0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Yes, this is something that I've shared about it many times, a lot of times, and this is a passage that I've spoken about several times in my messages. But you know, I want to tell you guys, you know, this is maybe something that you can take as a reminder, or it could be something that comes as a as a gentle rebuke or a word of exhortation for you so that you will apply it in your life. You know, I'll tell you honestly, a lot of times, we know the scriptures, we know what the Bible says, but the reason we're still worried.

1:24 The reason we are still filled with anxiety, we the reason we speak as if we are of the people of the world with no hope and we don't know how things are going to be, is not because we don't know the Bible. It's because we are not applying what we know into our lives. Right, That's what I want to remind you. You know, in the last couple of days, a couple of people made comments about me, saying, John, You're not concerned, you have no concern about the reality of your life, you know, concerning major stuff happening in my life.

1:56 And the truth is, it's not that I don't care or I don't have any concern or I don't bother about it. But every time I have a sense of worry or anytime I'm concerned about something, you know, I just took through the Bible. I just telling you, honestly, I took to the Bible. I would immediately go to the scripture because this has been my guiding scripture for me in this area of Philippine chapter four, and I'm reading from the Nalty version. In verse six, it says, don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything, Tell God what you need and thank you for what he has done.

2:28 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything you can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Now I'm telling you, guys, this scripture has been the reality of my life. I'm telling you, in the midst of uncertainty, in the midst of so much of turmoil, in the midst of so many questions, in the midst of so much of questions on my faith, I'm telling you I always went back to the word of God. I've always been back to what the Lord has already spoken.

2:55 Every time I was tempted to worry, every time I had anxiety attacks. Honestly, even a couple of days back, in the middle of the night, I was woken up with so many questions and tosks. It's just, you know, kept me awake. And every time such things happen, immediately I would turn to the Lord. Immediately I would convert that into prayer. And I encourage you guys to do that. I truly encourage you guys to do that. I know it's not easy. I know it's something you'll be like oh, I know this already, But Kennethy is something.

3:25 Sometimes the real reason is that we think that we already know it and we don't need to know it again. But sometimes sometimes I listen to the same messages by certain renowned ministers again and again, even if it seems repetitive, because you know, the scripture says fat comes by the hearing of the word. Not when you hear once and forget it, but you constantly hear, you constantly feed on it, you constantly pondered on it. When you constantly get to that same scripture and say, you know what, I want to live this scripture, not just read it, not just know it, but I want to live in it.

3:53 I want to walk in it. When you walk with that, this becomes your real reality. You know what I did every time I'm reminded, every time I feel like giving up, every time I feel like, you know, a sense of hopelessness, I would immediately start praying, speaking in tongues. I'm telling you, guys, I have seen the sense of peace, you know. I love how the Message version talks about the same passage. You know, the Message wation says like this, you know, a sense of great peace and knowing comes and fills in and settles you down.

4:22 That's what the Bible says. You know, even if your outside does not settled, you settle down first. And that's settling down comes when you convert your prayer point into prayer. Instead of worrying about it, instead of being anxious about it, pray about it. I know it's a very simple message. It's a very simple thought that you want to heard a million times. But I'm telling you, I'm speaking from a place. This is being the reality of my life and to the fact that people actually think that I'm not worried or how can I be so happy?

4:56 Maybe you know I don't understand the seriousness. No, it's not because I don't understand the business. It's because you know what Being in the presence of God, you know, takes away the body. Being in the presence of God removes anxiety. Being in the presence of God, you know, you can see that God is in control. I don't know how I can explain it. I can't put my finger on it, but I know, and I know without a shot of adult that all is well, and I go. I want to share that with you guys and encourage you today.

5:20 You know, if you are worried, if you are anxious, are you praying about it? Are you taking it to the Lord? Are you depending on the Lord. It's not just prayer as an act of performance or an act of ritual or putting your hair prayer. You know, faith on the act of prayer. But it's about taking it to the Lord. It's about your relationship with God. It's about you conveying it to the Lord. And I want to tell you your life will never be the same again.
