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 great to be with you today and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week

through our daily podcast, our YouTube

channel, and social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you be a part

of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny. I heard about this group of school

children. They were in the cafeteria line at their Catholic elementary school. And at the start of the line, there was a big bowl of apples.

A nun had written a note.

It said, take only one, God is watching.

At the end of the line, there was a big bowl of chocolate chip cookies.

One of the children had written a note.

It said, take all you want.

God is watching the apples.

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 thanking God before you see the promise. We all have things we're believing for to accomplish a dream, to beat the right person,

for our health to turn around.

And we prayed, we believed, we stood in faith, but it hasn't happened yet.
