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

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,

reach 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

commanded to be blessed. When we honor God with our lives, we do our best to keep

him first place. The scripture says God will command his blessing to come on you.

When God commands, it's not maybe it'll happen. I hope it happens. If the

circumstances come together, no, when God commands, there's no ifs, ends, or buts

is going to happen. When God said let there be light, the earth was dark without

form like a black hole. God didn't check the circumstances to see if light was

possible. He didn't have experts analyze it to see if they thought it could

happen. He simply spoke. When he commanded light, it came at 186,000 miles per

second. When God commands you to be blessed, he doesn't check what family you come from,

where you work, who likes you, how good the economy is, none of that matters to God.
