Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series enjoying successful relationships.

God wants to bless us, but we must get along.

Because where there is unity, there is blessing and anointing.

So it's our job to learn how to set aside our own agenda and serve one another through love.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Ephesians 210, now look at this, for we are God's own handiwork, his workmanship, recreated in Christ Jesus,

born anew that we may do those good works,

why did God recreate us? For good works. Things that he predestined and planned ahead of time for us,

taking paths that he prepared ahead of time. Now watch this, that we should walk in them living the good life.

Well you know what I think that we leave out the good works and just want to skip on to the good life.

Everybody loves messages about the good life.

I could probably double my crowds if I would just preach about the good life and not jump all over people.

I used to get upset because God didn't give me a dessert ministry. I wanted to be one of the people that just flew into town and had a private word for everybody and called everybody up, prophesy to them, lay everybody

out in the floor, grow out legs and do whatever and leave town.

Not me, I got to go in and tell everybody off. I got a But then I finally got it.

People can't live on dessert.

It tastes good, but you'll die on it.

We are recreated in Christ, born anew that we may do those good works which he planned ahead of time for us then living the good life which he

prearranged and made ready. We are blessed to be a blessing and the more we are

a blessing the more blessed we will be.

Make sure though when you do good works.
