Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

I was watching a little video about rats.

I like rats.

They're nasty, but they're tough.

And this video showed this guy put these rats in water and they wanted to see how long they would

swim before they drown. Just you know I do that I did that to my son he wanted to be

a Navy SEAL so true story true story tied his arms behind his

back tied his legs and I threw him in a pool and I had a pole and every time he

tried to get to the side I'd push her out I want to see how long he

would last I would save him I'm not gonna going to let him drown, but he was cool.

He, he, paramedics help when they came.

So he put these rats in the water and they wanted to see how long the rats would

swim before they drown.

So 15 minutes they started sinking and right before they drown they took the rats out,

dried them off and 10 minutes later they put the rats back in the water to see how long they would last. They just swam to exhaustion, they saved the rats,

took them out, dried them off. Ten minutes later they put them back in the water and they said,

how long do you think the rats would last 60 hours because they had hope somebody was going to come get them.

Now I don't know what y'all are going through but God has saved you thousands of times in the past. Don't forget it.

When David killed Goliath, Saul said to David, you can't do that and he says, listen, I killed

a lion in the bear. I'm going gonna tell you a quick story that I'm

a prayer for you a glove is made in the image of a hand and the glove is made so
