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

0:46 Speaker 2: Hey God, Mirischal, is such a joy for me to

0:48 Speaker 2: be with you today on this segment of the Field

0:50 Speaker 2: for the Soul with John Gift of podcast where I'm

0:52 Speaker 2: going to talk to you today on an important aspect

0:54 Speaker 2: to look at from the first miracle that Jesus ever

0:57 Speaker 2: performed in John chapter two when he turn water into

1:01 Speaker 2: wine at the wedding in Cana. Now, this is the

1:03 Speaker 2: same passage I spoke to you from yesterday where I

1:06 Speaker 2: told you an important lesson. I want you to go

1:08 Speaker 2: back and check because I believe that it's a very

1:11 Speaker 2: fundamental principle that you need to keep in mind before

1:13 Speaker 2: you ever take any initiative in your walk in this life,

1:17 Speaker 2: in any area of your life. And today I'm going

1:20 Speaker 2: to talk about one important aspect, which is the reason

1:24 Speaker 2: why I want to take this passage today. And it

1:26 Speaker 2: is worse eleven. It says this miracle is sign at

1:30 Speaker 2: Cana in Galilee was the very first time Jesus revealed

1:33 Speaker 2: his glory. Okay, now, this is the very first miracle

1:37 Speaker 2: Jesus ever performed. Right, Jesus has never performed a miracle before.

1:41 Speaker 2: Every other miracle adds something to look back and say,

1:44 Speaker 2: Jesus has done this miracle, so maybe he can do

1:47 Speaker 2: a miracle in this area. Maybe somebody is getting healed,

1:50 Speaker 2: they can say, oh, somebody else got healed, so maybe

1:52 Speaker 2: Jesus can heal this person. Or even if Jesus is

1:56 Speaker 2: going to perform the very second miracle, they can still say, yes,

1:59 Speaker 2: Jesus is done a miracle before, like he turned what

2:02 Speaker 2: it into wine, So there was always something to look

2:04 Speaker 2: back for every other miracle. But this was the very

2:08 Speaker 2: first time Jesus ever performed a miracle. There was no

2:12 Speaker 2: other miracle he performed as a human when you walked

2:15 Speaker 2: on earth prior to this. So the question I want

2:18 Speaker 2: to talk about is when you see that the water, sorry,

2:21 Speaker 2: the wine ran out. The Bible says Jesus's mother told

2:25 Speaker 2: him they have no more wine. When you look at

2:27 Speaker 2: us three. Now think about this for a minute, right now.

2:32 Speaker 2: Every other miracle had something to look back and say, Jesus,

2:36 Speaker 2: I know you can do miracles. You have done this

2:38 Speaker 2: miracle before. Can you do something about it? Every other

2:40 Speaker 2: miracle had something to go back to, but this one

2:43 Speaker 2: had nothing to go back to because Jesus has never

2:46 Speaker 2: performed a miracle before. But my question comes down to

2:49 Speaker 2: this that when the wine ran out, why or what

2:52 Speaker 2: made Mary to come and tell Jesus that the wine

2:55 Speaker 2: ran out. Was it just because she was curious or

2:58 Speaker 2: in the sense of like, you know, let's see what

3:00 Speaker 2: they're about to do. Or do you think it's just

3:03 Speaker 2: because she's trying to like, you know, have this sarcastic

3:07 Speaker 2: or like passing commons. You know, they didn't even plan

3:11 Speaker 2: this wedding properly, look at this wine the wine has

3:14 Speaker 2: run out, or maybe just upset about what happened, like, oh,

3:18 Speaker 2: you know, the wine ran out, But can you just

3:21 Speaker 2: trying to understand what was going through Mary's mind when

3:25 Speaker 2: she told Jesus, Like, do you think she was like

3:27 Speaker 2: expecting him to do a miracle or was it because

3:30 Speaker 2: he was just passing in information. You get what I'm saying.

3:33 Speaker 2: It's an important thing to think about why, because in

3:36 Speaker 2: your life you may be saying, John, I know God

3:39 Speaker 2: can do miracles. I know God can turn things around.

3:41 Speaker 2: He is part of the Red Sea. I know he

3:43 Speaker 2: is brought down the walls of Jericho. He has made

3:46 Speaker 2: Daniel be safe in alliance. Then he made the three

3:49 Speaker 2: Hebrew children to come out safe from the fire. I

3:52 Speaker 2: know all of these miracles in the scripture are true.

3:54 Speaker 2: I believe it. But in my life right now, I

3:58 Speaker 2: know God has taken care of me, has met me

4:01 Speaker 2: before in in the normal course of life. But I've

4:05 Speaker 2: never seen any wow miracle in my life. And what

4:08 Speaker 2: I need right now in my life is a wow miracle.

4:11 Speaker 2: Like maybe in some area you need the hand of

4:15 Speaker 2: God to do something. Maybe there is some area in

4:17 Speaker 2: your life you're saying, you know what, I've extinguished all

4:20 Speaker 2: my natural you know, possibilities or natural resources or natural

4:28 Speaker 2: you know, like things that I can do in the

4:30 Speaker 2: natural right like I distinguished all these possibilities, all these options,

4:36 Speaker 2: and I don't have anything else right now. Only a

4:39 Speaker 2: miracle from the hand of God can help me. And

4:42 Speaker 2: I'm not seeing God do such a miracle in my

4:44 Speaker 2: life before. You may be saying that. But yes, the thing,

4:48 Speaker 2: if you're saying like you've not seen God do a

4:50 Speaker 2: miracle like that before and you're expecting a first time

4:53 Speaker 2: wow miracle from God, this is a word for you.

4:56 Speaker 2: This is a word for you because I want you

4:57 Speaker 2: to understand. You have to think about this. What made

5:01 Speaker 2: Mary come and tell Jesus. Was she expecting Jesus to

5:04 Speaker 2: do a miracle or not? Now think about this. You

5:07 Speaker 2: may be saying right now, I was I extinguished all

5:12 Speaker 2: my possibilities and capabilities. You know, I've gone to every

5:16 Speaker 2: person who can help me. Right now, I need the

5:18 Speaker 2: miracle from God and I've not seen God do a

5:21 Speaker 2: miracle like this before. Can I tell you something, It's

5:25 Speaker 2: a possibility. When you look at Mary. Maybe Maye knew

5:28 Speaker 2: that Jesus was called for greatness because she already knew.

5:30 Speaker 2: She saw what happened when Jesus was born, She heard

5:34 Speaker 2: what was told of Jesus, you know, like through through

5:38 Speaker 2: all the accounts told by the wise men, the shepherds,

5:43 Speaker 2: or even when you know, when they brought Jesus to

5:46 Speaker 2: the temple to you know, be prayed over the prophet,

5:52 Speaker 2: and prophet is who came and prophesied over Jesus and

5:55 Speaker 2: told great things about what was going to happen. So

5:58 Speaker 2: maybe knew something was in store. Maybe just maybe she

6:02 Speaker 2: was working with that expectation each time, saying, maybe today's

6:06 Speaker 2: today he is going to do that miracle, or he's

6:09 Speaker 2: going to start doing miracles. Maybe today is going to

6:12 Speaker 2: be that day when he's going to you know, like

6:15 Speaker 2: walk in that new dimension that was prophesied over him,

6:18 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, maybe Mary was constantly

6:22 Speaker 2: walking with that expectation and that's why she shared it

6:24 Speaker 2: to Jesus, hoping that maybe today he could start doing

6:30 Speaker 2: his miracles. I know, he's not done this for so

6:32 Speaker 2: many years. I know, he's been like an ordinary person

6:36 Speaker 2: for so long, just being a carpenter's son. But maybe

6:39 Speaker 2: just maybe today could be that day for him to

6:42 Speaker 2: start doing miracles. Maybe she was working with that expectation

6:46 Speaker 2: all along. Today, I challenge you, if you're in a miracle,

6:50 Speaker 2: desperate situation. You know, instead of saying like, oh, it

6:53 Speaker 2: has never happened before, it can never happen. I want

6:55 Speaker 2: you to have this attitude that maybe just today can

6:59 Speaker 2: be that miracle working day. Maybe today is going to

7:03 Speaker 2: be different for you. Maybe today God is going to

7:05 Speaker 2: show up differently. Maybe today it's going to be that

7:10 Speaker 2: wah moment that you never expected and it's going to

7:13 Speaker 2: happen in a way that's going to exceed your expectations.

7:17 Speaker 2: So I want you to always expect the unexpected and

7:21 Speaker 2: always walk with that attitude of expectation, you know, instead

7:27 Speaker 2: of thinking it's never going to happen, it's never going

7:29 Speaker 2: to happen, or you know, this is my lot in life.

7:31 Speaker 2: Why don't you always like even if you've been disappointed before,

7:34 Speaker 2: maybe maybe would have been disappointed that Jesus didn't any

7:37 Speaker 2: do any miracle before this. Maybe we don't know, but

7:41 Speaker 2: here's the point. Whatever, beit, this is a moment for

7:45 Speaker 2: Mary to still come back and say, here's the situation,

7:49 Speaker 2: let me see if you're going to do something about it.

7:51 Speaker 2: So today my challenge is walk with that kind of

7:54 Speaker 2: an expectation with your walk with the Lord always because

7:58 Speaker 2: you never know when God is going to do that

8:01 Speaker 2: kind of a miracle. Maybe it's not done like that

8:03 Speaker 2: before for you. You expected hope and all of that,

8:06 Speaker 2: but it does not happen. It's okay, Today's a new day.

8:10 Speaker 2: Always have that fresh aspect or a fresh perspective, a

8:13 Speaker 2: fresh level of expectation that maybe today God could do

8:18 Speaker 2: that in my life. Today, God would do it if

8:21 Speaker 2: it is his will, and at any time He could

8:24 Speaker 2: suddenly intervene and change the trajectory of my life. If

8:27 Speaker 2: you believe it. I want you to share this with

8:29 Speaker 2: someone and encourage him today. And men, God bless you.
