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

If you enjoy 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 and thanks so much for letting us come into your homes.

We are praying for you and your family for God's very best. I like to start

with something funny. I heard about this pastor. He bought a new horse. He trained it to respond to

praise the Lord, meaning giddy up, and hallelujah, meaning woe. Every time he said, praise the

Lord, the horse took off running. When he said, hallelujah, it would

quickly stop. One day he was out riding. The horse got spooked, took off running straight toward a

cliff, going full blast. In the panic, he couldn't remember what he'd taught the horse. He said,

bless God, glory, amen, amen nothing happened at the last moment

he shouted hallelujah and the horse came to a screeching halt just inches before the edge of the

cliff he breathed the sigh of relief and said praise the Lord 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 blessing yourself.

We hear a lot about blessing others, being good to friends, complimenting a family

member, helping a neighbor.

That's all good.

We should bless others, but it's also important to bless yourself.
