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, burnt, but not bitter. When we hold

on to feelings like rejection, betrayal, and disappointment, they can make us feel bitter and focused

on the people who have hurt us. If we aren't careful, we can get stuck in our pain,

unable to move forward and robbed of the freedom that comes through forgiveness.

Today, Joyce wants to show us how, with God's help,

we can choose a lifestyle of forgiveness and trust him to work out our hurt for his good.

Now here's Joyce with today's series, Burt, but not bitter.

If you think the world is going to be won by a handful of preachers on a platform or a few people on television,

you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Because most of the people that need Jesus are not coming to church and they're not watching Christian TV.

Unless for some reason their television gets stuck on it and they can't get it off. And I did have one guy tell me that.

He said, scared the living daylights out of me.

He said he was high on dope and it was the middle of the night and he turned the television on and I came on and he didn't want to listen to me so he tried to change the channel and it wouldn't change.

He said the only button on my TV that worked was the one to turn the volume up.

He went and got new batteries, put new batteries in. Still same thing. Could not get rid of me.

As soon as my program was over, the remote started working again.

He said he hit his knees, started repenting, and got saved.

But most of the people that need Christ are working around you at work.

They're in your neighborhoods.

They're in the stores that you go to.

And every single believer is called of God.

Yes, to be happy and enjoy life, but to do something way beyond that.
