Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed 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 our joy to come into your homes each week and I say it often, we come with good news.

Because we know God rewards people that seek after Him and that's you or you wouldn't be watching today.

And I hope if you're ever in our area, you'll stop by and see us. We give you a personal invitation and we'd love to have you to be a part of one of our services.

But thanks for tuning in today. I'd like to get started with something funny each week. So listen to this one.

A minister was raising money for a new sanctuary. He said to the congregation, anyone that will give a thousand dollars can pick out the next three hymns.

A little old lady stood up the back and said, Pastor, I'll do it. He was so excited. He said, that's great. Now what hymns would you like?

She looked over the congregation and said, I'll take him and him and him.

Alright, hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. You ready? 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. You sound great as usual. I want to talk to you today about the importance of following peace.

God wants to lead every one of us. The Holy Spirit is called our helper. He's there to guide us, to direct us, and to help us make good decisions in life.

And one of the main ways God leads us is by peace. When something is right, it just feels good right down in here.

There's a peace, a rest, a knowing. On the other hand, there are times when God withdraws our peace.

Something may look perfectly fine. In the natural there's no reason why you shouldn't do it, but right down in here you have an unrest and uneasiness.

You can't quite put your finger on it, but it just doesn't feel right. Well that's God's way of saying, hold off. Don't do it.

If we're going to stay in His best plan and really make good decisions, then we've got to be sensitive to what we're feeling right down in here.

We've got to learn to listen to our hearts and not our heads. And it says in Proverbs 3, verse 6, that if you will acknowledge God in all of your ways, then He will direct your paths.

What does that mean to acknowledge God? It simply means before you make a decision, be sensitive and listen to your heart.

Before you buy that new car, check right down in here. Do you have peace about it? Before you take that new job, before you go see that movie or before you get into that new relationship, you've got to learn to check with your heart.
