I've seen god's power transform my own life, and he will do it for you.
00:00:06.496 --> 00:00:08.331

>> joyce: and so, i've been teaching this weekend, if this is your
00:00:11.901 --> 00:00:13.036
I've been teaching this weekend, if this is your first session, about
00:00:13.103 --> 00:00:14.437
This weekend, if this is your first session, about developing the character
00:00:14.504 --> 00:00:15.839
First session, about developing the character of god in your life.
00:00:15.905 --> 00:00:18.975
Developing the character of god in your life. our goal is actually to become
00:00:19.042 --> 00:00:21.177
Of god in your life. our goal is actually to become christ-like, like jesus.
00:00:21.244 --> 00:00:26.216
Our goal is actually to become christ-like, like jesus. the bible says that,
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:27.183
Christ-like, like jesus. the bible says that, "we are christ's ambassadors,
00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:33.056
The bible says that, "we are christ's ambassadors, that he is making his appeal
00:00:33.123 --> 00:00:34.924
"we are christ's ambassadors, that he is making his appeal to the world through us."
00:00:34.991 --> 00:00:36.292
That he is making his appeal to the world through us." now, i don't know what
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.161
To the world through us." now, i don't know what you think of that,
00:00:38.228 --> 00:00:38.962
Now, i don't know what you think of that, but that's--what a privilege,
00:00:39.028 --> 00:00:40.897
You think of that, but that's--what a privilege, but what a responsibility.
00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:44.734
But that's--what a privilege, but what a responsibility. i want you to think about this:
00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:45.835
But what a responsibility. i want you to think about this: you might be the only jesus,
00:00:45.902 --> 00:00:48.071
I want you to think about this: you might be the only jesus, that some of the people
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:49.339
You might be the only jesus, that some of the people you know will ever see.
00:00:49.405 --> 00:00:50.340
That some of the people you know will ever see. i'm not saying that you're
00:00:50.406 --> 00:00:51.307
You know will ever see. i'm not saying that you're jesus, but i'm saying that,
00:00:51.374 --> 00:00:54.144
I'm not saying that you're jesus, but i'm saying that, how are they gonna see him
00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:55.545
Jesus, but i'm saying that, how are they gonna see him if they don't see him
00:00:55.612 --> 00:00:56.846
How are they gonna see him if they don't see him through his people?
00:00:56.913 --> 00:01:00.383
If they don't see him through his people? >> [audience applauding]
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:04.254
Through his people? >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: we see jesus by faith.
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.656
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: we see jesus by faith. faith is an interesting thing,
00:01:06.723 --> 00:01:08.091
>> joyce: we see jesus by faith. faith is an interesting thing, it's beautiful.
00:01:08.158 --> 00:01:09.025
It's like, you believe something
00:01:09.092 --> 00:01:11.027
It's like, you believe something that you can't see,
00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:12.362
It's like, you believe something that you can't see, you can't feel, but you know,
00:01:12.428 --> 00:01:15.565
That you can't see, you can't feel, but you know, not in your head, but in your
00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:16.966
You can't feel, but you know, not in your head, but in your heart, you know, that you know,
00:01:17.033 --> 00:01:17.967
Not in your head, but in your heart, you know, that you know, that you know, that you know,
00:01:18.034 --> 00:01:18.968
Heart, you know, that you know, that you know, that you know, that it's real.
00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:21.971
That you know, that you know, that it's real. not one of us saw jesus die
00:01:22.038 --> 00:01:23.740
That it's real. not one of us saw jesus die on the cross, but boy, we're
00:01:23.806 --> 00:01:26.309
Not one of us saw jesus die on the cross, but boy, we're banking our whole life
00:01:26.376 --> 00:01:29.212
On the cross, but boy, we're banking our whole life on the fact that he did.
00:01:29.279 --> 00:01:32.515
Banking our whole life on the fact that he did. we're giving our whole life
00:01:32.582 --> 00:01:33.683
On the fact that he did. we're giving our whole life to something that we can't see
00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:36.753
We're giving our whole life to something that we can't see and didn't witness,
00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:37.520
To something that we can't see and didn't witness, but we believe it.
00:01:37.587 --> 00:01:39.322
And didn't witness, but we believe it. and as you grow in god,
00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:40.456
But we believe it. and as you grow in god, you begin to--you start with
00:01:40.523 --> 00:01:42.792
And as you grow in god, you begin to--you start with that believing that jesus died
00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:44.294
You begin to--you start with that believing that jesus died for you, but then as you grow
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:45.361
That believing that jesus died for you, but then as you grow in god, you begin to believe all
00:01:45.428 --> 00:01:47.030
For you, but then as you grow in god, you begin to believe all these other wonderful things:
00:01:47.096 --> 00:01:48.531
In god, you begin to believe all these other wonderful things: that he loves you, that you've
00:01:48.598 --> 00:01:51.234
These other wonderful things: that he loves you, that you've been made right with him
00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:52.335
That he loves you, that you've been made right with him through the blood of christ,
00:01:52.402 --> 00:01:53.403
Been made right with him through the blood of christ, that he has a good plan
00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:54.470
Through the blood of christ, that he has a good plan for your life, that he freely
00:01:54.537 --> 00:01:58.341
That he has a good plan for your life, that he freely and graciously forgives you,
00:01:58.408 --> 00:02:01.411
For your life, that he freely and graciously forgives you, anytime you do
00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:02.178
And graciously forgives you, anytime you do something wrong.
00:02:02.245 --> 00:02:04.914
So many wonderful things,
00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:07.717
So many wonderful things, that no matter what happens
00:02:07.784 --> 00:02:08.918
So many wonderful things, that no matter what happens to us, if we trust him,
00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:10.220
That no matter what happens to us, if we trust him, he can take it and work it out
00:02:10.286 --> 00:02:11.521
To us, if we trust him, he can take it and work it out for our good.
00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:13.523
He can take it and work it out for our good. i don't know why anybody
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:14.490
Wouldn't wanna serve god?
00:02:14.557 --> 00:02:15.525
Wouldn't wanna serve god? i mean, it's nothing but
00:02:15.592 --> 00:02:16.459
Wouldn't wanna serve god? i mean, it's nothing but a good deal.
00:02:16.526 --> 00:02:18.895
I mean, it's nothing but a good deal. amen?
00:02:18.962 --> 00:02:19.329
A good deal. amen? >> [audience applauding]
00:02:19.395 --> 00:02:21.331
Amen? >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: we get everything,
00:02:21.397 --> 00:02:22.165
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: we get everything, and jesus paid for it all.
00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:25.268
>> joyce: we get everything, and jesus paid for it all. you're not gonna get a deal
00:02:25.335 --> 00:02:26.402
And jesus paid for it all. you're not gonna get a deal like that anywhere else.
00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:29.639
You're not gonna get a deal like that anywhere else. and so, we're talking about
00:02:29.706 --> 00:02:31.174
Like that anywhere else. and so, we're talking about really spiritual maturity.
00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:33.543
And paul told the corinthian
00:02:34.544 --> 00:02:36.746
And paul told the corinthian church they were still babies,
00:02:36.813 --> 00:02:38.848
And paul told the corinthian church they were still babies, and that he could only
00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:39.649
Church they were still babies, and that he could only give them milk.
00:02:39.716 --> 00:02:41.184
And that he could only give them milk. he couldn't preach the kind
00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:42.318
Give them milk. he couldn't preach the kind of messages to them that
00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:43.453
He couldn't preach the kind of messages to them that he wanted to, because they
00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:46.389
Of messages to them that he wanted to, because they couldn't take it.
00:02:46.456 --> 00:02:47.056
He wanted to, because they couldn't take it. he said, "you're not
00:02:47.123 --> 00:02:47.690
Couldn't take it. he said, "you're not ready for it.
00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:48.324
He said, "you're not ready for it. you can't take it."
00:02:48.391 --> 00:02:50.059
And so, people that are baby
00:02:50.126 --> 00:02:52.695
And so, people that are baby christians only can hear stuff
00:02:52.762 --> 00:02:55.098
And so, people that are baby christians only can hear stuff that makes them feel good
00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:56.566
Christians only can hear stuff that makes them feel good and warm and fuzzy.
00:02:56.633 --> 00:02:58.768
That makes them feel good and warm and fuzzy. they can't hear things that
00:02:58.835 --> 00:03:00.203
And warm and fuzzy. they can't hear things that confront them, or that make
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:02.705
They can't hear things that confront them, or that make them really take a deeper
00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:03.840
Confront them, or that make them really take a deeper look at themselves.
00:03:03.906 --> 00:03:05.575
Them really take a deeper look at themselves. and so, that's what we've been
00:03:05.642 --> 00:03:06.709
Look at themselves. and so, that's what we've been trying to do here this weekend.
00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:09.445
And so, that's what we've been trying to do here this weekend. i told people, at the beginning
00:03:09.512 --> 00:03:10.647
Trying to do here this weekend. i told people, at the beginning of the year that worked for me,
00:03:10.713 --> 00:03:11.714
I told people, at the beginning of the year that worked for me, i said, "i intend to preach
00:03:11.781 --> 00:03:12.949
Of the year that worked for me, i said, "i intend to preach a lot this year on spiritual
00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:14.317
I said, "i intend to preach a lot this year on spiritual maturity, because frankly,
00:03:14.384 --> 00:03:15.818
A lot this year on spiritual maturity, because frankly, i don't know how much time
00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:16.686
Maturity, because frankly, i don't know how much time we got left."
00:03:16.753 --> 00:03:18.921
I don't know how much time we got left." and i feel like that i need
00:03:18.988 --> 00:03:21.124
We got left." and i feel like that i need to do, as a teacher and the
00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:23.760
And i feel like that i need to do, as a teacher and the position god's given me,
00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:25.328
To do, as a teacher and the position god's given me, and the number of people that
00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:26.562
Position god's given me, and the number of people that i get to reach through
00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:27.830
And the number of people that i get to reach through television, i feel like i have
00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:29.766
I get to reach through television, i feel like i have a responsibility, to not just
00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:34.504
Television, i feel like i have a responsibility, to not just tell you what you might like
00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:35.838
A responsibility, to not just tell you what you might like to hear, or the warm and
00:03:35.905 --> 00:03:37.106
Tell you what you might like to hear, or the warm and the fuzzies, but to tell you
00:03:37.173 --> 00:03:38.441
To hear, or the warm and the fuzzies, but to tell you what you need to hear, that will
00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:41.377
The fuzzies, but to tell you what you need to hear, that will move you as quickly as possible,
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:44.747
What you need to hear, that will move you as quickly as possible, to deeper levels in god.
00:03:44.814 --> 00:03:49.419
Move you as quickly as possible, to deeper levels in god. because people--people really
00:03:49.485 --> 00:03:53.122
To deeper levels in god. because people--people really who need jesus aren't going
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.390
Because people--people really who need jesus aren't going to church to find him.
00:03:54.457 --> 00:03:56.125
Who need jesus aren't going to church to find him. and sadly, they might
00:03:56.192 --> 00:03:57.527
To church to find him. and sadly, they might go to some churches,
00:03:57.593 --> 00:03:58.328
And sadly, they might go to some churches, and still not find him.
00:03:58.394 --> 00:04:03.299
Go to some churches, and still not find him. but boy, do you have
00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:04.200
And still not find him. but boy, do you have an opportunity.
00:04:04.267 --> 00:04:06.536
But boy, do you have an opportunity. because you see, god has--
00:04:06.602 --> 00:04:09.305
An opportunity. because you see, god has-- i believe god has his people
00:04:09.372 --> 00:04:11.507
Because you see, god has-- i believe god has his people literally planted everywhere.
00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:13.843
I believe god has his people literally planted everywhere. i really do.
00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:14.477
Literally planted everywhere. i really do. i think he's much more strategic
00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:16.346
I really do. i think he's much more strategic about this than what we might
00:04:16.412 --> 00:04:17.613
I think he's much more strategic about this than what we might even imagine.
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.317
About this than what we might even imagine. don't ever be down in the dumps
00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:22.652
Even imagine. don't ever be down in the dumps and say, "well, i'm the only
00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:23.886
Don't ever be down in the dumps and say, "well, i'm the only christian where i work."
00:04:23.953 --> 00:04:25.021
And say, "well, i'm the only christian where i work." well, thank god!
00:04:25.088 --> 00:04:28.458
Christian where i work." well, thank god! i mean, thank god there's one,
00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:30.193
Well, thank god! i mean, thank god there's one, thank god you're there.
00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:31.627
I mean, thank god there's one, thank god you're there. now, start praying a little
00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:34.230
Thank god you're there. now, start praying a little bit differently.
00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:34.864
Stop asking god all the time
00:04:35.398 --> 00:04:37.233
Stop asking god all the time for something you want,
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:38.935
Stop asking god all the time for something you want, and start every day asking him,
00:04:39.001 --> 00:04:40.937
For something you want, and start every day asking him, "god, what can i do for
00:04:41.003 --> 00:04:41.971
And start every day asking him, "god, what can i do for you today?"
00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:43.573
"god, what can i do for you today?" >> [audience applauding]
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.275
You today?" >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: to me, that's what
00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:47.610
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: to me, that's what spiritual maturity is.
00:04:47.677 --> 00:04:48.344
>> joyce: to me, that's what spiritual maturity is. we start out asking god for
00:04:48.411 --> 00:04:49.912
Spiritual maturity is. we start out asking god for everything: "god, fix this,
00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:51.748
We start out asking god for everything: "god, fix this, fix that, make that go away,
00:04:51.814 --> 00:04:53.216
Everything: "god, fix this, fix that, make that go away, change this, give me this,
00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:54.350
Fix that, make that go away, change this, give me this, give me that, give me
00:04:54.417 --> 00:04:55.118
Change this, give me this, give me that, give me something else."
00:04:55.184 --> 00:04:56.886
Give me that, give me something else." and then we hopefully make
00:04:56.953 --> 00:04:58.988
Something else." and then we hopefully make a full change to, "god, what
00:04:59.055 --> 00:05:04.293
And then we hopefully make a full change to, "god, what can i do for you today?"
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.029
A full change to, "god, what can i do for you today?" "put somebody in my path
00:05:07.096 --> 00:05:08.131
Can i do for you today?" "put somebody in my path that i can help."

That for a little bit today too, because that's another word we don't hear enough about.

Very important to me. and a lot of christians today don't even know what that is.
00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:19.001
God anointed a donkey
00:11:19.802 --> 00:11:21.437
God anointed a donkey to speak to a prophet.

00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:34.476
Would think, "well, god
00:12:34.543 --> 00:12:35.711
Would think, "well, god could never use you."
00:12:35.778 --> 00:12:37.112
Would think, "well, god could never use you." and then when they have to watch
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:38.414
Could never use you." and then when they have to watch him do it, they're left with,
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:43.152
And then when they have to watch him do it, they're left with, "well, it must be god."
00:12:43.219 --> 00:12:47.957
Him do it, they're left with, "well, it must be god." i remember when one of my good
00:12:48.023 --> 00:12:49.258
"well, it must be god." i remember when one of my good friends, when after god first
00:12:49.325 --> 00:12:50.893
I remember when one of my good friends, when after god first called me to teach,
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.928
Friends, when after god first called me to teach, and by the way,
00:12:52.995 --> 00:12:53.596
Called me to teach, and by the way, i wasn't looking for a ministry,
00:12:53.662 --> 00:12:54.864
And by the way, i wasn't looking for a ministry, i was making my bed.
00:12:54.930 --> 00:12:59.101
I wasn't looking for a ministry, i was making my bed. and i was listening to the
00:12:59.168 --> 00:13:00.836
I was making my bed. and i was listening to the first--it was a cassette tape
00:13:00.903 --> 00:13:02.137
And i was listening to the first--it was a cassette tape then--teaching cassette tape
00:13:02.204 --> 00:13:04.206
First--it was a cassette tape then--teaching cassette tape i'd ever heard.
00:13:04.273 --> 00:13:05.241
And it was about jesus
00:13:06.075 --> 00:13:08.177
And it was about jesus when he got in the boat,
00:13:08.244 --> 00:13:09.845
And it was about jesus when he got in the boat, and they had the storm.
00:13:09.912 --> 00:13:12.848
When he got in the boat, and they had the storm. but when he got in the boat
00:13:12.915 --> 00:13:13.883
And they had the storm. but when he got in the boat he said, "let us cross over
00:13:13.949 --> 00:13:15.150
But when he got in the boat he said, "let us cross over to the other side."
00:13:15.217 --> 00:13:17.386
He said, "let us cross over to the other side." and they had a hurricane
00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:18.821
To the other side." and they had a hurricane type proportion of a storm,
00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:23.626
And they had a hurricane type proportion of a storm, and the disciples got
00:13:23.692 --> 00:13:24.493
Type proportion of a storm, and the disciples got all afraid, and jesus
00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:25.561
And the disciples got all afraid, and jesus was asleep in the boat.
00:13:25.628 --> 00:13:26.729
All afraid, and jesus was asleep in the boat. but the thing i love most about
00:13:26.795 --> 00:13:28.664
Was asleep in the boat. but the thing i love most about that is, in chapter 5 verse 1,
00:13:28.731 --> 00:13:30.599
But the thing i love most about that is, in chapter 5 verse 1, it says, "and they arrived
00:13:30.666 --> 00:13:31.634
That is, in chapter 5 verse 1, it says, "and they arrived on the other side."
00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:34.103
It says, "and they arrived on the other side." so, when jesus said,
00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:36.305
On the other side." so, when jesus said, "let's go to the other side,"
00:13:36.372 --> 00:13:38.040
So, when jesus said, "let's go to the other side," it doesn't matter how many
00:13:38.107 --> 00:13:39.208
"let's go to the other side," it doesn't matter how many storms you have in the middle,
00:13:39.275 --> 00:13:40.109
It doesn't matter how many storms you have in the middle, you are going to eventually
00:13:40.175 --> 00:13:41.477
Storms you have in the middle, you are going to eventually end up on the other side.
00:13:41.543 --> 00:13:43.178
You are going to eventually end up on the other side. >> [audience cheering]
00:13:43.245 --> 00:13:47.850
End up on the other side. >> [audience cheering] >> joyce: i love that.
00:13:47.917 --> 00:13:49.184
>> [audience cheering] >> joyce: i love that. and when god spoke
00:13:49.251 --> 00:13:50.085
>> joyce: i love that. and when god spoke to my heart, he said,
00:13:50.152 --> 00:13:50.986
And when god spoke to my heart, he said, "you're going to go all over
00:13:51.053 --> 00:13:51.854
To my heart, he said, "you're going to go all over the world and teach my word."
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:53.589
"you're going to go all over the world and teach my word." well, that was so ridiculous.
00:13:53.656 --> 00:13:57.026
The world and teach my word." well, that was so ridiculous. but you know, when god speaks,
00:13:57.092 --> 00:14:00.663
Well, that was so ridiculous. but you know, when god speaks, it's different than a person
00:14:00.729 --> 00:14:01.931
But you know, when god speaks, it's different than a person speaking, and i believed it.
00:14:01.997 --> 00:14:06.001
It's different than a person speaking, and i believed it. i mean, if i looked at it
00:14:06.068 --> 00:14:07.236
Speaking, and i believed it. i mean, if i looked at it in the natural, it's like,
00:14:07.303 --> 00:14:08.971
I mean, if i looked at it in the natural, it's like, "who do you think you are?"
00:14:09.038 --> 00:14:10.039
And that's exactly what
00:14:10.105 --> 00:14:10.873
And that's exactly what people said to me,
00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:11.607
And that's exactly what people said to me, "who do you think you are?
00:14:11.674 --> 00:14:13.542
People said to me, "who do you think you are? you don't have

"who do you think you are? you don't have enough education?"

You don't have enough education?" a good friend of mine said,
00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:17.079
Enough education?" a good friend of mine said, "you don't have
00:14:17.146 --> 00:14:17.713
A good friend of mine said, "you don't have the right personality."
00:14:17.780 --> 00:14:20.849
"you don't have the right personality." well, she ended up working
00:14:20.916 --> 00:14:21.817
The right personality." well, she ended up working on my staff, which i thought
00:14:21.884 --> 00:14:22.885
Well, she ended up working on my staff, which i thought was kind of funny.

And i would rather have no theology degree in god's anointing, than to have

No theology degree in god's anointing, than to have a master's degree in theology

Times that we feel like we are just going through the motions

Just going through the motions in life and barely getting by.
00:23:07.542 --> 00:23:09.945
In life and barely getting by. well, let me tell you,
00:23:10.011 --> 00:23:11.112
Well, let me tell you, that's not how god
00:23:11.179 --> 00:23:12.647
That's not how god wants us to live.
00:23:12.714 --> 00:23:13.982
Jesus paid too big a price
00:23:14.883 --> 00:23:16.485
Jesus paid too big a price for us to remain defeated.
00:23:16.551 --> 00:23:18.720
For us to remain defeated. and like joyce says,
00:23:18.787 --> 00:23:20.522
And like joyce says, "god wants to heal
00:23:20.589 --> 00:23:22.090
"god wants to heal you everywhere you hurt,"
00:23:22.157 --> 00:23:24.526
You everywhere you hurt," because he wants
00:23:24.593 --> 00:23:25.627

You to enjoy the life he's given you.

You whole again. and there is not one

00:23:32.467 --> 00:23:33.635
Area in your life that is beyond his reach.
00:23:33.702 --> 00:23:34.870
Is beyond his reach. we have to apply
00:23:34.936 --> 00:23:36.304
We have to apply god's word to the areas
00:23:36.371 --> 00:23:37.873
God's word to the areas we want to see changed.
00:23:37.939 --> 00:23:39.274
