Broken plans? Unmet expectations? Get ready for a plot twist.

In this sermon, Pastor Steven Furtick turns to John 4 to show us that, when we think we know how our story will end, God moves beyond what we could ask or imagine.

He turned the ostracized woman at the well into a messenger to her people. He turned Joseph, the son sold into slavery, into the savior of countless lives. Out of Jacob’s mistakes, He produced the nation of Israel.

He doesn’t meet our expectations; He exceeds them.

    This is second time I’m watching this message, I saw it yesterday live and today. It’s such a message I need for this season of my life. Thank you Pastor Steven for this word. Plot twist my marriage is going to survive and be stronger than ever, plot twist I will get the right job that would still enable me to spend time with my 5 months old daughter. Plot twist God is going to do a new thing for me in the eyes of my enemies.

    Day 3 no smoking no alcohol since new years praise iv been set free praise my redeemer the holy and anointed one
  • PLOT TWIST!!! Friday the Dr diagnosed my mom with cervical cancer, Monday the tests came back negative, Praise the lord. The Dr still cannot understand how the tests came back negative yet he saw something on the sonar. He still insists my mom must go for more tests, but the God of the PLOT TWIST has already done the miracle in my mom's body. He has turned things around. Thank you Jesus!! 🙌🙌👏🙏

    I’m in shock right now, it’s insane how God is using you to speak into my life and help give me direction

    Thank you so much for this word. I’m 22, and I recently went through a break up, and in the midst of the break up I found out I am pregnant. Before I found out I was pregnant, I was truly leaning into my faith and getting to know Him again. I made a mistake, but I believe God will make it and turn it into something beautiful. I truly believe babies are a gift from God. Please, pray for me. ❤️

    I'm praying so deeply for my marriage and my husband. I need a plot twist! God, only you can work in my husband's heart and have mercy and blessing for our marriage. I won't give up, God. Just as you will never give up on me.

    I was meant to see this . I've been in a very negative space grappling with severe anxiety and depression over my failures and stagnation . I am free! My GOD is a GOD of unexpected blessing. I've been waiting for years for a "Plot twist". Thank you for this word!!
  • I believe in the God of plot twist!!! He takes what the enemy meant for evil and turns it for good! 💙💙💙
  • Thank you, Pastor. You don't know this, but every so often God uses you to lift me up from the ground. Tonight, He dug me out of a pit.
  • @Tmile78
    I'm still alive. Even if the enemy thought he had an upper hand. My daughter will be with me again
  • I just listened to this message and I don't even know what to say , except that the amount of pain I have been in can't even be measured even so among the loss . I have not cried except one other time , listening to TJ Jake's in the past 10 years . I have ruined everything I've touched in the past 39 years. For the last two weeks all's I've been saying is I don't have enough I don't know enough for my family I don't have enough for my kids but I'm going to for God . I've never felt so lost and ready to give up. The bondage I've been under has been so heavy. Everyone's counting me out And to be honest I even counted myself out. But I felt the presence of the Lord during this message so strongly like I've never felt before my life. Thank you Pastor , I feel alive for the first time and a sense of hope. Believing that my later years will be greater than my former.And the God has spoke promises in my life and I will see them. That I will live and not die. And that I will fulfill the purpose that the Lord put me on earth to do. I never had a dad and I'm trying to be one with nothing to measure up to and I feel the Lord is telling me that I will be a great dad. God bless you thank you
  • @sakshisingh1266
    I cried a lot many times during this sermon . And when you told tears are running on your cheeks because it's God speaking to you I couldn't control my tears . This was for me . Thanks a lot ! Love from India .
  • @jazmine73317
    This spoke deep into the pain I carry. The family traumas I’ve been through were necessary. The generational trauma in my family stops with ME because God intended it to. He has a purpose for me. Lord please help me deny the enemy when he tells me I’m nothing. Lord speak peace over my heart when the enemy throws my mistakes in my face. I know those lessons were meant to lead me towards the blessing. Thank you God you are so so good to me. Amen!
  • @theenaocay7923
    This is bread from heaven for me! Amen to all! Receiving the turning things all around to me! I am arising again!
  • @kowannam2942
    Up at 3am filled with the holy spirit . I needed to hear this. God is so good 💖 this is so powerful thank you
  • This woke me up cryyying so hard right now, God is speaking so deep right now, everything God allowed me to go through in Christ is going to deliver my whole family. The generational curse STOPS with me in Jesus mighty name. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for being our plot twist.😭🙌🏼✝️🔥🙏
  • You've no idea how much I needed this sermon, been slowly losing faith, giving up and after months of praying on autopilot, just so that it's done, I've felt peace and God's presence within me yet again. God bless you

    I'm in Zimbabwe.🇿🇼 And yes at the point you mentioned tears streaming down our faces, they certainly were down mine! And when you mentioned Zimbabwe my spirit leapt. Thank you for this word Pastor.🙏
