Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has

amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

Your faith is amazing. Go out and tell people about this saving power of Jesus Christ,

Amen, and that He can do what no one else can do. You are His light in all the world.

You see, we're all on this journey of faith together. And if we're going to experience the fullness

and his nephew lot and they went on this journey. But there was a point in his journey

where lot, his nephew and himself had acquired so many possessions that they had to part ways.

The land could not sustain both of them. So Abraham looked at lot and said, you pick first,

which way do you want to go? What direction do you want to go? Lot. I'm giving you first choice.

Well, lot looked around and he found a place that he thought would be perfect for he and his family.
