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 be with you today. I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily

podcast or YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have

you be a part of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny and I heard about this

minister that died. He was standing at the pearly gates and the man in front of him was dressed

in a loud t-shirt, sunglasses, and blue jeans. St. Peter asked his name. He said, I'm Joe Cohen,

taxi cab driver, New York City. Peter checked his list and handed him a gold staff and a silk road,

said, welcome to heaven heaven the minister stepped up said

i'm reverend joseph snow pastor of st mary's cathedral peter checked his list handed him a wooden staff

and cotton row he said wait a minute that couldn't be right the taxi cab driver got a gold staff and this is all

i get peter said sir up here we work by results.

When you preached, people slept, but when he drove, people prayed. All right, y'all, 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 just the opposite.

We all have situations that don't look like they're going to work out.

Doors have closed on a dream. Medical report's not good. A relationship didn't make it.

All the circumstances say that we'll always be lonely, always addicted, always have a child that's

off course. But the scripture says God turns mourning into dancing. He turns sorrow into joy.
