ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM
IS PAID FOR BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS
OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: HELLO AND WELCOME TO "ENJOYING EVERYDAY LIFE."
I'M EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY A RECENT CONFERENCE WHERE
BETH MOORE, CHRISTINE CAINE, AND MYSELF HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER SOME PERSONAL QUESTIONS
ON HOW GOD CAN HEAL OUR WOUNDED SOULS.
BE ENCOURAGED AS YOU WATCH THIS TODAY.
GINGER: ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL TELL YA, WE ARE VERY BLESSED
TO HAVE THESE LOVELY THREE WOMEN TOGETHER WITH US
IN THE SAME ROOM.
LOVELY AND CRAZY AND TALENTED AND BLESSED.
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE WELCOME JOYCE, BETH, AND CHRISTINE.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
HEY, I'M LIKING THIS BECAUSE IF I DON'T WANNA ANSWER ANYTHING I
CAN JUST TELL ONE OF THEM TO.
GINGER: ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP HERE.
GINGER: THERE'S YOUR CAMERA IF YOU WANNA LOOK AT THEM,
OR YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM, WHATEVER YOU LIKE.
TELL US YOUR NAME.
CHINA: CHINA.
GINGER: AND, CHINA, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?
CHINA: SO, HELLO LADIES.
JOYCE: HELLO.
CHINA: WHEN YOU ARE--HAVE BEEN BLESSED FOR YOUR PURPOSE
AND YOUR DESTINY TO HAVE BEEN REVEALED TO YOU AND, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR PATH, THE DEVIL PULLS ANYTHING
AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S LIKE ABRAHAM AND THE HEDGE, HE'S GONNA ATTACK EVERYTHING.
WHEN YOU FEEL THAT EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND EVERYTHING THAT'S CLOSE
TO YOU IS BEING PULLED AWAY FROM YOU, HOW DO YOU KEEP
YOURSELF ENCOURAGED?
HOW DO YOU REMAIN FOCUSED?
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED IN YOUR JOURNEYS
THAT'LL JUST HELP MYSELF
AND I'M SURE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE
IN THIS ARENA STAY THE COURSE?
JOYCE: YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SCRIPTURE IN ISAIAH, I THINK
IT'S 2:22, THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW GOD WILL REMOVE THE PROPS OUT
FROM UNDER US.
AND WE HAD A LITTLE TWIG
OF A TREE IN OUR YARD ONE TIME AND IT WAS STARTING TO GROW
CROOKED WHICH, TO ME, THAT REPRESENTS, LIKE,
A BABY CHRISTIAN, YOU KNOW.
AND SO, WE HAD TO PUT--WE PUT STICKS AROUND IT, PROPPING IT UP
TO KEEP IT GROWING STRAIGHT.
AND I THINK WHEN WE'RE BABIES IN CHRIST, AND ESPECIALLY BABIES
AND CHASING OUR DREAM, THAT A LOT OF TIMES GOD
WILL GIVE US PROPS.
HE'LL GIVE US PEOPLE AROUND US THAT KIND OF KEEP US PROPPED UP
AND THEY KEEP US ENCOURAGED AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE ALWAYS
GOT THE RIGHT WORD FOR US AND THEY ALWAYS KNOW
THE RIGHT SCRIPTURE.
BUT EVENTUALLY, HE WANTS US TO BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED
IN HIM.
SO, I FOUND IN MY LIFE THAT THE TIME CAME WHEN GOD
REMOVED ALL THOSE PROPS AND I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO STAND STRONG
IN HIM.
AND SO, SOMETIMES, WHAT WE THINK IS THE ENEMY MESSING WITH US,
WHICH HE CERTAINLY CAN DO AND DOES, SOMETIMES IT
JUST TAKES A LITTLE DEEPER TRUST TO SAY, "WELL, GOD,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE, BUT I BELIEVE
IT'S GONNA TURN OUT GOOD."
YOU SEE, I THINK THAT THE SAFEST PERSON
IN THE WORLD IS THE ONE WHO COMES TO THE POINT WHERE
THEY KNOW THAT WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO, THEY CAN DO IT
WITH AND IN CHRIST.
EVEN IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, THEY CAN DO IT WITH AND IN HIM.
SO, WHAT DO YOU GIRLS WANNA ADD?
BETH: YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING--I AGREE
WITH THAT COMPLETELY.
AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE WORDS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL
AT THE VERY END OF HIS LIFE
IN HIS LAST LETTER WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO TIMOTHY,
SAYING, "AT MY FIRST DEFENSE, NO ONE APPEARED IN MY SUPPORT.
MAY THEY NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT.
BUT THE LORD STOOD BY ME AND STRENGTHENED ME,
SO THAT THROUGH ME..."
DOT, DOT, DOT, AND I'VE THOUGHT SO MANY TIMES, JOYCE AND CHRIS,
THAT SO OFTEN GOD BRINGS US TO A PLACE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM WHERE IT HAS GOT TO BE SO INTENSELY THE TWO OF US,
WE'RE STILL LOVED, WE STILL HAVE COMMUNITY, BUT TO GET
TO THE OTHER SIDE, PERHAPS WHAT WE ARE MOST CALLED TO DO
IN OUR ENTIRE JOURNEYS WITH GOD, MAN, WE HAVE GOT TO BE
WHERE WE CAN BE STRENGTHENED BY JESUS ALONE.
'CAUSE IT'S COMING OUT OF THAT INTIMACY.
AND ALL OF US ARE GONNA TEND TO REALLY PREFER THAT JESUS
LOVES ON US AND SPEAKS TO US THROUGH SOMEONE WE CAN TOUCH
AND SEE BUT, MAN, HE'S WEANING US CONTINUALLY
SO THAT WE WILL BE STRENGTHENED BY HIM AND THAT INTIMACY,
THAT BOND, WILL BE MADE.
JOYCE: AMEN.
FEMALE: HI, JOYCE. HI, BETH.
HI, CHRISTINE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOYCE, FOR WRITING THE BOOK,
"BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND."
IT HELPED ME SO MUCH.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
FEMALE: MY QUESTION IS, AS I READ BOOKS BY YOU, JOYCE,
AND YOU OTHER LADIES, I REALIZE THAT I GOT A LOT OF WORK.
AS A LEADER, HOW MUCH SHOULD I--SHOULD MY SOUL MATURE
BEFORE I ANSWER THE CALL?
JOYCE: WELL, LORD, HAVE MERCY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHEN I STARTED TEACHING, I WAS BLOWING SMOKE
IN EVERYBODY'S FACE AND SITTING IN SHORT SHORTS.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
BETH: WHOO!
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, HONESTLY, I WAS SITTING--I WOULD SIT
IN MY LIVING ROOM WITH SHORTS AS SHORT AS I COULD GET 'EM
AND JUST PUFFING AWAY WHILE I WAS TEACHING THE BIBLE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: AND ALL I CAN SAY, HONEY, IS GOD NOT ONLY KNOWS
WHERE YOU'RE AT, HE KNOWS WHERE YOU WILL BE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT ANYBODY BE A BAD EXAMPLE.
I DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED A LOT OF WOUNDED HEALERS
OUT THERE, RUNNING AROUND.
BUT GOD CERTAINLY DIDN'T LOOSE ME ON THE WORLD.
HE LET ME TEACH 20 PEOPLE FOR 5 YEARS AND I GOT
TO PRACTICE ON THEM.
SO I WOULD SAY, ASK GOD TO OPEN A DOOR THAT YOU WOULD BE MATURE
ENOUGH TO WALK THROUGH NOW AND START GETTING
SOME EXPERIENCE.
AND THEN EACH THING THAT GOD DEALS WITH YOU ABOUT,
WHICH THERE'LL BE MANY-- HE STILL DEALS WITH ALL OF US
EVERY DAY.
EACH THING THAT GOD DEALS WITH YOU ABOUT, YOU WALK
THROUGH THAT WITH HIM, YOU WORK THROUGH THAT WITH HIM,
AND THEN YOU LET HIM PROMOTE YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL
WHEN HE KNOWS THE TIME IS RIGHT.
I'LL TELL YOU HOW I PRAY.
I DON'T PRAY LIKE I USED TO.
I USED TO PRAY, "GOD, GIVE ME THIS, GIVE ME THAT,
GIVE ME THIS, GIVE ME THAT, MAKE MY MINISTRY GROW.
GOD, MAKE MY MINISTRY GROW."
NOW, I PRAY, "GOD, PLEASE DON'T EVER GIVE ME ANYTHING
THAT I CANNOT HANDLE AND KEEP YOU FIRST IN MY LIFE."
CHRIS: THANK YOU, LORD.
JOYCE: SO IF YOU PRAY THAT, YOU WON'T GET IN TROUBLE.
BETH: THAT'S GOOD.
GINGER: ALL RIGHT, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU.
HONEY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
BAILEY: BAILEY.
GINGER: HOW OLD ARE YOU, BAILEY?
BAILEY: TEN.
GINGER: YOU ARE A BRAVE 10-YEAR-OLD.
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?
BAILEY: HOW DO YOU GET OVER LOSING A SPECIAL PERSON,
LIKE, A FAMILY MEMBER?
BETH: BAILEY, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION.
AND I'M SO SORRY 'CAUSE THERE'S SOME REASON WHY YOU ASK
THAT QUESTION, THAT IS VERY, VERY TENDER IN MY HEART
AND I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU EVEN HAD TO ASK IT.
BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU THAT GOD IS SO FAITHFUL AND WHAT I
DO KNOW IS THAT OUR TEARS AND OUR GRIEF, OUR SORROW,
IS SAFE WITH HIM.
THAT WE DO GET TO WORK THROUGH AND CRY AND MOURN WHEN WE LOSE
SOMEONE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS.
THERE'S THIS WONDERFUL SCENE IN JOHN CHAPTER 11 WHEN HE'S
WATCHING HIS GOOD FRIENDS, MARY AND MARTHA, SO GRIEF-STRICKEN
OVER THEIR BROTHER LAZARUS AND HE KNOWS HE'S GONNA RAISE
HIM FROM THE DEAD BUT HE'S STILL JUST HEARTBROKEN
WATCHING THE WAGES OF DEATH, WATCHING THE PAIN
THAT IT CAUSES.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS THAT THE VERY LAST ENEMY
THAT JESUS IS GOING TO FIGHT, THE VERY LAST THING THAT HE
WILL DEFEAT, IS DEATH.
I MEAN, HE HATES DEATH MORE THAN HE HATES THE DEVIL.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU?
DEATH.
SO HE GETS IT IN EVERY WAY.
HE KNOWS THAT LOSS.
THE FATHER GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON.
SEE, YOU TAKE TIME WITH IT AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT IT TOO.
AND YOU ALSO FEEL LIKE YOU CAN FIND SOME PEOPLE THAT YOU
CAN TALK TO, FACE TO FACE.
TALK IT OUT.
WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS US IN 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4
IS THAT WE'RE JUST NOT TO GRIEVE AS A HOPELESS PERSON GRIEVES.
THAT IF WE--IF THEY ARE IN CHRIST, WE KNOW
THAT WE'RE GONNA SEE 'EM AGAIN AND IT'LL JUST BE
A VERY, VERY LITTLE WHILE
IN THE WHOLE SCOPE OF ETERNITY.
SO TALK IT OUT AND GRIEVE AND ALSO DON'T FEEL GUILTY
WHEN YOU ALSO FEEL LIKE LAUGHING ABOUT SOMETHING.
THAT'S A MERCY IN A GRIEF.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
GINGER: COME OUT ON UP HERE.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WENDY: MY NAME IS WENDY.
GINGER: WENDY, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?
WENDY: I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING Y'ALL FOR A LONG TIME
AND, WITHOUT Y'ALL, I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN STAYED
ON THIS JOURNEY, WITH YOUR TEACHING.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE HEALED
FROM, YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT GRIEF.
I HAD A JOURNEY FOR THE LAST PAST 7 YEARS
OF EVERYBODY CLOSE TO ME IN MY LIFE DIED.
BUT I KNOW THAT I GRIEVE WITHOUT--I DON'T GRIEVE
WITHOUT HOPE BECAUSE THEY WERE SAVED.
BUT AT CERTAIN TIMES, LIKE THE ANNIVERSARY DEATH,
MY DAUGHTER, MY HUSBAND, MY MOM, MY GRANDMA, AND THERE ARE DAYS
THAT I FEEL ALONE, BUT I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE.
JOYCE: SOMETHING THAT I'VE LEARNED IN MY LIFE
THAT MAYBE WILL HELP YOU, AND YOU KNOW, YOU SAID YOU
KNOW AND THEN YOU SAID, "BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL."
AND WE ALL GO THROUGH THAT.
BUT I THINK THAT WHAT WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW
IS SO MUCH MORE VALUABLE
THAN WHAT WE FEEL, YOU KNOW?
WE ALL GO THROUGH THESE TIMES WHERE WE WANNA FEEL
GOD'S PRESENCE OR WHEN WE PRAY WE'RE, LIKE, WELL, IT'S
SUCH A GOOD PRAYER DAY IF YOU FEEL JESUS
ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOU FEEL LIKE HE HEARS YOU, BUT THEN
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU DON'T FEEL
HIS PRESENCE?
AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME,
I GUESS WHEN YOUR FAITH GETS DEEP ENOUGH, BUT I CAME
TO A POINT WHERE I DON'T EVEN REALLY TRY TO SIT
AROUND AND PONDER, "DO I FEEL GOD'S PRESENCE?"
BECAUSE NOW I KNOW THAT HE'S WITH ME ALL THE TIME.
AND SO, YOU SEE, EVEN ON THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU
FEEL LONELY, AS LONG AS YOU KNOW, THEN THAT KNOWING IS GONNA
GET YOU BEYOND THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU FEEL THAT WAY, AMEN?
YOU'VE GOT WHAT YOU NEED.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
GINGER: WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND YOUR QUESTION?
ANGELA: ANGELA, AND I'M AN OVERCOMER
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY.
LET'S JUST START RIGHT THERE.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I GOT SAVED AS A LITTLE KID.
I'VE HAD A LIFE ABOUT LIKE YOURS AND CHRISTINE'S
AND GOT--ACCEPTED THE LORD AGAIN IN 2003 AFTER A VERY LONG LIFE
OF DRUG ADDICTION AND ABUSE ON INTO MY ADULTHOOD.
THE LAST 2 YEARS, I'VE HAD A LOT OF HEALTH ISSUES
AND KIND OF GOT INTO MYSELF BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH ISSUES.
AND THINGS STARTED COMING UP THAT I THOUGHT GOD
HAD HEALED ME FROM.
THEY STARTED--THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT MY HUSBAND OR MY KIDS
OR SOME--IT WOULD JUST TRIGGER SOME CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
AND THEY JUST STARTED COMING OUT AND IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS
A--THERE'S A ROOT IN THERE.
THERE'S A BIG ROOT IN THERE AND IT'S STILL IN THERE,
ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT IT WAS GONE.
AND WHAT I'VE DONE LATELY IS I'VE GOTTEN OUTSIDE OF MYSELF,
WHICH IS WHAT JOYCE WOULD DEFINITELY SAY IN HER 1000 HOURS
OF TEACHING TAPES THAT I'VE STARTED MINISTERING IN.
SO I AM FEELING BETTER, BUT I AM ON SOME ANXIETY
AND PANIC MEDICATION.
I DON'T LIKE IT. I DON'T LIKE IT.
I THINK IT STIFLES THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ME.
GINGER: SO, IS YOUR QUESTION HOW TO HELP DIG OUT THAT ROOT?
ANGELA: YES, MA'AM.
YES, MA'AM, THAT'D BE IT.
JOYCE: ONE OF YOU GIRLS WANNA TAKE IT OR--
BETH: WELL, I WANNA SAY THIS FOR MYSELF AND I'LL LET
MY SISTERS SPEAK TO IT TOO IF THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER,
BUT I WOULD NOT EVEN BEGIN TO TOUCH THE MATTER
OF MEDICATION BECAUSE THAT IS WAY OUTSIDE MY LEAGUE.
AND SO I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO A GOOD PHYSICIAN
AND TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO TALKING ABOUT THAT ROOT.
I THINK THAT IT'S NOT A TERRIBLE THING TO REALIZE
THAT SOMETIMES GOD DOES DO THINGS IN SEASONS
AND, IN PART, THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE READY IN THAT SEASON TO GO
ALL THE WAY DOWN AND UNDER.
BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU THIS.
I LOVE TO PRAY MATTHEW 15:13, MATTHEW 15:13, AND IT'S WHERE
JESUS SAYS, "EVERY PLANT THAT MY HEAVENLY FATHER HAS NOT
PLANTED WILL BE ROOTED UP."
AND I LOVE TO PRAY THAT OVER MY LIFE
AND OVER MY CHILDREN AND OVER MY LOVED ONES
THAT, LORD, WHATEVER HAS GOTTEN PLANTED IN US
THAT WAS NOT PLANTED IN US BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
YOU PULL IT UP BY THE ROOTS.
YOU PULL IT UP 'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT.
WE DON'T WANT IT.
SO IF THAT HELPS, I LOVE PRAYING SCRIPTURE, AND THAT'S MY VERSE.
THAT'S MY TURN-TO VERSE FOR THAT CONCEPT.
JOYCE: CHRIS?
CHRIS: I THINK THAT'S CORRECT.
JOYCE: THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY ABOUT THE MEDICATION.
WHERE'D SHE GO?
DON'T EVER FEEL GUILTY OR BAD OR LESS THAN BECAUSE YOU'RE
NEEDING TO TAKE MEDICATION.
BETH: AGREE WITH THAT.
JOYCE: SOMETIMES--
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE
SEEM TO THINK THAT TAKING SOMETHING FOR YOUR NERVES IS
A LOT DIFFERENT THAN TAKING SOMETHING FOR YOUR ARM
IF IT HURTS.
I MEAN, YOUR NERVES ARE A PART OF YOU JUST LIKE YOUR ARMS
AND YOUR LEGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE
AND SOMETIMES THEY GET DAMAGED THROUGH A LOT OF OVER-ACTIVITY.
AND JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A SEASON OF YOUR LIFE
WHERE YOU'RE NEEDING THAT RIGHT NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU WILL NEED THAT FOREVER.
BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DON'T FEEL BAD AND FEEL
GUILTY ABOUT IT.
AND TRUST GOD THAT IF ISSUES ARE COMING UP AGAIN, THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE THAT GOD IS GOING
TO DO THERE THAT'S GONNA WORK OUT GOOD, AND THE MAIN THING I
WOULD TELL YOU IS DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD.
THERE'S NO TIME THAT WE ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO THE ENEMY
THAN WHEN WE'VE BEEN SICK.
THERE'S NO TIME--THERE'S NO QUICKER WAY FOR ME TO NOT WALK
IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT THAN TO FEEL REALLY BAD OR BE
SO STINKING TIRED I CAN HARDLY THINK.
AND SO, IF YOU TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO ACCOUNT
THAT YOU'VE NOT BEEN HAVING GOOD HEALTH AND YOU'VE BEEN
DEALING WITH THAT, YOU'RE PROBABLY DOING
A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE, SO YOU JUST KEEP
ON KEEPING ON AND YOU'LL BE BACK THE WHOLE FULL TILT
PRETTY SOON.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
GINGER: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND YOUR QUESTION?
DAWN: HI, I'M DAWN.
AND BASICALLY, I FEEL LIKE I WAS BORN WITH NO SELF-CONFIDENCE.
AND I AM READY TO HAVE SOME AND I WAS WANTING SOME ADVICE
ON HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU GET IT?
JOYCE: CHRIS?
GINGER: GOOD QUESTION.
CHRIS: YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY--THAT'S PROBABLY
MOST PEOPLE'S STORIES 'CAUSE IF--EVEN IF THEY FEEL
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN BORN WITH IT, MOST OF HAD IT KNOCKED OUT
OF THEM BY THE TIME THEY GET TO KINDERGARTEN
SO THAT WOULD BE THE-- IT NORMALLY HAPPENS LIKE THAT.
AND I WOULD SAY, FOR ANY OF US THAT WOULD BE THE JOURNEY
THAT WE'RE ON.
NUMBER ONE, YOU'RE STARTING REALLY WELL.
YOU'VE POSITIONED YOURSELF IN A PLACE WHERE GOD CAN SPEAK
TO YOU.
SO THAT'S VERY, VERY POWERFUL.
I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN CONFERENCES LIKE THIS
FOR THAT WHOLE REASON.
AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I AM A BIG BELIEVER IN RESOURCES LIKE
BOOKS AND BIBLE STUDIES BECAUSE THE MORE WORDS YOU CAN--THE ONLY
WAY YOU CAN GET TRANSFORMED IS BY BEING TRANSFORMED.
THE ONLY WAY YOU GET TRANSFORMED IS BY GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.
MOST PEOPLE WANNA BE ZAPPED, HEALED, AND WHOLE, BUT IT TAKES
A PROCESS.
FOR ALL OF US, NONE OF US JUST WENT OUT ON ONE ALTAR CALL,
SOMEONE SPAT ON US, WE GOT BACK UP AND WENT,
"WHOO, I'M HEALED AND CONFIDENT.
PRAISE BE UNTO THE LORD," YOU KNOW?
PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THAT'S THE CASE.
BUT IT IS, AND I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME, ONGOING.
I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND EVERY SINGLE DAY WHAT WE
TEACH YOU WE HAVE TO LIVE BECAUSE WE ARE ALL
ONLY EVER ONE THOUGHT AWAY FROM BEGINNING TO UNRAVEL
AND GO BACK.
AND SO, BEING IN THE WORD, GETTING THE SCRIPTURE,
CHOOSING TO CUT OFF SOME THINGS THAT KNOCK YOUR CONFIDENCE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO START TO DO.
SO REPLACE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH GOD'S THOUGHTS.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA JUMP IN TOO MUCH.
JUST STICK AROUND 'TIL THE END OF THE CONFERENCE.
BY THE END OF TOMORROW'S SESSION,
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TEN WAYS ON HOW YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
THE NEXT STEPS, SERIOUSLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU ONE PIECE OF ADVICE.
DON'T EVER SAY AGAIN, "I DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE, AND I
WANNA KNOW HOW I CAN GET SOME."
IF CHRIST IS LIVING IN YOU, YOU'VE GOT ALL THE CONFIDENCE
THAT YOU NEED AND YOU NEED TO START BY BELIEVING THAT.
AND THE MORE YOU BELIEVE IT, THE MORE IT'S GONNA MANIFEST
IN YOUR LIFE.
IN GOD'S ECONOMY, WE BELIEVE AND THEN WE SEE.
WE DON'T WAIT TO SEE BEFORE WE BELIEVE.
SO YOU START SAYING, EVEN BEFORE YOU FEEL IT,
YOU START SAYING, "I AM A CONFIDENT WOMAN.
JESUS LIVES IN ME.
AND I CAN DO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO THROUGH CHRIST."
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
JOYCE: WELL, NOW, REMEMBER.
IF CHRIST IS LIVING IN YOU, THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE CONFIDENCE
YOU NEED.
SO SAY OUT LOUD, "I CAN DO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO
THROUGH CHRIST."
YOU KNOW, I PRAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A TIME
OF REAL ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOU.
BUT WE'RE OFFERING YOU MORE WORD.
I AM VERY BIG ON THE WORD BECAUSE THE WORD
IS WHAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER TO INVEST YOUR MONEY IN THAN TEACHING
ABOUT GOD'S WORD.
GOOD BOOKS, CDS, DVDS, ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA KEEP FEEDING YOU
THE WORD OF GOD.
SO TODAY, WE'RE OFFERING YOU EIGHT TEACHINGS ON CD CALLED,
"THE PATH TO GOD'S PURPOSE."

JACQUES: ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, WE WERE INVOLVED
WITH ONE UP--STARTING UP IN ZAMBIA AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE
WERE KIND OF SCOPING OUT THE LAND AND I REMEMBER DRIVING
ON THIS GRAVEL ROAD AND IT TOOK US FOREVER TO GET THERE,
THE POTHOLES IN THE ROAD AND IT WAS DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
AND IT WAS FAR AWAY FROM US.
AND I REMEMBER SPEAKING TO THE LORD AND SAYING
TO THE LORD, "I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS BECAUSE IT'S
JUST TOO HARD, IT'S TOO FAR."
LITTLE DID I KNOW AT THE TIME, ACTUALLY THAT THE WESTERN PART
OF ZAMBIA STILL HAS UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN THEM.
AND THE INCREDIBLE DISPARITY THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE
IN THAT PROVINCE.
MALE: EVEN THOUGH ZAMBIA'S CLAIMED TO BE
A CHRISTIAN NATION, WE STILL HAVE BELIEFS
LIKE WITCHCRAFT AND OTHER BELIEFS AS WELL
IN THE AREA.
MALE: PREVIOUSLY, THE WAY WE WERE LIVING, WE ARE
VERY FAR BEHIND WITH GOD'S WORD.
PEOPLE WERE FOND OF DRINKING AND WHATEVER.
MALE: MOST OF THEM, THEY STARTED DRINKING BEER,
STARTING FROM THE AGE OF 10.
MALE: THE RIVER IS SORT OF LIKE A LIFELINE
IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS NO JOBS, THERE IS
REALLY MUCH POVERTIES.
PEOPLE GO INTO THE RIVER AND TO DO FISHING.
THE LADIES GO THERE TO WASH THEIR CLOTHES AND ALSO THEY'RE
GETTING DRINKING WATER.
JACQUES: FIRST SIGHT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PLACE,
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE RIVER,
ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN AFRICA, THE ZAMBEZI.
IT'S FILLED WITH CROCODILES AND HIPPOS AND WILDLIFE,
BUT LITTLE DO YOU REALIZE WHAT IMPACT THAT ACTUALLY HAS
ON THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
THE CHILDREN WOULD BE SENT TO THE RIVER OFTENTIMES TO GET
WATER AND, JUST THIS YEAR, WITHIN THE FIRST 5, 6 MONTHS
OF THE YEAR, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN 31 PEOPLE IN OUR AREA
THAT ACTUALLY DIED BECAUSE OF CROCODILE ATTACKS.
SO IT'S A VERY, VERY DESPERATE PLACE AND THEN, AS SOON AS YOU
GO AWAY FROM THE RIVER, PEOPLE DIG THESE HUGE PITS WHERE THEY
TRY AND GET WATER FROM AND IT'S JUST DIRTY WATER THERE.
WE STARTED OFF WITH THE CHILDREN'S CHURCHES
AND OUR INTENT WAS TO START WORKING WITH THE CHILDREN
IN THE AREA WHERE WE COULD START CHANGING THE CULTURE THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN THAT COMMUNITY.
IT'S SO RURAL AND IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO ACCESS,
SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE RECEIVED A DONATION
OF A PONTOON BOAT AND WE MOVED THIS PONTOON BOAT INTO THE RIVER
AND WE'RE ACTUALLY USING THAT TO LAUNCH
THE CHILDREN'S CHURCHES FROM THE BANKS OF THE RIVER.
SO WE WOULD HAVE MUSIC PLAYING.
THE BOAT WILL BE LAUNCHED ONTO THE SANDY BEACHES
AND THE KIDS WOULD COME OUT FROM THE COMMUNITY,
OFTENTIMES THEY'LL ALREADY BE THERE.
WE'RE STARTING TO TEACH THE BASICS SO THAT WE CAN BRING
THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIST INTO THE LIVES
OF THESE CHILDREN BECAUSE WE'RE RAISING A GENERATION
THAT'S GONNA THINK DIFFERENT THAN THE GENERATION WE FOUND
THERE WHEN WE STARTED THE WORK.
MALE: BEFORE WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM
FOR THE KIDS' CHURCH, WE FOUND IT QUITE A BIT DIFFICULT.
MOST OF THEM, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO GOD WAS, WHO JESUS WAS.
THROUGH THIS EVANGELISM STORY, THEY HAVE KNOWN WHO GOD IS.
THEIR BEHAVIOR HAS TOTALLY CHANGED.
JACQUES: THE CHILDREN DON'T HAVE BASIC THINGS
LIKE SOAP AND TOOTHPASTE AND THINGS THAT THEY
CAN JUST TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN HYGIENE.
UNDERWEAR AND NOT EVEN--DON'T EVEN SPEAK ABOUT SOCKS
OR SHOES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
JUST THE BASICS.
SO WE ACTUALLY BUILT A LITTLE SHOP THAT WE TAKE
WITH US WHEN WE DO OUR CHILDREN'S CHURCH PROGRAMS.
AND THE CHILDREN GET LITTLE COINS.
WE GIVE THEM A COIN WHEN THEY COME TO CHILDREN'S CHURCH, WHEN
THEY KNOW LAST WEEK'S LESSON, WHEN THEY'VE BROUGHT A FRIEND,
THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND IT HELPS THEM TO EARN THESE LITTLE CHILDREN'S CHURCH
MONEY.
IT'S NOT REAL MONEY.
BUT IT HELPS THEM TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOME KIND OF A VALUE
ON THINGS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT AND AS WE FEEL
IS IMPORTANT WITH REGARDS TO SCRIPTURE.
AND THEN THE CHILDREN CAN GO AND THEY CAN BUY SOAP
AND DIFFERENT THINGS FROM THERE.
PROBABLY THE ONE THING THAT WE'VE SOLD THE MOST
HAS BEEN SOAP, JUST BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BASIC THING THAT THEY
DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IN THE AREA.
AND THEN AFTER WE DID THAT FOR A WHILE, WE REALIZED
THAT THE NEED FOR WATER HERE IS HUGE
AND, AS THE BODY OF CHRIST, WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED
IN THAT NEED BECAUSE OF SAFETY, BUT ALSO HYGIENE
AND EVERYTHING AROUND THAT.
AND WE'VE ALREADY SEEN A BUNCH OF HOLES DUG
AND PUMPS PUT IN AND LIVES BEING CHANGED WITH THAT
AND WE'RE ABLE TO NOW START LOOKING
AT THE MEDICAL SIDE OF IT.
MALE: OUR CHILDREN ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
OUR CHILDREN ARE SINGING SONGS FOR, NO, PRAISING
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
MALE: WE ARE SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS,
NOT ONLY TO THE CHILD, BUT AS WELL TO THE PARENTS.
JACQUES: SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE RUNNING CHILDREN'S CHURCHES
AND WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE VERY RURAL AREAS
THAT DOES NOT HAVE CHURCHES, AND SEE CHURCHES PLANTED.
AND WITH EVERY CHURCH, WE'LL ALSO PLANT A CHILDREN'S CHURCH,
WE PUT IN A WELL, AND WE WILL START SEEING AFRICA CHANGE.
MALE: THE WORD OF GOD IS OPERATING IN THIS AREA
VERY STRONGLY.
