Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. For quite

some time, I've shared a lot of sermons on the part of prayer.

You know, when I'm always shared and reinminded and he enforced the truth.

You know, it's not about the power in the act of prayer, but

in the power of God that you get connected with God through prayer. You're

community with the Lord. When you're connecting with God and never shared so many

servants like you know the scripture talking about that the prayer of the righteous man

availeth much. And today you and I, because of the finished work of

Christ, we are the righteousness of God in Christ, which means our prayer

is going to avail much. And I also shared about Acts chapter twelve,

when you see there are moments when Peter was in the same boat as James,

when he was about to get killed, going through the very same thing

that James was going through. But this time when the church began to pray,

there was a change in the output. People were able to see a

difference where there was a supernatural encounter and Peter was set free. And you

also think about Elijah in the Old Testament when he was praying for rain.

He kept persisting, He kept praying against the fact that you know, first

time he sends his servant, servant comes to Acts and says, hey,

no, there's no sign of rain. He prays again, sends him again,

he prays again, sends him again. You know, he is persistent,

he is standing his ground, He's standing in place of fate. He

is waiting upon the lottes is, you know, like the scripture says,

you know, ask and keep on asking, and it should be given unto

you will seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking. So

he was he was constantly going into that mode where he was not giving up,

and eventually the law showed up and showed up and showed out in his

life. And I've shared all of these to remind you guys on the part

of prayer, and today, more than ever, one of the things that

I want to share is that today, as I'm recording this to you,

this is a miracle in itself because out of the blue, the MacBook laptop

which I use for recording, stopped working. And I was like, oh

my goodness, God, I need to record a podcast episode. I need

to release today's podcast episode. God, I don't know what I would do

because I can't do this releasing and publishing on my phone. And I don't

know what to do. And I will started praying and I started speaking in

tongues. I started praying, God, you know what, You are the

one who created events in the earth. You control everything. And I prayed

in the name of Jesus Christ that this MacBook was going to start working.

And every time I prayed, I tried, it didn't work. I prayed

and I tried, and it didn't work. Just like just like Elijah,

you know, he kept praying and sent a servant and he came back and

said no, and there's no sign of rain. I prayed. I opened

and there was no sign of my laptop starting. I put it in charge.

I tried to check the charger. Nothing was working. And I didn't

know what to do because I need to release to this episode. And I

was like, God, today, I need more than ever, you know,

you to intervene when I pray. I want to see you do what

only you can do. God, you are the God of the MacBook.

You are the God who created the MacBook. You are the brain behind the

MacBook. You are able to show up and let your anointing flow. I

touched and I released a part and the annoying of God over the MacBook.

And I'm telling you, guys, the fact that I, you know,

didn't give up and then just continue to persist and pray, you know,

And and here I am telling you this that it started working out of the

blue. There's no radical explanation to it. And I'm like, Wow,

this is nothing but the hand of God. This is nothing but God showing

up and showing out and saying, you know what. The enemy can try,

the enemy can hinder, the enemy can try whatever he wants to make

you give up. Think that you know it's not going to happen. Don't

release the episode, don't be a blessing to other people. But when you

stand your ground and pray, say, God, you know what I need

to fulfill what you have called for me to do. I want you to

show up and show it when you pray, when you put your hope and

trust and reliance upon the Lord, your is a practical example for you,

right from my own life, just fresh testimony, right from now to tell

you this important truth that you know what. God is a supernatural god.

People say, you know what, pray for logical things. You know God

will answer if it's a logic could answer. But you see, there was

no logic involved because I tried everything and the laptop was not working. But

when I prayed, when I kept persisting and praying against all hearts, God

showed up and God made the laptop work. I'm telling you there's a place

where God works in ways you cannot even imagine, You cannot even comprehend.

That's the God we serve. That's the God we serve. This is not

just theory, this is practical. I remember many months ago there was a

sudden issue like this on my laptop and I don't know. I mean,

I'm praying that this laptop is a gift from the Lord that I received from

my parents, and I'm like, God, I want to use this to

you know, like for all the good things that I'm using, I don't

I don't use anything bad over it. When I was praying, you know,

and it stopped working a couple of months ago, and I was like,

what is going on. I went to the service center for this and

they said, checking all of this, they said it might cost around sixty

thousand Indian repees. Okay, that's a lot of money. That's a lot

of a lot of money. A thousand dollars is around like seven eight hundred

or something like that Indian repees. So I'm just giving you a rough value

to understand, you know, like around eight hundred or fifty two nine hundred

dollars. And I'm like, God, that's a lot of money. I

want you to do a miracle. And all I did was pray. I

didn't tell anybody. I just said, God, you can make a miracle.

You can do what only you can do. And I prayed and the

same guy called me back. You know, maybe a couple of hours later,

and he said, I don't know what, but out of the blue,

the laptop started working even today. That's the faith I had this time.

I said, God, I don't know why, because I believe that

I'm using it only for your purpose and I'm not doing anything bad. And

at the same time, you know, there's nothing thing of a reason because

this is not an old laptop. This is this is this is probably a

year or two less than two years old. And I'm like, this should

withstand right like this, it's only been two years. God. Maybe it's

a spiritual warfare or whatever, but you want I want you to show up

and God did. And why I'm sharing these testimonies to encourage you of the

power of prayer, to let you know that when you pray, God is

going to answer even when it doesn't make sense. You know that I called

up in where I was like, oh my gosh, I will I go

for nine hundred dollars. It just went away. God did a miracle.

That's the God we saw the same. God can heal somebody of sickness without

even medication. Sometimes God heals like that. God can heal a laptop even

without you going to the laptop service center without paying. That's the God be

so, guys, that's the God we saw. That's the God we saw

today. I want to encourage you to get back to the place where you

say, you know what, this is why issue I'm praying about. I'm

going to continue to pray till I see an answer. I'm going to continue

to look up to the Lord. I'm not going to give up. I

know my God is going to show up. I know my God is going

to do a miracle. One quick thing I want to share and I'm want

to close in this episode that is talking about a moment where in the Book

of Daniel, there's a moment when Daniel is persisting in prayer. Daniel is

like, God, I want you to show up. I want you to

do a miracle. He kept on praying, He kept on praying, and

Daniel chapter ten and verse twelve is something I want you guys to focus on.

You know, he kept praying for three weeks. He didncy result,

But in verse twelve, the Angel of the Lord comes and gives him the

word and he says, for the day you prayed, your prayer was heard

and I was sent. And then he goes on to say that the You

know, the enemy was constantly trying to oppose, so when you kept praying

in persistence, I was able to fight through and come here. What I

want you guys to understand is, you know sometimes you're praying from a place

where you're thinking, oh, God hasn't heard it. Maybe I need to

pray heart so that God will hear. No. Bible is clear the moment

you prayed. If you look at the message translation, is it the moment

you prayed. And when you look at other translations said the day you prayed,

God heard your prayer, which means the first time you prayed, God

heard it. But sometimes the enemy's fighting and you need to understand this is

a spiritual warfare and you need to be persistent, keep fighting, go against

all lords. And I'm telling you you will see God and say your prayers.
