Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today.

I want you to know that Victoria and I are praying for you and your family this summer.

And just asking God to bring you more peace and joy and victory than you've ever seen before.

Know that God's for you, he's got you in the palm of his hand.

And I hope you enjoy the message today.

Well, God bless you.

It's a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area,

please stop by. Be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

I'd like to start with something funny. And I heard about this pastor. He found a small box

hidden in his wife's closet. He opened it up. There were six eggs

and a thousand one dollar bills. He asked his wife about it. She explained how every time he

preached a bad sermon, she put an egg in the box. After 35 years of ministering, he felt pretty good about himself, only six bad sermons.

He asked what the $1,000 was. She said, every time I got a dozen eggs, I sold them for a dollar.

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 prepared in the process.

When Victoria and I found out we were pregnant with our first son Jonathan, we were so excited.

We called our parents, told our friends. Over the next few weeks, we started getting the baby's

room together, moving furniture around.

All we could think about was this baby was on the way.

Six months later, Victoria's feet started swelling.

Her back started hurting.
