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.

Thank you.

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 old country farmer.

He was taking his nephew camping for the first time. His nephew had five degrees and was one of the smartest men alive.

They set up their tent and quickly fell asleep. The middle of the night, the farmer woke up his nephew and said, look up.

What do you see? The nephew said, I see millions of stars.

The farmer said, I know that, but what does it tell you? He said astronomically, it tells me there are billions of galaxies.

Meteorologically, it tells me it's going to be a beautiful day. Theologically, it tells me God is a great creator.

What does it tell you? The whole farmer shook his head and said, it tells me somebody stole our tent.

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'll 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 coming out better.

We all go through disappointments and things we don't understand. Sometimes life is not fair.

It's one thing to come through a difficulty, beat up, be dragiled, where you look worn and tired.

We're grateful that we made it, but when God restores, you're not going to look like what you've been through.

Nobody is going to be able to tell that you went through the sickness, through the divorce, through the unfair childhood.

He's going to restore you back to your original condition, who you were created to be before the heartache, before the bad break.

Some people made it out, but they aged ten years. The challenge took so much out of them. They look run down, tired. That's not you.
