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

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello, everyone, is such a joy for me to join

0:47 Speaker 2: you on this segment of the Field for the Soul

0:48 Speaker 2: with John gift of podcast. If you've been checking out,

0:51 Speaker 2: I just want to let you know that this week

0:52 Speaker 2: we're doing a series on understanding that you and I,

0:56 Speaker 2: as children of the Most Igard, we have an advantage.

0:59 Speaker 2: We have something special, and that is the fact that

1:02 Speaker 2: you and I carry the favor of God. We have

1:05 Speaker 2: the favor of Gods surrounding us. That's the thing I

1:08 Speaker 2: wanted to establish in my previous segment. I will encourage

1:10 Speaker 2: you to go back and check that, because I want

1:12 Speaker 2: you to understand that when you understand that you are

1:14 Speaker 2: highly favored, you have the favor of God surrounding you.

1:17 Speaker 2: You have the favor of God leading you, guiding you

1:20 Speaker 2: every step along the way. You will understand that you're

1:22 Speaker 2: not at a disadvantage. You don't have a negative outlook

1:25 Speaker 2: of life, but you have a different outlook in life

1:27 Speaker 2: knowing that, you know what, I'm a child of the

1:29 Speaker 2: King of Kings and the lot of lots, not from

1:31 Speaker 2: a place of arrogance, but a place of confidence, knowing

1:35 Speaker 2: that God is leading you and guiding you, and that

1:38 Speaker 2: special favor is going to help you fulfill the purpose

1:41 Speaker 2: that He has since so for you. In line with this,

1:43 Speaker 2: I want to remind you of something very important. One

1:45 Speaker 2: of the characteristics that I want you to remember with

1:48 Speaker 2: regard to knowing that you are having this favor is

1:51 Speaker 2: something that you have to understand. Sometimes we think that, yes,

1:54 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm one of the eight billion people

1:57 Speaker 2: on earth. You know, there's nothing special about me. Is

2:00 Speaker 2: one of the people who just you know, born one day,

2:04 Speaker 2: die one day. You know, like the way the world says,

2:06 Speaker 2: you see, there's a place to not overthink or or

2:09 Speaker 2: you know, think of yourself too highly than you ought

2:12 Speaker 2: to do that. There's also another other extreme you need

2:16 Speaker 2: to be aware of, because that's what the scripture says.

2:19 Speaker 2: But at the same time, you have to understand that

2:21 Speaker 2: when you know that you're a child of the King

2:23 Speaker 2: of Kings and a lot of lots, when you know

2:25 Speaker 2: that your heavenly father controls standard universe, your heavenly Father

2:30 Speaker 2: is by your side. Your heavenly Father is leading you, guiding,

2:33 Speaker 2: your teaching you, molding you. I want you to understand

2:35 Speaker 2: that your daddy rules the world, right, your Daddy controls

2:39 Speaker 2: the world. When you understand that, you understand that you

2:42 Speaker 2: know what. For example, if you take a prince or

2:45 Speaker 2: a princess on Planet Tour, it like right now, when

2:48 Speaker 2: you think about the royal family in England and you

2:51 Speaker 2: look at the royal family, the prince and the princess,

2:53 Speaker 2: or you look at the royal family in Spain or

2:55 Speaker 2: any of the things, if you see they work with

2:59 Speaker 2: that knowing that you know what their father or their

3:02 Speaker 2: lineage is royalty, you know what I mean? They not

3:06 Speaker 2: with arrogance. I mean, don't think about the arrogance part.

3:09 Speaker 2: But I'm talking of thinking about the fact that you

3:11 Speaker 2: know what the confidence that comes in, like you know

3:14 Speaker 2: what a special treatment that comes to them because of

3:17 Speaker 2: royalty or special treatment. People just want to be good

3:20 Speaker 2: to them. People want to be kind to them. You see,

3:22 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. You may say I'm not

3:25 Speaker 2: from a royal lineage. You may not be from an

3:27 Speaker 2: earthly royal lineage, but you're from the royal lineage of

3:30 Speaker 2: the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And

3:33 Speaker 2: because of that, what happens is you can't explain this,

3:35 Speaker 2: but the right people are going to like you, show

3:38 Speaker 2: special interest towards you. You can't even understand why and

3:41 Speaker 2: how that happens. That is the favor of God. Some people,

3:45 Speaker 2: you may be saying, like, I don't understand why this

3:47 Speaker 2: person likes me. I don't understand why she has special

3:49 Speaker 2: interest in me. I don't understand why this person decided

3:52 Speaker 2: to go the extra line for me. I don't understand

3:54 Speaker 2: why this person decided to support me. In my vision,

3:58 Speaker 2: I wanted to understand that is the Lord and his

4:01 Speaker 2: favor causing some people to show that kindness towards you.

4:05 Speaker 2: See when you think about in the scripture, right when

4:07 Speaker 2: you talk about Esther. I just love the story of Esther. Right,

4:11 Speaker 2: there's a moment when the next queen is about to

4:14 Speaker 2: be selected and the lord, thousands of young women from

4:17 Speaker 2: the kingdom are they're about to be trained and all

4:20 Speaker 2: of this. But there's a worse that really really catches

4:23 Speaker 2: my attention every time I go back to this. It's

4:25 Speaker 2: found in Esther two verse nine, right, the man who

4:28 Speaker 2: was in charge, the man who was in charge. The

4:32 Speaker 2: Bible says that Esther gained the favor of this man

4:37 Speaker 2: in Esther to verse nine. Okay, I'm talking about it

4:38 Speaker 2: in different translations. This man was impressed with Esther. Esther

4:43 Speaker 2: has not done anything yet, but you know, he's impressed

4:45 Speaker 2: with Esther, and he started treating her very well. She

4:50 Speaker 2: gained his favor. See, this man has nothing in return.

4:54 Speaker 2: He's not going to get anything in return. He's not

4:56 Speaker 2: going to get Esther as his wife. Right Like, he's

4:59 Speaker 2: not person nearly getting anything in benefit. But what caused

5:03 Speaker 2: this man to show special interest towards Esther? What caused

5:07 Speaker 2: this man to be kind to Esther? What coused this

5:11 Speaker 2: man to be impressed by Esther? Esther did not come

5:14 Speaker 2: from a great background. Esther did not have anything to

5:17 Speaker 2: back up. She didn't have great data, she didn't have

5:20 Speaker 2: a great you know, qualification that made us set apart

5:23 Speaker 2: from the rest. In fact, she was from the the

5:26 Speaker 2: you know, like the group that were later on going

5:29 Speaker 2: to be persecuted, right like the Jews were actually going

5:32 Speaker 2: to be persecuted. She was from that. And yes, the

5:36 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to understand. She didn't have anything on

5:39 Speaker 2: paper that could make us stand out. But yet this

5:42 Speaker 2: man showed that, you know, like a sense of favor

5:48 Speaker 2: towards her. What was that? That is favor, that is

5:51 Speaker 2: the favor of God upon your life. This is what

5:53 Speaker 2: I wanted understand. It can be thousands of people, but

5:56 Speaker 2: esther got special treatment. And that is the way I

5:59 Speaker 2: wanted to understand. And that even in the midst of

6:01 Speaker 2: thousands of people, even in the midst of a multitude,

6:04 Speaker 2: even if there are so many people trying for the

6:07 Speaker 2: same job, you can find that you know, the right.

6:10 Speaker 2: People will say, you know what, I'm impressed by you.

6:13 Speaker 2: I'm impressed by what you've got to offer. I'm impressed

6:17 Speaker 2: by your profile, I'm impressed by what you have achieved.

6:20 Speaker 2: I'm impressed by your personality. I don't understand how you

6:24 Speaker 2: can't put it on paper, you can't explain it, But

6:27 Speaker 2: that is the favor of God. And this evening I

6:29 Speaker 2: want this day, I want you to get this into

6:31 Speaker 2: your spirit. Guys, I want you to get this in

6:33 Speaker 2: your spirit. Then pray and say, Lord, help me to

6:36 Speaker 2: understand this with all my heart, with all my mind,

6:39 Speaker 2: with all my soul, to know that I have this

6:41 Speaker 2: special favor that helps me set about, this special favor

6:45 Speaker 2: that causes me to rise, this special favor that causes

6:48 Speaker 2: the right people to like me. And I know that

6:51 Speaker 2: the right divine connections will cause me to step into

6:55 Speaker 2: the fullness of my destiny. In Jesus Mighty Name, I

6:58 Speaker 2: really encourage you to stay for the next couple of

7:01 Speaker 2: days as we learn more things about the fear of God,

7:03 Speaker 2: and I believe that these sermons would be such a

7:05 Speaker 2: great blessing. In Jesus Mighty Name, gotcha you've.
