This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Now feelings are real and we don't need to deny that we have them,

but we do need to deny them the right to manipulate us and control us.

I do what I do because I've seen God's power transform my own life

and He will do it for you.

The key to everything is found in God's Word.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Watch Manee, who's a great Christian writer, said that emotions are the believer's number one enemy.

They keep people walking in the flesh.

They keep people out of the will of God.

I think it's just good to take a little time this afternoon,

just to remember how easily we're led around by our feelings.

Do you know how much we tell other people what we think, what we want, and how we feel?

Well, Joyce, will you pray for me? I feel like God doesn't love me.

Well, Joyce, will you pray for me? I don't feel like God hears my prayers.

Well, Joyce, will you pray for me? I just don't feel like that I can go on.

You listen to how often people tell you how they feel.

Now, feelings are real and we don't need to deny that we have them,

but we do need to deny them the right to manipulate us and control us.

Is there anybody here today who believes that if you would control your emotions a little bit more

and not let them control you as much that your life would get a whole lot better?

Amen.
