0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Are you in a place in your life there you are questioning what is happening with your life? You're saying, I don't understand why this delay this happened? Why is this so unfair for me? Why am I going through this when others are going through a much better path and things are just not happening the way you want? Why is in God answering my prayers the way I really expected him to? And you may be praying you've been asking the law to show up and do something in your life.

1:20 You are asking the law to perform something or to do something to you know, bring a miracle into your life, to answer some prayer in some area of your life, and you're just not able to understand why the delay, Why are things happening just the opposite of what you've been praying about. If you're in a place like that, I just want you to be encouraged that you can trust the goodness of God. You can trust the faithfulness of God. God is not a mad God. God is not a bad God. God is a good God. He's a loving father.

1:50 He's not mad at you, He's madly in love with you. Today, I want you to get to the place where you can be the place of peace. You can be the place of trust and rest, knowing that the God who has called you, he is faithful, he is leading your life, He's directing your steps. He's opening doors, he's closing the wrong doors. Is going to make sure that everything fits in together. For you're good because you're called according to his purpose, and you are where God wants you to be. Today I want you to understand this important truth because you love the Lord.

2:25 God is saying you know what, You're not just going through life on your own. I am doing a work in you. You're not trying to figure things out. I am making all things happen in your life. One of the scriptures I want to take this forward is John chapter thirteen, verse seven, and I'm reading to you from the innerty version, and this is what it says. Jesus replied, you don't understand now what I'm doing, but some day you will. You don't understand now what I'm doing, but someday you will. When you look at the NIV version and says, you do not realize now what I'm doing, but later you will understand.

3:04 What I want you to understand is right now, you don't understand what is happening. You don't know why God is not answering your prayers. You don't know why God is not showing up and showing out in your life, why things are not moving in any kind of progress in your life. You're wondering why is God being silent? You're wondering why isn't this working out? Well, I want you to understand. This is what Jesus is saying. Now you don't understand now, you don't realize it, but I'm doing something, But later you will understand.

3:34 Can you get to that place where you say, God, yes, I don't understand, but I believe at the right time, I'm going to understand what you're up to. I'm going to understand why the delay. I'm going to understand why you close that door. I'm going to understand, and I'm going to be grateful today. I'm going to take a step of faith and I'm going to thank God for closed doors, thank God for delays, thank God for things that didn't work out the way I wanted it. Thank God for the way God shut some things in my life, people away from my life for you know, taking away some opportunities from me, because God wanted me not to settle for what I thought was the best, but so that I would wait for the best that He has for me.

4:13 Can you get to that place of total trust and trust upon the Lord and upon the Lord alone? Can you give to that place? I just want to close with this example of somebody I know who really wanted to take up a particular course, and the things were really unfair because this person could not get the course that he wanted, you know, like there was some things that happened very unfairly, and you know, even though he could take it up, but he was not allowed to take it, you know, by his close kit and kin.

4:50 And he was so devastated because things didn't walk out. He prayed, you know, took the counsel of so many people, appro spoke up, did whatever he could fight till the very end, but it just wasn't happening, and he had to do something else. And about two to three years later, coming to find out that particular course become redundant suddenly because of some issue with the government and who even those who took the course and completed a year or two would have, you know, like lost everything and would have had to change to a different course, started all over again, and you know, so much of turmoil and confusion that happened.

5:38 And that is when we realized this important truth, you know, hen been it seemed unfair, even though he didn't make any sense. Why wasn't God answering the prayer? It was good that God didn't answered that prayer the way this person wanted it was. It was it was a matter of protection, you know, because if that person had taken that course, he would have completed two years of it and would have had to restart all over again. Spit something else, and you see that's the beauty of a God. You know, God knows what he's doing, and God knows what is about to happen.

6:16 Here's down the line today. You want something today, this is what you've been praying about. But who knows what God is seeing or foreseeing that qud happened that can damage your life, and that's why God is protecting you. Today it looks like something unfair, but one day you will see why God closed that door. One day you'll understand why God shut that door. And I pray the name of Jesus Christ for their peace to take over you, to come to the place where you'll understand that my God is on the throne.

6:49 He's a good God, and he will make all things work together for my good because I love him and I'm called according to his and He's going to make all things beautiful, not in my type I want, but in his beautiful time.
