Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Well, God bless you to joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I like to start with something funny and

I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She was teaching her students about self-esteem.

And she said to the class, anyone that felt dumb, she asked them to stand up. She didn't think anybody'd

stand. She'd make the point how no one is dumb. But about that time, little Johnny stood up.

She thought, oh, no, now what am I going to do? She said, now, Johnny, do you really feel like you're

dumb? He said, no, ma'am, I just hate to see you standing there all by yourself.

Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess,

my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same.

in Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about being a barrier breaker.

So often we let our environment, how we were raised, people's expectations of us set the limits for our life.

We adapt to what's around us. If you take an oak tree seed and plant it in a two-foot

pot, that oak tree will never become what it was created to be. Not because there's something

wrong with the seed, but because of the environment

that it's in. It's easy to just fit in, go with the crowd, be like everyone else. But God didn't

create you to be average. He created you to stand out, to go beyond the norm, to leave your mark on this generation.
