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 letting us 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'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

But I'd like to start with something funny,

and I should mention that this was sent to be by a woman. But according to the Alaska

Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer,

male reindeer lose their antlers at the start of winter in early November. Female reindeer keep

theirs all the way till the spring. This means all of Santa's reindeer from Rudolph to Blitzen

had to be female. She goes on to say, we should have known only a woman would be able to drag around a fat man wearing a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

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 odds are for you.

It's easy to go through life thinking of all the reasons why we can't be successful,

why we won't get well, why we'll never meet the right person.

We look at our situations in the natural and think the odds are against us.

I talked to a man that struggles with an addiction.
