Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series Facing Fear and Finding Freedom. Fear comes at all of us for many different reasons, and it can be challenging to overcome its grip on our life.

If we try to ignore it or avoid it, fear will steal our joy and drain us of our

energy. But there is freedom to be found through the promises in God's word. Joyce wants us to

discover how our faith in Christ can overcome any fear. Let's increase our faith and be free from

fear today. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

So the first thing that is probably going to happen to us when we head for the other side of anywhere is we're going to get a storm. What's the storm all about? Well, it's the enemy

trying to frighten us. Come on, we're talking about fear. It's the enemy trying to get us to go back to shore.

Find some safe place to park the boat.

And he himself was in the stern of the boat asleep.

I mean, come on, asleep.

Jesus is asleep and I've got a storm.

Wow.

God, where are you?

I can't hear from you.

I don't know what to do.

You're not helping me.

Are you sleeping? But the Bible says he never

sleeps. Now, Jesus was sleeping because he had a human body. We all need to sleep, but in his

resurrected state, he doesn't need any sleep.

Wow, in heaven, we won't need to sleep.

Cool.
