0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:47 Speaker 2: the Soul with John gift of podcasts. And I'm so

0:49 Speaker 2: grateful that you're joining us on this segment. But I'm

0:52 Speaker 2: going to talk about a very very important thing that

0:54 Speaker 2: I believe that is so needed for us. We are

0:57 Speaker 2: praying that God would do a miracle. Maybe you praying

1:00 Speaker 2: for a breakthrough in a certain area. You're saying, you

1:02 Speaker 2: know what, I've been working on my business for a

1:04 Speaker 2: long time, but I'm not able to take it to

1:07 Speaker 2: the next level. Or you're working on your ministry or

1:09 Speaker 2: a YouTube channel, or maybe a podcast to yourself, or

1:12 Speaker 2: maybe you're just trying to build a community or taking

1:15 Speaker 2: steps towards your God given calling and purpose. And you're saying,

1:18 Speaker 2: I'm praying for this miracle moment. I'm praying for this breakthrough.

1:21 Speaker 2: I'm praying for God to, you know, help me get

1:23 Speaker 2: to the next level. I feel like there's something just

1:27 Speaker 2: keeping me right where I am. I feel stagnant, I

1:29 Speaker 2: feel stuck. I feel like I'm still crawling on the surface.

1:32 Speaker 2: I'm not able to get an edge in this area.

1:35 Speaker 2: And I'm praying, and I don't understand why. No matter

1:38 Speaker 2: how much I'm praying, no matter how much I'm working hard,

1:41 Speaker 2: I'm not seeing the results that I'm hoping for. Well,

1:45 Speaker 2: I just want to share something very very important with you,

1:47 Speaker 2: right I want to take to you, talk to you today.

1:50 Speaker 2: First of all, from Luke chapter one, and this is

1:53 Speaker 2: what it says, verse one onwards. Many I have undertaken

1:58 Speaker 2: to draw up an account of the things that have

2:01 Speaker 2: been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down

2:05 Speaker 2: to us by those who were the first eyewitnesses and

2:08 Speaker 2: servants of the world. With this in mind, since I

2:12 Speaker 2: myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning. I too,

2:17 Speaker 2: decided to write an account for you. This is Luke

2:22 Speaker 2: saying this. Okay, is a doctor and he has said this.

2:26 Speaker 2: He's saying, you know what, Many people set out to write, Okay,

2:30 Speaker 2: many of them started to write an account of the

2:32 Speaker 2: things that have been happening. And so I also decided

2:35 Speaker 2: to write. Now, I do not know who I'm talking to,

2:38 Speaker 2: but some of you are like, you know what I know.

2:39 Speaker 2: Many people have started out to start a ministry or

2:42 Speaker 2: many people started out taking a step towards their God

2:45 Speaker 2: given calling. Many people started out a business in a

2:48 Speaker 2: certain direction. Many people started out with regard to their career.

2:51 Speaker 2: Many people took steps with regard to maybe even relationships.

2:54 Speaker 2: But for some reason, you're saying many took the step.

2:57 Speaker 2: But yes, the thing I wanted to understand very important here.

3:00 Speaker 2: According to some studies, you know, they say that about

3:04 Speaker 2: seventy two gospels that were written. Okay, there was the

3:07 Speaker 2: gospels that we know of are the once canonized and

3:10 Speaker 2: I recorded in the Word of God, that is in

3:13 Speaker 2: the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But

3:16 Speaker 2: there are so many other gospels that were written. You know,

3:19 Speaker 2: the accounts that were written. There were the Gnostic Gospels,

3:22 Speaker 2: there were you know, like some just to name a few,

3:24 Speaker 2: Gospel according to Thomas, Gospel according to even Judas, Gospel

3:28 Speaker 2: according to Mary, and so on and so forth. There

3:30 Speaker 2: were so many gospels written, but only four were selected.

3:34 Speaker 2: The four were canonized with the four that were in

3:36 Speaker 2: spite of the only spirit and selected. Yes, the thing

3:38 Speaker 2: I wanted to remember, very very importantly, everybody wrote, but

3:43 Speaker 2: only four gods selected. That reminds me of the scripture

3:48 Speaker 2: I want to share in the Book of Corinthians, First Corinthians,

3:52 Speaker 2: Chapter nine, verse twenty four, which is what it says.

3:56 Speaker 2: You know, everybody runs, but you must run in such

3:59 Speaker 2: a way that you win. Right. There may be many

4:03 Speaker 2: people running, but are you running in such a way

4:07 Speaker 2: that you win? There may be many people who are writing,

4:11 Speaker 2: but are you writing in such a way that you win?

4:13 Speaker 2: Are you writing in such a way that you are

4:15 Speaker 2: getting selected? I do not know. I mean, if you

4:18 Speaker 2: know this, this podcast, by the Grace of God is

4:20 Speaker 2: a top ranking podcast, trending and ranking in India and

4:23 Speaker 2: many other countries regularly. And I'm grateful to each one

4:26 Speaker 2: of you are listening, and I really encourage you to

4:28 Speaker 2: connect with me through the socials or other means. I

4:30 Speaker 2: would love to hear from you, and I'm grateful to

4:33 Speaker 2: each one of you who've been listening. But on a

4:36 Speaker 2: similar note, my books, also, by the grace of God,

4:38 Speaker 2: I have hit the best seller status, you know, including

4:41 Speaker 2: the number one rank on Amazon, including my main book,

4:47 Speaker 2: Unveil Your Purpose, which you know, like broke a lot

4:50 Speaker 2: of records in terms of the way it did, and

4:53 Speaker 2: I really didn't expect it to do it the way

4:55 Speaker 2: it did. But yes, the thing I ordered to understand,

4:57 Speaker 2: many people wrote, but it's a different ballgame to write

5:01 Speaker 2: in such a way that you actually win. You do

5:04 Speaker 2: it in such a way that you hit the number

5:06 Speaker 2: one best sell attack, you know, even on the podcast

5:10 Speaker 2: for that matter. You know, when I started off the podcast,

5:13 Speaker 2: I started with just recording on my phone. Then I

5:15 Speaker 2: migrated to using a good microphone, and then I migrated

5:20 Speaker 2: to a higher quality microphone, and eventually right now I'm

5:23 Speaker 2: using this microphone, which is like among the top microphones

5:27 Speaker 2: that a lot of podcasters, YouTubers and radio hosts, hosts,

5:30 Speaker 2: you know, they all use this SM seven B. Like,

5:34 Speaker 2: eventually I started upgrading to such a way that when

5:37 Speaker 2: I say that a podcast to stop ranking, you know,

5:40 Speaker 2: the content should be top ranking, the quality should be

5:44 Speaker 2: the best. Of course, I'm doing it as a human,

5:47 Speaker 2: an individual who is doing this by myself. I'm not

5:50 Speaker 2: a production unit or something. I don't have a protection

5:53 Speaker 2: unit or something that stuff now, so I'm not in

5:55 Speaker 2: a position to do it to that quality. But the

5:58 Speaker 2: best of my ability. I know that I'm doing the

6:01 Speaker 2: best that I can with what God has given me. See,

6:03 Speaker 2: that's what I wanted to understand. If you really want

6:05 Speaker 2: to see, you know, progress, if you want to see

6:08 Speaker 2: a growth, you want to see that the Lord is

6:10 Speaker 2: taking you to that winning or to that selection, or

6:14 Speaker 2: to step into the calling that you've been praying and

6:16 Speaker 2: hoping for. I challenged it you check yourself in introspect.

6:20 Speaker 2: Are you writing in such a way that you'll be selected?

6:23 Speaker 2: Are you winning or are you running in such a

6:28 Speaker 2: way that you win? Are you doing whatever you're calling

6:31 Speaker 2: your call to do in such a way that you

6:33 Speaker 2: will be able to stand out, You will be able

6:35 Speaker 2: to win, you will be able to be victorious. And

6:38 Speaker 2: that is my challenge to each one of you, And

6:40 Speaker 2: that is one of my voice. It's wanting to pray

6:42 Speaker 2: for a miracle, pray for a breakthrough, and all of

6:44 Speaker 2: those things. There's a place for all of that, but

6:46 Speaker 2: it's another thing to make sure that you are actually

6:50 Speaker 2: doing the best you can, running the race in such

6:53 Speaker 2: a way that you can win. That you're writing in

6:56 Speaker 2: such a way that you can be selected and be

6:59 Speaker 2: victorious in Jesus name.
