ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MORE POWER AND MORE AUTHORITY
THAN THE ENEMY DOES.
NO MATTER HOW BIG THE GIANTS ARE IN YOUR LIFE, "GREATER IS HE
THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD."
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: I STARTED LAST NIGHT TALKING TO YOU ABOUT
"DEFEATING GIANTS."
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A GIANT CHASING YOU AROUND RIGHT NOW?
NOW, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF GIANTS.
THERE'S LITTLE GIANTS, MEDIUM-SIZED GIANTS.
THERE'S BIG GIANTS, REALLY BIG GIANTS, AND THEN THERE'S SOME OF
THOSE GIANTS THAT YOU FEEL LIKE HAS JUST TAKEN UP RESIDENCE
IN YOUR LIFE.
THEY'VE GOTTEN THEMSELVES A ROOM, DECORATED IT.
THEY'RE QUITE COMFORTABLE AND THEY'RE KINDA LETTING YOU
KNOW THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF LEAVING.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FIND WHEN I'M GOING THROUGH
SOMETHING, AND YOU CAN LET ME KNOW IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY,
I FIND THAT ONE OF THE LIES THE DEVIL JUST KEEPS POUNDING
AT ME IS, "THIS IS NEVER GONNA GO AWAY."
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MENTALLY WE THINK WE CAN HANDLE SOMETHING
IF IT'S GONNA BE A WEEK, OR TWO WEEKS,
OR MAYBE EVEN A MONTH.
BUT WHEN YOU GET TO SOMETHING THAT JUST HANGS ON, AND HANGS
ON, AND HANGS ON, AND HANGS ON, AND ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SOMETHING
HURTING YOU, I THINK ONE OF THE FEARS THAT THE ENEMY
TRIES TO GET US WITH IS, "WHAT IF THIS NEVER GOES AWAY?"
ANYBODY EVER HEAR THAT?
"WHAT IF THIS LASTS FOREVER?" BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, THEY
ALWAYS COME TO AN END.
THERE MAY BE SOMETHING ELSE RIGHT ON ITS HEELS,
BUT IT COMES TO AN END.
AND LAST YEAR, I HAD A PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING YEAR
BECAUSE I HAD TWO SURGERIES WITHIN SEVEN MONTHS.
I HAD A HIP REPLACED, AND THEN AS SOON AS I GOT THAT OVER WITH,
I STARTED HAVING A PAIN HERE IN MY LEG, AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS
THE HIP THAT WAS STILL GIVING PROBLEMS.
TURNS OUT IT WAS SOMETHING IN MY BACK, WHICH I THINK REALLY WAS
THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO
HAVE THE HIP REPLACED.
BUT THE POINT IS IS THAT FOR ABOUT TEN MONTHS, I HAD QUITE
A BIT OF PAIN.
AND I KEPT DOING EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO WHAT I'M DOING, YOU DON'T JUST NOT
SHOW UP.
YOU DON'T JUST SAY, "SORRY, I CAN'T COME."
YOU PRESS THROUGH AND YOU DO IT.
AND SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY HAD TO STAND AGAINST WAS
THAT LIE, "WHAT IF YOU'RE LIKE THIS FOREVER?"
AND I KEPT SAYING, "I DECLARE."
LIKE JOEL'S BOOK, "I DECLARE."
I KEPT SAYING, "THIS IS GONNA COME TO AN END.
THIS IS GONNA TURN OUT ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS GONNA COME TO AN END."
AND I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE SAME THING IN YOUR LIFE.
MY OLDEST SON WAS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FOR ME TO RAISE.
ANYBODY GOT A KID THAT YOU LOVE BUT YOU DON'T LIKE?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: COME ON, LET'S BE HONEST, YOU KNOW?
WE DO, WE LOVE OUR KIDS, BUT THE TRUTH IS SOMETIMES WE DON'T
ALWAYS LIKE 'EM ALL.
AND THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS BOY WAS HE PROBABLY, OUT OF
ALL OF 'EM, IS THE MOST LIKE ME.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: AND SO, A LOT OF TIMES, WE DON'T LIKE 'EM BECAUSE
WE SEE OURSELVES IN 'EM AND WE DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.
AND I MEAN, I THOUGHT THAT BOY WAS GONNA DRIVE ME CRAZY.
I COULDN'T HARDLY WAIT FOR HIM TO LEAVE HOME.
WHEN HE GRADUATED AND SAID HE WAS GONNA GO AWAY TO
BIBLE COLLEGE, I WAS LIKE, "YES!
GO."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: WE HAD--THEN HE CAME TO WORK FOR US AND I THOUGHT
THAT WAS GONNA DRIVE ME NUTS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOW, HE'S THE CEO OF ALL OF OUR WORLD MISSIONS AND--
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: HAS DONE--YOU KNOW, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WATER
WELLS THIS MORNING AND WE JUST DUG OUR 1,000TH WATER WELL
AROUND THE WORLD.
AND HE'S BEEN PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN ALL OF THAT.
SO, I'M JUST TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU THAT WHATEVER KIND OF GIANT
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES, COME ON.
YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT THROUGH, TO COME OUT
VICTORIOUS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
SO, I WANNA START THIS MORNING--ACTUALLY, I STARTED
WITH THIS LAST NIGHT BUT I WANNA DO IT AGAIN TODAY.
I WANNA GO TO WHEN DAVID FOUGHT GOLIATH AND I WANNA SHOW YOU
THE ATTITUDE THAT HE HAD.
SO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT 1 SAMUEL 17:42-48.
"WHEN THE PHILISTINE," THE GIANT,
"LOOKED AROUND AND SAW DAVID, HE DERIDED AND DISPARAGED
HIM BECAUSE HE WAS [JUST]
A YOUNG MAN, WITH A RUDDY COMPLEXION."
I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT IS, 'CAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT
MEANS.
BUT, "AND HE WAS A HANDSOME GUY.
AND THE GIANT, "THE PHILISTINE SAID TO DAVID, 'AM I A DOG, THAT
YOU COME TO ME WITH A [SHEPHERD'S] STAFF?'
AND THE PHILISTINE CURSED DAVID BY HIS GODS,"
WHICH OF COURSE WAS USELESS BECAUSE HIS GODS WERE NOTHING.
THE GIANT WAS TALKING TO DAVID, BUT DAVID DIDN'T JUST STAND
THERE AND TAKE IT.
"THEN DAVID SAID TO THE PHILISTINE."
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO TALK BACK TO THE DEVIL.
JESUS TALKED BACK TO THE DEVIL.
AND ACTUALLY, THE TITLE OF THIS MESSAGE, THIS WHOLE MESSAGE THAT
I'M NOT PREACHING THIS MORNING IS, "YOU CAN'T DEFEAT GOLIATH
WITH YOUR MOUTH SHUT."
YOU KNOW, WE GOTTA OPEN OUR MOUTH AND TALK BACK
TO THE DEVIL.
SO, "DAVID SAID TO THE PHILISTINE,
'YOU COME TO ME WITH A SWORD, A SPEAR, AND A JAVELIN,
BUT I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF
THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL, WHOM YOU HAVE TAUNTED."
SO, HE WAS REALLY GETTING THE POINT ACROSS TO HIM THAT, "YOU
THINK YOU'RE COMING AGAINST ME.
YOU THINK YOU'RE COMING AGAINST THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL.
BUT IN FACT, YOU'RE COMING AGAINST GOD."
AND IT'S THE SAME WAY IN YOUR LIFE.
YOUR GOD'S CHILD.
WHEN THE ENEMY COMES AGAINST YOU, HE'S REALLY COMING AGAINST
GOD AND GOD WILL NOT PUT UP WITH IT FOREVER, AMEN?
"YOU COME TO ME WITH A SWORD, A SPEAR, AND A JAVELIN,
BUT I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS.
THIS DAY THE LORD WILL HAND YOU OVER TO ME, AND I WILL STRIKE
YOU DOWN AND I WILL CUT OFF YOUR HEAD.
AND I WILL GIVE YOUR CORPSE--THE CORPSES OF THE ARMY OF
THE PHILISTINES THIS DAY TO THE BIRDS OF THE SKY AND THE WILD
BEASTS OF THE EARTH, SO THAT ALL THE EARTH MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS
A GOD IN ISRAEL."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: "'AND THAT THIS ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MAY KNOW THAT THE LORD
DOES NOT SAVE WITH THE SWORD OR WITH THE SPEAR; FOR THE BATTLE
IS THE LORD'S AND HE WILL HAND YOU OVER TO ME.'
WHEN THE PHILISTINE ROSE AND CAME FORWARD
TO MEET DAVID," I LOVE THIS, THERE'S A GREAT MESSAGE IN WHAT
I'M GETTING READY TO READ, "DAVID RAN QUICKLY TOWARD
THE BATTLE LINE."
AND I SAID LAST NIGHT, A LOT OF TIMES WE THINK OUR PROBLEMS
TO DEATH.
IT'S LIKE WE STARE AT THE GIANT AND STARE AT THE GIANT,
AND THE MORE WE STARE AT HIM, THE MORE WE TALK ABOUT HIM,
THE BIGGER HE BECOMES.
AND I LOVE WHAT DAVID DID.
HE HAD SOME FAITH AND HE DIDN'T WANNA THINK ABOUT THE GIANT SO
LONG THAT THE GIANT GOT BIGGER THAN HIS FAITH, AND SO HE RAN
QUICKLY TOWARD THE BATTLE LINE.
AND MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO DO IN YOUR LIFE
AND YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO LONG.
AND MAYBE THE THING YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST GO DO WHAT YOU
BELIEVE GOD ASKED YOU TO DO.
"WELL, WHAT IF I'M WRONG?" WELL, SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY
YOU'RE EVER GONNA FIND OUT IF YOU'RE RIGHT IS TO TAKE A CHANCE
ON BEING WRONG.
DID YOU HEAR ME?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: ALL RIGHT, SO I WANNA TALK TO YOU THIS MORNING FOR
JUST A LITTLE BIT, AND I'M GONNA KINDA DO THE SAME THING,
THE SECOND PART OF THIS IN THE SECOND SERVICE IF YOU
CARE TO STAY AND HEAR THAT.
I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR AUTHORITY AS A BELIEVER
IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO A MAN WHO'S ACTUALLY BEEN DEAD
FOR 40 YEARS.
HIS NAME IS MARTIN LLOYD JONES.
AND IT GIVES ME ENCOURAGEMENT THAT, HOPEFULLY AND PRAYERFULLY,
A LONG TIME AFTER I'M NOT HERE ANYMORE, PEOPLE CAN STILL BE
LISTENING TO MY MESSAGES, AND MAYBE WATCHING MY PROGRAM ON TV,
AND READING SOME OF THESE BOOKS THAT I'VE WRITTEN.
BECAUSE PEOPLE GET OLD, BUT THE WORD OF GOD NEVER GETS OLD.
IT NEVER GETS OLD.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND HE'S AN EVANGELICAL, JUST A REALLY
STRONG, SOLID BIBLE TEACHER.
AND HE SAID SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY INTERESTING.
I NOTICED IN HIS LIBRARY OF STUFF THAT HE HAS SO MANY
MESSAGES ON SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND DEFEATING THE DEVIL.
HE HAS GOT, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE 500 AND SOME ODD MESSAGES
JUST OUT OF EPHESIANS.
AND HE SAID SOMETHING AND I WANT YOU TO GET THIS TODAY.
HE SAID ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES--NOW, HE SAID THIS
40 YEARS AGO, SO IT'S EVEN WORSE NOW.
HE SAID ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THAT THE EVANGELICAL
CHURCH HAS MADE IS WE DON'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT THE DEVIL, HIS
LIES, HIS SCHEMES, HIS TRICKS.
AND WE NEED TO INFORM PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE AN ENEMY, AND
THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO WATCH FOR HIM AND HOW TO COME AGAINST
HIM, AND THEY NEED TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NOW, YOU, HONESTLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO TALK
ABOUT THE DEVIL THAT MUCH.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO REALLY HEAR MESSAGES ABOUT
THE DEVIL AND DEMONIC POWER.
AND I HEAR PEOPLE SAY SOMETIMES, AND THIS IS A GREAT THING TO
SAY, AND I GET IT, I BELIEVE IT, "I'D RATHER JUST TALK ABOUT
THE LIGHT, AND IF YOU JUST FOCUS ON THE LIGHT, THEN THE LIGHT
WILL OVERCOME THE DARKNESS."
WELL, I AGREE WITH THAT, BUT I STILL BELIEVE WE NEED
TO BE INFORMED.
WE NEED TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN ENEMY, THE DEVIL, SATAN,
LUCIFER.
HE'S CALLED BY MANY DIFFERENT NAMES.
HE HATES US, HE HATES GOD, AND HE IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO
EVERYTHING THAT HE POSSIBLY CAN DO TO KEEP YOU FROM MAKING ANY
KIND OF PROGRESS IN YOUR LIFE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: SO, I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU THIS MORNING ABOUT THE
DEVIL, BECAUSE I WENT TO CHURCH FOR YEARS, AND YEARS, AND YEARS
AND NEVER HEARD ONE MESSAGE ABOUT THE DEVIL.
I HEARD A LOT OF DOCTRINE, GOOD, SOUND, SOLID DOCTRINE.
I WENT TO A CHURCH THAT TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT SALVATION BY
GRACE, NOT BY WORKS.
BUT I THOUGHT THE DEVIL WAS JUST, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, SOME
CHARACTER THAT CAME OUT ON HALLOWEEN IN RED PAJAMAS AND
HAD A LONG TAIL AND A PITCHFORK.
I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT I HAD A PERSONAL GIANT FOLLOWING
ME AROUND ALL THE TIME, TELLING ME LIES AND TRYING TO DEFEAT ME.
SO, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE BETTER AT WHAT THE BIBLE
CALLS WATCHING AND PRAYING.
WATCHING AND PRAYING.
AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WATCHING WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS
DOING WRONG AND PRAYING FOR THEM TO GET BETTER.
IT MEANS REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THE THINGS THAT ARE
HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE, AND KNOWING THE REAL SOURCE
THAT THEY'RE COMING FROM, AND UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE IN
CHRIST, AND TALKING BACK TO THE DEVIL, AND LETTING HIM KNOW THAT
HE IS NOT GOING TO RUN YOUR LIFE AND HE'S NOT GONNA WIN.
COME ON, GIVE GOD A PRAISE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHEN I HEARD MY FIRST MESSAGES 40-SOME ODD YEARS AGO
THAT AS A BELIEVER IN CHRIST I HAD AUTHORITY AND THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE TO JUST SIT BACK AND JUST PUT UP WITH WHATEVER WAS GOING
ON IN MY LIFE, IT WAS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME.
AND SO, WHAT I WANNA DO THIS MORNING IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE,
AND CONTINUING SOME INTO THE SECOND SERVICE, IS I JUST
WANNA HELP YOU GET A RENEWED, OR MAYBE FOR SOME OF YOU A NEW,
ATTITUDE ABOUT YOURSELF.
YOU'RE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL, ABOVE AND NOT BENEATH.
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN LEND AND NEVER HAVE TO BORROW.
HOW 'BOUT THAT?
WHO BELIEVES GOD FOR THAT ANYMORE?
WE ALL JUST ASSUME THAT WE GOTTA CHARGE IT,
AND MAKE PAYMENTS, AND JUST, YOU KNOW, LIVE FROM PAYCHECK
TO PAYCHECK.
THERE'S SO MANY PROMISES IN THE WORD OF GOD.
AND LISTEN TO WHAT I'M GONNA SAY, THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO
AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU RECEIVE CHRIST
AS YOUR SAVIOR AND YOU COME TO A GREAT CHURCH EVERY
SUNDAY MORNING.
WE NOT ONLY NEED TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR,
BUT WE NEED TO BELIEVE THAT WHAT HE PROMISES IN THE WORD IS NOT
JUST A SERMON, A MESSAGE.
IT'S NOT JUST FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, IT'S FOR ME.
AND I'M GONNA STAND MY GROUND AND BELIEVE GOD THAT I'M GONNA
HAVE IT IN MY LIFETIME AND THE ENEMY IS NOT GONNA PUSH ME
AROUND AND END UP THE WINNER.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF PROBLEMS,
AT LEAST I FIND THIS HAPPENS TO ME, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS
A LONG TIME AND PREACH THIS STUFF ALL THE TIME.
SOMETIMES I FIND IF THE PROBLEMS ARE LONG-STANDING AND ONE RIGHT
AFTER THE OTHER, I CAN BEGIN TO JUST FEEL LIKE, [SIGHING],
A LITTLE WEAK, A LITTLE WIMPY.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
BOY, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT ON TIMES LIKE THAT, I COULD USE
SOMEBODY LIKE ME TO PREACH ME THE MESSAGE THAT I'M GONNA TRY
TO PREACH YOU TODAY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I LIKE WHAT THE PASTOR SAID THIS MORNING ABOUT GETTING
YOUR LIFE ALIGNED.
WE ALL HIT POTHOLES IN LIFE, AND SOMETIMES THEY THROW OUR FAITH
AND OUR LIFE OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND WE GET A LITTLE BIT LOST OUT
THERE SOMEWHERE.
AND A LOT OF BEING IN CHURCH ON A REGULAR BASIS OR LISTENING TO
THE WORD IS IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT LEARNING SOMETHING
BRAND NEW THAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
EVERY TIME YOU COME TO CHURCH, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE A...
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: MY GOSH, THAT WAS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE
EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.
IT'S GOOD TO GET THAT, BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE JUST NEED TO HEAR IT
AGAIN BECAUSE WE FORGOT IT.
WE GOT LOST SOMEWHERE.
WE JUST NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
AND I KNOW FOR ME AS A MINISTER, SOMETIMES WHEN I'M PREACHING
THINGS THAT I'VE PREACHED 1,000 TIMES AND PROBABLY TO
PEOPLE THAT HAVE HEARD IT OVER AND OVER,
I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN,
AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN.
SO, IF I TELL YOU TO OPEN TO A SCRIPTURE THIS MORNING,
AND YOU OPEN IT UP, AND WOW, YOU'VE GOT IT UNDERLINED,
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU REALLY KNOW IT OR THAT
YOU'RE LIVING IT.
YOU KNOW, WE LOVE TO COLOR IN OUR BIBLES AND WE REALLY HOPE
THAT THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO US SEES HOW MUCH OF OUR BIBLE IS
COLORED IN IN YELLOW.
I MEAN, I GOT PINK IN HERE.
I'VE GOT ORANGE.
AND YOU KNOW, I FEEL--WHEN I GET TO THOSE SECTIONS, IT'S LIKE,
"WHOA."
SOME OF THAT'S LIKE, "WHOA, THAT IS, MAN, WHOO HOO."
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE DON'T KNOW ANY OF IT UNTIL WE'RE DOING IT AND IT'S WORKING
IN OUR LIVES.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: MATTHEW 10, "JESUS CALLED THE TWELVE DISCIPLES AND
GAVE THEM AUTHORITY AND POWER."
YOU HAVE AUTHORITY AND YOU HAVE POWER.
I WANT YOU TO GO OUT OF HERE TODAY JUST FEELING KINDA STRONG.
MAYBE YOU WALKED IN WITH YOUR HEAD HANGING DOWN A LITTLE BIT
AND JUST FEELING LIKE THE TAIL END OF EVERYTHING, BUT YOU MAY
GO OUT WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS YOU CAME IN WITH, BUT I WANT YOU
TO FEEL DIFFERENT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, "I CAN DO THIS."
IT MAY NOT BE FUN, I MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT GOD IS NOT GONNA
ABANDON ME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE, BUT ACCORDING TO THE WORD
I'VE ALREADY GOT THE VICTORY.
ALL I'M DOING RIGHT NOW IS JUST WALKING IT OUT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: LUKE 10:19, LOVE THIS SCRIPTURE, "LISTEN CAREFULLY: I
HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY," AND I LOVE WHAT THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE
SAYS, "[THAT YOU NOW POSSESS.]"
COME ON, YOU GOT IT RIGHT NOW.
"WELL, I DON'T FEEL VERY POWERFUL."
WELL, YOU GOT IT RIGHT NOW.
AND IF THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT IT, IF
THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT IT, COME ON.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE HAVE IF WE DON'T KNOW WE HAVE IT.
SO, YOU HAVE POWER, YOU HAVE AUTHORITY, AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
MORE POWER AND MORE AUTHORITY THAN THE ENEMY DOES.
NO MATTER HOW BIG THE GIANTS ARE IN YOUR LIFE, "GREATER IS HE
THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: COME ON, YOU CANNOT STAND AROUND AND THINK
200 TIMES A DAY, "I CAN'T DO THIS.
I JUST CAN'T DO THIS.
GOD, I GOTTA HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH TODAY.
I JUST CAN'T DO THIS."
DON'T LET YOURSELF THINK LIKE THAT.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY, "I CAN DO THIS.
GOD WILL NOT LET IT GO ON LONGER THAN WHAT I CAN BEAR.
I CAN DO THIS."
TALK TO YOURSELF AND TALK BACK TO THE DEVIL.
COME ON, YOU TALK TO YOURSELF ALL THE TIME ANYWAY, YOU MIGHT
AS WELL SAY SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA--AM I MAKING SENSE
TO ANYBODY TODAY?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW, CHURCH IS SO GREAT.
I MEAN, I THOUGHT THIS MORNING DURING THE WORSHIP, MAN, I COULD
JUST STAY HERE AND JUST--BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU GOTTA GO HOME.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: WE GET IN HERE AND WE FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT FOR
A LITTLE BIT, BUT I DON'T HAVE A MESSAGE THIS MORNING TO MAKE
ALL YOUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T.
I DON'T HAVE A MESSAGE TO MAKE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
BUT I DO HAVE A MESSAGE THAT'S PREACHED SEVERAL TIMES IN
SEVERAL WAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS GOD WILL NOT ALLOW MORE TO
COME ON ME THAN WHAT I CAN BEAR, BUT HE WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE
A WAY OUT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND YOU KNOW, SEE IF I CAN FIND THIS REAL QUICK.
MAN, I GOT THIS THING UNDERLINED AND I'VE BEEN--WHOO.
YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING A LITTLE OLDER, AND I ACTUALLY HIDE IT
PRETTY WELL, BUT YEAH.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND SO, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M GOING THROUGH A
LOT OF STUFF, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S PHYSICAL, YOU KNOW, I'LL START
TO THINK OR THE DEVIL WILL BE TELLING ME, "WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE JUST GETTING OLD AND YOU'VE DONE THIS A LONG TIME,"
AND YOU KNOW, "WELL, YOU'RE JUST GETTING OLD, AND OLD."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "I MEAN, YOU'VE HAD SIX SURGERIES.
COME ON, MAYBE YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE A REST."
WELL, LISTEN, LISTEN TO THIS.
THIS IS ISAIAH 46, VERSE 4, 3, SOMEWHERE THERE.
"YOU HAVE BEEN CARRIED BY ME FROM YOUR BIRTH AND HAVE BEEN
CARRIED [IN MY ARMS] FROM THE WOMB, EVEN INTO YOUR OLD AGE
I AM HE, AND EVEN INTO YOUR ADVANCED OLD AGE I WILL
CARRY YOU!
I HAVE MADE YOU, AND I WILL CARRY YOU; BE ASSURED I WILL
CARRY YOU AND I WILL SAVE YOU."
SEE, YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL ABOUT GETTING THIS, "I'M TOO YOUNG.
I'M TOO OLD.
IT'S TOO MUCH.
IT'S TOO HARD."
YOU CAN DO AND I CAN DO WHATEVER GOD GIVES ME TO DO BECAUSE HE IS
WITH US, GIVING US THE ABILITY TO DO IT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: IT'S EASY TO GET ALL EXCITED WHEN EVERYTHING IN YOUR
LIFE IS GOING GREAT, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERYTHING DOESN'T GO
GREAT ALL THE TIME.
NOW, WE HAVE AUTHORITY, BUT WE NEED TO EXERCISE IT.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT HAVING AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVIL MEANS
THAT WE JUST GO AROUND SCREAMING AT THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME.
"I REBUKE YOU!
I RESIST YOU!" YOU KNOW, WHEN I CAME INTO THE
SPIRIT-FILLED MOVE OF GOD BACK IN THE '70S, THERE WAS A LOT
OF TEACHING ABOUT SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
AND MAN, WE WERE TAUGHT HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL, AND I GOT
REALLY GOOD AT, "I REBUKE YOU!
I RESIST YOU!
RAAR, RAAR!" AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I REBUKED UNTIL MY REBUKER WAS WORN OUT AND I STILL HAVE SOME
OF THE SAME PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: NOW, I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT I'M GONNA TELL
YOU, 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE IT BUT IT'S TRUE ANYWAY.
RESISTING THE DEVIL, REBUKING THE DEVIL, TAKING AUTHORITY OVER
THE DEVIL DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN THAT YOU HAVE SOME POWERFUL WAY
FROM GOD TO GET YOUR PROBLEM TO GO AWAY.
SEE, I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: 'CAUSE SEE, MOST OF THE TIME, WE'RE NOT REALLY
RESISTING THE DEVIL, WE'RE RESISTING THE PROBLEM.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: THAT'S ALL RIGHT, I DON'T MIND IF WE JUST TAKE
A LITTLE WHILE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "WELL, I'M A CHILD OF GOD, AND BLESS GOD, I AM NOT
GONNA PUT UP WITH THIS!"
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: GOD PUT THIS IN MY HEART ONE TIME SEVERAL YEARS AGO
AND I'M GONNA OFFER IT TO YOU.
YOU CAN HAVE IT IF YOU WANT IT.
IF NOT, I GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT.
BUT THIS IS WHAT HE PUT IN MY HEART.
RESISTING THE DEVIL DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU GET RID OF EVERY
PROBLEM YOU'VE GOT.
IT MEANS THAT YOU RESIST ACTING LIKE THE DEVIL WHILE YOU'VE GOT
THE PROBLEM.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NOW REMEMBER, NO MATTER HOW BIG THE GIANTS ARE
IN YOUR LIFE, YOU HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY IN CHRIST TO MAKE IT
THROUGH AND COME OUT VICTORIOUS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
WE ALWAYS OFFER YOU THE WORD OF GOD IN VARIOUS FORMS OF
RESOURCES, AND TODAY WE'RE OFFERING YOU RESOURCES THAT WILL
HELP YOU, AND STRENGTHEN YOU, AND EQUIP YOU TO FACE YOUR
GIANTS.
