0:40 Speaker 1: International Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John.

0:44 Speaker 2: Gif Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA podcast. I'm

0:47 Speaker 2: so glad that you're joining in us. We're going to

0:50 Speaker 2: look at various lessons that we can take away from

0:52 Speaker 2: the Life of Moses during this season this week as

0:56 Speaker 2: well on the podcast. A couple of things I want

0:58 Speaker 2: to start off by talking about is I want you

1:01 Speaker 2: to understand that sometimes you may be looking at your

1:03 Speaker 2: life and feeling like, oh my gosh, it feels like

1:06 Speaker 2: all hell has broken loose. There's so many things happening.

1:09 Speaker 2: I don't know, it feels like my life is at risk.

1:12 Speaker 2: I feel like things are just being unfair towards me.

1:16 Speaker 2: Maybe it's not just towards you, but it's towards you

1:18 Speaker 2: know a lot of people around and you're feeling like

1:21 Speaker 2: what is going on? But I want you to understand,

1:23 Speaker 2: Moses was born at a time when there was a

1:26 Speaker 2: lot of oppression. The Pharaoh had just ordered that all

1:30 Speaker 2: the male babies born to Hebrew women should be killed. Right,

1:35 Speaker 2: that was a moment when Moses was born. It's a

1:37 Speaker 2: striking similarity between Moses and when you look at Jesus.

1:41 Speaker 2: When Jesus was born on earth as a man, what

1:44 Speaker 2: you see is the same thing that the a king

1:48 Speaker 2: had ordered all these babies to be killed as well.

1:50 Speaker 2: So I wanted to understand the striking similarity. Here's the

1:53 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to understand. If you're looking at all

1:56 Speaker 2: health breaking loose, if you feel like everything is going

1:58 Speaker 2: out of control, if you feel like the devil is

2:00 Speaker 2: playing a major sport in this world, or it be

2:03 Speaker 2: in your community, in your church, or in your ministry,

2:06 Speaker 2: in your in your in your office, or in your

2:08 Speaker 2: neighborhood or in your community, and you're wondering like what

2:11 Speaker 2: is going on? Maybe just maybe the reason why you

2:15 Speaker 2: can see all the visible attacks. The visible opposition is

2:18 Speaker 2: because God is worthing something powerful. God is doing something mighty. See,

2:24 Speaker 2: I want to tell you something. When I look at

2:27 Speaker 2: this old thing, right, we just look at all the

2:30 Speaker 2: noise around, but we don't realize that in the unseen world,

2:34 Speaker 2: something mighty was happening. At a time when all the

2:37 Speaker 2: babies were getting killed, there was a Moses that was

2:42 Speaker 2: born when all the babies were getting killed. On the

2:45 Speaker 2: other hand, the son of the Living God, Jesus was born. See.

2:50 Speaker 2: I wanted to understand. If you are saying that things

2:55 Speaker 2: are going out of hand, if you feel like things

2:57 Speaker 2: have gotten to a place where it's beyond your con

3:00 Speaker 2: just say, Lord, what is happening. Help me not to

3:04 Speaker 2: just look at things from the outside. Help me to

3:06 Speaker 2: see what is happening in the spiritual realm. In the

3:11 Speaker 2: spirit realm, many many years ago, there was a little

3:14 Speaker 2: baby that was in I see you, and all the

3:16 Speaker 2: doctors who came to the baby to check on the baby.

3:19 Speaker 2: They came and checked and they said, you know what,

3:21 Speaker 2: this baby is not going to survive. This baby is

3:24 Speaker 2: going to die. There's nothing that can be done medically

3:28 Speaker 2: possible to save this baby. They told loud ones, call

3:33 Speaker 2: all the members and tell them this baby is going

3:36 Speaker 2: to die. This forty five day old baby was given

3:39 Speaker 2: a death sentence. But I want to tell you something.

3:43 Speaker 2: The good news is that the same baby I'm referring

3:45 Speaker 2: to is the one talking to you right now. That's me,

3:47 Speaker 2: the same baby that the doctors gave a death sentence

3:50 Speaker 2: to when I was forty five days old. Now I'm

3:53 Speaker 2: able to be a blessing to multitudes across the globe

3:57 Speaker 2: through media, through traveling, through ministry, through opportunities, and through

4:01 Speaker 2: my life as a whole. And I'm not saying this

4:04 Speaker 2: to boast, but I want you to understand the enemy

4:07 Speaker 2: the same way. When Moses was born, he got so

4:10 Speaker 2: mad that he was running around killing babies. Right when

4:15 Speaker 2: Jesus was born, he went around creating such a ruckus,

4:19 Speaker 2: trying to kill Moses, trying to kill Jesus. And I

4:23 Speaker 2: believe that there was a reason why the enemy tried

4:26 Speaker 2: to kill me and stop me before I came into

4:28 Speaker 2: this world, or when I was just entering this world.

4:32 Speaker 2: I want to tell you something. If you're in a

4:34 Speaker 2: place in your life and you're saying, John, why all

4:36 Speaker 2: this opposition. Maybe just maybe like Moses, like Jesus, like me.

4:42 Speaker 2: Maybe God has a big plan for your life. Maybe

4:45 Speaker 2: God has something big. Maybe God is birthing something through

4:48 Speaker 2: your life that you thought. I'm just ordinary. There's nothing

4:51 Speaker 2: special about me. I'm just a nobody. I'm just just

4:55 Speaker 2: your making it through life. But I want to tell

4:58 Speaker 2: you something. The devil will not be playing with your

5:00 Speaker 2: life if there was nothing into your life. The reason

5:04 Speaker 2: why the devil is attacking is because he is scared

5:08 Speaker 2: of what God is about to do in your life.

5:12 Speaker 2: The very thing that the enemy is attacking you, and

5:15 Speaker 2: he is doing all sorts of things to put you

5:18 Speaker 2: in a bad spot, shows that you're not ordinary. That

5:24 Speaker 2: God as a plan for your life, that God is

5:27 Speaker 2: going to use you in a mighty way. Moses was

5:30 Speaker 2: used to save multitudes and to help those multitudes of

5:35 Speaker 2: this generation to leave Egypt and move towards the promised land. Jesus,

5:42 Speaker 2: when you walk to on earth as a man, he

5:44 Speaker 2: paid the ultimate price for the sins of the whole world,

5:49 Speaker 2: so that through him we as humanity, will find salvation.

5:53 Speaker 2: And the Lord said me, I'm not boasting or putting

5:58 Speaker 2: myself on a eye pedestal, the Lord said me, and

6:01 Speaker 2: now I'm able to be a blessing to multitudes, if

6:04 Speaker 2: not millions, through the television, the podcast, the YouTube, the

6:08 Speaker 2: social traveling around and ministering all the different things that

6:12 Speaker 2: the Lord has given me the grace to do is

6:15 Speaker 2: not because I'm great or something. It's because the Lord

6:20 Speaker 2: is great and the Lord worked it out through my life. Today,

6:23 Speaker 2: I want you to look at your life from this

6:26 Speaker 2: perspective that if you're facing challenges and opposition, that's not

6:31 Speaker 2: a reason for you to throw things out. That's not

6:33 Speaker 2: a reason for you to give up. That's not a

6:36 Speaker 2: reason for you to just think like, oh my gosh,

6:38 Speaker 2: this is my unlucky is me? Or I'm just unlucky. No,

6:43 Speaker 2: the reason you're attacked is not because you're unlucky. The

6:46 Speaker 2: reason you're attacked is because the favor of God is

6:50 Speaker 2: upon you. Is because God's big plans are on you.

6:55 Speaker 2: And when God fulfills those big plans and big assignments

7:00 Speaker 2: through your life, you will be a great asset to

7:04 Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God. Amen. I would really pray that

7:07 Speaker 2: this message will encourage you and challenge you and your

7:10 Speaker 2: walk with the Lord and be an encouragement to you.
