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. God bless you. It's always a joy to 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 today. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this mother one Sunday morning. She went into her son's room and said, son, wake up. It's time to go to church. He said, no, mom, I'm not going to church today.

She said, why not? He said, I'll give you two good reasons. Number one, I don't like the people.

And number two, they don't like me. She said, all right, I'll give you two better reasons why you should go.

Number one, you're 49 years old. And number two, you're the pastor. 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 knowing who you are.

It's easy to go through life thinking that

we're average, we're ordinary. There's nothing special about me. I'm just one of the six

billion people on earth. No, when God created you, he put a part of himself in you. You could say

you have the DNA of Almighty God. You are destined to do great things,

destined to leave your mark on this generation. The truth is, there is nothing average about you.

But too many times we don't realize who we are. We focus on our weaknesses, what we don't have, the mistakes

we've made, the family we come from. We end up settling for mediocrity when we were created for

greatness. If you're going to break out of average, every day you need to remind yourself,

I have the DNA of the most high God
