0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I'm gonna

0:55 ask you this question today. What does your fate prompt you to do?

1:00 I want to start off by sharing a scripture with you one verse but the

1:03 I'm going to talk to you from two different translations, and I want to

1:06 take it to the message that I have with you guys. First, I

1:10 want to share from the Nalty version. Second the Salonians one verse eleven,

1:15 which says something that really caught my attention, where the apostle policying. So

1:19 we keep on praying for you, asking a God to enable you to live

1:23 a life worthy of his call, and then this is so important. May

1:30 He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you

1:37 to do. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things

1:41 which your faith prompts you to do. The next translation I want to read

1:46 the same scripture from is the Message version, which says this that we pray

1:51 that our God will make you fit for what He's called you to be.

1:57 Pray that he will fill your good idea and acts of faith with his own

2:01 energy so that it mounts to something Lord. I pray that this word will

2:08 bless somebody listening from across the globe. Let him be encouraged by your word,

2:14 knowing that their acts of faith will be accomplished for the glory of God

2:22 to finish something great. Now, I want to tell you something. If

2:27 what really caught my attention is it said that may He give you the power

2:30 to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. See,

2:37 many of us are in a place where we are saying, John, I

2:40 have the faith. I can do this, I can try this. I

2:43 have the faith. I don't know how I have it, but I have

2:45 the faith For something, But I don't know if I should really go ahead

2:47 and do it. I don't know if it will really mount to anything.

2:52 I don't know if it's really going to bring me success in any area of

2:54 my life. I don't know. John is faith it just enough for me

3:00 to just go after something. See, there is a place for wisdom,

3:04 There is a place to be led by the Holy Spirit, the timing of

3:07 God in your life, and all these different things of that sort. There

3:09 is a place for it. But also you have to remember that God honors

3:14 those to take a step of faith, trusting him his leading. So there

3:19 is a place you come to where you are prompted to do something. Your

3:23 faith prompts you to do something that is something you shan't take it lightly.

3:29 There sometimes you just have the leading, you have the faith to do something.

3:31 You're prompted to do something Like the moment when I'm supposed to buy spectacles

3:37 many years ago, I just led by the spirit of God. I placed

3:39 my hand over my eyes and I said, in Jesus' name, let my

3:44 eyes be yielded. They of God just touched my eyes. By faith,

3:47 I was prompted to put off my spectacles and law and behold. When I

3:53 went and checked with the doctor later, my eyes were normal. I was

3:57 completely healed. And it's been like what almost eleven years since that incident happened.

4:04 So what I'm saying is there are moments you're prompted to do something.

4:09 When I started the ministry, I was prompted to start international ministry. I

4:14 call it John Gift International Ministries. Right on day one, I had the

4:17 leading for it. I had the direction from the Lord, the faith that

4:21 prompts you to do something. When you have that, it may not make

4:25 sense in the natural. It may seem stupid. In the natural. It

4:28 may seem like you don't have what it takes, you don't have the power.

4:30 But years supply a wonderful scripture to remind you that when you take a

4:36 step of faith based on how the faith is prompting you to do, God

4:41 is going to honor you for that. God is to fill his power upon

4:46 your life to accomplish all the good things, not some things, not a

4:53 few things, not the chosen things, but all the good things. When

4:57 you take a step of faith based on how the faith is prompting you,

5:01 don't hide the prompting of the spirit of your faith. Don't hide it or

5:08 don't bury it, don't ignore it. Get to a place. Okay,

5:12 I'm prompting. I have this prompting in my spirit. I need to take

5:15 this ship of it. I need to do this. Go ahead and do

5:18 it. God's power will be upon you to accomplish that, to come out

5:25 successful, to see victory in that. You will see it. See it

5:29 now. For example, when the ministry started, of course, it's not

5:31 the way I envision. I know that greater things are in the ministry,

5:35 but it's, without a doubt, in international ministry right now. It may

5:40 not be the way people consider international yet. Right we don't have international services

5:47 or anything like that sort. But we have people listening from so many countries

5:53 around the world, viewers from all so many countries around the world. The

5:56 radio program in itself is around the world. It's from another nation reaching out

6:02 to the veterans all around the world. So it is international, and it's

6:10 compared to where it was, it's come a long way. So when I

6:15 started it, it seemed stupid to call it international. But see the power

6:19 of God caused it to accomplish the things, the good things that my faith

6:27 prompted me to do so. Then the reason I shed the message version of

6:35 this verse as well is because I want to remind you guys of this.

6:40 It says that God will make you fit for what He's called you to be,

6:45 and he will fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own

6:47 energy so that it mounts to something. God knows how to use that whatever

6:53 you have, your ideas, that the Lord is placed in your spirit the

6:59 way the the you know you're you're prompted to take a step of faith,

7:02 all those good ideas and those acts which you take in faith, He's going

7:09 to fill it with his power, with his energy, with his strength,

7:13 with his favor upon your life, and he will make you fit to be

7:17 who you are supposed to be, and so that what steps you take will

7:25 mount to something. I want you to understand that steps you take by faith

7:30 are never going to go in vain. God is going to ensure that they're

7:34 gonna mount to something. God is going to ensure that he's gonna honor your

7:38 faith. The Bible says it's impossible to please God without faith, which means

7:42 also that when you have faith, it is impossible to not please God.

7:46 And when your when God is pleased with you. You can imagine what other

7:50 things he's about to do. He loves the person of faith. He loves

7:56 somebody who puts themselves on the line. He loves somebody. I mean when

8:00 I look back over the shoulders right, the way people ridiculed me, and

8:03 sometimes people still do that, The way people look down on me. People

8:07 thought I was crazy, They thought I lost my mind. People said I'm

8:09 useless, I don't have what it takes. People mocked me, abused me.

8:16 I'm not just talking about random people. I'm even talking about people who

8:18 are Christians. You know church leaders, and you know pastors and family members

8:24 who said all sorts of things to put me down because of my faith and

8:28 because of the acts I did, because of the faith that I was prompted

8:33 to take. People laughed. But God honors that. And I'm telling you

8:41 guys, it's okay. You don't have to start something big. Start with

8:46 those simple acts that you're prompted to do, and just see how God's going

8:52 to honor everything. It may be simple start. It may not be insignificant.

8:56 It may not be that great or significant. It may seem insignificant,

9:03 but you don't know where God will take that small step, because it's going

9:07 to lead you to a great place. Amen, Lord, I pray for

9:15 those who are listening that you will give them the grace to have the courage

9:20 to be led by the promptings of faith. However their faith prompts them to

9:28 take give them the courage, and we believe that your power will manifest that

9:33 your energy will be filled upon their good ideas, upon their acts of faith,

9:41 so that whatever they do will mount to something for the extension of your

9:46 kingdom. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifda, we

10:50 God bless you. If your heart stops beating, now, do you know

10:56 where you're going? If you came face to face with that, now,

11:00 do you know where you're going? And this is not a message of condemnation.

11:03 This is a message of hope. There is a God who loves you

11:09 so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to come down and pay

11:16 a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on the cross. Thank

11:20 you for dying for my sins. When you believe in him, you have

11:26 free gift of salvation for you that assures us that we will go to heaven

11:31 when we die instead of suffering in hell forever. I just encourage you today

11:37 to make the simple step of it and say, Jesus, I thank you

11:39 for what you did on the cross. Thank you for giving me this gift

11:43 of eternal life.
