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. It's always a joy to come into your homes. We love you and we know God rewards the people that seek after Him. That's you or you wouldn't attuned in or you wouldn't have come out today.

So thank you so much. If you're ever in our area, stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you it will make you feel right at home.

But again, thank you all for coming out today. I like to start with something funny each week. I heard about this cat and mouse that died on the same day and went to heaven.

After a couple of weeks, Saint Peter saw the mouse and said, hey, how do you like it so far? The mouse said it's great, but it's so big, I'd love to have a pair of roller skates.

Peter said, no problem. Got him the skate. A few weeks later, Peter saw the cat and asked him how he liked it. The cat said, Peter, it's fantastic.

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I discovered the meals on wheels.

All right. Hold up your Bible. 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 glad continually. We all have opportunities to lose our joy and go around discouraged.

But God never intended for us to endure life. He created us to enjoy life. And we prepare for victory or defeat at the very start of the day.

When you get up in the morning, you have to set your mind in the right direction. You may feel discouraged. You may feel the blouse thinking, I don't want to go to work today.

I don't want to deal with these children. I have got so many problems. If you make the mistake of dwelling on those thoughts, then you are preparing for a lousy day.

You are using your faith in the wrong direction. You need to turn it around and say this is going to be a great day. Something good is going to happen to me.

God has favor in my future. I am expecting new opportunities, divine connections, supernatural breakthroughs. You know what you just did? You prepared for victory.

Prepared for increase. Prepared for restoration. God says to the angels, did you hear that? They are expecting my goodness. They are expecting to prosper in spite of the economy.

They are expecting to get well in spite of the medical report. They are expecting to accomplish their dreams even though they don't have the resources right now.

When you start the day off like that in faith, God tells the angels, go to work. Arrange things in their favor. Give them breaks. Line up the right people. Open up the right doors.

That is what allows God to show up and show up in unusual ways. Some of you today would see a major improvement in your life if you would make this minor adjustment.

You would not only have more energy, a better attitude, be more productive, but you would see new doors open. You would meet new friends.
