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.

Well, God bless you.

It's always a joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area,

please stop by and be a part of one of our services. These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. We'll make you feel right at home. But thank you for tuning in. And thank you again for coming out today. And I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this minister. 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, whoa, it would quickly stop. One day he

was out riding, the horse got spooked and took off straight toward the

cliff, running full speed. In the panic, he couldn't remember what he trained the horse to respond to.

He said, bless God, glory, amen, nothing happened. At the last second, he shouted, hallelujah.

The horse came to a screeching halt just inches before the edge of the cliff.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, praise the Lord.

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.
