I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

God sometimes allows us to feel anger so we'll recognize when we're being mistreated. But even when we experience true injustices in our lives, we must not vent our anger in an improper way.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.

God doesn't help those who help themselves He helps those who can't help themselves!
Joyce Meyer

I firmly believe that usually, the person who hurt you doesn't realize what they've done or how much it hurt you. So, continue to pray for the person or situation that caused your pain and anger. Ask God to give you understanding about why they did what they did.

Unity increases power.

What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we're too religious, we won't be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need to put no confidence in the arm of flesh, but rather trust ourselves entirely to the arm of the Lord.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We clearly see in God's Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It's easier to come up with excuses for why we can't do things that are hard or that we really don't want to do.
Joyce Meyer

Romans 6 - Our flesh is the instrument that Satan works through. When we say no to the flesh, we say no to the devil.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I tell people, and it's the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won't make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won't make you a servant of Christ.

If we're really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what's causing us to do what we do.
