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

0:52 Speaker 2: you living in a place in your life where you're

0:54 Speaker 2: just looking at the sins or those things that you're

0:57 Speaker 2: struggling with, your weaknesses, your shortcomings, or maybe there are

1:01 Speaker 2: things that you know that you're not supposed to do

1:03 Speaker 2: but you're not making the right decisions. But you're just

1:05 Speaker 2: going through life with this attitude where you say, you

1:08 Speaker 2: know what, I have God's grace available for me. I

1:11 Speaker 2: know his mercies are there for me. I know that

1:13 Speaker 2: He has forgiven me, and whenever I ask him for forgiveness,

1:16 Speaker 2: He's going to help me. So why can't I just

1:18 Speaker 2: have some fun? Why can't I just continue in sin? Well,

1:21 Speaker 2: this is a word I want to ask you today.

1:24 Speaker 2: Are you in a place where you just want to

1:26 Speaker 2: take the grace of God for granted just because you

1:31 Speaker 2: feel like you know what, I just want to have fun.

1:35 Speaker 2: I want to continue in my sin. I want to

1:37 Speaker 2: have this pleasure. I want to fit in to this crowd.

1:41 Speaker 2: I want to just be like everybody else. I want

1:43 Speaker 2: to you know, can I tell you something, Guys, the

1:46 Speaker 2: same way, you don't play with fire just because you

1:49 Speaker 2: have a fire extinguisher available. You and I need to

1:52 Speaker 2: be careful that we don't play with sin just because

1:56 Speaker 2: the grace of God is available. Think about this today.

1:59 Speaker 2: You and I have the grace of God available, but

2:02 Speaker 2: you are not called to take the grace of God

2:04 Speaker 2: for granted. The grace is not available for you to

2:07 Speaker 2: continue in sin. The grace of God is available for

2:10 Speaker 2: you to help you overcome sin. In Jesus' name, don't

2:14 Speaker 2: take the grace of God for granted. I want you

2:18 Speaker 2: to think about this. You know, when we think about

2:20 Speaker 2: in the scripture, Samson is a great example where he

2:23 Speaker 2: kept on giving in to sin. He kept on making

2:26 Speaker 2: poor decisions, He kept on going off track in spite

2:29 Speaker 2: of the fact that he couldn't come back. He had

2:31 Speaker 2: a big calling over his life. He kept on going

2:33 Speaker 2: off track. He kept on making sin after sin after sin,

2:37 Speaker 2: and going off in the wrong direction. He started playing

2:40 Speaker 2: with the enemy instead of fighting against the enemy. He's

2:44 Speaker 2: instead of siding with God's side and God's call and

2:47 Speaker 2: God's purpose over his life, over God's people, he started

2:51 Speaker 2: playing with the enemy. He started siding with the enemy.

2:56 Speaker 2: He started marrying the people from the enemy side, started,

3:00 Speaker 2: you know, playing riddles with them. You know, can I

3:03 Speaker 2: tell you something? You know? You have a call over

3:06 Speaker 2: your life. You have a purpose over your life. You

3:09 Speaker 2: have a plan over your life. Don't miss it up.

3:13 Speaker 2: Don't miss the best plan that God has for you

3:17 Speaker 2: because you're just giving in to sin over and over again.

3:20 Speaker 2: Think about this today. Are there areas in your life

3:23 Speaker 2: you need to make a course correction. Are there areas

3:26 Speaker 2: 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,

3:30 Speaker 2: you know what enough is enough? Yes I'm in this

3:32 Speaker 2: addiction for a long time. Yes I'm in this sin

3:35 Speaker 2: for a long period of time. Yes, I'm in this

3:37 Speaker 2: kind of a wrong school of thought for a long time. Yes,

3:40 Speaker 2: I need to change my attitude. I need to change

3:42 Speaker 2: my perspective. I need to change my behavior. I need

3:45 Speaker 2: to change my habit. I need to change my lifestyle.

3:49 Speaker 2: I need to change my school of thought. I need

3:51 Speaker 2: to change myself in this area. Let this be a

3:57 Speaker 2: wake up call for you. I pray that you will

4:00 Speaker 2: deal with that issue. Deal with the root issue. When

4:03 Speaker 2: you think about Samson, he kept on having the issue

4:06 Speaker 2: of lust. He kept on playing with lust, he kept

4:09 Speaker 2: on hiring women after women. At the end of the story,

4:12 Speaker 2: he ends up losing his height sight. Think about it.

4:17 Speaker 2: If you don't deal with your root issue, your root

4:20 Speaker 2: issue will start dealing with you. That's why I want

4:22 Speaker 2: to pray and challenge each one of you today under

4:25 Speaker 2: the sound of my voice, that you will not get

4:27 Speaker 2: to the end a place like Samson went to when

4:31 Speaker 2: he was in his moment of death where he calls

4:34 Speaker 2: on the Lord for mercy. I don't want you to

4:36 Speaker 2: get to your moment of debt for you to call

4:38 Speaker 2: on the Lord for your mercy, for his mercy. I

4:41 Speaker 2: want you to call on the Lord today, just like

4:43 Speaker 2: the prodigal son return to the Father while he was

4:46 Speaker 2: still younger. I pray that you'll return to your heavenly

4:49 Speaker 2: Father right while you listen to this sermon. Let this

4:53 Speaker 2: be a wake up call for you to get back

4:55 Speaker 2: on track, for you to commit your life, resurrender your life.

5:00 Speaker 2: Maybe there are areas you need to commit back. Where

5:02 Speaker 2: there areas. It could be a wrong attitude, It could

5:05 Speaker 2: be a complaining spirit. It could be a spirit where

5:08 Speaker 2: you tend to you know, over spender, where you are

5:11 Speaker 2: not vice with your money, you're not vice with your resources,

5:14 Speaker 2: You're not valuing the relationships that God has given you.

5:17 Speaker 2: There could be different different areas in your life where

5:20 Speaker 2: you need to change and you need to turn back

5:23 Speaker 2: to the Lord. And I pray that this is going

5:26 Speaker 2: to be the wake up call for you that you

5:28 Speaker 2: will come back to the Lord, come back to his promises,

5:31 Speaker 2: come back to his commands and his principles and this

5:34 Speaker 2: word and this will, and I pray that your life

5:36 Speaker 2: will never be the same. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen,

5:40 Speaker 2: God bless you.
