I am amazed that people want to ask me questions about God's work in my life. The interviews are a great way to share God's life-changing message and I pray that God continues to open this door for Christians.
Joyce Meyer

Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Through my obedience to God, He has been able to use my life to help others. It's been a great journey and I'm looking forward to all the things God has in the future.

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
The more you trust Jesus and keep your eyes focused on Him, the more life you'll have. Trusting God brings life. Believing brings rest. So stop trying to figure everything out, and let God be God in your life.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we're on. We can't have any understanding of it, because we're not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.
Joyce Meyer

If we are hungry enough for God, we will find a way into His presence. We should be so hungry for the presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him.

The fruit of your life will be what you believe you are.
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
There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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
Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it's like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.
Joyce Meyer
Image
It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.

If you make a mistake, it doesn't mean you're a mistake.

Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.

You have to press against the pressure that’s pressing against you!
