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 on the Book of Ephesians.

Are you ready to go deeper in your relationship with God?

The book of Ephesians is foundational for every believer to understand their identity as a follower of Christ.

Join Joyce today as she teaches from

Ephesians chapter by chapter, helping reveal to us who we are in Christ and just how much he loves us.

Now here's Joyce with today's series on Ephesians. God always has a long-range plan for his people,

and God has got a long-range plan for his people. And God has got a long-range plan for you.

I want you to know that.

And what's going on in your life right now

is a far cry from what will be happening

next year, the year after, the year after, the year after.

No matter how good things are, they can get better.

And no matter how bad they are, they can get better. So God only has one thing in his mind for

your future, and that's better. Amen? And I want you to know that. He says, I know the

thoughts and plans I have for you, thoughts and plans for your welfare.

So, now God had a great plan for his man from the beginning.

I mean, if you go back and read Genesis 1, he had a great plan for Adam and Eve.

It was like, hey, here's this beautiful place.

Here's all this.

Eat all the fruit you want.

Enjoy yourself.
