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

If you enjoy 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. Well, God bless you. It's 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. These are the finest people in all of

Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. Thanks for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out.

And I'd like to start with something funny. And I heard about this burglar that broke into a home one night.

As he was stealing the stereo, he heard a voice saying,

Jesus is watching you.

He froze in his tracks and shined his slide over in the corner of the room.

And he saw a parrot.

He said, did you say that to me?

The parrot said, yes, I'm just trying to warn you.

Burglar said, warn me. What are you talking about? Who are you? Perret said, my name is Moses.

Burglar laughed. Said, what kind of crazy people would name a parrot Moses? The parrot said the same kind of

people that would name a 150-pound

Rottweiler, Jesus. 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.
