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 so much for letting us come

into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out.

I'd like to start with something funny. And I heard about this man that was very stingy with his money.

And just before his death, he made his wife promise him

that she would have him buried with the $50,000 he had saved. The wife reluctantly agreed.

At the funeral, before they closed the casket, she snuck in this small wooden box. Her friend said,

surely, you didn't just bury the money, did you wife said of course I did I'm a Christian. I can't lie

She said you mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars the wife said yes I did I wrote a check

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 just do it. Sometimes God ask us to do things that don't make sense. Doesn't seem logical. Doesn't fit into our budget, doesn't line up with our schedule.

God, you want me to go back to college, I'm 40 years old.

God, you want me to give them a gift? I was saving those funds for my own dreams.

Or God, you want me to leave this secure position that I've had for years and start my own business?

Too often we overanalyze it. We debate it. Look at it only in the natural. We end up making

excuses, talking ourselves out of it. That couldn't be God. But if you're going to reach your

highest potential, you have to have bold obedience. That means you obey even

when you don't understand it. You just do it even when it doesn't make sense. That's what faith

is all about. If you can understand everything, you have the time, the money, it's all lined up,

that doesn't really take any faith.
