Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I'm going to talk to today about stop getting the Lord. A lot of people today are cattying this Lord of their life. They're just saying, you know what, I need to succeed. I need to make it through life. I need to do this. I need to get this done. I need to find a job, I need to find the right person, I need to settle down. And they can't even load of oh, I need to pay the bills. I need to do this. I need to do that as if they are the ones or running the life.

Now. I've shared this so many times, but I wanted to re entreat and remind you guys that you're not the one running your life. You're not the one keeping a life. In part, it is the Lord. It is the Lord. I want to share a few scriptures and I want to take this forward. And first of all, I want you to understand what the Bible says Galatians three, verse twenty nine, and it says, if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. Okay, if you belong to Christ, now you're the true child of Abraham.

Another translation, Enalty says you are a true child of Abraham. You are his hairs, and God's promise to Abraham belongs to you. So because of what Jesus did on the cross of Calvary, because of the fact that we belong to Christ. And today, if you don't belong to Christ, I pray that this world will bless you and make you get to the place where you say, yes, I want to belong to Christ. I want Jesus and I accept him as my Lord and savior. But here's the thing. If when you say that you belong to Christ, here's a promise.

Allow how the Enalty is saying. It says you are the true children of Abraham. I don't care what the people say. I don't care what other people say. I don't care what your circumstances say. I don't care what your bank account says. You are a true child of Abraham. And you know what, the Bible is saying, you are his heirs and God's promise to Abraham belongs to you. Okay. I want to establish that before going to Abraham, because a lot of people the minute you quote scriptures from the promises God gave to Abraham, the covenant God gave to Abraham, people say, oh, you know what that is Old Testament, That is Abraham.

That is not for me. Nor Bible is saying this. The Word of God is saying. The New Testament is saying. Elations is in the New Testament for your kind of information. And the New Testament is telling you that because of what Jesus did on the cross of Calvary, the promises of Abraham belonged to you. Amen. So in that context, I want to share something with you guys. And it's so powerful when you look at Genesis chap Twelve, where the Lord is speaking to Abraham. And the Lord said to Abraham, it's not just he's sending a messenger.

It's not God, you know, giving a vision, not a dream. This was the Lord himself. And I want you to understand. This is the Lord himself. And you know that you can count on the word of God. You know that you can count on the promises of God. You know that heaven and that it will fade away, but God's word will remain forever. And here is the word that you can stand on and bank on. Where the Lord himself said to Abraham, and he's giving this promise from words too. He says, I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you.

I will make him name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless you, bless those bless you, and curse those who curse you, and all the people on earth will be blessed through you. I want you to get this into your spirit. Yes, there are so many promises you've been meaning on. Maybe for promises in terms of your prosperity, maybe in terms of your financial status. Maybe promises with regard to your personal life, maybe a goal your ministry or carrier. Maybe promises from God with regard to a turnaround in your life, a family member who needs to get changed or transformed or come to the knowledge of salvation.

Or maybe you're praying for an addiction to be broken. Maybe you're praying for allowed one to come back on track, maybe you're praying for her. Maybe a sickness that you are dealing with, a mountain in front of you, or a promise that you've been meaning on the law to unleash all your life. And here's the thing I want you to understand. The Bible is saying I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make your name great. If you look at some other translations, it says I will make a name famous.

So if you've been praying the God will bring you fame, you know, I personally believe that there's nothing wrong with fame. That people have this wrong reconception that you know, if you are asking for fame that means it's wrong. No, that's not wrong. That's a blessing that God gives and and you can use that fame. You can use that influence to be a greater impact for the glory of God. So you know, whatever the Lord has been putting in your heart maybe um, you know, to be a blessing to other people, to be uh, you know, multiply and you know, flourish for the glory of God.

And God is saying you will be a blessing and I will bless you. Know what I want you, guys to focus on is God is not saying, you know, I'll be with you, but you go and start a great nation. You will go and make yourself famous. You know, if you're going after fame, if you're going after riches, if you're going after possessions and going after your dreams, then it's a problem. But if if you look at the Bible, what is the Bible saying. Bible is very clear and saying to you. But God is saying, I will do this for you.

I will do this. You're not doing it, guys. God is promising that he wants to do this over you. God is doing this. Is as, I will make you a great nation. I will bless you, I will make your name famous. I will make sure that you're a blessing. I will bless you those who bless you. God. Does that tell you it's not your running your life. God is going to run your life. God's promises will come to pass in your life when God makes it happen, not you trying to make it happen. Now, I'm all inform messages.

You guys know I always look for balance, right, I all share this so many times. But I say, you know you need to do your part. You need to walk in accordance to what God has called you to do. You can't go in the opposite direction of what God has called you and expect to see a miracle. Even here, you see God give the words. If you look at worst one, God is saying, go from your country, your people. And so there was a role that God specifically gave to Abraham, saying I'm only to leave this place.

So you know that there is a place you need to understand. When God gives you a specific instruction go from this place, do this or do that. You know you need to do that. There's a role for you to play in accordance to the faith that you have in God. But God is saying, it's not up to you to make those promises come to pass. It's in my hands. You can't make yourself get a job. God is the one who's getting your job. He's the one who will keep you. You can try hard and get something, but it's not going to be the best.

When you wait on the Lord, it's going to be the best. When you wait for God's promises, it's going to exceed your expectations. It's going to be so awesome that you're going to say, wow, I never saw this coming. I want you to believe today. Today, I want to pray that every Lord of in you that you're carrying the Lord of Oh, you know, I need to settle down. I need to do this. I need to get this done. I need to succeed. I need to fulfill this. I pray that the Lord will be taken off in the name of Jesus, Every Lord be removed.

I release this word over those who are listening. Every Lord be removed. And I pray that you will experience that touched from the Lord to come to the place of you know, knowing that you're not the one running your life. Goddess, and he knows what is best for you. He knows what you need when you need it, and he knows what time to show up and give you what you need. He knows when to give you the job, he knows when to bring the right person in. He knows when to do what, He knows when to give you the fame.

He knows when to give you the riches. He knows when to give you what you need. Learn to trust him, and I pray that your life will never be the same for the better A man, God bless you.
