We worship God with our entire life - with every decision we make and everything we do
Joyce Meyer
Image
Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it's damaging.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!
Joyce Meyer
Image
I've discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God's Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you put your feet on the floor every morning, Hell should shake!
Joyce Meyer
Image
God not only sees where you are, He sees where you can be.
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'
Joyce Meyer
Image
We often say God is never late, but generally He isn’t early either. Why? Because He uses times of waiting to stretch our faith in Him and to bring about change and growth in our lives.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I didn't really understand the importance of little things. I didn't really understand that it was the little foxes that spoil the vine. And if we're not faithful in little things, that God will never be able to make us ruler over great things.
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
To compromise simply means that you go a tiny bit below what you know is right.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Stop giving someone else the job of making you happy.
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
Do yourself a favor and forgive anyone that has anything against you. Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Your fellowship with God flows freely when you're willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by unforgiveness.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God's Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
Joyce Meyer
Image
You gotta learn how to think right before you can live right.
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.
