Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times Best Selling Author, Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Fear Some Four.

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life, chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls The Fear Some Four.

Fear, guilt, worry, and insecurity.

The devil uses these obstacles to keep us from God's calling, but with Christ, we can defeat all of them and reach God's perfect plan for our life.

Be empowered with today's teaching and learn to embrace God's fearless form.

Peace, confidence, love, and courage.

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

This week, and I'm going to do a series called, I just stuck this title on it, The Fear Some Four.

Because I think that there are certain things that really have a tendency to be used by Satan to try to really make us miserable and destroy our lives.

And so I'm going to teach you on four different things this week, and fear, worry, guilt, and insecurity.

Fear, worry, guilt, and insecurity.

And I believe that fear is involved in every single one of them. Of course, fear is involved in fear.

But worry is just the fear that our needs are not going to be met, that we're going to have lack in our life and have an unsolved problem.

So, guilt is fear that whatever we've done wrong is something that we cannot overcome, and it's going to affect us, and we're going to have to deal with it the rest of our lives.

And insecurity is just a fear that we're not okay. We don't measure up to what we feel that we should bear or the message that the world has given us that we should be.

I'm going to start tonight talking to you about fear, but each one of these, I want to talk to you about how your mind affects you and all of them.

Your mind is certainly involved in worry, the mind is involved in fear, in guilt, in insecurity, insecurity is just a result of how you see yourself, how you look at yourself, what you think about yourself.

Really, there's no message that we could teach in the Word of God that we wouldn't have to bring the mind into.

The Bible says some amazing things about the mind, and I think one of the reasons why people respond so well to books and teaching resources about the mind is because everybody knows that the mind just seems to give us continual trouble.

If you don't have peace of mind, then you're just absolutely miserable.

Proverbs 237 says, as a man thinks, so is he, or so does he become?
