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.

God bless you. It's great to be with you today.

I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

And you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

I'd like to start with something funny and I heard about this man he called the church office and said,

I want to speak to the head hog at the trough. The secretary was offended.

She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to have to call him pastor, but you may not call him the head hog at the trough.

He said, well fine, but I was thinking about making a $5,000 donation to your church.

She said, hang on, porky, just walked in. 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 talked 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 choosing a good mood. God created us as emotional beings.

We can all feel things. We feel joy, excitement, passion, and we can feel sadness, sorrow, discouragement.

Feelings come to us all. But here's the key. Feelings don't always tell us the truth.

Feelings are not facts. When you wake up in the morning, you can feel gloom, despair, nothing good in your future.

Then you get a cup of coffee and you feel great. You're back to normal. Feelings can change on a dime.

The mistake we make is we let feelings determine our mood. We wake up and think, how do I feel today?

If we feel the flaws, then we go around discourage. We get stuck in traffic. I feel upset.

Someone is rude to us. I feel offended. We have a bad break. I feel self-pity.
