Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. If you're ever in our area,

I hope you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services. These are the finest people

in all of Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. Come out and be a part. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you again for coming out today. I'd like to start with something funny. I heard about these

three people, a Russian and American and a blonde. They were talking one day and the Russian proudly

said, we were the first ones in space. The Americans said, well, we were the first ones on the moon.

The blonde said, that's nothing. We're going to be the first ones on the sun. The Russian, the

American, they laughed. They said, what are you talking about? Can't go to the sun. It's too hot.

You'd burn up. The blonde said, we're not that dumb. We're going to go at night. 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 how yes is in your future. When God laid out the plan for your

life, he lined up the right people, the right breaks, the right open doors. He already has your

yeses planned out. Yes to that promotion. Yes to that clean bill of health. Yes you will get married.

Yes you are accepted into that college. You may have been told no a thousand times but God has

the final say and he says yes is coming your way. Yes you will accomplish your dreams. Yes you will

overcome that addiction. Yes your children will fulfill their destiny. Yeses are in your future.

Now here's the key. On the way to your yes, there will be noes. You have to go through the noes

to get to your yeses. The mistake many people make is they get discouraged by the noes and they

quit trying. They worked hard but didn't get the promotion. They prayed and believed but didn't

qualify for the new home. They put time and energy into a relationship but it didn't work out.
