>> joyce: well, thank you for joining us today on "enjoying everyday life."
00:00:37.494 --> 00:00:40.196
For joining us today on "enjoying everyday life." are you enjoying your life?
00:00:40.263 --> 00:00:42.398
I think sometimes
00:00:42.932 --> 00:00:43.633
I think sometimes we get so busy, caught
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:44.734
I think sometimes we get so busy, caught up in the everyday business
00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:46.703
We get so busy, caught up in the everyday business of life that we don't even
00:00:46.769 --> 00:00:49.139
Up in the everyday business of life that we don't even know if we're enjoying our life.
00:00:49.205 --> 00:00:51.474
Of life that we don't even know if we're enjoying our life. and enjoying your life doesn't
00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:52.809
Know if we're enjoying our life. and enjoying your life doesn't necessarily mean you went
00:00:52.876 --> 00:00:54.878
And enjoying your life doesn't necessarily mean you went on three vacations this year,
00:00:54.944 --> 00:00:56.346
Necessarily mean you went on three vacations this year, or you got to spend a lot
00:00:56.412 --> 00:00:57.680
On three vacations this year, or you got to spend a lot of money on something
00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:58.481
Or you got to spend a lot of money on something you wanted.
00:00:58.548 --> 00:01:00.016
Of money on something you wanted. it's a quiet contentment where
00:01:00.083 --> 00:01:01.651
You wanted. it's a quiet contentment where you can enjoy really anything,
00:01:01.718 --> 00:01:06.689
It's a quiet contentment where you can enjoy really anything, anywhere you're at.
00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.558
Thank god, over the years,
00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:10.894

00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:15.698
And i can be pretty content and happy wherever i am. but it took a lot of work.
00:01:15.765 --> 00:01:18.835
And happy wherever i am. but it took a lot of work. and that's what i wanna

On sunday morning and get a 20 or a 30-minute sermon. you need the word every day.
00:01:59.876 --> 00:02:04.247
A 20 or a 30-minute sermon. you need the word every day. how much of it you feel
00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:06.182
You need the word every day. how much of it you feel you have time to get,
00:02:06.249 --> 00:02:08.618

You find time to do what you really wanna do. and i mean,
00:02:14.624 --> 00:02:17.026
You really wanna do. and i mean, i've studied the word
00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:17.827
And i mean, i've studied the word for 49 years and i still get
00:02:17.894 --> 00:02:21.331
I've studied the word for 49 years and i still get the word in me every day,
00:02:21.397 --> 00:02:22.465
For 49 years and i still get the word in me every day, some way.
00:02:22.532 --> 00:02:24.801
The word in me every day, some way. it took me so long to get
00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:26.469
Some way. it took me so long to get to the point where i didn't
00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:27.770
It took me so long to get to the point where i didn't feel guilty every time,
00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:29.405
To the point where i didn't feel guilty every time, i made a mistake.
00:02:29.472 --> 00:02:31.674
Feel guilty every time, i made a mistake. and i hate to see people
00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:33.042
I made a mistake. and i hate to see people just waste their life
00:02:33.109 --> 00:02:33.943
And i hate to see people just waste their life feeling guilty all the time.
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:35.445
Just waste their life feeling guilty all the time. because there's something
00:02:35.511 --> 00:02:36.346
Feeling guilty all the time. because there's something you can feel guilty about
00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:37.280
Because there's something you can feel guilty about every day if you want
00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:38.147
You can feel guilty about every day if you want to live on that track.
00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:40.049
Every day if you want to live on that track. amen?
00:02:40.116 --> 00:02:41.985
To live on that track. amen? and i started feeling guilty
00:02:42.051 --> 00:02:43.286
Amen? and i started feeling guilty as a kid when my dad was
00:02:43.353 --> 00:02:44.487
And i started feeling guilty as a kid when my dad was abusing me because the devil
00:02:44.554 --> 00:02:46.823
As a kid when my dad was abusing me because the devil told me it was my fault.
00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:50.059
Abusing me because the devil told me it was my fault. which, how can a five--
00:02:50.126 --> 00:02:50.893
Told me it was my fault. which, how can a five-- or six-year-old kid possibly
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.362
Which, how can a five-- or six-year-old kid possibly think that an adult abusing
00:02:52.428 --> 00:02:53.830
Or six-year-old kid possibly think that an adult abusing them is their fault?
00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:54.697
Think that an adult abusing them is their fault? but you always think
00:02:54.764 --> 00:02:56.899
Them is their fault? but you always think if somebody mistreats you,
00:02:56.966 --> 00:02:58.434
But you always think if somebody mistreats you, there's something
00:02:58.501 --> 00:02:59.068
If somebody mistreats you, there's something wrong with you.
00:02:59.135 --> 00:03:01.638
"i must not be good enough
00:03:02.272 --> 00:03:04.107
"i must not be good enough to be a daughter" because
00:03:04.173 --> 00:03:07.210
"i must not be good enough to be a daughter" because i've been rejected as a daughter
00:03:07.277 --> 00:03:10.480
To be a daughter" because i've been rejected as a daughter and taken for something else.
00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:12.181
I've been rejected as a daughter and taken for something else. and so, i felt guilty.
00:03:12.248 --> 00:03:13.449
And taken for something else. and so, i felt guilty. like, i heard this record
00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:15.251
And so, i felt guilty. like, i heard this record in my head for years:
00:03:15.318 --> 00:03:17.220
Like, i heard this record in my head for years: "what's wrong with you?
00:03:17.287 --> 00:03:18.721
In my head for years: "what's wrong with you? what's wrong with you?
00:03:18.788 --> 00:03:19.522
"what's wrong with you? what's wrong with you? what's wrong with you?"
00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:20.990
What's wrong with you? what's wrong with you?" and i so desperately wanted
00:03:21.057 --> 00:03:22.325
What's wrong with you?" and i so desperately wanted to know what was wrong with me.
00:03:22.392 --> 00:03:24.827
And i so desperately wanted to know what was wrong with me. so, then i come into this
00:03:24.894 --> 00:03:26.329
To know what was wrong with me. so, then i come into this relationship with god,
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:28.498
So, then i come into this relationship with god, loved him with all my heart,
00:03:28.564 --> 00:03:31.634
So much, wanted to do what
00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:32.535
So much, wanted to do what he wanted me to do,
00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:34.270
So much, wanted to do what he wanted me to do, but i carried
00:03:34.337 --> 00:03:34.937
He wanted me to do, but i carried it to the same extreme.
00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:37.206
But i carried it to the same extreme. i was trying to change myself.
00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:41.477
It to the same extreme. i was trying to change myself. and i was reading in galatians,
00:03:41.544 --> 00:03:46.082
I was trying to change myself. and i was reading in galatians, chapter 3:
00:03:46.149 --> 00:03:47.884
"o you poor
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.187
"o you poor and silly and thoughtless
00:03:51.254 --> 00:03:52.288
"o you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting
00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:53.089
And silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless galatians.
00:03:53.156 --> 00:03:57.894
And unreflecting and senseless galatians. who has fascinated or bewitched
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.329
And senseless galatians. who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, whom--

Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, whom-- right before your very eyes--
00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:02.131
Or cast a spell over you, whom-- right before your very eyes-- jesus christ (the messiah)
00:04:02.198 --> 00:04:03.866
Right before your very eyes-- jesus christ (the messiah) was openly and graphically
00:04:03.933 --> 00:04:05.435
Jesus christ (the messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed
00:04:05.501 --> 00:04:06.836
Was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?"
00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:08.838

Saw the crucifixion. and he said, "what is wrong with you?"
00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:14.243
And he said, "what is wrong with you?" "let me ask you one question:

With you?" "let me ask you one question: did you receive the

Did you receive the [holy] spirit as the result of obeying the law and doing
00:04:19.849 --> 00:04:20.950
[holy] spirit as the result of obeying the law and doing its works, or was it by hearing

Of obeying the law and doing its works, or was it by hearing [the message of the gospel]

All right, now listen. this was a life-changing point for me.
00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:36.733
This was a life-changing point for me. "are you so foolish

Point for me. "are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly?
00:04:37.700 --> 00:04:39.168
"are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? having begun [your new life
00:04:39.235 --> 00:04:42.038
And so senseless and so silly? having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [holy]

Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?"
00:04:45.441 --> 00:04:50.146

Turning point for me. some of you that were around when i first started teaching

How excited i was. it was like, "wow." i began my new life with christ

I began my new life with christ just by total faith in him, actually coming

00:05:23.179 --> 00:05:24.013
And i was talking to the lord, and i just said, "i can't go on like this."
00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:27.250
And i just said, "i can't go on like this." i had come to the end of myself,
00:05:27.316 --> 00:05:28.684
"i can't go on like this." i had come to the end of myself, and i think many times
00:05:28.751 --> 00:05:29.652
I had come to the end of myself, and i think many times we must come to the end
00:05:29.719 --> 00:05:30.686
And i think many times we must come to the end of ourself before
00:05:30.753 --> 00:05:31.554
We must come to the end of ourself before god can do anything.
00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:32.588
Of ourself before god can do anything. >> audience: amen.
00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:34.390
God can do anything. >> audience: amen. >> joyce: and it wasn't just

00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:36.993
>> joyce: and it wasn't just like one of those threats we, "oh, i give up."
00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:39.562
Like one of those threats we, "oh, i give up." no, i meant it, like,
00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:41.364
"oh, i give up." no, i meant it, like, "i can't do this anymore."
00:05:41.431 --> 00:05:44.233
No, i meant it, like, "i can't do this anymore." you know something?
00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:45.067
"i can't do this anymore." you know something? living the christian life
00:05:45.134 --> 00:05:47.103
You know something? living the christian life is not hard; it's impossible.
00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:51.407
Living the christian life is not hard; it's impossible. >> [audience agreeing]
00:05:51.474 --> 00:05:53.543
Is not hard; it's impossible. >> [audience agreeing] >> joyce: because you
00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:54.210
>> [audience agreeing] >> joyce: because you can't live it.
00:05:54.277 --> 00:05:55.812
>> joyce: because you can't live it. god has to live it through you.
00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:57.079
Can't live it. god has to live it through you. >> audience member: amen,
00:05:57.146 --> 00:05:58.314
God has to live it through you. >> audience member: amen, that's good.
00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:00.016
>> audience member: amen, that's good. >> joyce: so, there's no point
00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:00.883
That's good. >> joyce: so, there's no point in saying, "this is hard."
00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:01.918
>> joyce: so, there's no point in saying, "this is hard." just say, "this is impossible."
00:06:01.984 --> 00:06:05.521
In saying, "this is hard." just say, "this is impossible." and then you cry out to god,
00:06:05.588 --> 00:06:07.423
Just say, "this is impossible." and then you cry out to god, and you lean on him.
00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:08.491
And then you cry out to god, and you lean on him. and so, what i should have done
00:06:08.558 --> 00:06:10.560
And you lean on him. and so, what i should have done was hear the message about
00:06:10.626 --> 00:06:11.961
And so, what i should have done was hear the message about the mouth and pray and say,
00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:14.063
Was hear the message about the mouth and pray and say, "god, i feel convicted
00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:15.064
The mouth and pray and say, "god, i feel convicted by that word.
00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:15.698
"god, i feel convicted by that word. i do need to change.
00:06:15.765 --> 00:06:16.799
By that word. i do need to change. will you change me?"
00:06:16.866 --> 00:06:19.869
I do need to change. will you change me?" and then go home
00:06:19.936 --> 00:06:20.570
Will you change me?" and then go home and wait to see what he did?
00:06:20.636 --> 00:06:24.640
And then go home and wait to see what he did? and our part is to study
00:06:24.707 --> 00:06:25.741
And wait to see what he did? and our part is to study the word and to pray.
00:06:25.808 --> 00:06:27.477
And our part is to study the word and to pray. i should have studied everything
00:06:27.543 --> 00:06:28.811
The word and to pray. i should have studied everything i could find about the mouth
00:06:28.878 --> 00:06:31.314
I should have studied everything i could find about the mouth because the word has
00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:32.215
I could find about the mouth because the word has inherent power in it.
00:06:32.281 --> 00:06:34.317
Because the word has inherent power in it. >> audience: yes.
00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:35.318
Inherent power in it. >> audience: yes. >> joyce: it's full of power.
00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:37.820
>> audience: yes. >> joyce: it's full of power. isn't that wonderful?
00:06:37.887 --> 00:06:39.388
You began your life
00:06:40.156 --> 00:06:40.957
You began your life spiritually by believing.
00:06:41.023 --> 00:06:43.793
You began your life spiritually by believing. do you really seriously think
00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:45.661
Spiritually by believing. do you really seriously think you're gonna reach perfection
00:06:45.728 --> 00:06:46.863
Do you really seriously think you're gonna reach perfection by dependence on the flesh?
00:06:46.929 --> 00:06:49.565
You're gonna reach perfection by dependence on the flesh? we can't do that.
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:51.834
And so, this transformation that
00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:53.836
And so, this transformation that god says has to happen in us--
00:06:53.903 --> 00:06:56.105
And so, this transformation that god says has to happen in us-- the changing of the soul
00:06:56.172 --> 00:06:57.740
God says has to happen in us-- the changing of the soul is for your will to come
00:06:57.807 --> 00:07:01.010
The changing of the soul is for your will to come in line with god's will.
00:07:01.077 --> 00:07:03.980
Is for your will to come in line with god's will. i think that's what
00:07:04.046 --> 00:07:04.881
In line with god's will. i think that's what we are to use our will for.
00:07:04.947 --> 00:07:06.315
I think that's what we are to use our will for. we use our will to come into
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:08.351
We are to use our will for. we use our will to come into agreement with god's will.
00:07:08.417 --> 00:07:11.254
We use our will to come into agreement with god's will. "i don't want to do this,
00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:12.188
Agreement with god's will. "i don't want to do this, but i will to do it because
00:07:12.255 --> 00:07:13.523
"i don't want to do this, but i will to do it because i know it's what you
00:07:13.589 --> 00:07:14.423
But i will to do it because i know it's what you want me to do.
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.325
And i may not
00:07:16.859 --> 00:07:17.493
And i may not wanna do the thing,
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.261
And i may not wanna do the thing, but i wanna please you,
00:07:18.327 --> 00:07:19.328
Wanna do the thing, but i wanna please you, so, i'm willing to do it."
00:07:19.395 --> 00:07:22.665
But i wanna please you, so, i'm willing to do it." and if you're not willing,
00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:23.533
So, i'm willing to do it." and if you're not willing, pray, "god, make me willing
00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:24.834
And if you're not willing, pray, "god, make me willing to be willing."
00:07:24.901 --> 00:07:28.638
Pray, "god, make me willing to be willing." and then you got these
00:07:28.704 --> 00:07:29.372
To be willing." and then you got these emotions that we gotta
00:07:29.438 --> 00:07:32.508
And then you got these emotions that we gotta get under control.
00:07:32.575 --> 00:07:34.443
Emotions that we gotta get under control. amen?
00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:35.578

Amen? and our emotion gets us in so much trouble.

And our emotion gets us in so much trouble. our mind and our emotions.

Us in so much trouble. our mind and our emotions. get your mind renewed.

Our mind and our emotions. get your mind renewed. work with god to get your

Get your mind renewed. work with god to get your emotions under control.

Work with god to get your emotions under control. and when is it the hardest
00:07:45.288 --> 00:07:46.389
Emotions under control. and when is it the hardest to control your emotions?
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:47.557
And when is it the hardest to control your emotions? when you have problems.
00:07:47.623 --> 00:07:53.029
To control your emotions? when you have problems. i remember when, before i--

In the dark, in hard times, when nobody was coming to hear me say anything.
