Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. 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.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this elderly couple. They were sitting in a swing celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Feeling romantic, the husband said to his wife, oh dear, our love is tried and true.

It's wife had difficulty hearing it and asked him to repeat it. He said it louder. I said our love is tried and true.

She still couldn't hear him. He said, what would you please speak up? Frustrated, he shouted, I said our love is tried and true.

She said, well fine, I'm sick of you too. Hold up your Bible. Why is that funny to me? 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 reprogramming your mind. Our mind is like a computer. How we program it is the way it's going to function.

You can have the most powerful computer made. The latest, fastest, holds the most memory. But if you put the wrong software in it, it's not going to function like it was designed.

We've all had to deal with these computer viruses. They can get into a perfectly good computer and start to contaminate the software.

Before long, the computer is slowed. You can't access your files. All these problems occur. Not because it's defective. It's poorly made. No, the hardware is fine. It's because somebody we programmed the software.

Somehow the insides got messed up. Now the software is contaminated. In the same way, when God created you, he stepped back and said another masterpiece.

Your hardware is perfect. You're the right size, the right nationality, you have the right gifts. Not only that, God put the right software in you.

From the very beginning, he programmed you to be victorious, healthy, strong, creative. Your original software says you can do all things through Christ.

He programmed whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. He programmed the head and not the tail. Lend and not borrow. Victor and not victim.

You were programmed to live an abundant, victorious, faith-filled life. That's how your creator designed you. But the reason we don't always experience this abundant life is we've allowed viruses to contaminate our software.

We think, I'll never be successful. I'm not that talented. I'll never break this addiction. I've had it too long. I'm slow, clumsy, unattractive. Nothing good is in my future.
