welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with
New York Times bestselling author Joyce
Meyer on today’s program Joyce will be
teaching from her series trust God and
do good the answer to everything is that
simple trust God and do good it’s so
freeing to believe God has everything
under control because that means we can
spend less time worrying and more time
trying to help others now here’s Joyce
with today’s teaching so for those of
you tonight either here in the building
are watching from home and you feel like
everything in your world is
shaking I
understand what you’re going through but
I can tell you that many of those things
that are shaking are things that you
don’t really need in your life
anyway they’re not stable things and
God’s going to give you something that
is stable which is more of him do you
know the less of other stuff you have
the more of God there’s room for in your
life
I remember one time moaning oh God I
just don’t have anybody but
you poor Joy just stuck with God isn’t
that
terrible all right verse 26 then at
Mount Si his voice shook the
Earth but now he has given a
promise yet once more I will shake and
make tremble not only the Earth but also
the starry Heavens now this is
expression yet once more indicates the
final removal and transformation of all
that can be
shaken that
is what has been created in order that
that which cannot be shaken May remain
and continue I wonder how many people
would have the courage to pray sincerely
God I invite you to shake everything in
my life that can be
shaken I didn’t see too many hands up
but so that only those things that
cannot be
shaken remain how many of you want a
better life you know what you got to go
through to get
[Applause]
there let us therefore receive a kingdom
that is firm and stable and cannot be
shaken and let us offer to God pleasing
service and acceptable worship with
modesty and Pious care and godly fear
and a for our God is indeed a consuming
fire I’m getting ready I’ve already
started putting together the notes I’m
going to I’m going to teach a message on
the fire of God coming up here
sometime real soon you know the Bible
talks a lot about fire fire is a
purifying
agent and I believe the baptism of fire
which the Bible talks about John said I
baptize you in water but one will come
after me who will baptize you with the
Holy Ghost and with
fire we don’t hear enough about the
baptism of Fire
but I’ve had that in my life and many of
you have had that in your life and it
wasn’t pleasant but I’ll tell you what
it amounts to God comes
in and he burns up everything in your
life that is
useless and what’s worth keeping he sets
on fire for his
[Applause]
glory I’m going to say that one more
time cuz you’re looking at me kind of
bug
eyed why do we want to hang on to
useless stuff I don’t know do you have
any bad attitudes that could be burned
out of
you no not you I’m
sure when the fire of God comes in our
life we sing songs like oh God send your
fire when the fire of God comes into our
life it’s going to be painful before
it’s
Pleasant
amen you know we’re so afraid of pain
but a lot of times pain makes things
better it
does sometimes you can have eternal pain
that’s getting you nowhere but if you
have the right kind of pain or if you
embrace the right kind of pain for a
short period of time it will bring you
into a much better
place I can use the example of the knee
Replacements I mean the gosh I hope I
don’t have to have a knee replaced the
the hip replacement surgery that I had I
put up with back pain for 20 plus years
pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain
pain how many of you have had pain long
enough in your life and I’m not just
talking physical pain I’m talking
emotional pain or any other kind of pain
is anybody tired of being upset all the
time tired of being mad at people
because you you choose bad friends that
you won’t let go of and then you don’t
understand
why not just pray God get every person
out of my life that is not good for
me and even if I’m lonely for a long
time give me people in my life that are
right godly people that I can count on
and
Trust well I tell you what if I can get
you to pray some specific ways we can
get some of God’s business done in this
place
tonight not just oh God bless bless
me bless me Lord now how about send your
fire Shake everything in my life that
can be can be shaken and it it may not
be pleasant for a while but honey later
on later on later on is such an anointed
time in our lives you see now I’m living
in later
on but it wasn’t easy to get here it was
worth it I finally got fed up with going
around and around the same stupid
mountains over and over and over oh God
I don’t understand what’s wrong oh God
I I hope somebody in the building is at
that place tonight and my message can do
you some kind of
good so we at least pray God you do what
you want to do in my
life I have a little prayer that I pray
God if you have to tie me to the
altar that’s why if you have to tie me
to The Altar and don’t let me get away
but do what you want to do in my
life
now our God is indeed a consuming fire
you know sometimes people have
everything in your life in their life
shaken in
reality in Nepal not very long ago there
was a sudden and a terrible earthquake
how many of you heard about that okay
you know we hear about things like that
and sadly we forget them about as quick
as we hear about them and we’re sorry
for the people and their lives are left
in
Devastation but these are times when the
body of Christ needs to rise up and at
least pray God is there something I can
do so I can’t even just imagine if that
was you if you were having a cup of tea
and all of a sudden few minutes later
your house is in shambles around you you
can’t find some of your children perhaps
your parents have been killed or many
other terrible terrible things and you
know when people are in situations like
that they tend to think that life is
over but I want to tell you something no
matter what condition your life is in
right now no matter how many pieces it’s
in with God’s help you can
rebuild you can rebuild and the people
in Nepal can
rebuild and this will be on television
there and I’m purposely trying to use a
little bit of this to encourage them
that they can
rebuild their lives can be rebuilt and
no matter how far you think you are away
from God he knows where you’re at and
God will go to any links to get to you
and to help you God will find somebody
that he can love you through and he will
love you back into wholeness and he will
me meet your needs if you trust
him we just sent a team of people to
Nepal because we want to see what we can
do we can’t fix the whole problem but we
can do
something and so we picked a village
that we want to do some work in and our
team got there and the roads were washed
out they had to walk into the village
which was mostly downhill and some some
of the equipment got dropped and got
damaged and it was just I mean they said
it was absolutely the most difficult
missions trip that they had ever been on
but it’s good for us sometimes to do
something that’s hard if we’re doing it
to help somebody else because that says
to them somebody does care about me amen
and I want you to know that God cares
about you and God will find you no
matter where you’re at and he’ll send
you the help that you need Isaiah
4029 through
31 are wonderful scriptures that we
should take a look at right now you know
them he gives power to the faint and the
weary and to him who has no might he
increases strength causing it to
multiply and making it
abound even young people shall faint and
be weary and selected young men shall
feebly stumble and fall exhausted but
they that wait upon the
Lord see I knew you’d like that but they
that wait upon the Lord who expect look
for and hope in him shall change and
renew their
strength through the strength of God you
can rise up and
rebuild you can run and not be weary you
can walk and you shall not faint when I
ask how many of you felt like everything
in your life was shaking I spotted a few
people not everybody but I could tell
from looking at you that there’s some
really major things going on in your
life right now well you know what
congratulations to you for being in the
house of
God to get the help that you need and
they that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength they shall Mount up with
wings as eagles they shall run and not
be weary they shall walk and they shall
not faint you can rebuild everybody say
I can rebuild I can
re except the the Lord builds the house
they labor in
vain that build it maybe your house fell
down because you were trying to build it
before how about this go around let’s
let God build the
house let’s let him be the one that
builds it well what do you do when
things are happening in your life and
you just don’t understand Psalm 37:3
trust in the Lord and do
good trust lean on rely on and be
confident in the Lord and do good very
simple it’s a two-step plan to success
when everything in your life is falling
apart trust God and do good now I did
this in detail this morning but let me
quickly say that whatever ails us God’s
word is medicine for our
soul you know like for example if if I
sin and I’m miserable with guilt because
I’ve sinned I can take a good dose of
God forgives
me I can take a good dose of the mercy
of God and be healed in my
soul if I’m mad at somebody else because
they’ve hurt me I can take a good dose
of I forgive
you and be completely healed if I’m sick
with
jealousy because somebody else is
getting what I want I can take a great
big dose of
contentment and my soul can be
healed but there’s one thing that is the
answer to every problem that ails us and
it’s called trust
God and do good if you have a nice big
bottle of both of these things in your
house I don’t care what ails you you’ve
got what you
need to always be well now look this is
a prescription for trust comes from Dr
Jesus the patient is prescribed for is
whosoever
take as many as you need for as long as
you need refills are endless but you
have to be careful this stuff has side
effects I mean when you start taking
trust
wow you have a side effect of Peace
