0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I want to talk to you today from something I believe is so important and a powerful principle for us to note in culcate in our everyday life, because a lot of times we just go by what we see. We just keep saying what we see, and then we realize why we're not seeing a change in what we see. Our circumstance remains the same, Our life is not changing, it's just in the same old way. I want to share a scripture with you, and I want to take this forward. It is found in Matthew chapter nine.

1:23 It talks about a time when there's this lady, you know, you might have heard, who had an issue of blood for a long time, right, And she tried everything within a capacity and nothing worked. She spent a lot of money on all medical procedures and nothing worked. And there is this moment where we know that in verse twenty one, a lot of people just look at it on a superficial level, where it says, for she said to herself, if I only touch his garment, I will be made whole. Right, if I only touch his government, I will be made whole.

1:57 But if you look at the amplified version, and especially amplified classic version, it says, for she kept saying to herself, if only I touch his garment, I shall be restored to health. What I want you guys to understand is sometimes we think that she just said it once, Oh, if I touched Jesus's garment has been made whole. But if you look at the amplified classic version, it's kind of says what actually is meant in the original translation of this verse, where it says that she didn't say this once or twice, but she kept saying to herself.

2:33 She kept saying this, if I touched him of his garment. I'm going to be made whole. She kept on saying, you see, one of the areas that faith manifests is through our words. What we keep speaking shows what we believe. A lot of people say they have faith, but in their words, they don't have any faith. Their words are so dead. The Bible says life and death are and the part of the tongue. The Bible talks about how God calls on things that are not as if they already are. And He has given us that same power over our words, because as children of God, when we open the mouth, when we use our words, we are getting to the place where our words direct the direction of our life.

3:17 And we don't realize that. And here you see this, lady. She didn't just say this once, but this was her constant routine to say, you know what. She kept on saying this, If I only touched the hem of his garment, I will be made whole. Today, I want to ask you, what are you constantly saying? What are your words describing? Are you just talking about the reality of his situation, or are you having that faith to say, you know what? I know I will be made whole. I know my God is going to show up. I know my God is going to make all things beautiful in my life.

3:49 I know that all things are going to work together for my good because I love God and I'm called in accordance to His purpose. I know that in this time He's going to make all things beautiful. I know that the even and doubt will fade away, but God's word will remain forever. I know no good thing will God withhold them that walk uprightly. I know my God will meet all my needs according to his riches in glory. See. Can you get to that place where you keep speaking it? You don't just say this once, but you keep speaking it over and over and over and again, and you keep decreeing and declining and standing and saying, you know what, I'm setting the tone for my life.

4:24 And my life is not set by what the world says, not said by what my circumstances show me, but it is set by what the Word of God is saying. Can you be careful with what you say and keep speaking what you believe in accordinge to the Word of God, because there is a lot of element of power in the words that come out of your mouth. Life and death are in the part of the tongue. This is not new age teaching, but this is reality. And that's why you need to be careful that you don't keep speaking negative, but start speaking the word of God, the truth of God's word, because your life goes in the direction of your words.

5:07 This lady didn't just think to herself, you know, if I touched a him of his comment, I'll be made whole. She didn't wish to herself, if I touched the help of his comment, I'll be made whole. The Bible says, She keeps saying this, She keeps speaking this. She said this to herself. I know that if I touched the hem of God's comment, I will be made whole. You know, one of the things I always do is, you know, a decree and declare the word of God. You see, life can have its way of making you get discouraged, disappointed, where you have a place where you're like, oh my gosh, what's the point.

5:46 I don't see any difference in trusting God anymore? But can you get to that place today? I encourage each one of you. You know what I keep doing is, you know, I keep keep on opening my mouth and say you know what. I never say, you know, if the minister it becomes international. I always speak like, you know what, when God lives this ministry up, I know it's already international. I know that God is going to show up. I know God is going to bring the right person across my path. I know that, you know what, He's going to make all things beautiful.

6:13 So the way I speak is like, you know what, I know my God is going to do this. I don't just say it once or twice and didn't you know, live a normal life. No. I keep speaking it every time possible. Every day I decree and declare and speak it out and I say, you know what, I know that God is going to do this. I know my God is going to show up. I know that God is going to give me beauty for these ashes. I know that God is going to meet my knees. I know that Bible says no good thing we lieve with all them that walk up rightly.

6:43 And I know that certain things that I'm praying and asking the Lord for they are good things in accordance to do his word, which means that He is not going to withhold because I'm walking up rightly. You see, when you get to that place where you keep speaking and what happens is the word of God gets into your spirit because it gets into your inner man and lifts you up and gives you the faith you need to push through till God makes that a reality in your life. Sometimes there's so much of negativity being pushed at us, the news media, people around us, the circumstance, and we need to build ourselves with the wall of His word so that you know our spirit man are inner man is strong enough to have their faith to fight through till the miracle manifests in our life.

7:34 And today I pray in the name of Jesus that you will get to that place where you keep speaking to yourself and keep deckering and declaring and saying, I know my God is going to do this. Whichever area you're being praying up for God to show up in your life. Maybe a healing say you know what I know the Bible says, for I am the Lord that heal it to thee here. You know the Scriptures says he sent his word and he heals all of them. You know, keep keep speaking it. You know what I am healed, I am made whole with long life.

8:08 Will God satisfy me and show me His salvation. Or maybe you're praying that a loud one will get saved. Say, you know what, it's a It's not God's will for people to petish. I know that God is going to make sure that this person comes to the knowledge of God's salvation. The Bible says, you know, remembering Abraham, God's saved Lord, which means God remembering me. You're going to save that person, that person who's going into destruction, going off track. This person is going to come back. And as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

8:43 Can you get to that place where you change what you say and eventually you will see a change in what you see. Keep speaking it, keep decrying, keep declaring, and you will see it come to pass in your life. Amen. God bless you've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.
