Quote

There's a part of you - the born-again part, your spirit - that's dead to sin. That's why it bothers you now when you sin. The 'wilderness' part of you - your soul - is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have.
Joyce Meyer

People always want to know how you know. And knowing in your heart is very hard to describe. I think so often, we're trying to understand something with our mind. But, actually, the Bible teaches us that much of what God does in our life will be difficult to understand with the mind.

Instead of judging people, we need to pray.

Courage means to keep making forward progress while you still feel afraid!

If you're holding on to an offense, then you haven't forgiven the person who hurt you. Unforgiveness finds excuses to talk about what people have done to us, and we'll tell anyone who will listen. There's a difference between sharing your testimony to help someone and talking about what's been done to you because you are angry about it.

In my relationship with God, I've learned that if I follow a 'formula' for how I spend my time with Him, then I'm just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.

God will help you be all you can be, but he will never let you be successful at becoming someone else.

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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.

Image
It's very inexpensive to give a compliment.
Joyce Meyer

It's like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf... most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord.

If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Love listens to the other person and searches for clues on ways to serve, bless and lift up that person.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God wants us to be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point.
Joyce Meyer

Willpower is that thing CEOs and professional athletes tell us they used to make it to the top.

Today is a brand new beginning for me!
Joyce Meyer

There is nothing as tragic as being alive and not enjoying life... Life should be celebrated!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Grace keeps us from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present and future.

All complaining comes from pride.

If you are tired of living on the beaten path that everyone else walks, venture into the woods. Some people would be afraid they would get lost, but a confident woman expects to have a new experience that might be outrageously wonderful.
