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. All through this week
Speaker 2: we're looking at various aspects would regard to the Word
Speaker 2: of God, and today one of the things I wanted
Speaker 2: to understand is how the Word of God brings direction
Speaker 2: to our life. See. I want you to understand the
Speaker 2: Bible say in Psalm undred and nineteen one, not five,
Speaker 2: the diverd is a lamp unto my feet and the
Speaker 2: light onto my path. See. One of the ways to
Speaker 2: get clarity away your life, direction of your life. To
Speaker 2: know that God wants you to do certain things is
Speaker 2: to actually be in a place where you're having the
Speaker 2: relationship with God through his word. Because a lot of
Speaker 2: times people want clarity, they want God to speak to them,
Speaker 2: but they will never open the word. See, there are
Speaker 2: times God does speak through dreams, visions, and I believe
Speaker 2: in that. And God has used and spoken through all
Speaker 2: of those things, angelic encounters and through people through different things.
Speaker 2: God speaks through all of those things. But the underlying
Speaker 2: principle you need to understand is, even if God speaks
Speaker 2: to you through everything else, the word, the vision, the
Speaker 2: dreams and people and all that, it should always be
Speaker 2: rooted in the logos word. It should be rooted in
Speaker 2: the written word because people can come out and tell
Speaker 2: you the Lord told me this, This is the word
Speaker 2: of the Lord. But if it is not in line
Speaker 2: with the logos, the written word of God. Why am
Speaker 2: I specifying logos and the written word? Because I've spoken
Speaker 2: about this. I encourage you to check out the second
Speaker 2: episode on the series this week. But I told you
Speaker 2: the difference between the spoken word and the written word,
Speaker 2: because if you do not know the difference, you will
Speaker 2: always struggle to identify which is the word that will
Speaker 2: actually transform you and how to receive that word. I
Speaker 2: really encourage you to go back and check that episode
Speaker 2: out because it's so important. But first thing I wanted
Speaker 2: to understand, if you want God to speak to you,
Speaker 2: it will always be the Lord speak to speaking to
Speaker 2: you in the chordings, in line with the written word
Speaker 2: of God. See one of the times I had to
Speaker 2: go and minister in a certain place and there were
Speaker 2: a lot of people saying, don't go because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2: Because I want you to understand. As much as many
Speaker 2: of us watch or listen from the place of comfort
Speaker 2: like everything is great, you have the liberty to listen.
Speaker 2: Maybe you at the liberty to go to church. You
Speaker 2: had the ability to attend a service without any problem,
Speaker 2: But there are places where it's a risk. I remember
Speaker 2: I had to go and minister in a certain place
Speaker 2: and it was a risky place because the place has
Speaker 2: a lot of opposition towards Christian ministry and or activities,
Speaker 2: and there was danger involve I'm not denying that. In fact,
Speaker 2: when I had reached the first thing the pastor said
Speaker 2: was hope nothing happens. It was dangerous, but that's how
Speaker 2: God calls us to go into the danger places and minister.
Speaker 2: But again, I have to be wise, right. I can't
Speaker 2: just go to some place without getting the word from
Speaker 2: the Lord. How did I know that I had to go?
Speaker 2: I was asking the Lord for confirmation because there were
Speaker 2: different voices saying don't go. The Lord is telling me
Speaker 2: you should not go, and all of that, and I
Speaker 2: kept asking the Lord to speak to me directly, and
Speaker 2: the Lord led me to go and read through the
Speaker 2: incident recorded in Asks chapter ten, and if you look
Speaker 2: at verse twenty, the Lord specifically led me to that verse.
Speaker 2: It's a moment when Peter is contemplating when he gets
Speaker 2: an invitation to go and minister in Cornelius's house, and
Speaker 2: he's contemplating whether he should go or not, and the
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit speaks to him and says, do not hesitate
Speaker 2: to go, for HIRE sent them. So God used that word.
Speaker 2: The minute I read that written word. It was the
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit who led me to that written word. And
Speaker 2: from that written word came the rama word, the spoken
Speaker 2: word to me saying listen, that's the word for you.
Speaker 2: And he said, do not hesitate to go, for I
Speaker 2: sent you this invitation. The maid God told me to go.
Speaker 2: I didn't care a bit about anybody's opinion. I didn't
Speaker 2: care about who said what. There were those who even
Speaker 2: said that I was following the devil to go there,
Speaker 2: and Minister, you know, I didn't bother about it. I said,
Speaker 2: you know what, if God is asking me to do it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I don't worry because He has spoken
Speaker 2: to me through his word, through his spirit and gave
Speaker 2: me the rama word of confirmation that I should go.
Speaker 2: And Minister, I went to this place, ministered in this
Speaker 2: three day crusade, spoke to a lot of young people
Speaker 2: through the youth conference and to church and all of that.
Speaker 2: The Lord was in it, and the Lord's hand was
Speaker 2: powerful in that crusade and meetings. So that's what I
Speaker 2: want it to understand that when the Lord tells you
Speaker 2: through his word, his word will be that guiding force.
Speaker 2: So when God has given you his word, take it.
Speaker 2: God's word is available. A lot of people are running
Speaker 2: here and there. I want this vision. I don't I
Speaker 2: want that dream. See, God speaks through all of that.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love God speaking through dreams and visions.
Speaker 2: God has done that so many times. I love that
Speaker 2: I can talk to you so much about it. But
Speaker 2: I don't idolize that. I never say God, I will
Speaker 2: listen to you only if you speak to me through
Speaker 2: a dream or a vision. Now God, God can speak
Speaker 2: to you through anything. But the thing is this, The
Speaker 2: ultimatum is always you hungry to hear him. And how
Speaker 2: do you show that you're hungry. It's by you feeding
Speaker 2: on his word. You're being intentional and say, you know what, God,
Speaker 2: I want to read this word. I want to feed
Speaker 2: on this word. I want to receive this word. I
Speaker 2: want you to speak to me through your word. And
Speaker 2: when you do that, what happens That logo's word. He's
Speaker 2: not going to just be some information. God will speak
Speaker 2: to you personally and he will direct your steps. He
Speaker 2: will tell you go here, He will tell you do this,
Speaker 2: talk to this person. I still remember. There was a
Speaker 2: moment when I interviewed rather Sambuil than a current of
Speaker 2: the Jesus cost ministries. You can check out that interview
Speaker 2: on my YouTube channel or if you go down on
Speaker 2: the podcast platform. Here's the thing he said this how
Speaker 2: there was a moment when he wants to make a
Speaker 2: decision about a live partner and he was like, oh God,
Speaker 2: you know this particular proposal came, but is this what
Speaker 2: it is? It looked a picture perfect on paper, but
Speaker 2: he asked the Law to speak through the world. And
Speaker 2: he says how when he was reading the word specifically
Speaker 2: while he was praying about this, he got a worse
Speaker 2: which says, she will be detrimental, detrimental to your calling,
Speaker 2: or something on those lines. And she knew he knew
Speaker 2: that this was not the way supposed to be. And
Speaker 2: he said, I'm sorry, I'm not taking this forward. So
Speaker 2: you see how God will speak to you through his word,
Speaker 2: the right verse at the right time, the right word
Speaker 2: at the right time. I still remember there was a
Speaker 2: moment when my grandma became very sick at one point
Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, and we did not know
Speaker 2: what was happening because we had to call in the
Speaker 2: ambulance and rush and it was so scary. And I
Speaker 2: was there and I'm like, God, what do you want
Speaker 2: me to I mean, like, I started speaking in tongues.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand what was happening. Whether this was my
Speaker 2: grandma's going to pass away or is going to happen.
Speaker 2: I didn't know at that moment. The Lord put a
Speaker 2: worse in my spirit. I do not know what it is.
Speaker 2: It was just something very random. So I just Google
Speaker 2: to see what that verse was, and that was a
Speaker 2: worse that referred to God as the balm of Gilliad,
Speaker 2: which is basically how he brings healing. And I was like,
Speaker 2: I didn't expect a healing verse to pop up. I
Speaker 2: never knew this verse existed. I never knew this worse
Speaker 2: or the reference or anything. How did that happen? The
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit putting the right word and giving that words
Speaker 2: for assurance is I'm the healer and God healed my
Speaker 2: grandma at that point. See, that's what I wanted to understand.
Speaker 2: That is how God will spit you through his word.
Speaker 2: And when you allow the word to be the one
Speaker 2: guiding you, you will see God speaking to you, leading you,
Speaker 2: guiding you, giving you the direction, and you will be
Speaker 2: sustained by that word comes from the mouth of God.
Speaker 2: I really challenge you to make that intentional step this
Speaker 2: week to take the word of God most seriously and
Speaker 2: allow the Word to direct your life. I really recommend
Speaker 2: you to leave a comment if you're checking this on
Speaker 2: YouTube or Facebook and share this with someone if you
