Well, God bless you. It's always 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.

But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out. I like to start with something funny and I heard about this minister that died.

He was standing in line at the pearly gates. The man in front of him was dressed in a loud t-shirt, sunglasses and blue jeans.

St. Peter asked him what's your name. He said, I'm Joe Cohen, Taxi cab driver, New York City. Peter checked his list and handed him a gold staff, Silk Robe said, welcome to heaven.

The minister stepped up. He said, I'm Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of St. Mary's Cathedral. Peter checked his list, handed him a wooden staff and cotton robe. He said, hey, that's not right. The Taxi cab driver got a gold staff and this is all I got.

Peter said, sir, up here we work by results when you preached people slept, but when he drove people prayed.

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 generational blessings. Every right choice you make, you're making it easier on those that come after you.

When you live a life of excellence and integrity, being your best, helping others, those are seeds that will not only make your life fuller and more rewarding, but your children and grandchildren will be better off because of the way you live.

No person lives or dies under himself. The choices you are making will affect your family line for generations to come.

Now I want my relatives to do great things in life because of me, not in spite of me. Our children have enough things to overcome without having to deal with our negative baggage.

Your life can either be a stepping stone for your family to go higher or a stumbling block that causes them to struggle.

Negative things may have been passed down to you, but God raised you up to put it into it. You can be a difference maker.

We hear a lot about the generational curse, but there's something called a generational blessing.

The scripture talks about how you can store up mercy for your children and future generations.

I know I am where I am today, in part, because of the way my parents and grandparents have lived.

I am reaping a harvest from seeds that they sowed.

Met a man a while back and he told how as a young man, he had lost his way in life. He was living on the streets downtown.
