Well, God bless you. It's always a joy to come into your homes. If you're in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

Our promise you will make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this church service. One Sunday, everything was going great until a bolt of lightning hit the sanctuary.

When the smoke cleared, Satan himself was standing behind the podium. People panicked and ran out as fast as they could.

Everyone that is except one woman. She sat on the front row as calmly as can be. Satan was appalled. He said, lady, do you know who I am? She said, I sure do.

He said, aren't you afraid of me? She said not in the least bit. He said, why not? She said, why should I be? I've been married to your brother for 30 years.

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 your seventh year. When we've struggled in an area for a long time, it's easy to think this is the way it's always going to be.

I'll always struggle in my finances. I never get any good breaks. My marriage will never improve. We just don't get along. Too often we see it as permanent.

People tell me, Joel, I've always been negative. That's just who I am. They've convinced themselves that it's never going to change.

The first place we lose the battle is in our own thinking. If you think it's permanent, then it's permanent. If you think you've reached your limits, then you have.

If you think you'll never get well, then you won't. You have to change your thinking. You need to see everything that's holding you back.

Every limitation, every addiction, every sickness, as only temporary. It didn't come to stay. It came to pass.

The moment you accept it as the norm. The moment you decide this is my lot in life, that's when it can take root and become a reality.

A stronghold in your mind can keep you from your destiny. Some of you today, if you just break out in your thinking, you would see things begin to improve.

You may have struggled in an area for 20 years. The medical report says, just learn to live with it. But there's another report. It says, God is restoring health back into you.

It says, the number of your days he will fulfill. Your attitude should be, this sickness cannot stay in my body. It's on foreign territory. I am a temple of the Most High God.
