0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. A lot

0:53 of times I've seen people constantly what are you about things? What are you

0:57 about the future? What are you about the problem? What are you about

0:59 an unresolved area of their life? They're constantly in panic, They're constantly in

1:06 anxiety, then having sleepless nights. They sometimes, you know, I've seen

1:10 people tell me, you know what, John, you know what, this

1:12 issue is the reason I'm I'm I'm having sleeplessness, and you know what,

1:17 I'm not going to stop worrying till this issue is resolved. You know,

1:23 They're constantly on that mode. Of you know, brooding over the situation.

1:27 Uh, and and and and you know, wasting their moment, wasting their

1:33 present, wasting their time, their energy, worrying. And I always tell

1:38 people this. You know, listen, guys, understand that you cannot change

1:42 anything by worrying. One of the saddest truths you need to understand is that,

1:48 you know, uh, somebody put it. They put it this way.

1:51 You know what is like a swing or a rocking chair. It keeps

1:55 you busy, It keeps you going here and there, hither tida, But

1:57 by the end of the day you're in the same place. It doesn't take

2:01 you anywhere. You know, worry is it like that? You keep worrying.

2:05 You're you're constantly brooding over it, but it doesn't change anything. Worry

2:10 does not change things. Worry does not fix your problems. Only God fixes

2:16 your problems. Worry will not change your output. Only God will change your

2:22 output. Worry will not let things fall in place in your life. Only

2:28 God can let things fall in place in your life. I want you to

2:31 understand this. I want to share a scripture with you, and I want

2:35 to take this forward. When Jesus said in Matthew chapter six, verse twenty

2:38 five, and I'm reading from the NIV version, and he says, therefore,

2:40 I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will

2:45 eat or drink, or about your body or what you will wear. You

2:47 know what Jesus is saying, do not worry about your life. And he

2:51 goes on to say, you know, isn't life more than just food or

2:55 clothes? And you know, look at the birds of the air. They

2:58 do not so a reap or throw away in pants, Yet your heavenly Father

3:01 feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? God is saying

3:06 this to you and reminding you of this. You know. You may say,

3:07 John, I've heard so many messages on worry, but maybe sometimes you

3:10 need that reminder to let you know. Let you know what. You don't

3:14 have to worry because you have to understand that worrying is not going to solve

3:17 your problem. Jesus did not say, you know, keep worrying because you

3:21 know your body will solve your problems. Your body will fix your issues.

3:25 Your body will help you deal with your You know the things that you need,

3:29 your body will provide for you. Your body will not provide for you.

3:31 Your body will not change your output. Only God will. And that's

3:36 exactly why you need to understand it, says, can any of you by

3:40 worrying at a single art your life or in a simple way, God is

3:44 saying, you know, can you change the output in your life by worrying?

3:49 You can't. You're only wasting your time. Worrying is not going to

3:53 solve the problem. You know, sometimes people tell me this, you know,

3:55 Oh you're not worrying. That means you're not concerned. Oh you're not

3:59 anxious. That means you don't know the seriousness of the problem. No,

4:01 it's not like that. I take the word at its word. I know

4:04 the reality of God's word, and I know this without a shadow of a

4:08 doubt, that my worry will not change the situation. My worry will not

4:12 change anything. And if I'm only worrying, I'm only wasting my time.

4:16 And a lot of people today, a lot of Christians today, are simply

4:20 wasting their time. Worrying will not change anything. I don't know who needs

4:25 to hear this again and again and again and again and again and again and

4:29 again and again that God wants to tell you that your worry will not change

4:32 anything. It's only going to waste your time. Worry will not change your

4:38 output. That's why if you read in Philippines Sceptter four, it says,

4:41 you know, do not worry about anything, do not be anxious about anything,

4:45 but in everything, pray about everything. Pray about everything. You know,

4:51 that's exactly what I do. The reason I'm not worried is not because

4:56 I don't have concern or I don't care about this situation, or I don't

5:00 know the seriousness of the situation or the problems that I face. The reason

5:02 I don't worry is because every time what He comes, every time worry comes.

5:06 You know. I know this that you know. If I'm sitting and

5:10 worrying, I'm only wasting my time. But if I just convert at time

5:13 of worry into a time of prayer, I know that my God is going

5:15 to work. My God is going to look at my faith and say,

5:17 oh my gosh, look at that. I'm mahvel at this way, Oh

5:20 my gosh. This guy is not wasting his time. He's redeeming his time.

5:25 He's making the most of his time. Instead of spending the time in

5:27 worry, he's staying in time, trusting me, spending the time in my

5:30 word, spending the time in my promises, spending the time in prayer.

5:35 And I know that, you know what, when you honor God with your

5:39 faith, God is not going to just sit back. He's going to be

5:42 pleased and he's going to show up because he said, according to your faith,

5:45 it shall be done unto you. And when you stop worrying and pray,

5:48 when you stop worrying and trust God, that's a sign that you show

5:51 God that you are having that faith. And when God sees that faith is

5:55 saying, you know what, according to that faith, I'm going to show

5:58 up in your life. I'm going to do a miracle in your life.

6:00 So when you attempted to body today, I pray that this world will go

6:03 forward and remind you of this important too, that your body will not change

6:08 anything. And it's time for you to convert your body into prayer and look

6:13 up to the Lord and you will see God do things that you never even

6:17 imagined. Amen. God bless you. You've been listening to Fuel for the
