Summary
Is your natural ambition actually a whisper from GOD? Welcome to the final installment of our series, "The Call of GOD: Walking in GOD's Will." Today, John Giftah explores a deep truth from Genesis 11 and 12: Why did Abraham’s father, Terah—a man without a call or faith—move toward the same Promised Land that GOD later gave to Abraham? In this episode, John explains the "Natural Instinct" principle. We often think our personal desires are separate from God’s will, but John challenges us to see how GOD uses our natural drives as guideposts. However, there is a catch: Terah started the journey but stopped in Haran. Only Abraham, through faith and a direct call, actually reached Canaan. What you’ll learn in this episode: The Terah Principle: Why following natural instinct alone isn't enough to reach the goal. How to identify the "Canaan" in your own life that you’ve been drawn to since childhood. Why some non-believers seem more successful because they follow their "region of promise." The secret to "marrying" your natural drive with GOD's supernatural power. John’s childhood stories of writing and media that became his ultimate calling. Key Scripture: "Terah took his son Abram... and they headed for the land of Canaan. But they stopped at Haran and settled there." — Genesis 11:31 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fuel-for-the-soul-with-john-giftah-biblical-teaching-faith-podcast--4939473/support .
