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

0:46 Speaker 2: Hell Everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta podcast. All through this week, we are looking at various lessons we can take away from Luke chapter one, where we're talking about the lives of Zacharai and Elizabeth, in line with what I shared yesterday where I spoke about how God can and God will show up in your life. He is a faithful God. Even though it feels like nothing is working out, even though it feels like nothing is turning around, He is a God who is faithful.

1:14 Speaker 2: Today, I want to just talk on a very similar line, but I want to talk about something very important. Where he talks about the moment when the Angel encounters is Zachariah, and the Angel tells him God has heard your prayer. God has heard your prayer, and you're going to have a child. And his name is going to be John, not John gifted, but John. Okay, you will have great joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth. Okay. So I want you to understand something very important here. Right The Angel says God has heard your prayers, which means that Zakaraina is But we're not people who never prayed about having a kid.

2:00 Speaker 2: Maybe they had that desire, but maybe they just thought it's never going to happen, or maybe they thought, man, maybe it's not my lot in life. But I'm here to announce to you. Even if you feel like John, I've been praying about this. I have prayed about this, but I'm not seen anything turning around in my life in certain areas. I want you to understand something more important to you. Even though you feel like your praise has hit the ceiling and you know there was no response from heaven. But I want you to know that God has heard your prayers, even if you don't feel like it.

2:34 Speaker 2: God has heard your prayers. It's a matter of time when you will realize that God was preparing the miracle, and God was going to give you a miracle that you could not even comprehend. And long story made short. When the Angel is having this conversation with Zachariah, Zacharia says this, especially when you look at verse eighteen. He says, how can I be sure this is going to happen? For I'm an old man and my life is also well along in yours. Now I wanted to understand he's talking about the practicality of the situation.

3:07 Speaker 2: He's saying, in the natural, there is no way out. This is not going to happen. There is no way I'm going to get this. See today, you may be looking at your life and saying, John, if this was supposed to happen, it should have happened by now. Now it's a mission impossible. It's too late. In the natural, there is no possible way for it to happen. But that's when I wanted to understand. We serve a God who can go beyond the natural. We serve a God who can go beyond because he is a God of the supernatural.

3:41 Speaker 2: He is not confined by the laws of natural sciences. He's not confined by the natural element of life that we are contained in. I wanted to understand we serve a God who can do things beyond the natural. Looking at it one way, but God has a hundred different ways of getting the miracle to you. You can't even imagine. God is smarty than you. God is more powerful than you. He's not run out of ideas. He knows what he's doing with your life. It may feel like nothing is working, it may feel like God has forgotten you.

4:20 Speaker 2: It may feel like there's no way out in the natural. But I wanted to still hold down. I want you to still believe and trust that God is in the works. And when God is in the works, He's going to do a miracle that cannot be explained in the natural today. I want you to understand, as long as you have a heart to fulfill the purposes of God, if you have a heart to work in the will of God, if you have a heart to just seek the Lord's plans and to go in accordance to it, so that by doing that, you are building the kingdom by being the light in the darkness.

4:57 Speaker 2: You are expanding the kingdom by winning souls for the Kingdom through your life, through your ministry, through you working, and your God given calling and purpose. I'm here to announce to you today that God is still able. God will still have that one organization. God will still have that one person. God will still have that one divine moment or a divine opportunity just for you, so that by that one means you will get that supernatural miracle you need to fulfill the purpose God has for you. I wanted to believe even when you don't feel like it, just trust him.

5:37 Speaker 2: Say God, you are a God of miracles. You are a God of breakthroughs. I'm asking you to do the unthinkable. God. I'm asking you to do the unimaginable. God, because you have no limits, and I want you to do that. Because if you can bring John the Baptists through two old people where there was medically no pause will wait for them to have a kid. I'm here to tell you God is able to do such miracles in your life. Even if you feel like medically this is impossible. God can still do it. Society expectation point of view, it's impossible.

6:15 Speaker 2: God can still do it. It's too late, it's not going to be possible. God can still do it. So I want you to believe God will still do it. And when he does it, you will say, look what the Lord has done. You will say look. Not only you will praise the Lord, but other people will praise him because of what God wants to do over your life.
