0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Are you

0:53 in a place in your life there you are questioning what is happening with your

0:56 life? You're saying, I don't understand why this delay this happened? Why

1:00 is this so unfair for me? Why am I going through this when others

1:03 are going through a much better path and things are just not happening the way

1:10 you want? Why is in God answering my prayers the way I really expected

1:14 him to? And you may be praying you've been asking the law to show

1:17 up and do something in your life. You are asking the law to perform

1:22 something or to do something to you know, bring a miracle into your life,

1:27 to answer some prayer in some area of your life, and you're just

1:32 not able to understand why the delay, Why are things happening just the opposite

1:36 of what you've been praying about. If you're in a place like that,

1:38 I just want you to be encouraged that you can trust the goodness of God.

1:42 You can trust the faithfulness of God. God is not a mad God.

1:46 God is not a bad God. God is a good God. He's

1:49 a loving father. He's not mad at you, He's madly in love with

1:53 you. Today, I want you to get to the place where you can

1:57 be the place of peace. You can be the place of trust and rest,

2:00 knowing that the God who has called you, he is faithful, he

2:05 is leading your life, He's directing your steps. He's opening doors, he's

2:08 closing the wrong doors. Is going to make sure that everything fits in together.

2:14 For you're good because you're called according to his purpose, and you are

2:17 where God wants you to be. Today I want you to understand this important

2:23 truth because you love the Lord. God is saying you know what, You're

2:27 not just going through life on your own. I am doing a work in

2:30 you. You're not trying to figure things out. I am making all things

2:34 happen in your life. One of the scriptures I want to take this forward

2:38 is John chapter thirteen, verse seven, and I'm reading to you from the

2:43 innerty version, and this is what it says. Jesus replied, you don't

2:46 understand now what I'm doing, but some day you will. You don't understand

2:53 now what I'm doing, but someday you will. When you look at the

2:59 NIV version and says, you do not realize now what I'm doing, but

3:02 later you will understand. What I want you to understand is right now,

3:07 you don't understand what is happening. You don't know why God is not answering

3:09 your prayers. You don't know why God is not showing up and showing out

3:14 in your life, why things are not moving in any kind of progress in

3:17 your life. You're wondering why is God being silent? You're wondering why isn't

3:22 this working out? Well, I want you to understand. This is what

3:24 Jesus is saying. Now you don't understand now, you don't realize it,

3:30 but I'm doing something, But later you will understand. Can you get to

3:35 that place where you say, God, yes, I don't understand, but

3:38 I believe at the right time, I'm going to understand what you're up to.

3:42 I'm going to understand why the delay. I'm going to understand why you

3:45 close that door. I'm going to understand, and I'm going to be grateful

3:47 today. I'm going to take a step of faith and I'm going to thank

3:50 God for closed doors, thank God for delays, thank God for things that

3:53 didn't work out the way I wanted it. Thank God for the way God

3:57 shut some things in my life, people away from my life for you know,

4:01 taking away some opportunities from me, because God wanted me not to settle

4:06 for what I thought was the best, but so that I would wait for

4:11 the best that He has for me. Can you get to that place of

4:16 total trust and trust upon the Lord and upon the Lord alone? Can you

4:21 give to that place? I just want to close with this example of somebody

4:27 I know who really wanted to take up a particular course, and the things

4:32 were really unfair because this person could not get the course that he wanted,

4:39 you know, like there was some things that happened very unfairly, and you

4:44 know, even though he could take it up, but he was not allowed

4:46 to take it, you know, by his close kit and kin. And

4:50 he was so devastated because things didn't walk out. He prayed, you know,

4:57 took the counsel of so many people, appro spoke up, did whatever

5:00 he could fight till the very end, but it just wasn't happening, and

5:08 he had to do something else. And about two to three years later,

5:14 coming to find out that particular course become redundant suddenly because of some issue with

5:20 the government and who even those who took the course and completed a year or

5:27 two would have, you know, like lost everything and would have had to

5:31 change to a different course, started all over again, and you know,

5:34 so much of turmoil and confusion that happened. And that is when we realized

5:40 this important truth, you know, hen been it seemed unfair, even though

5:46 he didn't make any sense. Why wasn't God answering the prayer? It was

5:50 good that God didn't answered that prayer the way this person wanted it was.

5:56 It was it was a matter of protection, you know, because if that

6:00 person had taken that course, he would have completed two years of it and

6:04 would have had to restart all over again. Spit something else, and you

6:09 see that's the beauty of a God. You know, God knows what he's

6:14 doing, and God knows what is about to happen. Here's down the line

6:17 today. You want something today, this is what you've been praying about.

6:21 But who knows what God is seeing or foreseeing that qud happened that can damage

6:28 your life, and that's why God is protecting you. Today it looks like

6:32 something unfair, but one day you will see why God closed that door.

6:38 One day you'll understand why God shut that door. And I pray the name

6:43 of Jesus Christ for their peace to take over you, to come to the

6:46 place where you'll understand that my God is on the throne. He's a good

6:50 God, and he will make all things work together for my good because I

6:58 love him and I'm called according to his and He's going to make all things

7:00 beautiful, not in my type I want, but in his beautiful time.
