Interviewing Annie Mayfield - Part 4 - Just For You | John Giftah Podcast

0:00 Speaker 1: Like even Jesus, like he the you know, the good shepherd,

0:02 Speaker 1: he leaves the ninety nine for the one. And I think,

0:05 Speaker 1: you know, all throughout scripture, you see Jesus he he

0:09 Speaker 1: he bounces between crowds of people he's preaching to and

0:14 Speaker 1: then little groups of people or just one person. He

0:17 Speaker 1: even tells like, don't go tell people about what I did.

0:20 Speaker 1: And so I think it's like you see this dance

0:23 Speaker 1: between like being faithful to the one being faithful behind

0:27 Speaker 1: the closed doors. Like when he healed Peter's mother right

0:30 Speaker 1: or mother in law and she was sick, Like that

0:32 Speaker 1: was behind closed doors. And that was right after we

0:34 Speaker 1: came back from the wilderness and was preaching in Galilee

0:36 Speaker 1: and like in the hYP like he was getting so hype.

0:38 Speaker 1: And I think if that was us, we would be like,

0:40 Speaker 1: this is the worst time to go do miracles behind

0:43 Speaker 1: closed doors. I need to capitalized on this momentum. I

0:46 Speaker 1: need to capitalize on this. But but Jesus knew. It's

0:49 Speaker 1: like it is a dance between yes, like I have

0:51 Speaker 1: a mission to feed the world, to feed lots of people,

0:55 Speaker 1: but that includes making sure people know I didn't just

0:59 Speaker 1: come to feed the masses. I came to feed the

1:01 Speaker 1: one like I don't like I think some of us

1:04 Speaker 1: sometimes we look at God's love for us as a

1:06 Speaker 1: group insurance policy. It's like Jesus's blood, it covers all,

1:09 Speaker 1: but he doesn't like He's like the host of a

1:11 Speaker 1: party that he invited you to, but he doesn't really

1:13 Speaker 1: want to get to know you. He just wants you

1:15 Speaker 1: in the house having fun. No, God wants to sit

1:18 Speaker 1: with you. He wants to know you. He wants to

1:21 Speaker 1: know John, he wants to know Annie. And I think, like,

1:24 Speaker 1: how beautiful. I mean, I could just cry, like when

1:26 Speaker 1: I talk about, like how beautiful of a savior that

1:30 Speaker 1: he came to die for everyone, but also just for me,

1:34 Speaker 1: just for you. It's just so I mean, you can't

1:38 Speaker 1: It's just you can't even wrap your head around it. Sometimes.

1:40 Speaker 2: You know, this is actually a one of my chapters

1:45 Speaker 2: in one of my books that oh Am I The

1:47 Speaker 2: title of the chapter is just for You, where it

1:51 Speaker 2: actually Yeah, the fact I read someone saying is that

1:53 Speaker 2: you know, if you were the only person on the

1:55 Speaker 2: planet thought Jesus would have still come down and lived

1:57 Speaker 2: his life, died and rose again just for you. And

2:00 Speaker 2: I also go on to share about how In Second King,

2:03 Speaker 2: chapter twenty, one of my favorite incidents, it says that

2:06 Speaker 2: God made the Son to go back just for the

2:09 Speaker 2: sake of one man called Hessekiah. He didn't do it

2:11 Speaker 2: for the sake of the whole world. He didn't do

2:13 Speaker 2: it for everybody. He didn't do it for the whole

2:15 Speaker 2: nation of Israel. He did it for the sake of

2:17 Speaker 2: one man and his faith. And that really shook me, like, wow,

2:21 Speaker 2: you know, just for one man, he made the Son

2:24 Speaker 2: to go back, Like to what extent, to what magnitude

2:27 Speaker 2: God wants to do in and through our life, right,

2:30 Speaker 2: like sometimes we just limit God like and that gave

2:33 Speaker 2: me the faith. There was a time when two times

2:35 Speaker 2: I've called and God brought on rain. There was one

2:38 Speaker 2: incident where it hadn't rained for almost three months, and

2:41 Speaker 2: I got a I got just like Asakah said, you know,

2:44 Speaker 2: if this word is true that I'm going to live

2:46 Speaker 2: for fifteen more years, let it let the sun go back.

2:49 Speaker 2: I said, God, if this word is true, make it

2:51 Speaker 2: rain today. And that day it rained, and again did

2:54 Speaker 2: it rain for the next three weeks. So in a

2:56 Speaker 2: period of three and a half months, the only day

2:59 Speaker 2: it rained was the day rain when I ask God

3:00 Speaker 2: to bring it, bring down rain and confirm, just like

3:03 Speaker 2: he did it for Zachiah. And listening to my sermon,

3:06 Speaker 2: somebody else in another country, in one of the Middle

3:09 Speaker 2: Eastern countries, he wanted a confirmation of a word from

3:13 Speaker 2: God and said, God, this is not the rainy season.

3:15 Speaker 2: Can you make it rain to confirm this world? And

3:17 Speaker 2: he asked God and it rained that day and he

3:22 Speaker 2: was shocked. So what I'm saying is it's not just

3:24 Speaker 2: about the rain or the sun, but look at the

3:27 Speaker 2: fact that God wants to do great things just for you.
