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 a joy to come into your homes. 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 mother.

She had two young boys that were known for their mischievous behavior.

Anytime trouble occurred, they were certain to be a part. She decided to take them one at a time to see their pastor.

The pastor said to the first young boy son, where is God? He sat there silently.

He asked again, where is God? Still no reply. The third time the pastor asked, the young boy bolted out the door, ran home and said to his brother, God is missing.

And they think we did it. 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 ease is coming. We all go through seasons of struggle when it feels like it is uphill.

There is pressure raising children. Maybe you are believing for your health to improve but it is not getting better.

Too often we get discouraged and think that is just the way life is.

In Matthew chapter 11, Jesus talked about how the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and you have to take it by force.

He was telling us there will be seasons where you have to stand strong and really fight the good fight of fame.

But a few verses later in the same chapter he said, my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

He was saying there will be times of struggle, pressure, difficulties but don't get discouraged. That is not permanent.

What I am putting on you, my yoke is easy. It is light. You may be struggling now. You feel pressured. You think that is the way it is always going to be.

You will always struggle with your health, struggle in a relationship, struggle in your finances. You will come into an anointing of ease.

When you come into this ease, what once was a struggle won't be a struggle anymore.

You will have a supernatural grace, a favor that will lighten the load and take the pressure off.
