welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with

New York Times bestselling author Joyce

Meyer on today’s program Joyce will be

teaching from her series life is what

you make it if we want to have a great

life we must learn to do things God’s

way we’re all created with free choice

but if we’re obedient to following his

word he will give us the desires of our

heart now here’s Joy with today’s

teaching few weeks ago God said to

me on a day when I was about to have a

bad

mood how many of you can tell when

you’re about to have a bad

mood that’s the time to do something

about it don’t wait till you’ve been in

a bad mood for a week

but get it right away first Peter 5 in

the Amplified says resist the devil at

his

onset he roams about like a lion roaring

in Fierce hunger seeking whom he may

devour

whom resist steadfast in the faith

knowing that the same identical

sufferings are appointed to your

brethren throughout the world everybody

is going through stuff so we don’t need

to feel sorry for ourselves when we’re

going through things we need to start

doing what the Bible says submit

yourself to God resist the devil and he

will flee we have authority over the

devil but we have to use it it’s not

going to just be an automatic thing and

so I knew right away that God was

talking to me about my attitude that if

I wanted to have a bad day I could

certainly have one but if I wanted to

have a good

day I could have a good day last I’ll

say a few things that I said last night

in case you weren’t here but not too

many trouble is a

promise but misery is an option that’s

right

spiritual

maturity is only seen by how we handle

ourselves when we’re having

problems how many of you want to be

spiritually

mature want to be transformed into the

image of Jesus

Christ that’s that should be our goal

every Christian you’re we’re not here

just for God to give us everything we

want give us a nice cushy life we’re

here to serve him and every day I

encourage you to ask God what can I do

for you today not just this is what I

need you to do for me to keep me happy

but what can I do for you today the

cross that we’re to Bear take up your

cross and follow me Mark 8 is to live an

unselfish life that means we don’t have

ourselves on our mind all the time but

we actually make ourselves available to

God for his use we we think that getting

what we want is going to make us happy

but I can tell you it won’t getting does

not produce Joy giving is what produces

Joy getting may make you happy for a

little bit but then you’re going to need

to get something else to keep that going

then you’re going to need to get

something else then you’re going to need

to get something else things have no

ability to keep us happy matter of fact

the Bible says that one of the ways that

people are deceived is through riches

through thinking that if I can just get

a bigger house if I can just have more

money if I can just have this if I can

just have that and I can tell you things

have no ability to keep you happy not

that we don’t want nice things but God

wants us to want him first yes and if we

keep him first the bible promises us

that he will add the things delight

yourself in the Lord and He will give

you the desires of your heart it’s

better than trying to get them for

yourself amen and

so I knew

that I know what to do when I start

to even remotely feel sorry for

myself the Bible tells us what to do be

thankful start thanking God for

everything you can think of that’s a

blessing in your life every person in

here no matter what kind of problem you

have you have more blessings than you

have

problems come on you have more

blessings then you have problems but

what we do and it’s Satan’s plan he

wants us to focus on the

problem and forget about the

blessings the Bible says looking away

from all that will distract unto Jesus

who is the author and the finisher of

our faith so we don’t need to be staring

all the time at our problems we need to

pray about them give them to God cast

our Care on him and go ahead and be a

blessing to other people I said go ahead

and be a blessing to other

people see I I don’t

know you personally I only know you

through my relationship with teaching

you and and coming seeing you in some of

these conferences but I just wonder I

have to wonder how many of you are

actually doing something purposely to

make somebody else’s life

better or are we just looking at people

saying what can you do for me what do

you think would happen to

marriages 50% of Christians are getting

divorces now not just the world but

Christians and you know don’t Stone me

when I say this but the Bible only gives

one

valid reason to divorce now of course

God doesn’t want to see anybody abused

or you know there’s issues sometimes

that you can’t get away from but you you

can’t just divorce somebody

because they’re hard to get along

with where incompatibility I love that

one who is compatible there’s no two

people that are compatible unless

you are willing to adapt and adjust but

what would I think we get married with

the idea okay you’re going to make me

happy and then as soon as that doesn’t

happen we get mad at them and start

trying to change them what would happen

if we got married and from the very

get-go we said God I want to make this

person happy that you put in my life

what if you focused on making the other

person happy

you know what would happen then God

would make you

happy hallah see if we do what God tells

us to then he’ll give us the desires of

our heart so I’m going to say it and say

it and say it and say it today we

overcome evil with good Romans

12:21 and I tell you what I had a huge

giant mess in my

life when God Touched Me In

1976 I was born again when I was 9 years

old but

it doesn’t matter how born again you are

if you don’t know

anything if you don’t know the word and

if you don’t put it to practice in your

life then nothing is going to

change you can be saved and

miserable you can be a miserable sinner

or you can be a miserable

Saint and it’s usually because of a lack

of knowledge and not trying to pick on

any particular denomination but let me

just say that there are many churches

who teach people a lot of good sound

solid Doctrine but they don’t teach them

anything about who they are in Christ

and you need to know who you are in

Christ what he’s done for you what

belongs to you what Jesus bought and

paid for and that you’re a join a with

him and you need to start living the

life that he intends you to

live the thief comes only to kill steal

and destroy but Jesus said I came that

you might have and enjoy your

life not just get up every day and

breathe but enjoy your life and you

you’re like well if I could just get rid

of these problems and I could enjoy my

life ehuh no you got to learn how to

enjoy your life in the middle of the

problems so let me say it again if you

want to be spiritually mature which is

really awesome because when you are

spiritually mature all the things that

bug you and make you unhappy now won’t

bother you at all

am because you trust God enough to know

that he’s going to take care of it and

in the end it’s all going to work out

all right so you don’t bother wasting 3

months worrying about it you just trust

God to take care of it and you stay busy

being a blessing to somebody

else you stay busy being a blessing to

somebody else well I don’t feel like

that I’ve got problems of my

own I remember a story about a man whose

son had cancer and this man was in

Ministry and of course he was praying

for his son to be healed and turned out

that the boy died and he got mad at God

and said where were you when my son died

and God answered him back said the same

place I was when mine

died amen amen but we don’t need to feel

sorry for

ourselves a positive attitude is a key

ingredient to a good

life so we’re going to talk about some

attitude adjustments today and the first

one I want to talk about is just having

a positive attitude let’s learn how to

play the Glad

game you know like Pana learn how to

play the Glad game find something just

make the devil mad and find something

good in everything coming over here this

morning our rented vehicle stopped four

times just went

off and I thought I do not want to walk

to the church

please get me there so thank God we got

here and now the car is being exchanged

but instead of being upset that we had a

problem with the car I can be glad that

we did get

here and now it’s

being taken care of

you know maybe you had to go have uh an

ultrasound and an MRI and an x-ray and

you had to get some physical therapy but

you could thank God that you work at a

place where they provide you with good

[Applause]

insurance maybe all of you don’t have

that but you know our ministry we still

give our

employees full insurance benefits I I

believe in treating people that work for

me the way that I would want to be

treated if I was working for somebody

that’s why we have so many people that

have been with us 20 and 25 and 30 years

matter of fact I’ll tell you something

that I’m happy about our ministry was

voted the best nonprofit to work for in

the

midwest

amen I’m a good

boss you might say well you know I just

I’m one of those people I just I can’t

help it I just tend toward being

negative well when I ended last night I

said you know I’d like to control

everybody in the world but I don’t get

to just because I want

to and you don’t get to be negative just

because that’s kind of your natural bent

you can

choose to have a positive

attitude and I’ll tell you

just if you just heard me say that and

you went home and you put it to practice

it would be well worth whatever it took

for you to get here you cannot be

negative and be happy and enjoy your

life our attitude is connected to our

thinking an

attitude is really just the posture you

take toward life how am I going to look

at my life how am I going to look at the

things that happened to me you know I

prayed for many years like most of us do

for my problems to go away so I could be

happy make this go away so I can be

happy I wasted few years thinking like

that and I finally realized that God

wasn’t going to change my problems if

anything things could get worse because

of the way things are going in the world

but it was me he wanted to change

amen good one person agrees with

that okay could anybody in here possibly

think that

maybe just

maybe probably not but

maybe you’re the

problem we want to help you strengthen

your trust in the Lord So today we’re

offering two of Joy’s books which are
