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

0:46 Speaker 2: Hell everyone, Welcome to the session of the Fuel for

0:49 Speaker 2: the Soul with On gift of Podcast Luke Chapter. What

0:51 Speaker 2: was for this is I've written all of this to

0:54 Speaker 2: you so that you can be certain of the truth

0:57 Speaker 2: of everything you were thought.

0:58 Speaker 1: See.

0:59 Speaker 2: I want you to understand and that you need to

1:02 Speaker 2: be in that place where you are certain of the truth.

1:05 Speaker 2: It's not something like you just think, oh, I think

1:08 Speaker 2: this is the truth, like nobody says I think the

1:11 Speaker 2: sun will rise in the east, or I think the

1:13 Speaker 2: sun will set in the west tomorrow, like nobody says

1:17 Speaker 2: that right because you know for a fact that yes,

1:20 Speaker 2: it's the truth. The sun will rise in the east

1:23 Speaker 2: or the sun will set in the west. You know

1:25 Speaker 2: for a fact it's not something you imagine. It's not

1:29 Speaker 2: something you just hope or you just think. No, it's

1:32 Speaker 2: something you are certain about. Today. I want you to

1:35 Speaker 2: understand if there are areas in your life where the

1:37 Speaker 2: Word of God is no longer certain about, in your life,

1:40 Speaker 2: where you are no longer in that place of certainty

1:43 Speaker 2: saying yes, I know my God will show up in

1:46 Speaker 2: my life. I know my God is faithful. I know

1:50 Speaker 2: that God is a God who's a good God, a

1:53 Speaker 2: faithful God, a promise keeper, a miracle worker, and I

1:57 Speaker 2: know that God has good plans will prevail over my life. Today.

2:02 Speaker 2: I want to share this world to encourage and get

2:04 Speaker 2: you to that place where you are certain on the

2:08 Speaker 2: word of God. There can be any number of things

2:11 Speaker 2: that go against you. There can be so many things

2:13 Speaker 2: that are shaking you. But I want to pray that

2:16 Speaker 2: you will come to that place of certainty saying yes,

2:19 Speaker 2: my God he is faithful today. I want you to

2:23 Speaker 2: get to that place where you have the certainty that

2:27 Speaker 2: you can have in God and his Word. See, now

2:31 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. If you're saying, John, that

2:33 Speaker 2: sounds nice, that sounds great. You're saying that, yes, God's

2:37 Speaker 2: promises are all yes and amen. You're saying that God

2:41 Speaker 2: is faithful to his word. But look at my life.

2:43 Speaker 2: Things are just not going fine. Things are just not

2:47 Speaker 2: going fine. Because I want you to understand. When you

2:50 Speaker 2: look at verse six he talks about Zachariah and Elizabeth.

2:54 Speaker 2: The Word says that they were righteous in God's says,

2:58 Speaker 2: careful to obey all the law, commandments and regulations. And

3:02 Speaker 2: look at verse seven and says they had no children

3:05 Speaker 2: because Elizabeth was unable to conceive and they were very old.

3:11 Speaker 2: See think about this. The Bible says that they were righteous,

3:17 Speaker 2: not just in the side of people, but in the

3:19 Speaker 2: sight of God, because you can act wholly inside of people,

3:23 Speaker 2: but you could be a different person behind the scenes.

3:27 Speaker 2: But God is saying that even in the sight of God,

3:31 Speaker 2: they were righteous. They were careful to obey all of

3:36 Speaker 2: the law's commandments, and yet they had a big problem.

3:39 Speaker 2: They didn't get any children. See, sometimes what happens is

3:44 Speaker 2: you can say that John, I don't understand this. I'm

3:48 Speaker 2: doing the right thing. I'm going the extra man. I'm

3:52 Speaker 2: having the spirit of excellence, I'm praying, I'm meditating on

3:56 Speaker 2: the word, I'm looking up to the Lord. But still

4:02 Speaker 2: I'm having this big problem. I'm having this big area

4:07 Speaker 2: where I don't have a miracle, I don't have a solution,

4:11 Speaker 2: I don't have an answer. Are you feeling like that? See,

4:17 Speaker 2: I want you to understand sometimes, you know, even in

4:20 Speaker 2: my life, I've seen this where even if there are

4:22 Speaker 2: things going fine, like for example, you have seen like

4:26 Speaker 2: i work in a full time corporate job and I'm

4:29 Speaker 2: running the ministry, the daily podcast, YouTube, social media, and

4:33 Speaker 2: i travel a minister in different places. All of these

4:37 Speaker 2: things are happening. But can I threll is something in

4:39 Speaker 2: the midst of all of that, there are areas that

4:41 Speaker 2: I'm still praying that the Lord will show up in

4:43 Speaker 2: my life. You know, as a typical Christian single for example,

4:48 Speaker 2: I've been praying that the Lord will bring the right

4:49 Speaker 2: person into my life. It's been a long time to you, praying,

4:54 Speaker 2: waiting on the lot, but it feels like it's not happening.

4:57 Speaker 2: But can I tell you something, Just because it has

5:00 Speaker 2: not happened yet, it does not mean it's not going

5:03 Speaker 2: to happen. See today you can say, oh, John, this

5:06 Speaker 2: particular problem is there. See. Sometimes even if there are

5:09 Speaker 2: ninety nine things working out fine, we can be focused

5:12 Speaker 2: on that one thing that's not working out and feel like,

5:14 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, am I missing the mark? Am I

5:17 Speaker 2: going wrong somewhere? Am I missing out on something? Can

5:20 Speaker 2: I think you something? These two were righteous, they honored

5:24 Speaker 2: the lot, they were careful to obey the commandments of

5:29 Speaker 2: the lot, and yet they had a problem. See I

5:32 Speaker 2: wanted and I said, you having a problem does not

5:35 Speaker 2: mean you are making a mistake. It does not mean

5:39 Speaker 2: that you have messed up. It does not mean that

5:41 Speaker 2: you've gone off track. Sometimes you can do the right

5:46 Speaker 2: thing and still have an area where you're not seeing

5:50 Speaker 2: God show up. You may face people telling you, oh,

5:55 Speaker 2: if this is not working out, maybe you're missing out

5:57 Speaker 2: on something. If this answer is not coming, that means

6:00 Speaker 2: you have not surrendered to God. You know, these are

6:03 Speaker 2: statements I've heard a lot of Christians say, Oh, you know,

6:06 Speaker 2: if this particular area is it's still bland in your life,

6:09 Speaker 2: that means you are not trusting God, You are not

6:12 Speaker 2: surrendered to God. Maybe you have made some mistake you

6:15 Speaker 2: maybe you are not doing what God wants you to do.

6:18 Speaker 2: Maybe you are not settling for things, you're not listening

6:21 Speaker 2: to so and so's advice. You need to be in

6:24 Speaker 2: that place where you are allowing God to lead you.

6:26 Speaker 2: But can I tell you something When you know without

6:29 Speaker 2: a shadow of a dad that you are righteous in

6:32 Speaker 2: the sight of God, You're doing what God wants you

6:34 Speaker 2: to do. You're standing firm on the convintionions God has

6:36 Speaker 2: placed to you, and you are making sure that you

6:39 Speaker 2: are fulfilling every commandment in accordance to His plan will.

6:43 Speaker 2: His purpose is what He is shared in his world

6:45 Speaker 2: and the principles that He has given through his word.

6:48 Speaker 2: I want to tell you something, even if you feel

6:51 Speaker 2: like in some area you're not seeing an answer, I'm

6:54 Speaker 2: here to announce to you the same way God showed

6:57 Speaker 2: up for Elizabeth and Zsachariah, God will show up in

7:01 Speaker 2: your life. So I want you to hold on. I

7:06 Speaker 2: want you to believe because you need to be certain

7:09 Speaker 2: of the truth that God is faithful. It may not

7:12 Speaker 2: have happened yet, it does not mean it's not going

7:14 Speaker 2: to happen. It just means that at the right time,

7:17 Speaker 2: God will show up at the right time, God will

7:19 Speaker 2: make a way where there seems to be no way.

7:21 Speaker 2: At the right time, God will turn things around in

7:23 Speaker 2: your life. I want you to believe and trust that

7:26 Speaker 2: God is still faithful, like the Word says, that you

7:30 Speaker 2: can be certain of the truth of everything you were taught.

7:34 Speaker 2: I pray that you will be certain saying yes, if

7:37 Speaker 2: God did it for his Sakarai and Elizabeth in showing

7:41 Speaker 2: up in their life, God will turn the negative aspects

7:46 Speaker 2: of my life around. God will show up in the

7:49 Speaker 2: areas where I need a miracle. He will turn things around,

7:52 Speaker 2: and He is faithful to his word. Lord. I pray

7:55 Speaker 2: for those who are in such seasons where they need

7:57 Speaker 2: this word, that You will bless them and so their

8:00 Speaker 2: prayers and they will come back with an amazing destiny

8:04 Speaker 2: in Jesus' name. I pray a really challenge you to

8:09 Speaker 2: you back next time. God bless you.
