0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Hey, guys, it's such a joy for me to be with all of you today. And guess what. We are just touching four under day ninety first episode mark on this daily podcast. And I'm so grateful because you're just hardly ten days away from touching the final episode mark, and I'm really praying that I would be able to do something nice for the final episode. I'm encourage you guys to also continue praying, and if you have any ideas you want to connect with me, I would love to hear from you.

1:23 And I also really want you guys to pray for me because the last couple of days have been really, really, really bad for me. And I'm just clicking onto the Lord and I'm just going to be sharing something that the Lord encouraged me from his word, and I thought it would encourage you guys for today's episode. But I really need your press because it's really over the cliff right now. So I want to just start off by sharing this from the Message version Psalm thirty one, and I'm just going to read out to you where it says disarmist is saying, I run to you, Lord, I run for dear life.

1:57 Don't let me down. Take me seriously this time. I mean like when I saw the choice of words, Take me seriously this time. It's like, you know, every time, I want you to take me seriously. God. Every prayer is important, but sometimes you know, and we just pray. God. You know, I wish you would change my circumstance, You would change my situation, you change things around in my life. That that's a different thing. But sometimes we are in the club desperador. We need a touch from God. We need God to make a move, we need God to do something.

2:26 And the other was the Psalmist who's hoping and hoping up and pouring out his heart to the Lord. And today, if you want to do the same, I want you to just do the same. God, take me seriously. I'm not kidding here. I need a touch from you. I need you to show up in my life. I need you to change the trajectory of my life. I need you to do something. I want an intervention because this is a place where without you I cannot do anything. Do you understand what I'm talking about? This is the place he was saying, And then he says, get down on my level and listen, and please, no procrastination.

3:03 I don't know who this world is for, but some of us are in a place where we want God to do something and we want God to do it now, no procrastination. See, when we think about there is an aspect of you know, God's timing which is the best, and we should wait upon God for his timing. And all of those things are true because God has the right appointed time to show himself up and in his time he will make all things beautiful. All those things are true. But at the same time, when we look at John chapter two in case of you know the wine running out at wedding.

3:33 Right when maybe he comes and tells Jesus, Jesus says, women, my time is not yet come. But then the next minute, you see, he just goes and he turns water into wine. Right, was he waiting like, okay, fine, you know die di dic two. Yes, my time came. And then he ran no, it's not because the time had come. You know that Jesus waited to turn the water into wine. But he was moved by the faith. He was moved by the fact that, you know what, if I don't act now, there's no point in me turning what it into I and after ten days or after you know, one year or something, because now is the time I need to act.

4:12 So you know, sometimes we need to ask God to act at that moment because you can't expect I mean, and he's also expecting us to have the faith to believe that he would act. And say, you know what, God, I don't want any procrastination. Now I want you to act, and I want you to act now. Today's the day. This is the moment, and I want you to do it right. So there are miracles that happened, you have to wait and all that, but there are things that will happen suddenly, quickly, shiftly when you just believe that God is not a god who's going to procrastinate, but he's going to act right now.

4:47 But he's going to act depending on you going to him with boldness, sensaying I need you to intervene right Maybe had the courage to go and say, Jesus, this is the problem, and she the courage to after jesus Is comment, she had the courage to go to the people and say whatever he says to do, do it. She didn't say, oh, finely, I think Jesus is not going to do it. And she didn't keep him out shut. She showed with the faith, with the words, with our actions, that she had the faith that, you know what, even if this is not the time yet for Jesus to show himself up, but I know that he will do something.

5:20 Can you have that kind of faith? And I just want to let you know versefy, He says, I put my hand, my life in your hands. You won't drop me and you will never let me down. Today we have that assurance that we even when you don't have anything else to hold on too, if you can put your whole life in the hands of God. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He will not drop us, and he will never let us down. He will not abandon us, even not forsake us. And that's the hope that you and I have. And today, guys, I don't know what you guys are facing.

5:53 I don't know what challenges are there in your life. You may have things that are not going out the way you wanted. But you know what we have that hope that no matter how things maybe beyond your control, but they will never go beyond the control of Almighty God. God is still on your side. God is a good God, a loving father. Yes, sometimes we make mistakes, we are humans, and we fail, we ask God for forgiveness, we get up and we continue to you know, walk in that mercy and grace from the Lord. But then you know, at the end of the day when we go God is a good God, He's a dad, and He's going to ensure that he will not leave us of forsake us, or drop us, or abandon ourself forsake us.

6:36 And that's the assurance that we have. And today, if you guys are going through a hard time in your life, I just want to pray in Jesus Name, Lord, that every single person listening, let them experience your touch, Let them experience your goodness, let them experience your hand upon their life. Lord, show yourself up like the way even though you said this is not my time, but still you changed your mind and went and turned the war into wine. We believe you're not God who's going to protestinate because you know what is the right time to show up.

7:04 You know the right time to show up in our life when we need it. Absolutely, we need a touch from you. We pray that you will show yourself up and we believe, we decree, we declare that you're going to do something spectacular, something amazing, and your name will be lifted and glorified in and through our life. In Jesus Name, we pray a man, God bless you. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. We hope you were blessed and inspired to live the life that God has for you.
