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

program, Joyce will be teaching us how we can find freedom from fear. We've all experienced fear,

worry and anxiety, maybe because something negative has happened to us, or maybe because we just

don't want to deal with a challenge that lies ahead.

These feelings can come in us for many different reasons, but they all have the same end effect.

They steal our joy in life, and can drain our energy if we don't confront them.

But we can find freedom from fear and anxiety, no matter what the cause.

these feelings every time. Find out how we can increase our faith and get the victory today.

no spot or blemish. Number two, and at peace, number three, free from fear. And number four,

free from agitating passions and moral conflicts.

And so he puts right in the same sentence with don't be immoral,
