Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoy 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 a joy to be here with you. We love each and every one of you. And if you're ever in our area,

I hope you'll come out and be a part of one of our services. We'd love to have you just be here and hopefully meet you one-on-one. But thanks for tuning in. And again, thank you all for coming out. I'd like to start each week with something funny. And you all know these are just jokes. They are not doctrinally correct, especially this one.

And I heard about this middle-aged woman.

She had a heart attack.

On the opposite... these are just jokes. They are not doctrinally correct, especially this one. I heard about this

middle-aged woman. She had a heart attack. On the operating table, she asked God if that was it.

God said, no, you have 40 more years. Upon recovery, she decided to stay in the hospital and have a

major facelift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and extreme makeover.

Two months later, as she is leaving the hospital, she got hit by a car and killed.

She got to heaven and said, God, I thought you said, I had 40 more years.

God shook his head and said, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.

All right.

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 living in the rain.

In the scripture, rain is symbolic of blessings, favor, and increase.

One place talks about how we should be like a well-watered garden.
