God is with you, and He'll help you make spiritual progress-strengthening and encouraging you to keep on keeping on during rough times. It's easy to quit, but it takes faith to press on to victory.
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
Jesus is a divine guest inside of you all the time - one who loves, understands, sees and hears you. He wants to live in oneness with you... to be the centerpiece of everything you do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
You know, it's one thing to say you believe. It's another thing to have your faith tested severely and come out on the other side of it still believing God.
Joyce Meyer
Image

God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Everything you do is a seed that you sow. Seed bad, harvest bad. Seed good, harvest good. And the list goes on and on.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If God changes your heart, be willing to change your plans
Joyce Meyer

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.
Joyce Meyer
Image
you have to realize that you don't have someone else's life and your never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrass the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying God here I am. Do what you want to do with me.
Joyce Meyer
Image
As long as we complain, we remain stuck in our problems. But a thankful attitude brings deliverance and makes God smile.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don’t waste another day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you don’t let them.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I think there's more women that watch me than men, but I don't look at myself as just a minister to women. My ministry began that way, but I really feel like the Word of God is for everybody.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Pray that God will open the doors you can't open and close the doors that need to be closed.

Image
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
Forgiveness is not a feeling - it's a decision we make because we want to do what's right before God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.

Don't wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to enjoy your life.
