More From Joyce Meyer

Our Desire For Approval Can Only Truly Be Met By Receiving God’s Acceptance And Approval Of Us.

It Is Not That We Don't Have Faith It Is Just That Satan Is Trying To Destroy Our Faith With Lies.

The First Step To Forgiveness Is The Desire To Do It, No Matter How You Feel Toward The Person Who Hurt You. Then You Make The Decision To Do It Which Means It's A Firm Decision That Won't Change When Your Feelings Change. The Next Step Is To Depend On The Holy Spirit To Help You Do What You've Decided To Do.

Fear Is A Spirit That Produces A Feeling.

I Believe That People Need To Get Their Worth And Value From Knowing That God Loves Them. I Believe That All Healing In Our Inner Man And Even, We Know Christ Also Heals People's Physical Diseases, But The Bible Says He Heals Our Wounds And Bruises. Don't Worry About What's Wrong With You Right Now, God Accepts You Just The Way You Are And He Will Help You Be What He Wants You To Be.

Having Everything Your Way Is Highly Overrated.

God Has Blessed Me In Many Ways. Money Is Not The Greatest Blessing You Can Have, But I Literally Had Absolutely Nothing. The First Message That I Preached At Life In The Word, I Had To Borrow A Suit From My Pastor's Wife, Because I Didn't Have Any Decent Clothes, And I Was Driving A 20-year-old Car. We Went Through A Lot Of Years Of Having Nothing, Sleeping In Mcdonald's Parking Lots, Because We Didn't Have Money To Stay All Night In A Hotel. But, Like Anybody Else Who Works Hard And Is Diligent And Doesn't Quit And Doesn't Give Up, There Is A Day The Blessings Come.

Grace Is God Doing For Us What We Could Never Do And What We Will Never Deserve.

It Seems Like A Lot Of People Seek Their Peace In Things. And Most Of Us Are Not Even Satisfied With The Things We Have... We Always Want More.

If You Will Tend To God’s Business, He Will Tend To Yours.

Learn To Do Your Own Thinking - Don’t Let Other People Do It For You!

The Day We Receive Jesus Christ As Our Savior Is One Of The Greatest Days Of Our Lives. Not Only Are Our Sins Washed Away, But God Puts His Spirit Inside Of Us And Gives Us New Desires.

Many Christians Suffer Because They're Too Busy Seeking Carnal Knowledge Instead Of The Word Of God.

I Think That One Of The Things That Christianity Really Needs, And The Church Really Needs, Is Credibility. People Need To Be Able To Trust Us And They Need To Believe We Really Want To Help Them And That It's Not Just, I'm-doing-this-for-me Type Thing.

Good Intentions Never Change Anything. They Only Become A Deeper And Deeper Rut.

Good Intentions

[t]he Christian Is Unable To Sin And Not Care ... They May Sin, But They Cannot Do So Comfortably And Continually. They Are Very Much Aware Of Their Wrong Actions, And They Are Very Miserable.

Stay Active. Read The Word. Worship With Other Believers. Continue To Give. Keep Learning And Growing. Your Faith Will Be Unleashed!

God's Perfect, Unconditional Love And Faithfulness Are What Brought Me Through All Of The Healing, Restoration And Breakthroughs I Desperately Needed So I Could Become What He Created Me To Be!

Unconditional Love

Early On In My Life, I Had A Broken Soul. I Was Abused By My Father, Abandoned By My Mother And Ended Up In A Destructive First Marriage. By The Time I Was 23, I Was Broken In My Soul. I Didn't Know How To Think Right. I Felt Wrong About Everything. But God Stepped Into My Life, And I Came Out On The Other Side And Didn't Even Smell Like Smoke.

You Can Either Keep Walking In Misery Or Make The Decision To Begin Taking Steps Out Of It.

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.

Insignificant Things

People Often Ask Me How I Keep My Priorities Straight In Life And I Tell Them That It Is Done By Constantly Straightening Them Out!

The Devil Is No Longer Looking For An Open Door In Your Life. He Will Take Any Crack You Give Him.

Nobody Can Ever Say That Being Negative Ever Helped Them At All - Not In Any Way.

A Person Who Refuses To Give Up Will Always Succeed Eventually.

My Purpose In Life Is To Do Right And To Glorify God.

Purpose Of Life

Patience Is Not Just About Waiting For Something... It's About How You Wait, Or Your Attitude While Waiting.

If We Do Our Best, God Will Do The Rest.

It's Very Inexpensive To Give A Compliment.

Be Patient With Yourself Even When You Make Mistakes.

Making Mistakes

Keep Your Mind Going In The Right Direction, And Your Life Will Catch Up With It.

Right Direction

I Don't Want To Spend My Whole Life Talking About The Promised Land Without Ever Getting There. I Want To Live In It.

I Encourage You To Deliberately Look For Something To Smile Or Laugh About Every Day, And Be Sure To Share A Smile Or A Laugh With Someone Else And Brighten Their Day Too!

Go Beyond What You Feel Like Doing And Do What's Right. Every Time You Do What's Right When You Don't Feel Like It, You Are Growing.

I Believe That The Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Family And The World Is A Healthy You.

Patience Is A Fruit That Only Grows Under Trials.

Average Is Very Acceptable In Our Society But I Don't Think The Angels Are Applauding. If You Are Determined To Be Excellent, To Not Back Out Of It, You Will Reap A Harvest In Your Life.

There Are Two Kinds Of Pain: The Pain Of Change And The Pain Of Never Changing And Remaining The Same.

There Is Something You Can Do That No One Else Can Do Just Like You So Love Your Life!

You're Not Free, Unless You Come To The Place Where You Have Nothing To Prove.

I Learned That What Happened To Me Did Not Have To Define Who I Was. My Past Could Not Control My Future Unless I Allowed It To.

I Can Honestly Tell You That Without God I Would Not Be Who I Am Today. He Has Done Such An Amazing Work In My Life And I Want Everyone To Have The Same Freedom.

You Can Get Over A Broken Past If You Decide To Believe That There's Nothing In Your Past That Can Keep You From Having A Great Future.

Ask God For Help. Don't Think That You Can Handle This Yourself.

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.

God Is Able To Do Anything. All Things Are Possible With Him, But We Must Not Quit Praying.

God Not Only Sees Where You Are, He Sees Where You Can Be.

Decide That You Don’t Mind Being Inconvenienced Or Interrupted, And God Will Use You To Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

I Always Asked For Forgiveness For My Sins Right Away But I Never Accepted It Until I Felt Right That I Had Suffered Enough To Pay For It. God Revealed To Me What I Was Doing How Much Unnecessary Pain I Was Causing Myself. He Even Showed Me That What I Was Doing Was An Insult To Jesus That In Essence I Was Saying Lord The Sacrifice Of Your Life And Blood Was Good But Not Good Enough. I Must Add My Work Of Feeling Guilty Before I Can Be Forgiven.

When We Face Our Fears, We Can Find Our Freedom.

Keep Walking The Walk, One Step At A Time.

One Step At A Time

The Power Of God Is Available To You Today To Help You Do Whatever You Need To Do And With A Smile On Your Face!

Everything God Ever Asks You To Do, Even If It's Difficult, He Asks Because He Has Something Great In Mind For You.

Worry Increases Pressure; Prayer Releases Peace.

Don't Try To Change People. It Won't Work, And They Will End Up Resenting You. Only God Can Change People!

My Father Was A Negative Person. He Actually Taught Me To Be Negative, If That Makes Any Sense. I Remember Him Saying: 'you Know There's No Point In Expecting Anything Good To Happen Because It Won't.' I Grew Up In Such A Negative Atmosphere.

You Can Enjoy Anything If You Make Up Your Mind To.

I Was Tormented With Guilt For Years And Years. In Fact, It Was So Bad That If I Didn't Feel Wrong, I Didn't Feel Right!

If I Have To Build A Big Company By Mistreating Other People Then The Bible Says Woe To Me. I Don't Know What That Is, But I Don't Want Any Of It.

If You Can Help A Child, You Don't Have To Spend Years Repairing An Adult.

You Can Look At A Person's Attitude And Know What Kind Of Thinking Is Prevalent In His Life... It's Better To Be Positive And Wrong Than Negative And Right!

If You Know How To Worry, You Know How To Meditate. It Means To Think Of Something Over And Over.

It Pleases Our Heavenly Father When We Acknowledge And Confess To Him Our Inability To Run Our Own Lives. That Is What We Are Doing When We Say, "father, Help Me! I Need You!"

I Want To Dedicate The Rest Of My Life To Spreading The Love Of Christ. Because God Has Done So Much For Me And Has Given Me This Platform To Speak Into Millions Of Lives, I Feel It Is My Duty...

Although God Loves Us Unconditionally, He Does Get Angry At Sin, Wickedness And Evil. But He Is Not An Angry God. God Hates Sin, But He Loves Sinners! He Will Never Approve Of Sin In Your Life, But He Always Loves You And Wants To Work With You To Make Progress In Living A Holy Life In Christ.

Mercy Is The Stuff You Give To People That Don't Deserve It.

I Don't Really Have Many Hobbies But One Of My Favorite Things To Do Is Spend Time With My Family. We Have Fun Together, And Building Those Relationships Is Very Important To Me.

Place Your Desires Before God. Pray About Them And Trust God To Give Them To You If And When They’re Right For You.

The More Thankful You Are, The Happier You Will Be!

If Satan Can Defeat You In Your Thoughts Then He Can Defeat You Anywhere Else As Well.

Some People Have A Difficult Time Facing Truth And Reality. They Prefer To Live In A Make-believe World, Pretending That Certain Things Aren't Happening.

I'm Only Going To Stand Before God And Give An Account For My Life, Not For Somebody Else's Life. If I Have A Bad Attitude, Then I Need To Say There's No Point In Me Blaming You For What's Wrong In My Life.

When It Comes To Our Everyday Habits, It's Important To Ask: 'am I Putting God First?'

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.

It's Amazing If You Just Listen To People. They Tell You All The Time Things That You Can Do For Them, Without Even Realizing What They're Doing. I've Learned To Take Notice Of Those Things And If It's Something That I Feel God Wants Me To Do, Then I Try To Do That To Add Joy To Their Life.

If We Didn't Have To Stand Against Temptation, We'd Never Know Our Own Spiritual Strength.

Too Often We Spend Our Time In The Past Or The Future. We Need To Learn To Live Now - Mentally As Well As Physically And Spiritually.

I Can't Do Anything About My Past, But I Can Do A Lot To Cooperate With My Destiny. I Am Re-created In Christ Jesus, Born Anew, That I Might Do The Good Works That He Laid Out For Me And Live The Good Life.

You Would Be Better Off Having Nobody Than The Wrong Somebody. (on Marrying For The Wrong Reasons.)

Some People Have A Hard Time Getting Rid Of Stuff. If That's You, Pray For God To Give You The Courage To Get Rid Of Things You Don't Really Need Or Things He Wants You To Give Away. This Will Help Keep Your Surroundings Organized And Clutter-free.

If You're Not Careful To Think And Speak Words Of Faith, Worry Will Creep In, And It Will Not Only Steal Your Peace And Joy, It Will Steal Your 'today.' The Present Is The Greatest Gift God Ever Gives Us. So Hold On To The Peace That's Yours In Christ. Don't Let It Go.

When We Pray, We Open The Door For God To Come Into Our Problems And Situations And Work On Them.

Love Gives Life Purpose And Meaning.

Stop Comparing Yourself To Other People; You Are An Original. We Are All Different And It's Okay.

We Can Get Excited By Thinking About What All We Have Or Can Have, Or We Can Get Discouraged By Thinking About What All We Don't Have.

I Believe Confidence Is All About Being Positive Concerning What You Can Do -- And Not Worrying Over What You Can't Do. A Confident Person Is Open To Learning, Because She Knows That Her Confidence Allows Her To Walk Through Life's Doorways, Eager To Discover What Waits On The Other Side. She Knows That Every New Unknown Is A Chance To Learn More About Herself And Unleash Her Abilities.

It Is Amazing The Quality Of Human Beings That Are In This World If We Can Just Get Past People Not Dressing The Way We Want Them To Dress.

Your Joy Comes From How You Think, The Choices That We Make In Life.

Sometime We Get So Addicted To Murmuring About The Past And Blaming The Past For Everything That We Miss Our Whole Future. You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Future, And You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Right Now, If All You Can Do Is Be Guilty And Ashamed And Afraid Of Your Past.

There Is Nothing As Tragic As Being Alive And Not Enjoying Life... Life Should Be Celebrated!

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.

God Is A Great God! I Want To Encourage You To Expect Great Things From Him.

Do You Feel Disappointed Because Something You Planned Didn’t Work Out If So You Can Get Re-appointed Today. In God There Are Never Any Dead-ends Only Detours. Don’t Ever Give Up. Just Keep Trying Until You Succeed.

Every Day That Goes By Puts Us Closer To The Day When Christ Will Return.

Did You Know There's A Difference Between Being Busy And Being Fruitful? Did You Ever Stop To Think That Just Being Busy - Running Around In Circles All Day But Not Accomplishing Anything - Is The Same As Wasting Your Time? It's Frustrating To Expend So Much Energy And Time And Not Have Any Fruit From Your Effort!

When You Begin To Worry, Go Find Something To Do. Get Busy Being A Blessing To Someone; Do Something Fruitful. Talking About Your Problem Or Sitting Alone, Thinking About It, Does No Good; It Serves Only To Make You Miserable. Above All Else, Remember That Worrying Is Totally Useless. Worrying Will Not Solve Your Problem.

In The Midst Of Your Battles, Never Forget That God Loves You And He Has A Plan For You.

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.

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.

There Is No Power In Your Name Or My Name, But There Is Awesome Power In The Name Of Jesus Because Of Everything He Represents.

Faith Is A Decision We Make About Where We Are Going To Put Our Trust.

Decisions We Make

We're Not Like Robots. God Promises To Guide Us Through The Holy Spirit, But He Gives Us The Freedom To Make Our Own Decisions.

As You Pray For The Holy Spirit To Make You Aware Of Thoughts That Come Into Your Mind That Don't Line Up With God's Word, You'll Begin To Realize When Those Thoughts Come And You Can Renew Your Mind With The Word.

God's Grace Will Never Be Available To You To Become Another Person. He Created To Be You - The Best "you" You Can Be! Forget About Trying To Be Someone Else.

The Most Effective Prayers Are Usually The Simple Prayers.

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.

At School I Pretended I Had A Normal Life, But I Felt Lonely All The Time And Different From Everyone Else. I Never Felt Like I Fit In, And I Wasn't Allowed To Participate In After-school Activities, Go To Sports Events Or Parties Or Date Boys. Many Times I Had To Make Up Stories About Why I Couldn't Do Anything With My Classmates.

I Have Learned God Doesn't Always Change Those People We Want Him To Change; Instead, He Often Uses Them To Change Us.

You Can Have Jesus In Your Spirit And Have An Outrageous Mess In Your Soul, And If You Don't Know What That's Called, It's Called Religion.

Grace Equals Ability. God Gives Us Grace To Match Our Call. When We Do Our Own Thing, We Do It On Our Own. When We Follow His Leading, He Always Supplies The Grace And The Energy To Do What He's Calling Us To Do.

I Was Afraid To Let Other Make Any Decisions, Because I Had No Confidence They Would Be Concerned For Me.

Until We Accept And Approve Of Ourselves, No Amount Of Approval From Others Will Keep Us Permanently Secure.

Is Your Problem Really Your Problem, Or Is It Your Attitude Towards The Problem That's Your Problem?

I Believe That Everyone Experiences Depression To Some Degree At Some Time In Their Lives. And There Are Probably Millions Of People Who Live With A Low Level Of Sadness And Heaviness Day In And Day Out.

Nobody Has A Perfect Life And It's Entirely Possible That If You Want Someone Else's Life They Are Busy Wanting Someone Else's Too–maybe Even Yours.

Wanting Someone

God Has Gifted Me In Communication. He Has Given Me A Gift To Be Very Open About Myself, Which Seems To Really Help A Lot Of People. It's Not Even Anything I Do On Purpose. It's Just Something I Don't Have A Problem With. I Don't Care What You Know About Me If It Will Help You.

If We're Really Honest With Ourselves, Most Of Us Will Admit That We Want To Impress People, And This Is What's Causing Us To Do What We Do.

Not Everyone Loves Me, But I Have To Be Okay No Matter What They Think About Me.

Do You Look Forward To Going To Church, Or Is It Something You Do Out Of Obligation?

We Must Guard Against Allowing Anger To Drag Us Into Sin.

Most Of Us Have Hoped And Prayed For Something To Happen A Certain Way, But It Didn't. And When This Happened, We Had A Choice To Make: To React With Offense Toward God Or To Trust Him Anyway.

Courage Is Fear That Has Said Its Prayers And Decided To Go Forward Anyway.

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.

We Cannot Know God Apart From His Word.

The Right Timing Is Not Always Our Timing.

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.

Is All Anger Sin? No, But Some Of It Is. Even God Himself Has Righteous Anger Against Sin, Injustice, Rebellion And Pettiness.

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.

We Can't Control What Other People Do And How They Treat Us, But We Can Control Our Response To Them.

Satan Can Control You If You Let Outward Things Determine Your Security.

Do You Serve God Or Do You Serve Your Feelings? Believe The Word Of God Over And Above Your Feelings.

No Matter What's Going On In Our Lives, The Victory Is In Refusing To Quit.

My Heart Is To Help Hurting People. I Teach People God's Word So They Can Overcome Their Problems And Avoid Some Of The Tough Lessons I Had To Learn.

Many Times In Our Lives, We Are Dropped, Crumpled, And Ground Into Dirt By The Decisions We Make And The Circumstances That Come Our Way. We Feel As Though We Are Worthless. But No Matter What Has Happened Or What Will Happen, We Will Never Lose Our Value In God’s Eyes.

No Matter What Has Happened To You In The Past Or What Is Going On In Your Life Right Now, It Has No Power To Keep You From Having An Amazingly Good Future If You Will Walk By Faith In God. God Loves You! He Wants You To Live With Victory Over Sin So You Can Possess His Promises For Your Life Today!

The Devil Is A Peace Stealer, And He Works Hard To Set Us Up To Get Upset. But We Can Learn How To Change Our Approach So We Don't Live Upset All Of The Time. And Jesus Gives Us The Best Example To Follow.

So Often, We Blame Other People When, Really, The Problem Is Right Down In Here. I'm Not Happy. I Don't Know What's Wrong. If I Just Had Another Job, I Could Be Happy. If I Just Get Married, I Would Be Happy. Well If I Just Wasn't Married, I Would Be Happy. Well, If I Just Had Some Kids, I'll Be Happy. I'll Be Happy When These Kids Finally Grow Up And Get Out Of Here. If I Had A Bigger House, I Would Be Happy. Well, I Got A Big House. Now If I Just Had A Maid To Clean, I'd Be Happy. Well, Now If I Just Had A Maid I Could Get Along With Better, I'd Be Happy.

The Truth Is, Anyone Can Start Projects. The World Is Full Of Just-started Projects That Looked Great At The Time But Were Never Completed.

If You're Fighting Moodiness And Depression You Don't Want To Hang Around A Bunch Of Other Moody And Depressed People.

Even Though God Loves Us, We Still Have A Problem: Sin. It's Important For Us To Learn How To Confront Sin And Overcome It, Because While God Loves Sinners, He Hates Sin. And He Hates It Because Of What It Does To Us And How It Keeps Us From The Abundant Life Jesus Died To Give Us.

Don't Complain. The Israelites Wasted Forty Years Murmuring And Complaining In The Wilderness, When They Could Have Just Obeyed God And Entered Into Their Promised Land.

Christianity Is About The Heart, And The Bible Says That We Cannot Get To Heaven On Our Own Good Works. No Matter How Good We Are, We Cannot Be Good Enough, Because God Is Perfect, And We're Always Going To Be Less Than Perfect.

When Someone Gives You Offense, It Doesn't Mean You Have To Take It.

We Don't Think There's Something Wrong With One- Year-old Children Because They Can't Walk Perfectly. They Fall Down Frequently, But We Pick Them Up, Love Them, Bandage Them If Necessary, And Keep Working With Them. Surely Our Heavenly Father Can Do Even More For Us Than We Do For Our Children.

And I Can Guarantee You, Just Because You Don't Deal With Something, That Doesn't Make It Go Away.
