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. Thanks for letting us come into your homes. We love you.

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. And I'll promise you, we will make you feel right at home.

I like to start with something funny. And one day Jesus and Satan were having a contest to see who was better with computers.

After six hours of making spreadsheets and designing web pages, a thunderstorm knocked the power out.

When they rebooted their computers, Satan started screaming, it's all lost.

All my material is gone. While Jesus quietly walked over and

printed his out, turned it in. Satan complained, it's not fair. He must have cheated. How come he

didn't lose his material? God smiled and said, Jesus saves. 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, I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name.

God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about it's a setup.

Everything in your life has been carefully orchestrated.

God is strategic.

Before you were born, he laid out a specific plan for you. Nothing randomly happens.

Not just the good breaks, the promotions, the times you've seen favor, but even the closed doors,

the disappointments, the betrayals, that's all a part of God's plan. It may not make sense.

It wasn't fair.
