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.

Okay, you see that sign there? There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything.

Which way we go is up to us. The Bible tells us in the Old Testament that the day

will come, one of the prophets said, the day will come when evil will be considered good and good

will be considered evil. And that day is on us right now. I'll be honest with you.

I don't know how long we have before Jesus comes back.

I don't think it'll be very long, but Paul thought that in his day, so I can't say.

But I do know one thing we need to stay ready.

The Bible says to watch and pray and to be ready.

We don't have time to get ready after the trumpet blows.

We have to stay ready.

Now, if there was ever a time in history when you wanted to be serious about your

relationship with God, this is the time.

No more fooling around. no more hypocritical nonsense.

It's time for us to learn to do things the right way.

When we go the wrong way, we get lost.

And there's a lot of lost people in the world that are lost

because they've done the wrong thing all their life.
