0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Hello everyone, It's wonderful for me to be back on this episode of the Fuel for the Soul with John gift podcast. I'm going to talk to you today about something I believe is so important for us to address us believers because a lot of people think that they can speak whatever they want to and for the most part, you see, everything that you feed in is negative, whether it's the media, whether the political situation, or whether you look at all the advertisements and in general, if you see, you know a lot of people want to look at something negative, and something negative always attracts, and it's something that people want to constantly feed on over and over again, whether it's come some kind of like a grudge or bitterness, or it's some kind of a crime or you know, you know, anything that is negative, you know, is what drives people.

1:37 You know, that's the way the enemy has been now, you know, causing a lot of people to feed on the negative, feed the negative. And because what you feed is negative, it's many times, for the most part, what we see coming out of our mouths, what we speak, is always negative. We're talking about the impossibilities of the situation. We're talking about all the reasons why things can go wrong. We're talking about, you know, how the situation is so bad, the economy is so bad, the condition politically is so bad.

2:06 We're constantly looking at what we see and we're constantly speaking the negative. But I want you to remember that the Bible is very clear in saying that life and death and on the part of the tongue, you need to understand that your life goes in the direction of your words. If you're constantly speaking negative, you will only see more and more negativity coming into your life. And if you're constantly feeding on more of negativity. That's exactly what you're going to experience becoming a reality in and through your life.

2:32 But today I want to challenge each one of you under the sound of my voice, that if you want to see a change in what you see on the outside in your life, you need to see a change in what you speak. You need to see a change in what you say. Only then you will see a change in what you see. One of the examples I want to talk to you today is from Luke Chapter one. One of the examples where you see Zachariah is having an encounter with an angel who comes and says, listen, you can bear a son. And Zacharia is way too old.

3:08 And this is what I wanted to understand. When Zachariah hears this, he says, how can I be sure that this will happen? I'm an old man now, and my wife is also well along in yours. This is verse eighteen, okay, and I'm reading to you from the unalty version. He's saying, how is this even going to be possible? How can I be sure this is going to be possible? Because I'm old and technically this is not going to happen biologically. This is not going to happen in reality. This is a mission impossible.

3:35 How do you expect me to believe this and listen to this? What he says makes sense logically. But the angel said in verse nineteen, I am Gabriel. I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news. Look at verse twenty. Very powerful. But now, since you did not believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born. You have to understand something very important here, guys. You know what, Sometimes you had to look at this passage and understand, like, you know what, this man did not believe in the word it was given to him, a divine encounter with God himself was sending out an angel and saying, you know what, you're gonna barras child?

4:17 You know, And because he did not believe, you know, the angel had to shut the mouth from speaking negative. Sometimes you have to understand that. You know, some people are constantly speaking negatively, and they wonder why their life is never changing for the better. It's because your words determine the reaction of your life. And sometimes you and I need to get to moments when it's best at the Angel or it's best that the Lord shuts them out from speaking negatively. Because here's a classic moment when the Angel and the Lord did not want you know, a Zachariah messing up what God was planning to do and through his life because of his words, because of his unbelief, and so he had to shut his mouth saying, you know what, you cannot speak negative because you have to understand that, you know what, there is power in the words that you speak.

5:10 And today I pray that this is going to be a wake up call for you that you will not mess up what God wants to do in and through your life. That you will not mess up what God wants to you know, accomplish through your family. You will not mess up what a God wants to accomplish through your life, ministry and purpose because of your words that I pray in the name of Jesus. The same way the

5:38 Angel of the Lord is saying, you know what, that Zachariah's mouth will be shut from speaking negatively. He was shut till the moment the baby was born. Sometimes you know, God has to shut our mouth, you know, in such a way that we won't speak anything negative. And I pray that today if you have any area in your life where you're constantly being negative, you're constantly speaking out the reality of what you see instead of speaking out the truth of God's word. Let this be a wake up call for you.

6:13 Let this be the moment when you say you know what enough is enough. I'm going to choose to trust the Lord. I'm going to choose to depend on him. I'm going to choose to look up to him. I believe that my God is still working in my life. I believe that God is going to do something awesome. And if I'm not able to say something in a lines with what God is saying, let me just keep him out shucked in Jesus' mighty name.
