I dare you to be a praying person instead of a worrying person, instead of an

intimidating person, instead of a nagging person, be a praying person.

And let the Lord have those requests and say, God, do something on my behalf for

your glory. Some years ago, there was a song called Looking for Love in All the Wrong

Places. Sometimes we look for blessing in all the wrong places too. Hello and welcome to

Destin for Victory, where we feature the preaching ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard.

Well, let's be honest, we sometimes use manipulation or intimidation to get what we want.

We've all done it.

We'll very likely do it again.

But today, Pastor Paul wants to show you a better way.

Remember to come see us at Pastor Paul.net to listen to Destin for Victory on Demand.

I know what it is to be in need,

and I know what it is to have plenty.
