God has uniquely gifted you to help someone. Be available as God opens doors for you to do so.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.
Joyce Meyer

Bad habits are our enemies because they hinder us from being the person we want to be.

We may feel fear but we do not have to give in to it. We can do whatever we need and want to do, even if we have to do it afraid. Courage is not the absence of fear it is action in the presence of fear.

As believers, our joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord.

When I read the Bible, I see that we should have victory in our life and be overcomers, and I can't even control my temper. I'm impatient. I'm hard to get along with. I'm selfish and self-centered, and I don't seem to have any control over it.

When we pray, we open the door for God to come into our problems and situations and work on them.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Sometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people's throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I always say believe for a bunch, and even if you only get half of it you are better off than believing for a little and getting all of it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God's Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
