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 a joy to come into your homes. If you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you,

we'll make you feel right at home. I say it often, but these are the finest people in all of

Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. So come out whenever you can. But thanks for tuning in.

Thank you again for coming out. And I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this

husband and wife.

They'd been arguing for a long time about who should make the coffee in the morning.

The man definitely thought it was his wife's job, but she just didn't agree.

After several heated debates, the wife finally said to him, I can prove to you from the

scripture that the man is supposed to make the

coffee in the morning. He said, what are you talking about? Nothing in the scripture about the man

making the coffee? She said, sure there is. She opened her Bible and pointed to the book of

Hebrews. All right, 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 power of your vision. Too many people are stuck in a rut. Not because they're not talented. Not because they don't have God's favor, but because their vision is limited.

They don't see themselves accomplishing their dreams, being promoted, living healthier.

They just see more of the same. What you see is what you're going to move toward.

We all have vision.

Every one of us has a picture in our mind of our self, our family, our future.

The real question is what does your picture look like?

Do you see yourself rising higher, overcoming obstacles, living an abundant life? Or is the picture you have of yourself struggling,

defeated, addicted, overweight, never getting good breaks? The pictures you allow in your mind

will determine what kind of life you live. You have to protect your vision. If your vision is limited, your life will be limited.

And seven times in the scripture, God asks, what do you see? God is interested in our vision.
