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

0:46 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this edition of the Fuel for

0:48 Speaker 2: the Soul with John Gifta Podcast. It's such a joint

0:51 Speaker 2: honor for me to be with you back as we

0:53 Speaker 2: are doing the series on getting clarity in life. This

0:56 Speaker 2: is such a timely topic and I really recommend that

0:58 Speaker 2: you share this with those know who will be benefited.

1:01 Speaker 2: And I also recommend that if you have not checked

1:04 Speaker 2: out the previous segments of this series, I want you

1:08 Speaker 2: to just go down and check these because I believe

1:10 Speaker 2: there are powerful tools that we've been speaking about and

1:13 Speaker 2: this will really help you as you are trying to

1:16 Speaker 2: get clarity in various series of your life as well.

1:19 Speaker 2: So today as we're going into this aspect of getting

1:23 Speaker 2: into the element of taking steps based on the things

1:28 Speaker 2: that we have already discussed in the last couple of episodes,

1:33 Speaker 2: one of the things I want to remind you is

1:35 Speaker 2: like how the first and foremost thing that you need

1:38 Speaker 2: to keep as the basis for getting clarity in life

1:41 Speaker 2: is to hear the voice of God and go in

1:45 Speaker 2: accordance to how the Lord is leading you. And I

1:48 Speaker 2: also told you that God will not give you all

1:50 Speaker 2: the details right away. You need to get to that

1:54 Speaker 2: place where you understand that God is going to lead

1:56 Speaker 2: you step by step, so you need to depend on

1:59 Speaker 2: Him every step along the way, and you need to

2:01 Speaker 2: shut off the wrong voices, have a clear mind so

2:05 Speaker 2: that you will get clear direction from the Lord and

2:09 Speaker 2: let go of things that you're trying to control and

2:12 Speaker 2: start trusting God more. And I also talked about the

2:15 Speaker 2: importance of slowing down, the importance of taking a pause,

2:19 Speaker 2: the importance of taking care of your physical body, and

2:23 Speaker 2: also I shed a few other tips like writing down

2:27 Speaker 2: to get clarity and structure and allowing the peace of

2:30 Speaker 2: God to be your empire, as mentioned in Collusions three

2:35 Speaker 2: point fifteen as well. So today I'm going to talk

2:37 Speaker 2: about one aspect of how when God is giving you

2:41 Speaker 2: direction or you feel that peace and the Lord is

2:43 Speaker 2: saying go in a certain direction, or I want you

2:46 Speaker 2: to do this or do that, I want you at

2:48 Speaker 2: the same first and foremost that like I said before,

2:51 Speaker 2: that God is not going to give you all the details, right,

2:53 Speaker 2: It's not going to give you all the details. At

2:55 Speaker 2: the same time, you need to get started with the

2:58 Speaker 2: details He has already given you, and as you go,

3:02 Speaker 2: God will give you the details you need when you

3:04 Speaker 2: need to have them. One of the things I want

3:07 Speaker 2: to talk to you from is found in Genesis twenty two,

3:10 Speaker 2: and I'm going to talk to you about how there

3:12 Speaker 2: was a moment when God was going to test Abraham

3:15 Speaker 2: with regard to his promise Isaac. And here's the thing.

3:18 Speaker 2: And you look at first two. God is saying, take

3:21 Speaker 2: your son, your only son whom you'll love, Isaac, and

3:23 Speaker 2: go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as

3:28 Speaker 2: a burnt offering on the mountain. I will show you.

3:31 Speaker 2: I want you to understand something very important here. A

3:34 Speaker 2: lot of times people just misunderstand and say, oh, God

3:36 Speaker 2: told him to go and sacrifice on Mount Moriah. Listen,

3:40 Speaker 2: it's not Mount Moriah. It says on one of the

3:43 Speaker 2: mountains in the region of Moriah. Now I want you

3:47 Speaker 2: to understand, like how you have the Himalayas, you have

3:51 Speaker 2: the Andes, you have the Swiss Alps, so you have

3:54 Speaker 2: different mountain regions, the rockies and all that. I want

3:57 Speaker 2: you to understand the same way. This is not a

4:01 Speaker 2: particular mountain called Moriah. There were so many mountains and

4:05 Speaker 2: in that region of Moriah. God is saying I wanted

4:09 Speaker 2: to go there and sacrifice Isaac. Now understand something. This

4:13 Speaker 2: should involve a lot of emotional, mental, and physical strain

4:18 Speaker 2: on Abraham. He was already an old man and finally

4:22 Speaker 2: he got this promise from the Lord. And he gets Isaac,

4:25 Speaker 2: and God is saying, take your son, your only son,

4:29 Speaker 2: whom you love. It's like God is literally you know,

4:33 Speaker 2: he doesn't behold when he wants to test someone, right,

4:36 Speaker 2: Like He's like, I want you to go because you

4:38 Speaker 2: can understand the depth of this. Take your son, your

4:41 Speaker 2: only son, and I know that you love him. Take him,

4:44 Speaker 2: and I want you to offer him as a sacrifice.

4:46 Speaker 2: And on top of all of that, God is not

4:48 Speaker 2: even telling him which mountain to go and sacrifice Isaac.

4:53 Speaker 2: He's saying, go to this region. Think about this. I

4:56 Speaker 2: was like, come on, You're asking Abraham to do such

5:00 Speaker 2: a you know, tedious task. You're asking him to do

5:03 Speaker 2: something that has such a weight on his emotions. And

5:09 Speaker 2: I do not know how he's going to even answer

5:11 Speaker 2: to Sarah if it all he sacrifices his son. I

5:14 Speaker 2: feel like so many things involved. Can't God at least

5:17 Speaker 2: give him all the details? But you see, God is

5:20 Speaker 2: just saying go to the region. Like imagine like for example,

5:23 Speaker 2: when you say the Himalayas, right, Himalayas are there right

5:27 Speaker 2: from Pakistan, through India, through Nepal, Bhutan, and I mean

5:33 Speaker 2: even in Tibet and parts of China. So many things right,

5:36 Speaker 2: Like imagine, God is saying, I want you to take

5:39 Speaker 2: you know, your son, to mean, take Abraham. God is saying,

5:44 Speaker 2: and I want you to go and climb one of

5:46 Speaker 2: the mountains in Nepal for example, Right, Nepal is full

5:51 Speaker 2: of mountains right to full. It's it's it's a predominantly

5:55 Speaker 2: Himalayan region, right, Or you take in India. There's this

5:59 Speaker 2: cash Marie. The northernmost state in India is completely filled

6:06 Speaker 2: with the Himalayas. Now, I want you to think about this,

6:09 Speaker 2: or God is saying, I want you to go to

6:11 Speaker 2: this region and sacrifice. Come on God, like I mean,

6:15 Speaker 2: if you've been to those regions, you know, the himalayan

6:18 Speaker 2: I've been there, and I'm telling you, when you fly

6:22 Speaker 2: over the Himalayas, you know, they look like how do

6:26 Speaker 2: I say this? Like this, there's so huge, there's so majestic,

6:30 Speaker 2: and when you are on the Himalayas also you look

6:34 Speaker 2: like a tiny dot in the size of the Himalayas. Now,

6:37 Speaker 2: of course these mountains were not as big as the Himalayas,

6:40 Speaker 2: the ones where Abraham encountered, but I want you to

6:44 Speaker 2: still think about this, like the region has so many

6:47 Speaker 2: mountains and Abraham has to figure out which mountain. God

6:51 Speaker 2: is not even telling him which mountain. But the Bible

6:55 Speaker 2: says in verse three. Early the next morning, Abraham got

6:59 Speaker 2: up and loaded donkey. He took with him two of

7:01 Speaker 2: his servants and his son Isaac, and he set out.

7:05 Speaker 2: He set out for the place God had told him about.

7:10 Speaker 2: And I want you to understand verse four. All right,

7:13 Speaker 2: it says on the third day, Abraham looked up and

7:17 Speaker 2: saw the place in a distance. I want you to

7:21 Speaker 2: understand something here. Sometimes God will give you direction to

7:27 Speaker 2: go in a certain way. You'll say, go towards this region,

7:32 Speaker 2: go towards this person, or try a job in this field,

7:37 Speaker 2: or look for a spouse in this community, or try

7:42 Speaker 2: this approach in your maybe business strategy or something. God

7:47 Speaker 2: gives you some idea. He doesn't give you all the resers.

7:50 Speaker 2: It's like, try this, go here, go to this region,

7:52 Speaker 2: go to this particular place, and what happens you go there?

7:57 Speaker 2: When you go there, Like Abraham, the Bible doesn't say

8:01 Speaker 2: that God told him this is the mountain. God didn't

8:04 Speaker 2: say like the Bible says, he looked up and he

8:07 Speaker 2: saw the place. So sometimes what happens is clarity comes

8:10 Speaker 2: when you get there. Clarity comes when you just take

8:13 Speaker 2: us up a faith based on what God has already

8:15 Speaker 2: told you, and when you reach the place, you'll know,

8:19 Speaker 2: this is what I need to do. This is the

8:21 Speaker 2: person I need to marry, This is the job I

8:24 Speaker 2: need to take, This is the venture I need to grasp,

8:27 Speaker 2: this is the skill I need to upskill myself with

8:31 Speaker 2: this is what I got to do. Sometimes you won't

8:33 Speaker 2: get clarity till you go to the region. My challenge is,

8:39 Speaker 2: instead of waiting for clarity where you want all the details,

8:43 Speaker 2: I want you to get started. I want you to

8:45 Speaker 2: keep moving. I want you to keep going forward because

8:49 Speaker 2: when you go at the right appointed time, you look

8:53 Speaker 2: up and you will see this is what God wanted

8:56 Speaker 2: you to do. This is where you have to be

8:59 Speaker 2: the person you have to be associated or connected with.

9:02 Speaker 2: This is the thing that God had for you. I

9:06 Speaker 2: want you to believe that. I want you to trust him.

9:10 Speaker 2: So today that is my challenge. Even as you journeyed

9:13 Speaker 2: with me, I really recommend that you go through the

9:16 Speaker 2: rest of the episodes. We've covered ten episodes on this

9:19 Speaker 2: topic of getting clarity in life. I'd really challenge you

9:22 Speaker 2: to go deep journey and listen again. And if you

9:27 Speaker 2: have any questions on getting clarity, I really really challenged

9:31 Speaker 2: that you would get back to me through Instagram or
