Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.
Speaker 2: Hell Everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for
Speaker 2: the Soul with John gift podcast. You may be in
Speaker 2: a place in your life where you're saying, John, you
Speaker 2: know what, four months of this year are done. I
Speaker 2: was spraying that this year would be my year. Maybe
Speaker 2: God would show up in an area of my life,
Speaker 2: a breakthrough, a miracle at Jinujo job, or maybe you've
Speaker 2: been praying that God will give you a job. Maybe
Speaker 2: you've been praying for a job for a long period
Speaker 2: of time, or maybe you're single for a long time
Speaker 2: and you've been praying that a lot will bring the
Speaker 2: right person into your life. But I want to tell
Speaker 2: you something here, right like, even if you feel like
Speaker 2: you have stepped into the new month and nothing seems
Speaker 2: to have changed, I want you to hold down. I
Speaker 2: want you to just never give up, because we serve
Speaker 2: a God who's a faithful god. He is a god
Speaker 2: of know like you know, like a god of miracles,
Speaker 2: who can show up in moments that you never expect
Speaker 2: at all. See. One of the things about this day
Speaker 2: in particular is that if you're like me who's politically driven,
Speaker 2: like allowed to check out or not just check out,
Speaker 2: or be involved in politics, but also you know, I
Speaker 2: have a heart that you know, we don't just complain
Speaker 2: about the common policies, but we have to be involved.
Speaker 2: We need to intercede, we need to pray, we need
Speaker 2: to do our part. And today, especially if you're in India,
Speaker 2: because a lot of you listen to me from India,
Speaker 2: today happened to be the results in many of the states.
Speaker 2: We had these state election results that came out high
Speaker 2: stakes and may of you listening, maybe some of you
Speaker 2: are happy about the results. You are happy and grateful
Speaker 2: the person that you are hoping for this got the
Speaker 2: you know the victory. You're happy about it. I'm rejoicing
Speaker 2: with you. But then maybe those who are listening and saying, John,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm disappointed. I did not expect this output.
Speaker 2: I did not think God, would you know. I love
Speaker 2: this outcome to come out. But can I tell you
Speaker 2: something right? You may be disappointed, you may be hurt,
Speaker 2: and that this is a message I want to just
Speaker 2: share with you one of my scriptures that I keep
Speaker 2: going back to John, Chapter thirteen, verse seven. Jesus replied,
Speaker 2: and Jesus said, now, you don't realize it, but one
Speaker 2: day you will understand. I'm paraphrasing different translations. It says this,
Speaker 2: you do not realize now what I'm doing, but later
Speaker 2: you will understand. I tell you something. You may be
Speaker 2: in a season in your life and you're saying, John,
Speaker 2: I don't understand why we prayed, we fasted. I took
Speaker 2: the step, and you did not see the kind of
Speaker 2: results you were hoping for. I mean, it may not
Speaker 2: be elections directly, but maybe some other area. You've been
Speaker 2: praying that a lot will bring the right person into
Speaker 2: your life, but you're entering into scams of the scams
Speaker 2: or negative daily things or closed doors or people walking out,
Speaker 2: rejections and you know, heartbreaks. You're going through all of
Speaker 2: the negative things when and things are just not working out.
Speaker 2: This season of delay seems to like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: this is never ending. There seems to be no change
Speaker 2: in the outside. There's no change visible, and I'm not
Speaker 2: understand when God is going to show up in my life.
Speaker 2: You know, tell you something today, guys, even in the
Speaker 2: midst of this one more thing I was reminded today
Speaker 2: is you know, the fourth of me. And you know,
Speaker 2: those who check out this pop culture reference of star
Speaker 2: Wars or Star Wars, they people say, you know, may
Speaker 2: the Fourth be with you, May the Force be with you,
Speaker 2: or in other words, with the first Man and the
Speaker 2: fire be with you. You know what, you have to
Speaker 2: understand this important truth, guys, even though you're going through
Speaker 2: this stuff time, even though you don't understand why the
Speaker 2: miracle does not come through. You don't understand the delay,
Speaker 2: you don't understand the close to You don't understand the
Speaker 2: reason for the loss. You don't understand why. You know,
Speaker 2: despite all of the efforts, it feels like everything went
Speaker 2: to nothing. Can I tell you something in the midst
Speaker 2: of this. You're not by yourself. You're not alone. God
Speaker 2: is with you. God is in control. God is backing
Speaker 2: you up. And when you know that God is on
Speaker 2: your side, it doesn't matter who's against you, even if
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my God, John, I'm so scared because
Speaker 2: a government that is persecuting believers has come to power,
Speaker 2: and I know that the persecution might increase more. Can
Speaker 2: I tell you something in the midst of the persecution?
Speaker 2: The scripture talks about how the children of incident multiplied
Speaker 2: in the midst of persecution. I want to pray and
Speaker 2: release this over you, guys that if you're in the sea,
Speaker 2: or if you're in a place where you're governed by
Speaker 2: persecuting gangs, you're governed by leaders of persecution. Can I
Speaker 2: tell you something in the midst of the persecution, the
Speaker 2: Church will arise, in the midst of the negativity, God
Speaker 2: is going to show in the midst of darkness, light
Speaker 2: will prevail. And I want to release this over you,
Speaker 2: and I want you to remember that you're not by yourself,
Speaker 2: because the one who's going, you know, to be with
Speaker 2: you in the fire. He is the fourth man in
Speaker 2: the fire. And when you have him with you, you're
Speaker 2: going to come out victorious. In Jesus Martina. Today you
Speaker 2: are saying, I don't understand why all of this. I
Speaker 2: don't understand the results. I don't understand the troubles, I
Speaker 2: don't understand the heartbreak. Can I tell you something you
Speaker 2: may not understand now, but one day you'll look back
Speaker 2: and say, now I understand why God allow this to happen.
Speaker 2: Now I understand why this did not work out the
Speaker 2: way I expected. Can I tell you something I want
Speaker 2: to close with this. I know you might have heard
Speaker 2: the scripture so many times. Romans eight says that all
Speaker 2: things work together for good to them that love the Lord,
Speaker 2: and I called according to His purpose. When you are
Speaker 2: making that commitment to walk in accordance to your purpose
Speaker 2: that God has ordained for you, when you love the Lord,
Speaker 2: I want to tell you this, that all things, whether
Speaker 2: things look good or they don't look good, where things
Speaker 2: are fine or they're not fine, when things are the
Speaker 2: way it's supposed to be, or they're not the way
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. But in the midst of all
Speaker 2: of that, in the midst of the fire, in the
Speaker 2: midst of the rain, in the midst of the storm,
Speaker 2: in the midst of the trouble, you can be assured
Speaker 2: that the God who has led you thus far, he
Speaker 2: is faithful. He is with you in the fire, and
Speaker 2: He's not only going to be with you in the fire,
Speaker 2: but it's going to help you come out better off
Speaker 2: than you were before. You're going to come out without
Speaker 2: the smell of smoke. And when you come out, you
Speaker 2: will look back and say, now I understand why God
Speaker 2: I love this to happen in my life. Now I
Speaker 2: look back and realize why God I love this. Even
Speaker 2: though it was heard, even though it was unfair, God
Speaker 2: allowed it for a purpose in my life. Think about it.
Speaker 2: I just want to close with this example. Because many
Speaker 2: of you checked out my content on a regular basis
Speaker 2: from different places, you might have heard this that last year.
Speaker 2: At one point there was a huge financial loss that
Speaker 2: I had to go through and it was very, very hard.
Speaker 2: And because of this reason, a few months later, I
Speaker 2: had plans of visiting different nations. I've shared this with
Speaker 2: you guys, that I traveled and ministered. That's my heart.
Speaker 2: I want to travel and preach the Word, and you
Speaker 2: know that's been my heart and everything came to a standstill.
Speaker 2: Despite getting the visa and all of that, I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, everything just came to a standstill. And
Speaker 2: at that moment when I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: what is happening, I suddenly, you know, like there was
Speaker 2: a mass lay off that happened in the organization, and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, so much of uncertainty.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand what was happening. God, Why one after another?
Speaker 2: It didn't make sense. But I was glad a little
Speaker 2: later that one of the main programs for which I
Speaker 2: had to attend, a program that I had to travel
Speaker 2: to another nation, you know, Like I was like, God,
Speaker 2: you know, and give me a sign that I should
Speaker 2: go or make this way so that I will be
Speaker 2: able to take a step of faith. And it just
Speaker 2: did not happen. I didn't understand why God did not
Speaker 2: allow that to happen. And can I tell you something.
Speaker 2: Two days before that conference or the main program that
Speaker 2: I was supposed to attend and then later Minister, that
Speaker 2: entire thing got canceled because of you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of political unders that happened in the country in the
Speaker 2: last minute. At that moment, I realized that, you know what,
Speaker 2: God closed these doors. God made sure that I didn't
Speaker 2: have enough finance. I didn't have enough I mean, I
Speaker 2: didn't have the job stability. I didn't have any of
Speaker 2: these things. Because if I had any of these, I
Speaker 2: would have gone and I would have got stranded in
Speaker 2: this country at a moment of chaos. But God protected
Speaker 2: me from everything because of his faithfulness. See like this,
Speaker 2: One day you look back and say, this is why
Speaker 2: God closed that door. This is why God allowed me
Speaker 2: to go through this. This is why God prepared me.
Speaker 2: Because I went through that financial loss, I was better
Speaker 2: prepared when the job loss happened because I was financially
Speaker 2: in a position where I had saved enough over the
Speaker 2: last couple of months before. Between the financial laws and
Speaker 2: the job loss. You get what I'm saying. Like that,
Speaker 2: God prepares you in the midst of undesirable trouble. You
Speaker 2: get know what I'm saying. You may not understand why
Speaker 2: this trouble, but if that hadn't happen, I wouldn't have
Speaker 2: been ready to handle this. If this hadn't happened, you
Speaker 2: would all missed something worse. You might have got stranded,
Speaker 2: something worse, could have happened. So today, instead of crying
Speaker 2: about what didn't happen or what happened, why didn't you
Speaker 2: trust and trust the Lord and say God, I choose
Speaker 2: to trust you in the mist. So this I know
Speaker 2: that You're going to make all things beautiful in my life. Emmen.
Speaker 2: God bless you. Guys.
