Religion is a very dangerous thing. By that I mean being so caught up in rules and regulations and not focusing on the thing that matters most- a personal relationship with God.
Joyce Meyer

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, 'God is not mad at you.' Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, 'That is exactly what I needed to hear today.' Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

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.

Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.

Love and Self-control are the bookends of the fruit of the Spirit. Remove one of them and the rest fall over
Joyce Meyer
Image
Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.

As you read or listen to God's Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If we continue to believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to better things.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I imagine that it saddens the heart of God when we murmur and complain, instead of being thankful after He's been so good to us.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Self Pity is the most miserable party to go to, because, in case you haven't noticed, you're the only one who is there.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Enjoyment of life is not based on enjoyable circumstances. It is an attitude of the heart, a decision to enjoy everything because everything - even little, seemingly insignificant things - have a part in the overall big picture of life.
