Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed 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. What a joy it is to come into your homes today. We're here at MinuteMade Park.

The home of the Houston Astros, but you know what? We're celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We thank you for tuning in. If you're ever in the Houston area, I hope you stop by and see us.

We'd love to have you at one of our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

Thanks for tuning in today. I'd like to start with something funny each week.

I'll tell you one of my favorite ones. This man called up the church office and he asked the church secretary.

I want to speak to the head hall at the trough and the church secretary. She was kind of offended.

She said, if you mean the pastor, then you're going to have to call him pastor, but you may not call him the head hall at the trough.

He said, well, okay, I was just going to make a $10,000 donation to your church. She said, hold on, porky, just walked in.

All right, come on, hold up your bibles and say it like you mean it. Are you ready? 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'll be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, ever-living seed of the word of God.

I'll never be the same. Never, never, never. I'll never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you. You sound great as usual.

I want to talk to you today about learning to receive the good things that God has in store.

And really, God has already done everything he's going to do.

He paid the ultimate price through the death, the burial, and the resurrection of his son Jesus. And he has made a way for each one of us to live in victory.

But we have to do our part and really start believing it and start acting on it.

And all through the Bible, there are so many promises of what God has already done.
