GOD Doesn’t Just Sustain You — He Satisfies You | John Giftah | Christian Sermon
Tonight's Episode
Have you been living in survival mode?Just trying to cope.
Just trying to manage.
Just trying to “get through.”
In the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, the Bible doesn’t say the crowd was barely fed.
It says: “They all ate and were satisfied.”
JESUS didn’t give them just enough strength to walk home.
He didn’t give them crumbs.
He didn’t give them survival.
He gave them satisfaction.
In this powerful Christian sermon, John Giftah challenges the mindset of settling for less than what GOD has placed inside you.
GOD is not asking you to shrink your expectations.
He is not calling you to a life of constant lack.
He is able to satisfy your soul.
This episode will help you:
• Break the survival mentality
• Understand Biblical satisfaction
• Trust GOD for fullness, not fragments
• Stop settling for less than His best
If you’ve been feeling like you’re just barely making it, this message will reawaken faith.

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: in 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 International.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for
Speaker 2: the Soul with John Gifta podcast. But I'm going to
Speaker 2: talk to you today on a very very important aspect
Speaker 2: that I want you to remember with regard to understanding
Speaker 2: how God wants to show up and show out in
Speaker 2: your life. I'm going to talk to you from a
Speaker 2: very familiar passage that you might have known about when
Speaker 2: Jesus was feeding the five thousand and this is recorded.
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to you from the recorded incident
Speaker 2: in Matthew chapter fourteen, verses from thirty one. Sorry, verses
Speaker 2: from thirteen to twenty one. And this is what I
Speaker 2: want you to understand. When you paraphrase this incident, you
Speaker 2: realize that, especially if you look at worse number twenty one,
Speaker 2: it says the number of people who ate were about
Speaker 2: five thousand men besides women and children. So some people
Speaker 2: believe that could have been even twelve thousand to fifteen
Speaker 2: thousand people, including the men and the women, because the
Speaker 2: ones who were registered were the men in this regard.
Speaker 2: So yes, the thing I wanted to understand, Jesus was
Speaker 2: able to use filos of bread and two fish to
Speaker 2: feed multitudes. We speak about this so frequently, but there's
Speaker 2: one verse that I want to just talk about because
Speaker 2: a lot of times we say, you know what, listen,
Speaker 2: just bad with it, Just how little Jesus could have
Speaker 2: done that. But just the thing I want you to understand.
Speaker 2: Verse twenty says, they all ate and we're sattisfied, and
Speaker 2: the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that
Speaker 2: were left over. Now think about this word that I
Speaker 2: want you to focus on. Day all eight and we're satisfied.
Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here that the miracle
Speaker 2: that God wants to give over your life. They break
Speaker 2: through that God wants to unleashow your life. It's not
Speaker 2: going to be something where God is going to say,
Speaker 2: I know this is not the best that you were
Speaker 2: hoping for, but just bad with it. Just settle down
Speaker 2: with this. You know. I know you want a job
Speaker 2: that will suit you so that you can walk int
Speaker 2: your God given calling. But just bad with this. And
Speaker 2: just even if it affects your mind, your health, and
Speaker 2: your walk, walk with me it's okay. But but just
Speaker 2: bad with it. God is not going to do that.
Speaker 2: Or if you're praying for God to bring the right
Speaker 2: person into your life, God is not going to say,
Speaker 2: I know these are the dreams that you have, These
Speaker 2: are the desires I placed in you. But you know
Speaker 2: you just settle down, just bad with this. This is
Speaker 2: the person that you want to I want you to
Speaker 2: just go ahead. That is not the God we serve.
Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here. When God shows
Speaker 2: up in your life, it's not going to be something
Speaker 2: to just bear with. It's going to be something that's
Speaker 2: going to satisfy you. I want you to understand something here.
Speaker 2: See when Jesus did many miracles right there were many
Speaker 2: miracles of healings. For example, those people who got healed
Speaker 2: walked in that healing for the rest of their life. Right.
Speaker 2: But here you see, this was a one off thing.
Speaker 2: Like for example, if somebody was hungry there and Jesus
Speaker 2: fed the five thousand and they were satisfied. The truth
Speaker 2: of the matter is before long, most probably by the
Speaker 2: time they go back home, they might feel hungry again,
Speaker 2: or by the next meal's time, or by the next day,
Speaker 2: they will feel hungry again. Like, see what I wanted
Speaker 2: you to understand. It's not like once they got this miracle,
Speaker 2: they're never going to be hungry the rest of their life. No,
Speaker 2: it was a one off thing. It was just for
Speaker 2: that moment. So typically what we would have said at
Speaker 2: that moment is just do some miracles so that they
Speaker 2: get some food and some strength so that they can
Speaker 2: get back home and cook food, or they can get
Speaker 2: back on the way buy some food. But He's the
Speaker 2: thing I wanted to understand, even a one off thing,
Speaker 2: that it's not going to solve the rest of their life.
Speaker 2: Like it's a miracle that happened, but it's not like
Speaker 2: they're going to live in that or walk in that
Speaker 2: effect of the miracle the rest of their life. Like
Speaker 2: how a healing a person who's healed will walk in
Speaker 2: that healing the rest of their life. This is not
Speaker 2: like that. This is an incident where the person experiences
Speaker 2: the miracle, but then they go back and the next
Speaker 2: day they feel hungry again and they need to go
Speaker 2: food and eat. I hope you're getting what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: But even for a one off things, Jesus didn't say,
Speaker 2: just eat something so that your hunger is gone, or
Speaker 2: just eat something so that you have enough food for
Speaker 2: the day. But what I wanted to understand, he didn't
Speaker 2: this do that. The Bible says they all ate and
Speaker 2: were satisfied. I want you to understand if Jesus made
Speaker 2: sure that just the meal that they had for that
Speaker 2: moment was satisfying meal. I want you to know how
Speaker 2: much more the miracle that God wants to bring into
Speaker 2: your life, the job that God wants to bring over
Speaker 2: your life, the person God wants to bring over your life,
Speaker 2: the breakthrough God wants to release over your life, the
Speaker 2: clients He's going to bring over your business, or the
Speaker 2: kind of opportunities that are going to come your way,
Speaker 2: are not going to be something that God is going
Speaker 2: to say, just bad with it, I know it's not
Speaker 2: the best, or just settle down, or just you know,
Speaker 2: let's crawl through this. No, what He's going to do
Speaker 2: is going to bring a linement of satisfaction. It's going
Speaker 2: to exceed your expectations, and it's going to be something
Speaker 2: that's going to be worthwhile. And that's what I want
Speaker 2: to remind you to believe big, dream big, because that's
Speaker 2: what God wants to do over your life. Emen, God
Speaker 2: bless you.
