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

If you enjoyed 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. 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'll promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

I like to start with something funny.

And I heard about this family that lived way back in the woods.

They never left their little town, never watched television.

One day they took a vacation to New York City.

The father was showing his son a famous skyscraper.

They were so impressed.

They were especially intrigued by the elevator.

They didn't know what it was.

This elderly woman walked up and pushed a button.

The walls opened up.

She stepped into a little room, the walls closed back up.

They sat there contemplating what they had just seen. In a few seconds, the same walls opened back up

and a beautiful 24-year-old girl stepped out. Almost in disbelief, the son said, Dad, what just happened?

He said, I don't know, son, but go get your mother.

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.
