Quote

I can't very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.

More quotes by Joyce Meyer

Image
We often think more highly of ourselves than we ought to, and it's easy to judge others and be critical of their weaknesses and shortcomings. But this self-righteous attitude is a sin that we can be blinded to because we're so focused on what the other person did wrong. The reality is this attitude is worse than the wrong behavior we're judging.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We should be reminding ourselves that no matter how many problems may be facing us, the One Who is with us is greater than all those who oppose us.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When discipline is sown, like a good seed, it yields a harvest of things that fulfill and satisfy us-things that make us happy and release peace and joy in our lives.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.

I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We worship God with our entire life - with every decision we make and everything we do

Love listens to the other person and searches for clues on ways to serve, bless and lift up that person.
Joyce Meyer

The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
As believers in Christ, we are part of Him-God the Father decided before the foundation of the world that anyone who loved Christ would be loved and accepted by Him.

Your value should not be determined by how somebody else has treated you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Do what you don’t want to do to get what you want to get.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Helplessness is a place of power if you're helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything you do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.

Sometimes when you've had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you've already had.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don't fit.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't do what's right to get something. Do the right thing because it's the right thing.
Joyce Meyer
Image
It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.

Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.

Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
