0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I want

0:53 to talk to you today from something I believe is so important and a powerful

0:57 principle for us to note in culcate in our everyday life, because a lot

1:02 of times we just go by what we see. We just keep saying what

1:06 we see, and then we realize why we're not seeing a change in what

1:08 we see. Our circumstance remains the same, Our life is not changing,

1:14 it's just in the same old way. I want to share a scripture with

1:19 you, and I want to take this forward. It is found in Matthew

1:22 chapter nine. It talks about a time when there's this lady, you know,

1:26 you might have heard, who had an issue of blood for a long

1:30 time, right, And she tried everything within a capacity and nothing worked.

1:34 She spent a lot of money on all medical procedures and nothing worked. And

1:40 there is this moment where we know that in verse twenty one, a lot

1:45 of people just look at it on a superficial level, where it says,

1:49 for she said to herself, if I only touch his garment, I will

1:53 be made whole. Right, if I only touch his government, I will

1:57 be made whole. But if you look at the amplified version, and especially

2:00 amplified classic version, it says, for she kept saying to herself, if

2:07 only I touch his garment, I shall be restored to health. What I

2:12 want you guys to understand is sometimes we think that she just said it once,

2:15 Oh, if I touched Jesus's garment has been made whole. But if

2:20 you look at the amplified classic version, it's kind of says what actually is

2:25 meant in the original translation of this verse, where it says that she didn't

2:30 say this once or twice, but she kept saying to herself. She kept

2:34 saying this, if I touched him of his garment. I'm going to be

2:37 made whole. She kept on saying, you see, one of the areas

2:42 that faith manifests is through our words. What we keep speaking shows what we

2:47 believe. A lot of people say they have faith, but in their words,

2:51 they don't have any faith. Their words are so dead. The Bible

2:54 says life and death are and the part of the tongue. The Bible talks

2:58 about how God calls on things that are not as if they already are.

3:01 And He has given us that same power over our words, because as children

3:07 of God, when we open the mouth, when we use our words,

3:10 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.

3:22 She didn't just say this once, but this was her constant routine to say,

3:24 you know what. She kept on saying this, If I only touched

3:28 the hem of his garment, I will be made whole. Today, I

3:30 want to ask you, what are you constantly saying? What are your words

3:36 describing? Are you just talking about the reality of his situation, or are

3:39 you having that faith to say, you know what? I know I will

3:44 be made whole. I know my God is going to show up. I

3:46 know my God is going to make all things beautiful in my life. I

3:50 know that all things are going to work together for my good because I love

3:53 God and I'm called in accordance to His purpose. I know that in this

3:55 time He's going to make all things beautiful. I know that the even and

4:00 doubt will fade away, but God's word will remain forever. I know no

4:02 good thing will God withhold them that walk uprightly. I know my God will

4:06 meet all my needs according to his riches in glory. See. Can you

4:11 get to that place where you keep speaking it? You don't just say this

4:15 once, but you keep speaking it over and over and over and again,

4:17 and you keep decreeing and declining and standing and saying, you know what,

4:21 I'm setting the tone for my life. And my life is not set by

4:26 what the world says, not said by what my circumstances show me, but

4:30 it is set by what the Word of God is saying. Can you be

4:34 careful with what you say and keep speaking what you believe in accordinge to the

4:41 Word of God, because there is a lot of element of power in the

4:46 words that come out of your mouth. Life and death are in the part

4:49 of the tongue. This is not new age teaching, but this is reality.

4:54 And that's why you need to be careful that you don't keep speaking negative,

4:59 but start speaking the word of God, the truth of God's word,

5:02 because your life goes in the direction of your words. This lady didn't just

5:09 think to herself, you know, if I touched a him of his comment,

5:12 I'll be made whole. She didn't wish to herself, if I touched

5:15 the help of his comment, I'll be made whole. The Bible says,

5:17 She keeps saying this, She keeps speaking this. She said this to herself.

5:25 I know that if I touched the hem of God's comment, I will

5:29 be made whole. You know, one of the things I always do is,

5:31 you know, a decree and declare the word of God. You see,

5:36 life can have its way of making you get discouraged, disappointed, where

5:42 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

5:49 to that place today? I encourage each one of you. You know what

5:53 I keep doing is, you know, I keep keep on opening my mouth

5:56 and say you know what. I never say, you know, if the

5:59 minister it becomes international. I always speak like, you know what, when

6:02 God lives this ministry up, I know it's already international. I know that

6:05 God is going to show up. I know God is going to bring the

6:09 right person across my path. I know that, you know what, He's

6:11 going to make all things beautiful. So the way I speak is like,

6:15 you know what, I know my God is going to do this. I

6:17 don't just say it once or twice and didn't you know, live a normal

6:20 life. No. I keep speaking it every time possible. Every day I

6:26 decree and declare and speak it out and I say, you know what,

6:30 I know that God is going to do this. I know my God is

6:32 going to show up. I know that God is going to give me beauty

6:35 for these ashes. I know that God is going to meet my knees.

6:40 I know that Bible says no good thing we lieve with all them that walk

6:42 up rightly. And I know that certain things that I'm praying and asking the

6:45 Lord for they are good things in accordance to do his word, which means

6:48 that He is not going to withhold because I'm walking up rightly. You see,

6:51 when you get to that place where you keep speaking and what happens is

6:55 the word of God gets into your spirit because it gets into your inner man

7:00 and lifts you up and gives you the faith you need to push through till

7:04 God makes that a reality in your life. Sometimes there's so much of negativity

7:12 being pushed at us, the news media, people around us, the circumstance,

7:19 and we need to build ourselves with the wall of His word so that

7:27 you know our spirit man are inner man is strong enough to have their faith

7:30 to fight through till the miracle manifests in our life. And today I pray

7:36 in the name of Jesus that you will get to that place where you keep

7:41 speaking to yourself and keep deckering and declaring and saying, I know my God

7:46 is going to do this. Whichever area you're being praying up for God to

7:49 show up in your life. Maybe a healing say you know what I know

7:55 the Bible says, for I am the Lord that heal it to thee here.

8:00 You know the Scriptures says he sent his word and he heals all of

8:01 them. You know, keep keep speaking it. You know what I am

8:05 healed, I am made whole with long life. Will God satisfy me and

8:09 show me His salvation. Or maybe you're praying that a loud one will get

8:16 saved. Say, you know what, it's a It's not God's will for

8:20 people to petish. I know that God is going to make sure that this

8:24 person comes to the knowledge of God's salvation. The Bible says, you know,

8:28 remembering Abraham, God's saved Lord, which means God remembering me. You're

8:33 going to save that person, that person who's going into destruction, going off

8:37 track. This person is going to come back. And as for me and

8:41 my household, we will serve the Lord. Can you get to that place

8:45 where you change what you say and eventually you will see a change in what

8:50 you see. Keep speaking it, keep decrying, keep declaring, and you

8:54 will see it come to pass in your life. Amen. God bless you've
