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.

He that knew no sin, that's Jesus, became a sin.

He took all of our sins upon himself.

He that knew no sin became sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

So God sees you, he views you, one translation says, as being right with him because he sees

you through Christ.

I don't even know how to tell you how long it took me to go over that and over it and over it and over it

until it became a revelation in my life. You see, I don't believe we just need information. I think we need

revelation. Things need to become very real to us. It needs to be something that nobody can take away from us. And I know that I do

wrong things, and I know that you do wrong things. We all make mistakes and do wrong things,

but God still views us as right with him because he sees our heart. God is a God who sees our heart.

He doesn't just see what we do, but he sees our heart. God is a God who sees our heart. He doesn't just see what we do, but he sees our heart.

Isaiah 61.10 says, I delight greatly in the Lord.

My soul rejoices in my God.
