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, The Book of Ephesians.

When we look at the book of Ephesians, Paul's words are foundational for every believer.

They help us to understand who we are in Christ, how much he loves us, and how we can grow a stronger,

more intimate relationship with God.

So today, let's go deeper in God's word.

Listen as Joyce walks through Ephesians chapter by chapter, showing us how we can apply its

truths to our lives.

Now, here's Joyce with today's series on the Book of Ephesians.

Here's what Paul says.

This is so good.

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord.

In other words, you're not going to do any of this if you don't stay strong in the Lord.

Be empowered to your union with him.

Draw your strength from him, that strength which his boundless might provides.

Let me tell you something.

It is so super foolish to get out of bed and just try to behave.

Let me tell you something. I can lay in bed and make all my plans for holiness.

And they last until I put my feet on the floor and that's the end of it.

So even though your heart is right or my heart is right, you still have to have a boatload

of help from God, and you have to have it every single day of your life.

I mean, I'm sure sometimes I sound like I've got something wrong with me.
