0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:49 Speaker 2: Hey, I want to ask you this question today. Are you living in a place in your life where you're just looking at the sins or those things that you're struggling with, your weaknesses, your shortcomings, or maybe there are things that you know that you're not supposed to do but you're not making the right decisions. But you're just going through life with this attitude where you say, you know what, I have God's grace available for me. I know his mercies are there for me. I know that He has forgiven me, and whenever I ask him for forgiveness, He's going to help me.

1:17 Speaker 2: So why can't I just have some fun? Why can't I just continue in sin? Well, this is a word I want to ask you today. Are you in a place where you just want to take the grace of God for granted just because you feel like you know what, I just want to have fun. I want to continue in my sin. I want to have this pleasure. I want to fit in to this crowd. I want to just be like everybody else. I want to you know, can I tell you something, Guys, the same way, you don't play with fire just because you have a fire extinguisher available.

1:51 Speaker 2: You and I need to be careful that we don't play with sin just because the grace of God is available. Think about this today. You and I have the grace of God available, but you are not called to take the grace of God for granted. The grace is not available for you to continue in sin. The grace of God is available for you to help you overcome sin. In Jesus' name, don't take the grace of God for granted. I want you to think about this. You know, when we think about in the scripture, Samson is a great example where he kept on giving in to sin.

2:25 Speaker 2: He kept on making poor decisions, He kept on going off track in spite of the fact that he couldn't come back. He had a big calling over his life. He kept on going off track. He kept on making sin after sin after sin, and going off in the wrong direction. He started playing with the enemy instead of fighting against the enemy. He's instead of siding with God's side and God's call and God's purpose over his life, over God's people, he started playing with the enemy. He started siding with the enemy.

2:56 Speaker 2: He started marrying the people from the enemy side, started, you know, playing riddles with them. You know, can I tell you something? You know? You have a call over your life. You have a purpose over your life. You have a plan over your life. Don't miss it up. Don't miss the best plan that God has for you because you're just giving in to sin over and over again. Think about this today. Are there areas in your life you need to make a course correction. Are there areas in your life where you need to get back on track?

3:28 Speaker 2: Are there areas in your life where you need to say, you know what enough is enough? Yes I'm in this addiction for a long time. Yes I'm in this sin for a long period of time. Yes, I'm in this kind of a wrong school of thought for a long time. Yes, I need to change my attitude. I need to change my perspective. I need to change my behavior. I need to change my habit. I need to change my lifestyle. I need to change my school of thought. I need to change myself in this area. Let this be a wake up call for you.

3:59 Speaker 2: I pray that you will deal with that issue. Deal with the root issue. When you think about Samson, he kept on having the issue of lust. He kept on playing with lust, he kept on hiring women after women. At the end of the story, he ends up losing his height sight. Think about it. If you don't deal with your root issue, your root issue will start dealing with you. That's why I want to pray and challenge each one of you today under the sound of my voice, that you will not get to the end a place like Samson went to when he was in his moment of death where he calls on the Lord for mercy.

4:35 Speaker 2: I don't want you to get to your moment of debt for you to call on the Lord for your mercy, for his mercy. I want you to call on the Lord today, just like the prodigal son return to the Father while he was still younger. I pray that you'll return to your heavenly Father right while you listen to this sermon. Let this be a wake up call for you to get back on track, for you to commit your life, resurrender your life. Maybe there are areas you need to commit back. Where there areas. It could be a wrong attitude, It could be a complaining spirit.

5:06 Speaker 2: It could be a spirit where you tend to you know, over spender, where you are not vice with your money, you're not vice with your resources, You're not valuing the relationships that God has given you. There could be different different areas in your life where you need to change and you need to turn back to the Lord. And I pray that this is going to be the wake up call for you that you will come back to the Lord, come back to his promises, come back to his commands and his principles and this word and this will, and I pray that your life will never be the same.

5:38 Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen, God bless you.
