Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Thanks for listening to the podcast, and we want to tell you how much we love you.

Trusting you're going to have a blessed Christmas season with you and your family.

Know that we pray for you every day, just speaking God's blessings and favor.

We love you.

We are praying for you, and we hope you have a very merry Christmas.

Enjoy the podcast today.

Well, God bless you, for joy to come into your homes. If you're ever in the Houston area,

I hope that you'll stop by, take a look at our new facility, be a part of one of our services.

I can tell you this, it's better in person than it is on TV. And we'd love to have you.

I like to start with something funny each week,

and this has no spiritual value whatsoever, but I thought I'd tell it.

A group of people were coming down this real crowded elevator,

and they were packed in there like sardines, and it was hot and stuffy. And on top of that,

something smelled really, really bad. And this one lady, she had finally had enough and she said,

well, we can certainly tell somebody's deodorant is not working today.

Guy in the corner spoke up and said, couldn't be mine, lady. I'm not wearing any.

All right. Hold your bibles up. Say it like you mean it. Ready? 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.

We've been talking about expecting good things and how important it is that we keep our hopes up.

Hope is called the anchor of our souls.
