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

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:47 Speaker 2: the Soul with John Gifta podcast. All through this week

0:50 Speaker 2: we are looking at various aspects that we can learn

0:53 Speaker 2: or inculcate in not understanding and knowing God has our

0:57 Speaker 2: Heavenly Father today. One of the things I want you

0:59 Speaker 2: to understand predominantly is the fact that when you know

1:03 Speaker 2: that your Heavenly Father is backing you up, you can

1:07 Speaker 2: walk with that boldness and that confidence and have an

1:11 Speaker 2: outlook towards life, not from a defeated perspective, but from

1:15 Speaker 2: a perspective of knowing that you are more than a

1:17 Speaker 2: conqueror through Christ. See the scripture says in Romans eight

1:22 Speaker 2: thirty seven that we are more than conquerors through Christ.

1:26 Speaker 2: And when you see, even when we look at Jesus

1:28 Speaker 2: when he said in Luke ten, verse nineteen, for I

1:32 Speaker 2: have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions.

1:36 Speaker 2: So God has given us power. God has given us

1:39 Speaker 2: the authority. So my question is when you say that

1:43 Speaker 2: you know God as a father, are you walking with

1:46 Speaker 2: that authority that God has given you. It's not from

1:49 Speaker 2: a place of arrogance, like oh I know everything. Not

1:52 Speaker 2: from a place of aarrogance, not from a place of entitlement.

1:56 Speaker 2: That's not what I'm referring to. But what I'm saying

1:58 Speaker 2: is you should have that confidence, not from a place

2:02 Speaker 2: of like, you know what, it's just confidence in me,

2:05 Speaker 2: but rather the confidence I have in Christ. So when

2:10 Speaker 2: you walk with that, you will see the difference. You'll

2:13 Speaker 2: be able to trample on the schemes of the enemy,

2:16 Speaker 2: You'll be able to take authority, you'll be able to

2:19 Speaker 2: be bold, you will have a different outlook of life.

2:22 Speaker 2: Because a lot of Christians are living a very defeated

2:25 Speaker 2: Christian life. They're reading the Bible, they're going to church,

2:29 Speaker 2: they're praying, but their life is just a mess, so defeated. See,

2:34 Speaker 2: I'm not saying you will not have problems. I'm not

2:35 Speaker 2: saying you won't have seasons that look like a job

2:38 Speaker 2: season in their life. But what I am saying is

2:41 Speaker 2: in the in the when you look at the all

2:45 Speaker 2: in all perspective, like how the Bible says, and we

2:47 Speaker 2: know in all things. It doesn't say that there won't

2:50 Speaker 2: be bad things, there will be good things. There will

2:52 Speaker 2: be not so good things, that will be difficult season,

2:55 Speaker 2: they'll be easier seasons. But in all things we know

2:59 Speaker 2: that God works together for good. So the question is,

3:02 Speaker 2: in all things, if you're feeling like your life is

3:05 Speaker 2: only going downhill and not going up, if you're feeling

3:08 Speaker 2: like there's some kind of a restriction or you're not

3:10 Speaker 2: able to walk in that authority, then maybe you need

3:14 Speaker 2: to ask God to help you walk in that authority,

3:18 Speaker 2: walk with that boldness. Say you know what, I'm not ordinary.

3:21 Speaker 2: I'm a child of the King of kings and the

3:23 Speaker 2: Lord of lots. When I walk, demons have to flee.

3:26 Speaker 2: When I speak. These sicknesses have to lead. But that

3:30 Speaker 2: is the kind of boldness I want you to walk with.

3:34 Speaker 2: I remember a moment where there was a little kid

3:37 Speaker 2: who was creating a lot of ruckus in a church

3:40 Speaker 2: at some point that everybody who tried to control him

3:43 Speaker 2: none of them were able to control him. And eventually

3:46 Speaker 2: they took him to the lead past and said, hey,

3:50 Speaker 2: what happened, and try to, you know, scold him and

3:54 Speaker 2: try to rebuke him and trying to discipline him. This

3:57 Speaker 2: boy became extra again. He said, do you know who

4:01 Speaker 2: my father is? And eventually come to find out his

4:06 Speaker 2: dad was a very run out, you know, a real

4:09 Speaker 2: leader or something like that. So this boy had this

4:13 Speaker 2: boldness and this kind of a feeling that you know what,

4:17 Speaker 2: my dad holds this place, my dad owns this area,

4:21 Speaker 2: My dad is in control, and so I can do

4:24 Speaker 2: whatever I want, you know what I mean. But you see,

4:27 Speaker 2: as much as that's the negative set, that's what I'm saying,

4:30 Speaker 2: don't try to go into the ad agains or that entitlement,

4:33 Speaker 2: but rather go to that place where you take that boldness,

4:37 Speaker 2: like the way this child is having that boldness saying

4:39 Speaker 2: do you know who my father is? The enemy is attacking,

4:42 Speaker 2: you say, do you know who my father is? When

4:45 Speaker 2: delays are coming away, you say, do you know who

4:47 Speaker 2: my father is? When people are trying to put you down,

4:50 Speaker 2: you say, do you know who my father is? Because

4:52 Speaker 2: when you know who your heavenly father is, you will

4:55 Speaker 2: approach life with that boldness. You will say, devil, you

4:59 Speaker 2: stand no ground against me. Now, I'm not preaching from

5:03 Speaker 2: a place of theory. Remember this, I never preach anything

5:06 Speaker 2: from a place of theory. What I preach is always

5:09 Speaker 2: directly from the Word of God and out of what

5:13 Speaker 2: I've seen the Word coming to pass in my life.

5:17 Speaker 2: I've shared this many times. I don't talk about things

5:19 Speaker 2: that God has still not healed me off. I don't

5:21 Speaker 2: talk about things that I'm still struggling with and I'm

5:24 Speaker 2: not completely got delividence from. I don't want to be

5:28 Speaker 2: a hypocrite. That's my walk with God. I have shared God,

5:31 Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about things which you're still

5:33 Speaker 2: not healed. And so if I'm sharing that there is

5:37 Speaker 2: a thought ity, there is power that you possessed as

5:40 Speaker 2: a child of God. I have seen that. I have walked,

5:43 Speaker 2: and I've seen demons flee. I have commanded in Jesus name,

5:48 Speaker 2: sicknesses go and sicknesses have left. I'm not making this up.

5:53 Speaker 2: There's so many testimonies of people getting healed and delivered.

5:57 Speaker 2: Death fears pop open directly. These miracles still happen, guys,

6:02 Speaker 2: because that's what the Bible says that in Mark sixteen seventeen,

6:07 Speaker 2: ver was seventeen and eighty. These signs shall follow them

6:10 Speaker 2: that believe you see the when Jesus was giving the

6:14 Speaker 2: great commission, he said, you will go, you will raise

6:17 Speaker 2: the dead, you will feel the sake. See, making disciples

6:22 Speaker 2: is not just preaching, but also with the power and

6:26 Speaker 2: the authority. If you really want to make a difference

6:29 Speaker 2: in this world, you can't do it with just theory

6:32 Speaker 2: and knowledge. You need that authority. You need that boldness.

6:36 Speaker 2: When I go and preach in certain places, I know

6:39 Speaker 2: the kind of attacks the enemy tries to have over

6:41 Speaker 2: me and my family. I keep fighting against it. I

6:44 Speaker 2: keep thinking authority. As much as everybody loves what they

6:49 Speaker 2: see from the outside and the media, everything looks picture

6:52 Speaker 2: perfect and all of that, but behind all of that,

6:56 Speaker 2: the enemy attacks. The spiritual warfare is and that's why

7:01 Speaker 2: you need to know that you have that authority to

7:05 Speaker 2: trample on snakes and scorpions. You have the authority to

7:09 Speaker 2: break every chain. You have the authority to speak to

7:12 Speaker 2: the mountain and the mountain will be removed. You have

7:14 Speaker 2: the authority to walk knowing that you can overcome every obstacle,

7:20 Speaker 2: defeat every enemy, slay every giant, and you can fulfill

7:25 Speaker 2: the purpose that God has for you. Do you believe that?

7:31 Speaker 2: Do you believe that? I want to pray in the

7:34 Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ for those who are watching listening,

7:36 Speaker 2: that they will walk with the awareness of the authority

7:39 Speaker 2: that they carry. That they're not ordinary, but they have

7:43 Speaker 2: the authority given to them by the King of Kings

7:46 Speaker 2: and the Lord of Lords, and with that authority they

7:51 Speaker 2: will do great feats for the Kingdom of God. In

7:56 Speaker 2: Jesus name, I pray. I really recommend you to leave
