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 the Soul with John Gifta podcast, and all through this week we're doing various lessons that we can take away from tewod King chapter twenty, revolving around the story of King Hezekiah. Challenge you to go back and listen because there were very powerful segments in the last couple of days, and I believe that there will be something that the Lord can minister and even you might encounter the miracle 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 is there's a moment when King Hezekiah is in a very deadly situation. He is about to die, and then Prophet Isaiah comes to him and says that he's going to die, confirming saying there's no way out. But in that moment when he's going to die, King Hezekiah cries to the Lord and says, God, please remember all that I've done. And then Prophet Isaiah goes back to him saying, listen, your prayers have been hurt. You're going to live for fifteen more years. Now.

1:40 Speaker 2: A lot of times we stop with that, and we also focus on one more aspect, which I'm going to talk about in the next episode. But this one aspect that many people forget. Right while he said this in verse seven, Isaiah said, make an ointment from figs. So the servants of King Isakiah spread the ointment over the boil and Isakiah recovered. Okay, now I want you to understand something here. We're not just focusing on the aspect of the medicinal value of this ointment from wigs. But there is a principle I want to talk about because I know some of you watch or listen maybe from a physical sickness that you're struggling with, or maybe something else emotionally, financially, with your relationships or anything for that matter.

2:29 Speaker 2: So it's a generic principle I want to talk about. Right. See, we understand that our ultimate healer is God because the Bible says I am the God who heals you Extradus fifteen, verse twenty six. God is a healer, right, he is Jehovajairah. But I want you to understand how God wants to heal is up to him. The process he wants to take is up to him. The methodology, the strategy is entirely up to him. Even when you see when Jesus walked on earth, 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 was healed. Another case, he spit on the ground, put the mud on the person's eyes, and the person was able to see. So Jesus, even with regard to similar cases, he did a different methodology of miracles. You get what I'm saying. I want you to understand this right. Why I'm saying is because sometimes we say this is the way this person received the miracle. This is the way this person received their breakthrough. This is the way this person received their answer or healing or a restoration or whatever area they're looking for a touch from the Lord, 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 are different, God's plan is different. So they know that ultimately this God who heals right, Ultimately, even if you're sick, Yes, ultimately God is your healer. Sometimes God can heal without a surgery. I've seen cases like that deaf years open. In one of the recent episodes, I was sharing with you how I was ministering in northeastern part of India just last week and there were people who got healed immediately. One person who was paralyzed could not even lift his hand above this.

4:24 Speaker 2: Immediately he was able to lift He was able to walk without help. How's that? Miracles? God still heals without any medical assistant. But sometimes God also uses medical assistance. Like here, you see I saw you didn't just say God will heal you? Now? Leave? What did he say? Take this ointment from the figs and place apply it on the boil and then three days It's not an instant healing in three days, they got the miracle. See sometimes I've seen places where I'm coin minister and they don't get them immediately, but after a while, Like even recently, this is what happened.

5:04 Speaker 2: I prayed for someone and the person did not feel any change. But after a while, the person came back and said, you know what, After that, I suddenly felt like I was healed. I mean, the painters disappeared. I'm completely fine now. See that. Sometimes, like Azekayah, sometimes the miracle happens over time. Sometimes it happens instantly. But how God wants to do is up to him. Sometimes we think God should only do the miracle this way. God should heal without surgery. God should restore without a therapy.

5:38 Speaker 2: Or you know, recently you might have checked out, or I encourage you to check out. I did a special episode with Really Jacob, a Christian faith based therapist. I really challenged you to check it out because he spoke about the aspects of revolving around mental health, counseling and therapy, and I want you to understand. See, God wants to use therapy. God can use it. God wants to us counseling to help you in the process. He can use it. So don't close yourself saying I should get a miracle without a surgery, without terrabory, without counseling, without any help, I need a miracle.

6:11 Speaker 2: No, don't force God that way. This is a word for some of you saying, you know what, let me be opened. If God wants me to do it in a certain way, I'm opened for it. When Prophet Isaiah's told King Hezekiah and the people around saying, you know, make this ointment with the figs and apply it, it was an obedience that was involved. There was an obedience involved. See some of the miracles in your life have a connection to an obedience. Maybe, like you think about naming right what he had to do. He had to dip himself in the Jordan river, and then he saw the miracle.

6:53 Speaker 2: If they had nothing to do with like the river having any power, it had everything to do with obedience to the world. Today, this is a word for some of you. Maybe you're praying for a miracle and a breakthrough, and you're saying, John, I'm praying for so long. I'm not seeing a result. I'm trying so much, I'm not seeing a result. I'm reading the word. I'm not seeing a result. I am doing the best I can. I'm asking this renowned minister to pray for me. I asked to this 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, emotionally or mentally. But I challenge you check. Maybe there is a word from the Lord for you. Maybe the Lord is saying try this. Maybe the Lord is saying try therapy. Maybe the Lord is saying try this particular course. Maybe the Lord is saying try this particular try type of medicines. Or because God can use anything to bring that healing and wholeness he wants to bring all your life. See, there was one particular thing that I was dealing with for the past eight years.

7:57 Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, this is affecting me. It led to many sleepless nights. It was affecting me so many times, even in the midst of like deep despair, and I'm like, God, I've been praying against this. I've been fasting. I've been saying God, I want delevance in this area. I don't want this to trouble me. All throughout for the last eight years, I kept praying, you know, fighting against it. I spoke in tongues, I was fasting, I did everything, and nothing worked. Is it saying that there's no power in prayer?

8:33 Speaker 2: Of course there's part in the Bible says the prayers of a righteous man availeth much. There is power in prayer. There is power because I'm not just doing the act of prayer, but I'm involving God. I'm moving in the annoying. I'm seeing God move in my life in other areas, but in this area it was like, no matter what I did, I was not seeing an edge. I was not able to see the miracle and breakthrough. And then while I was speaking in tongues one day and praying, the Lord gave me this idea, why didn't you convert all of these things that are troubling you in your mind, like these viral thoughts, why don't you put them out and express them through a story.

9:16 Speaker 2: So what I did was I just took maybe a day or two from my schedule and I was like, you know what, I'm going to just dive into this, and I started working on it. It was very messy putting all those thoughts that were troubling me in the form of a story. It was messy, but can I tell you something. The minute I was able to release all the junk out in the form of the story, suddenly I felt completely free. Suddenly I felt like, oh my gosh, I've been trying to run from these thoughts, and now once I was able to release them in the form of the story, I'm suddenly set free.

9:53 Speaker 2: I'm suddenly in a better place. Suddenly I'm emotionally more free, and mentally also in a such a better place, brighter place. And then that's when I realized, See, it's not that God doesn't have power. God has the ultimate power. God is the ultimate healer, the ultimate deliverer. But sometimes that deliverance that you want to experience comes at the process of your obedience, because when you obey the word that God gives you the strategy that he gives you because God not only heals directly, he also heals through means.

10:34 Speaker 2: So that is exactly what happened. I was able to experience the deliverance that I was praying for for the past eight years in just two days by doing what God wanted me to do. See, this is the word for some of you. Maybe the reason why for so many days, weeks, months, or even years you've struggled in some area and you're saying, I prayed about it, I've taken these steps, I'm doing this, doing that, and nothing is working. This is a wake up call. Maybe, like with King Zakiah, have you actually tried obeying the word of the Lord.

11:09 Speaker 2: Have you tried the strategy that the spirit is dropping into your spirit? Are you actually doing what the Lord is leading you to do? It could seem like, oh, this is not making sense because this idea did not make sense in the natural. Why would I try to write a story out of all the pain that I was in. But in that process of writing that I was able to release all the pain out of me. The pain that was like a huge mountain of pressure completely left me because of following this strategy. So this is a word for some of you in your life.

11:47 Speaker 2: If you're feeling like John, I tried this right that nothing worked. Maybe today's a wake up call to say, maybe like this word was given by a prophet Isaiah saying put this ointment. Maybe this is a word like the way the Holy Spirit gave me this idea, write that story. Maybe God is saying some of the things to you. Take that step, try this new medication, try this therapy, try that particular effective course, so that you will see the deliference that you've been praying for. And if you're praying, I pray in Jesus Name that you will experience that breakthrough, that God will speak into your spirit right now and tell you which ideas to take, which is from the Lord, what step to take, what move to make, so that through that process you will get the breakthrough in the miracle that you're hoping for.

12:39 Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, I challenge you to leave a comment and share this with someone. I will see you back very soon. God bless you.
