ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE
BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING THAT GOD TELLS US TO DO
IS FOR US.
WE DON'T READ THE BIBLE FOR GOD.
WE DON'T PRAY FOR GOD.
WE DO IT FOR US.
I NEED HELP, GOD. HELP ME.
THANK YOU.
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: YOU CANNOT ENJOY YOUR LIFE IF YOU FEEL LIKE GOD'S
MAD AT YOU, YOU JUST CAN'T BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT FUN THING
YOU DO, THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMETHING IN YOUR SOUL
THAT'S JUST SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.
AMEN?
AUDIENCE: AMEN.
JOYCE: NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF PROMOTION YOU GET AT WORK,
YOU'RE NOT GONNA REALLY ENJOY IT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE UNDER
PRESSURE ALL THE TIME TO IMPRESS SOMEBODY.
CAN I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT FREE 'TIL YOU HAVE NO NEED
TO IMPRESS ANYBODY?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHOO-HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO!
HALLELUJAH.
MY, MY, MY, MY, MY.
SEE, I ACTUALLY ENJOY WHAT I'M DOING BECAUSE I'M NOT UNDER
PRESSURE WHILE I DO IT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GONNA SAY NEXT.
I'M AS SURPRISED AS YOU ARE.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I MEAN I GOT A MESSAGE, IT WORKS SOMETIMES
AND SOMETIMES IT DON'T BUT, MAN, I'M SO DEPENDENT ON GOD, IT
JUST SCARES THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME IF I THINK ABOUT IT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: SEE, YOU CAN'T ENJOY LIFE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PEACE.
SO LET'S JUST START DOWN HERE AND SAY, OKAY, IF YOU'RE
NOT ENJOYING YOUR LIFE, WHY?
SO WE KIND OF TRY TO BYPASS THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO HAVE AND WE GO-- WE SKIP IN THE MIDDLE, AND
WE JUMP ALL THE WAY OVER TO HERE TO "I KNOW WHY I'M NOT
ENJOYING MY LIFE, BECAUSE I NEED A PROMOTION AT WORK."
COME ON NOW.
"I KNOW WHY I'M NOT ENJOYING MY LIFE, I NEED A BIGGER HOUSE.
I KNOW WHY I'M NOT ENJOYING MY LIFE, I'M NOT MARRIED
AND I'M TIRED OF BEING ALONE AND IF I WAS JUST MARRIED,
I WOULD ENJOY MY LIFE."
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE.
[LAUGHING]
JOYCE: HEY, I LOVE BEING MARRIED BUT, YOU KNOW,
IT DOESN'T COME WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS
ONCE IN A WHILE.
WE'RE PRETTY MUCH THROUGH ALL THAT.
YOU KNOW, JUST IF YOU'RE MARRIED, JUST STICK IT OUT.
KIND OF GET THE ONE YOU GOT TRAINED, YOU KNOW?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHOO!
DAVE AND I GET ALONG SO GOOD NOW, AND I LOOK BACK
AT ALL THE DUMB STUFF WE USED TO FIGHT OVER.
AND YOU KNOW IT USED TO MAKE MY SO MAD, HE STILL DOES IT.
NOW, I JUST DON'T GET MAD.
I JUST GO ENJOY MYSELF, HAVE A GOOD DAY.
ALL RIGHT, ARE YOU WITH ME?
"I'M NOT ENJOYING MY LIFE."
I MEAN, THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
THEY'RE A GAZILLION, BAZILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ENJOYING
THEIR LIFE, THEY'RE NOT HAPPY SO THEY THINK, "IT'S
YOUR FAULT I'M NOT HAPPY.
IF I HAD MORE MONEY, I'D BE HAPPY.
IF I WAS IN THE RIGHT SOCIAL GROUP, I'D BE HAPPY.
IF I HAD MORE OF THIS AND ANOTHER ONE OF THAT AND
IF I WAS MORE APPRECIATED, I WOULD BE HAPPY."
AND I'M TELLING YA, YOU'RE JUST SKIPPING THROUGH THE REAL STUFF
BECAUSE REALLY WHAT YOU NEED IS TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST,
TO LIKE YOURSELF, TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF ON YOUR GOOD DAYS
AND ON YOUR BAD DAYS, THEN YOU CAN HAVE PEACE,
THEN YOU CAN HAVE JOY, THEN GOD CAN GIVE YOU ALL THIS STUFF!
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: HALLELUJAH.
I PRAY THAT GOD DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT UNTIL
YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE CONFIDENCE IS NOT IN THEM, YOUR SECURITY
IS NOT IN THEM, YOUR JOY IS NOT IN THEM.
YOU GOTTA GET GROUNDED IN GOD FIRST, THEN YOU CAN HAVE
ANYTHING THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: RIGHTEOUSNESS, WEARING OUR ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
OR AS EPHESIANS 6 PUTS IT, THE BREASTPLATE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT THE DEVIL.
LET ME TELL YOU, WE ARE IN A WAR,
AND IT IS A SPIRITUAL WAR.
LET'S GO TO EPHESIANS 6, VERSE 11.
"PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD [THE ARMOR OF A HEAVY-ARMED
SOLDIER WHICH GOD SUPPLIES], THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
SUCCESSFULLY STAND UP AGAINST [ALL] THE STRATEGIES,
THE DECEITS OF THE DEVIL."
SO WE SEE THAT THERE'S A BATTLE GOING ON OF LIES, DECEITS,
STRATEGIES AND IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT DECEPTION IS RUNNING
WILD IN THE WORLD TODAY, YOU NEED TO OPEN YOUR EYES
AND TAKE A LOOK.
I MEAN, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT THEY THINK
ARE NOT A PROBLEM AND EVEN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT BELIEVING
PEOPLE ARE DOING AND THEY THINK, "WELL, GOD UNDERSTANDS,"
IT'S SCARY.
I MEAN, IT'S REALLY DOWNRIGHT SCARY.
ONE PASTOR SAID TO ME RECENTLY, HE SAID, "I'M SO TIRED OF PEOPLE
COMING TO ME TO TRY TO FIND OUT IF THEY CAN DO THIS
AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN.
CAN I DO THAT AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN?
CAN I DO THIS AND IT WILL BE OKAY WITH GOD?"
THE WORLD IS NOT OUR STANDARD, AND THE WORD OF GOD HAS NOT
CHANGED SINCE IT WAS WRITTEN.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AMEN?
AND WE'RE IN A GREATER FIGHT TODAY THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN IN
BEFORE.
AND A LARGE PART OF IT IS A FIGHT FOR MORALITY.
WE NEED TO HAVE A STANDARD IN OUR LIFE.
DO YOU HAVE A STANDARD FOR YOUR LIFE?
AS A YOUNG PERSON, DO YOU HAVE A STANDARD FOR WHAT KIND OF
PARTIES YOU'LL GO TO?
"I WILL NOT GO TO PARTIES WHERE THERE ARE DRUGS,
THAT'S MY STANDARD.
I WILL NOT WATCH THIS KIND OF STUFF ON TELEVISION.
I WILL NOT GO TO THESE KINDS OF MOVIES.
I WILL NOT HANG OUT AND BECOME CLOSE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH
PEOPLE WHO DO THESE THINGS."
ARE YOU GONNA FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE?
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T FIGHT FOR IT, NOBODY ELSE IS GOING TO.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: PSALM 1:1 SAYS, "DON'T SIT PASSIVE AND INACTIVE
IN THE PATHWAY OF SINNERS.
DON'T SIT DOWN [TO REST AND RELAX] WHERE THE SCORNFUL
[AND THE MOCKERS] GATHER."
HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD.
NOW MAKE SURE THAT YOU STILL HAVE AN INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD.
DON'T AVOID ALL SINNERS AND UNBELIEVERS.
WE NEED TO GET AROUND THEM ENOUGH TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE
ON THEM.
BUT WHAT I ALWAYS SAY IS HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE AS LONG AS
YOU'RE AFFECTING THEM, BUT IF THEY START INFECTING YOU,
THEN YOU BETTER MOVE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WE'RE IN A WAR AND GOD HAS GIVEN US THE ARMOR
THAT WE NEED.
WE NEED TO SEE OURSELVES AS A HEAVY-ARMED SOLDIER.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED.
VERSE 12, "FOR WE ARE NOT WRESTLING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD,
WE'RE NOT [CONTENDING ONLY WITH PHYSICAL OPPONENTS],
BUT WE ARE AGAINST THE DESPOTISMS, THE POWERS,
[THE MASTER SPIRITS WHO ARE]
THE WORLD RULERS OF THIS PRESENT DARKNESS.
WE WRESTLE WITH THE SPIRIT FORCES OF WICKEDNESS
IN THE HEAVENLY (SUPERNATURAL) SPHERE."
THE DEVIL IS BEHIND ALL EVIL.
SOME DEMON IS BEHIND ALL EVIL.
EVERY TIME SOMEBODY HURTS YOU AND IS UNKIND TO YOU,
IT'S NOT JUST THEM, THE ENEMY IS WORKING THROUGH THEM.
HE'S FOUND A WAY IN THEM TO GET AT YOU.
"THEREFORE PUT ON GOD'S COMPLETE ARMOR."
AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS, BUT HE STARTS
IN VERSE 14 AND HE SAYS, "[HOLD YOUR GROUND], HAVING
TIGHTENED THE BELT OF TRUTH."
THAT MEANS WHEN YOU ARE IN A BATTLE, YOU NEED
TO HANG ON TO THE WORD OF GOD LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
"I BELIEVE THE WORD.
I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE IT.
I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE IT.
I BELIEVE IT. I DON'T CARE HOW I FEEL.
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
I DON'T CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES.
I BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD.
GOD IS FAITHFUL."
AND THE SECOND THING IT SAYS IS "PUT ON" AND "PUT ON"
IS AN ACTION WORD.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO DO.
I HAD TO PUT MY CLOTHES ON THIS MORNING.
I DIDN'T JUST STAND IN FRONT OF THE CLOSET AND HOPE
THEY JUMPED ON MY BODY.
[LAUGHING]
JOYCE: IT'S A VERY SIMPLE ANALOGY, BUT WE MISS IT.
PUT OFF THE OLD MAN.
PUT ON THE NEW MAN.
PUT ON LOVE.
IF I PUT SOMETHING ON THAT DON'T LOOK GOOD ON ME, I TAKE IT OFF
AND PUT ON SOMETHING ELSE.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S A LOT OF BELIEVERS THAT ARE GOING OUT
SPIRITUALLY DRESSED IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON THEM,
AND THEY NEED TO GO BACK HOME AND CHANGE CLOTHES.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AMEN?
"AND HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF INTEGRITY
AND MORAL RECTITUDE AND RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD."
THEN IT GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SHOES OF PEACE AND
THE HELMET OF SALVATION, AND ALL THAT'S ANOTHER WHOLE SERIES
TOO WHICH WE'RE NOT AFTER.
MY POINT IS IS IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT THE DEVIL, YOU BETTER
KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, AND YOU HAVE TO LEARN THE TRUTH
AND WHEN THE DEVIL LIES TO YOU, YOU NEED TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
DON'T JUST WAIT TO GET A SERMON FROM SOMEBODY ELSE.
KNOW THE WORD ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY,
"DEVIL, YOU ARE A LIAR.
GOD IS NOT MAD AT ME.
I AM FORGIVEN, AND I'M NOT-- I AM NOT--DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME,
DEVIL?
I AM NOT, NOT, NOT GONNA LIVE UNDER CONDEMNATION."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I REMEMBER WALKING AROUND MY HOUSE LITERALLY
ALMOST SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS,
"I AM GOING TO ENJOY MY LIFE!"
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: THAT WAS A REAL BATTLE FOR ME BECAUSE
I NEVER GOT TO BE A KID.
I MEAN, MY DAD STARTED SEXUALLY ABUSING ME WHEN I WAS JUST
A LITTLE GIRL, AND SO I NEVER REALLY GOT TO BE A KID.
AND I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE IN HIS PRESENCE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO ME TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH GOD?
I WAS NEVER COMFORTABLE AROUND MY DAD BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS
ANGRY AND YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT WHAT.
AND SOME OF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
YOU HAD A GOOD START, BUT SOME OF YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
BUT I TELL YA, DON'T GET A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER
AND FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
LET GOD GIVE YOU DOUBLE FOR YOUR TROUBLE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: LET GOD BRING JUSTICE INTO YOUR LIFE.
AMEN?
LET HIM GIVE YOU BEAUTY FOR ASHES AND STAND UP AND TESTIFY
AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.
AND IF HE'S DONE IT FOR YOU, HE'LL DO IT FOR THEM.
THAT'S HOW WE SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST, BECOMING
LIVING EPISTLES READ OF ALL MEN.
WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WHO IS RIGHTEOUS?
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, GOD IS RIGHTEOUS, AND HE GIVES US
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOT JUST SOME RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE GIVES US HIS VERY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHEN
WE BELIEVE BY FAITH THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS, PAID FOR THEM
AND SET US COMPLETELY FREE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: IT'S ALMOST TOO GOOD TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT,
ISN'T IT?
IT'S TAKEN MY WHOLE LIFE AND IT'S STILL SINKING IN.
HOW CAN ANYTHING BE THIS GOOD AND BE FREE?
NOW, YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN JUST LIVE THIS SLOPPY
LIFE OF INTENTIONAL SIN AND THEN TRY TO APPLY
THIS PART OF THE MESSAGE.
THE BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS IN 1 JOHN 3:9 THAT ANYONE
BORN OF GOD CANNOT KNOWINGLY, HABITUALLY, INTENTIONALLY
CONTINUE IN SIN.
YOU CANNOT BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A NEW NATURE AND THAT NEW NATURE
KEEPS FIGHTING WITH THAT OLD NATURE.
AND AS YOU CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD, YOU
GET FREER AND FREER AND FREER, AND YOU'RE LIVING MORE AND MORE
AND MORE AND MORE OUT OF THAT NEW NATURE AND THE DEVIL
JUST GETS MADDER AND MADDER AND MADDER.
HE IS THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.
HE'S ALWAYS GONNA TELL YOU YOU'RE NOT DOING GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH.
YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH.
YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT.
SO LEARN ENOUGH OF THE WORD TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
"I AM ANOINTED.
I AM A CHILD OF GOD.
I DO HAVE GIFTS AND TALENTS.
MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
I AM FORGIVEN," AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE RIGHT WITH GOD?
IT MEANS THAT YOU'RE NOT WRONG WITH GOD.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: GREAT REVELATION.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE CHRIST, YOU RECEIVE RIGHTNESS,
THE WRONGNESS IS GONE.
I DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.
I CAN ACTUALLY SAY, THERE ARE SOME THINGS NOW
THAT ARE RIGHT WITH ME AND THEY'RE GROWING EVERY DAY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: RIGHTEOUSNESS TALKS ABOUT POWER AND AUTHORITY
WITH GOD.
IT INDICATES FREEDOM.
IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE BEEN MADE JUST OR WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED
AND WHEN YOU'RE JUSTIFIED THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST,
AND I LOVE THIS, IT MEANS TO BE JUST AS IF YOU NEVER SINNED.
I DIDN'T MAKE THIS UP.
I GOT IT OUT OF THE GREEK DICTIONARY, IF THAT
IMPRESSES YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL OR NOT BUT--
YOU KNOW IF A PREACHER DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT,
THEY CAN JUST SAY, IN THE GREEK SAYS, AND EVERYBODY'S IMPRESSED.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: RIGHTEOUSNESS CANNOT BE BOUGHT.
IT CANNOT BE PURCHASED WITH GOOD WORKS.
WE DON'T TRY TO BE GOOD TO GET RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO BE GOOD BECAUSE WE ARE RIGHT WITH GOD.
IT IS OUR NEW NATURE, SO HOW COULD I GET UP EVERY DAY
AS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST AND JUST WANT TO DO
SOMETHING BAD?
I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING BAD.
I WANT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.
BUT THANK GOD WHEN I DO MAKE A MISTAKE, 1 JOHN 2:1, WHICH
I DIDN'T FINISH QUOTING--EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE GOD REMINDS ME
OF WHAT I LEFT AND I GO BACK.
"MY LITTLE CHILDREN, I WRITE THIS TO YOU THAT YOU MAY NOT
SIN, BUT IF ANYBODY DOES SIN, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER
JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS WHO IS THE PROPITIATION
FOR ALL OF OUR SINS."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: LIKE I SHARED ON FRIDAY MORNING.
HATE SIN, I HATE SIN.
GOD HATES SIN, BUT HE LOVES SINNERS.
I HATE MY SIN, BUT I LOVE MYSELF.
CAN'T YOU IMAGINE THAT THAT MAKES THE DEVIL FURIOUS?
LET'S SAY THAT JUST FOR PRACTICE.
SAY, "I HATE MY SIN."
AUDIENCE: I HATE MY SIN.
JOYCE: "BUT I LOVE MYSELF."
AUDIENCE: BUT I LOVE MYSELF.
JOYCE: WHOO-HOO, DOESN'T THAT FEEL GOOD?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: MY GOODNESS, I'M GLAD I'M GONNA LEAVE THIS TOWN HAPPY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND LISTEN, WHEN YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST,
THE RESULT OF THAT IS NO CONDEMNATION, NO GUILT.
YOU'RE NO LONGER TORMENTED WITH GUILT.
SEE, ONCE YOU GET THE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING "I'M A CHILD OF
GOD, I'VE BEEN PURCHASED WITH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST BECAUSE
I HAVE FAITH IN JESUS, JUST CHILD LIKE FAITH.
JESUS, I BELIEVE THAT YOU DID WHAT YOU SAID YOU DID.
I BELIEVE IT.
I BELIEVE IT."
BECAUSE OF THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT YOU ARE NOW BECOME
RIGHT WITH GOD.
NO MAN IS MADE RIGHT BY HIS WORKS.
HE'S ONLY MADE RIGHT THROUGH HIS FAITH IN CHRIST.
AND THAT MEANS THAT GOD LOVES ME, HE ACCEPTS ME.
AND SEE, WHEN YOU KNOW THAT GOOD NEWS, THERE'S NO WAY THAT
YOU CAN PURPOSELY JUST LIVE A MESSED-UP SLOPPY LIFE.
AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY, AND YOU KNOW I GUESS
I BETTER BE CAREFUL.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANYBODY MAD.
I'M NOT ANYBODY'S JUDGE, CERTAINLY NOT THE JURY.
BUT MAYBE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE THAT CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS AND
THEY GOT THEIR BUMPER STICKER AND THE CROSS AROUND THEIR NECK
AND THEY'RE LIVING LIKE THE DEVIL, MAYBE WHAT THEY GOT
IS A LITTLE BIT OF DEAD, DRY, RELIGION, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
MAYBE THEY'RE NOT REALLY BORN AGAIN.
MAYBE THEY'RE STILL IN THAT RELIGIOUS STATE.
HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US AS A FREE GIFT
AND NOT WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT WITH "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHAT
CAN I DO TO GLORIFY YOUR NAME?
WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS MESSAGE TO SOMEBODY ELSE?"
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: HOW CAN I BE SATISFIED TO LIVE A SLOPPY LIFE AND
JUST HOPE I CAN GET BY WITH IT AND MAYBE SNEAK IN THE BACK DOOR
OF HEAVEN?
LET ME JUST SIMPLY SAY TO YOU TODAY, IF YOU HAVE NOT FULLY
SURRENDERED YOUR LIFE TO GOD, IF YOU STILL GOT ALL THESE AREAS
THAT YOU'RE KEEPING CLOSED OFF FOR YOU, WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO
YOURSELF THE BIGGEST FAVOR THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO YOURSELF
AND JUST TOTALLY SURRENDER TODAY?
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU AHEAD OF TIME, YOU AIN'T GONNA LIKE
SOME OF IT IN THE BEGINNING.
BUT OH, MAN, ARE YOU GONNA GET HAPPY LATER ON.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WHOA, ARE YOU GONNA GET HAPPY LATER ON BECAUSE
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING THAT GOD TELLS US TO DO IS FOR US.
WE DON'T READ THE BIBLE FOR GOD.
WE DON'T PRAY FOR GOD.
WE DO IT FOR US.
"I NEED HELP, GOD, HELP ME.
THANK YOU.
I NEED A JOB, GOD, COULD YOU GIVE ME FAVOR WHEN I GO OUT TO
LOOK FOR ONE?" YOU KNOW, GOD CAN EVEN
GET YOU A JOB THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN QUALIFIED FOR AND
GIVE YOU THE GIFTING TO DO IT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: BUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE NOT GONNA PRAY FOR FAVOR
IF THEY DON'T THINK THEY EVEN DESERVE, YOU KNOW,
THE BOTTOM OF THE BUCKET.
THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME FAVOR.
YOU THINK, MAN, I PRAY FOR FAVOR WITH YOU GUYS EVERY TIME
I GET UP HERE.
I'M NOT DUMB.
I'M NOT GONNA TRY TO MAKE YOU LIKE ME.
GOD CAN MAKE YOU LIKE ME.
[LAUGHING]
[APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GUILTY ALL THE TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU GET INTO AGREEMENT WITH GOD?
HOW ABOUT GETTING INTO AGREEMENT WITH GOD?
LET'S JUST START AGREEING WITH GOD.
LET'S AGREE WITH GOD ABOUT OUR PAST.
IT'S OVER, DEAD, BURIED AND GONE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND I'LL TELL YA SOMETHING EVEN BETTER ABOUT
YOUR PAST.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO REGRET IT.
"WELL, SURELY I SHOULD REGRET THE LIFE I LIVED."
WELL, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO BUT IF YOU SPEND TODAY IN REGRET,
IT'S GONNA STEAL PART OF YOUR DAY.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST SAY, "YOU KNOW, GOD, I'VE ALL DONE THAT.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU AND
I THINK YOU CAN TAKE MY MESS AND MAKE A MIRACLE OUT OF IT."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: MY WHOLE MINISTRY'S MADE OUT OF THE FACT THAT
I WAS ALL MESSED UP, SO HURT BY OTHER PEOPLE THAT I THOUGHT
I WAS USELESS AND WORTHLESS.
AND THEN I FOUND OUT WHO I WAS IN CHRIST, MY, MY, MY, MY, MY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO REGRET YOUR PAST.
GOD CAN TAKE ANYTHING AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT IF YOU GIVE IT
TO HIM, ANYTHING.
GOD CAN TAKE ANYTHING AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT.
MY GOSH, I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO COME UP THERE AND GET YOU
AND SHAKE YOU OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AGREE WITH GOD ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
GET INTO AGREEMENT WITH GOD ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
HOW ABOUT AGREEING WITH GOD ABOUT YOURSELF,
WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST AND WHAT YOU'VE GOT GOING FOR YOU?
HOW ABOUT AGREEING WITH GOD THAT YOU'VE GOT AUTHORITY OVER
THE DEVIL AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET HIM WALK ALL OVER YOU?
HOW ABOUT AGREEING WITH GOD THAT YOU ARE DEAD TO SIN AND ALIVE
TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WOW, WE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
STOP AGREEING WITH THE DEVIL.
THE DEVIL SAYS, "YOU'RE STUPID."
YOU SAY, "I'M STUPID."
DEVIL WHISPERS IN YOUR EAR, "EH, YOU'LL NEVER AMOUNT
TO ANYTHING."
"YEAH, I'LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING."
DON'T JUST LET THE DEVIL WHISPER LIES IN OUR EAR AND THEN
SPEAK THEM OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
KNOW THE WORD WELL ENOUGH THAT WHEN THE DEVIL LIES TO YOU,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TRUE.
I TOLD SOMEBODY THIS MORNING I SAID, "YOU KNOW, I MEAN
HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, I GOTTA BE REAL AND TELL YA, YOU KNOW, I'VE
BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'M PRETTY FEISTY BUT WHEN I FIRST WAKE UP
IN THE MORNINGS OUT IN THESE HOTELS,
ESPECIALLY BY SATURDAY MORNING, I'M PRETTY TIRED."
AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE TIRED, YOUR MIND CAN GO IN THE DITCH
REAL FAST.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND SO IT'S LIKE EVERY SINGLE TIME THE DUMB DEVIL TRIES
TO SAY THE SAME THING TO ME, YOU'D THINK BY NOW HE'D COME UP
WITH SOMETHING NEW AND CREATIVE.
SO THIS IS WHAT I HEARD THIS MORNING SITTING OVER
IN THE HOTEL IN PORTLAND, "I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
KEEP DOING THIS MUCH LONGER."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING THAT.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO KEEP DOING IT FOR THE DEVIL
TO GET THE UNDERSTANDING THAT I'M NOT GONNA QUIT?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: IT IS JUST LIKE WASTED WORDS, AND WE NEED TO GET TO
THE POINT WHERE WHEN WE HEAR THAT JUNK FROM THE ENEMY,
IT'S JUST LIKE BACKGROUND NOISE.
IT'S LIKE, "GIVE IT A REST, DEVIL."
"WELL, SURELY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK AROUND
AND NOT FEEL GUILTY."
WELL, I'VE REPENTED.
I'VE ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE ME, AND I'M MORE THAN READY TO GO
IN A NEW DIRECTION.
I'M DEPENDING ON GOD TO HELP ME.
I KNOW WHO I AM IN CHRIST.
SO YES, I DON'T HAVE TO GO AROUND FEELING GUILTY
ALL THE TIME.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: OKAY LISTEN, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REVELATION ON THIS,
I WANT YOU TO SAY A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY,
"I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST."
GO AHEAD.
LET'S ALL SAY IT NOW TOGETHER, "I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF GOD IN CHRIST."
AND HOW ABOUT BELIEVING THIS, AND I'D LIKE TO KIND OF LEAVE
YOU WITH THESE WORDS JUST SO YOU LEAVE COMFORTED.
HOW ABOUT IF WE BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD
IS ALWAYS WITH US?
HE NEVER LEAVES US NOR FORSAKES US.
I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL GOD TO KNOW THAT HE'S WITH ME.
WE GET TOO MUCH OFF INTO THAT FEELING THING.
"WELL, GOD, I DON'T FEEL THAT YOU'RE HERE."
WELL, HE'S ALREADY SAID HE IS.
GOD'S WITH YOU ALL THE TIME.
HE'S GOT YOU COVERED.
GOD'S GOT YOUR BACK.
AMEN?
COME ON, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP BELIEVING, THERE'S NO WAY
THAT YOU CAN FAIL.
GOD IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, AND GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU.
COME ON.
I SAID, GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU!
JOYCE: WELL, IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH INSECURITY, JUST
REMIND YOURSELF OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS YOURS AND BE CONFIDENT THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND DESIRES
THE VERY BEST FOR YOU.
NOW, WE'RE OFFERING RESOURCES TODAY, THAT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
