0:44 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. When lease start off on a new venture, when you are studying a new ministry, a business, or a training program, whatever you're doing. Maybe you just brought out a new book and a new initiative, what do you do. You immediately rush to people in your contacts, You rush to people on your forward, rush to people on your Facebook list, and see, oh, somebody can support me. And you have this idea like, wow, I have two thousand friends on Facebook, which means they're going to support me like me.

1:29 And after you start your venture, that's when you realize, oh my goodness, I can have two thousand friends on Facebook, and it may be hard to find even two people who would actually stand by you and be supportive to you. Right. I wanted to understand something very important here. This is an important word, because a lot of people are so disappointed. They come out starting with that full fire and that passion and expecting that these people will support them, family members will stand by them. They expected those people in their contacts to be the ones who will unlock new doors and of opportunity for them.

2:09 That they thought that, Wow, I'm part of this community. I think that community might help me. I am part of this influential group, which means I may have some influence coming along by side. I know this renowned person. I think they're going to speak up for me. We start off with that expectation on people, and then very quickly everything goes down the drain because we realize none of them are actually helping. Are you in a place like that? Are you in a place you're saying, John, I invested in these people, John.

2:41 I supported these people. John. I was always there for them. I was always supporting and cheering them on. But today, when I'm standing on my own venture, when I'm starting my own ministry. When I am doing this initiative on my own, I don't have people, so I don't have help coming to me on my end. Are you in a place like that? Now? Listen to this, Cathleen. You may be in a place in your life today. You're saying, John, all the people I supported and stood by their growing, they're gone to new levels.

3:17 But your I am nobody to support me, nobody to stand by me, nobody to help me. What will I do? Well? I've helped to tell you something? What important you? When you look at Joseph in the Bible, ever since he was young, he was always a person who went the extra mile. He was faithful in the little. He was committed to every assignment given to him. Even when he was in Potifoss house. That was not just when he wanted to be, That was not where he was liking or enjoying being. But he was a slave in Potifirs house.

3:51 It just happened. But even in Partifos house, he went the extra mile. He had the spirit of excellence. Potifus could see the hand of God upon Joseph's life and could see the blessing that was coming because of Joseph that he made Joseph in charge of the entire house.

4:09 Partifer has seen all of that, but Potifer did not stand by Joseph. Tifer eventually stopped supporting Joseph. When Joseph was in the prison. You have to remember that he ended up helping the cobra and he thought, wow, I'm helping the camera, and he says, you know, when you get back to the palace, tell the Pharaoh that I'm wrongly accused and I'm here so that i can be set free by that cabra. Forgot about him. You may be in a place people you invested in forgot about you. People you stood by, and you who have seen the power of God and the hand of God upon your life just stopped supporting you.

4:52 And you're saying people in my contacts, the people in Joseph's contacts at that moment where Potifer and the cup bearer and the two people in Joseph's contacts had stopped supporting Joseph, there are two people in Joseph's contacts no longer stood by him. The two people in Joseph's contacts were not helping him in any way. The two people in Joseph's contacts were just there in his contacts, but he could not see any help coming from them. You may be in a place where you are saying, John, I'm supporting people.

5:28 I stood by them. These are the people in my contacts, but there's none to help. Are you feeling like that? But here's the amazing, beautiful thing that happens that Joseph in the prison, he thought the people in his contacts would help him. He thought, okay, fine, Potiphar is an old story. He's not going to help me. But at least the cup bearer here, God has brought a new contact. He's going to help me. He speaks to the cup barton and says, remember me when you get out, and that caparo also forgets him.

6:01 And you may say, John, I don't know why people are forgetting me. People in my contacts are not standing by me, they're not supporting me. But here's the beautiful thing that eventually, the key to the next level that God had for Joseph did not come from somebody in his contacts, not from somebody within his reach. But the Pharaoh himself called Joseph and gave him the opportunity to be the prime minister equivalent of the most powerful nation in the world of the time, Egypt. Now think about this important thing.

6:41 The Pharaoh, somebody outside his leeed, somebody outside is contacts, somebody way out of his reach, reached out and pulled him out of the prison and gave him the key to the next level of his destiny. What I want you to understand is your health is coming from outside your contact lists. You're looking from within your contact lists and saying nobody's helping me. You're saying people within your reach are not standing by you. Listen carefully. When you are faithful, when you stand and be the kind of person that God wants you to be, when you are committed to do what God has called you to do, when you are going the extra mile, having the spirit of excellence.

7:22 Your help is coming from outside your contact list. People you never thought who would stand by you, people who you never thought would help you, are going to come helping you. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. Now. I want to disclose with this example from my life to share this as a testimony. I'm so grateful to God to see what the Lord has been doing. Some of you would have just noticed that we had some people I really looked up to coming on my podcast, like we had Gabriella Grey's active from Disney and Hollywood's been on many run out shows like Coop and Cammy that I watched.

8:03 I was amazed and I'm still amazed and grateful to God for that wow moment or based in of marketing comedy. I've been watching markets of comedy for many years, to host them and to be connected with them. I was wow with both of them. I would consider as people outside my contact list that God brought into my life, Like they were like the Pharaohs who were outside my contact list that God brought into my life. Because you know, people I looked up to, people within my reach, many people within this country.

8:35 They looked down on me. They despised me. They said all sorts of negative things about me. They you could see from their tone, their behavior, their action. They were looked down on me and ridiculed and walked me, took advantage of me, and just wanted to get some personal benefit through me, but never really cared about me as an individual. And when I noticed what was happening, I just realized, you know, I was looking up to people I invested in them so much I supported them, But I was feeling like, oh my gosh, why can't they support me?

9:06 Why can't they stand by me? And I was in the touch a scenario when God beautifully orchestrated these connections. You see, that's when God was showing me this beautiful illustration, like people within Joseph's reach did not support him or stand by him. Like the people who I thought would stand by and support the people I had invested in, whom I thought, would you know, maybe come back and help me out. I thought they would stand by. That didn't happen. But the same way help came to Joseph from outside is contactless, when he got connections from outside his leege or reach, the same way, God brought connections beyond what I could imagine.

9:49 People I never even dreamt that I would be connected to God brought. That's what God can do in your life. If he did it for me, if he did it for Joseph, He's going to do it you. Big connections are coming, Divine connections are coming. Connections you never taught possibly are coming. Those connections will make the difference in it. Through your life.
