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

If you enjoy 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.

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

these are the finest people in all of houston texas right here at lakewood we'd love to have you

be a part but thanks for tuning in i like to start with something funny and i heard about this lady

that died and she was at the pearly gates st peter Peter said, you can't come in yet. You have to

correctly spell a word. She said, what word? He said any word. So she spelled the word love,

L-O-V-E. Peter said, welcome to heaven. Then Peter asked her if she would take his place for a

He said, I just had a heart attack. Did I really make it to heaven? She said, not yet. You have to correctly spell a word. He said, what word? There

was a long pause. She said, Czechoslovakia. 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 God is your source. It's easy to look to people as our source or look to our job as our source.

They are simply a resource that the source uses.

And if you're seeing other things than God as your

source, the problem is if something happens to them, you'll think, what am I going to do?

The source has been cut off. No, the source is just fine. God is still on the throne.

And the scripture says that every good gift comes from our

father in heaven above. That good gift may come through people, but it came from God. Your salary
