0:40 International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Yes, this

0:53 is something that I've shared about many times, a lot of times, and

0:57 this is a passage that I've spoken about several times in my messages. But

1:03 you know, I want to tell you guys, you know, this is

1:04 maybe something that you can take as a reminder, or it could be something

1:08 that comes as a as a gentle rebuke or a word of exhaltation for you

1:15 so that you will apply it in your life. You know, I'll tell

1:17 you honestly, a lot of times, we know the scriptures, we know

1:21 what the Bible says, but the reason we are still worried. The reason

1:25 we are still filled with anxiety, the reason we speak as if we are

1:29 of the people of the world with no hope and we don't know how things

1:33 are going to be, is not because we don't know the Bible. It's

1:37 because we are not applying what we know into our lives, right, That's

1:42 what I want to remind you. You know, in the last couple of

1:46 days, a couple of people made comments about me, saying, John,

1:49 You're not concerned, you have no concern about the reality of your life,

1:53 you know, concerning major stuff happening in my life. And the truth is,

1:57 it's not that I don't care or I don't have any concern or I

2:00 don't bother about it. But every time i have a sense of worry or

2:05 any time I'm concerned about something, you know, I just do the Bible.

2:08 I just telling you, honestly, I took to the Bible. I

2:10 would immediately go to the scripture because this has been my guiding scripture for me

2:15 in this area of Philippin and chapter four, and I'm reading from the Nulti

2:20 version. In verse six, it says, don't worry about anything instead of

2:23 pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank you for what he

2:28 has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything you can

2:32 understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ

2:38 Jesus. And I'm telling you, guys, this scripture has been the reality

2:40 of my life. I'm telling you, in the midst of uncertainty, in

2:44 the midst of so much of turmoil, in the midst of so many questions,

2:47 in the midst of so much of questions on my faith, I'm telling

2:51 you I always went back to the word of God. I've always went back

2:53 to what the Lord has already spoken, every time I was tempted to worry,

2:57 every time I had anxiety attacks. I'm telling honestly, even a couple

3:00 of days back, in the middle of the night, I was woken up

3:04 with so many questions and thoughts. It's just, you know, kept me

3:07 awake. And every time such things happen, immediately I would turn to the

3:10 Lord. Immediately I would convert that into prayer. And I encourage you guys

3:16 to do that. I truly encourage you guys to do that. I know

3:20 it's not easy. I know it's something you'd be like, oh, I

3:23 know this already, but KENNETHI is something. Sometimes the real reason is that

3:27 we think that we already know it and we don't need to know it again.

3:30 But sometimes sometimes I listen to the same messages by certain renowned ministers again

3:35 and again, even if it seems repetitive, because you know, the scripture

3:38 says fate comes by the hearing of the word. Not when you hear once

3:40 and forget it, but you constantly hear, you constantly feed on it,

3:45 you constantly pondered on it. When you constantly get to that same scripture and

3:49 really say, you know what, I want to live this scripture, not

3:52 just read it, not just know it, but I want to live in

3:53 it. I want to walk in it. When you walk with that,

3:57 this becomes your reality. You know what I did every time I've reminded,

4:01 every time I'm feel like giving up, every time I feel like, you

4:05 know, for a sense of hopelessness, I would immediately start praying, speaking

4:09 in tongues. So I'm telling you, guys, I have seen the sense

4:13 of peace. You know. I love how the message uation talks about the

4:15 same passage. You know, the message uation says like this, You know

4:17 a sense of great peace and knowing comes and fills in and settles you down.

4:23 That's what the Bible says. You know, even if your outside is

4:26 not settled, you settle down first. And Dart's settling down comes when you

4:30 convert your prayer point into prayer. Instead of worrying about it, instead of

4:38 being anxious about it, pray about it. I know it's a very simple

4:42 message. It's a very simple thought that you want to hurt a million times.

4:46 But I'm telling you, I'm speaking from a place. This is being

4:49 the reality of my life and to the fact that people actually think that I'm

4:54 not worried. How can I be so happy? Maybe you know I don't

4:57 understand the seriousness. No, it's not because I don't understand the sea business.

5:00 It's because you know what Being in the presence of God, you know,

5:02 takes away the body. Being in the presence of God removes anxiety.

5:06 Being in the presence of God, you know, you can see that God

5:11 is in control. I don't know how I can explain it. I can't

5:13 put my finger on it, but I know, and I know without a

5:15 sheriff a doubt that all is well. And I go I want to share

5:18 that with you guys and encourage you today. You know, if you are

5:21 worried, if you are anxious, are you praying about it? Are you

5:25 taking it to the Lord? How are you depending on the Lord? It's

5:28 not just prayer as an act of performance or an act of ritual or putting

5:31 your hair. You know, faith on the act of prayer. But it's

5:34 about taking it to the Lord. It's about your relationship with God. It's

5:39 about you conveying it to the Lord. And I want to tell you your

5:43 life will never be the same again. You've been listening to Fuel for the
