Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer. On today's

program, Joyce will be teaching us how we can embrace courage and face our fears. Fear, it's everywhere

and affects all of us. Fear is the enemy's favorite tool to keep us from pursuing God's good

plan for our life. The enemy wants fear to rule

our lives, but it doesn't have to. When we open our hearts to God and embrace courage, we can face

fear head on and do it afraid. Listen as Joyce helps discover a life of freedom by recognizing, confronting,

and conquering our fears today.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

You would be surprised what you're capable of if you would just step out and find out what God can do through you.

You're never going to find out if you're right,

if you're not willing to be wrong come on i want

somebody to hear that you're never going to find out if you're right if you're not willing to be

wrong and it won't be the end of the world if you step out and try something that you feel like you

want to do or that god wants you to do and it just doesn't work and you have to step back and say, well, I made a mistake.

But at least that's something you can cross off your list and say, well, I know now that's not what I'm supposed to do.

And I believe there are people watching right now that you really need to hear what I'm saying

because you are not happy with your life, but it's because you're not taking any steps of faith.

You don't have any adventure because you live too much in fear.

Your new attitude toward life has to be, I will not fear. Your new attitude toward life has to be, I will not fear. I didn't say you wouldn't feel

fear, but you're not going to give end to fear because God is with you. Joseph waited 14 years.

God gave him a dream, and I mean from there, things got bad. You ever feel

like God spoke to you? And then it's just nothing but one problem after another after another.
