Hi, this is Joel and 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.

It says in Matthew 5.9, this is what Jesus said.

He said, blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons and daughters of God.

It doesn't say blessed are the people who can control the situation and make it go their way.

It doesn't say blessed are the ones who are right all the time.

It says those who are willing to be

peacemakers can walk in the blessings of God. See, that's the key right there. What are we willing to do?

See, are we willing to let other people be right, even when we know they're wrong?

For the sake of peace?

See, there's got to be a willingness to make peace and maintain peace to walk in the place of blessings.

One time, Joel and I were at this event, and we didn't know

everyone at the event, but we knew a few people, and this gentleman came walking up to Joel

and I, and he began to speak to us. And I noticed as the conversation, his passion became a little

more intense. He began talking more to Joel than myself. And so I was watching

this and listening and he just had a conviction, he had an idea, and he was trying to persuade Joel

to, you know, believe the same thing that he believed. And so he's getting passionate about this

and just he's talking and talking.
