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.

God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. We love you. 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. But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this wealthy man. He was known for being eccentric.

He's having a big party at his house and in his backyard he had a huge pool filled with alligators and sharks.

He said to the guests, anyone that will swim across my pool, I'll give you anything you want.

In a few minutes there was a big splash and a man was in there going 90 to nothing.

Dodging alligators, maneuvering around the sharks, he made it to the other side just in the nick of time and got out as frantic as convenient.

The wealthy man said, I can't believe it. You're the bravest person I've ever met. Now what is it that you'd want?

The man said, what I want more than anything else is the name of the person that pushed me in.

Hold up your bibles and 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 selective with what you feed yourself.

Our ears and our eyes are the gates to our soul. What we watch, what we listen to, who we associate with, that's constantly feeding us.

You've heard the saying, you are what you eat. If you eat junk food all the time, twinkies, sodas, candy bars, you're not going to be very healthy.

Why? You're feeding yourself the wrong things. In the same way, if you're watching things that are unhosen,

listening to things that are dragging you down, hanging around people that gossip, then because you're feeding your inner man junk food,

you're not going to be as strong and become all that God's created you to be. You have to be extremely careful as to what you take in.

Today more than ever, we have opportunity to feed on wrong things. There are over 500 channels on television.
