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. It's a joy to come into your homes. We love you, and we know God has great things in store for you.

If you're ever in the Houston area, I hope you'll 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 thanks again for coming out today.

I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard about this elderly couple. They'd been married for over 60

years. They were at a church fellowship and someone asked them the secret of their success.

The man told how he always treated his wife with respect and he took her on trips all over the

world. He said, in fact, for our 25th wedding anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China. Everyone kind of

clapped. Someone spoke up and said, what'd you do for your 50th wedding anniversary? He said, I went back and

picked her up. All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 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 name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about living with confidence.

Too many people go through life intimidated, insecure.

They think everyone is smarter and brighter and more talented, more beautiful.

They put others on a pedestal and look down on themselves.

And yes, it's good to celebrate people.

It's good to be happy for their accomplishments.

But can I tell you, you are someone to be celebrated?

You are talented.

You are smart.
