partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Hello, welcome to and join everyday life. We are glad that you've joined us. And today with God, you have what it takes to face the day. It is true. And we are continuing our topic from yesterday. As Joyce and our talking out friends, continue discussing the struggles that we all face at times.

Feeling confident how we can encourage one another and how we can find our worth through God's word and his love for us. So let's jump into the conclusion of today's discussion. Are you really enough?

I just recently had to do a concert with someone that she actually won one of those big like contest. Cool. Like one of the TV ones. Yes.

And she is such an amazing vocalist. Like she is very technical. She does all the right notes. And I know for me, I'm not like that. Like when I sing like I sing from a soul. I come from a gospel background. I just sing from heart. You know, and I just let it out. You know. And but all the way up until it's almost time for me to go on stage with her. I was like heart was like.

And I just felt so little I'm like. I'm not as technical as her. I don't think like her. I don't know. These are all the words I heard in my head. And I felt so small. And finally I stepped myself out. I went in the hallway. And I was like, breathe. I can do this. God is giving me all. You know, God is giving me this gift. I wouldn't get being offered this opportunity. If I wasn't prepared, like I prepared for this. Like, you know, I am more than a conqueror. I was just talking, talking, talking. And then finally, and honestly, guys, this is how crazy it was. Like saying so ugly. Okay, stay here. Like.

In the hallway, like really like a firm and he's speaking the word over me. And I hear the song that I'm supposed to be up there thinking. Like,

I was like, okay, that's a song. And I was like, what do I do? I panic. Just go. So I'm talking to myself. This is how fast I'm talking to myself. Just go. So I'm feeling, but honestly, that little jolt of like, I don't know what it was. It was Holy Spirit to allow me to step away and like just be human for a moment. And I ran in. And I was just like, so sorry. You know, like you made a big.

I really did. I really did. But it honestly called me down a little bit because it pushed me out of my head and out of what's saying was saying. And honestly, I just went up there and I had a good time. And I did my best, but I had so much fun because I allowed myself to not be so stressed about how good she was. I'm like, God, I'm good too. Like you gave me this gift. And honestly, afterwards everybody's just like, oh my, like the energy in the room, like went up because I let go.

But we have to be okay. Not being like everybody else. You know, like she was more technical. Her notes were perfect. Every note was spot on. But what I have and who I am and my personality, it connected with who I was supposed to connect with. So there isn't comparison.

A huge part of all this makes us feel so insignificant because we're looking at who everybody else is instead of what God is doing in our life.

Do you know how I could be so messed up being on stage with Joyce Meyer at every conference? Oh, really messed up. Oh, my and what would I. Oh, my.

What I love to say is that when I am done every time I get a standing ovation when I'm finished, it's because I introduce Joyce.

And they're coming for you. Thank you. Here's Joyce. I have a good story that I think everybody can relate to. You know, I had believed God to do speaking engagements like forever from the time God called me.

Of course, I was just doing little like home Bible studies and things like that. And one of the first invitations I got to go to something that I would consider big was really was kind of a fluke because the speaker canceled at the last minute.

And somebody that knew somebody that knew somebody was pretty far down the line knew me and they were kind of desperate for a speaker. So.

They invited me now I wasn't one of the main speakers. I was a workshop speaker and so all the speakers were sitting on the front row.

And I'll never forget it. There was Reverend so and so and doctor so and so and.

Profit is so and so and bishop so and so and Joyce from fattening. Well, they wanted the workshop speakers to get up.

And talk about what their workshop was going to be about the next day so people can kind of decide where they wanted to go.

And you all know I'm pretty bold, but I got up there and I was so scared because I felt so insignificant after they had introduced all these bishop, doctor, prophetess, Reverend and Joyce that I just thought, oh my God, the devil was screaming in my ear.
