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

0:46 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:48 Speaker 2: the Soul with John Gifta podcast, and all through this

0:52 Speaker 2: week we're doing various lessons that we can take away

0:54 Speaker 2: from tewod King chapter twenty, revolving around the story of

0:58 Speaker 2: King Hezekiah. Challenge you to go back and listen because

1:01 Speaker 2: there were very powerful segments in the last couple of days,

1:04 Speaker 2: and I believe that there will be something that the

1:06 Speaker 2: Lord can minister and even you might encounter the miracle

1:10 Speaker 2: that God wants to give you in your life as well.

1:13 Speaker 2: So one of the things I want to talk about

1:15 Speaker 2: is there's a moment when King Hezekiah is in a

1:17 Speaker 2: very deadly situation. He is about to die, and then

1:20 Speaker 2: Prophet Isaiah comes to him and says that he's going

1:22 Speaker 2: to die, confirming saying there's no way out. But in

1:25 Speaker 2: that moment when he's going to die, King Hezekiah cries

1:30 Speaker 2: to the Lord and says, God, please remember all that

1:33 Speaker 2: I've done. And then Prophet Isaiah goes back to him saying, listen,

1:37 Speaker 2: your prayers have been hurt. You're going to live for

1:39 Speaker 2: fifteen more years. Now. A lot of times we stop

1:42 Speaker 2: with that, and we also focus on one more aspect,

1:45 Speaker 2: which I'm going to talk about in the next episode.

1:48 Speaker 2: But this one aspect that many people forget. Right while

1:52 Speaker 2: he said this in verse seven, Isaiah said, make an

1:56 Speaker 2: ointment from figs. So the servants of King Isakiah spread

2:02 Speaker 2: the ointment over the boil and Isakiah recovered. Okay, now

2:08 Speaker 2: I want you to understand something here. We're not just

2:10 Speaker 2: focusing on the aspect of the medicinal value of this

2:14 Speaker 2: ointment from wigs. But there is a principle I want

2:18 Speaker 2: to talk about because I know some of you watch

2:20 Speaker 2: or listen maybe from a physical sickness that you're struggling with,

2:24 Speaker 2: or maybe something else emotionally, financially, with your relationships or

2:28 Speaker 2: anything for that matter. So it's a generic principle I

2:31 Speaker 2: want to talk about. Right. See, we understand that our

2:34 Speaker 2: ultimate healer is God because the Bible says I am

2:38 Speaker 2: the God who heals you Extradus fifteen, verse twenty six.

2:40 Speaker 2: God is a healer, right, he is Jehovajairah. But I

2:44 Speaker 2: want you to understand how God wants to heal is

2:48 Speaker 2: up to him. The process he wants to take is

2:51 Speaker 2: up to him. The methodology, the strategy is entirely up

2:55 Speaker 2: to him. Even when you see when Jesus walked on earth,

2:58 Speaker 2: he didn't follow a single one forms strategy for any miracle.

3:03 Speaker 2: In some cases he touched a blind man and he

3:07 Speaker 2: was healed. Another case, he spit on the ground, put

3:11 Speaker 2: the mud on the person's eyes, and the person was

3:15 Speaker 2: able to see. So Jesus, even with regard to similar cases,

3:21 Speaker 2: he did a different methodology of miracles. You get what

3:24 Speaker 2: I'm saying. I want you to understand this right. Why

3:27 Speaker 2: I'm saying is because sometimes we say this is the

3:29 Speaker 2: way this person received the miracle. This is the way

3:32 Speaker 2: this person received their breakthrough. This is the way this

3:34 Speaker 2: person received their answer or healing or a restoration or

3:40 Speaker 2: whatever area they're looking for a touch from the Lord,

3:43 Speaker 2: and we say this is how it happen for them.

3:46 Speaker 2: That is the strategy for me. No, because God's ways

3:50 Speaker 2: are different, God's plan is different. So they know that

3:57 Speaker 2: ultimately this God who heals right, Ultimately, even if you're sick, Yes,

4:03 Speaker 2: ultimately God is your healer. Sometimes God can heal without

4:06 Speaker 2: a surgery. I've seen cases like that deaf years open.

4:10 Speaker 2: In one of the recent episodes, I was sharing with

4:12 Speaker 2: you how I was ministering in northeastern part of India

4:16 Speaker 2: just last week and there were people who got healed immediately.

4:21 Speaker 2: One person who was paralyzed could not even lift his

4:23 Speaker 2: hand above this. Immediately he was able to lift He

4:27 Speaker 2: was able to walk without help. How's that? Miracles? God

4:30 Speaker 2: still heals without any medical assistant. But sometimes God also

4:36 Speaker 2: uses medical assistance. Like here, you see I saw you

4:39 Speaker 2: didn't just say God will heal you? Now? Leave? What

4:42 Speaker 2: did he say? Take this ointment from the figs and

4:47 Speaker 2: place apply it on the boil and then three days

4:51 Speaker 2: It's not an instant healing in three days, they got

4:54 Speaker 2: the miracle. See sometimes I've seen places where I'm coin

4:58 Speaker 2: minister and they don't get them immediately, but after a while,

5:02 Speaker 2: Like even recently, this is what happened. I prayed for

5:04 Speaker 2: someone and the person did not feel any change. But

5:08 Speaker 2: after a while, the person came back and said, you

5:11 Speaker 2: know what, After that, I suddenly felt like I was healed.

5:15 Speaker 2: I mean, the painters disappeared. I'm completely fine now. See that. Sometimes,

5:21 Speaker 2: like Azekayah, sometimes the miracle happens over time. Sometimes it

5:25 Speaker 2: happens instantly. But how God wants to do is up

5:28 Speaker 2: to him. Sometimes we think God should only do the

5:32 Speaker 2: miracle this way. God should heal without surgery. God should

5:36 Speaker 2: restore without a therapy. Or you know, recently you might

5:41 Speaker 2: have checked out, or I encourage you to check out.

5:43 Speaker 2: I did a special episode with Really Jacob, a Christian

5:47 Speaker 2: faith based therapist. I really challenged you to check it

5:50 Speaker 2: out because he spoke about the aspects of revolving around

5:53 Speaker 2: mental health, counseling and therapy, and I want you to understand. See,

5:57 Speaker 2: God wants to use therapy. God can use it. God

5:59 Speaker 2: wants to us counseling to help you in the process.

6:02 Speaker 2: He can use it. So don't close yourself saying I

6:06 Speaker 2: should get a miracle without a surgery, without terrabory, without counseling,

6:09 Speaker 2: without any help, I need a miracle. No, don't force

6:12 Speaker 2: God that way. This is a word for some of

6:14 Speaker 2: you saying, you know what, let me be opened. If

6:18 Speaker 2: God wants me to do it in a certain way,

6:20 Speaker 2: I'm opened for it. When Prophet Isaiah's told King Hezekiah

6:25 Speaker 2: and the people around saying, you know, make this ointment

6:30 Speaker 2: with the figs and apply it, it was an obedience

6:35 Speaker 2: that was involved. There was an obedience involved. See some

6:39 Speaker 2: of the miracles in your life have a connection to

6:42 Speaker 2: an obedience. Maybe, like you think about naming right what

6:46 Speaker 2: he had to do. He had to dip himself in

6:50 Speaker 2: the Jordan river, and then he saw the miracle. If

6:53 Speaker 2: they had nothing to do with like the river having

6:56 Speaker 2: any power, it had everything to do with obedience to

7:00 Speaker 2: the world. Today, this is a word for some of you.

7:03 Speaker 2: Maybe you're praying for a miracle and a breakthrough, and

7:05 Speaker 2: you're saying, John, I'm praying for so long. I'm not

7:08 Speaker 2: seeing a result. I'm trying so much, I'm not seeing

7:10 Speaker 2: a result. I'm reading the word. I'm not seeing a result.

7:13 Speaker 2: I am doing the best I can. I'm asking this

7:17 Speaker 2: renowned minister to pray for me. I asked to this

7:19 Speaker 2: person who's in the healing space to pray for me.

7:22 Speaker 2: But still I do not receive the healing, maybe physically,

7:25 Speaker 2: emotionally or mentally. But I challenge you check. Maybe there

7:30 Speaker 2: is a word from the Lord for you. Maybe the

7:33 Speaker 2: Lord is saying try this. Maybe the Lord is saying

7:35 Speaker 2: try therapy. Maybe the Lord is saying try this particular course.

7:40 Speaker 2: Maybe the Lord is saying try this particular try type

7:44 Speaker 2: of medicines. Or because God can use anything to bring

7:49 Speaker 2: that healing and wholeness he wants to bring all your life. See,

7:52 Speaker 2: there was one particular thing that I was dealing with

7:55 Speaker 2: for the past eight years. I was like, oh my gosh,

7:58 Speaker 2: this is affecting me. It led to many sleepless nights.

8:03 Speaker 2: It was affecting me so many times, even in the

8:06 Speaker 2: midst of like deep despair, and I'm like, God, I've

8:10 Speaker 2: been praying against this. I've been fasting. I've been saying God,

8:13 Speaker 2: I want delevance in this area. I don't want this

8:16 Speaker 2: to trouble me. All throughout for the last eight years,

8:20 Speaker 2: I kept praying, you know, fighting against it. I spoke

8:24 Speaker 2: in tongues, I was fasting, I did everything, and nothing worked.

8:30 Speaker 2: Is it saying that there's no power in prayer? Of

8:33 Speaker 2: course there's part in the Bible says the prayers of

8:36 Speaker 2: a righteous man availeth much. There is power in prayer.

8:40 Speaker 2: There is power because I'm not just doing the act

8:44 Speaker 2: of prayer, but I'm involving God. I'm moving in the annoying.

8:48 Speaker 2: I'm seeing God move in my life in other areas,

8:52 Speaker 2: but in this area it was like, no matter what

8:55 Speaker 2: I did, I was not seeing an edge. I was

8:57 Speaker 2: not able to see the miracle and breakthrough. And then

9:00 Speaker 2: while I was speaking in tongues one day and praying,

9:03 Speaker 2: the Lord gave me this idea, why didn't you convert

9:07 Speaker 2: all of these things that are troubling you in your mind,

9:10 Speaker 2: like these viral thoughts, why don't you put them out

9:14 Speaker 2: and express them through a story. So what I did

9:18 Speaker 2: was I just took maybe a day or two from

9:21 Speaker 2: my schedule and I was like, you know what, I'm

9:23 Speaker 2: going to just dive into this, and I started working

9:25 Speaker 2: on it. It was very messy putting all those thoughts

9:28 Speaker 2: that were troubling me in the form of a story.

9:31 Speaker 2: It was messy, but can I tell you something. The

9:34 Speaker 2: minute I was able to release all the junk out

9:37 Speaker 2: in the form of the story, suddenly I felt completely free.

9:42 Speaker 2: Suddenly I felt like, oh my gosh, I've been trying

9:44 Speaker 2: to run from these thoughts, and now once I was

9:48 Speaker 2: able to release them in the form of the story,

9:51 Speaker 2: I'm suddenly set free. I'm suddenly in a better place.

9:55 Speaker 2: Suddenly I'm emotionally more free, and mentally also in a

10:01 Speaker 2: such a better place, brighter place. And then that's when

10:06 Speaker 2: I realized, See, it's not that God doesn't have power.

10:10 Speaker 2: God has the ultimate power. God is the ultimate healer,

10:12 Speaker 2: the ultimate deliverer. But sometimes that deliverance that you want

10:17 Speaker 2: to experience comes at the process of your obedience, because

10:23 Speaker 2: when you obey the word that God gives you the

10:27 Speaker 2: strategy that he gives you because God not only heals directly,

10:31 Speaker 2: he also heals through means. So that is exactly what happened.

10:37 Speaker 2: I was able to experience the deliverance that I was

10:40 Speaker 2: praying for for the past eight years in just two

10:43 Speaker 2: days by doing what God wanted me to do. See,

10:46 Speaker 2: this is the word for some of you. Maybe the

10:49 Speaker 2: reason why for so many days, weeks, months, or even

10:53 Speaker 2: years you've struggled in some area and you're saying, I

10:57 Speaker 2: prayed about it, I've taken these steps, I'm doing this,

11:00 Speaker 2: doing that, and nothing is working. This is a wake

11:02 Speaker 2: up call. Maybe, like with King Zakiah, have you actually

11:06 Speaker 2: tried obeying the word of the Lord. Have you tried

11:11 Speaker 2: the strategy that the spirit is dropping into your spirit?

11:15 Speaker 2: Are you actually doing what the Lord is leading you

11:17 Speaker 2: to do? It could seem like, oh, this is not

11:20 Speaker 2: making sense because this idea did not make sense in

11:23 Speaker 2: the natural. Why would I try to write a story

11:27 Speaker 2: out of all the pain that I was in. But

11:30 Speaker 2: in that process of writing that I was able to

11:33 Speaker 2: release all the pain out of me. The pain that

11:36 Speaker 2: was like a huge mountain of pressure completely left me

11:42 Speaker 2: because of following this strategy. So this is a word

11:45 Speaker 2: for some of you in your life. If you're feeling

11:48 Speaker 2: like John, I tried this right that nothing worked. Maybe

11:51 Speaker 2: today's a wake up call to say, maybe like this

11:55 Speaker 2: word was given by a prophet Isaiah saying put this ointment.

12:00 Speaker 2: Maybe this is a word like the way the Holy

12:02 Speaker 2: Spirit gave me this idea, write that story. Maybe God

12:06 Speaker 2: is saying some of the things to you. Take that step,

12:09 Speaker 2: try this new medication, try this therapy, try that particular

12:14 Speaker 2: effective course, so that you will see the deliference that

12:18 Speaker 2: you've been praying for. And if you're praying, I pray

12:20 Speaker 2: in Jesus Name that you will experience that breakthrough, that

12:23 Speaker 2: God will speak into your spirit right now and tell

12:27 Speaker 2: you which ideas to take, which is from the Lord,

12:31 Speaker 2: what step to take, what move to make, so that

12:34 Speaker 2: through that process you will get the breakthrough in the

12:37 Speaker 2: miracle that you're hoping for. In Jesus name, I pray,

12:41 Speaker 2: I challenge you to leave a comment and share this

12:43 Speaker 2: with someone. I will see you back very soon. God

12:45 Speaker 2: bless you.
