00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.170

00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.140
AND WE'RE ALL HERE, AND LET'S MAKE WELCOME PLEASE
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:48.060
JOYCE MEYER TO PRAISE PROGRAM.
00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:49.250
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:52.150
LOVE IT.
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:56.040
I'VE HEARD THAT OVER YOUR MINISTRY CAREER YOU'VE
00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:59.120
WRITTEN A BOOK OR TWO.
00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:01.170
- JOYCE MEYER: YEAH, A FEW.
00:01:01.190 --> 00:01:03.020
- ONE OR TWO, AND TODAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.270
SUBJECT THAT CAN GET MISUNDERSTOOD PRETTY QUICKLY.
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:10.190
- RIGHT.
00:01:10.210 --> 00:01:11.270
- SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MAMA JOYCE, SHE'S GOING
00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:17.100
TO BRING SOME NORMALITY TO THIS SUBJECT, AND IF
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.130
YOU'RE JUST TUNING IN YOUR BATTLES BELONG TO
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:25.000
THE LORD.
00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:26.160
THAT SOUNDS LIKE GREAT NEWS.
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:28.170
LET'S UNPACK IT NOW FOR THE NEXT ONE HOUR PLEASE.
00:01:28.190 --> 00:01:31.170
- WELL, EVERYBODY GETS SO EXCITED WHEN THEY HEAR
00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:35.160
THAT TITLE, AND THAT BOOK WILL SELL JUST BECAUSE OF
00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:39.030
THE TITLE BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST GET REALLY TIRED OF
00:01:39.050 --> 00:01:42.020
FEELING LIKE THEY'RE FIGHTING SOMETHING ALL
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.050
THE TIME.
00:01:45.070 --> 00:01:46.210
- RIGHT.
00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:48.010
- AND SPECIALLY THEN, LIKE I KNOW FOR ME BEFORE
00:01:48.030 --> 00:01:52.240
I KNEW THAT THE DEVIL WAS A REAL ENEMY I NEVER
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:57.040
HEARD THAT MUCH ABOUT THE DEVIL WHEN I WAS IN THE
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.170
CHURCH THAT I WAS IN FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I KNEW
00:01:59.190 --> 00:02:04.200
THERE WAS A DEVIL BUT MORE LIKE A CARTOON
00:02:04.220 --> 00:02:10.150
CHARACTER, YOU KNOW, THAT CAME OUT ON HALLOWEEN.
00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:13.240
I DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE THAT THE DEVIL WAS BEHIND
00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:16.200
ALL MY PROBLEMS.
00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:19.030
NOW, WE CAN'T ALWAYS SAY THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.
00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:22.100
- RIGHT.
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.210
- BECAUSE WE HAVE FREE WILL AND SATAN CERTAINLY
00:02:24.230 --> 00:02:26.240
DOES WORK THROUGH PEOPLE AND HE DOES WORK THROUGH
00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:29.180
CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I THINK WHAT I'M WANTING
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:33.150
PEOPLE TO REALLY REALIZE IN THIS BOOK -- LIKE TODAY,
00:02:33.170 --> 00:02:37.030
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE ANGRY.
00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:40.040
- LAURIE CROUCH: YES.
00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:41.230
- I'VE NEVER SEEN A TIME WHEN PEOPLE ARE SO
00:02:41.250 --> 00:02:43.030
EASILY OFFENDED.
00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:45.290
AND WHEN I SAY PEOPLE I'M TALKING ABOUT
00:02:46.010 --> 00:02:47.090
CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.
00:02:47.110 --> 00:02:48.290
I MEAN, I'VE DONE THIS TOO MANY YEARS AND ASKED
00:02:49.010 --> 00:02:52.280
TOO MANY TIMES, AND THERE'S USUALLY ABOUT 70%
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.160
OF ANY SIZE CROWD THAT WILL TELL YOU THERE'S
00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:59.240
SOMEBODY THAT THEY NEED TO FORGIVE.
00:02:59.260 --> 00:03:02.250
AND I THINK PEOPLE DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND
00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:06.060
FORGIVENESS, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER WHOLE SUBJECT.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.110
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR FEELINGS CHANGE.
00:03:09.130 --> 00:03:11.170
IT MEANS YOU DECIDE TO DO WHAT GOD'S ASKED YOU TO DO.
00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:14.170
THEN HE'LL CHANGE YOUR FEELINGS.
00:03:14.190 --> 00:03:16.260
BUT I THINK I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE ENEMY IS
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.030
REAL, AND WHEN I FIRST STARTED LEARNING THAT I
00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:23.040
STARTED DOING WHAT I WAS BEING TAUGHT WAS
00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:26.100
SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHICH PRETTY MUCH WAS JUST
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.270
SCREAMING AT THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME AND
00:03:28.290 --> 00:03:31.070
REBUKING SATAN.
00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:35.290
RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE, AND I FINALLY
00:03:36.010 --> 00:03:38.170
GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I SAID, I DIDN'T MEAN IT TO
00:03:38.190 --> 00:03:41.230
BE A JOKE BUT IT WAS FUNNY, WELL, I'VE REBUKED
00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:43.290
UNTIL MY REBUKER IS WORN OUT AND HE STILL HASN'T
00:03:44.010 --> 00:03:46.220
GONE AWAY, SO THAT'S WHEN I HAD TO START DIGGING IN
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.110
AND LEARNING SOME THINGS, AND I REMEMBER THE LORD
00:03:51.130 --> 00:03:54.070
SPEAKING TO MY HEART AND SAYING, WHY DON'T YOU
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:56.280
STUDY HOW JESUS DID SPIRITUAL WARFARE?
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.170
- THERE YOU GO.
00:04:00.190 --> 00:04:02.010
- HE CERTAINLY NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE
00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:03.270
ENEMY, AND SO I REALLY STARTED DOING THAT, AND
00:04:03.290 --> 00:04:07.220
THAT'S PART OF THE BOOK.
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.140
FOR EXAMPLE, LOVE IS WARFARE.
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:15.100
WALKING IN LOVE IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.170
WELL, IF YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO WALK IN LOVE,
00:04:19.190 --> 00:04:21.130
THEN YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE.
00:04:21.150 --> 00:04:24.020
AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT JUST THAT ONE ASPECT ALL
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.160
DAY BECAUSE UNFORGIVENNESS OR ANGER
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:30.120
OPENS THE DOOR FOR THE ENEMY, AND THE BIBLE SAYS
00:04:30.140 --> 00:04:34.030
IN EPHESIANS DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON
00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:36.110
YOUR ANGER.
00:04:36.130 --> 00:04:38.100
DON'T GIVE THE DEVIL ANY SUCH FOOTHOLD, SO IF HE
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.110
GETS A FOOTHOLD, THEN HE CAN GET A STRONGHOLD, AND
00:04:42.130 --> 00:04:47.140
I JUST WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCHING TODAY OR
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.220
EVEN THOSE OF US HERE STILL HAVE SOME
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.210
UNRESOLVED ISSUES IN YOUR HEART WITH UNFORGIVENNESS
00:04:55.230 --> 00:05:00.150
AND WHAT GOD FINALLY TAUGHT ME, AND I SAY
00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:04.110
FINALLY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AT THINK 43 YEARS
00:05:04.130 --> 00:05:06.170
STUDYING THE WORD, WAS THAT -- GOD SAID I SEE
00:05:06.190 --> 00:05:12.150
PEOPLE COMING FOR PRAYER ALL THE TIME THAT I KNOW
00:05:12.170 --> 00:05:15.050
ARE SERIOUS, THEY WANT TO FORGIVE BUT THE SAME
00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:17.190
PEOPLE COME BACK OVER AND OVER.
00:05:17.210 --> 00:05:19.080
WHAT'S GOING ON?
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.040
AND HE SIMPLY PUT IN MY HEART THEY'RE NOT DOING
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:22.190
WHAT I TOLD THEM TO, AND THE FIRST THING THE BIBLE
00:05:22.210 --> 00:05:26.030
SAYS IS PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES.
00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:28.210
I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY REALLY DO THAT.
00:05:28.230 --> 00:05:32.270
YOU KNOW, PRAY FOR THEM.
00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:35.100
WE GO, I DON'T WANT TO PRAY FOR MY ENEMIES
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.230
TO BE BLESSED.
00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:38.150
WELL, IF YOU PRAY FOR THEM TO BE BLESSED, THE
00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.290
FIRST THING THEY MIGHT BE BLESSED WITH IS SOME
00:05:41.010 --> 00:05:43.040
UNDERSTANDING ON THEIR BEHAVIOR, AND WE CAN LET
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:48.040
GOD DECIDE WHAT THE BLESSINGS ARE, BUT WE
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.130
NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES TO BE BLESSED,
00:05:50.150 --> 00:05:54.180
BUT SECONDLY, AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, IS IT
00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:57.250
SAYS TO BLESS THEM, PRAY FOR THEM AND BLESS THEM,
00:05:57.270 --> 00:06:04.060
AND THAT MEANS TO DO GOOD TO, AND IT MEANS TO
00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:06.150
SPEAK WELL OF.
00:06:06.170 --> 00:06:09.100
THE CURSE MEANS TO SPEAK EVIL OF.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.210
TO BLESS TO SPEAK WELL OF.
00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:14.160
SO YOU HAVE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT
00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:16.170
YOUR ENEMIES.
00:06:16.190 --> 00:06:18.010
AND WE KNOW THAT'S HARD.
00:06:18.030 --> 00:06:19.090
IF SOMEBODY'S REALLY HURT YOU AND YOU HEAR SOMEBODY
00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:21.050
ELSE TALKING ABOUT OH, WHAT A GREAT PERSON THEY
00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:24.020
ARE AND HOW MUCH THEY LIKE THEM, YOU JUST THINK
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.190
WELL, THAT'S, YOU KNOW -- - THEY JUST DON'T KNOW.
00:06:26.210 --> 00:06:29.080
- THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:31.140
- LAURIE CROUCH: LET ME SHARE.
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.170
- LET ME JUST ASK YOU FOR A MINUTE SINCE YOUR
00:06:34.190 --> 00:06:37.010
PART OF THIS, HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO WORK
00:06:37.030 --> 00:06:38.250
THROUGH FORGIVENESS?
00:06:38.270 --> 00:06:40.100
- LORD JESUS.
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.260
[LAUGHTER]
00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:44.180
- ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. YEAH.
00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:46.290
I MEAN, WE USUALLY WIN THAT AWARD IN SOME
00:06:47.010 --> 00:06:49.120
REGARD, BUT AT SOME POINT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
00:06:49.150 --> 00:06:53.090
TALKING ABOUT IN REGARD TO THIS SUBJECT AND
00:06:53.110 --> 00:06:57.020
BECAUSE WHAT EVERYONE LOVES ABOUT YOU IS YOU
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.160
WILL CIRCUMSPECTLY KIND OF TEACH.
00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:04.240
YOU'RE NOT -- - IS THAT RIGHT?
00:07:04.260 --> 00:07:06.220
I JUST KIND OF TEACH?
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.260
[LAUGHTER]
00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:11.270
- YOU HAVE BEEN AN OPEN BOOK, YOU KNOW, TO ALL OF
00:07:11.290 --> 00:07:14.240
US AND HAVE TAUGHT ALL OF US SO WELL THROUGH YOUR
00:07:14.260 --> 00:07:19.230
OWN EXPERIENCE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:22.060
HAVE TO DO THAT.
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:24.120
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GET RAW AND BARE IT
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:27.100
ALL, AND YOU'VE DONE A BEAUTIFUL JOB WITH THAT.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.110
AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT.
00:07:29.130 --> 00:07:32.020
- I'LL TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT MY DAD THAT REALLY
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.150
MAKES THE POINT.
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:35.060
I'D HAVE TO MAKE IT SHORT AND NOT THE LONG VERSION,
00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:37.000
BUT MY DAD SEXUALLY ABUSED ME FOR MANY YEARS,
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:38.210
AND MY MOTHER KNEW HE WAS DOING IT BUT DIDN'T HAVE
00:07:38.230 --> 00:07:40.290
THE COURAGE TO CONFRONT HIM BECAUSE SHE WAS
00:07:41.010 --> 00:07:43.090
AFRAID OF HIM, TOO.
00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:45.000
AND SO YOU KNOW, I PRAYED THE I FORGIVE YOU PRAYER
00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:48.080
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES, BUT I DIDN'T WANT
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:50.180
ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM.
00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:52.120
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE AROUND HIM.
00:07:52.140 --> 00:07:53.280
IF I HAD TO GO ON HOLIDAYS, THE SOONER I
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.180
COULD GETAWAY THE HAPPIER I WAS.
00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:57.240
AND I'D SEND HIM A LITTLE MONEY FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY
00:07:57.260 --> 00:08:00.190
OR WHATEVER, BUT I WASN'T REALLY INTO THE LOVING
00:08:00.210 --> 00:08:03.230
YOU THING YET, YOU KNOW, AND AS THEY GOT OLDER ONE
00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:07.170
MORNING I WAS PRAYING AND YOU GOT TO BE A LITTLE
00:08:07.190 --> 00:08:11.290
BIT CAREFUL WHEN YOU ASK GOD, IS THERE ANYTHING
00:08:12.010 --> 00:08:14.080
YOU WANT ME TO DO?
00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:16.010
[LAUGHTER]
00:08:16.030 --> 00:08:17.090
I MEAN THAT CAN SOUND REAL SPIRITUAL.
00:08:17.110 --> 00:08:19.200
OH LORD, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO DO.
00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.000
I SURRENDER ALL.
00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:24.070
AND THEN HE ASKS YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T
00:08:24.090 --> 00:08:25.290
WANT TO DO.
00:08:26.010 --> 00:08:27.040
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:28.130
AND I REALLY SENSED IN MY HEART THAT GOD SAID I
00:08:28.150 --> 00:08:30.090
WANT YOU TO BRING YOUR PARENTS TO THE CITY YOU
00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:33.250
LIVE IN AND TAKE CARE OF THEM UNTIL THEY DIE.
00:08:33.270 --> 00:08:39.010
GET THEM A HOUSE.
00:08:39.030 --> 00:08:41.200
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE WHATEVER THEY NEED.
00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:46.090
WELL, THE FIRST THING I DID, AND I AM NOT LYING,
00:08:46.110 --> 00:08:48.180
I REBUKED THE DEVIL.
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.100
[LAUGHTER]
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.280
I SAID, THERE IS NO WAY THAT GOD WOULD ASK ME TO
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.050
DO THAT.
00:08:56.070 --> 00:08:57.250
- WOW.
00:08:57.270 --> 00:08:59.190
- IT WAS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME
00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:01.050
THAT GOD WOULD ASK ME TO DO THAT.
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:03.150
IT'S LIKE, WELL, HOW UNJUST -- YOU KNOW THE
00:09:03.170 --> 00:09:07.010
FIRST THING YOU DO, WELL, YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING
00:09:07.030 --> 00:09:08.200
FOR ME.
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.030
I SAID THAT TO THE LORD.
00:09:10.050 --> 00:09:11.160
THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR ME.
00:09:11.180 --> 00:09:12.240
AND HE SAID, WELL, YOU'RE BREATHING, AREN'T YOU?
00:09:12.260 --> 00:09:15.140
AND SO THEY GAVE ME LIFE.
00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:18.020
IF IT WASN'T FOR THEM I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:21.020
AND REALLY EVEN THE WAY I GREW UP HAS TURNED OUT TO
00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:25.090
BE AGAINST THE DEVIL, NOT FOR HIM.
00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:28.140
SO WHAT HE MEANT FOR HARM GOD TURNED IT AROUND AND
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:32.110
WORKED IT OUT FOR GOOD.
00:09:32.130 --> 00:09:34.250
AND SO I JUST FORGOT ABOUT THAT GOD COULD HAVE
00:09:34.270 --> 00:09:40.220
POSSIBLY SAID THAT AND WENT ON ABOUT
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.130
MY BUSINESS.
00:09:42.150 --> 00:09:44.120
BUT YOU KNOW HOW GOD IS, WHEN HE WANTS SOMETHING
00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:46.180
HE USUALLY DOESN'T BE QUIET ABOUT IT.
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.270
KEPT COMING UP, KEPT COMING UP.
00:09:48.290 --> 00:09:50.190
I THOUGHT WELL, I MEAN, DAVE AND I WE MAYBE HAD
00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:54.210
ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A SMALL HOUSE, BUT WE
00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:58.110
DIDN'T THE MONEY TO BE BUYING PEOPLE HOUSES, AND
00:09:58.130 --> 00:10:02.010
SO I THOUGHT WELL, I'LL GO TO DAVE AND HE'S GOING
00:10:02.030 --> 00:10:05.120
TO TELL ME NO, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN DO THIS.
00:10:05.140 --> 00:10:07.120
[LAUGHTER] AND WILL BE MY OUT.
00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:09.150
DAVE WILL TELL ME NO, AND YOU KNOW HOW SUBMISSIVE I
00:10:09.170 --> 00:10:11.220
AM WHEN I WANT TO BE.
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.200
[LAUGHTER]
00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:15.050
- IT WORKS WELL IN SUCH OCCASIONS.
00:10:15.070 --> 00:10:17.090
- I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUBMIT TO
00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:19.140
THAT, BUT DAVE, HE SAID WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT GOD
00:10:19.160 --> 00:10:23.180
TOLD YOU TO DO YOU BETTER DO IT.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.100
I THOUGHT, OH.
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.140
[LAUGHTER]
00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:29.030
SO THEN I THOUGHT WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BUY THEM
00:10:29.050 --> 00:10:31.000
LIKE A, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE A MOBILE HOME OR
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:34.120
JUST NOT ANYTHING -- JUST ANYTHING JUST TO
00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:38.110
GET A MINUTE.
00:10:38.130 --> 00:10:40.070
THE LORD SAID NO, YOU'RE GOING TO BUY THEM A NICE
00:10:40.090 --> 00:10:42.200
HOUSE, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TO IT THEY'RE
00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:45.070
TAKEN CARE OF.
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:47.210
AND WHEN THEY FIRST MOVED TO OUR CITY, THEY COULD
00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:51.130
STILL MANAGE ON THEIR OWN, BUT THEY NEEDED HELP
00:10:51.150 --> 00:10:55.010
GETTING THEIR GROCERIES, NEEDED THE LAWN CUT, THEY
00:10:55.030 --> 00:10:57.270
NEEDED ALL THESE THINGS THAT COST MONEY THEY
00:10:57.290 --> 00:10:59.190
DIDN'T HAVE.
00:10:59.210 --> 00:11:01.260
SO THE WHOLE THING WAS A BIG EXPENDITURE TOO, AND
00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:04.270
THEN WHEN PEOPLE ARE ELDERLY LIKE THAT YOU
00:11:04.290 --> 00:11:06.280
NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO NEED YOU, BUT
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.260
WHENEVER THEY'RE GOING TO NEED YOU, YOU NEED TO BE
00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:11.120
READY TO HELP THEM.
00:11:11.140 --> 00:11:13.150
SO IT WAS THREE YEARS ALMOST SINCE WE BOUGHT
00:11:13.170 --> 00:11:20.070
THEM THE HOUSE, AND MY MOTHER CALLED ONE DAY AND
00:11:20.090 --> 00:11:23.140
SAID YOUR DAD HAS BEEN CRYING ALL WEEK AND HE
00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:25.040
WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:27.040
NOW, KEEP IN MIND HE HAD NEVER APOLOGIZED TO ME
00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:29.070
FOR WHAT HE DID.
00:11:29.090 --> 00:11:31.270
NEVER.
00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:33.160
AND SO I WENT OVER AND I SAID, WHAT'S WRONG?
00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:38.060
WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.030
AND SO THEN HE SAID I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT I'M
00:11:40.050 --> 00:11:42.290
SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD.
00:11:43.010 --> 00:11:46.170
AND HE LOOKED AT DAVE, AND HE SAID, TOLD HIM HE
00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:49.280
WAS SORRY, TOO.
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.240
BECAUSE HE KNEW DAVE KNEW IT, AND HE SAID MOST MEN
00:11:51.260 --> 00:11:54.020
WOULD HAVE KNOCKED MY HEAD OFF, BUT ALL YOU
00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:58.080
EVER DO WAS BE KIND TO ME.
00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:01.050
SO I ASKED HIM THAT DAY IF HE'D LIKE US TO PRAY
00:12:01.070 --> 00:12:04.260
WITH HIM FOR SALVATION, AND HE SAID YES.
00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:08.050
AND THEN HE ASKED IF I WOULD BAPTIZE, IF WE'D
00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:10.230
BAPTIZE HIM.
00:12:10.250 --> 00:12:12.210
SO TEN DAYS LATER WE BAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH WE
00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:15.040
HAVE IN ST. LOUIS, CHURCH IN THE INNER CITY.
00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:18.100
IT'S AN OUTREACH CHURCH, AND I'LL NEVER FORGET
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.100
WHEN HE CAME UP OUT OF THE BAPTISMAL THING AND
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.090
HE WALKED ACROSS THE FRONT, HE LIFTED BOTH HIS
00:12:23.110 --> 00:12:25.040
HANDS, SAID, PRAISE THE LORD!
00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:28.070
AND HE WAS ON A WALK, PRAISE THE LORD ON HIS
00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:30.030
WALKER, PRAISE THE LORD!
00:12:30.050 --> 00:12:32.240
SO I SAY IT LIKE THIS AND I DON'T MEAN IT TO SOUND
00:12:32.260 --> 00:12:35.110
WRONG, BUT I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A HOUSE BUT
00:12:35.130 --> 00:12:37.190
REALLY I WAS BUYING A SOUL.
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:39.130
- WOW.
00:12:39.150 --> 00:12:41.080
- AND NOT THAT YOU CAN BUY SOMEBODY'S SOUL, BUT
00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:43.020
IT MAY COST YOU SOMETHING.
00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:46.020
YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S SOMEBODY IN YOUR LIFE
00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:48.210
THAT'S REALLY HURT YOU, SHOWING THEM LOVE IS
00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:51.150
SOMETHING THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND.
00:12:51.170 --> 00:12:53.240
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS LOVE NEVER FAILS, SO LOVE IS
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.070
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, AND IT'S ONE OF MY CHAPTERS
00:12:56.090 --> 00:13:00.170
IN THE BOOK AND IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE MESSAGES
00:13:00.190 --> 00:13:03.170
TO PREACH.
00:13:03.190 --> 00:13:06.140
- WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BATTLES BELONG TO
00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:09.010
THE LORD ALL ONE HOUR.
00:13:09.030 --> 00:13:11.080
JOYCE MEYER WHO IS SITTING RIGHT HERE.
00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:13.140
REALIZE JOYCE MEYER IS IN THE STUDIO, RIGHT?
00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:15.280
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.170

I LOVE THIS.
00:13:31.270 --> 00:13:33.130

NOW, YOU'VE BEEN COMING INTO ALL OF OUR HOMES
00:13:35.130 --> 00:13:37.150
THROUGH TELEVISION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
00:13:37.170 --> 00:13:39.160
WE THOUGHT WE'D GRAB A COUPLE OF THOSE CLIPS AND
00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:42.220
JUST KIND OF THROW THEM TOGETHER.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.040

- YEAH.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.080
NO, ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.
00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:53.110
YOU BETTER BRING IT OUT QUICK.
00:13:53.130 --> 00:13:54.100
- YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT.
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.130
- YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
00:13:55.150 --> 00:13:56.010
WATCH THIS.
00:13:56.030 --> 00:13:57.080
THIS IS THE ONE REQUEST I HAVE, THE STORY.
00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.220
OKAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT STORY I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.040
- OH, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT STORY.
00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:01.100
- ALL RIGHT.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.190
- YOU WANT TO EMBARRASS ME RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
00:14:02.210 --> 00:14:03.250

00:14:03.270 --> 00:14:06.060
[MUSIC]
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:11.210
- I WENT TO THE SPA.
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:14.110
I WENT TO THE CHANGING ROOM.
00:14:14.130 --> 00:14:15.240
I CHANGED MY CLOTHES.
00:14:15.260 --> 00:14:17.280
I GOT MY MASSAGE.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.210
I CAME BACK, AND I COULDN'T FIND MY PANTS.
00:14:19.230 --> 00:14:22.020
[LAUGHTER] NOW, I GOT MY TOP ON AND I'M
00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:25.150
THINKING SOMETHING IS MISSING HERE.
00:14:25.170 --> 00:14:27.030
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:27.050 --> 00:14:29.190
[MUSIC]
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:39.270
- AND I WOULD ALWAYS WHEN I STARTED FEELING
00:14:39.290 --> 00:14:41.100
SORRY FOR MYSELF, I WOULD WORK.
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.280
LOUDLY.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.120
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:46.140 --> 00:14:47.190
SLAM DOORS AND DRAWERS.
00:14:47.210 --> 00:14:51.180
YOU VACUUM IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.020
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:55.190
I NOTICED THERE WAS ONLY ONE BOOTH LEFT, AND I
00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:57.280
KIND OF SAW OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE THAT
00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.250
ANOTHER MAN WAS HEADED FOR THE BOOTH [LAUGHTER]
00:14:59.270 --> 00:15:04.020
AND THE THING THAT WAS REALLY BAD WAS I WAS IN
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.180
THE MIDDLE OF TEACHING A SERIES ON LOVE, AND THIS
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.020
MAN THAT I RACED FOR THE BOOTH IN MCDONALD'S
00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:10.020
WAS CRIPPLED.
00:15:10.040 --> 00:15:11.030
[LAUGHTER]
00:15:11.050 --> 00:15:14.140
HE WAS ON A CANE TRYING TO GET TO THE BOOTH.
00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:17.150
AND I RACED HIM.
00:15:17.170 --> 00:15:19.200
SO THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, MRS. MEYER, WE'LL BE HAPPY
00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:22.040
TO GIVE YOU A PAIR OF PANTS, BUT YOU'RE GOING
00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:24.190
TO HAVE TO GO ACROSS THE LOBBY TO THE GIFT SHOP.
00:15:24.210 --> 00:15:27.230
[LAUGHTER]
00:15:27.250 --> 00:15:29.290
I DON'T KNOW IF GOD JUST THINKS THIS STUFF IS
00:15:30.010 --> 00:15:31.290
FUNNY, IS FOR HIS ENTERTAINMENT, BUT I'M
00:15:32.010 --> 00:15:34.160
LIKE REALLY, GOD, I HAVE GOT THINGS TO DO.
00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:37.280
[LAUGHTER] VALENTINE'S DAY IS COMING UP.
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.090
I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU GET ME.
00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:43.100
SO DAVE GETS OUT OF THE CAR [LAUGHTER] WITH THIS.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.040
[LAUGHTER]
00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:55.160
I'M ON VACATION.
00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:57.130
I'M GRATEFUL THAT I EVEN GOT THE PHARMACY BAG WITH
00:15:57.150 --> 00:16:00.100
THE CANDY THAT I WON'T EAT.
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.010
[MUSIC]
00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:10.260
- WOO! HALLELUJAH.
00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:12.150

15 YEARS AGO.
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.100
- I SAW BROWN HAIR ON ME IN ONE OF THOSE CLIPS.
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.240
[LAUGHTER]
00:16:26.260 --> 00:16:28.050
OKAY.

BATTLEFIELD IS YOUR GREATEST PLACE OF
00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:06.260
BLESSING BECAUSE EVEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THERE'S
00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:09.170
STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY THAT WHEN THEY
00:17:09.190 --> 00:17:13.160
FOUGHT THE BATTLE AND THEY DID IT GOD'S WAY
00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:15.230
THEY TOOK THE PLUNDER.
00:17:15.250 --> 00:17:17.190
- RIGHT.
00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:19.050
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT, THAT IF YOU
00:17:19.070 --> 00:17:22.270
TURN THOSE THINGS OVER TO GOD, WHAT SATAN DID MEAN
00:17:22.290 --> 00:17:25.290
FOR HARM GOD WILL WORK OUT FOR GOOD.
00:17:26.010 --> 00:17:30.130

00:17:30.150 --> 00:17:32.260
BUT I'VE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THAT I
00:17:32.280 --> 00:17:34.240
KNOW BY EXPERIENCE AND THE WORD OF GOD THAT IT'S
00:17:34.260 --> 00:17:36.180
TRUE, ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER.
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:43.030
YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING MAY NOT BE GOOD, BUT IF
00:17:43.050 --> 00:17:46.240
YOU'LL TURN THAT OVER TO GOD AND REFUSE TO FEEL
00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:52.040
SORRY FOR YOURSELF, HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE AND GIVE
00:17:52.060 --> 00:17:55.140
YOUR PROBLEM TO GOD WHILE YOU STAY BUSY HELPING
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.090
OTHER PEOPLE, THEN GOD CAN TAKE ABSOLUTELY
00:17:58.110 --> 00:18:01.280
ANYTHING AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER HE CAN WORK IT
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.070
OUT FOR YOUR GOOD.
00:18:05.090 --> 00:18:08.110
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN
00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:10.090
YOU'RE HURTING REAL BAD OR HAVING A PROBLEM THAT
00:18:10.110 --> 00:18:12.260
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF?
00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:16.030
BUT AT THE SAME TIME GOD WILL ANOINT YOU TO HELP
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:18.070
SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:18:18.090 --> 00:18:19.240
- THERE YOU GO.
00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:21.150
- DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY THAT IS?
00:18:21.170 --> 00:18:23.020
- NO. YES.
00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:24.120
[LAUGHTER]
00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:26.050
- WHAT IS IT, YES OR NO?
00:18:26.070 --> 00:18:27.090
- YES, I HAVE.
00:18:27.110 --> 00:18:28.240
- HE HAS.
00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:30.100
- FOR YOU.
00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:31.210
[LAUGHTER]
00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:33.020
- YOU KNOW, IT'S BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T REALLY WANT
00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:35.220
US FIXING OUR OWN PROBLEMS.
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.260
HE WANTS US TO TURN OUR PROBLEMS OVER TO HIM
00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:40.030
WHILE WE HELP SOMEBODY ELSE, AND THE HELP WE
00:18:40.050 --> 00:18:44.190
GIVE OTHER PEOPLE IS THE SEED WE SOW THEN FOR THE
00:18:44.210 --> 00:18:47.180
HARVEST THAT WE NEED FROM GOD.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.260
AND PSALM 37: 3, IT SAYS, THIS HAS BEEN REALLY
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:57.040
IMPORTANT TO ME, TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD AND
00:18:57.060 --> 00:19:01.230
SO SHALL YOU BE FED.
00:19:01.250 --> 00:19:04.170
AND WE MISS THE DO GOOD.
00:19:04.190 --> 00:19:08.270
TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD, SO I JUST SEE THAT
00:19:08.290 --> 00:19:12.120
SO PLAINLY NOW.
00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:14.110
IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M IN TROUBLE, ALL I'D
00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:17.280
REALLY HAVE TO DO IS TAKE MY OWN ADVICE.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.180
- RIGHT.
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.020
DON'T YOU HATE IT.
00:19:23.040 --> 00:19:24.280
- BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK FOR
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.270
ME, YOU KNOW, AT THE TIME.
00:19:26.290 --> 00:19:29.030
BUT I CAN GO TELL IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND THEY'LL
00:19:29.050 --> 00:19:31.070
GO OH, THAT'S A WORD FROM GOD.
00:19:31.090 --> 00:19:33.090
THAT'S EXACTLY THE WORD THAT I NEEDED.
00:19:33.110 --> 00:19:35.190
SO I THINK IF WE REMEMBER THAT, THAT GOD WANTS TO
00:19:35.210 --> 00:19:38.200
FIGHT OUR BATTLES, AND THERE IS A WARFARE THAT
00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:43.030
WE DO, BUT IT'S NOT JUST SCREAMING AT THE ENEMY
00:19:43.050 --> 00:19:45.230
ALL THE TIME.
00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:47.160
FIRST OF ALL, THE FIRST CHAPTER IN THIS BOOK IS
00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:49.170
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ENEMY.
00:19:49.190 --> 00:19:52.020
DO WE EVEN, DO WE EVEN KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT -- I
00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:54.250
DON'T THINK THERE'S ENOUGH PREACHING ON THE
00:19:54.270 --> 00:19:56.090
DEVIL NOW.
00:19:56.110 --> 00:19:58.010
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN THE CHURCH, THERE WAS WAY
00:19:58.030 --> 00:19:59.170
TOO MUCH AND PEOPLE GOT TOO SPIRITUAL WARFARE
00:19:59.190 --> 00:20:03.050
MINDED, AND THAT WAS ALL THEY THOUGHT ABOUT OR
00:20:03.070 --> 00:20:05.160
TALKED ABOUT.
00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:07.110
WE DON'T NEED TO GLORIFY THE DEVIL BY TALKING
00:20:07.130 --> 00:20:09.070
ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING ALL THE TIME BECAUSE GOD IS
00:20:09.090 --> 00:20:11.060
DOING A LOT MORE THAN HE IS, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO
00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:13.210
RECOGNIZE WHEN HE'S AT WORK.
00:20:13.230 --> 00:20:17.220
I'LL TELL YOU A FUNNY STORY FROM THIS MORNING.
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.270
I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND MY E-MAIL WOULDN'T WORK
00:20:19.290 --> 00:20:22.260
ON MY PHONE, AND I KEPT GETTING THIS MESSAGE THAT
00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:25.110
I HAD TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A PASSWORD.
00:20:25.130 --> 00:20:28.280
I DON'T HAVE THESE THINGS, SO NOW WE'RE
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.180
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO HAS THE PASSWORD, AND THE
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.290
ONE PERSON WHO HAS THE PASSWORD WE CAN'T GET
00:20:35.010 --> 00:20:37.090
HOLD OF, SO BOTTOM LINE IS I'M TRYING TO GET THIS
00:20:37.110 --> 00:20:40.260
PHONE FIXED THE WHOLE TIME THAT I'M COMING
00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:43.190
HERE, AND I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW MY OWN ADVICE AND
00:20:43.210 --> 00:20:46.100
DO THE WARFARE OF REST AND NOT GET BOTHERED
00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:49.090
ABOUT IT, BUT OF ALL THE WARNINGS WHEN THAT WOULD
00:20:49.110 --> 00:20:54.110
HAPPEN, AND YOU KNOW WHEN IT GOT FIXED, WHEN I GOT
00:20:54.130 --> 00:21:00.270
ON THE GROUND HERE, IT FIXED.
00:21:00.290 --> 00:21:04.260
BUT FOR LIKE ALL THE WAY COMING BEFORE I LEFT MY
00:21:04.280 --> 00:21:10.100
HOUSE FOR THE AIRPORT, THE DEVIL JUST WANTS TO
00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:12.210
AGGRAVATE US.
00:21:12.230 --> 00:21:15.170
HE WANTS TO GET US IRRITATED AND UPSET AND
00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:17.240
AGGRAVATED, SO ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE THINGS WE
00:21:17.260 --> 00:21:21.030
REALLY NEED TO DO IS GET TO KNOW THE ENEMY.
00:21:21.050 --> 00:21:24.070
WHEN THE DEVIL WAS TRYING TO USE PETER TO KEEP
00:21:24.090 --> 00:21:29.130
JESUS FROM HIS SUFFERING AND HE SAID OH NO, LORD.
00:21:29.150 --> 00:21:37.080
THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU, WHEN JESUS WAS
00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:39.080
TRYING TO TELL HIM WHAT HE WAS GETTING READY TO
00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:40.270
GO THROUGH.
00:21:40.290 --> 00:21:42.230
AND HE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, GET BEHIND ME, SATAN.
00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:46.130
YOU'RE AN OFFENSE AND A HINDRANCE AND YOU'RE IN MY WAY.
00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:51.220
SO HERE HE RECOGNIZED THAT IT WASN'T PETER THAT
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:56.290
WAS TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM GOING TO THE CROSS,
00:21:57.010 --> 00:21:58.260
BUT IT WAS THE DEVIL WORKING THROUGH
00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:00.170
PETER'S WEAKNESS.
00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:03.190
AND I THINK THE ENEMY KNOWS EVERYBODY'S
00:22:03.210 --> 00:22:06.080
WEAKNESSES, INCLUDING OUR OWN, BETTER THAN WE KNOW
00:22:06.100 --> 00:22:08.160
THEM OURSELVES.
00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:10.130
SO KNOWING YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT BETTER IS VERY
00:22:10.150 --> 00:22:12.240
HELPFUL, AND REALIZING THAT THE ENEMY IS GOING
00:22:12.260 --> 00:22:16.140
TO WORK THROUGH PEOPLE, AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:19.000
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE
00:22:19.020 --> 00:22:20.290
AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T TALK TO THEM ABOUT
00:22:21.010 --> 00:22:24.020
THE THINGS THEY DO TO HURT US, BUT IN OUR
00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:26.080
PRAYERS WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE
00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:29.110
ENEMY, AND LET HIM KNOW WE RECOGNIZE WHAT HE'S
00:22:29.130 --> 00:22:32.040
TRYING TO DO, BECAUSE HE LIKES NOTHING BETTER THAN
00:22:32.060 --> 00:22:35.060
FOR US TO BLAME EVERYTHING ON PEOPLE.
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:38.020
- YEAH.
00:22:38.040 --> 00:22:39.260
- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BATTLES BELONG TO
00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:41.070
THE LORD.
00:22:41.090 --> 00:22:42.170
JOYCE MEYER.
00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:44.140
I HAVE -- YOUR BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF SPIRITUAL
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.280
WARFARE, WE'LL USE THAT TERM ALTHOUGH THAT TERM,
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.280
YOU KNOW, HAS SUCH CONNOTATIONS, NEGATIVE
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.200
PROBABLY CONNOTATIONS THAT WE WE'RE USING THAT
00:22:58.220 --> 00:23:01.270
TERM KIND OF LOOSELY HERE FOR TIME'S SAKE.
00:23:01.290 --> 00:23:06.100
BUT THERE'S -- YOU KNOW, WHAT I ULTIMATELY THINK
00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:11.060
CONTEXTUALLY, LIKE WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR
00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:15.000
TEACHING AND MY UNDERSTANDING, YOUR
00:23:15.020 --> 00:23:17.170
NUMBER ONE SELLING BOOK PROBABLY PRIOR TO THIS
00:23:17.190 --> 00:23:20.170
ONE WAS BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND WHERE YOU WERE
00:23:20.190 --> 00:23:23.040
TALKING ABOUT HOW THE WARFARE IS REALLY AN
00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:25.270
INTERNAL THING.
00:23:25.290 --> 00:23:27.210
SO SO FAR YOU'VE SAID LOVE IS WARFARE.
00:23:27.230 --> 00:23:30.060
AND OBEDIENCE AND THOSE TYPES OF WORDS THAT
00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:34.050
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE REALLY WHAT WARFARE IS.
00:23:34.070 --> 00:23:37.120
YOU JUST MENTIONED A MINUTE AGO, YOU SAID I
00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:41.240
STARTED STUDYING WHAT JESUS DID IN REGARD TO
00:23:41.260 --> 00:23:45.030
WARFARE, AND SO IF YOU TAKE THE -- IF YOU ZOOM OUT
00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:49.190
AND KIND OF WHAT TO SEE THE MEN LIKE CONTEXT,
00:23:49.210 --> 00:23:53.220
WOMEN CAN START THE MIDDLE OF THE SUBJECT AND
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.290
WORK THEIR WAY TO THE ENDS, BUT CONTEXTUALLY
00:23:56.010 --> 00:23:59.040
WHAT I THINK JESUS SAID ULTIMATELY AS HE WAS
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:02.090
ASCENDING, ALL POWER HAS BEEN GIVEN UNTO ME IN
00:24:02.110 --> 00:24:06.020
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
00:24:06.040 --> 00:24:07.210
WELL, I'M ON EARTH, OKAY.
00:24:07.230 --> 00:24:09.250
SO THAT APPLIES TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
00:24:09.270 --> 00:24:12.260
AND THEREFORE GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND DO YOUR
00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:15.250
THING, AND LO, I'LL BE WITH YOU THROUGH THE END
00:24:15.270 --> 00:24:17.250
OF THE AGE.
00:24:17.270 --> 00:24:19.150
ALL RIGHT.
00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:21.010
SO IF HE HAS ALL POWER, THAT MEANS THE DEVIL HAS
00:24:21.030 --> 00:24:22.140
NO POWER BECAUSE JESUS HAS IT ALL.
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.150
HE DELEGATES THAT TO US, SO THE ULTIMATE QUESTION
00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:28.080
IS HOW DOES THE ENEMY GET ANYTHING DONE IF
00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:32.180
BELIEVERS HAVE ALL POWER RESIDING IN THEM?
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:36.220
THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE DISCUSSION OF THIS BOOK IS.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.060
AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LOVE AND PATIENCE AND ALL
00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:41.250
THIS, PEACE AND REST.
00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:44.040
- AND REST.
00:24:44.060 --> 00:24:46.070
I MEAN, IF YOU THINK OF JESUS IF YOU COULD GIVE
00:24:46.090 --> 00:24:49.020
ONE WORD THAT YOU WOULD SAY DEFINES WHAT HE LOOKS
00:24:49.040 --> 00:24:54.060
LIKE, YOU'D HAVE TO SAY RESTED.
00:24:54.080 --> 00:25:00.040
HE NEVER GOT RATTLED.
00:25:00.060 --> 00:25:02.220
NEVER GOT UPSET.
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:05.050
I MEAN, IN THE TEMPLE HE CHASED OUT THE MONEY
00:25:05.070 --> 00:25:08.280
CHANGERS, SO THERE IS A RIGHTEOUS ANGER, BUT HE
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.130
ALWAYS STAYED IN REST, AND YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE
00:25:12.150 --> 00:25:17.050
OF THAT PEOPLE HAVE IN THE DAYS THAT WE LIVE IN?
00:25:17.070 --> 00:25:23.160
AND THE KIND OF REST THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT IS
00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:26.090
NOT LAYING DOWN AND TAKING A NAP.
00:25:26.110 --> 00:25:27.270
- RIGHT.
00:25:27.290 --> 00:25:30.020
- IT'S -- PEOPLE CAN GO ON VACATION AND WORRY THAT
00:25:30.040 --> 00:25:34.150
THEY PLANNED TO SPEND THEIR VACATION TIME TO
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.210
FIGURE OUT THEIR PROBLEMS.
00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.230
- WOW.
00:25:39.250 --> 00:25:41.280
- I'M GOING TO BE ON VACATION SOON, AND I'LL
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.270
HAVE TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
00:25:43.290 --> 00:25:46.130
I'LL HAVE TIME TO THINK THIS OVER.
00:25:46.150 --> 00:25:49.000
AND I'VE SHARED A COUPLE OF TIMES, NOT TOO
00:25:49.020 --> 00:25:53.000
PUBLICLY YET BUT TWO YEARS AGO IN DECEMBER I
00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:58.000
GOT VERY VERY SICK, AND I WON'T GET INTO ALL THE
00:25:58.020 --> 00:26:02.230
DETAILS, BUT TURNS OUT IT WAS JUST THE RESULT OF
00:26:02.250 --> 00:26:08.100
LONG TERM WORKING TOO HARD, AND STRESS IS NOT
00:26:08.120 --> 00:26:13.150
ALWAYS NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE YOUR LIFE.
00:26:13.170 --> 00:26:16.080
IT'S JUST TRYING TO DO MORE THAN WHAT ANY SANE
00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:21.000
PERSON COULD DO.
00:26:21.020 --> 00:26:22.290
AND THE THING THAT I DISCOVERED THAT WAS
00:26:23.010 --> 00:26:25.260
REALLY HELPFUL TO ME, AND THIS IS GOOD FOR
00:26:25.280 --> 00:26:28.190
EVERYBODY TO REMEMBER, ONLY A FOOL THINKS THEY
00:26:28.210 --> 00:26:31.100
CAN ALWAYS DO WHAT THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE.
00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:33.040
- WOW. WOW.
00:26:33.060 --> 00:26:35.200
- SEE?
00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:37.220
- WHAT?
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:39.050
[LAUGHTER]
00:26:39.070 --> 00:26:40.250
GOOD LORD.
00:26:40.270 --> 00:26:42.250
YOU SWUNG YOUR HEAD OVER PRETTY QUICK TO ME.
00:26:42.270 --> 00:26:44.270
[LAUGHTER]
00:26:44.290 --> 00:26:47.150
- WELL, SEE WHAT I CAN DO, I MEAN, OH MAN,
00:26:47.170 --> 00:26:49.280
I'M A WORKER.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.180
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A WORKER.
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.220
YOU KNOW, I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT 135 BOOKS, SO WE'D
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.010
BE ON VACATION, DAVE WOULD BE OUT PLAYING
00:26:56.030 --> 00:26:58.250
GOLF, AND I'D WRITE A BOOK.
00:26:58.270 --> 00:27:00.270
AND I HAD A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY.
00:27:00.290 --> 00:27:05.010
I HAD A BIG VISION.
00:27:05.030 --> 00:27:06.170
I HAD A BIG DREAM, AND I WAS A WORKER AND VERY
00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:09.290
RESPONSIBLE, AND GOD ANOINTED ME AND GAVE ME
00:27:10.010 --> 00:27:14.230
THE GRACE IN THE BEGINNING DAYS OF THE
00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:17.090
MINISTRY TO DO THAT BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING
00:27:17.110 --> 00:27:20.270
WE GOT THE MAIL -- I REMEMBER SITTING AT MY
00:27:20.290 --> 00:27:23.120
LITTLE TYPEWRITER ANSWERING MY 2 OR 3
00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:25.010
PIECES OF MAIL THAT CAME IN, PRAYING MY GUTS OUT
00:27:25.030 --> 00:27:29.170
THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME MONEY IN ONE OF THEM.
00:27:29.190 --> 00:27:31.020
[LAUGHTER]
00:27:31.040 --> 00:27:32.270
BUT AS I GOT OLDER, GOD DIDN'T REALLY WANT ME
00:27:32.290 --> 00:27:39.210
DOING THAT ANYMORE.
00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:41.160
THAT SEASON WAS OVER IN MY LIFE.
00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:43.250
I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE I HAD
00:27:43.270 --> 00:27:46.020
OTHER PEOPLE THAT I COULD LET DO SOME OF
00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:50.240
THE THINGS.
00:27:50.260 --> 00:27:52.000
AND I REALLY HAD TO LEARN TO SAY NO.
00:27:52.020 --> 00:27:56.070
I REALLY HAD TO LEARN WHAT I COULD DO AND I'M
00:27:56.090 --> 00:28:01.000
IN A POSITION NOW WHERE I CAN WRITE MY BOOKS, I CAN
00:28:01.020 --> 00:28:05.230
PRAY, I CAN STUDY, I CAN PUT MY MESSAGES TOGETHER,
00:28:05.250 --> 00:28:09.120
I CAN DO MY TV, I CAN COME AND DO THINGS LIKE
00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:11.230
THIS, BUT I MEAN AS YOU KNOW YOU JUST ASKED ME TO
00:28:11.250 --> 00:28:16.070
DO SOMETHING.
00:28:16.090 --> 00:28:17.130
- YES, I DID.
00:28:17.150 --> 00:28:18.240
- BEFORE WE CAME HERE AND I SAID I CAN'T.
00:28:18.260 --> 00:28:21.080
I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING RIGHT
00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:23.090
BEFORE A CONFERENCE, AND I'VE LEARNED THAT I'VE
00:28:23.110 --> 00:28:26.120
PUT OUT A LOT OF ENERGY IN MY CONFERENCES, AND I
00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:28.200
NEED TO REST BEFORE HIM AND AFTER THEM.
00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:32.060
- COME ON, BUNGEE JUMPING IS NOT THAT HARD!
00:28:32.080 --> 00:28:34.150
WE JUST WANT TO GO BUNGEE JUMPING WITH YOU.
00:28:34.170 --> 00:28:36.140
- VACATION A LITTLE BIT.
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.070
- AND SO I HAD TO MAKE SOME BIG CHANGES IN MY LIFE.
00:28:38.090 --> 00:28:43.180
WELL, DID THE DEVIL MAKE ME SICK?
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:48.190
WELL, GOD DOESN'T GO AROUND MAKING PEOPLE SICK,
00:28:48.210 --> 00:28:50.180
BUT I WAS OPENING THE DOOR THROUGH LACK OF WISDOM.
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:59.120
AND SEE, THAT'S THE THING THAT WE DON'T LIKE TO
00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:01.080
LOOK AT A LOT OF TIMES.
00:29:01.100 --> 00:29:02.170
LIKE ONE OF THESE CHAPTERS, CHAPTER 2 IS
00:29:02.190 --> 00:29:04.170
CALLED DO ALL THE CRISIS DEMANDS.
00:29:04.190 --> 00:29:07.130
AND ACTUALLY IN THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE IN
00:29:07.150 --> 00:29:10.030
EPHESIANS 6, IT SAYS DO ALL THAT CRISIS DEMANDS
00:29:10.050 --> 00:29:14.080
AND THEN STAND. AND SO GOD WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLES,
00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:22.010
HE HAS TO. WE CAN'T WIN. WE CAN'T WIN THEM.
00:29:22.030 --> 00:29:26.200
BUT THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO
00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:29.090
REALIZE IT'S NOT ALWAYS, NOT ALWAYS IS THERE
00:29:29.110 --> 00:29:33.100
SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE DONE, BUT THE FIRST THING
00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:37.140
THAT I ALWAYS ASK GOD WHEN THERE'S BIG TROUBLE
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.200
IS IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:41.220
THAT I'M NOT DOING? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT--
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.060
- LAURIE: I DID?
00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:46.180
- THAT I DID THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO?
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:49.080
SOMETIMES IT'S JUST STAND OR REST IN ME, BUT
00:29:49.100 --> 00:29:54.220
THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHEN THE ANSWERS HAVE BEEN
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.220
VERY PRACTICAL THINGS LIKE I HAD TO STOP TRYING
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:04.150
TO BE THE 35 YEAR OLD JOYCE MEYER.
00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:08.190
I COULDN'T KEEP DOING THAT.
00:30:08.210 --> 00:30:11.200
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE NO, LIKE YOU
00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:13.210
GUYS WERE SO SUPER GRACIOUS IT WAS
00:30:13.230 --> 00:30:15.280
WONDERFUL, BUT MOST PEOPLE IF THEY WANT TO
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.130
HEAR YES AND YOU TELL THEM NO, THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
00:30:19.150 --> 00:30:23.240
SO YOU HAVE TO GET READY TO MAYBE OFFEND SOME
00:30:23.260 --> 00:30:29.030
PEOPLE, MAYBE MAKE SOME PEOPLE MAD.
00:30:29.050 --> 00:30:32.250
I'M THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER SITUATION THAT
00:30:32.270 --> 00:30:34.210
IS AN EXAMPLE FROM DAVE'S LIFE.
00:30:34.230 --> 00:30:37.000
HE WAS HAVING WHAT HE CALLS THE YIPS.
00:30:37.020 --> 00:30:39.120
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS YET,
00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:41.100
BUT HE GETS THAT REAL NERVOUSY FEELING INSIDE,
00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:44.250
AND DAVE IS A MAN OF PEACE.
00:30:44.270 --> 00:30:46.150
HE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY KIND OF
00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:48.020
NERVES, NOT MINE OR HIS OR ANYBODY ELSE'S.
00:30:48.040 --> 00:30:50.120
[LAUGHTER]
00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:53.250
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT.
00:30:53.270 --> 00:30:55.110
AND HE'D GET THIS EVERY NIGHT AND IT WAS
00:30:55.130 --> 00:30:56.270
REALLY BOTHERING HIM.
00:30:56.290 --> 00:30:58.240
AND WHEN HE PRAYED TO GOD ABOUT IT, GOD SHOWED HIM
00:30:58.260 --> 00:31:01.080
THAT HE WAS DRINKING A CERTAIN SODA THAT HAD A
00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:06.150
LOT OF CAFFEINE IN IT, AND HE'D GO BY THIS
00:31:06.170 --> 00:31:08.260
DRIVE-THRU RESTAURANT AND GET A 32 OUNCE ONE EVERY
00:31:08.280 --> 00:31:11.120
DAY AND IT WAS TOO MUCH CAFFEINE.
00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:15.040
AND SO HE DOES NOT HAVE DIABETES, BUT SUGAR DOES
00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:19.010
THE SAME THING TO HIM NOW.
00:31:19.030 --> 00:31:20.290
AND DAVE COULD EAT SWEETS ALL OF HIS LIFE, BUT HE
00:31:21.010 --> 00:31:24.000
CANNOT EAT SUGAR EXCEPT RARELY ONCE IN A WHILE,
00:31:24.020 --> 00:31:27.140
AND HE CAN'T DRINK MUCH CAFFEINE.
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.030
HE DRINKS A LITTLE BUT HE CAN'T DRINK MUCH.
00:31:30.050 --> 00:31:32.040
WELL HE HAD A PROBLEM, GOD HEAL ME, BUT IN
00:31:32.060 --> 00:31:37.270
THAT CASE THERE WAS SOMETHING GOD
00:31:37.290 --> 00:31:39.240
NEEDED TO SHOW HIM.
00:31:39.260 --> 00:31:41.030
AND JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE THEN WE CAN GO ONTO
00:31:41.050 --> 00:31:43.070
SOMETHING ELSE, MY ASSISTANT WHO IS WITH US
00:31:43.090 --> 00:31:46.280
HERE, SHE HAD DEBILITATING MIGRAINE
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.220
HEADACHES FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, I MEAN
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.210
REALLY BAD HEADACHES, AND WAS ON MEDICINES, SOUGHT
00:31:52.230 --> 00:31:58.100
DOCTORS, EVERYTHING, STILL HAD THESE BAD HEADACHES.
00:31:58.120 --> 00:32:02.080
SHE HAD A HEADACHE BASICALLY ALMOST EVERY
00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:03.180
SINGLE DAY OF HER LIFE.
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:08.090
DID YOU GO OFF OF THE SWEETENER FOR THE
00:32:08.110 --> 00:32:11.200
HEADACHES OR JUST-- SHE FELT LIKE THAT
00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:15.030
GOD SPOKE TO HER.
00:32:15.050 --> 00:32:17.270
I MEAN THE SWEETENER SHE USED, SHE WOULD GET A CUP
00:32:17.290 --> 00:32:22.010
OF TEA, ICED TEA AND PUT WHAT, FIVE PACKAGES OF
00:32:22.030 --> 00:32:26.140
THE STUFF IN THERE?
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:28.100
AND IN HER COFFEE.
00:32:28.120 --> 00:32:30.000
AS SOON AS SHE WENT OFF OF IT, HEADACHES QUIT.
00:32:30.020 --> 00:32:33.080
- WOW.
00:32:33.100 --> 00:32:34.290
- AND SO I AM JUST SAYING THAT YOU DO
00:32:35.010 --> 00:32:37.270
WANT TO USE WISDOM.
00:32:37.290 --> 00:32:40.010
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO FEEL GOOD IF YOU'RE
00:32:40.030 --> 00:32:41.220
GONNA LIVE ON JUNK FOOD AND NEVER EXERCISE AND
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:45.020
GET FIVE HOURS OF SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WHEN YOU
00:32:45.040 --> 00:32:47.010
REALLY NEED EIGHT.
00:32:47.030 --> 00:32:48.280
SO IT'S WISE TO ASK GOD IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:54.010
THIS CRISIS THAT YOU NEED TO DO, AND EVEN THEN
00:32:54.030 --> 00:32:58.180
SOMETIMES YOUR PROBLEMS DON'T GO AWAY RIGHT AWAY
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.200
AND THAT'S WHEN HE SAYS HAVING DONE ALL THE
00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:02.180
CRISIS DEMANDS, IT'S IN THE CLASSIC AMPLIFIED, STAND.
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.270
BUT THAT WORD STAND CAN ALSO BE TRANSLATED ABIDE.
00:33:06.290 --> 00:33:10.030
IT'S NOT LIKE THIS...
00:33:10.050 --> 00:33:12.090
I'M GONNA RESIST THE DEVIL TILL HE GIVES IN.
00:33:12.110 --> 00:33:15.060
BUT IT'S RESTING IN GOD.
00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:19.040
SO EVEN IN CHRONICLES WHERE WE USE THE EXAMPLE
00:33:19.060 --> 00:33:23.200
OF JEHOSHAPHAT AND THE LORD SAID THE BATTLE'S
00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:25.190
NOT YOURS, IT'S MINE.
00:33:25.210 --> 00:33:27.160
THE ENEMY YOU SEE TODAY YOU'LL NEVER SEE AGAIN.
00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:29.250
BUT HE ALSO TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO.
00:33:29.270 --> 00:33:31.200
HE TOLD HIM TO SEND OUT SINGERS AND PRAISE AND
00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:35.170
WORSHIP, AND SO HE WENT AND GOT ON HIS KNEES AND
00:33:35.190 --> 00:33:37.240
STAYED THERE UNTIL THEY GOT THE VICTORY.
00:33:37.260 --> 00:33:39.270
SO SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT GOD WILL TELL YOU.
00:33:39.290 --> 00:33:41.250
JUST BE THANKFUL.
00:33:41.270 --> 00:33:43.160
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:44.280
OKAY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BATTLES BELONG
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.260
TO THE LORD. INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN GET THIS BOOK,
00:33:47.280 --> 00:33:51.080
BRAND-NEW. GET IT RIGHT NOW.
00:33:51.100 --> 00:33:53.120
I WANTED TO GO DOWN, IF YOU DON'T MIND, DOWN TO
00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:59.170
WHAT MIGHT BE, I MEAN I WANT TO HEAR, YOU'VE GOT
00:33:59.190 --> 00:34:04.150
PART ONE AND PART TWO OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE GOD'S WAY.
00:34:04.170 --> 00:34:09.150
I THINK I'M UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:34:09.170 --> 00:34:13.250
REST AND PEACE AND JOY AND LOVE BEING KIND OF
00:34:13.270 --> 00:34:18.270
WHAT WARFARE REALLY IS.
00:34:18.290 --> 00:34:20.130
I'M STARTING TO TRACK WHAT THIS BOOK
00:34:20.150 --> 00:34:23.180
IS REALLY TELLING US.
00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:25.060
BUT WHAT ARE YOU SAYING IN THOSE TWO CHAPTERS?
00:34:25.080 --> 00:34:27.180
- OKAY, IF YOU TAKE EPHESIANS 6 AND IT TALKS
00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:31.150
ABOUT HOW OUR FIGHT IS NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD
00:34:31.170 --> 00:34:38.190
BUT WITH PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS AND WICKEDNESS
00:34:38.210 --> 00:34:41.080
IN HIGH PLACES, AND IT SAYS PUT ON THE FULL
00:34:41.100 --> 00:34:46.150
ARMOR OF GOD THAT YOU MAY RESIST AND STAND, AND
00:34:46.170 --> 00:34:52.220
HAVING DONE ALL THE CRISIS DEMANDS, STAND
00:34:52.240 --> 00:34:55.080
FIRMLY IN YOUR PLACE.
00:34:55.100 --> 00:34:57.270
THEN IT STARTS TO GO THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT
00:34:57.290 --> 00:35:00.070
THINGS. PUT ON RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:35:00.090 --> 00:35:03.180
PUT ON YOUR SHOES OF PEACE.
00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:06.160
PUT ON THE BELT OF TRUTH.
00:35:06.180 --> 00:35:10.030
PUT ON THE HELMET OF SALVATION.
00:35:10.050 --> 00:35:12.040
WELL, HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:16.250
WELL, MOST PEOPLE SPEND MORE TIME GETTING DRESSED
00:35:16.270 --> 00:35:21.000
PHYSICALLY IN THE MORNING THAN THEY DO GETTING
00:35:21.020 --> 00:35:22.170
DRESSED SPIRITUALLY.
00:35:22.190 --> 00:35:25.230
I MEAN A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T EVEN SPEND THREE TO
00:35:25.250 --> 00:35:27.270
FIVE MINUTES WITH GOD IN THE MORNING.
00:35:27.290 --> 00:35:30.220
AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE, I'M NOT GOING OUT THE
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:34.090
DOOR WITHOUT TALKING TO GOD.
00:35:34.110 --> 00:35:36.250
I'M JUST NOT DOING IT BECAUSE THE LORD TOLD ME
00:35:36.270 --> 00:35:41.090
A LONG TIME AGO, YOU CAN'T DO WHAT YOU'RE
00:35:41.110 --> 00:35:43.100
DOING -- I MEAN I'LL JUST TELL YOU WHAT HE SAID --
00:35:43.120 --> 00:35:46.050
AND STAY ALIVE IF YOU DON'T SPEND TIME WITH ME.
00:35:46.070 --> 00:35:50.190
BECAUSE THE DEVIL HATES EVERYBODY BUT ESPECIALLY
00:35:50.210 --> 00:35:52.270
HATES PEOPLE THAT ARE PREACHING AND
00:35:52.290 --> 00:35:55.130
SPREADING THE GOSPEL.
00:35:55.150 --> 00:35:58.000
WE SEAT THINGS THAT THE APOSTLE PAUL HAD TO GO
00:35:58.020 --> 00:35:59.270
THROUGH IN ORDER TO DO WHAT HE DID.
00:35:59.290 --> 00:36:03.290
SO WE ALL GET ATTACKED, BUT I THINK THE MORE
00:36:04.010 --> 00:36:06.240
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO FOR GOD, AND YOU DON'T HAVE
00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:08.160
TO BE IN PUBLIC MINISTRY TO BE A MINISTER.
00:36:08.180 --> 00:36:11.260
I MEAN WE ALL HAVE A MINISTRY.
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:14.090
PAUL SAID IT SEEMS TO ME WHEN I TRY TO DO GOOD,
00:36:14.110 --> 00:36:17.290
EVIL ALWAYS COMES.
00:36:18.010 --> 00:36:19.290
WELL ISN'T IT THAT WAY?
00:36:20.010 --> 00:36:22.010
YOU MAKE A PLAN TO GET UP EARLY AND PRAY AND
00:36:22.030 --> 00:36:23.210
SOMETHING'S GONNA COME TO STAND IN YOUR WAY.
00:36:23.230 --> 00:36:29.000
AND THAT'S WHEN WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S
00:36:29.020 --> 00:36:31.210
REALLY NOT THE KIDS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR THAT
00:36:31.230 --> 00:36:36.050
NEEDS TO UPSET US.
00:36:36.070 --> 00:36:38.060
IT'S THE ENEMY TRYING TO KEEP US FROM DOING WHAT
00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:40.070
WE BELIEVE GOD TOLD US TO DO.
00:36:40.090 --> 00:36:42.100
SO IF YOU-- WHAT THOSE TWO CHAPTERS ARE ABOUT IS
00:36:42.120 --> 00:36:47.010
WHAT IT MEANS TO PUT ON.
00:36:47.030 --> 00:36:49.160
NOW LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS LIKE IS THERE A COLOR
00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:55.010
THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD ON YOU LAURIE?
00:36:55.030 --> 00:36:56.210
- LAURIE: OH, YEAH.
00:36:56.230 --> 00:36:57.250
- JOYCE: WHAT?
00:36:57.270 --> 00:36:59.060
- UM, WHAT COLOR DOESN'T LOOK GOOD ON ME?
00:36:59.080 --> 00:37:01.290
- I LOVE EVERY COLOR ON YOU.
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:03.270
[LAUGHTER]
00:37:03.290 --> 00:37:05.210
- JOYCE: OKAY, LIKE, LIKE--
00:37:05.230 --> 00:37:07.100
- LAURIE: GOOD ANSWER.
00:37:07.120 --> 00:37:09.140
- JOYCE: GOOD ANSWER. GOOD ANSWER. LIKE--
00:37:09.160 --> 00:37:13.040
- LAURIE: GOOD ANSWER, RIGHT.
00:37:13.060 --> 00:37:15.290
- ARMY GREEN MAKES ME LOOK LIKE I'M A DEAD
00:37:16.010 --> 00:37:18.060
PERSON. IT JUST LOOKS...
00:37:18.080 --> 00:37:21.060
OR LIKE THAT MUSTARD YELLOW COLOR.
00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:23.210
I LOOK SO BAD IN THAT.
00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:26.280
WELL, I WOULDN'T GO OUT IN THAT.
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.120
- LAURIE: RED LOOKS LOVELY ON YOU.
00:37:30.140 --> 00:37:31.270
- YEAH, RED LOOKS GOOD ON ME. I WORE RED TODAY.
00:37:31.290 --> 00:37:33.290
AND THE THING IS WE WEAR BEHAVIOR THAT LOOKS
00:37:34.010 --> 00:37:39.010
TERRIBLE ON US AS CHRISTIANS.
00:37:39.030 --> 00:37:41.130
- THAT'S GOOD. YEAH.
00:37:41.150 --> 00:37:44.260
- TO HAVE A BUMPER STICKER ON YOUR CAR
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:48.130
THAT'S A FISH AND BE, YEAH AND CUTTING
00:37:48.150 --> 00:37:51.220
EVERYBODY OFF AND YELLING AT PEOPLE AND MAYBE
00:37:51.240 --> 00:37:55.160
SAYING SOME NICE LITTLE WORDS YOU SHOULDN'T BE
00:37:55.180 --> 00:37:57.270
SAYING. SO WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT JESUS HAS ENTRUSTED
00:37:57.290 --> 00:38:06.040
US WITH HIS REPUTATION.
00:38:06.060 --> 00:38:08.270
CAN YOU GET AHOLD OF THAT.
00:38:08.290 --> 00:38:11.160
HE'S ENTRUSTED US WITH HIS REPUTATION.
00:38:11.180 --> 00:38:14.210
FOR SOME PEOPLE, YOU'RE THE ONLY JESUS THEY'RE
00:38:14.230 --> 00:38:17.090
EVER GONNA SEE, AND SO EVERY DAY WHEN WE GO OUT
00:38:17.110 --> 00:38:21.220
OF OUR HOUSE, WE GO TO WORK FOR THE LORD, AND
00:38:21.240 --> 00:38:25.110
YOU CAN PREACH AND NOT OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
00:38:25.130 --> 00:38:27.240
MATTER OF FACT, PROBABLY HOW WE LIVE IS MUCH MORE
00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:33.150
IMPORTANT THAN ALL OF OUR PREACHING TO PEOPLE.
00:38:33.170 --> 00:38:37.060
BUT LET'S TAKE THE BIBLE SAYS PUT ON RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:38:37.080 --> 00:38:41.260
WELL, HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE UNDER GUILT AND
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:47.230
CONDEMNATION ALMOST ALL THE TIME?
00:38:47.250 --> 00:38:51.270
I MEAN IF YOU TOOK A CHURCH FULL OF PEOPLE AND
00:38:51.290 --> 00:38:54.090
YOU WENT DOWN THIS LIST, HOW MANY ARE WEARING
00:38:54.110 --> 00:38:57.030
SHOES OF PEACE?
00:38:57.050 --> 00:38:59.200
WELL YOUR SHOES ARE SOMETHING YOU WALK IN,
00:38:59.220 --> 00:39:02.020
SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT WALKING IN PEACE.
00:39:02.040 --> 00:39:05.140
AND YOU KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE LAST
00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:07.100
THING THAT JESUS SAID WAS TO GO IN ALL THE WORLD
00:39:07.120 --> 00:39:09.290
AND PREACH THE GOSPEL AND I'LL BE WITH YOU, BUT ONE
00:39:10.010 --> 00:39:12.270
OF THE OTHER LAST THINGS HE SAID WAS MY PEACE I
00:39:12.290 --> 00:39:16.150
LEAVE WITH YOU, NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES DO I GIVE
00:39:16.170 --> 00:39:20.240
UNTO YOU BUT MY OWN SPECIAL PEACE I NOW GIVE
00:39:20.260 --> 00:39:23.000
AND BEQUEATH UNTO YOU.
00:39:23.020 --> 00:39:25.060
SO STOP ALLOWING YOURSELVES TO BE UPSET
00:39:25.080 --> 00:39:27.210
AND DISTURBED, AND STOP ALLOWING YOURSELVES-SO WE
00:39:27.230 --> 00:39:33.080
DO HAVE RESPONSIBILITY, AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE
00:39:33.100 --> 00:39:38.040
TO GET OVER THIS THINKING THAT GOD IS GOING TO DO
00:39:38.060 --> 00:39:41.230
EVERYTHING FOR US WHILE WE DO NOTHING.
00:39:41.250 --> 00:39:45.040
SPENDING TIME WITH GOD.
00:39:45.060 --> 00:39:49.280
WE'RE PROTECTED BY THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:53.020
HIS PRESENCE ACTUALLY IS PROTECTION OVER US AND
00:39:53.040 --> 00:39:57.000
STAYING PEACEFUL LIKE MY LITTLE PHONE THING THIS
00:39:57.020 --> 00:40:02.080
MORNING, I NEVER DID GET REALLY UPSET BUT THERE
00:40:02.100 --> 00:40:07.010
WOULD HAVE BEEN A TIME WHEN...
00:40:07.030 --> 00:40:10.140
- LAURIE: THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW.
00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:12.000
- I WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE DONE SOME MAJOR
00:40:12.020 --> 00:40:13.240
REPENTING BEFORE I CAME IN HERE AND TRIED TO DO
00:40:13.260 --> 00:40:16.180
THIS. AND WE DO NOT HAVE STRIFE IN OUR HOME.
00:40:16.200 --> 00:40:22.280
IF DAVE AND I GET INTO ANY KIND OF A
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.230
DISAGREEMENT NOW, WHICH IS RARE.
00:40:24.250 --> 00:40:26.280
YOU STAY MARRIED TO SOMEBODY LONG ENOUGH
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.060
AND YOU LEARN.
00:40:28.080 --> 00:40:30.130
- LAURIE: TAKE A NAP AND FORGET ALL ABOUT IT.
00:40:30.150 --> 00:40:32.040
- YOU JUST LEARN.
00:40:32.060 --> 00:40:33.240
AND THE MAIN THING WOMEN HAVE TO LEARN IS THAT MEN
00:40:33.260 --> 00:40:35.140
ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, AND SO EVEN IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE
00:40:35.160 --> 00:40:40.160
HE'S WRONG, THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST SAY
00:40:40.180 --> 00:40:44.170
UH-HUH HONEY, UH-HUH. UH-HUH. BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
00:40:44.190 --> 00:40:49.260
BEING RIGHT IS HIGHLY OVERRATED.
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.170
WHAT'S THE POINT?
00:40:51.190 --> 00:40:53.180
SO I GET IN A FIGHT TO BE RIGHT AND THEN I GET IN
00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:56.120
THE PULPIT AND THERE'S NO ANOINTING BECAUSE I DON'T
00:40:56.140 --> 00:40:59.290
HAVE PEACE ON MY LIFE.
00:41:00.030 --> 00:41:02.120
SO IT'S REALLY LEARNING HOW JESUS DID WARFARE.
00:41:02.140 --> 00:41:08.040
HE WAS IN PEACE ALL THE TIME, SPENT LOTS OF TIME
00:41:08.060 --> 00:41:11.090
WITH HIS FATHER.
00:41:11.110 --> 00:41:15.080
CERTAINLY NEVER WAS CONDEMNED.
00:41:15.100 --> 00:41:19.010
I MEAN I HAD SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GUILT
00:41:19.030 --> 00:41:21.250
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN MY CHILDHOOD
00:41:21.270 --> 00:41:23.210
THAT IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
00:41:23.230 --> 00:41:25.110
IT TOOK ME YEARS, YEARS TO GET OVER THAT BECAUSE
00:41:25.130 --> 00:41:29.290
I GREW UP THINKING, THE DEVIL HAD THIS RECORD
00:41:30.010 --> 00:41:34.020
PLAYING IN MY HEAD WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME, WHAT'S
00:41:34.040 --> 00:41:36.210
WRONG WITH ME, BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING'S GOT
00:41:36.230 --> 00:41:40.160
TO BE WRONG WITH ME FOR FOR MY FATHER TO WANT
00:41:40.180 --> 00:41:42.110
TO DO THIS TO ME. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING TO ALL
00:41:42.130 --> 00:41:44.120
THE OTHER GIRLS THAT I KNOW.
00:41:44.140 --> 00:41:46.090
WELL IT'S PROBABLY HAPPENING TO MORE OF THEM
00:41:46.110 --> 00:41:47.250
THAN WHAT I THOUGHT, BUT NOBODY TALKED ABOUT ABUSE.
00:41:47.270 --> 00:41:51.210
YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY TO GO TALK TO ABOUT IT.
00:41:51.230 --> 00:41:56.080
THERE WAS SO MUCH SHAME CONNECTED TO IT THAT YOU--
00:41:56.100 --> 00:41:59.250
SO I GREW UP GUILTY, AND IT-- GOD HAD TO WORK
00:41:59.270 --> 00:42:04.120
WITH ME TO GET ME OVER THAT.
00:42:04.140 --> 00:42:06.190
BUT UNTIL I DID, IT WAS ALWAYS AN OPEN DOOR FOR
00:42:06.210 --> 00:42:09.040
THE ENEMY BECAUSE HE'S THE ACCUSER OF THE
00:42:09.060 --> 00:42:11.100
BRETHREN. AND VERY LEGALISTIC.
00:42:11.120 --> 00:42:14.140
I MEAN YOU DON'T MAKE ONE LITTLE TINY MISTAKE IF
00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:18.140
THE ENEMY IS AFTER YOU WITHOUT HIM REMINDING YOU
00:42:18.160 --> 00:42:21.110
OF WHAT YOU DID WRONG.
00:42:21.130 --> 00:42:24.200
- YOU KNOW, I LOVE WHEN JESUS DID ENCOUNTER SATAN
00:42:24.220 --> 00:42:30.030
IN THE WILDERNESS AT HIS WEAKEST MOMENT WHERE HE
00:42:30.050 --> 00:42:34.230
FINALLY SAID TO HIM, HE SAID SATAN, AND I THINK
00:42:34.250 --> 00:42:37.110
THIS IS WHAT MAYBE SOME OF US THINK IS THAT THERE
00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:40.190
IS THE DEVIL BETWEEN ME AND WHAT GOD WANTS FOR
00:42:40.210 --> 00:42:44.110
ME, OR BETWEEN ME AND GOD, SO AND I JUST LOVE
00:42:44.130 --> 00:42:47.140
THAT JESUS SAID SATAN, YOU GET BEHIND ME.
00:42:47.160 --> 00:42:51.250
I'M NOT GONNA LOOK AT YOU ANY LONGER.
00:42:51.270 --> 00:42:53.210
YOU'RE NOT HOLDING.
00:42:53.230 --> 00:42:55.120
SO WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE'RE IN THOSE MOMENTS
00:42:55.140 --> 00:42:59.170
WHERE WE THINK THAT WE JUST HAVE TO FIGHT
00:42:59.190 --> 00:43:02.270
TO GET GOD'S BLESSING.
00:43:02.290 --> 00:43:05.080
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE FIGHT.
00:43:05.100 --> 00:43:07.140
- INSTEAD OF STAND.
00:43:07.160 --> 00:43:09.050
- INSTEAD OF STANDING THEY THINK IT'S THEIR
00:43:09.070 --> 00:43:11.060
BATTLE TO FIGHT.
00:43:11.080 --> 00:43:12.220
WELL THAT'S WHAT REALLY THIS IS ABOUT.
00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:14.100
IT'S ABOUT YOUR BATTLE DOES BELONG TO THE LORD,
00:43:14.120 --> 00:43:17.280
BUT WE'RE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD.
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.210
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT A BORING LIFE IT WOULD BE
00:43:21.230 --> 00:43:25.240
IF GOD JUST DID EVERYTHING FOR US AND
00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:28.260
THERE WAS NOTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DID?
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:33.250
WE DO WHAT HE SHOWS US TO DO AND I THINK THAT
00:43:33.270 --> 00:43:37.010
FIGHTING THE ENEMY IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
00:43:37.030 --> 00:43:40.190
PEOPLE THINK IT IS.
00:43:40.210 --> 00:43:42.040
I MEAN WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, IF YOU CAN JUST
00:43:42.060 --> 00:43:44.230
MANAGE TO STAY IN PEACE AND STAY THANKFUL.
00:43:44.250 --> 00:43:48.060
- IT FEELS LIKE.
00:43:48.080 --> 00:43:52.010
- WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING.
00:43:52.030 --> 00:43:53.160
- IT FEELS KIND OF LIKE THE WAY MY BRAIN IS
00:43:53.180 --> 00:43:56.060
INTERPRETING SO FAR IS YOU'RE SAYING, WHAT
00:43:56.080 --> 00:44:01.060
YOU'RE SAYING IS WARFARE IS REALLY EMBRACING THE
00:44:01.080 --> 00:44:06.050
FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS.
00:44:06.070 --> 00:44:08.180
AND THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS PROVIDED PEACE.
00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:13.040
JESUS SAID I AM YOUR PEACE IN ADDITION,
00:44:13.060 --> 00:44:15.290
IN A DIFFERENT PLACE.
00:44:16.010 --> 00:44:17.190
SO HE EITHER IS OR HE ISN'T.
00:44:17.210 --> 00:44:19.080
SO THE IDEA THAT YOU EMBRACE THE FINISHED WORK
00:44:19.100 --> 00:44:22.270
OF THE CROSS IS REALLY WARFARE, BUT YOU
00:44:22.290 --> 00:44:25.090
HAVE TO HAVE WISDOM.
00:44:25.110 --> 00:44:27.090
WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE
00:44:27.110 --> 00:44:29.000
SITUATIONS WITH DAVE AND YOUR SECRETARY, THE
00:44:29.020 --> 00:44:32.210
THOUGHT HIT MY HEAD, MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
00:44:32.230 --> 00:44:37.120
SHE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FROM A
00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:41.040
STROKE, BUT PRIOR TO THAT 15 YEARS AGO SHE WAS
00:44:41.060 --> 00:44:44.040
DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND HAD COLON CANCER SURGERY
00:44:44.060 --> 00:44:47.030
AND THE WHOLE THING.
00:44:47.050 --> 00:44:49.000
AND SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE LORD SPOKE TO HER
00:44:49.020 --> 00:44:52.220
VERY MUCH FOR A SEASON OF TIME, AND SHE WAS
00:44:52.240 --> 00:44:55.130
REALLY DISTURBED BY IT.
00:44:55.150 --> 00:44:56.290
AND FINALLY WHEN SHE WAS ALMOST GETTING OUT OF THE
00:44:57.010 --> 00:45:00.150
SEASON OF COMPLAINING LIKE, REALLY I HAVE A LOT
00:45:00.170 --> 00:45:03.050
TO DO AND I HAVE COLON CANCER AND I HAVE TO DEAL
00:45:03.070 --> 00:45:05.230
WITH ALL OF THIS.
00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:07.210
AND THE LORD SAID HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU USE
00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:11.230
THAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER IN YOUR LIFE?
00:45:11.250 --> 00:45:15.230
IT'S THE FIRST THING HE SAID IN A WHOLE SEASON OF
00:45:15.250 --> 00:45:18.220
COMPLAINING. AND SO, YOU KNOW.
00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:21.260
- SHE USED IT ALL THE TIME.
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:23.270
- ON ANYTHING. A LOT.
00:45:23.290 --> 00:45:25.250
- I MEAN ON MEATS.
00:45:25.270 --> 00:45:27.210
- ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER. SHE JUST--
00:45:27.230 --> 00:45:30.050
- ALL OVER EVERYTHING.
00:45:30.070 --> 00:45:31.140
- IT WAS AWFUL.
00:45:31.160 --> 00:45:32.240
SHE WAS A TERRIBLE COOK. NO, I'M KIDDING.
00:45:32.260 --> 00:45:34.220
SHE WAS ACTUALLY A GREAT COOK.
00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:37.050
MY MAMA GREW UP IN THE SOUTH AND KNEW HOW TO
00:45:37.070 --> 00:45:39.150
COOK ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
00:45:39.170 --> 00:45:41.050
- EVERYTHING WAS SWEET.
00:45:41.070 --> 00:45:42.140
- YOUR BATTLES BELONG TO THE LORD.

THAT MAYBE LEFT OFF.
00:46:07.010 --> 00:46:08.180

- YOU CAN GET IT ANY PLACE WHERE BOOKS ARE

SOLD OR FROM OUR MINISTRY.
00:46:25.100 --> 00:46:27.210
- YEAH, IT'S EASIER TO DO IT ONLINE.
00:46:27.230 --> 00:46:29.040
IT'S ONE DAY LATER IT'S THERE.
00:46:29.060 --> 00:46:31.240
IF YOUR PHONE WORKS.
00:46:31.260 --> 00:46:34.010
[LAUGHTER]
00:46:34.030 --> 00:46:37.050
SO KNOW YOUR ENEMY AND BE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR.
00:46:37.070 --> 00:46:42.100
WE'VE GOT ABOUT TEN MINUTES LEFT, SO WHAT
00:46:42.120 --> 00:46:45.230
CHAPTER DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT KIND OF
00:46:45.250 --> 00:46:47.070
LAYING THE SHIP.
00:46:47.090 --> 00:46:48.200
- I WANT TO RELATE TO SOMETHING THAT LAURIE
00:46:48.220 --> 00:46:50.020
SAID BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU
00:46:50.040 --> 00:46:51.280
WERE TALKING ABOUT JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.230
THE WAY THAT HE FOUGHT THE DEVIL WAS EVERY
00:46:54.250 --> 00:46:58.040
TIME THE DEVIL WOULD LIE TO HIM-- AND SEE THIS IS
00:46:58.060 --> 00:47:01.290
WHERE WE HAVE TO KNOW THE WORD BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T
00:47:02.010 --> 00:47:05.240
KNOW THE WORD, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE
00:47:05.260 --> 00:47:07.180
DEVIL IS LYING TO YOU.
00:47:07.200 --> 00:47:09.290
SO I WONDER HOW MANY LIES JUST IN THIS
00:47:10.010 --> 00:47:15.110
GROUP OF PEOPLE HERE.
00:47:15.130 --> 00:47:19.280
WELL NO, LET'S JUST TAKE IN THE WHOLE VIEWING AUDIENCE.
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.150
HOW MANY LIES DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU
00:47:24.170 --> 00:47:29.140
DON'T KNOW ARE LIES?
00:47:29.160 --> 00:47:32.020
BECAUSE SEE, THE DECEPTION MEANS TO
00:47:32.040 --> 00:47:35.010
BELIEVE A LIE, BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S A LIE,
00:47:35.030 --> 00:47:40.050
THEN TO YOU IT'S TRUTH AND IT BECOMES YOUR REALITY.
00:47:40.070 --> 00:47:45.090
LIKE THE DEVIL HAD ALWAYS TOLD ME, I DIDN'T KNOW IT
00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:47.260
WAS THE DEVIL BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:51.170
BECAUSE I'D BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED, I WOULD ALWAYS
00:47:51.190 --> 00:47:53.280
HAVE A SECOND RATE LIFE.
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.200
YOU'LL BE OKAY, BUT YOU'LL HAVE A SECOND RATE
00:47:57.220 --> 00:48:00.270
LIFE. YOU'LL NEVER REALLY RECOVER FROM ANYTHING
00:48:00.290 --> 00:48:04.040
LIKE THAT. YOU'LL NEVER BE REALLY QUITE NORMAL.
00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:09.210
WELL, THE DEVIL LIED TO JESUS AND JESUS
00:48:09.230 --> 00:48:14.090
IMMEDIATELY SAID IT IS WRITTEN.
00:48:14.110 --> 00:48:17.040
HE DIDN'T ARGUE WITH HIM.
00:48:17.060 --> 00:48:19.230
HE SAID IT IS WRITTEN AND HE QUOTED THE SCRIPTURE
00:48:19.250 --> 00:48:22.110
THAT UNDID THE LIE.
00:48:22.130 --> 00:48:25.070
- TRUTH TO A LIE.
00:48:25.090 --> 00:48:27.170
- YEAH, AND SO AS MUCH AS IT MAKES YOU FEEL ODD,
00:48:27.190 --> 00:48:33.010
I'M A STRONG PROPONENT OF CONFESSING THE WORD OUT
00:48:33.030 --> 00:48:36.120
LOUD, JUST TO LEARN TO TALK BACK TO THE DEVIL.
00:48:36.140 --> 00:48:42.090
NOW OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU'RE SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU CAN'T
00:48:42.110 --> 00:48:44.080
BE TALKING OUT LOUD, YOU CAN-- WOMEN KNOW HOW TO
00:48:44.100 --> 00:48:48.200
MURMUR, SO WE CAN [LAUGHTER] MURMUR IT
00:48:48.220 --> 00:48:51.240
OR MURDER IT UNDER OUR BREATH.
00:48:51.260 --> 00:48:55.260
BUT EVEN WITH ALL THAT, LAURIE, HE WENT THROUGH
00:48:55.280 --> 00:49:00.050
THAT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, FOUR DIFFERENT
00:49:00.070 --> 00:49:01.220
TIMES AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SATAN WENT
00:49:01.240 --> 00:49:06.250
AWAY, AND I LOVE THIS, TO WAIT FOR A
00:49:06.270 --> 00:49:10.090
MORE OPPORTUNE TIME.
00:49:10.110 --> 00:49:13.200
SO IF YOU THINK HE'S EVER GONNA COMPLETELY LEAVE
00:49:13.220 --> 00:49:15.290
YOU ALONE, THAT'S JUST A MYTH.
00:49:16.010 --> 00:49:20.270
- BUT WHAT I LOVE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO
00:49:20.290 --> 00:49:22.270
KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.
00:49:22.290 --> 00:49:24.110
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS BECAUSE THE
00:49:24.130 --> 00:49:25.290
TRUTH SETS YOU FREE.
00:49:26.010 --> 00:49:27.140
AND IT'S THE TRUTH YOU KNOW.
00:49:27.160 --> 00:49:29.060
- JESUS SAID YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH.
00:49:29.080 --> 00:49:30.150
- YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH
00:49:30.170 --> 00:49:31.150
WILL MAKE YOU FREE.
00:49:31.170 --> 00:49:33.180
AND PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT, AND I'VE GOT A
00:49:33.200 --> 00:49:37.190
COUPLE OF CHAPTERS IN HERE LIKE BREAKING
00:49:37.210 --> 00:49:39.190
SATAN'S ASSIGNMENT. WELL, HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:49:39.210 --> 00:49:42.190
I BELIEVE HE HANDS OUT ASSIGNMENTS TO
00:49:42.210 --> 00:49:44.270
HIS LITTLE DEMONS.
00:49:44.290 --> 00:49:46.280
MOST OF US HAVE A LITTLE.
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:51.190
- LAURIE: LITTLE EVIL.
00:49:51.210 --> 00:49:53.240
- YOU EVER SEE THE SHOW WHERE I HAVE THE LITTLE
00:49:53.260 --> 00:49:55.110
DEVIL SITTING ON MY SHOULDER?
00:49:55.130 --> 00:49:56.270
AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, HIS ASSIGNMENT
00:49:56.290 --> 00:50:01.180
IS TO SCREAM IN YOUR EAR ALL DAY, SO WHAT ARE YOU
00:50:01.200 --> 00:50:03.290
GONNA DO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
00:50:04.010 --> 00:50:07.150
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:50:07.170 --> 00:50:09.270
THAT'S THE PROBLEM, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:50:09.290 --> 00:50:12.150
AND WE NEED TO JUST SAY I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
00:50:12.170 --> 00:50:16.130
WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I'VE PRAYED AND I'LL DO WHAT
00:50:16.150 --> 00:50:20.090
GOD SHOWS ME TO DO, BUT IF HE DOESN'T SHOW ME TO
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:22.180
DO ANYTHING THEN I'M GONNA WAIT ON HIM AND
00:50:22.200 --> 00:50:24.200
GIVE THANKS WHILE I DO.
00:50:24.220 --> 00:50:26.160
AND IF YOU'RE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SAY IT OUT
00:50:26.180 --> 00:50:28.110
LOUD, I THINK IT HELPS YOU TO DO THAT.
00:50:28.130 --> 00:50:32.140
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU FIRST START TELLING PEOPLE TO
00:50:32.160 --> 00:50:35.100
CONFESS THINGS OUT LOUD, YOU FEEL A LITTLE BIT ODD
00:50:35.120 --> 00:50:39.280
WALKING AROUND IN YOUR HOUSE TALKING OUT LOUD.
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.210
BUT YOU KNOW, I MAYBE HAVE SAID IN MY LIFETIME
00:50:42.230 --> 00:50:46.140
NOW FIVE MILLION TIMES I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:50:46.160 --> 00:50:51.070
OF GOD IN CHRIST.
00:50:51.090 --> 00:50:54.030
AND I HAD TO SAY THAT AND SAY THAT, AND SEE EVERY
00:50:54.050 --> 00:50:57.030
TIME YOU SAY IT, IT'S LIKE ERASING ONE OF
00:50:57.050 --> 00:51:01.220
THOSE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME LIES.
00:51:01.240 --> 00:51:06.010
AND FINALLY, I JUST WAS AT JOEL'S LAST WEEKEND
00:51:06.030 --> 00:51:11.270
PREACHING, JOEL OSTEEN, AND I SAID THE DEVIL IS
00:51:11.290 --> 00:51:15.120
ALWAYS TRYING TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE
00:51:15.140 --> 00:51:20.020
WRONG, BUT GOD JUST GAVE ME THIS THING TO GIVE
00:51:20.040 --> 00:51:23.110
THEM, YOU'VE DONE MORE RIGHT IN YOUR LIFETIME
00:51:23.130 --> 00:51:25.240
THAN YOU HAVE WRONG.
00:51:25.260 --> 00:51:29.130
YOU TAKE DAVID, HE COMMITTED ADULTERY AND
00:51:29.150 --> 00:51:31.030
MURDER YET GOD SAID HE WAS A MAN AFTER HIS OWN
00:51:31.050 --> 00:51:33.220
HEART. HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?
00:51:33.240 --> 00:51:35.220
WELL DAVID DID SOME WRONG BUT HE DID A WHOLE LOT OF
00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:40.000
THINGS RIGHT. HE REALLY REALLY LOVED THE LORD.
00:51:40.020 --> 00:51:44.230
SO EVEN THINGS LIKE THAT THAT YOU'VE MADE BIG
00:51:44.250 --> 00:51:48.140
MISTAKES IN THE PAST, WHEN THE DEVIL STARTS
00:51:48.160 --> 00:51:51.270
ANNOYING YOU ABOUT THEM, YOU CAN SAY YES, THANK
00:51:51.290 --> 00:51:55.170
YOU FOR REMINDING ME HOW GRACIOUS GOD IS.
00:51:55.190 --> 00:51:57.240
HE WAS SO GOOD TO FORGIVE ME.
00:51:57.260 --> 00:52:00.210
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE A LOT
00:52:00.230 --> 00:52:02.030
OF THINGS RIGHT TOO.
00:52:02.050 --> 00:52:04.040
- WE WERE SITTING ON A SET WITH JORDAN RUBIN WHO
00:52:04.060 --> 00:52:10.040
WAS SUFFERING WITH A DEBILITATING ILLNESS THAT
00:52:10.060 --> 00:52:17.040
ALMOST TOOK HIS LIFE WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG GUY,
00:52:17.060 --> 00:52:20.040
AND HE WAS CRAMPING INTERNALLY IN HIS BODY,
00:52:20.060 --> 00:52:23.280
AND HE WAS VERY SICK.
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:26.220
HE HAD ULCERATIVE COLITIS.
00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:28.210
HE WAS PASSING BLOOD. IT WAS A MESS.
00:52:28.230 --> 00:52:31.070
AND THE FIRST THING HE COULD THINK TO THANK GOD
00:52:31.090 --> 00:52:36.040
FOR IN HIS CONDITION WAS THE FOUR MINUTES IN
00:52:36.060 --> 00:52:39.160
BETWEEN THE CRAMPS.
00:52:39.180 --> 00:52:42.000
WHERE I WASN'T CRAMPING AND EMITTING BLOOD AND
00:52:42.020 --> 00:52:45.180
HAVING TO GO TO THE BATHROOM 40 TIMES A DAY.
00:52:45.200 --> 00:52:48.190
AND THAT WAS FOUR MINUTES, THEN IT GREW TO
00:52:48.210 --> 00:52:53.050
SIX, THEN IT GREW TO EIGHT, AND THEN IT GREW
00:52:53.070 --> 00:52:55.230
TO 20. AND HE WAS THANKFUL.
00:52:55.250 --> 00:52:58.230
HE LEARNED TO SAY SOMETHING THANKFUL ABOUT
00:52:58.250 --> 00:53:01.150
A DISEASE THAT WAS LITERALLY TAKING HIS LIFE.
00:53:01.170 --> 00:53:05.080
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ADOPTING AND WHAT I
00:53:05.100 --> 00:53:10.260
BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING IN THIS BROADCAST, MY BRAIN
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:16.220
IS PERCEIVING IT AS YOU PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF
00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:21.090
GOD NOT TO FIGHT, TO STAND.
00:53:21.110 --> 00:53:23.100
AND THE WORD SAYS THAT, TO STAND.
00:53:23.120 --> 00:53:25.020
SO WHEN YOU STAND THERE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, IN
00:53:25.040 --> 00:53:28.140
SALVATION, IN PEACE, THEN THE BATTLE THEN IS TURNED
00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:33.160
OVER TO THE LORD AND HE FIGHTS IT AND WINS IT.
00:53:33.180 --> 00:53:36.070
YOU HAVE TO STAND.
00:53:36.090 --> 00:53:37.180
YOU HAVE TO REMAIN IN PEACE.
00:53:37.200 --> 00:53:39.140
- YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
00:53:39.160 --> 00:53:42.210
- OKAY, WITH THAT IN MIND, WE'VE GOT JUST A MINUTE.
00:53:42.230 --> 00:53:45.200
WE'LL MAYBE HAVE ONE EXTRA FINAL THOUGHT BUT
00:53:45.220 --> 00:53:48.130
PRAY FOR THE AUDIENCE FOR THIS SUBJECT.
00:53:48.150 --> 00:53:50.260
THIS IS FANTASTIC. THANK YOU, JOYCE.
00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:52.290
- FATHER, WE PRAY IN JESUS' NAME FOR EVERYONE
00:53:53.010 --> 00:53:55.020
WHO IS HEARING THIS THAT THEY WOULD KNOW YOU, KNOW
00:53:55.040 --> 00:54:00.110
WHO YOU ARE, BUT WE ALSO PRAY THAT THEY WOULD KNOW
00:54:00.130 --> 00:54:04.010
THE ENEMY, THAT THEY WOULD RECOGNIZE WHEN
00:54:04.030 --> 00:54:07.290
HE'S WORKING AND NOT BLAME IT ON PEOPLE OR
00:54:08.010 --> 00:54:10.090
CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THAT THEY WOULD KNOW WHO THEY
00:54:10.110 --> 00:54:13.080
ARE, THAT THEY WOULD KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN YOU AND
00:54:13.100 --> 00:54:18.140
THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS AND THAT WARFARE DOESN'T
00:54:18.160 --> 00:54:22.280
HAVE TO BE AN EXHAUSTING FIGHT WHERE YOU JUST
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:26.270
FIGHT AND WEAR YOURSELF OUT.
00:54:26.290 --> 00:54:29.140
WE CAN LEARN HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE YOUR WAY.
00:54:29.160 --> 00:54:33.100
HELP THEM LEARN HOW TO STAY IN REST, HOW TO DO
00:54:33.120 --> 00:54:36.110
THE WARFARE OF LOVE, HOW TO PUT ON RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:54:36.130 --> 00:54:42.120
HOW TO TIGHTEN THAT BELT OF TRUTH WHEN THEY'RE IN
00:54:42.140 --> 00:54:46.090
A DIFFICULT TIME AND TO WEAR THE HELMET OF
00:54:46.110 --> 00:54:49.090
SALVATION, TO THINK LIKE A PERSON WHO IS BORN
00:54:49.110 --> 00:54:52.010
AGAIN. FATHER, TEACH US ALL EVERY DAY TO BE MORE
00:54:52.030 --> 00:54:59.070
WATCHFUL AND TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN OUR WALK WITH YOU.
00:54:59.090 --> 00:55:05.190
I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA OPEN PEOPLE'S EYES
00:55:05.210 --> 00:55:08.240
AND TEACH THEM THINGS THAT THEY HAVE NOT
00:55:08.260 --> 00:55:12.190
PREVIOUSLY KNOWN, THAT THE ENEMY IS GONNA
00:55:12.210 --> 00:55:15.240
LOSE MUCH GROUND.
00:55:15.260 --> 00:55:18.050
I ASK YOU TO PROTECT THIS BOOK, AND I ASK YOU TO
00:55:18.070 --> 00:55:22.230
GIVE IT FAVOR THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE DRAWN TO GETTING
00:55:22.250 --> 00:55:26.080
IT THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THEY'RE GETTING IT,
00:55:26.100 --> 00:55:28.270
BUT THEY WOULD GET SOME UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HOW
00:55:28.290 --> 00:55:33.110
THEY CAN HAVE A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL VICTORIOUS WALK
00:55:33.130 --> 00:55:37.030
WITH YOU IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.
00:55:37.050 --> 00:55:41.130
- YOUR BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD.
00:55:41.150 --> 00:55:43.000
IT REALLY DOES.
00:55:43.020 --> 00:55:44.180
[APPLAUSE]
00:55:44.200 --> 00:55:47.140
BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO A LIE, IF
00:55:47.160 --> 00:55:51.170
YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE SITUATION, THIS IS
00:55:51.190 --> 00:55:53.290
WHY JESUS WOULD SAY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH,
00:55:54.010 --> 00:55:55.290
THE TRUTH THE MAKE YOU FREE.
00:55:56.010 --> 00:55:57.090
IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S A LIE YOU DON'T KNOW TO
00:55:57.110 --> 00:55:58.280
SPEAK TRUTH TO A LIE.
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:00.220
BUT ULTIMATELY THAT'S WHY THIS BOOK EXISTS.
00:56:00.240 --> 00:56:05.230
AND JOYCE, THANK YOU FOR TAKING ON THIS SUBJECT
00:56:05.250 --> 00:56:11.070
BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD AND
00:56:11.090 --> 00:56:13.100
COMPLETELY KIND OF MESSED UP.
00:56:13.120 --> 00:56:16.280
- SHOWS US HOW TO CAST OUR CARES ON JESUS.
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:19.130
- THANK YOU LORD.
00:56:19.150 --> 00:56:20.200
- BECAUSE HE CARES FOR US.
00:56:20.220 --> 00:56:22.060
I LOVE YOU JOYCE MEYER. I THINK YOU'RE AMAZING.
00:56:22.080 --> 00:56:24.240
- WE ENJOY IT. LOVE IT.
00:56:24.260 --> 00:56:26.120
[APPLAUSE]
00:56:26.140 --> 00:56:28.140
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
00:56:28.160 --> 00:56:29.270
YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK.
00:56:29.290 --> 00:56:32.020
- WELL JUST REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST,
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:34.250
AND THAT GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN
00:56:34.270 --> 00:56:36.180
HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.
00:56:36.200 --> 00:56:40.020
AND YOU REALLY ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR.
00:56:40.040 --> 00:56:43.240
IN LUKE 10 IT SAYS BEHOLD I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER
00:56:43.260 --> 00:56:49.100
AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE POWER THE ENEMY POSSESSES.
00:56:49.120 --> 00:56:53.210
HE HAS POWER. YOU HAVE POWER.
00:56:53.230 --> 00:56:56.100
BUT YOU HAVE AUTHORITY.
00:56:56.120 --> 00:56:58.010
HE DOESN'T HAVE AUTHORITY. YOU DO.
00:56:58.030 --> 00:57:00.120
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:57:00.140 --> 00:57:01.290
YOUR BATTLES BELONG TO THE LORD.
00:57:02.010 --> 00:57:03.260
GET IT RIGHT NOW. AMAZON.
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:05.170
SEE YOU NEXT TIME. BYE BYE.
