We're believing you guys are going to have a great February and an awesome 2024. I love how you're putting God first place. He sees you taking the time. Thanks for being with us today.

We believe this is going to be a great year. Thank you for always being a part of this podcast. Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. We love you, and we know God has great things in store for each one of you.

If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services, I'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

But thanks for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out. I like to start with something funny each week.

And I heard about this reporter. He was visiting churches all across the nation.

While in New York, he noticed this golden phone on the wall with the sign that said,

calls $10,000 per minute.

He asked the pastor what it meant, and the pastor explained how that was a direct line to heaven. If you were

willing to pay the price, you could talk directly to God. The reporter continued visiting other

churches. He encountered the same golden phone with the same sign. When he finally made it down to Texas,

he saw the phone on the wall, but the sign said, 25 cents per call. Intrigued, he asked the pastor,

why it was so much cheaper. The pastor said, you're in Texas. Now it's a local call.

All right. Caught up your Bibles. 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 having a never say die attitude. If you're going to fulfill your

destiny, you have to have a made-up mind that no matter what comes against you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how many times

you get knocked down, you are not going to stay down, you're not going to start complaining,

you're not going to get soured on life and give up on your dreams, you're going to keep

pressing forward looking for your next victory.

There's got to be a holy determination, a never say die attitude.

The people that succeed are not necessarily the most talented.

They are the most determined.

They know how to persevere.
