Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series ways to increase your happiness.

We all want to know how we can be happier in life, but unfortunately we also have an enemy who

tries to steal our happiness and joy any way possible, like reminding us of our past hurts or current difficulties.

But there's hope.

Jesus came so we can enjoy a full life in Him.

In today's teaching, Joyce helps us discover how we can experience God's peace

and be filled with his joy no matter what's happening around us.

Now here's Joyce with the series,

Ways to Increase Your Happiness.

I want to teach you about ways that you can increase your happiness.

You know, just in thinking about it, what do people really want?

I think the bottom line of what everybody really wants,

if you can just put it into a sentence,

is we all just, we want to be happy.

We want to be at peace too, but we want to be happy.

And there are things that we can do

that will increase that happiness,

and there's things that we can do

that will prohibit that happiness. I know we like to always blame anything negative in our life on somebody else, but in this instance,

we want to talk about things that we can do, of course, with God's help, but things that

we can do that will increase our happiness.
