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, developing the character of God.

To grow spiritually is a process. We need to consistently read and study the Bible so the Lord can change us from the inside out.

Slowly but surely will become more like

Jesus and reflect his character in our lives. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

How many of you say bad things about yourself out of your own mouth? I'm so stupid. I just can't do

anything right. That is one of the worst things that you can possibly do.

There's a scripture in Titus that I just, I mean, I'm sure I've read it hundreds of times,

but you know, that's how the Bible is.

You can read it and read it and read it, and then one day you see it.

And it says that we are to acknowledge

every good thing that is in us in Christ.

Wow.

Acknowledge every good thing that's in you in Christ.

So that means you should be saying,

I'm a child of God, I've been made right with him through the blood of Christ.

God loves me.

I'm not where I need to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be, but thank God, I'm not where I used to be.

You just have no idea how awesome you are.

I mean, really, I'm just not trying to puff you up.

God lives in you.

I mean, how much better can it get than that?
