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.

God bless you and welcome.

Thanks for letting us come into your homes.

And if you're ever in this 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.

I like to start with something funny, and I heard about this husband and wife. They'd been arguing.

Now they were giving each other the silent treatment. The man had to get up early the next day

and catch a flight, and he needed his wife to wake him up. Not wanting to break the silence, he left a note on her bed that said, please, wake me up at 5 a.m. The next day, he got up at 8 o'clock, missed his flight. He's so upset. He thought, I'm going to go and find out why she didn't wake me up. There was a note on his side of the bed. It said, wake up. It's five.

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 the blessing and the burden.

We all love when a dream comes to pass. We get the promotion,

we move into the new house, we meet the right person. We know that's the favor of God.
