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 and welcome. Thanks so much for letting us come into your homes and if you're ever in our area,

please stop by. These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood.

We'd love to have you visit, but thanks for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out today.

And I'd like to start with something funny. I heard about this college professor. He was going to prove to

his class that there is no God. He said, God, if you're real, then knock me off this platform. I'm

giving you 15 minutes to do it. Every minute that went by, he taunted God. I'm still here, God. I'm

waiting. The last minute, 300 pound football player

walking down the hallway overheard

him, came running toward him,

full force, put his shoulder down,

knocked the professor, sent him flying

off the platform. Professor

got up in a day, said, what in the world do you do

that for? The football player replied,

God said he was busy,

so he sent me. Hold your Bible up. 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 moving forward. It's easy to go through life looking in the rearview mirror, focused on what didn't work
