I hope you and your family are having a great summer.

Victory and I are praying for you, believing for God's very best in your life.

And it's always my pleasure to be able to share a message with you.

I hope you're encouraged and inspired today.

God bless you.

It's great to be with you today.

And I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast,

our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

be a part of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny and I heard about this

pastor. He found a dead mule on the church grounds. He called the health department.

They said they couldn't pick it up without authorization from the mayor.

Well, the mayor was known to be rude and hard to get along with.

When the pastor called, the mayor didn't disappoint.

He started ranting and raving.

He finally said, isn't it your job to bury the dead? Why did you even call me?

The pastor asked God to give him the right response. He said, yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the

dead, but I always like to notify the next of kin first. 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 necessary endings. We all have times when things come to an end that we weren't

expecting. We were going along fine, enjoying life. Then the company downsizes and we're let go.

A relationship doesn't work out.
