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. God bless you. It is always a joy to come into your homes. We love you and we're believing that this year is going to be your best

year so far. We just appreciate you tuning in. If you're ever in our area, come out and be a part

of one of our services. These are the finest people in all of Houston right here at Lakewood.

We'd love to have you be a part. And thanks for tuning in today. I like to get started each

week with something kind of funny.

And I heard about this burglar that broke into a home one night. And as he was stealing the

stereo, he heard a voice saying, Jesus is watching. He froze in his tracks. He shined the flashlight

around the room. And he noticed over in the corner there was a parrot.

He said, did you say that?

The parrot said, yep, I'm just trying to warn you.

He looked kind of confused and said, warn me.

What do you mean?

Who are you?

The parrot said, my name is Moses.

He laughed and said, what kind of crazy people would name a parrot Moses?

The parrot replied the same kind of people that would name a 150-pound rotweiler, Jesus.

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.
