ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: DON'T SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY WHEN GOD HAS CALLED
YOU TO EXCELLENCE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD "MEDIOCRE" MEANS?
"TO LIVE HALFWAY BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE."
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF.
NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT EXCITING?
JUST-- [AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND HEY, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M READY FOR THIS MYSELF,
BUT I'LL MAKE IT A SUGGESTION TO YOU IN CASE YOU'RE FURTHER AHEAD
THAN I AM.
IF YOU'RE REALLY BOLD AND READY TO BE HUMBLED, ASK A GOOD FRIEND
OR A LOVING FAMILY MEMBER TO TELL YOU HOW THEY SEE YOU.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I'M TRYING TO THINK IF I'VE GOT A LOVING FAMILY MEMBER
OR A FRIEND THAT I'D BE WILLING TO DO THAT WITH.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: MY GOSH, THERE'S NO TELLIN'S WHAT YOU MIGHT HERE.
TELL SOMEBODY, "WHAT DO YOU SEE AS MY STRENGTHS AND WHAT DO YOU
SEE AS MY WEAKNESSES?"
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: NOW, THE GOOD THING ABOUT DOIN' IT WITH DAVE IS I
DON'T KNOW HOW GOD EXACTLY PUT DAVE TOGETHER, BUT HE IS EXACTLY
WHAT I NEEDED TO SURVIVE LIFE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: BECAUSE I SAID TO HIM NOT ALL THAT LONG AGO, I SAID,
"SO IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT ME, IF THERE WAS ANYTHING
YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ME WORK ON OR CHANGE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?"
AND HE SAID, "NOTHIN', I LIKE YOU JUST LIKE YOU ARE."
AUDIENCE: AWW.
JOYCE: WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING HE DIDN'T ASK ME 'CAUSE I
COULD'VE PROBABLY WHIPPED OUT A LIST.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, I'M JUST TELLIN' YA
THE TRUTH 'CAUSE JUST-- SO, MAN, HE IS
AN EXAMPLE TO ME.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: HERE'S SOMETHIN' YOU COULD DO TO KIND OF ADD A SPARK
TO YOUR LIFE.
LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR BODY.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE VERY AMAZING.
TRULY, WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE.
I'M SERIOUS, GET ONLINE AND JUST PUT IN: "HOW DOES THE HUMAN BODY
FUNCTION?
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET YOU THROUGH 1 DAY?"
YOU'VE GOT 6 QUARTS OF BLOOD IN YOUR BODY AND IT CIRCULATES
THROUGH YOUR BODY 3 TIMES EVERY MINUTE.
EVERY MINUTE, ALL YOUR BLOOD IN YOUR BODY CIRCULATES
THROUGH THREE TIMES, WOW.
YOUR BLOOD TRAVELS 12,000 MILES INSIDE YOUR BODY EACH DAY.
SEE?
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE, "WOW.
WOW."
CAN I TELL YA SOMETHIN'?
GOD WANTS US TO LIVE WITH A LOUDER, "WOW."
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: WE NEED A BIGGER, "WOW."
WOW.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: YOUR HEART BEATS 35 MILLION TIMES EACH YEAR.
AUDIENCE: WOW.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I CAN SEE THE REST OF THIS CONFERENCE IS GONNA BE
GOOD, ISN'T IT?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: YOU HAVE 60,000 MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS INSIDE
YOUR BODY.
AUDIENCE: WOW.
JOYCE: SEE?
WHOO, THIS IS GOOD.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OKAY, I'M FEELING LED OF THE LORD TO GO ON NOW TO
SOMETHIN' ELSE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: DON'T LET YOUR RELATIONSHIPS GET STALE,
ESPECIALLY IN A MARRIAGE.
AND DON'T PUT ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE OTHER
PERSON TO PERK IT UP.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NEXT THING I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT, ANOTHER WAY
YOU CAN MAKE EVERY DAY BETTER.
REFUSE TO SETTLE FOR LESS THAN YOUR BEST LIFE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: REFUSE TO SETTLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IN GENESIS 11:31--I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
I ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS IN MY WOMEN'S CONFERENCE
2 WEEKS AGO: "AND TERAH TOOK ABRAM HIS
SON, LOT THE SON OF HARAN, HIS GRANDSON, AND SARAI HIS
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, HIS SON ABRAM'S WIFE," NOW, WATCH THIS, "AND
THEY WENT FORTH TOGETHER TO GO FROM UR OF THE CHALDEES
INTO THE LAND OF CANAAN;" NOW, WHERE WERE THEY HEADED?
AUDIENCE: CANAAN.
JOYCE: CANAAN.
"BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO HARAN, THEY SETTLED THERE."
WOW, WHAT A LESSON THAT IS.
I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE IN THEIR LIFE START OUT TO DO
ONE THING, BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THEY GET TIRED, THEY
GET WEARY, AND THEY JUST SETTLE FOR SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF NOT
REALLY WHAT THEY WANTED, BUT SOMETHING THEY THINK THEY CAN
PUT UP WITH.
I WONDER IF YOU JUST HAVE A LIFE THAT YOU'RE JUST PUTTING UP
WITH, OR IF YOU HAVE THE LIFE THAT YOU REALLY WANT.
ARE YOU REALLY ON A FAST TRACK TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT JESUS DIED
TO GIVE YOU?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: OR HAVE YOU JUST SETTLED SOMEWHERE?
SO MANY PEOPLE SETTLE.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF KANSAS AND YOU
WANNA LIVE BY THE OCEAN, DON'T GET TIRED AND DECIDE TO LIVE
BY THE RIVER.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: DON'T SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY WHEN GOD HAS CALLED
YOU TO EXCELLENCE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD "MEDIOCRE" MEANS?
"TO LIVE HALFWAY BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE."
YOU'RE NOT REALLY A FAILURE.
YOU WOULDN'T SAY YOU'RE A FAILURE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T REALLY
SAY YOU'RE A SUCCESS.
IF YOUR GOAL WHEN YOU GET MARRIED IS TO LOVE YOUR SPOUSE
UNCONDITIONALLY, THEN DON'T SETTLE FOR JUST TOLERATING THEM,
WOW.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: IF YOU SET OUT TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD, I MEAN,
YOU WANNA KNOW YOUR BIBLE, YOU WANNA REALLY KNOW GOD, DON'T
SETTLE FOR JUST READING A CHAPTER ONCE A DAY JUST
TO PUT IN YOUR TIME WITH GOD.
IF YOU SET OUT TO LOSE 20 POUNDS, DON'T SETTLE FOR
2 BECAUSE YOU GOT HUNGRY.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: AND THEN GAIN THAT BACK PLUS MORE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OKAY, LET'S PLAY THE WHAT-IF GAME FOR A MINUTE.
WHAT IF--NOW JUST A--WHAT IF YOU WOULD DECIDE TODAY TO GIVE GOD
YOUR ALL?
I MEAN, "THAT'S IT, I'M GONNA---I'M MAKIN'
THE COMMITMENT.
I'M GOIN' ALL OUT FOR GOD."
WHAT IF YOU CONFRONTED PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY
FROM 'EM?
HOW DIFFERENT WOULD OUR LIVES BE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR IF WE
STARTED TO REALLY CONFRONT THINGS INSTEAD OF HIDING FROM
THEM, HOPING THEY'LL GO AWAY?
HERE'S A GOOD ONE WE CAN ALL USE.
WHAT IF YOU DECIDED TODAY TO STOP PROCRASTINATING?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WOW, HMM.
WHAT IF YOU DEMANDED THE BEST FROM YOURSELF INSTEAD OF JUST
PUTTING UP WITH AVERAGE?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHAT IF YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE AGAIN?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: YEAH, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF
YOU NEVER AGAIN--?
WHAT ABOUT IF WE NEVER AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT ANYTHING?
HMM.
WHAT IF YOU REALLY BELIEVED THE DEVIL'S A LIAR AND YOU
NEVER LISTENED TO HIM AGAIN?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: THE BIBLE'S FULL OF SCRIPTURES ABOUT
DOIN' YOUR BEST.
"YOU MUST LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL
YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH."
WE CAN'T BE PART-TIME CHRISTIANS.
IT'S NOT A SUNDAY MORNING EVENT.
THIS TAKES EVERYTHING YOU GOT.
AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TODAY, YOU KNOW THAT 'CAUSE THIS
IS FRIDAY MORNING.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: AND YOU'LL BE BACK TONIGHT AND PROBABLY IN
THE MORNING, AND THEN YOU'LL PROBABLY GO TO CHURCH ON
SUNDAY MORNING.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: I JUST WANNA READ YOU ONE SCRIPTURE, 2 TIMOTHY 2:15:
"STUDY AND BE EAGER TO DO YOUR UTMOST TO PRESENT YOURSELF TO
GOD APPROVED (TESTED BY TRIAL), A WORKMAN WHO HAS NO CAUSE TO BE
ASHAMED."
ISN'T THAT GOOD?
"DO YOUR UTMOST."
OKAY, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN SAYIN' THIS LATELY.
I REALLY LIKE THIS.
I'MMA SAY IT TO YOU TOO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WE THINK WE'RE DOING HERE ON EARTH, BUT
I'LL TELL YA, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE'RE GONNA LIVE HERE IS SO
PATHETICALLY SMALL COMPARED TO ETERNITY.
AND I TELL YA, THERE IS JUST SO MANY THINGS WE GET ALL UPTIGHT
ABOUT THAT JUST REALLY JUST DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL
WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT.
AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO SPEND MORE OF OUR HERE TIME
GETTING READY FOR THERE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AMEN?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, BUT I THINK JESUS IS COMIN'
BACK SOON.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, THERE'S NOT TOO MANY SIGNS LEFT TO BE
FULFILLED, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'LL BE IN MY LIFETIME, BUT I
HAVE A FEELING IT'S GONNA BE SOON.
YOU KNOW, I SAY, "WELL, THE APOSTLE PAUL
SAID IT WAS GONNA BE SOON.
WELL, IT'S GOTTA BE SOONER NOW THAN IT WAS THEN."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: NEXT THING I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS MAKE
AN INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF.
WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' A BAD DAY, NOW, THIS MAY SOUND ODD, BUT
WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' A BAD DAY, JUST GO DO SOMETHIN'
FOR YOURSELF, HMM.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: OKAY, THIS IS GONNA TAKE A WHILE, ISN'T IT?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
TRUTHFULLY, THE FLESH IS SO STUPID.
WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' A BAD DAY, YOU KINDA WANNA PUNISH YOURSELF,
MAKE IT WORSE.
I MEAN, YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR MYSELF?
I CAN'T GO SHOPPIN' EVERY TIME I HAVE A BAD DAY."
WELL, I'M NOT TALKIN' ABOUT BEIN' FOOLISH, BUT I MEAN,
IF YOU'RE HAVIN' A BAD DAY, GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE A WALK.
AND I WAS WALKIN' THE OTHER MORNING AND I THOUGHT--I THANKED
GOD FOR SOMETHIN' I'D NEVER THANKED HIM FOR BEFORE IN MY
LIFE, I DON'T THINK.
I THANKED HIM, "GOD, THANK YOU FOR COLOR."
JUST IMAGINE IF EVERYTHING WAS ONE COLOR.
EVEN IF IT WAS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR,
IT WOULD STILL GET BORING.
JUST COLOR, I MEAN, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT COLORS IN
THE WORLD.
I MEAN, JUST A WALK CAN MAKE YOU REALIZE HOW AMAZING GOD IS.
AND WHEN YOU REALIZE HOW AMAZING GOD IS, IT'LL MAKE ANY BAD DAY
BETTER.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: DON'T JUST SIT HOME AND THINK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS.
GET OUT.
TAKE A WALK.
DRINK A CUP OF COFFEE IF YOU LIKE COFFEE.
DRINK A CUP OF TEA IF YOU LIKE TEA.
DO SOMETHIN'.
GO GET A PEDICURE.
DAVE GETS PEDICURES.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: JUST IN CASE SOME OF YOU GUYS, "OH, I AM NEVER GONNA
GO GET A PEDICURE."
WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSIN' OUT ON.
GETTIN' YOUR FEET RUBBED FEELS REALLY GOOD.
"DO YOU NOT KNOW," 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 AND 20, "THAT
YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES WITHIN
YOU, WHOM YOU HAVE RECEIVED [AS A GIFT] FROM GOD?
YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN, YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE
[PURCHASED WITH A PRECIOUSNESS AND PAID FOR, MADE HIS OWN].
SO THEN, HONOR GOD AND BRING GLORY TO HIM IN YOUR BODY."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: SO I'VE BEEN HARPIN' ON THIS FOR A FEW YEARS,
BUT I'M GONNA KEEP IT UP.
INVEST IN YOURSELF AND TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY TO GET DECENT
QUALITY FOOD.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AN INVESTOR DOES NOT EXPECT TO REAP A PROFIT WITHOUT
MAKING AN INVESTMENT.
LISTEN TO ME, DO NOT EXPECT TO MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH AND FEEL
GOOD IF YOU ARE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY INVESTMENT IN TAKING CARE OF
YOURSELF.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE COMMANDED TO DO
BY SCRIPTURE.
AND I WILL TELL YA THIS, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, YOU WILL HAVE FAR
LESS BAD DAYS IF YOU START DOIN' SOME THINGS TO ENSURE THAT YOU
FEEL GOOD EVERY DAY BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHIN' THAT WILL RUIN
A GOOD DAY WORSE THAN FEELIN' BAD ALL THE TIME, AMEN?
"I'M SO TIRED."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OH, WELL, YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ME SAY ALL THIS.
I THINK I'LL FIND SOMETHIN' ELSE TO TALK ABOUT.
WORRY LESS, ELIMINATE STRESS, HMM, YES, YES, C'MON, HELP ME.
HELP ME PREACH.
PSALM 37:1: "FRET NOT YOURSELF."
ONE TIME I WAS PREACHIN' OUT OF THIS SCRIPTURE AND A LADY STOOD
UP OUT THERE AND SHE SAID, "THAT'S ME, SISTER FRET."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST FRETTING SO MUCH OVER WHAT'S
GOIN' ON IN THE WORLD TODAY.
AND, "OH, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
EVERYBODY'S SO EVIL.
EVERYBODY'S SO WICKED."
C'MON, LET'S BELIEVE THE BIBLE TODAY.
"FRET NOT YOURSELF BECAUSE OF EVILDOERS, NEITHER BE ENVIOUS
AGAINST THOSE WHO WORK UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
FOR THEY SHALL SOON BE CUT DOWN LIKE THE GRASS, AND WITHER LIKE
THE GREEN HERB."
GOD'S GONNA TAKE CARE OF US.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T NEED TO DO
OUR PART.
BUT IF I CAN UNDERSTAND MY BIBLE AT ALL, WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THIS
WORLD, GOD IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW, SO WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME, "WELL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT ARE GOIN' ON?"
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IS WHEN YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU CAN
DO--DON'T EXPECT GOD TO HELP YA IF YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR PART.
BUT IF YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU CAN DO, THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST
GOD TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND HE WILL, AMEN?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE TELL PEOPLE
TO GO VOTE, YOU KNOW?
JUST, YOU SAY, "WELL, THE PERSON I'M GONNA VOTE FOR PROBABLY
WON'T GET ELECTED ANYWAY."
WELL, I DON'T CARE.
GO VOTE ANYWAY BECAUSE AT LEAST IF YOU VOTE, THEN GOD CAN
PROTECT YOU.
YOU'VE DONE YOUR PART.
YOU'VE DONE YOUR CIVIC DUTY.
IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA VOTE, DO NOT EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE THING
GOING ON IN THIS NATION.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: WE ALWAYS THINK, "THEY NEED TO FIX SOMETHING.
THEY--" WHO ARE THEY?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: WE'RE THEY, HMM.
STOP FRETTING.
STOP BEIN' UPSET ABOUT EVERYTHING.
WHY DON'T PEOPLE DO MORE FOR THEMSELVES?
YOU WANT ME TO TELL YA WHY WHEN I SAID, "DO MORE FOR YOURSELF,"
I JUST GOT TOTAL SILENCE?
AS CHRISTIANS, I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF REASONS.
ONE, AS A CHRISTIAN YOU MIGHT HAVE AN UNBALANCED VIEW TOWARD
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT LIVING SACRIFICIALLY.
ROMANS 12:1 SAYS: "MAKE A DECISIVE DEDICATION OF YOUR
BODIES [PRESENTING ALL YOUR MEMBERS] AS A LIVING SACRIFICE."
BUT THEN JOHN 10:10 SAYS: "JESUS CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE
AND ENJOY OUR LIFE, AND HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE (TO THE FULL,
AND TILL IT OVERFLOWS]"
SO ONE SCRIPTURE TELLS ME TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING AND ANOTHER
SCRIPTURE TELLS ME TO ENJOY MY LIFE SO MUCH THAT IT'S
OVERFLOWING AND ABUNDANT.
BUT SEE, PAUL SAID, "WE NEED THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF
THE WORD OF GOD."
AND SO IF YOU HAVE NO BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE, IF YOU'RE OFF IN THE
DITCH ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, IN ANY PRINCIPLE OF GOD IT'S GONNA
END UP GETTING YA IN TROUBLE.
WE NEED BALANCE.
AND SO I CAN SACRIFICE WHAT I NEED TO SACRIFICE, BUT LET ME
TELL YA SOMETHIN'.
I MADE MY MIND UP 20 YEARS AGO.
I AM GOING TO ENJOY MY LIFE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING THAT MAKES THE DEVIL ANY MADDER THAN FOR YOU TO ENJOY
EVERY DAY THAT GOD GIVES YOU.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: AND I'M TRYIN' TO HELP YOU NOT TO HAVE ONE BAD DAY
AFTER ANOTHER, BAD DAY AFTER ANOTHER, BAD DAY TILL IT TURNS
INTO A BAD WEEK, AND THEN A BAD MONTH, AND THEN A BAD
YEAR, AND IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, A BAD LIFE.
AND THE WAY TO STOP IT IS TO STOP IT EARLY BEFORE IT
EVER GETS STARTED.
I'MMA CLOSE UP WITH SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT STEPPING OUT AND
NOT LIVING IN FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF YOU DECIDE TO GET OUT
OF THE BOAT AND HAVE A LITTLE ADVENTURE.
"WELL, I'MMA GO THE SAME WAY EVERY DAY WHEN I GO TO WORK.
I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF LOOKIN' AT THIS ROUTE I COULD SCREAM,
BUT I'M NOT GONNA GO A DIFFERENT WAY 'CAUSE I MIGHT GET LOST."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "BOY, I LIKE THOSE NEW STYLES EVERYBODY'S WEARIN',
BUT I'M NOT GONNA TRY THAT, FOR SURE."
THE ONLY THING I HAVEN'T BEEN TOO SUCCESSFUL AT, I'VE GOT
A PAIR, BUT I COULDN'T SEEM TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE IN 'EM, IS
THE JEANS WITH THE HOLES IN 'EM. I'M NOT--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I PUT A PAIR ON THE OTHER DAY AND I SAID,
"DAVE, HOW DO YOU LIKE THESE?" AND HE SAID,
"I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S YOU."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: [LAUGHING]
HE SAID, "I THINK MAYBE YOU'D BETTER GIVE THOSE AWAY."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: BUT I HAVE GOTTEN ADVENTUROUS.
YOU KNOW WHY I'M ADVENTUROUS NOW?
BECAUSE I HAVE WORSHIP TEAMS THAT ARE LIKE THAT.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: I'M MAKIN' A STATEMENT.
I'M FOR EVERYBODY.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: AMEN?
AND I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THAT.
YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU GOT HOLES IN YOUR JEANS OR NOT DOESN'T
AFFECT YOUR ANOINTING.
IT'S YOUR HEART THAT AFFECTS YOUR ANOINTING.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND WE GOTTA BE SO CAREFUL THAT WE DON'T GET STUCK
IN OUR AGE BRACKET.
C'MON, NOW, I'M TRYIN' TO HELP YA.
DON'T SIT AROUND AS SOME SOUR-FACED CHRISTIAN,
JUDGING EVERYBODY THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
BLESS GOD, MABEL, THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE DO IT."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: C'MON, LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: STOP JUDGIN' AND CRITICIZIN' OTHER PEOPLE 'CAUSE
THEY'RE NOT LIKE YOU.
YOU BE THE WAY THAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE AND LET OTHER PEOPLE
BE THE WAY THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING TO ME WHAT GOD DOES IN PEOPLE'S LIVES
IF THEY'LL JUST STEP OUT, TRY SOME THINGS.
WHEN I LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE, LORD,
HAVE MERCY.
IT SCARES ME EVEN REMEMBERIN' WHAT I'VE DONE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF YOU JUST WANNA HAVE A STATUS QUO,
HEAD FOR CANAAN, SETTLE IN HARAN, KINDA LIFE--YOU KNOW,
A LOT OF PEOPLE PARK AT THE POINT OF THEIR PAIN
AND NEVER GO BEYOND THEIR PAIN.
THEY ALWAYS JUST LIVE WITH THEIR PAIN.
TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN WE HAD OUR WOMEN'S CONFERENCE, I BROUGHT
A BIG "NO PARKING" SIGN UP ON THE PLATFORM.
GET YOUR LIFE OUT OF PARK.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: GET IT IN OVERDRIVE AND LET'S MAKE UP FOR SOME OF
THE--70% OF PEOPLE, THIS IS A FACT, 70% OF PEOPLE HATE
THEIR JOB.
WELL, GO GET ANOTHER ONE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OH, WELL, THEN YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO
COMPLAIN ABOUT.
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY, "I LOVE MY JOB."
CAN I TELL YA SOMETHIN'?
I LOVE WHAT I DO.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: I NEVER FEEL LIKE I'M GOIN' TO WORK.
I LOVE WHAT I DO.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST LIKE YOU GONNA
KEEP A JOB YOU HATE BECAUSE WELL, YOU LIKE THE MONEY
YOU MAKE.
THERE'S NO AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S WORTH BEIN' MISERABLE
ALL THE TIME.
THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WORTH BEIN' MISERABLE
ALL THE TIME, NONE.
AND THEY SAY MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR JOBS, HATE THEIR
JOBS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THEIR BOSS.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: WELL, HERE WE GO.
I GOT A WORD ABOUT THAT.
WELL, MAYBE YOU DO HAVE A LOUSY BOSS, BUT THEN
MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T LIKE ANYBODY TELLIN' YOU WHAT TO DO.
OH, DID I SAY THAT?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT.
THAT SLIPPED OUT.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: C'MON, YOU CAN BE A LOT HAPPIER THAN YOU ARE
IF YOU WANNA BE, C'MON.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU CAN JUST TWEAK YOUR ATTITUDE JUST A LITTLE BIT.
C'MON, LET'S JUST GET A LITTLE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT.
JOYCE: WELL, I JUST WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO STOP DREADING
OR FEELING MISERABLE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE.
INSTEAD, SHIFT YOUR FOCUS.
LET GOD USE YOUR PROBLEMS TO CHANGE YOU AND THEN YOU CAN
CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND YOU.
TODAY WE'RE OFFERING MY BOOK THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT,
