I like to start with something funny each week. And heard about this 85 year old man He was out fishing one day and he heard this voice saying pick me up

He looked all around didn't see anything thought he was dreaming heard it again pick me up

He looked down and saw a frog on the ground. He said, in amazement,

are you talking to me? The frog said, yes, pick me up and kiss me, and I'll turn into a beautiful bride.

He quickly picked the frog up and put him in his front pocket. The frog said, hey, what are you doing?

I said, kiss me, and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. The man said, no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog. All right, 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 sensing the good things God has in store.

together for every person. That means there are moments of favor that God has already released into your future.

If you could pull back the curtain and see your whole life,
