## Resource

When you are busy doing the next thing GOD has called you to do, you will no longer grieve what you lost in the previous season. In this concluding message of the emotional healing series, John Giftah unpacks the final part of 1 Samuel 16:1, where GOD shifts Samuel’s focus from mourning Saul to anointing the next king: "I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem." It’s natural to grieve, but unchannelized emotional energy will keep you trapped in bitterness, depression, and past memories. When you allow the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you clarity, GOD provides a brand-new assignment that heals your heart and propels you forward. 🔥 Key Takeaways in this Episode: Channelizing Emotional Energy: Why idle emotional pain creates mental havoc, and how channeling it into GOD's purpose brings freedom. GOD’s Next Instruction: Recognizing that GOD has already prepared your next season, job, relationship, or purpose. The Way Out of Rock Bottom: Why hitting rock bottom means the only way left to go is up. Be Alert & Present: Stepping into Isaiah 43:18–19—leaving behind old history so you don't miss the new thing GOD is doing. 📖 Key Scripture: "The Lord said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.'" — 1 Samuel 16:1 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" — Isaiah 43:18–19 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fuel-for-the-soul-with-john-giftah-biblical-teaching-faith-podcast--4939473/support .
