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's always a joy to come into your

homes. We love you and we know God has great things in store.

If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. Thanks so much for coming out today.

And I like to start with something funny each week, and you know, these are not all doctrinally correct, especially

today, but I heard about

this middle-aged woman. She had a heart

attack and on the operating table

she asked God if this was it.

God said no, you have 40 more

years. Upon recovery, she decided to stay in the

hospital, have a major facelift,

a tummy tuck, liposuction, an extreme

makeover. Two months later, as she was leaving the hospital, she got hit by a car and killed.

She got to heaven and said, God, I thought you said, I had 40 more years. God said, I'm sorry,

I didn't recognize you. All right. Hold up your Bible. 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 not

living for approval. Too many people get their worth and value out of what other people think.
