[upbeat music] Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast, and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend? We appreciate you, and pray for God's very best in your life. God bless you. It's great to have you with us today. I hope you'll stay connected with us all through the week. You can download our daily podcast, listen to the messages any time, or you can go to our YouTube channel, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, but thanks for tuning in today. I like to start with something funny. I heard about these three men, a Baptist, a Catholic, and a Charismatic. They died on the same day and went to heaven. St. Peter met them at the pearly gates, said, "I'm so sorry, men, your rooms are not available yet." He didn't know what to do, so he decided to call Satan and see if he would keep them for a little while. Satan reluctantly agreed. Few hours later, Satan called back, said, "Peter, you've gotta come get these guys. The Baptist man is saving everyone, the Catholic man is forgiving everyone, and the Charismatic has already raised enough money for air conditioning." All right, 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.
