0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Hey,

0:53 are you in a place in your life where you're so worried about your future?

0:56 Wats in store? Maybe you're dealing with something really big, John,

1:00 This obstacle is so big, this mountain is so huge. I don't know

1:03 how I'm ever going to make it. Maybe you're having sleepless nights. Maybe

1:07 you don't have any idea how you're even going to pay your bills this month.

1:11 Maybe you're in a place where you're saying, John, I'm so desperate.

1:15 I really need God to make a move. I don't know where God

1:17 is. I don't know what is happening with my life. Well, if

1:19 that describes you, I want you to stay tuned because I believe that this

1:23 is going to be a powerful word that will encourage you. This is going

1:26 to be a powerful word that will help you in your time of need right

1:30 now in your life as well. I want to tell you something very important.

1:34 Guys. You know, one of the scriptures that really came into my

1:37 spirit with regard to this is found in Isaiah forty two, verse two.

1:42 And I'm reading to you from the n IVY version, and this is what

1:45 it says where God is speaking, and this is what God is saying,

1:49 I will go before you and will level the mountains. Listen to this carefully.

1:53 I will go before you and level the mountains. If you look at

1:57 this is different translations, like the Enlty, it says this is what the

2:00 Lord says, I will go before you and level the mountains. It's very

2:06 very clear that it's not just some random worst but it is the Lord who's

2:09 giving this word. The Lord is saying to you, I will go before

2:15 you and level the mountains. Now, different translations are talking on the same

2:20 lines that God is going before you and leveling the mountains. The minute I

2:23 saw this, I was reminded of one of the important things that I really

2:29 love and I enjoy is to know more about Mount Everest, people climbing Mount

2:34 Everest. I have done a lot of studies on Mount Everest. It's my

2:37 desire maybe some day to go to the Everest or something like that, maybe

2:42 at least the base camp or something. So I've studied a lot of things.

2:45 I've watched a lot of documentaries, and this is what I want you

2:46 to understand. When you think about going to Mount Everest. You don't just

2:52 randomly go to the top, Okay, if you have to understand something here.

2:57 There are some local group of people called the shir Pass, the indigenous

3:02 group of people in that land in the Himalayan region who are called the shir

3:07 Pass. These shr Pass are experts in built in them mountaineering skills and the

3:15 ability and their body in itself can do really well in this high altitude.

3:20 They're used to it. That's what they're they're born to do, you know.

3:23 You know what I mean, they're the indigenous people of that area,

3:27 the shur Pass. You have to understand that all these mountaineers, they are

3:32 always led by these shur pass. Now, for example, when you say

3:37 Hillary and Tensing when they climb to the top of Mount Everest in nineteen fifty

3:40 three, you know Hillary was a mountaineer, but Tensing was a sherpa.

3:46 Okay. These sherpas are the people who have all the idea about climbing,

3:51 who have all the idea about fixing robes and like. For example, if

3:55 at that high altitude, if you can only go for a few minutes and

3:59 you need to catch your breath, these surpass are so good at this that

4:03 they can go for ten to fifteen minutes and they don't have to catch a

4:06 breath. You know what I mean. That's what I want you to understand.

4:09 They are accustomed to that environment. So what I want you to understand

4:14 is even when these surpass are available in the mountains, they go before the

4:20 mountaineers. They go ahead of the mountaineers. For example, when you're traveling

4:25 to the top of Mount Everest, they go to the base camp, then

4:28 they go to Camp one, camp to Camp three, Camp four, then

4:30 they go to Hillary Step and then South Summit, and eventually they go to

4:34 the summit. What I want you to understand, if the mountaineers are in

4:39 camp on. The Sherpas are already her Head in Camp two and Camp three,

4:44 making sure that everything was fine, making sure that the ropes were fixed,

4:49 the ropes were all in the proper way, or making sure there is

4:53 no unforeseen danger that they can foresee and say, you know there's some danger,

4:59 her head. What I want you to understand is the Sherpass go before

5:02 the mountaineers to make sure that everything is fine. And isn't that a parallel

5:08 to what the Bible is saying. The Bible is saying that God goes before

5:13 you and level the mountains. What I want you to understand is the same

5:16 way the Sherpass go before the mountaineers to ensure that the mountain is fine,

5:23 the pathway is proper, all the ropes are intact, to make sure there's

5:27 no danger. I want you to know that God is going before you.

5:30 He is going before you to level the mountains in front of you. He

5:34 is going before you to make your crooked paths straight. Is going before you

5:39 to make sure the right people are in and the wrong people are out.

5:42 Is going before you to bring the right provision your way. Is going before

5:46 you to make sure that there's no hidden agenda to keep you from fulfilling what

5:50 God has for you today. So I want you to be recessured. You're

5:55 not just going and climbing your life on your own. You're not climbing your

5:59 mountain of life on your own. God is going before you. God is

6:01 your sherper God is the one saying listen. You are worried about it.

6:06 You're worried about what's in store for you in Camp two. I're already there

6:11 in Camp two. I'm already there setting the ropes in order. I'm already

6:15 there to ensure that there's nothing that can take your life. That's the way

6:18 I want you to look at your life. You're not just making through life

6:23 on your own. God is already there. You're wondering about your tomorrow.

6:27 He's already there. You're wondering about your life one year from now. He's

6:31 already there. You're wondering what you're going to do after five years. He's

6:34 already there. We're wondering how you're going to make it to the end of

6:38 your life. He's already there. What I want you to know is,

6:42 no matter what your life is in going in the direction that it's going.

6:46 God is already there and he's taking care of every foukeet path. Now you

6:50 may be in your life today, you're saying, John, what about the

6:55 challenges I'm facing today? Can I tell you something? You're facing the challenges

6:59 today, But even before the foundations of the world, God is already there

7:02 for today, making sure that he would meet your needs according to his riches

7:06 in glory. Even before you landed on planet third, he already set the

7:12 plan to make sure at the right time, the right doors will open,

7:15 the right people will step in, the right connections will come, the right

7:18 provisions will drain over you, the right things will come in so that you

7:23 will step in to the fullness of your destiny. So what may be a

7:26 surprise to you? What may be like something that you didn't expect. You're

7:30 like, oh my gosh, this is a challenge I didn't see coming.

7:33 Well, your sherpur God has already been there. He's already seen it.

7:39 He already took in account all of that, and he has set your life

7:44 in order. He has set the path for your life. And he is

7:46 saying, don't worry, I'm gone before you, and I'm making sure that

7:51 all the mountains are leveled as well. You've been listening to Fuel for This
