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 always a joy to come into your

homes. And if you're ever in our area, please 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.

Thank you again for coming out today.

And I like to start with something funny.

And I heard about this minister.

He'd been out bear hunting all day long, searched and searched through the woods with no sign of a bear.

Finally, in frustration, he threw his gun on the ground. He went down to the stream to cool off.

About that time, he sees this huge grizzly bear running straight toward him, force about a hundred yards away he fell on his

knees and said god i need protection please convert this bear into a christian miraculously the bear

froze in his tracks lifted both paws toward the heavens and said lord thank you for this food i'm about to

eat hold up your bible say it like you mean it this is towards the heavens and said, Lord, thank you for this food I'm about to eat.

Hold up your Bible. 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 redeeming the time.

Time is one of the most valuable commodities that we have. It's more valuable than money.

You can make more money,

but you can't make more time. The scripture tells us to redeem the time. That means don't waste it.

Don't live this day unfocused, undisciplined, unmotivated. We have a responsibility to use our time wisely.
