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, Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Our relationships are such an important part of our lives. We prefer all our relationships to be positive,

but what about those who bring us stress or just kind of get on our nerves?

How can we be in a relationship with them?

Thankfully, God's Word is filled with the answers we need to have healthy relationships,

no matter how those around us behave.

Today, Joyce will share some of the ways we can all work toward having more joy and peace with everyone in our lives. Now here's Joyce with the series Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Verse 14 through 16, and when Jesus went into Peter's house, he saw,

open your eyes and look at what's going on around you.

He saw his mother-in-law lying ill with fever and he touched

her hand. The fever left her and she got up, began to serve. When evening came, they brought

to him many who were under the power of demons and he drove out the spirits with a word

and restored to health all that were sick. And this just goes on and on and on and on.

I've got verse after verse after verse.

So, Jesus was definitely interruptible.

We certainly need to stay focused and know what God's called us to do and not let people just use us and interrupt us for silly stuff,

but we need to be available to God.

How many of you will pray every morning, God? What can I do for you today? Now, don't you

do that unless you mean it, because he's going to give you something to do. I'm giving you a way

to get over being a bored Christian.

Same old, same all, go to church, go home, go to church, go home, do the seminar, buy the t-shirt, happy clapy to the music, go to church, go home, go to church, go home.
