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 the Soul with John gift of podcasts. And I'm so grateful that you're joining us on this segment. But I'm going to talk about a very very important thing that I believe that is so needed for us. We are praying that God would do a miracle. Maybe you praying for a breakthrough in a certain area. You're saying, you know what, I've been working on my business for a long time, but I'm not able to take it to the next level. Or you're working on your ministry or a YouTube channel, or maybe a podcast to yourself, or maybe you're just trying to build a community or taking steps towards your God given calling and purpose.

1:17 Speaker 2: And you're saying, I'm praying for this miracle moment. I'm praying for this breakthrough. I'm praying for God to, you know, help me get to the next level. I feel like there's something just keeping me right where I am. I feel stagnant, I feel stuck. I feel like I'm still crawling on the surface. I'm not able to get an edge in this area. And I'm praying, and I don't understand why. No matter how much I'm praying, no matter how much I'm working hard, I'm not seeing the results that I'm hoping for.

1:44 Speaker 2: Well, I just want to share something very very important with you, right I want to take to you, talk to you today. First of all, from Luke chapter one, and this is what it says, verse one onwards. Many I have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who were the first eyewitnesses and servants of the world. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning. I too, decided to write an account for you.

2:21 Speaker 2: This is Luke saying this. Okay, is a doctor and he has said this. He's saying, you know what, Many people set out to write, Okay, many of them started to write an account of the things that have been happening. And so I also decided to write. Now, I do not know who I'm talking to, but some of you are like, you know what I know. Many people have started out to start a ministry or many people started out taking a step towards their God given calling. Many people started out a business in a certain direction.

2:48 Speaker 2: Many people started out with regard to their career. Many people took steps with regard to maybe even relationships. But for some reason, you're saying many took the step. But yes, the thing I wanted to understand very important here. According to some studies, you know, they say that about seventy two gospels that were written. Okay, there was the gospels that we know of are the once canonized and I recorded in the Word of God, that is in the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But there are so many other gospels that were written.

3:18 Speaker 2: You know, the accounts that were written. There were the Gnostic Gospels, there were you know, like some just to name a few, Gospel according to Thomas, Gospel according to even Judas, Gospel according to Mary, and so on and so forth. There were so many gospels written, but only four were selected. The four were canonized with the four that were in spite of the only spirit and selected. Yes, the thing I wanted to remember, very very importantly, everybody wrote, but only four gods selected. That reminds me of the scripture I want to share in the Book of Corinthians, First Corinthians, Chapter nine, verse twenty four, which is what it says.

3:56 Speaker 2: You know, everybody runs, but you must run in such a way that you win. Right. There may be many people running, but are you running in such a way that you win? There may be many people who are writing, but are you writing in such a way that you win? Are you writing in such a way that you are getting selected? I do not know. I mean, if you know this, this podcast, by the Grace of God is a top ranking podcast, trending and ranking in India and many other countries regularly. And I'm grateful to each one of you are listening, and I really encourage you to connect with me through the socials or other means.

4:30 Speaker 2: I would love to hear from you, and I'm grateful to each one of you who've been listening. But on a similar note, my books, also, by the grace of God, I have hit the best seller status, you know, including the number one rank on Amazon, including my main book, Unveil Your Purpose, which you know, like broke a lot of records in terms of the way it did, and I really didn't expect it to do it the way it did. But yes, the thing I ordered to understand, many people wrote, but it's a different ballgame to write in such a way that you actually win.

5:03 Speaker 2: You do it in such a way that you hit the number one best sell attack, you know, even on the podcast for that matter. You know, when I started off the podcast, I started with just recording on my phone. Then I migrated to using a good microphone, and then I migrated to a higher quality microphone, and eventually right now I'm using this microphone, which is like among the top microphones that a lot of podcasters, YouTubers and radio hosts, hosts, you know, they all use this SM seven B. Like, eventually I started upgrading to such a way that when I say that a podcast to stop ranking, you know, the content should be top ranking, the quality should be the best.

5:44 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm doing it as a human, an individual who is doing this by myself. I'm not a production unit or something. I don't have a protection unit or something that stuff now, so I'm not in a position to do it to that quality. But the best of my ability. I know that I'm doing the best that I can with what God has given me. See, that's what I wanted to understand. If you really want to see, you know, progress, if you want to see a growth, you want to see that the Lord is taking you to that winning or to that selection, or to step into the calling that you've been praying and hoping for.

6:17 Speaker 2: I challenged it you check yourself in introspect. Are you writing in such a way that you'll be selected? Are you winning or are you running in such a way that you win? Are you doing whatever you're calling your call to do in such a way that you will be able to stand out, You will be able to win, you will be able to be victorious. And that is my challenge to each one of you, And that is one of my voice. It's wanting to pray for a miracle, pray for a breakthrough, and all of those things. There's a place for all of that, but it's another thing to make sure that you are actually doing the best you can, running the race in such a way that you can win.

6:54 Speaker 2: That you're writing in such a way that you can be selected and be victorious in Jesus name.
