Ministries. I can't help it. It's just too hard. But, but, but, but. Excuse me, but you need to get ready to your butt.

Hello and welcome to today's program. I'm so glad you're here. Today I'm teaching about how you can keep peace in your life. But before we start, I want to invite you to join me for a very special love life girls night in online event on January the 27th.

We'll have live worship with Brian and Katie Torwalt. I'll be sharing two messages from my new book about how to overcome anxiety. And we'll have a live talk it out podcast with our special guest love McPherson.

We are going to start this new year off right. Go to Joyce Meyer dot org slash live stream and register today. Mark your calendars for January 27th to stream girls night in.

I don't want to miss it. And I don't want you to miss it. Now, here's today's message.

There's anything that the devil works at really hard. It's trying to keep us upset. Make you mad. Get you mad at somebody. Get you frustrated. Get you to worry. Jesus said in John 1427.

My peace. I leave with you. I give it to you. I bequeathed to you. One translations.

Not as the world gives do I give to you. But my own special peace. See the world can be at peace when all of it circumstances.

But we can be at peace when nothing is going right in our life because we have a helper.

We have somebody that we can ask to take those problems and work them out for us. And I'm going to tell you a secret you may not know this.

But you have permission to enjoy your life while you have a problem. And a lot of people don't know that they think they're obligated to worry about their problems.

But what you're supposed to do is cast your care on God and trust that he's taking care of your problem. And go ahead and live the life that Jesus paid such a terrible price for us to have.

My peace I leave with you. Not as the world gives do I give unto you. But my own special peace I now give unto you. But then in the amplified Bible, the classic version, it says this.

So stop allowing yourselves to be upset and disturbed. Stop allowing yourselves to be fearful and intimidated.

So Jesus has done his part. Now we need to do our part. You say, well, I can't help it. Well, that's one excuse you need to throw away tonight.

I don't know if it is just too hard but but but but. Excuse me, but you need to get rid of your butt. Amen.

All the time we're like, well, I know I should do this, but I know I shouldn't do this, but I know I shouldn't say this, but.

We need to just stop all that because nothing that God tells us to do is too hard for us to do. We just have to really, really want to.

How many of you really are serious about your relationship with God? I mean, I hope so because if you're not, you might as well go ahead and leave now.

Because I don't go out and do this just because I'm looking for something to do. I really want to see people have what Jesus died for us to have.

I want you to know who you are in Christ, have confidence, be bold, be strong, enjoy your life and have the things that Jesus died for you to have.
