Go Higher by Traveling Lighter: Mount Everest Faith Lessons | John Giftah | Christian Podcast
Tonight's Episode
Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Giftah. In this powerful episode from our Mount Everest Faith Lessons series, we learn how climbers face strict weight limits to ascend safely and effectively. Drawing from this, John Giftah challenges believers to shed spiritual and emotional weights—such as bitterness, unforgiveness, anxiety, and past hurts—that hold us back from rising higher in life, purpose, and relationship with GOD.Grounded in scriptures like Hebrews 12:1, Matthew 11:28-30, 1 Peter 5:7, and Philippians 3:13-14, this message offers practical guidance and encouragement to release mental burdens and negative attitudes to travel lighter spiritually.
If you’re feeling weighed down, this teaching will inspire you to let go, embrace freedom, and press forward toward the higher calling GOD has for your life.

Speaker 1: Do you ever look around and think, Wow, the world
Speaker 1: is a crazy place and it just seems to get
Speaker 1: crazier and crazier. Ease your mind and take a break.
Speaker 1: This is Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. We're
Speaker 1: a hub for inspirational Christian sermons, practical keys for Christian living,
Speaker 1: and Christian discussions and interviews. You'll be inspired to live
Speaker 1: the life that you were created for. Your host is
Speaker 1: a top ranking podcaster, best selling author, world record holder,
Speaker 1: aerospace engineer, life coach, evangelist and founder of John Gifta
Speaker 1: International Welcome hell to Fuel for the Soul with John
Speaker 1: Gifta podcasts.
Speaker 2: Such a joy for me to be with you, even
Speaker 2: as we are doing the CDs through this week based
Speaker 2: on Mount Everest and our every life based on God's Word.
Speaker 2: Now I want you to understand me. The twenty nine
Speaker 2: is known as Mount Everest Date, the day when hill
Speaker 2: It and ten Saying made their very first push to
Speaker 2: the summit in nineteen fifty three. So there's so many
Speaker 2: things that we can take away and learn. And one
Speaker 2: of the things I want to talk about is that, yes,
Speaker 2: the same way they climb their mountain that was in
Speaker 2: front of them that the area of calling that they
Speaker 2: had You and I need to understand God has a
Speaker 2: calling over our life, a mountain that we need to climb.
Speaker 2: Of course, God wants to take us from one degree
Speaker 2: of glory to another degree of glory. The Bible says
Speaker 2: that the path of the rights gets brighter and brighter,
Speaker 2: So there's always a greater level of calling that God
Speaker 2: has for us, a greater degree of purpose that God
Speaker 2: has in store for each and every one of us.
Speaker 2: But in order to do that, I wanted to understand.
Speaker 2: When mountaineers want to climb to the top, they cannot
Speaker 2: climb with a lot of things on their plate, right,
Speaker 2: like if they're having a backpack, there are a lot
Speaker 2: of restrictions on the limits on how much weight they
Speaker 2: can carry because it's already a very strenuous task climbing
Speaker 2: to the sun, which is literally over eighty eight hundred
Speaker 2: meters above ment sea levels. So definitely they cannot just
Speaker 2: carry whatever they want. There is a limit, like, for example,
Speaker 2: in cages, you can only carry your backpack of up
Speaker 2: to ten to fifteen cages of goodies in which inclos
Speaker 2: your jacket, your light, your oxygen and food and everything
Speaker 2: together only ten to fifteen cages. I think it's around
Speaker 2: twenty two to thirty pounds. That's all they can carry, right,
Speaker 2: So I want you to understand something here. They have
Speaker 2: to travel light if they want to go higher. The
Speaker 2: lighter you have, the higher you go. I don't know
Speaker 2: who needs to hear this word. Some of you are
Speaker 2: trying to go higher in your calling, but you're not
Speaker 2: willing to let go of the things that are weighing
Speaker 2: you down. Because the more you allow God to let
Speaker 2: go of the things, or to free you from the
Speaker 2: things that are carrying you or worrying you, or conarning
Speaker 2: you that are upon you, you will struggle to go higher.
Speaker 2: So if you really want to go higher in your calling,
Speaker 2: you need to go to that place where you let
Speaker 2: go of the things that are weighing you down. Because
Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here. The Bible says
Speaker 2: in Psalm fifty five vers two, and when you also
Speaker 2: look at first Peter five, verse seven, it says you
Speaker 2: need to cast your cast upon the Lord. You need
Speaker 2: to cast your concerns upon the Lord, cast your worries
Speaker 2: upon the Lord. Cast everything. Even when you look at Jesus,
Speaker 2: what did you say all e that are weary and
Speaker 2: are heavy laiden, come to me. You have to understand.
Speaker 2: Come and just throw it into the hands of the Lord,
Speaker 2: and then you will be able to be at rest
Speaker 2: and be able to be free enough and be light
Speaker 2: enough for you to go higher. The challenge I want
Speaker 2: to leave with each one of you is that you
Speaker 2: will go to that place where you are in a
Speaker 2: place where you let go of the things that are
Speaker 2: weighing you down so that you will be able to
Speaker 2: go higher in your calling. What are areas in your
Speaker 2: life that you're unwilling to let go. Maybe there is
Speaker 2: a hurt in the past, maybe on an opportunity that
Speaker 2: you missed and that's haunting you. Or maybe if somebody
Speaker 2: did you wrong. Maybe there's bitterness, an attitude of putting
Speaker 2: on too grudges. Maybe there's unforgiveness. Maybe there's a secret
Speaker 2: sin or an addiction that you're not willing to let go,
Speaker 2: or come into the hands of God and committing it
Speaker 2: and saying, God, this is an area where I want
Speaker 2: you to help me. Let go, help me to be
Speaker 2: set free so that I will travel light in Jesus
Speaker 2: Mighty name, Can this be your prayer today? It may
Speaker 2: be a simple message, but this is such a powerful message,
Speaker 2: a powerful reminder because the lighter you go, the higher
Speaker 2: you go. But if you're canning on too much weight,
Speaker 2: you will not be able to go higher. You will struggle,
Speaker 2: you will give up soon. But this is a wake
Speaker 2: up call for you that in any area that you're
Speaker 2: not willing to let go, that you are a loving
Speaker 2: things to weigh you down. I want to pray in
Speaker 2: Jesus name, the Holy Spirit will shed light into areas
Speaker 2: where you need to allow him to work. What are
Speaker 2: some areas in your life that the Holy Spirit needs
Speaker 2: to work that he will enable you to cast and
Speaker 2: let go. I pray in Jesus Name. Maybe a relationship
Speaker 2: that needs to be healed, a relationship that needs to
Speaker 2: be reconciled. Maybe there is an area of brokenness that
Speaker 2: you're not spoken to anybody about, but you know it
Speaker 2: that you need to take action. Let this be your
Speaker 2: wake up call. Or maybe there is something from the
Speaker 2: past that's haunting you over and over and over again.
Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ, that haunting spirit, let
Speaker 2: it go, that is constantly telling you you should have
Speaker 2: done this, you shouldn't have done that, You messed it up.
Speaker 2: I pray that today you will receive that forgiveness from
Speaker 2: the Lord, to receive that mercy and to be free,
Speaker 2: so that you will start afresh today in Jesus Name.
Speaker 2: And I pray that every single one of you watching
Speaker 2: listening from across the globe will be in a place
Speaker 2: where you're willing to let go and cast everything into
Speaker 2: the hands of God and travel light in Jesus Mighty name.
Speaker 2: I really challenge you to leave a comment if you're
Speaker 2: checking this out on Facebook lled YouTube, and also share
Speaker 2: this with someone whom you know will be blessed and
Speaker 2: I will see you back very soon. God bless you.
