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. 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 scientist. He said to God, we've decided we no longer need you. We can clone people, transplant hearts, do all kinds of things once considered miraculous.

God said, fine, but to prove you don't need me, let's have a man-making contest. The only requirement is you have to make man out of dirt.

The scientist said great and reached down to pick up a handful of dirt. God said not so fast, go get your own dirt.

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 change your name. It's easy to go through life, letting people put names on us. Things like average, unqualified, poor, addicted.

Sometimes our own thoughts have named us, not talented, not good enough, unattractive.

As long as we're wearing these names, believe in the lies that people and circumstances have told us, it's going to keep us from our potential.

You have to change your name. I'm not talking about on your birth certificate, I'm talking about in your mind.

Who do you believe you are? How do you see yourself? When God breathed life into you, He named you blessed, prosperous, talented, one of a kind.

He calls you a masterpiece. People will call you average, ordinary, nothing special. If you accept those names, you'll be average, ordinary, nothing special.

What's holding many people back is they have the wrong name. A man was walking down a busy street in Thailand. He came upon this tattoo shop.

In the window, there were many of the tattoos they offered. One said, born to lose. He couldn't believe anyone would have that tattooed on them.

The owner came up, they struck up a conversation. He asked the owner, if anyone ever got the born to lose tattoo. The owner nodded his head yes and said in broken English, before tattooed on body, tattooed on mind.

He's exactly right. If you accept the name in your mind, if you believe negative things people have spoken over you, if you let life name you, you're giving it the right to come to pass.

In your mind, is your name born to lose or born to win? Is your name poor, broke, defeated, or is your name blessed, prosperous, more than enough?

Have you let life name you addicted, struggling, limited? Or do you go by what God names you? Free, whole, victorious, overcomer.

Anything to tell in you otherwise, you need to change those names. In the scripture, Jacob's wife Rachel died while giving birth to their second son.
