Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks for supporting

the ministry. We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive, and favor-filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message. Well, God bless you. It is always our joy to come into your homes.

We may not know you by name, but we believe

you're a part of our extended family. We're believing that this is going to be the best year of

your life. I know that God rewards the people that seek after him, and that's you or you

wouldn't be watching today. If you're ever in our area, you've got to stop by and see us. We'd love

to have you be a part of one of our services.

I tell you often these are the finest people in all of Houston right here at Lakewood,

so come out and see you sometime. I like to get started each week with something kind of funny.

And one day Adam was talking to God and he said, God, why did you make Eve so beautiful?

God said, so you would love her. He said, why did you give her such long, flowing hair? Same thing, so you would love her. Why did you give her such a great figure? Said it again, so you would love her. He said, all right, God, tell me this, you made her so beautiful, so attractive. Why did you make her so dumb? God said said that's easy, Adam, so she would love you.

All right, hold up your Bibles, 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.

I am about to receive the incorruptible,

indestructible, ever-living seed of the Word of God.

I will never be the same, never, never, never, I'll never be the same in Jesus' name.
