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

0:44 Speaker 2: Gifta, Hellover One. Welcome to this edition of the Field

0:49 Speaker 2: for the Soul with John Gifta podcast. All through this

0:52 Speaker 2: week we are looking at various lessons we can take

0:54 Speaker 2: away from the incident recorded in Acts chip to twelve.

0:57 Speaker 2: One of the things I wanted to understand is that

1:00 Speaker 2: times we look at what is happening with life and

1:02 Speaker 2: we're thinking, this is all which is my lot in life.

1:05 Speaker 2: This is what has happened for somebody else in my

1:07 Speaker 2: family life, This is what is happening to everyone else

1:10 Speaker 2: in the community, neighborhood, or in my job circle. But

1:14 Speaker 2: I want you to understand the God we serve is

1:16 Speaker 2: a supernatural god. God doesn't just want us to live

1:19 Speaker 2: on mediocre, normal life. He wants to do amazing things

1:24 Speaker 2: which will exceed your expectations, so that by your life

1:28 Speaker 2: and your testimony, many more will be coming to know

1:32 Speaker 2: who our lot and say where Jesus Christ really is.

1:35 Speaker 1: See.

1:36 Speaker 2: One of the things I want to talk about from

1:38 Speaker 2: this incident is about how when Peter was in a

1:41 Speaker 2: place where he's about to be killed, just like the

1:43 Speaker 2: apostle James, there's a supernatural miracle that happens. And what

1:48 Speaker 2: really catches our attention is that when the miracle happened,

1:52 Speaker 2: Peter didn't even realize it was real. He thought it

1:55 Speaker 2: was a vision. And you look at verse eleven, it

1:57 Speaker 2: says that Peter finally came to his senses. It's really true.

2:03 Speaker 2: He said, the Lord has sent his angel and saved

2:06 Speaker 2: me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had

2:10 Speaker 2: planned to do to me. And verse tuelis says when

2:13 Speaker 2: he realized this, he went to the home of Mary.

2:17 Speaker 2: Now think about this, when the miracle was happening, he

2:19 Speaker 2: didn't even realize that he was in the midst of

2:21 Speaker 2: a miracle. He didn't realize he was encountering an angel.

2:25 Speaker 2: He didn't realize that he was in the midst of history.

2:29 Speaker 2: He didn't realize what was actually happening. What I want

2:31 Speaker 2: you to understand is, sometimes your life may look like

2:34 Speaker 2: nothing is happening. You may feel like you're just being pushed.

2:37 Speaker 2: You may feel like you're just going with the flow.

2:39 Speaker 2: You may feel like you're just going through life and

2:42 Speaker 2: nothing is special or different. You just feel like it's

2:45 Speaker 2: just a wild dream. Maybe some cases. But I want

2:48 Speaker 2: you to understand sometimes only when you come out, when

2:51 Speaker 2: you come to the other side, you look back and say,

2:53 Speaker 2: look what the Lord has done. This is not ordinary.

2:56 Speaker 2: This was a miracle. This door was actually a miracle.

3:00 Speaker 2: This opportunity was an answer from heaven. This person was

3:05 Speaker 2: not just randomly there. This person was a divine connection. See,

3:13 Speaker 2: I want you to think about this. He didn't even realize.

3:15 Speaker 2: Only after coming to his senses, and the Bible says

3:19 Speaker 2: then he realized what it was. And in fact, when

3:23 Speaker 2: he goes to their house, what happens is the believers

3:26 Speaker 2: are they're praying. The servant girl Roda, what happens She

3:29 Speaker 2: hears Peter's voice, and she goes and says, hey, it's Peter.

3:32 Speaker 2: See think about the excitement. She's like, we're praying for

3:36 Speaker 2: Peter's deliverance, and she's excited that she didn't even think

3:40 Speaker 2: of opening the door. And other people are not even believing.

3:43 Speaker 2: So what I wanted to understand here is that the

3:46 Speaker 2: miracle that God wants to do over your life is

3:49 Speaker 2: going to make people even question if it was real

3:52 Speaker 2: or not. He's going to be like that that's just

3:55 Speaker 2: too good to be true, man, Like I mean, come on,

3:57 Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen, Like it's an idea. They were

4:00 Speaker 2: praying for Peter, but they do not have the faith

4:03 Speaker 2: to believe when the answer was at the door. That's

4:06 Speaker 2: the way God wants to supernaturally show. Peter himself did

4:11 Speaker 2: not realize what was happening, and the people also did

4:14 Speaker 2: not realize when the miracle happened. What I want you

4:17 Speaker 2: to understand is that your life may feel like nothing

4:20 Speaker 2: is changing, nothing is happening, and just have to accept

4:23 Speaker 2: this is your lot in life. This is how it's

4:25 Speaker 2: always going to be. This is going to be your

4:27 Speaker 2: financial state, this is going to be your relationship status,

4:30 Speaker 2: this is going to be your career level. But I

4:32 Speaker 2: want you to understand the same way God supernaturally did

4:35 Speaker 2: the miracle for Peter when he didn't even realize he

4:38 Speaker 2: was getting a miracle, the way when the believers were praying,

4:41 Speaker 2: they didn't even believe when the answer was at the door.

4:45 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. God is going to exceed

4:47 Speaker 2: your expectations. God is going to go the extra mile.

4:51 Speaker 2: God is going to do something that is going to

4:54 Speaker 2: blow your mind. God is going to do something that

4:57 Speaker 2: you're going to say, this was nothing, d this was

5:01 Speaker 2: the hand of God. This was a move of God.

5:03 Speaker 2: This is a miracle from heaven. That's what God wants

5:08 Speaker 2: to do over your life. You may be looking at

5:10 Speaker 2: your life from the natural, but I want to tell

5:12 Speaker 2: you something. I want you to believe big. I want

5:15 Speaker 2: you to trust God. I want you to really take

5:17 Speaker 2: these scriptures. Don't just look at them as stories in

5:20 Speaker 2: the scripture, but say, God, if you did it for Peter,

5:22 Speaker 2: you're going to do it for John. If you do

5:25 Speaker 2: it for John, you're going to do it for me.

5:27 Speaker 2: You're going to do anything and everything so that not

5:31 Speaker 2: for me, but so that my life will be a

5:34 Speaker 2: testament to who you are. When Peter was delivered, it

5:41 Speaker 2: was not just about Peter going and saying, guys, I

5:44 Speaker 2: was rescued, But Peter being delivered was because after that

5:48 Speaker 2: he was able to bring so many souls into the kingdom.

5:52 Speaker 2: I want you to understand your miracle is just not

5:54 Speaker 2: about you. The miracle is not just about you going

5:57 Speaker 2: and trumpeting and saying, see, I got this miracle. The

6:01 Speaker 2: miracle is for you to go and continue to do

6:06 Speaker 2: the work that will help the kingdom to be enhanced.

6:12 Speaker 2: God wants to use you to be a blessing. God

6:15 Speaker 2: wants to use you, your position, your financial state, your

6:21 Speaker 2: influence to bring in souls into the world. Today. I

6:28 Speaker 2: want to pray in Jesus' name that this world will

6:31 Speaker 2: go forth and challenge you in your work to understand

6:35 Speaker 2: the depth of what God wants to do, that he

6:38 Speaker 2: wants to exceed expectations. And when he does the miracle

6:42 Speaker 2: in your life, even you won't realize the miracle. When

6:46 Speaker 2: He does the miracle in your life, even the people

6:48 Speaker 2: who are close to you, who are praying and having

6:51 Speaker 2: good intentions towards you, will actually question and say, are

6:54 Speaker 2: you sure that's a miracle or are you getting scammed

6:58 Speaker 2: or is it just something like a skip of the enemy.

7:02 Speaker 2: That's the way God is going to blow your mind.

7:05 Speaker 2: And I want to pray and release in Jesus name,

7:07 Speaker 2: if you're praying for a miracle or breakthrough, that this

7:09 Speaker 2: world will go forth and challenge you and strengthen you

7:12 Speaker 2: in that place and you will come back with a

7:15 Speaker 2: amazing testimony of how God delivered you so that you

7:19 Speaker 2: can fulfill the purpose that He has and stuff for you.

7:22 Speaker 2: I really challenge you to leave a comment if you're
