I’m Joyce Meyer and I believe that God
can heal you everywhere you
[Music]
hurt the main way the enemy speaks to us
is by putting thoughts in our
mind that’s why we definitely need to
know the word because if you don’t know
the word you won’t recognize the lies of
Satan
[Applause]
amen when you know the word
let’s say you’ve done something wrong
and you’ve prayed you’ve admitted it
you’ve confessed it before God you’ve
asked to be
forgiven and then tomorrow you still
feel
guilty if you really know the word
you’ll know that that’s the devil trying
to make you feel guilty because if the
sin’s been forgiven then there can’t be
any guilt attached to
it but if you don’t know the word then
you can just waste
most of your time feeling guilty about
stuff that God’s already
forgotten
amen I don’t I don’t mess with that
anymore I spent years feeling guilty I
didn’t feel good if I didn’t feel
bad when I first started experiencing
peace I was
bored I was I
thought
young you know you can get addicted to
being
upset being
tense if you so the devil said to him if
you are the Son of God so the first
thing he does is attack his
identity who Do You Think You Are
order this Stone to turn into a loaf of
bread so what was the Temptation here
one he attacked his identity and two he
tried to get him to move independently
of
God if you’re
hungry just tell that stone to become
bread but that’s that’s not what God had
told him to
do we need to follow the leadership of
God and not let the devil move us in the
flesh to just do what we want to do when
we want to do
it even sometimes when
there’s we could do something to get out
of
something but maybe inside we sense no
God wants wants me to stay even though
this is a hard place God wants me to
stay here he he doesn’t want me to run
from
this and you know when Jesus was in the
garden one of the
soldiers Peter got his sword whacked off
his
ear Jesus picked his ear up and put it
back on his
head and he said to Peter don’t you know
that if I wanted to I could call 12
Legions of angels 72,000 angels He said
I don’t have to do this but if I do that
the will of God won’t be
done so there’s times when I don’t have
to put up with
something
hello there are times when you don’t
have to put up with something you can
say I’m putting up with
you but is that what God
wants come on I said is that what God
wants
is that going to be the best for your
children it’s so easy to
run but David stood and confronted
Goliath and Jesus went into that
Wilderness and he confronted the
devil and we don’t have to be afraid of
the enemy because God’s given us power
over him but wait a minute before you
clap and cheer if you’re going to stay
mad at
people it you might as don’t shout about
your power because you just you threw it
away this is why you we have so much
available to us us Jesus has provided
for
everything but it’s
time there’s one big word I want to give
you
tonight full
[Applause]
surrender come on I
mean don’t look at me like a little
dough at a new G you know full
surrender what do you have going on in
your life that you know full well is
against the word of God but you
just won’t give it
up CU you say well I’ll probably go to
heaven anyway well you may but you may
have a miserable
trip I don’t know about you but I want
to enjoy the
journey
amen and not only
that I love
God and and if we love him we should
obey
him you know we we think about Eve
and she was
deceived by the lies of
Satan in the
garden and by the way the devil has an
speci special hate for
women and that’s proven all throughout
history and
that’s because
he he was told in the
garden that a woman would bruise his
head by giving birth to the
Savior so he don’t like us and I bet
he’s especially mad now that women are
really rising up and being used by
God woo
[Applause]
but you know Eve Eve wasn’t deceived
because
she was evil or bad you know why she was
deceived because she loved God so
much that when Satan said to her if you
eat this you’ll be like
God well she wanted that was she wanted
to be more like God she loved him
so she did what God had told her not to
do but the intent of her heart do you
know that most of the people that get
really weird and off into a spirit of
error are people who really love
God and the devil takes advantage of
that and he starts telling them stuff
that’s really not
scriptural and they start doing
it and get into
trouble that’s right I don’t I don’t
care if you’re quiet all
night then the devil like okay verse
whatever it
is the next one five then the devil took
him up on a high mountain and showed him
all the kingdoms of the habitable World
in a moment of time in the twinkling of
an eye and he said to him to you I will
give all of this power and authority and
their Glory all of their magnificence
their Excellence their preeminence their
dignity and their
because it has been turned over to me
and I give it to whomsoever I
will well how to get turned over to him
in the
garden Adam gave the power that God had
given
him to the
enemy and if you read that and
understand it don’t think for one minute
that the devil can’t make a wicked man
Rich Prosperity is no sign of spiritual
[Applause]
maturity
amen the devil can give people
stuff but he can’t make you
happy he can’t give you peace he can’t
give you
Joy you know your life is like a blip
y on gravestones let’s say I live to be
100 I was born in 1943 so let’s say it
says here lies Joyce
Meer born 1943 died 2043 dashed died
2043 the only thing that really matters
is what happened in the
dash and so I want to ask you what are
you doing with your
[Applause]
dash and that’s it’s about I mean I
can’t believe that I’m 80 I can’t
believe that I look back at my life and
I think I’ve given birth to four kids
I’ve had a miscarriage I’ve had 12
grandchildren I’ve preached all over the
world I made 67 mission trips out of the
country been married today for 57
years just I’m like
and I don’t know how much is left of my
Dash but I know what I’m going to do
with it
amen come on I I want you to wake up
tonight if you’re living in some kind of
sin and you know that you are you know
that what you’re doing is
wrong get it straightened out before
your dash is
over because eternity is a long long how
long is forever
wow is it worth staying mad at
somebody is it worth it of course
not so I think that’s interesting to see
that the devil can give people
stuff and then I love this in verse 7
therefore the devil says if you will do
homage to and worship me just
once if will all be yours the Just One
S just just one time it won’t hurt it
won’t hurt just this one
time everybody else does
it well you ain’t everybody
[Music]
else we’re supposed to be
separated
Sanctified means set apart for God’s
use holy and set apart for God’s use
this is my glass right
here I’m supposed to be the only one
that uses it this is set apart for
me for these little lips right
here this is my Kleenex
box that needs to be shined
up you understand what I mean you belong
to
God you are not your own you were bought
with a price the precious blood of Jesus
Christ you don’t get to just do whatever
you want to do whenever you want to do
it I mean you can if you want to but you
will pay a price for
it
and many of you are paying a
price well Jesus had his stuff together
he replied to Satan and said get behind
me
Satan hit the
road it is written you shall do homage
to and Worship the Lord your God and him
only shall you serve then he took him to
Jerusalem set him on a Gable of the
temple and said if you are the Son of
God cast yourself down from here because
he will give his angels charge over you
and they’ll he he can even quote
scripture the devil knows the Bible he
can quote
scripture and Jesus replied you shall
not tempt test or try the Lord your God
and I love this part when the devil had
ended the complete cycle of Temptation
he temper temporarily left him to wait
for a more opportune
time so guess what truth be told he’s
never going to completely leave you
alone I know that’s not very good news
but the Bible says you got to fight the
good fight of
Faith remember we’re just in the
dash
it won’t so what if you never get what
you want it won’t last that long and the
day will come when you’ll have
everything you could have possibly ever
[Applause]
wanted you can put up with a little
something now if you have
to the thing that the devil loves more
than anything is a passive
Christian somebody who
just well God will protect me
well we work in tandem with God we work
in partnership with
God I bought this book and read it and I
don’t call my office Monday and ask what
the name of this book was if you want to
know you write it down now power
lines power
lines by Leona Choy c h o
y and this is what great evangelicals
believed about the Holy Spirit from 1850
to
1930 that interested me because there’s
so many different opinions and
theories about all this there’s 24
different Great Men of
God that talk in here about what they
believe about the Holy Spirit the gifts
of the Spirit being filled with the
spirit baptized in the Holy Spirit
and shocking I know but they don’t all
agree there’s probably at least eight
different very strong and reasonable
sounding
opinions some say
that when you’re born again you
receive the fullness of the Holy
Spirit some say it’s a second blessing
that you get later after you’re born
again
I’ve always said when you’re born again
you have the Holy Spirit I don’t think
that’s the problem the problem is does
the Holy Spirit have
you and after reading all this and I’ve
come to the
conclusion at this point could change my
mind later you know we do change our
mind the more we
learn that I believe when you’re born
again you do receive the full power of
the holy spirit because you you know if
you get the Holy Spirit you don’t I mean
you get the Holy Spirit he doesn’t come
in
slices
but until you’re ready to yield or
Surrender come on we’re going
somewhere until you’re ready to
surrender
see if you look
in on the day of Pentecost
when the spirit was poured
out it says and when the day Acts 2 1-4
when the day of Pentecost had fully come
they were all together in one place when
suddenly there came a sound from heaven
like the rushing of a violent Tempest
blast and it filled the whole house in
which they were sitting and there
appeared to them tongues resembling fire
which was separated and sett on each one
of them and they were all filled
diffused throughout their souls now I
want you to see that diffused throughout
their
souls you have if you’re born again you
have the Holy Spirit in your
spirit but when you
are if you want to be filled with the
Holy Spirit you have to let him have
control of your soul and that’s your
mind your will and your emotions you you
have to let him fill you completely not
just keep him kind of off in this one
little room that you go to when you have
an emergency we live an emergency
and I look back at my own life and I say
I was baptized in the Holy Spirit when I
in
1976 there was a move of God going on
basically all over the Earth thousands
and thousands of people were being
baptized in the Holy Spirit but if I
really want to be doctrinally correct
which believe it or not I do try to
be uh
I had the Holy
Spirit and I don’t think I just had a
little bit of the Holy Spirit but the
Holy Spirit only had a little bit of
me and so half of these guys say what
I’m saying now that you receive the
fullness of the Holy Spirit
but you can lose some of that you don’t
the holy Spirit never leaves you he’s
there to abide but you can lose the full
power of the Holy Spirit by living the
wrong
way so I’m asking you to make a decision
tonight do you what’s more important to
you to do what you want to do when you
want to do it to say what you want to
say when you want to say it to think
what you want to think when you want to
think
it to watch stuff that you know you
shouldn’t be watching listen to stuff
you know you shouldn’t be listening
to gossip and laugh at dirty jokes and
what you know whatever you
whatever or do you want to have the full
power of the Holy Ghost in your
life
I’m going to tell you something and I
sure don’t mean this to sound anyway but
just I’m trying to tell you the
truth I believe that I carry an
anointing on my
life that’s the only thing that helps
people it’s not my great speaking
ability it’s God’s
anointing but I pay a price to keep
that and I spend a lot of time by
myself
cuz sometime you just you just can’t get
involved in all of
it you know it’s
just I mean the devil will get
you how easy is it to start gossiping
about people when you sit with other
people all the time who
gossip how easy is it to start murmuring
and grumbling and complaining about
every little inconvenience if all you
hang out with is other grumblers and
murmurers
come
on how easy is it to compromise just a
little if all you hang out with is
people who always compromise just a
little and I’ve got some good Godly
friends but I like to hang out with
positive people I like to hang out with
generous people because I’m a
giver come
[Applause]
on which do you
want do you want this
temporary
self-will or would you be willing to
walk away from
anything I’m calling people to decision
tonight would you be willing to walk
away from
anything if God put his finger on it and
said you know that that’s
wrong would you be willing to walk away
from all your friends if God showed you
they were all poisoning your life and
keeping you from
[Applause]
God in order to have the full power of
the holy spirit in your life I have got
to have all of God I cannot do with any
less I cannot do with any
[Applause]
less and we need the gifts of the Holy
Ghost and some of them say they left
with the early church and some of them
say they didn’t you know what I think
people do I think people make a Doctrine
out of their own
experience however they got something
that’s how everybody’s supposed to get
it or if they didn’t get it at all then
nobody’s supposed to have it you know
the holy spirit is like the wind you
don’t know where it’s coming or where
it’s going but you sure know when it’s
been
there
and the Holy Spirit does different
things in different ways in different
people’s
lives and we got to just let him have
his
way you say well what about this
speaking in tongues thing well okay what
about
it people have fought more over
that and it’s the last gift on the
list and whole denominations have split
and parted ways over that well I speak
in tongues but if you don’t want to I
can love you
[Applause]
anyway you know some of them say God
doesn’t give everybody that
gifts let me tell you
something I know some Christians that
are meaner than snakes that speak in
tongues and I know some people that I
believe are Godly and full of the Holy
Ghost that don’t speak in
tongues
so get off
it I mean just get off
it I mean I want everything God will
give me so I begged him to give
me I opened my mouth I tried I I did
everything
in
cuz if anybody can have anything I want
it I’m a spiritual
[Applause]
hog you know you know what’s getting
most
people they want to be religiously
respectable and it’s our deadly
respectability that’s keeping the
power out of the
[Applause]
