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. Always a joy to come into your homes.

We love you and we're believing for God's very best in your life.

If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll come out and be a part of one of our services.

These are the finest people in all of Houston right here at Lakewood. So come on out. We'd love to have you.

But thanks for tuning in. I like to get started each week with something funny.

And I heard about these three men

that were out hiking through the wilderness. They came upon this very violent, raging river.

They needed to get to the other side. The first man prayed, God, please give me the strength

to make it across. And poof, God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he was able to swim across in two hours.

Seeing this, the next man said, God, please give me the strength and the tools I need to make it

across. And poof, God gave him a boat. He was able to row across in 30 minutes. The next man said,

God, give me the strength, the tools, and the intelligence to make it across.

And poof, God turned him into a woman.

She looked at the map, height five minutes upstream, and then walked across the bridge.

And yes, that was sent to me by a woman.

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.
