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

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:47 Speaker 2: the Soul with John GIFTA podcast where there's something I

0:50 Speaker 2: want to just talk to you today which will encourage

0:52 Speaker 2: you or help you when you're in the season of

0:55 Speaker 2: misery or uncertainty, or you're going through troubled waters. I'm

0:58 Speaker 2: going to share an important word with you, and I

1:00 Speaker 2: want to take this forward. If you look at Exodus,

1:05 Speaker 2: there's a moment I wanted to understand in chapter four,

1:08 Speaker 2: in the last part of this right, this is what

1:11 Speaker 2: actually happens. I want to just paraphrase how This is

1:13 Speaker 2: a moment when Moses goes to the elders of the Israelites.

1:18 Speaker 2: So we're all in bondage, right, He goes and tells them,

1:22 Speaker 2: you know that the Lord has planned to deliver them

1:25 Speaker 2: from bondage in Egypt, and he performed some miracles and

1:30 Speaker 2: all of that. And verse thirty one is what I

1:32 Speaker 2: wanted to understand. When he performed those signs, they believed.

1:37 Speaker 2: And I want you to pay attention to this. It says,

1:39 Speaker 2: and when they heard that the Lord was concerned about

1:43 Speaker 2: them and seen their misery, they bow down and worshiped. See.

1:49 Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here. Sometimes the biggest

1:53 Speaker 2: challenge that we face in our life is not the

1:56 Speaker 2: fact that God can't do something, or the fact that

1:59 Speaker 2: we are in trouble waters. It is the fact of

2:02 Speaker 2: us not realizing that the Lord is actually or genuinely

2:10 Speaker 2: concerned about us. You See, they were in deep trouble.

2:17 Speaker 2: They were going through a lot of stuff, right, and

2:19 Speaker 2: there was no ray of hope. It seemed like this

2:23 Speaker 2: is their lot. There's nothing changing today. I want to

2:26 Speaker 2: tell you something. Today. You may be feeling like John,

2:28 Speaker 2: nothing is changing. My life isn't the same mess. It

2:32 Speaker 2: was ten years ago. I'm telling you, honestly, we all

2:34 Speaker 2: face these moments. To be honest, I was just crying

2:39 Speaker 2: to the Lord about this situation with regard to the Ministry,

2:44 Speaker 2: because I really challenge you guys when you're listening to

2:47 Speaker 2: these podcasts to connect with me through Instagram or want

2:51 Speaker 2: to connect through our WhatsApp broadcasts or through YouTube, because

2:56 Speaker 2: on the podcast it's hard for me to connect directly.

2:59 Speaker 2: I really challenge you to do that. The details areted

3:02 Speaker 2: the description, and sometimes I'm telling you honestly, like you've

3:05 Speaker 2: been doing this consistently, You've been faithful, You're doing your best.

3:08 Speaker 2: But when it does not you know, like translate into

3:15 Speaker 2: certain aspects, it's really really hard. And I was just

3:19 Speaker 2: praying and I was crying to the Lot. I've been faithful,

3:21 Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a long time. I'm being

3:23 Speaker 2: honest with you. I've been running the ministry for almost

3:26 Speaker 2: fourteen years. I'm going to finish fourteen years of the

3:29 Speaker 2: ministry this year. And on YouTube, I've been consistently posting

3:35 Speaker 2: for the past ten years, and I'm like, God, I've

3:38 Speaker 2: been putting so much of effort. I've been you know, going,

3:42 Speaker 2: I've gone through a lot. I've going through a lot.

3:44 Speaker 2: I faced a lot of stuff, and I had to

3:47 Speaker 2: fight through a lot of things. And in the midst

3:50 Speaker 2: of all of that, like it feels like nothing is changing.

3:52 Speaker 2: It feels like after everything, it feels like, you know,

3:56 Speaker 2: sometimes you just feel like a failure, you know what

3:58 Speaker 2: I mean, like you just scratching the surface. That that's

4:02 Speaker 2: how we feel. And today you may be feeling like that.

4:06 Speaker 2: You may feel like people don't care, and you also

4:11 Speaker 2: feel like God also is not concerned, he doesn't care.

4:16 Speaker 2: But this worse really caught my attention because the minute

4:20 Speaker 2: they realized that God was concerned and that God had

4:25 Speaker 2: seen their misery, their response changed. They bow down in worship. See,

4:30 Speaker 2: sometimes all we need is that assurance. All we need

4:35 Speaker 2: is that understanding, all that perspective to be enlightened in

4:40 Speaker 2: our mind. All we need is that calm worde of

4:43 Speaker 2: encouragement that yes, nothing is changing. My life seems bad

4:47 Speaker 2: because right now they were still in bondage, they were

4:50 Speaker 2: still slaves. But in the midst of that, one good

4:53 Speaker 2: news gave them that assurance. Yes God is concerned, Yes

4:58 Speaker 2: God has seen all our pain, has not gone in vain,

5:02 Speaker 2: and they were able to worship the Lord today, if

5:06 Speaker 2: you can come to that place where you say, God,

5:09 Speaker 2: I'm hurt, I'm disappointed, but I know that you still

5:14 Speaker 2: are concerned about every detail of my life. You have

5:17 Speaker 2: seen my struggles. You are seeing how I was faithful

5:21 Speaker 2: when I had all the reason to just throw in

5:25 Speaker 2: the tall You have seen those moments where I stood

5:30 Speaker 2: my ground. I stood up for your convictions. I stood

5:33 Speaker 2: up for what is right. I went with the spirit

5:36 Speaker 2: of excellence. I operated with that spirit of excellence and

5:39 Speaker 2: an integrity. I went the extra man. I did all

5:43 Speaker 2: of these things, and I believe just because nothing has

5:48 Speaker 2: happened doesn't mean nothing is going to happen. I believe

5:51 Speaker 2: the same way you came and gave that word through Moses,

5:54 Speaker 2: with an assurance don't worry, this too should pass and

5:58 Speaker 2: you're coming out. Believe that I will come out, and

6:02 Speaker 2: every single person listening will experience this assurance in their

6:06 Speaker 2: life that the Lord will show up. The Lord will

6:11 Speaker 2: show up. And let this word encourage you today, even

6:14 Speaker 2: in the midst of your uncertainty that the Lord is

6:16 Speaker 2: going to show up, but before everything, he's giving you

6:20 Speaker 2: this assurance that he is concerned about you and He

6:24 Speaker 2: has seen your pain. Nothing is going in vain. The

6:27 Speaker 2: Lord is about the show up in your life. Amen,

6:31 Speaker 2: God bless you.
