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 is always our joy to come into your homes.

We love you. We know God has great things in store.

And if you're ever in the Houston 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. These are the best people in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood.

So come by and see you sometime. Thanks again for coming out. Thanks for

tuning in. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about these three men that were out

walking through the wilderness. And they came upon this very violent, raging river. They needed to get

to the other side. The first man prayed, God, please give me the strength to make it a cross.

And poof, God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he was able to swim across in two hours.

The next man, seeing this, prayed God, please give me the strength and the tools to make it across.

And poof, God gave him a boat.

He was able to row across in 30 minutes.

The next man prayed, God, please give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence to make it of course.

And poof, God turned him into a woman.

She looked at the map, hiked five minutes upstream, and walked across the bridge.

And yes, that was sent to me by a woman.

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.
