But I think it's especially important to do the right thing when nobody's looking except God.

And he's always looking.

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

When I started the ministry 35 years ago, God puts something very strongly in my heart.

And I was actually going to teach something else here, but I really felt like God wanted me to

teach you what he told me when he spoke to me 35 years ago. He said, I'm going to tell you three

things to do. And if you do them, I'll bless your ministry.

Always do everything you do with excellence.

Always be a person of integrity.

Keep your word.

And don't ever mess around with the money that goes through your hands in ministry.

He told me things like, put things in my heart like if you take a speaking engagement for a smaller church you're going to go

and do we call them camp meetings back then and uh you commit to do that and another much bigger offer

comes along you go you keep your word to the first one and then he said and keep all the strife out of your life

out of your ministry and out of your marriage do not get in the pulpit angry and preach

because you see only where there's you angry and preach.

Because you see, only where there's unity is their blessing and anointing.

Psalm 133 not only says there's blessing where there's unity, but that's where you're going to find the anointing.

And so tonight I'm going to talk about the first of those three things, which is excellence.

And I'm just calling this choosing to be excellent.

And I say choosing because if we don't choose to be excellent, the flesh will always be mediocre.
