This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

The devil just can't stand it if you tell people that God wants to bless them.

The devil wants you to have nothing so you cannot give anything.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

You want to be happy and you want to be content? How many of you do?

Okay. You can't do it with one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom.

You can't do it hiding a bunch of stuff and not dealing with it.

You've got to get on God's program because he's not going to get on yours.

Contentment is a result of righteousness, right standing with God.

And yes, the Bible says that we are made right with God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

He gives us righteousness but then we're supposed to work with the Holy Spirit to work that out of us and turn it into right behavior.

We're made right with God but our behavior has to catch up with that.

God gives us everything that we need, his seed of everything we need on the inside of us to be everything he's asked us to be.

He wouldn't ask us to do right if he didn't give us righteousness.

This contentment means to be unhappy, not satisfied or to have a sense of resentment.

And listen to this. This contented people resent people who have what they want.

And many times we'll get judgment or well they don't need a house that big.

Well, you shouldn't spend money on you don't need a swim and pool.

You don't need to drive a car like that.

I've never had anybody be jealous of anything I have if they have one too.

Come on.

Now, there's a little something in the Bible called greed.
