Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed 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. The part of one of our services, our promise will 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 man, 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 plan 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.
