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. Matthew 5.9,

blessed enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous with life, joy, and

satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions. Come on,

he's saying, look, you can be happy no matter what your outward conditions are. If you'll be a maker

and a maintainer of peace, you work for peace peace peace is not going to fall on us like ripe fruit falling off a tree

if you want to get along with people you're going to have to do it on purpose

I got one brother out here that's in agreement with me.

You're fun to preach to.

I'll just give you a few hints.

You don't always have to have the last word.

If you're married, stop giving your husband driving directions.

It's a fight waiting to happen.

Matter of fact, the least bit of advice you can give your husband the better off you are. Because he doesn't want it and he's probably not going to take it. Maybe once in a while,

occasionally, but not real often.

God told me a long time I go,

you're a teacher, but you're not Dave's teacher.
