We're God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. And 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 like to start with something funny and heard about this man

calling it, called the church office. He said, I want to speak to the head hog at the

trough. The secretary was offended. She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to

have to call him pastor, but you may not call him the head hog at the trough. He said,

well that's fine, but I was thinking about making a $5,000 donation to your church. She

said, hang on, porky just walked in. 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 unconditional

trust. It's easy to trust God when things are going our way. We're getting good breaks.

Our business is blessed. Our children are healthy. That doesn't take much faith. Life is

good. But what about when things aren't going our way? Our prayers aren't being answered.

The problem isn't turning around. We're not seeing favor. Too often we get discouraged.

Thank God, why aren't you doing something? You can see I'm being mistreated. My health

isn't good. I worked hard, but I didn't get the promotion. We think when it changes

we'll be happy. When I meet the right person, when my health improves, when we have this

baby, then we'll have a good attitude. That's conditional trust. God, if you meet my demands,

if you answer my prayers the way I want or my timetable, then I'll be my best. The problem

with conditional trust is there will always be things we don't understand. Something that's

not happening fast enough, it didn't work out the way we wanted. We prayed just as hard
