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 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. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

I like to start with something funny and I heard about this man.

He was driving through an intersection that was monitored by cameras.

If you ran the light or broke the law in any way, it would take your picture and you'd receive a ticket in the mail.

So he made sure to go through it extra slowly, not breaking the laws, but he noticed the camera flash, took his picture.

He thought that's not right. He turned around and drove through it again even more slowly.

Once again, it took his picture. He thought this thing is messed up.

They cannot give me a ticket. Out of spite, he drove through it three more times.

Each time, waving at the camera with a big smile, a week later, he received five tickets in the mail for not wearing his seat belt.

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'll never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about called into the house.

Sometimes we're doing the right thing, but it doesn't seem like it's making a difference.

We're being our best, honoring God, but we're not making much progress, not getting good breaks.

Our dreams aren't coming to pass. It seems like we're being overlooked.

It's easy to get discouraged and think God must have forgotten about us.
