>> joyce: the enemy so often
00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:01.825
>> joyce: the enemy so often thinks he's doing harm,
00:00:01.891 --> 00:00:03.126
>> joyce: the enemy so often thinks he's doing harm, when really he's just
00:00:03.193 --> 00:00:04.060
Thinks he's doing harm, when really he's just making something better.
00:00:04.127 --> 00:00:05.762
When really he's just making something better. god will turn it around and make
00:00:05.829 --> 00:00:07.664
Making something better. god will turn it around and make something better out of it.
00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:08.998
God will turn it around and make something better out of it. and he thinks he won,
00:00:09.065 --> 00:00:09.966
Something better out of it. and he thinks he won, but he really lost.
00:00:10.033 --> 00:00:11.167
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer,
00:00:12.102 --> 00:00:13.470
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can
00:00:13.536 --> 00:00:15.538
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can heal you everywhere you hurt.
00:00:15.605 --> 00:00:18.374
>> [audience applauding]
00:00:21.144 --> 00:00:22.612
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: well, thank you
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:23.680
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: well, thank you for joining me today on
00:00:23.746 --> 00:00:24.547
>> joyce: well, thank you for joining me today on "enjoying everyday life."
00:00:24.614 --> 00:00:26.716
For joining me today on "enjoying everyday life." who doesn't wanna do that?
00:00:26.783 --> 00:00:28.151
"enjoying everyday life." who doesn't wanna do that? we all wanna enjoy every
00:00:28.218 --> 00:00:28.885
Who doesn't wanna do that? we all wanna enjoy every single day of our life.
00:00:28.952 --> 00:00:31.688
We all wanna enjoy every single day of our life. yet, it seems like trouble
00:00:31.754 --> 00:00:33.389
Single day of our life. yet, it seems like trouble some days gets in our way.
00:00:33.456 --> 00:00:35.792
Yet, it seems like trouble some days gets in our way. so part of learning
00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:36.793
Some days gets in our way. so part of learning the word of god is learning
00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:38.194
So part of learning the word of god is learning how to live above that trouble,
00:00:38.261 --> 00:00:41.264
The word of god is learning how to live above that trouble, knowing that god's taking
00:00:41.331 --> 00:00:42.465
How to live above that trouble, knowing that god's taking care of it and still
00:00:42.532 --> 00:00:45.001
Knowing that god's taking care of it and still have joy and peace.
00:00:45.068 --> 00:00:46.936
Care of it and still have joy and peace. i'm still practicing.
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:47.937
Have joy and peace. i'm still practicing. what about you?
00:00:48.004 --> 00:00:49.906
Today, i want to talk
00:00:50.473 --> 00:00:51.241
Today, i want to talk to you about, actually a very--
00:00:51.307 --> 00:00:54.711
Today, i want to talk to you about, actually a very-- i think one of the most
00:00:54.777 --> 00:00:55.578
To you about, actually a very-- i think one of the most important messages
00:00:55.645 --> 00:00:56.813
I think one of the most important messages that people need to hear.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.481
Important messages that people need to hear. and it's simply: what do you
00:00:58.548 --> 00:01:00.283
That people need to hear. and it's simply: what do you think of yourself?
00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:04.821
And it's simply: what do you think of yourself? 'cause, you know,
00:01:04.888 --> 00:01:05.455
Think of yourself? 'cause, you know, it really doesn't matter what--
00:01:05.522 --> 00:01:06.723
'cause, you know, it really doesn't matter what-- what anybody else thinks
00:01:06.789 --> 00:01:07.824
It really doesn't matter what-- what anybody else thinks of you, can't harm you.
00:01:07.891 --> 00:01:12.795
What anybody else thinks of you, can't harm you. doesn't have anything
00:01:12.862 --> 00:01:13.463
Of you, can't harm you. doesn't have anything to do with your destiny.
00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.232
Doesn't have anything to do with your destiny. we have to learn how to not
00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:17.333
To do with your destiny. we have to learn how to not let what they say bother us.
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.371
We have to learn how to not let what they say bother us. 'cause just because they say it,
00:01:21.437 --> 00:01:22.705
Let what they say bother us. 'cause just because they say it, doesn't mean it's right.
00:01:22.772 --> 00:01:23.573
'cause just because they say it, doesn't mean it's right. correct?
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:24.908
Doesn't mean it's right. correct? but it is important what
00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:27.310
Correct? but it is important what you think of yourself.
00:01:27.377 --> 00:01:29.879
But it is important what you think of yourself. and a lot of times i don't think
00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:32.549
You think of yourself. and a lot of times i don't think that people have ever even
00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:34.350
And a lot of times i don't think that people have ever even thought about what they
00:01:34.417 --> 00:01:35.185
That people have ever even thought about what they think about themselves.
00:01:35.251 --> 00:01:38.588
Thought about what they think about themselves. i know when this idea was
00:01:38.655 --> 00:01:39.722
Think about themselves. i know when this idea was first introduced to me by god,
00:01:39.789 --> 00:01:42.892
I know when this idea was first introduced to me by god, i don't know that i had ever
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:43.893
First introduced to me by god, i don't know that i had ever really seriously thought about
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:45.795
What i thought about myself.
00:01:45.862 --> 00:01:46.896
What i thought about myself. but when i did think about it,
00:01:46.963 --> 00:01:48.231
What i thought about myself. but when i did think about it, i realized i didn't think
00:01:48.298 --> 00:01:49.365
But when i did think about it, i realized i didn't think very highly of myself.
00:01:49.432 --> 00:01:52.869
I realized i didn't think very highly of myself. i judged myself
00:01:52.936 --> 00:01:53.903
Very highly of myself. i judged myself by all my mistakes,
00:01:53.970 --> 00:01:55.004
I judged myself by all my mistakes, and what people thought of me,
00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:56.873
By all my mistakes, and what people thought of me, and what i didn't like about
00:01:56.940 --> 00:02:02.111
And what people thought of me, and what i didn't like about this thing that i looked like,
00:02:02.178 --> 00:02:03.746
And what i didn't like about this thing that i looked like, or that thing that
00:02:03.813 --> 00:02:04.814
This thing that i looked like, or that thing that i looked like.
00:02:04.881 --> 00:02:05.548
Or that thing that i looked like. and we can never really have
00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:08.284
I looked like. and we can never really have peace with anybody else until
00:02:08.351 --> 00:02:09.852
And we can never really have peace with anybody else until we have peace with ourself.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.889
Peace with anybody else until we have peace with ourself. one of my favorite sayings is,
00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:14.123
We have peace with ourself. one of my favorite sayings is, "you cannot give away
00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:15.124
One of my favorite sayings is, "you cannot give away what you don't have."
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:17.527
That's why god gives
00:02:18.528 --> 00:02:19.829
That's why god gives us righteousness before
00:02:19.896 --> 00:02:23.132
That's why god gives us righteousness before we ever do things right.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.635
Us righteousness before we ever do things right. and then he tells
00:02:25.702 --> 00:02:26.469
We ever do things right. and then he tells us to do things right,
00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:31.040
And then he tells us to do things right, but we're able to draw them from
00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:32.475
Us to do things right, but we're able to draw them from the righteousness that's in us.
00:02:32.542 --> 00:02:35.044
He never tells us to do anything
00:02:35.111 --> 00:02:37.247
He never tells us to do anything that he doesn't give us what
00:02:37.313 --> 00:02:38.648
He never tells us to do anything that he doesn't give us what we need to do it with.
00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:41.684
That he doesn't give us what we need to do it with. so, it's in there.
00:02:41.751 --> 00:02:43.453
We need to do it with. so, it's in there. but before we talk about
00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:44.387
So, it's in there. but before we talk about what you think of yourself,
00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:45.555
But before we talk about what you think of yourself, i wanna ask you, what do you
00:02:45.622 --> 00:02:46.656
What you think of yourself, i wanna ask you, what do you think god thinks about you?
00:02:46.723 --> 00:02:50.627
I wanna ask you, what do you think god thinks about you? 'cause, see, we need to learn
00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:51.628
Think god thinks about you? 'cause, see, we need to learn to think like god thinks.
00:02:51.694 --> 00:02:52.829
'cause, see, we need to learn to think like god thinks. so if i wanna know
00:02:52.895 --> 00:02:55.131
To think like god thinks. so if i wanna know that i'm being accurate
00:02:55.198 --> 00:02:56.432
So if i wanna know that i'm being accurate in what i think about myself,
00:02:56.499 --> 00:02:57.800
That i'm being accurate in what i think about myself, i need to see what
00:02:57.867 --> 00:02:58.601
In what i think about myself, i need to see what god thinks about me.
00:02:58.668 --> 00:03:01.437
I need to see what god thinks about me. so, first of all,
00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:02.905
God thinks about me. so, first of all, god does think about you,
00:03:02.972 --> 00:03:04.407
So, first of all, god does think about you, and he thinks about
00:03:04.474 --> 00:03:05.708
God does think about you, and he thinks about you all the time.
00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:07.944
Now, you know,
00:03:08.544 --> 00:03:09.012
Now, you know, some of these things are
00:03:09.078 --> 00:03:09.746
Now, you know, some of these things are kinda hard to grasp because
00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:13.916
Some of these things are kinda hard to grasp because even when i was sitting back
00:03:13.983 --> 00:03:15.485
Kinda hard to grasp because even when i was sitting back there preparing a little bit,
00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:17.287
Even when i was sitting back there preparing a little bit, i thought, "god thinks about
00:03:17.353 --> 00:03:19.255
There preparing a little bit, i thought, "god thinks about me all the time.
00:03:19.322 --> 00:03:22.492
I thought, "god thinks about me all the time. he's got so many things
00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:23.493
Me all the time. he's got so many things to take care of.
00:03:23.559 --> 00:03:25.528
He's got so many things to take care of. how could he possibly
00:03:25.595 --> 00:03:26.329
To take care of. how could he possibly think about me all the time?"
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:29.766
But see, that's where--and we've
00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:31.067
But see, that's where--and we've heard this thousands of times,
00:03:31.134 --> 00:03:32.201
But see, that's where--and we've heard this thousands of times, as a christian, you believe
00:03:32.268 --> 00:03:35.305
Heard this thousands of times, as a christian, you believe the word above what you see,
00:03:35.371 --> 00:03:37.940
As a christian, you believe the word above what you see, or feel, or think,
00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:39.242
The word above what you see, or feel, or think, or can reason out.
00:03:39.309 --> 00:03:41.344
Or feel, or think, or can reason out. that's one of the reasons
00:03:41.411 --> 00:03:42.812
Or can reason out. that's one of the reasons why some people don't believe
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.949
That's one of the reasons why some people don't believe in god is because a lot
00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:50.286
Why some people don't believe in god is because a lot of what the bible says
00:03:50.353 --> 00:03:51.120
In god is because a lot of what the bible says doesn't make any sense.
00:03:51.187 --> 00:03:54.290
Of what the bible says doesn't make any sense. what sense does it make
00:03:54.357 --> 00:03:55.625
Doesn't make any sense. what sense does it make if you want more,
00:03:55.692 --> 00:03:56.326
What sense does it make if you want more, to give away some
00:03:56.392 --> 00:03:56.959
If you want more, to give away some of what you have?
00:03:57.026 --> 00:03:59.362
To give away some of what you have? "no, if i give it away,
00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:00.263
Of what you have? "no, if i give it away, i'll lose."
00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:01.130
"no, if i give it away, i'll lose." no, you'll gain.
00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:03.099
I'll lose." no, you'll gain. or that the first'll be last
00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:04.434
No, you'll gain. or that the first'll be last and the last'll be first.
00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.536
There's just so many things
00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:09.005
There's just so many things that don't make any sense.
00:04:09.072 --> 00:04:10.740
That don't make any sense. and that's why we have to--
00:04:10.807 --> 00:04:13.643
And that's why we have to-- i read a statement recently
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:15.044
I read a statement recently by a well-known preacher
00:04:15.111 --> 00:04:17.413
By a well-known preacher from the past that said,
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.381
From the past that said, "faith is reason
00:04:18.448 --> 00:04:19.949
"faith is reason at rest before god."
00:04:20.016 --> 00:04:24.520
At rest before god." faith is reason
00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:25.922
In other words,
00:04:28.558 --> 00:04:29.525
In other words, i don't have to know why,
00:04:29.592 --> 00:04:32.128
In other words, i don't have to know why, i don't have to know
00:04:32.195 --> 00:04:32.862
I don't have to know why, i don't have to know when or how,
00:04:32.929 --> 00:04:35.465
I don't have to know when or how, i just believe.
00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:36.532
When or how, i just believe. if god said it, then it's true.
00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:39.669
Psalm 40:5: "many,
00:04:42.505 --> 00:04:44.107
Psalm 40:5: "many, o lord my god,
00:04:44.173 --> 00:04:45.208
Psalm 40:5: "many, o lord my god, are the wonderful
00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:45.975
O lord my god, are the wonderful works which you have done,
00:04:46.042 --> 00:04:47.877
Are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts toward us;
00:04:47.944 --> 00:04:50.480
Works which you have done, and your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with you.
00:04:50.546 --> 00:04:52.882
And your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with you. if i should declare
00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:53.816
No one can compare with you. if i should declare and speak of them,
00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:54.984
If i should declare and speak of them, they are too many
00:04:55.051 --> 00:04:55.918
And speak of them, they are too many to be numbered."
00:04:55.985 --> 00:04:58.888
So, god thinks about
00:04:58.955 --> 00:05:00.590
So, god thinks about us so often that no matter
00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:04.060
So, god thinks about us so often that no matter how high we would count,
00:05:04.127 --> 00:05:07.230
Us so often that no matter how high we would count, we couldn't count
00:05:07.296 --> 00:05:09.098
How high we would count, we couldn't count the amount of thoughts
00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:09.866
We couldn't count the amount of thoughts that god has about us.
00:05:09.932 --> 00:05:11.501
The amount of thoughts that god has about us. now, this is not
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:13.202
That god has about us. now, this is not for somebody else.
00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:14.003
Now, this is not for somebody else. this is for you.
00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:15.805
For somebody else. this is for you. and this is for you
00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:16.806
This is for you. and this is for you that are watching by tv
00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:17.974
And this is for you that are watching by tv or on your computer or--
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.010
That are watching by tv or on your computer or-- god's given us so many ways
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:22.211
Or on your computer or-- god's given us so many ways today to hear the word.
00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:25.047
God's given us so many ways today to hear the word. there's really not much
00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:25.882
Today to hear the word. there's really not much of an excuse for anybody
00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:27.049
There's really not much of an excuse for anybody not to hear the word,
00:05:27.116 --> 00:05:28.518
Of an excuse for anybody not to hear the word, really, every day.
00:05:28.584 --> 00:05:31.988
Not to hear the word, really, every day. i watched myself
00:05:32.054 --> 00:05:32.789
Really, every day. i watched myself on tv this morning...
00:05:32.855 --> 00:05:33.756
I watched myself on tv this morning... >> [audience laughing]
00:05:33.823 --> 00:05:36.092
On tv this morning... >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: while i was doing
00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:36.993
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: while i was doing my hair, you know,

00:05:39.695 --> 00:05:43.132
Psalm 139:17 and 18:
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.402
Psalm 139:17 and 18: "how precious and weighty are
00:05:46.469 --> 00:05:48.004
Psalm 139:17 and 18: "how precious and weighty are your thoughts to me, o god.
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:49.439
"how precious and weighty are your thoughts to me, o god. how vast is the sum of them.
00:05:49.505 --> 00:05:51.908
Your thoughts to me, o god. how vast is the sum of them. if i could count them,
00:05:51.974 --> 00:05:53.776
How vast is the sum of them. if i could count them, they would be more in number
00:05:53.843 --> 00:05:55.912
If i could count them, they would be more in number than the sand," on the sea.
00:05:55.978 --> 00:05:58.815
They would be more in number than the sand," on the sea. now, just think about that,
00:05:58.881 --> 00:06:01.184
One little,
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:01.818
One little, teeny tiny grain of sand.
00:06:01.884 --> 00:06:03.786
One little, teeny tiny grain of sand. i can't even imagine how many
00:06:03.853 --> 00:06:04.954
Teeny tiny grain of sand. i can't even imagine how many grains of sand there
00:06:05.021 --> 00:06:05.922
I can't even imagine how many grains of sand there is on one beach.
00:06:05.988 --> 00:06:08.324
Grains of sand there is on one beach. and he's talking about
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:08.991
Is on one beach. and he's talking about all the sand in all the world
00:06:09.058 --> 00:06:10.493
And he's talking about all the sand in all the world that his thoughts toward
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.528
All the sand in all the world that his thoughts toward us are more than all
00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:15.431
That his thoughts toward us are more than all of those grains of sand.
00:06:15.498 --> 00:06:16.666
Us are more than all of those grains of sand. wow.
00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:18.568
It's so amazing that god loves
00:06:20.002 --> 00:06:21.537
It's so amazing that god loves us while we're still yet in sin.
00:06:21.604 --> 00:06:26.042
It's so amazing that god loves us while we're still yet in sin. and he loved us so much that
00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:27.376
Us while we're still yet in sin. and he loved us so much that he sent his son to die for us
00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:29.512
And he loved us so much that he sent his son to die for us while we were still yet sinners.
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:31.614
He sent his son to die for us while we were still yet sinners. before we cared anything about
00:06:31.681 --> 00:06:32.982
While we were still yet sinners. before we cared anything about him at all, he died for us.
00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:36.953
Before we cared anything about him at all, he died for us. it's amazing.
00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:39.255
Him at all, he died for us. it's amazing. i don't think that we'll ever
00:06:39.322 --> 00:06:40.623
It's amazing. i don't think that we'll ever really comprehend that kind
00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:42.024
I don't think that we'll ever really comprehend that kind of love until we get to heaven.
00:06:42.091 --> 00:06:44.760
Really comprehend that kind of love until we get to heaven. i was thinking this morning,
00:06:44.827 --> 00:06:46.963
Of love until we get to heaven. i was thinking this morning, "boy, i bet heaven's
00:06:47.029 --> 00:06:47.597
I was thinking this morning, "boy, i bet heaven's gonna be awesome."
00:06:47.663 --> 00:06:49.899
Just think about what
00:06:49.966 --> 00:06:50.533
Just think about what the atmosphere will be like,
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:51.801
Just think about what the atmosphere will be like, that atmosphere
00:06:51.868 --> 00:06:52.468
The atmosphere will be like, that atmosphere of complete love.
00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:56.806
That atmosphere of complete love. everyone we know probably,
00:06:56.873 --> 00:06:58.674
Of complete love. everyone we know probably, occasionally thinks maybe
00:06:58.741 --> 00:07:02.345
Everyone we know probably, occasionally thinks maybe a little something bad about us,
00:07:02.411 --> 00:07:04.680
Occasionally thinks maybe a little something bad about us, maybe a judgmental thought or,
00:07:04.747 --> 00:07:07.383
A little something bad about us, maybe a judgmental thought or, you know, something.
00:07:07.450 --> 00:07:08.017
Maybe a judgmental thought or, you know, something. but god never,
00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:10.152
You know, something. but god never, ever thinks one bad
00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:12.989
But god never, ever thinks one bad thought about you.
00:07:13.055 --> 00:07:16.225
Ever thinks one bad thought about you. even when you do something bad,
00:07:16.292 --> 00:07:17.560
Thought about you. even when you do something bad, he doesn't think a bad
00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:18.494
Even when you do something bad, he doesn't think a bad thought about you.
00:07:18.561 --> 00:07:19.395
He doesn't think a bad thought about you. he thinks about
00:07:19.462 --> 00:07:20.296
Thought about you. he thinks about your possibilities,
00:07:20.363 --> 00:07:21.264
He thinks about your possibilities, not your problems.
00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:22.164
Your possibilities, not your problems. mmm, so good.
00:07:22.231 --> 00:07:26.536
Not your problems. mmm, so good. and god thinks you're
00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:27.436
Mmm, so good. and god thinks you're wonderful and amazing,
00:07:27.503 --> 00:07:31.707
And god thinks you're wonderful and amazing, and all you can
00:07:31.774 --> 00:07:32.375
Wonderful and amazing, and all you can do is just receive it.
00:07:32.441 --> 00:07:37.446
And all you can do is just receive it. so, you might as well
00:07:37.513 --> 00:07:38.214
Do is just receive it. so, you might as well go ahead and say,
00:07:38.281 --> 00:07:38.881
So, you might as well go ahead and say, "i am wonderful."
00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:39.749
Go ahead and say, "i am wonderful." >> [audience chuckling]
00:07:39.815 --> 00:07:43.219
"i am wonderful." >> [audience chuckling] >> joyce: thank you.

>> joyce: thank you. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: see how hard
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:47.189
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: see how hard that is to do?
00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:49.058
>> joyce: see how hard that is to do? oh, but i'll tell you what,
00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:49.959
That is to do? oh, but i'll tell you what, i've practiced for years.
00:07:50.026 --> 00:07:51.060
Oh, but i'll tell you what, i've practiced for years. i'm good at it.
00:07:51.127 --> 00:07:51.994
I've practiced for years. i'm good at it. >> [audience chuckling]
00:07:52.061 --> 00:07:54.597
I'm good at it. >> [audience chuckling] >> joyce: you know,
00:07:54.664 --> 00:07:55.298
>> [audience chuckling] >> joyce: you know, in philemon 6,
00:07:55.364 --> 00:07:58.067
>> joyce: you know, in philemon 6, there's only one chapter,
00:07:58.134 --> 00:07:58.901
In philemon 6, there's only one chapter, so it's verse 6.
00:07:58.968 --> 00:08:01.270
There's only one chapter, so it's verse 6. and i've been teaching for--
00:08:01.337 --> 00:08:03.272
So it's verse 6. and i've been teaching for-- next year, in march,
00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:04.607
And i've been teaching for-- next year, in march, will be 50 years.
00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:06.442
Next year, in march, will be 50 years. and for some reason,
00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:08.911
Will be 50 years. and for some reason, i had never seen this scripture.
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:11.781
And it says that
00:08:13.382 --> 00:08:14.483
And it says that "our faith is made effectual
00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:18.421
And it says that "our faith is made effectual by acknowledging all the good
00:08:18.487 --> 00:08:21.257
"our faith is made effectual by acknowledging all the good things that are in us."
00:08:21.324 --> 00:08:26.128
So, our faith doesn't even
00:08:26.195 --> 00:08:27.330
So, our faith doesn't even work right if we're just
00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:31.033
So, our faith doesn't even work right if we're just acknowledging the bad stuff
00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.435
Work right if we're just acknowledging the bad stuff and not realizing all the things
00:08:32.501 --> 00:08:35.671
Acknowledging the bad stuff and not realizing all the things that we are in christ.
00:08:35.738 --> 00:08:37.640
And not realizing all the things that we are in christ. and that's the key.
00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:38.874
That we are in christ. and that's the key. it's in christ.
00:08:38.941 --> 00:08:40.443
And that's the key. it's in christ. it's not what i am in myself,
00:08:40.509 --> 00:08:42.078
It's in christ. it's not what i am in myself, but it's who i am in him.
00:08:42.144 --> 00:08:45.014
It's not what i am in myself, but it's who i am in him. and you see,
00:08:45.081 --> 00:08:46.515
But it's who i am in him. and you see, when jesus died on the cross,
00:08:46.582 --> 00:08:49.585
And you see, when jesus died on the cross, every person who ever would
00:08:49.652 --> 00:08:50.953
When jesus died on the cross, every person who ever would believe, god views as having
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:54.156
Every person who ever would believe, god views as having been on that cross with him.
00:08:54.223 --> 00:08:56.993
And when he was raised,
00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.294
And when he was raised, we were raised.
00:08:58.361 --> 00:08:59.395
And when he was raised, we were raised. the bible says,
00:08:59.462 --> 00:08:59.895
We were raised. the bible says, "we're seated in heavenly
00:08:59.962 --> 00:09:00.930
The bible says, "we're seated in heavenly places in christ jesus."
00:09:00.997 --> 00:09:03.699
"we're seated in heavenly places in christ jesus." "well, come on now, joyce.
00:09:03.766 --> 00:09:04.767
Places in christ jesus." "well, come on now, joyce. i see you standing
00:09:04.834 --> 00:09:05.601
"well, come on now, joyce. i see you standing on the platform."
00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:07.370
But see, that's the great thing
00:09:07.436 --> 00:09:08.671
But see, that's the great thing about being a christian.
00:09:08.738 --> 00:09:11.440
But see, that's the great thing about being a christian. you live in two places at once.
00:09:11.507 --> 00:09:15.578
About being a christian. you live in two places at once. you have two natures.
00:09:15.645 --> 00:09:16.646
You live in two places at once. you have two natures. and our job is just to learn
00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:21.183
You have two natures. and our job is just to learn more and more how to stay
00:09:21.250 --> 00:09:22.818
And our job is just to learn more and more how to stay out of the old nature
00:09:22.885 --> 00:09:25.187
More and more how to stay out of the old nature and live in the new nature.
00:09:25.254 --> 00:09:26.489
And ephesians 4 says that you
00:09:27.023 --> 00:09:29.025
And ephesians 4 says that you do it by renewing your mind.
00:09:29.091 --> 00:09:31.761
And ephesians 4 says that you do it by renewing your mind. put off the old man daily,
00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:34.196
Do it by renewing your mind. put off the old man daily, renew your mind and attitude
00:09:34.263 --> 00:09:35.865
Put off the old man daily, renew your mind and attitude and put on the new man.
00:09:35.931 --> 00:09:38.634
Renew your mind and attitude and put on the new man. if you wanna change--
00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:41.837
And put on the new man. if you wanna change-- and i know this sounds like,
00:09:41.904 --> 00:09:43.706
If you wanna change-- and i know this sounds like, "what are you talking about?"
00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:44.740
And i know this sounds like, "what are you talking about?" if you wanna change,
00:09:44.807 --> 00:09:47.410
"what are you talking about?" if you wanna change, you have to start
00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:48.210
If you wanna change, you have to start claiming that change
00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:49.578
You have to start claiming that change before you ever see it.
00:09:49.645 --> 00:09:57.720
Claiming that change before you ever see it. learn to think like god thinks.
00:09:57.787 --> 00:09:59.689
Before you ever see it. learn to think like god thinks. well, that really is our job.
00:09:59.755 --> 00:10:02.291
Learn to think like god thinks. well, that really is our job. amos 3:3: "do two walk together,
00:10:02.358 --> 00:10:04.927
Well, that really is our job. amos 3:3: "do two walk together, except they make an appointment
00:10:04.994 --> 00:10:06.195
Amos 3:3: "do two walk together, except they make an appointment with god and have agreed?"
00:10:06.262 --> 00:10:08.864
Except they make an appointment with god and have agreed?" so, we can't really walk
00:10:08.931 --> 00:10:10.266
With god and have agreed?" so, we can't really walk with god if we're not
00:10:10.332 --> 00:10:11.434
So, we can't really walk with god if we're not gonna be in agreement
00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:13.969
With god if we're not gonna be in agreement with what he says.
00:10:14.036 --> 00:10:16.572
Gonna be in agreement with what he says. romans 12:2: "don't be conformed
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.208
With what he says. romans 12:2: "don't be conformed to this world (this age),

[fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs],

To its external, superficial customs], but be transformed--"

Superficial customs], but be transformed--" which means entirely
00:10:26.415 --> 00:10:27.116
But be transformed--" which means entirely changed "by the [entire]
00:10:27.183 --> 00:10:30.219
Which means entirely changed "by the [entire] renewal of your mind."
00:10:30.286 --> 00:10:32.455
Changed "by the [entire] renewal of your mind." how many of you think a little
00:10:32.521 --> 00:10:33.723
Renewal of your mind." how many of you think a little different now than you did
00:10:33.789 --> 00:10:34.957
Before you were saved?
00:10:35.024 --> 00:10:36.025
Before you were saved? >> [audience agreeing]
00:10:36.092 --> 00:10:39.495
Before you were saved? >> [audience agreeing] >> joyce: man, my mind
00:10:39.562 --> 00:10:40.396
>> [audience agreeing] >> joyce: man, my mind was a mess.
00:10:40.463 --> 00:10:42.898
>> joyce: man, my mind was a mess. not even before i was saved,
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:44.266
Was a mess. not even before i was saved, but before i got serious about
00:10:44.333 --> 00:10:45.768
Not even before i was saved, but before i got serious about my relationship with god.
00:10:45.835 --> 00:10:47.770
But before i got serious about my relationship with god. because i was a christian
00:10:47.837 --> 00:10:48.504
My relationship with god. because i was a christian a long time before i got
00:10:48.571 --> 00:10:49.905
Because i was a christian a long time before i got really serious about it.
00:10:49.972 --> 00:10:52.775
A long time before i got really serious about it. you know, you can just
00:10:52.842 --> 00:10:53.509
Really serious about it. you know, you can just go to church and go home,
00:10:53.576 --> 00:10:54.477
You know, you can just go to church and go home, go to church and go home
00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:55.578
Go to church and go home, go to church and go home and nothing changes.
00:10:55.644 --> 00:10:58.214
Go to church and go home and nothing changes. when i ask somebody
00:10:58.280 --> 00:10:58.914
And nothing changes. when i ask somebody if they're a christian and they
00:10:58.981 --> 00:10:59.815
When i ask somebody if they're a christian and they tell me they go to church,
00:10:59.882 --> 00:11:00.750
If they're a christian and they tell me they go to church, i think, "uh-oh."

Tell me they go to church, i think, "uh-oh." >> [audience chuckling]

'cause see that-- just sitting in church every week, that doesn't--
00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:09.592
Just sitting in church every week, that doesn't-- the point is, are you changing?
00:11:09.658 --> 00:11:11.527
Every week, that doesn't-- the point is, are you changing? are you becoming
00:11:11.594 --> 00:11:12.194
The point is, are you changing? are you becoming more like christ?
00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:13.229
We are destined,

We are destined, "predestined to be molded into the image of jesus christ."
00:11:16.499 --> 00:11:18.334
"predestined to be molded into the image of jesus christ." that's god's plan for us.
00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:20.136
Into the image of jesus christ." that's god's plan for us. that doesn't mean
00:11:20.202 --> 00:11:20.803
It's automatically gonna happen,
00:11:20.870 --> 00:11:22.538
It's automatically gonna happen, but that's his will for us.
00:11:22.605 --> 00:11:24.306
It's automatically gonna happen, but that's his will for us. he's already made
00:11:24.373 --> 00:11:24.974
But that's his will for us. he's already made all the arrangements
00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:25.775
He's already made all the arrangements for it to happen.
00:11:25.841 --> 00:11:27.009
All the arrangements for it to happen. now we just need
00:11:27.076 --> 00:11:27.810
For it to happen. now we just need to cooperate with it.
00:11:27.877 --> 00:11:31.313
Now we just need to cooperate with it. changed by the entire
00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:32.414
To cooperate with it. changed by the entire renewal of your mind.
00:11:32.481 --> 00:11:36.519
Changed by the entire renewal of your mind. having our mind renewed
00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:37.586
Renewal of your mind. having our mind renewed according to god's word
00:11:37.653 --> 00:11:38.621
Having our mind renewed according to god's word actually means that we learn
00:11:38.687 --> 00:11:39.622
According to god's word actually means that we learn to think like god thinks.
00:11:39.688 --> 00:11:41.857
Actually means that we learn to think like god thinks. see yourself as a new creation
00:11:41.924 --> 00:11:44.493
To think like god thinks. see yourself as a new creation in christ.
00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:45.995
See yourself as a new creation in christ. don't think about yourself
00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:47.530
In christ. don't think about yourself the way you used to be,
00:11:47.596 --> 00:11:48.664
Don't think about yourself the way you used to be, or even the way you
00:11:48.731 --> 00:11:50.833
The way you used to be, or even the way you still are sometimes.
00:11:50.900 --> 00:11:52.368
Or even the way you still are sometimes. i don't mean to deny it.
00:11:52.434 --> 00:11:55.237
Still are sometimes. i don't mean to deny it. you can be truthful with god.
00:11:55.304 --> 00:11:57.606
I don't mean to deny it. you can be truthful with god. "i know that i have a problem
00:11:57.673 --> 00:11:58.674
You can be truthful with god. "i know that i have a problem with this and this,
00:11:58.741 --> 00:11:59.375
"i know that i have a problem with this and this, but you've already
00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:01.110
With this and this, but you've already taken care of it.
00:12:01.177 --> 00:12:03.412
But you've already taken care of it. and i'm gonna think about
00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:04.513
Taken care of it. and i'm gonna think about it the way you think about it,
00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:05.681
And i'm gonna think about it the way you think about it, and talk about it the way
00:12:05.748 --> 00:12:07.283

00:12:07.349 --> 00:12:09.418
And talk about it the way you talk about it. so it can actually become
00:12:09.485 --> 00:12:10.386
You talk about it. so it can actually become a reality in my life."
00:12:10.452 --> 00:12:12.288
Lately i've been just
00:12:12.888 --> 00:12:15.224
Lately i've been just devouring books on faith,
00:12:15.291 --> 00:12:17.860
Lately i've been just devouring books on faith, and it's amazing--
00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:19.862
Devouring books on faith, and it's amazing-- faith is one of the first
00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:20.763
And it's amazing-- faith is one of the first things you learn,
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:22.865
Faith is one of the first things you learn, but it's amazing how
00:12:22.932 --> 00:12:23.699
Things you learn, but it's amazing how we forget things.
00:12:23.766 --> 00:12:26.302
But it's amazing how we forget things. and it's just been
00:12:26.368 --> 00:12:27.203
We forget things. and it's just been so refreshing for me.
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:28.604
And it's just been so refreshing for me. and you realize how often you
00:12:28.671 --> 00:12:31.340
So refreshing for me. and you realize how often you don't activate your faith.
00:12:31.407 --> 00:12:33.742
But one of the writers said--
00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:35.444
But one of the writers said-- well, really, everybody
00:12:35.511 --> 00:12:38.047
But one of the writers said-- well, really, everybody i've read says in one way
00:12:38.113 --> 00:12:38.948
Well, really, everybody i've read says in one way or another that faith
00:12:39.014 --> 00:12:40.216
I've read says in one way or another that faith is comprised of two things.
00:12:40.282 --> 00:12:44.420
Or another that faith is comprised of two things. knowing that we're made
00:12:44.486 --> 00:12:47.656
Is comprised of two things. knowing that we're made right with god and saying it.
00:12:47.723 --> 00:12:52.528
Knowing that we're made right with god and saying it. it's comprised of believing
00:12:52.595 --> 00:12:53.963
Right with god and saying it. it's comprised of believing and saying.
00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:56.332
So, we really have to get,
00:12:57.433 --> 00:12:59.235
So, we really have to get, i think, yet a greater
00:12:59.301 --> 00:13:00.536
So, we really have to get, i think, yet a greater understanding on this,
00:13:00.603 --> 00:13:01.904
I think, yet a greater understanding on this, what we say.
00:13:01.971 --> 00:13:04.273
Understanding on this, what we say. it's just made me realize
00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:07.009
What we say. it's just made me realize how important it really is.
00:13:07.076 --> 00:13:09.678
It's just made me realize how important it really is. and to get up in the morning
00:13:09.745 --> 00:13:12.514

00:13:19.154 --> 00:13:19.722
"today is gonna be a good day. this is the day the lord has made.
00:13:19.788 --> 00:13:20.389
This is the day the lord has made. i will rejoice and be glad.
00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:23.893
