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

0:49 Speaker 2: Hey, are you in a place in your life you're

0:51 Speaker 2: crying about what is happening or what has happened, and

0:54 Speaker 2: you're just in so much of pain. You're crying about

0:57 Speaker 2: the situation. You're saying, I wish God would have answered

0:59 Speaker 2: my I wish God would have turned things around. I

1:02 Speaker 2: wish I would see a miracle soon. And you've been

1:05 Speaker 2: waiting on the Lord for a long period of time

1:07 Speaker 2: and you're really really disappointed by how things are. You know,

1:10 Speaker 2: at a time when other people are saying, you know what,

1:12 Speaker 2: I have this thing to be grateful for and really

1:15 Speaker 2: believe that, yes, there will be something that you and

1:18 Speaker 2: I can be grateful for, but there will always be

1:21 Speaker 2: moments where maybe you are going through a moment where

1:24 Speaker 2: you're not really able to be grateful, you know what

1:26 Speaker 2: I mean. Like you you're saying, yes, I understand I

1:29 Speaker 2: need to be grateful. I have life to breathe, but

1:33 Speaker 2: I really don't have anything else, you know, Like I'm

1:36 Speaker 2: in a situation where things are so bad, where the

1:40 Speaker 2: negatives are outweighing the positives. You're feeling like, you know,

1:44 Speaker 2: I really wish God would answer me. You know, there's

1:48 Speaker 2: thing of pain, there's that moment when you're having so much.

1:51 Speaker 2: You know, I'm just trying to put words into that emotion,

1:54 Speaker 2: the words into the pain, you know, because I've been

1:57 Speaker 2: in there and so many times I wish God would

2:00 Speaker 2: just answer or show up. And you know, you may

2:03 Speaker 2: be in a place crying like that, like I wish

2:06 Speaker 2: there could be something that God would turn around in

2:09 Speaker 2: my life, you know. But if you're in a position

2:11 Speaker 2: like that, I want you to hear me out. Just

2:14 Speaker 2: because you don't see God more, just because you're not

2:17 Speaker 2: able to feel his presence lead you're just because you're

2:20 Speaker 2: not able to experience the promises of God becoming a reality,

2:24 Speaker 2: just because you're not able to see the manifestation of

2:27 Speaker 2: His favor upon your life. I want you to understand

2:29 Speaker 2: that does not mean that God is not working in

2:32 Speaker 2: your life. That does not mean that God has forgotten you.

2:35 Speaker 2: That does not mean that God has you. Know I

2:38 Speaker 2: rejected you. God still has a good plan for your life.

2:42 Speaker 2: It may not make sense in the natural, it may

2:44 Speaker 2: look like there's no way out for you. I want

2:47 Speaker 2: you to hold your horses today. God understands the pain

2:51 Speaker 2: you've been through going through and I want to really

2:55 Speaker 2: stand with you in this moment to encourage you to

2:58 Speaker 2: say that you know what. God's still has a good

3:00 Speaker 2: plan for your life. Whether it makes sense or not.

3:03 Speaker 2: God still has a way out for your life. You know,

3:06 Speaker 2: when we think about in the scripture, Ruth went through

3:09 Speaker 2: so much, Naomi went through so much. Ruth and Naomi,

3:15 Speaker 2: when you think about this story, it's it's really devastating

3:18 Speaker 2: to see, especially when you look at Naomi. They moved

3:21 Speaker 2: to a foreign land where she loses her husband and

3:24 Speaker 2: two sons. When you think about Ruth, she also what

3:28 Speaker 2: happens she she lost her father in law, She lost

3:31 Speaker 2: her brother in law, and she lost her husband. Right,

3:35 Speaker 2: everything just gone, like why did this happen? You may

3:39 Speaker 2: be in a season where you're questioning God, Why? God? Why?

3:43 Speaker 2: Why couldn't I see this miracle? I prayed so much?

3:46 Speaker 2: Why didn't this person get saved? I prove I fasted

3:50 Speaker 2: and prayed, But why didn't this person get healed? I've

3:53 Speaker 2: been looking up to you, and I've been really looking

3:56 Speaker 2: depending on you. But why am I not seeing the

3:58 Speaker 2: ministry take of Why am I seeing the breakthrough in

4:01 Speaker 2: my finance? Why am I not seeing this answer in

4:03 Speaker 2: my life? Why? God? Why? Why is this person still

4:08 Speaker 2: not understanding? Why is this person still of course? Why

4:11 Speaker 2: isn't this door not opening for me? Why am I

4:14 Speaker 2: always getting rejected? Why is the area of my relationships

4:18 Speaker 2: so barren? Why is the fact that you know what,

4:20 Speaker 2: I'm not able to see my career, you know, progress?

4:24 Speaker 2: Why am I not able to see the business, you know,

4:27 Speaker 2: get new grounds? You know? You may be in a

4:29 Speaker 2: position like that, But I want you to understand, don't

4:33 Speaker 2: give up. God still has a plan for you. God

4:37 Speaker 2: still has a way out for you. God still has

4:39 Speaker 2: a purpose for you. Even if it doesn't look like it.

4:42 Speaker 2: God still has a beautiful plan for your life. So

4:47 Speaker 2: when we think about Ruth, eventually she gets up back

4:50 Speaker 2: with Naomi to Bethlehem and gets connected with Boas and

4:56 Speaker 2: eventually they give birth to a child and she ends

5:00 Speaker 2: up being in the generational line of Jesus Christ. You see, guys,

5:05 Speaker 2: sometimes your life may not make sense, It may not

5:09 Speaker 2: make any sense in the natural, but sometimes you have

5:13 Speaker 2: to understand what God is doing in your life is

5:15 Speaker 2: going to have an effect generationally. That's why I want

5:19 Speaker 2: you to have a faith where you say, God, you

5:21 Speaker 2: know what I even when I don't understand, maybe generations

5:25 Speaker 2: down something is going to happen. Generations down the line,

5:29 Speaker 2: something is going to be in an unexpected way. God

5:34 Speaker 2: is going to show up even the mistakes you make.

5:37 Speaker 2: If you were just committed to God, generations later you

5:41 Speaker 2: will actually see the hand of God in that. One

5:45 Speaker 2: of the best examples I can think of in regard

5:47 Speaker 2: to this is we think about Abraham. You know, he

5:51 Speaker 2: made the mistake and ended up with Ishmael, and which

5:53 Speaker 2: led to a lot of pain and regret in his life,

5:57 Speaker 2: and he was going through so much. But later, if

5:59 Speaker 2: you actually see Joseph going to Egypt was through the

6:06 Speaker 2: Ishmaelite traders. Right, God used a mistake in Abraham's life

6:13 Speaker 2: to actually transport Joseph to his place of destiny, from

6:18 Speaker 2: being in this place with his parents and his brothers

6:24 Speaker 2: to a place where his brothers actually planned to just

6:27 Speaker 2: you know, put him in the pit and you know,

6:29 Speaker 2: eventually kill him. But here's the thing, right, like when

6:32 Speaker 2: we think about the moment when they actually planned to

6:37 Speaker 2: put him in the pit, but that's when the Ishmaelite

6:40 Speaker 2: traders came in that way, and what did they do.

6:42 Speaker 2: They ended up selling him to them, and he ends

6:47 Speaker 2: up going to Egypt because God took him to Egypt.

6:50 Speaker 2: He says it later, amazingly, you know, God took me

6:52 Speaker 2: here so that you know, through me, nations will be

6:56 Speaker 2: saved when the famine came. You see, he had that

6:59 Speaker 2: kingdom perspective. Sometimes you may not understand why God allowed

7:02 Speaker 2: certain things. You may not understand why all the trouble,

7:06 Speaker 2: but you know what, sometimes you will see the reason

7:12 Speaker 2: much later. You'll understand why in a later season or

7:17 Speaker 2: phase of your life. Today, I pray that if you're crying,

7:21 Speaker 2: I pray that this world will comfort you and strengthen

7:24 Speaker 2: you to know that God did not make a mistake

7:27 Speaker 2: in your life, that God still has a plan for you.

7:30 Speaker 2: He still has a purpose for you. And at the

7:32 Speaker 2: right time, you will understand why you had to go

7:35 Speaker 2: through with what you went through and God will definitely

7:39 Speaker 2: show up and show out in your life. And at

7:41 Speaker 2: the same time, certain things in your life. You know,

7:45 Speaker 2: God doesn't work just based on your life your current situation.

7:49 Speaker 2: God works keeping generations in mind. When you do that,

7:53 Speaker 2: when you think that way and have that perspective, you

7:56 Speaker 2: will realize that you know what God, even when I

7:58 Speaker 2: don't understand, you're doing something someway. In Jesus name, I

8:03 Speaker 2: pray Amen, God bless you.
