Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.
Speaker 2: But I want to quickly start by sharing a verse
Speaker 2: with you, and I want to take this forward because
Speaker 2: I believe that this is something that really spoke to me,
Speaker 2: stood out to me when I was going through the
Speaker 2: scriptures this morning, and it is found in Galatians chapter four.
Speaker 2: If you just go down this passage, there's a moment
Speaker 2: when the apostle Paul says this as he addresses them.
Speaker 2: He says this in verse thirteen. Surely you remember that
Speaker 2: I was sick when I first brought you the good news.
Speaker 2: But even though my condition tempted you to reject me.
Speaker 2: You did not despise me or turn me away. No,
Speaker 2: you took me in and cared for me. As so
Speaker 2: I'm an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself.
Speaker 2: I know this seems like an arbitrary passage that I
Speaker 2: just took you through a very random place, but it
Speaker 2: really caught up and spoke to me, because you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes we look at the condition that we're in, We
Speaker 2: look at the struggles we are in the season that
Speaker 2: you were in, We look at all the limitations. Maybe
Speaker 2: you're in chains, Maybe there are addictions that are secret
Speaker 2: since you're dealing with, or maybe you have a health condition.
Speaker 2: Maybe you are d with some area where you know
Speaker 2: that it's not the best. You want got to show
Speaker 2: up and show out. You want God to heal you,
Speaker 2: deliver you, set you free. You want God to help
Speaker 2: you walk in the wholeness and the and and the
Speaker 2: fullness of what He has in store for you. But
Speaker 2: but you're still having this struggle. You're still having this
Speaker 2: this pain, You're going through this turmoil. You're going through
Speaker 2: this chain that is limiting you, chaining you and and
Speaker 2: and and causing you to you know, and not experience
Speaker 2: the fullness of the freedom that you are preaching to
Speaker 2: others about. You may be in a position like that.
Speaker 2: You're saying, maybe I'm not fit to preach, I'm not
Speaker 2: fit to minister. Maybe God cannot use me because I
Speaker 2: have all these issues that I'm dealing with myself. The
Speaker 2: apostle pole is saying, I was sick when I preached
Speaker 2: to you, but still you accepted me, and you accepted
Speaker 2: me as so I was an angel or you know
Speaker 2: that the Lord himself sent me, or Jesus send me.
Speaker 2: You know you are so kind, and you know that
Speaker 2: really caught my attention because you know, even Yester, I
Speaker 2: felt like I was so unworthy to be a minister.
Speaker 2: I felt like, oh my gosh, I have all these
Speaker 2: areas where I'm not perfect. I have all these areas
Speaker 2: that I'm still dealing with. I felt like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: you know I'm not perfect. As much as I want
Speaker 2: to be, I want to acknowledge God in all my ways.
Speaker 2: This is something I was preaching to you about just
Speaker 2: last week. But there are areas I'm still struggling where
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm not able to literally,
Speaker 2: you know, experience the fullness of it in my own life.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just being authentic. I'm just being myself
Speaker 2: and sharing this with you. And at that point of time,
Speaker 2: the Lord was giving me this word to say, yes,
Speaker 2: you may be having areas that you are not still
Speaker 2: seeing the fullness of what God has for you. Maybe
Speaker 2: the fullness of the freedom, the fullness of the wholeness,
Speaker 2: the fullness of the kind of life, the abundant life,
Speaker 2: the fullness of life that God came to give you.
Speaker 2: And Jesus said in John ten ten, you know, in
Speaker 2: spite of that, I can still use you. In spite
Speaker 2: of that, I'm still using you. You know, yesterday while
Speaker 2: I was feeling low, you know, the Lord led me
Speaker 2: and I happened to minister to somebody and it was
Speaker 2: so astonishing because as I preached and I gave a word,
Speaker 2: you know that you know that the person is experience.
Speaker 2: I was just praying over the telephone and I said,
Speaker 2: you know what, I see a vision of the you
Speaker 2: knowing of God coming on you like electricity. And this
Speaker 2: other person said that while I was sharing that, she
Speaker 2: was experiencing like electricity coming through her through the telephone.
Speaker 2: You're like all over our body at that moment, I
Speaker 2: realized that, yes I may not be perfect. Yes I
Speaker 2: may have areas that I'm still praying and asking God
Speaker 2: to change. I'm asking God to intervene. I'm asking God
Speaker 2: to perfect in some areas of my life. But in
Speaker 2: spite of my imperfections, in spite of my struggles, in
Speaker 2: spite of my weaknesses, in spite of you know, the
Speaker 2: challenges that I'm facing, the limitations and the change that
Speaker 2: I'm holding on that I'm trying to break out of.
Speaker 2: I want you to understand it was It was like
Speaker 2: God was saying, you know what. The apostle Paul had
Speaker 2: his own chain at that moment. He had his own
Speaker 2: sickness at that moment, but God did not allow that
Speaker 2: to stop him from being a blessing to those people.
Speaker 2: And that same thing happened to me. God did not
Speaker 2: allow my limitations or the change to limit me from
Speaker 2: being a blessing to somebody else. I want you to
Speaker 2: understand that, you know, God can use you in spite
Speaker 2: of your change. God can use you to be a
Speaker 2: light in the darkness. God can use you in your workplace.
Speaker 2: God can use you in your schools and colleges. God
Speaker 2: can use you whenever He has placed you, in your neighborhood,
Speaker 2: in your community, wherever God has placed you. Stop looking
Speaker 2: at your limitations, stop looking at your change, Stop looking
Speaker 2: and focusing on the on the sickness or the health condition,
Speaker 2: or the mental health condition, or whatever you're dealing with today,
Speaker 2: even emotionally. I want you to understand, if you committed
Speaker 2: to God, God can still use you. In the name
Speaker 2: of Jesus, I pray God is going to use you.
Speaker 2: Receive it in the name of Jesus. God, bless you.
