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 Fueld for

0:48 Speaker 2: the Soul with John Gifta podcast. All through this week,

0:51 Speaker 2: we're looking at various lessons that we can take away

0:53 Speaker 2: from the incident recorded in Acts Chapter twelve Versus six onwards.

0:58 Speaker 2: I really recommend you to go back and the other

1:00 Speaker 2: segments of the series through the podcast or through YouTube

1:04 Speaker 2: playlists so that it will help you in your understanding

1:08 Speaker 2: of the passage and to drive deeper revelations that will

1:11 Speaker 2: help you in your walk with the Lord as well.

1:14 Speaker 2: See one of the things I wanted to understand is

1:16 Speaker 2: that when you look at this incident, there's a moment

1:18 Speaker 2: where Peter is in a very despicable place where he's

1:22 Speaker 2: about to be sentenced to be killed, just like the

1:25 Speaker 2: apostle James. But there is a supernatural intervention while he's

1:29 Speaker 2: in prison when an angel wakes him up and that

1:33 Speaker 2: his changed to fall off. And there's a very powerful

1:35 Speaker 2: revelation of how the supernatural element of the change falling

1:40 Speaker 2: off is not just the change falling, but also that

1:43 Speaker 2: when the chains fell on the floor, they did not

1:46 Speaker 2: wake up any of the sixteen soldiers that were there.

1:49 Speaker 2: So the way God does miracles in our life is

1:52 Speaker 2: something sometimes we feel like it doesn't even feel like

1:57 Speaker 2: a miracle. You can't hear about. You can't hear or notice,

2:02 Speaker 2: because he does miracles in a soundproof manner. But one

2:06 Speaker 2: of the things I wanted to understand is that when

2:08 Speaker 2: they were going the scriptures talks about an incident where

2:12 Speaker 2: in verse ten, they passed the first and the second

2:16 Speaker 2: guard post and came to the iron gate leading to

2:19 Speaker 2: the city, and this opened for them all by itself.

2:26 Speaker 2: The iron gate opened all by itself. I remember going

2:32 Speaker 2: into one of the washroom areas in one of the

2:37 Speaker 2: busy areas of Singapore, and this was the first time

2:41 Speaker 2: I came across automatic doors for washrooms. I was like,

2:47 Speaker 2: this is something I've not seen, like maybe it's new

2:50 Speaker 2: and it's trendy for me. This was way back, many

2:53 Speaker 2: many years ago. I had not seen that, so I

2:55 Speaker 2: was really fascinated. I'm just walking near this door and

2:59 Speaker 2: the doors opened by itself, and I was like, oh

3:01 Speaker 2: my gosh. And immediately I was reminded of this incident

3:05 Speaker 2: because the they asked they were walking the gate opened

3:10 Speaker 2: by itself. See, I want you to understand something very

3:13 Speaker 2: important here. Today. You may be feeling like John, I'm stuck.

3:16 Speaker 2: I'm not able to move forward because I'm stuck. There's

3:19 Speaker 2: a there's a door that's that's that's closed. There's a

3:24 Speaker 2: there's a there's a gate that's not letting me go

3:27 Speaker 2: by pass it. I'm not able to go through this.

3:31 Speaker 2: It's a huge wall. I'm there's something stopping me. Like

3:34 Speaker 2: maybe with regard to your career, your business, your relationships,

3:38 Speaker 2: your finance, your you're you're calling or whatever it is

3:42 Speaker 2: you're saying, No matter what step by Dick, it's like

3:45 Speaker 2: hitting a dead end. It's like nothing is working and

3:48 Speaker 2: I'm scared to make a move. But I want you

3:51 Speaker 2: to understand something here that when you see this incident,

3:55 Speaker 2: I was reminded of how the Scripture talks about in

3:57 Speaker 2: the Book of Revelations that are gone open doors no

4:00 Speaker 2: man can shut. You know, when you realize that God

4:03 Speaker 2: is your doorkeeper, When you realize that God opens doors,

4:08 Speaker 2: it's not you striving. It's not you making things happen.

4:12 Speaker 2: Life gets so much better. It's not you operating from

4:16 Speaker 2: a mode of striving, from a mode where you think

4:19 Speaker 2: that you're the one running your life. But you get

4:21 Speaker 2: to a place where you trust God. God, you are

4:23 Speaker 2: my doorkeeper. You will open the right doors for me.

4:26 Speaker 2: You will bring in the right people across my path.

4:29 Speaker 2: You will connect me with the right opportunities. You will

4:32 Speaker 2: do what needs to be done when it needs to

4:34 Speaker 2: be done. You don't have to work through Like I'm

4:37 Speaker 2: not saying be complacent and lazy. That's not what I mean.

4:39 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is you don't have to think

4:42 Speaker 2: that the whole weight is on your shoulders, but rather

4:46 Speaker 2: you just trust God and allow him to lead you

4:49 Speaker 2: and guide you. What happens. He will lead you. He

4:52 Speaker 2: will guide you. And what happens when he does the

4:54 Speaker 2: supernatural miracle doors open on its own. You don't have

4:58 Speaker 2: to force it. You don't have to manipulate, you don't

5:01 Speaker 2: have to try to convince people. You don't have to

5:03 Speaker 2: try to make things happen. You just have to just relax,

5:08 Speaker 2: and the door will open of its own a card.

5:11 Speaker 2: The gates will open of their own a card. God

5:14 Speaker 2: will make sure that every hindrances towards your God given

5:18 Speaker 2: calling and purpose.

5:19 Speaker 1: Will be removed.

5:21 Speaker 2: In Jesus Mighty name. You may be feeling like John,

5:24 Speaker 2: nothing is working. Just hold on because at God's appointed time,

5:28 Speaker 2: the right door will open, at God's appointed time, the

5:32 Speaker 2: right person will step in. At God's appointed time, the

5:35 Speaker 2: right things will fall in place. Because I always believe

5:37 Speaker 2: this that when it's not God's appointed time, everything will

5:41 Speaker 2: fall apart. But when it's God's appointed time, everything will

5:45 Speaker 2: fall in place. So today, if nothing is happening, like

5:48 Speaker 2: for example, you see when Peter was arrested, nothing happened.

5:53 Speaker 2: It was all looking the same. When Peter was in

5:55 Speaker 2: the prison, nothing changed, Everything looked the same. In fact,

6:00 Speaker 2: was fast as sleep. The Bible says, maybe or through

6:03 Speaker 2: the night nothing changed. But suddenly there was a supernatural miracle.

6:08 Speaker 2: Suddenly everything turned around. Suddenly God showed up in an

6:12 Speaker 2: unexpected manner. In Peter's case, what happened. He not only

6:17 Speaker 2: saw the sound proof miracle when his chains fell off,

6:20 Speaker 2: but when he's coming, the huge iron gate opened by itself. See.

6:26 Speaker 2: I remember going through the season of a layoff, and

6:30 Speaker 2: it was really hard. There's so many things coming against me,

6:33 Speaker 2: discouragements and attacks and so much of opposition. There was

6:38 Speaker 2: so much of pressure on either side, like what is

6:40 Speaker 2: happening with my life and all of these things. But

6:43 Speaker 2: when I was in that midst of that, I remember

6:46 Speaker 2: God showed me a vision of a huge door and

6:50 Speaker 2: the door opened by itself. And the Lord said, listen,

6:54 Speaker 2: and when I am opening, I will open the door

6:58 Speaker 2: of its own accord. God said, you don't have to

7:01 Speaker 2: force it, you don't have to manipulate, you don't have

7:03 Speaker 2: to beg you don't have to try to strive. You

7:07 Speaker 2: just be your best. You just go the extra mile.

7:09 Speaker 2: You just have the spirit of excellence. You do what

7:12 Speaker 2: you're supposed to do. Heal to my spirit and just

7:15 Speaker 2: trust me, because at the right of pointed time, I

7:18 Speaker 2: will open a door of my own ACCRD. This is

7:21 Speaker 2: a word for some of you that you are striving,

7:24 Speaker 2: You're worried, you're anxious, your like time is sticking and

7:28 Speaker 2: nothing is changing. Just relax because at God's appointed time,

7:32 Speaker 2: your doors will open of their own account. The gates

7:35 Speaker 2: are going to just spring open. The limitations and hindrances

7:40 Speaker 2: are going to be remote, and you're going to come

7:42 Speaker 2: all victorious in Jesus Mighty name. I really challenge you
