Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce

Meyer. On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series How to Survive

Change. We all experience change and sometimes it can be difficult to navigate.

But the key to transformation begins with our thoughts. What we think and determine

whether we face change quickly or at last longer than it has to. And we don't

have to survive change on our own. Joyce reminds us that when we choose to trust God,

we'll see he is with us every step of the transforming journey. Now here's Joyce

with today's teaching. I'm going to talk to you this weekend about transformation.

Not being translated. Because translated means I'm here and then suddenly I'm there.

It's just like, you know, Enoch was translated into heaven and the Bible says,

and he was not for God took him. So make sure when you see the word transformation

in the Bible that you don't think it's talking about like this miraculous, just like,

whish your one thing and then whish your something else. Transformed means change

entirely from the inside out. God comes and he does a wonderful thing in us by his grace.

And then the Bible says, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Now that

doesn't mean work for your salvation. That's already been taken care of. You cannot earn

salvation. I don't care how many good works you do. How good you try to be. How long

you pray? How much you know you can never earn salvation. So we are all equal on that footing.

Nobody's too bad. Nobody's good enough. We all have to come through the same way the door,

which is Christ Jesus and Him alone. But so many people stop there and they don't work with

the Holy Spirit who has given to us after the new birth. The Holy Spirit comes to live in us

when we receive Christ and it's His work them to work with us to work what's in us as a free gift
