Speaker 1: I hope you and your family are having a great summer.
Speaker 1: Victorian are praying for you, believe in for God's very
Speaker 1: best in your life, and it's always my pleasure to
Speaker 1: be able to share a message with you. I hope
Speaker 1: you're encouraged and inspired today. God bless you. It's great
Speaker 1: to be with you today, and I hope you'll stay
Speaker 1: connected with us during the week through our daily podcast,
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit
Speaker 1: us in person. We'd love to have you be a
Speaker 1: part of one of our services. And I'd like to
Speaker 1: start with something funny, and someone sent me this funny
Speaker 1: prayer about food goes like this, Lord, grant me the
Speaker 1: strength that I may not fall into the clutches of
Speaker 1: cholesterol at polyunsatyretz. I'll never mutter, for the road to
Speaker 1: Hell is paved with butter. Cake is cursed, cream is awful,
Speaker 1: and Satan is hiding in every waffle. Belzebove is a
Speaker 1: chocolate drop, Lucifer is a lollipop. Teach me the evils
Speaker 1: of fried chicken from the side. Lord, if you love me,
Speaker 1: shut my mouth, say it like you mean a joam.
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about the I am advantage,
Speaker 1: two of the most important words we can ever say,
Speaker 1: or I am. They're just small, ordinary words, and we
Speaker 1: use I and am in different ways all through the day.
Speaker 1: But when you put them together, something powerful happens. Whatever falls,
Speaker 1: the I am will come looking for you. I am blessed,
Speaker 1: Blessings are coming. I am strong. Strength is coming, I
Speaker 1: am healthy. Health is coming. And this is great when
Speaker 1: we use it in the positive and we declare good
Speaker 1: things over our life. The problem is it works in
Speaker 1: the negative as well. I am unattractive. Unattractiveness comes, I
Speaker 1: am lazy. Laziness comes, I am unlucky. Bad breaks come.
Speaker 1: Whatever you put after the I am, you're inviting into
Speaker 1: your life. Just imagine you're sending it an invitation. I
Speaker 1: am talented. You just invited talent to come. I am disciplined,
Speaker 1: I am focused. I am a masterpiece. You're inviting things
Speaker 1: that are making you better and moving you towards your destiny.
Speaker 1: But how many times are we inviting things we don't want? Joel,
Speaker 1: I'm just ordinary. You're inviting ordinary. I am poor, I
Speaker 1: am broke, I am so in debt. You're inviting lack
Speaker 1: struggle and not enough or I am I am tired,
Speaker 1: I am lonely. You're inviting the very things you're trying
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Pay attention to what you're sending
Speaker 1: invitations to. The good news is you get to choose
Speaker 1: what follows the I am no more, I am limited,
Speaker 1: I am out of shave, I am at a disadvantage.
Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor. Cancel those invitations. Quit sending out
Speaker 1: what you don't want. Well, Joel, I'm just telling it
Speaker 1: like it is. It's the truth. I am sick, I
Speaker 1: am broke, I am undisciplined. The scripture says, let the
Speaker 1: weak say I am strong. God didn't say let the
Speaker 1: weak say I am weak. Let the insecure say I
Speaker 1: am not enough. God says, use the I am to
Speaker 1: declare who I say you are. The circumstances may say
Speaker 1: you're sick. The medical report doesn't look good. But don't
Speaker 1: go around saying I am unhealthy, I am going down,
Speaker 1: I am so worried. You're prophesying your future change what
Speaker 1: follows the I am? How about I am healthy, I
Speaker 1: am strong, I am an overcomer, I am armed with
Speaker 1: strength for this battle. You declare that, and healing starts coming, strength, vitality.
Speaker 1: Instead of I am limited, I'm at a disadvantage, I
Speaker 1: am not up to par Turn that around. I am equipped,
Speaker 1: I am empowered, I am anointed, I am well able.
Speaker 1: Look at what you're inviting, power, favor, anointing the goodness
Speaker 1: of God. The scripture says, with our words, we can
Speaker 1: bless ourselves or we can curse ourselves. Sometimes it's not
Speaker 1: the enemy holding us back. We're holding ourselves back. We're
Speaker 1: using these negative ims and we may not even realize it.
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what follows the im. What are you
Speaker 1: saying about yourselves? One reason that I AM is so
Speaker 1: powerful is this one of the names of God. Moses
Speaker 1: had been hiding in the desert because of a mistake
Speaker 1: he had made. He had to flee from the Egyptians.
Speaker 1: After forty years, God came to him in a burning
Speaker 1: bush and told him to go deliver the Israelites from slavery.
Speaker 1: That's what he was originally called to do. He thought
Speaker 1: he had missed his purpose. He told God how the
Speaker 1: Phabah wouldn't listen to him, and how the Israelites wouldn't
Speaker 1: follow his leadership. He had all these excuses. He finally said, God,
Speaker 1: if I go, the Israelites are going to ask me
Speaker 1: who sent me? What should I tell them? Your name is?
Speaker 1: God said you tell them, my name is I Am.
Speaker 1: He could have said, my name is Jehovah, my name
Speaker 1: is Yahweh, my name is the most High. But out
Speaker 1: of all the names he could have chosen, he simply said,
Speaker 1: tell them I Am sent you. Time we say I am,
Speaker 1: we are saying the name of God. That's why what
Speaker 1: follows the I am has so much power. When you
Speaker 1: say I am healthy, you are saying, in effect, God,
Speaker 1: I believe that I'm healthy. That statement has the authority
Speaker 1: of the creator of the universe. It's not just being positive.
Speaker 1: Let me speak some nice affirmations over me. When you
Speaker 1: use I am, it's backed up by the Most High God.
Speaker 1: You may be struggling, you have some things coming against you,
Speaker 1: but when you declare I am blessed. I am victorious.
Speaker 1: I am more than a conquer I am the head
Speaker 1: and not the tell You're not just hyphing yourself up.
Speaker 1: The power of the living God is behind those i ams.
Speaker 1: You could be worried about your children, stressed over your job,
Speaker 1: upset over people at work, But instead of giving life
Speaker 1: to all that defeat, you declare, I am peace, I
Speaker 1: am calm, I am secure, I am confident. When God
Speaker 1: hears those i ams declaring what he said about you,
Speaker 1: angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, miracles
Speaker 1: said in emotion, his power is backing up the I am.
Speaker 1: That's his name. But imagine how God must feel when
Speaker 1: He has created us in his image and crowned us
Speaker 1: with his favor, put the enemy under our feet, called
Speaker 1: us more than conquers. But he hears us using the
Speaker 1: I am to devalue who we are, to criticize ourselves,
Speaker 1: to speak mediocrity. It's like using his name in vain.
Speaker 1: I am not talented enough. I'm not really smart enough.
Speaker 1: I am not attractive enough. No, God calls you a masterpiece.
Speaker 1: He put in you everything you need to reach your destiny.
Speaker 1: I can hear God say, and don't put my name
Speaker 1: on that. Don't use my authority for something I didn't
Speaker 1: call you. A few years ago, someone created a fake
Speaker 1: brand on the internet under Victoria's name. Was this skincare line,
Speaker 1: had all this product, made all these promises, used her picture.
Speaker 1: They showed her on talk shows telling how amazing it was.
Speaker 1: It was all fake. We had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: People had come up, Victoria, I bought your skincare products.
Speaker 1: We love it. We had to tell the authorities take
Speaker 1: our name off of that. It's not us, it's a scam.
Speaker 1: In the same way when God hears us saying I
Speaker 1: am weak, I am addicted, I'm dysfunctional, Joel, It's been
Speaker 1: in my family a long time. I am unworthy. I
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed. I am not able. I
Speaker 1: don't have the training. God says, that's not who I am.
Speaker 1: That's a scam. Don't use my name like that. That's
Speaker 1: the enemy trying to get you to use the I
Speaker 1: am in the wrong way. When you use I am
Speaker 1: to describe who you are or to describe your circumstances,
Speaker 1: you need to make sure it's in agreement with who
Speaker 1: God says you are. Don't use his name in vain.
Speaker 1: I know normally that means cursing, talking bad, but how
Speaker 1: about not using his name to speak negative over yourself,
Speaker 1: to contradict who he says you are. Had a friend
Speaker 1: in high school. He was a good guy, very smart, talented,
Speaker 1: and great in sports, but he was always putting himself down.
Speaker 1: I have never known anyone to be more negative toward themselves.
Speaker 1: I don't think he even realized he's doing it, or
Speaker 1: he's just trying to be funny or self deprecating. All
Speaker 1: through the day he would say things, I am so
Speaker 1: stupid in front of the whole class, I am so fat,
Speaker 1: I'm so clumsy. The problem with saying that is it's
Speaker 1: gonna catch up to you. We played basketball. He'd miss
Speaker 1: a shot. Running back down the court, he would say
Speaker 1: it over and over. I am an idiot, I am
Speaker 1: an idiot. I am an idiot. Thought to myself, You're
Speaker 1: not an idiot. You just missed a shot. We all
Speaker 1: miss shots. Quit cursing your future. Quit using the I
Speaker 1: am in vain. Some people have developed this habit of
Speaker 1: being against themselves. They become trained to speak the negative
Speaker 1: i ams, and they don't realize they're cursing their future.
Speaker 1: You can't go around speaking negative about yourself and reach
Speaker 1: your destiny. As long as you have the wrong i ams,
Speaker 1: it's going to limit your potential. David said in Psalms,
Speaker 1: God put a watch over my mouth. That's a great prayer. God,
Speaker 1: don't let me speak another nation negative thing about myself.
Speaker 1: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be
Speaker 1: against yourself. Most of us don't go around criticizing other people.
Speaker 1: You don't go to your friends or that person sitting
Speaker 1: next to you and say, man, you don't look good today.
Speaker 1: You are overweight. Your personality really gets on my nerves.
Speaker 1: You may think that, but you don't verbalize it. I
Speaker 1: hope you don't. You're not gonna say something to put
Speaker 1: them down. We're disciplined when it comes to not devaluing others.
Speaker 1: Why are you devaluing yourselves? You don't criticize your friends.
Speaker 1: Why are you critical towards yourself? You don't speak defeat
Speaker 1: over your children. You tell them how beautiful they are,
Speaker 1: how talented, and how proud you are to have them.
Speaker 1: Why don't you start being good to yourself? Don't say
Speaker 1: another time I am unattractive, I am not likable, I'm
Speaker 1: too short, I am clumb I am slow. ZiT that up.
Speaker 1: When you criticize yourself, you are criticizing God's creation. You
Speaker 1: might as well look up and say, God, you didn't
Speaker 1: do a very good job on me. The fact is
Speaker 1: God calls you a masterpiece. He made you in his
Speaker 1: own image. He didn't make you in a dog's image,
Speaker 1: or a lion's image, or even an angel's image. You
Speaker 1: have the DNA of Almighty God. You look like the
Speaker 1: creator of the universe. You have royal blood flowing through
Speaker 1: your veins. When God made you, he liked you so
Speaker 1: much he threw away the mold. You are one of
Speaker 1: a kind, a prize possession. But the trick of the
Speaker 1: enemy is to get you to go through life feeling inferior,
Speaker 1: like you're not in enough. Speaking negative I ams. He
Speaker 1: knows if you go around discounting yourself, you will never
Speaker 1: see the masterpiece you were meant to be. When you
Speaker 1: say I'm not valuable, I'm not that talented, I am ordinary,
Speaker 1: that's dishonoring to God. You are using his name that
Speaker 1: I am to contradict who he says you are. You
Speaker 1: may feel those ways, but you have to learn to
Speaker 1: turn it around. In the face of insecurity, feeling inferior,
Speaker 1: you need to say I am worthy, I am valuable,
Speaker 1: I am a masterpiece. I am talented. I am crowned
Speaker 1: with favor. That's what causes God to go to work.
Speaker 1: That's using his name the right way. The circumstances may
Speaker 1: say one thing. It's tempting to talk about that, but
Speaker 1: you have to get in agreement with God. I may
Speaker 1: be struggling with this addiction, but I am not an addict.
Speaker 1: I am not dysfunctional. I am not a product of
Speaker 1: my environment. I am free, I am whole, I am clean.
Speaker 1: I am victorious. See. Sometimes the reason we're stuck is
Speaker 1: we keep using our i ams to describe the situation,
Speaker 1: but you need to use the I am to change
Speaker 1: the situation. Business may be slow, my bank account may
Speaker 1: have gone down, but that's not who I am. I
Speaker 1: am blessed, I am prosperous. I am under the open
Speaker 1: windows of heaven. Whatever follows that I am is going
Speaker 1: to come looking for you. I am average, Average comes
Speaker 1: looking how about I am exceptional? Exception comes looking favor
Speaker 1: new levels. I am unworthy. I don't measure up. Unworthiness
Speaker 1: comes shame, guilt. Try a different. I am. I am forgiven,
Speaker 1: I am redeemed, I am restored. I am the righteousness
Speaker 1: of God. That's what brings hope, That's what brings life
Speaker 1: and cause you to get back up and go again.
Speaker 1: When my father to be with the Lord, I knew
Speaker 1: I was supposed to step up and pastor the church,
Speaker 1: but I didn't feel qualified. I'd been behind the scenes
Speaker 1: for seventeen years doing the television production and I had
Speaker 1: never trained to be a pastor, never ministered. Plus my
Speaker 1: father was a great pastor and so strong, this big personality,
Speaker 1: and I thought I don't have any of that. My
Speaker 1: ims were negative. I am intimidated, I am unqualified, I
Speaker 1: am lacking. And the fact is that was all true.
Speaker 1: I wasn't making it up. That's how I felt. But
Speaker 1: the scripture says, let the week say I am strong.
Speaker 1: Not let the weak describe the situation. Let the week
Speaker 1: talk about how you feel. No, let the weak declare
Speaker 1: what God says. If I would have kept the wrong
Speaker 1: I ams, I wouldn't be up here today. All these
Speaker 1: thoughts told me I couldn't do it. But all through
Speaker 1: the day I wouldn't say what I felt. That was tempting,
Speaker 1: but I put a watch over my mouth. I did
Speaker 1: my best to only say what God says about me.
Speaker 1: I am strong, I am anointed, I am equipped, I
Speaker 1: am favored. You know what started looking for me? Courage, strength, power, anointing.
Speaker 1: I discovered ability I never dreamed I had talent came
Speaker 1: out that I didn't know was in me. Don't let
Speaker 1: negative i ams keep you from your greatness. You can't
Speaker 1: reach your destiny. Speaking defeat over your life. Whatever follows
Speaker 1: that I am, make sure it's uplifting, encouraging, empowering, that
Speaker 1: it is what God says about you. See some people
Speaker 1: get up in the morning and look in the mirror,
Speaker 1: and the first thing they say is, man, I am
Speaker 1: so old looking, I am so wrinkled, and I am
Speaker 1: so out of shape. Next time you do that, just
Speaker 1: imagine you're sending out invitations oldness. You are cordially invited
Speaker 1: into my life. Wrinkles, this is your formal invitation. I'd
Speaker 1: love to have you, unattractiveness, ugliness, homeliness. I'd like to personally.
Speaker 1: You better start canceling those invitations. Some of you that
Speaker 1: have already shown up. And I'm just kidding, but instead
Speaker 1: of all those negative i ams, starting to day off
Speaker 1: down on yourself. Get in agreement with God. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna use his name, put what he says behind it. Father,
Speaker 1: you said, my youth is being renewed like the eagles.
Speaker 1: So I declare, I am young, I am strong, I
Speaker 1: am good looking, I am vibrant, I am a masterpiece.
Speaker 1: When you say that, it won't get stronger, fresher, younger,
Speaker 1: more vitality. Whatever is following the I am you're calling in.
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're speaking over yourself. Do you
Speaker 1: want what you're inviting? David's and so on? One thirty nine. God,
Speaker 1: I praise you because you have made me in an
Speaker 1: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. Notice David's
Speaker 1: I ams. He was saying, not in arrogance, but in
Speaker 1: praise to God. I am amazing, I am wonderful, I
Speaker 1: am a masterpiece. Most of us think just the opposite.
Speaker 1: Nothing amazing about me, nothing wonderful. I got these flaws.
Speaker 1: I'm impatient. I don't have a very good personality. We're
Speaker 1: speaking against who we really are. We're using the name
Speaker 1: of God that I am to devalue ourselves, to push
Speaker 1: down the greatness He's put in us. Have you ever
Speaker 1: said I am amazing, I am beautiful, I am talented,
Speaker 1: I am successful. I know people that say that to others.
Speaker 1: They have no problem complimenting their friends. You look today,
Speaker 1: that was an incredible presentation. You did outstanding, you played
Speaker 1: awesome in your game. They speak the blessing over others,
Speaker 1: but they never do it to themselves. And it's good
Speaker 1: for people to tell you you're great, you're kind, talented, beautiful,
Speaker 1: But there's a whole other level of impact when it
Speaker 1: comes out of your mouth. Your I am is one
Speaker 1: of the most powerful tools to reach your destiny. When
Speaker 1: was the last time you said I am amazing. You're
Speaker 1: not bragging on you, You're bragging on what God has done.
Speaker 1: I don't mean out in public, go around announcing I'm
Speaker 1: talking about in private, in your quiet time. You need
Speaker 1: to be able to say, Lord, thank you that I
Speaker 1: am amazing. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am attractive,
Speaker 1: I am strong, I am talented, I am disciplined, I
Speaker 1: am powerful, I am favored. I am victorious. Because you're
Speaker 1: in agreement with God, the power of his name is
Speaker 1: backing you up. The God who told Moses tell the
Speaker 1: people I am sent you. When he hears you declaring
Speaker 1: what he promised in the unseen realm, things are said
Speaker 1: into motion. God begins to bring about what he says
Speaker 1: about you. In the scripture, God told Jeremiah that he
Speaker 1: knew him before he was formed in his mother's womb,
Speaker 1: and that he was going to become a great prophet,
Speaker 1: that he would speak to nations and make a great
Speaker 1: difference with his life. But Jeremiah was young, He didn't
Speaker 1: have the training, and no one in his family had
Speaker 1: done anything significant. He said in verse six, Oh, Sovereign God,
Speaker 1: I do not know how to speak. I am too young,
Speaker 1: notice his I ams. I am not able. I am
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage. I am too young. God could have said, no, Jeremiah,
Speaker 1: you can do this. I want to help you take
Speaker 1: this step. He could have just encouraged him and tried
Speaker 1: to talk him into it. But God knows the power
Speaker 1: of the I am. He knows if we're speaking against ourselves,
Speaker 1: it will keep us from rising higher. God answered him
Speaker 1: back and said, Jeremiah, say not that you're too young.
Speaker 1: God was saying, in effect, don't put that negative I
Speaker 1: am with my name. That's not who I called you.
Speaker 1: To be. I didn't say you're too young, not able afraid.
Speaker 1: I said you will speak to nations like Jeremiah. God
Speaker 1: not only knew you before you were formed in the wound,
Speaker 1: but he's already called you to accomplish your assignment, to
Speaker 1: go further than you think possible, to overcome obstacles that
Speaker 1: look too big. When he called you, he put in
Speaker 1: you everything you need to fulfill your destiny. There will
Speaker 1: be these times where you don't feel qualified, you don't
Speaker 1: have the experience, you don't come from an influential family.
Speaker 1: All these circumstances seem like you should shrink back, stay
Speaker 1: where it's comfortable. But God is going to call out
Speaker 1: of you things you didn't know were in you. He's
Speaker 1: going to take you further than others in your family
Speaker 1: have gone. If you're going to see these new levels,
Speaker 1: you have to have the right I ams. You'll be
Speaker 1: tempted to make excuses, devalue yourself, come up with the
Speaker 1: reasons it's not possible. That's judging your future based on
Speaker 1: what's happened in the past. But God is about to
Speaker 1: do a new thing, something that you've never seen. He's
Speaker 1: about to show out in your life. In an uncommon way. Now,
Speaker 1: don't let negative ims hold you back by faith. You
Speaker 1: have to declare who God says you are. God. If
Speaker 1: you say I'm a giant killer, then I'm going to
Speaker 1: get in agreement and say what you say, I am
Speaker 1: a giant killer God. If you say I'm a prophet
Speaker 1: to speak to the nations, I'm not gonna use my
Speaker 1: i am to tell you I am too young. My
Speaker 1: new I am is, I am well able, I am equipped,
Speaker 1: I am anointed for this assignment. Don't tell God all
Speaker 1: the reasons you can't do it. I am addicted, i
Speaker 1: am brogue, I am limited. I'm too young, too old,
Speaker 1: too short, too tall, all these negative i ams. God
Speaker 1: is saying to us what he said to him. Say not,
Speaker 1: you can't do it. Zip up that negative that's gonna
Speaker 1: keep you from your destiny. God would not have called
Speaker 1: you to do it if you were not well able.
Speaker 1: Verse nine says the Lord reached out and touched Jeremiah's
Speaker 1: mouth and said, I have put my words in you.
Speaker 1: God could have reached out and touched his heart, touched
Speaker 1: his head, but God touched his mouth. He was saying,
Speaker 1: from now you're gonna speak my words. What's held many
Speaker 1: people back are these negative i ams. They've been speaking
Speaker 1: against themselves their whole life, devaluing who they are. It's
Speaker 1: pushed down their gifts, kept them from dreams, limited relationships.
Speaker 1: Often we don't realize we're doing it. It's how we
Speaker 1: were raised. We've always been against ourselves. I believe today,
Speaker 1: like God did for Jeremiah, he's touching your mouth. He's
Speaker 1: gonna help you stop cursing your future. You're gonna feel
Speaker 1: a power, a strength to not speak defeat over your life.
Speaker 1: When you start to the spirit of God is going
Speaker 1: to rise up and remind you to zip it up.
Speaker 1: Say not that you're too young. Say not that you're
Speaker 1: not qualified. Say not you missed your chance. Say not
Speaker 1: that you'll live addicted. What God has spoken over you
Speaker 1: will override what the enemy has told you. No force
Speaker 1: of darkness can stop what God has purpose for you.
Speaker 1: Now do your part and use that I am to
Speaker 1: declare what God says about you. This is what Jeremiah did.
Speaker 1: He changes I am from I am too young to
Speaker 1: I am victorious. I am an overcomer, I am in power.
Speaker 1: God touched his mouth, said in verse eighteen Jeremiah I
Speaker 1: have made you like a strong, fortified city. You will
Speaker 1: stand up against any opposition. They will fight you, but
Speaker 1: they will fail, for I Am with you. When you
Speaker 1: have the right i ams, the most high God will
Speaker 1: show up. People may come against you, but the great
Speaker 1: i Am is backing you up our negative ims, keeping
Speaker 1: you from your destiny. Have you been speaking against your
Speaker 1: future and maybe don't realize it, using one of the
Speaker 1: names of God to declare defeat, to speak mediocrity. This
Speaker 1: is a new day and it has reached out to
Speaker 1: touch your mouth. He's going to help you speak faith
Speaker 1: filled words. When you get the right i ams, you'll
Speaker 1: be amazed at how your self image begins to improve.
Speaker 1: You feel good about who you are. You don't live
Speaker 1: stuck thinking you could never get well. Never break the addiction.
Speaker 1: You know that's only temporary. That God is fighting your battles.
Speaker 1: They came against you, but like Jeremiah, they will fail,
Speaker 1: for God is with you. Now, pay attention to what
Speaker 1: follows the im. That's what you're inviting into your life.
Speaker 1: No more inviting lack, defeat, struggle. Let's invite some new things.
Speaker 1: Let me help you to get started. Will you say
Speaker 1: this after me? I am strong, I am healthy, I
Speaker 1: am valuable, I am forgiven. I am amazing, I am exceptional.
Speaker 1: I am a masterpiece. I am blessed. I am successful,
Speaker 1: I am young, I am favored, I am powerful. I
Speaker 1: am victorious. In Jesus' name, Amen and Amen, do you
Speaker 1: receive it today? I'd like to give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of
Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my
Speaker 1: Lord and savior. If you pray that simple prayer, we
Speaker 1: believe you got born again. We'd love to send you
Speaker 1: some free information on your new walk with the Lord.
Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go
Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a
Speaker 1: good Bible based church and keep God first place. It's
Speaker 1: amazing what happens when you take a few moments throughout
Speaker 1: the day to connect with God. A moment to thank
Speaker 1: him for his goodness, a moment to declare his promises,
Speaker 1: a moment to remember that he's working. Now love to
Speaker 1: send you a new resource, three minute Moments with God.
Speaker 1: These short readings will help you refocus your thoughts, gain
Speaker 1: a fresh perspective knowing that God is ordering your steps.
Speaker 1: You don't need hours to connect with God. In just
Speaker 1: a few minutes, you can turn your thoughts toward Him
Speaker 1: and be encouraged by his promises. As you make time
Speaker 1: for Him, you'll have greater peace and strength, and you'll
Speaker 1: step into the favor that belongs to you.
