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 Solo John gift of podcast. And is such a

0:50 Speaker 2: joint honor for me to be with you today as

0:52 Speaker 2: I want to talk about something and I want to

0:54 Speaker 2: really encourage you that if you're in a season where

0:57 Speaker 2: you feel like John, my life feels like everything is

1:00 Speaker 2: a mess, nothing seems to make any sense. I feel like,

1:03 Speaker 2: you know, things were much better laid up in the

1:06 Speaker 2: past for me, but right now everything is just out

1:09 Speaker 2: of control. Nothing is working out, nothing seems to be

1:12 Speaker 2: making sense, and I really do not know what is

1:15 Speaker 2: going on. If there's one phrase I want you to

1:17 Speaker 2: take away from this is that no matter what your

1:21 Speaker 2: life looks like right now, no matter whether you're in

1:25 Speaker 2: a mess because of just circumstance happening that way, life

1:28 Speaker 2: happening that way, or because of somebody else's mistake, or

1:32 Speaker 2: because of your own mistakes, I want to let you

1:34 Speaker 2: know that God still has a plan for your life.

1:37 Speaker 2: God still has a purpose for your life, and his

1:40 Speaker 2: plans for you are not to make your life miserable,

1:44 Speaker 2: but his plans for you are for good. And He

1:47 Speaker 2: still has a way to use everything, both good and bad,

1:51 Speaker 2: the things that happen because of life happening, or the

1:54 Speaker 2: things that happen because of what you did. But I

1:57 Speaker 2: want to tell you something today that God's still has

2:01 Speaker 2: a plan for your life. Now, I want to talk

2:04 Speaker 2: about something very very important here. When you look at

2:08 Speaker 2: Exodus chapter three, there's a quick thing I want to

2:10 Speaker 2: remind you that Moses is in a place if you

2:13 Speaker 2: see in the chapter one sorry, in chapter three, verse one,

2:16 Speaker 2: it says one day Moses was tending the flock of

2:20 Speaker 2: his father in law Jetro, and he led the flock

2:25 Speaker 2: far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the Mountain

2:28 Speaker 2: of God. Okay, But I want you to understand something here.

2:32 Speaker 2: Moses grew up in the Palace. Moses grew up in

2:36 Speaker 2: the most powerful nation in the world of that time,

2:38 Speaker 2: that was Egypt. He was in Egypt, which is the

2:41 Speaker 2: powerful nation like how today, for instance, if you look

2:44 Speaker 2: at something like the United States of America, how it's

2:47 Speaker 2: in terms of the power and in terms of the

2:52 Speaker 2: position and the dominance that it holds. Egypt was like that.

2:57 Speaker 2: Moses grew up in that kind of a place. Or

3:00 Speaker 2: if I were to give you a different example to

3:03 Speaker 2: understand royalty, it would be something like the United Kingdom.

3:08 Speaker 2: How you have the monarch and you have you know,

3:11 Speaker 2: somebody in the royal family, like growing up in the

3:14 Speaker 2: royal family of UK. How much of power, how much

3:21 Speaker 2: of prominence, and what kind of a lifestyle they would

3:24 Speaker 2: be having. This is the life that Moses grew up with.

3:30 Speaker 2: But I wanted to understand here is a place where Moses, Moses,

3:36 Speaker 2: because he murders someone, and understand something. He didn't murder

3:41 Speaker 2: because he was intentionally murdering. He murdered just because he

3:45 Speaker 2: wanted to do the right thing. Ended up doing the

3:47 Speaker 2: wrong thing. He ended up murdering someone and he had

3:49 Speaker 2: to run for his life. He's a fugitive. And here's

3:53 Speaker 2: the thing I wanted to understand. Here is a moment

3:55 Speaker 2: where it says that, okay, he is a shepherd is

3:58 Speaker 2: one thing, but he'd say is that he was tending

4:01 Speaker 2: the flock of his father in law. Think about this.

4:04 Speaker 2: Even the flock did not belong to him. He did

4:07 Speaker 2: not even own the sheep that he was tending. It

4:12 Speaker 2: was literally like out into nothing, you know. One of

4:15 Speaker 2: the translations says, he's into the backside of the wilderness.

4:19 Speaker 2: The wilderness itself is bad. On top of that, he

4:21 Speaker 2: is in the backside, far side of the wilderness. I

4:25 Speaker 2: don't know who I'm talking to, but some of you

4:26 Speaker 2: are in a place in your life where you feel,

4:28 Speaker 2: like John, it's because of my mistake. I should have

4:31 Speaker 2: done this, or I didn't do this because it's all

4:33 Speaker 2: about me, or maybe life just happened it was just

4:36 Speaker 2: unfair to you. And you're saying, John, everything was going

4:38 Speaker 2: good in my life and now everything is upside down.

4:42 Speaker 2: I don't understand what is going on. Maybe, just like Moses,

4:46 Speaker 2: who had a very comfortable beginning, where he was in

4:49 Speaker 2: the elite, he was in the prominence, He was in

4:52 Speaker 2: a place where everything was comfortable. And now here he

4:55 Speaker 2: is where he cannot own or he is not owning

4:58 Speaker 2: even a sheep from a place where he was the prince.

5:02 Speaker 2: Now he is one who is not even honing the

5:04 Speaker 2: sheep that he has to tend to think about this.

5:08 Speaker 2: Everything has come to nothing for him.

5:10 Speaker 1: Today.

5:11 Speaker 2: You may be feeling like that, like everything has come

5:13 Speaker 2: to nothing. You're in the wilderness where everything is dry,

5:17 Speaker 2: nothing is working out. You are in a place where

5:19 Speaker 2: you own nothing. You are a nobody. Nobody cares a

5:22 Speaker 2: damn about you, and people have forgotten you. You know,

5:25 Speaker 2: I'm here to announce to you. Even if people have forgotten, misunderstood,

5:28 Speaker 2: and never cared about you, there is a God who

5:31 Speaker 2: still cares for you. There is a God who still

5:34 Speaker 2: has a plan for you. There is a God who

5:36 Speaker 2: still has a purpose for your life. And today I

5:38 Speaker 2: wanted to remind you and encourage you that the same

5:41 Speaker 2: God who still intervened in Moses's life and said, I

5:45 Speaker 2: still have a plan and a purpose and an assignment

5:47 Speaker 2: for your life. And God took him from this mess

5:50 Speaker 2: that he was in and allowed him to be the

5:53 Speaker 2: one who delivered the people from a bondage towards the

5:57 Speaker 2: promised Land. I want to tell you that God your

6:00 Speaker 2: heart still has a unique plan and the purpose for

6:03 Speaker 2: your life. So today I want you to be encouraged.

6:06 Speaker 2: I want you to remember this and I want you

6:08 Speaker 2: to let this sink into your spirit that you're not

6:11 Speaker 2: here by accident. You're not just trying to make it

6:13 Speaker 2: through life. And you don't have to accept whatever happened

6:16 Speaker 2: as the lot in your life. But you can accept

6:18 Speaker 2: that you know what, God still has a plan and

6:20 Speaker 2: a purpose for you, and you can trust him, wait

6:23 Speaker 2: upon him, and He's going to do something marvelous in

6:26 Speaker 2: and through your life. If you believe. I want you

6:28 Speaker 2: to just share this with someone and encourage him and

6:31 Speaker 2: remind him that God still has a beautiful plan, purpose

6:37 Speaker 2: and assignment for their life. Amen. God bless you.
