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.

For God bless you, always a joy to come into your homes and 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 it will make you feel right at home, but thanks for tuning in today.

I'd like to get started each week with something kind of funny and this was sent to me from a senior citizens home.

It's about a 92 year old man. He wasn't feeling well one day and so he decided to go to the doctor and have a check-up.

A few days later the doctor saw him out walking down the street with a beautiful young lady by his side and he seemed to be just as happy as can be.

The doctor was kind of surprised. He said, wow, you sure are doing a lot better. The man said, yes, doctor, I just took your orders.

You said get a hot mama and stay cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that. I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful.

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 how God wants to finish what he started in your life.

We all have things that we would consider to be incompletions, dreams that have not yet come to pass, promises that we are standing on, in our health, in our finances, in our family.

Maybe it is a child that has gotten off course. We have been praying and believing. But it has been so long now we are tempted to think that it is never going to happen.

Or maybe we have a dream to get out of debt, a dream to buy new home, a dream to start a business, but we have had so many obstacles.

Every time we try to go forward something comes against us. And now these disappointments, these setbacks have caused us to get complacent.

Except the fact that it is probably not going to happen for me. But I want to encourage you today, God is called the author and the finisher of our faith.

Anything he begins, any dream he puts in your heart, the good news is if God started it, he is well able to finish it.

It may not look like it is going to happen. It may be taken a long time. But if you will stay in faith, if you will keep your hopes up, God is promised he will complete your incompletions.

I want you to get a vision of that today. You may have a dream to get married. It has been a long time and you have been through other relationships that did not work out.
