he
Speaker 3: allows things. You may get thrown into the fiery furnace,
Speaker 3: but God controls the thermostaff He won't let it take
Speaker 3: your life before your time. He has a string on
Speaker 3: the trouble, a string on the opposition. The scripture says
Speaker 3: Satan had to ask God for permission to test Joe.
Speaker 3: God told him yes, but he could only take it
Speaker 3: so far. This tells me God is not just in
Speaker 3: control of your life. He's in control of your enemies.
Speaker 3: Everything on your stage is on a stream. Not just
Speaker 3: the good things, the promotion, the blessings, the favor, but
Speaker 3: even the sickness, the betrayal, the bad breaks. They don't
Speaker 3: have total access in your life. They can't do whatever
Speaker 3: they want. They couldn't even be on your stage without permission.
Speaker 3: In difficult times, you have to remind yourself God is
Speaker 3: still working all things according to his will. The enemy
Speaker 3: didn't come in and somehow get a hold of your strings.
Speaker 3: He didn't wrestle away control. And now God is on
Speaker 3: the sidelines watching what's happening. Know your steps are still
Speaker 3: being ordered, and in the middle of this difficulty, Job said,
Speaker 3: I know my redeemer lives. He could have been complaining. Instead,
Speaker 3: he was saying, God, I know you're still on the throne.
Speaker 5: I know your.
Speaker 3: Hand is still outstretched toward me. I don't understand this,
Speaker 3: but I know you're still working all things according to
Speaker 3: your will. It's easy to give God thanks for pulling
Speaker 3: strings when things are going our way.
Speaker 5: It's easy to have a good attitude.
Speaker 3: But the real test comes in these tough times, when
Speaker 3: it feels like God has forgotten about you. That's when
Speaker 3: you have to dig your heels in and do like Job,
Speaker 3: I know my Redeemer lives. I know this didn't come
Speaker 3: to stay. It came to pass. When you stay in faith,
Speaker 3: God will not only pull your strings, but he'll pull
Speaker 3: the strings of that sickness, the strings.
Speaker 5: Of the opposition.
Speaker 3: He'll pull back what's hindering you. Nine months later, Job
Speaker 3: came out of that difficulty, not beat up and bedraggled.
Speaker 3: He didn't even come out the same. He came out
Speaker 3: with twice what he had before. When it was all over,
Speaker 3: Job said, I am convinced that nothing and no one
Speaker 3: can stop God's plan. You may be in a difficult time,
Speaker 3: but If Job were here now, he would tell you
Speaker 3: stay in peace. Nothing can stop God's plan.
Speaker 5: He has a string.
Speaker 3: On you, a string on the sickness, a string on
Speaker 3: the opposition life with Job. You're about to see God
Speaker 3: pull some strings. That sickness is about to turn around,
Speaker 3: That trouble at work is about to.
Speaker 5: Resolve in your favor.
Speaker 3: Those forces that are trying to stop you, I can
Speaker 3: see by faith God pulling them back and pulling healing
Speaker 3: to you, promotion to.
Speaker 5: You, favor to you.
Speaker 3: Get ready for some pulled strings, things that you couldn't
Speaker 3: make happen. It's the outstretched hand of God working all things,
Speaker 3: not according to your circumstances, but according to his will.
Speaker 3: His will is that you be healthy. His will is
Speaker 3: that you break the addiction. His will as you be
Speaker 3: free from the depression, His will as you rise higher,
Speaker 3: come out of debt, accomplish your dreams.
Speaker 5: What can stop our God?
Speaker 3: Do you think the trouble at work is bigger, the
Speaker 3: sickness is stronger, Those people are more powerful. They are
Speaker 3: palms in the hands of God. He has a string
Speaker 3: on them. That car that almost hits you, they swerved
Speaker 3: at the last moment. You don't know how they missed you.
Speaker 3: God pulled a string. He controls the universe. Moses asked
Speaker 3: God his name. He said, my name is I Am.
Speaker 3: He was saying, I am anything you need. I am protection,
Speaker 3: I am provision, I am healing, I am strength, I am.
Speaker 5: Favor, I am deliverance.
Speaker 3: Nothing can stand against our God, the most powerful force
Speaker 3: in the universe has a string on you. You are connected
Speaker 3: to the Creator.
Speaker 5: He's working out his purpose for your life.
Speaker 3: Quit worrying, think it is not going to happen, talking
Speaker 3: about how big the problem is. Start talking about how
Speaker 3: big your God is. When the thoughts say it's never
Speaker 3: going to work out, turn it around.
Speaker 5: Father. I want to thank you.
Speaker 3: That you're about to pull some strings in my life.
Speaker 3: Thank you that you're taking me where I could not
Speaker 3: go on my own. Joe, I don't think it's going
Speaker 3: to happen for me. I've made too many mistakes. I've
Speaker 3: gotten way off course. You think your mistakes can override
Speaker 3: God's will, that what you've done can cancel your blueprint,
Speaker 3: that somehow you can disconnect from this string. I say
Speaker 3: this respectfully. You're not that powerful. Just ask Jonah. God
Speaker 3: told him to go to the City of Nineveh and minister.
Speaker 5: He didn't want to go there. He got on a
Speaker 5: boat go in the other direction. A huge storm arose.
Speaker 5: He told the crew it was his fault.
Speaker 3: They threw him overboard. Should have been the end. But
Speaker 3: God had a string.
Speaker 5: On a big fish. Just so happened. The fish was
Speaker 5: waiting swallowed Jonah. He spent three days in the belly
Speaker 5: of the fish, the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 3: Third day, the fish came up spit Jonah on dry ground.
Speaker 5: First thing, God said, Jonah go to Nineveh. Gave him
Speaker 5: another chance.
Speaker 3: But I love that God not only had a string
Speaker 3: on Jonah, not only wouldn't let him go too far,
Speaker 3: but he had a string on the fish.
Speaker 5: God has a string on everything you need to fulfill
Speaker 5: your purpose.
Speaker 3: You may run, but you'll never get away from the string.
Speaker 5: It'll always pull you aback.
Speaker 3: God will have somebody or someone to keep you from
Speaker 3: missing your destiny. Years later, Jesus said, as Jonah was
Speaker 3: in the belly of the fish for three days, so
Speaker 3: I will be in the heart of the earth for
Speaker 3: three days. Jonah was a foreshadow of Christ. He didn't
Speaker 3: stay in the fish two days or four days, but
Speaker 3: on the third day he went down right on schedule,
Speaker 3: He came up right on schedule. What am I saying?
Speaker 3: Even when we make mistakes, God is still working all
Speaker 3: things according to his will. Maybe you have loved ones
Speaker 3: that are off course, children that aren't making good decisions.
Speaker 5: Don't worry.
Speaker 3: God has a string on them. He's not going to
Speaker 3: let them go too far. The scripture says God can
Speaker 3: turn the part of a king. That means God knows
Speaker 3: how to change people's minds. He knows how to get
Speaker 3: their attention. I talked to a man. He and his
Speaker 3: wife weren't getting along. They had separated. He was living
Speaker 3: in an apartment by himself. Months had gone by and
Speaker 3: he'd hit rock bottom. Didn't think he could go on.
Speaker 3: He just dropped his children off at school. He had
Speaker 3: a long drive to work. Normally, he would listen to
Speaker 3: country music on Sirius XM satellite radio, but that reminded
Speaker 3: him so much of what he and his wife did
Speaker 3: together just made him more depressed. So this day he
Speaker 3: tuned off the country station and was turning up to
Speaker 3: the channels in the one seventies to listen to a ballgame,
Speaker 3: just take his mind off of it. But when his
Speaker 3: radio came across Channel one twenty eight, our channel that
Speaker 3: plays our messages all day long.
Speaker 5: The radio got stuck.
Speaker 3: He pushed button after button after button. Nothing would let
Speaker 3: it change, turned the radio off back on, tried everything.
Speaker 3: No matter what he did, he couldn't get it off
Speaker 3: of one twenty eight. He was so frustrated. He thought,
Speaker 3: who is this God? I don't want to hear some minister.
Speaker 3: He started listening. I was talking about how God can
Speaker 3: restore things, how he has us in the palm of
Speaker 3: his hand, how our best days are still in front
Speaker 3: of us. He couldn't turn it off for the next hour.
Speaker 3: Those words of faith breathed new.
Speaker 5: Life back into his spirit.
Speaker 3: At the end, he gave his life to Christ.
Speaker 5: Was a new beginning. He went back home.
Speaker 3: God began to restore his marriage.
Speaker 5: Today he and his wife are back together.
Speaker 3: But that wasn't a coincidence, wasn't a lucky break. It
Speaker 3: was God pulling strings. God had a string on his radio,
Speaker 3: wouldn't let it change the channel, a string on him
Speaker 3: pulling him back. He said, Joel, I guess God was
Speaker 3: telling me, since you won't go to me, I'm going
Speaker 3: to come to you. Maybe you're hearing this because God
Speaker 3: has a string on you.
Speaker 5: He's pulling you back. It's not a coincidence.
Speaker 3: He's saying, I have a plan for your life. I'm
Speaker 3: bigger than what you're facing. You've tried it on your own.
Speaker 5: Come to me. I'll help you. I'll work it out.
Speaker 3: All you have to do is say God, my life
Speaker 3: is in your hands.
Speaker 5: I'm turning it over to you.
Speaker 3: When you trust God with your future, he'll take you
Speaker 3: where you couldn't go on your own. Like this man,
Speaker 3: God is about to pull some strings. Things you've been
Speaker 3: trying to make happen, a loved on and off course,
