0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I'm going

0:52 to talk to you about the reason why they're attacking you. I want to

0:57 start off by shotting a scripture with you. This forward and it is found

1:00 in the Book of Mark, chapter eleven. And now I want to talk

1:04 to you about a moment when all of these Pharisees and the religious leaders were

1:11 pretty mad at Jesus. Okay, they're in a place where they want to

1:17 kill Jesus. If you look at verse eighteen, and I'm reading to you

1:19 from the NIV version, says the chief priests and the teachers of the law

1:25 heard this, which means they heard what Jesus was teaching, what he was

1:30 just speaking, and began looking for a way to kill him, for they

1:36 feared him. Because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. They began

1:42 to look for a way to kill him, for they feared him. What

1:46 I want you guys to understand is the reason they wanted to kill him wasn't

1:52 because they feared him. What I want you guys to understand is sometimes in

1:56 your life, you may be in a place where you're saying, I don't

1:59 know why I'm being attacked. I don't know why I'm always getting these opposition,

2:05 these challenges, these these these things thrown at me. I don't know

2:07 why these people don't like me. I don't know why these people are always

2:12 attacking and making sure that I'm in a bad shape. I don't know why

2:15 my life is at staying. I don't know why things are not working out.

2:19 I don't know why the enemy is constantly targeting me, and why am

2:23 I always being a point of target at all given points of time? Well

2:28 years a moment, you see the reason why Jesus was being targeted, why

2:34 they were planning to kill Jesus was not because Jesus was doing something wrong.

2:38 It was not because they found some fault with Jesus. They could not find

2:42 any fault with Jesus. The reason they wanted to kill him, there were

2:45 reason why they didn't like him. The reason why they couldn't accept him was

2:49 because they feared him. I wanted to have this new perspective. The reason

2:54 why you're being attacked, it's not because you did something wrong. It's not

2:58 because you're a bad person. And it's not because you're a mistake. It's

3:01 not because you're in the wrong place. It's because you are being feared because

3:09 of what you carry. You know, I loved what I heard the other

3:15 day by a minister. And this minister was sharing and said, an enemy

3:22 comes to kill steel and destroy the Bible, says Jesus said it in John

3:24 ten ten and he said that a thief will never go to an empty house.

3:31 You know, he'll always attack an house that is loaded. He was

3:36 looked for an house that is loaded. If you see, I'm reminded of

3:38 Home Alone movie where in the first movie where the burglars want to rob the

3:44 house, the statement that he makes is this house is loaded. You know,

3:49 there's so much in it and we need to go there. So what

3:52 I want you to understand this. And enemy will attack a loaded house.

3:55 A robber will attack a load loaded house because that's where there is something for

4:00 him to take. The reason you're being attacked it is not because you're stupid

4:03 or dumb. Is not because there's nothing for you to offer to this world.

4:06 The reason you're being attacked is because the enemy knows what you carry.

4:10 The enemy knows what you have. The enemy knows sometimes you know, the

4:14 enemy knows more about what you have and the the anointing upon your life,

4:19 the gift in you and and the potential that you have and what you can

4:26 do to transform this world, more than you know about yourself. And yere's

4:30 the key. By seeing how the enemy is scared of you and targeting you,

4:33 you can know what you carry. You can know the level or the

4:38 degree and the magnitude of what you carry. And I want you to have

4:46 that perspective. You know, I'm also reminded and I want to share this,

4:50 like when you look at many of the animals now, the reason they

4:55 attack you is not because they actually want to attack you. Sometimes you know,

5:00 for the most part, they're not. If you're just calm, they're

5:02 colme, you're fine, they're fine. But sometimes the reason they attack you

5:06 is because they're scared of you. You know, And today I want you

5:11 to have this perspective. Today, the reason why you're being attacked is because

5:15 they're scared of you. They're scared of what you might do. The enemy

5:18 is attacking you because he's scared. When you walk in your purpose, the

5:23 enemy is going to be crushed. When you fulfill your purpose, lives are

5:27 going to be transformed. You're going to shine your light for Jesus, and

5:30 so many souls are coming to the Kingdom of God through your life. And

5:32 that's why the enemy is after your life. And today I want you to

5:38 have this perspective. No matter how your life is looking like right now,

5:43 just know the real reason why they're attacking you or are after you is because

5:48 they're afraid of you. Is because they see what you carry, because they

5:56 know what you have. And today I pray that you will not let touch

6:00 tolp you, that you will push through all the odds and step into the

6:03 fullness of what God has for you. In Jesus name, I pray Amen
