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 Four.

Peace, confidence, love, and courage.

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

There were probably even people in here tonight that when it was offering time, you might have initially felt in your heart that you were to give a certain thing and then you thought about it.

And then you thought about what you're going to have to give up if you did.

And then fear came.

And so you went ahead and did something that was just comfortable.

We all go through that.

Everybody goes through that.

I mean, there's still times in my life when God will ask me to give something or do something.

I mean, I've got enough experience now with God that I know pretty much when He's asking me to do something, but still, if He asked me to do something that I don't really want to do,

if I think about it too long, then fear can begin to get in there about what kind of sacrifice I'm going to make and what I'm going to have to do without.

If we can ever learn to not let fear rule our lives, we're going to be 250 percent better off.

I'm not going to stand here and tell you that I've got a message tonight that can keep you from ever feeling fear.

I believe that there will be times in our lives when we will feel fear because I believe that that is the master spirit that Satan uses against people.

I believe probably more than any other thing he uses fear because fear is the opposite of faith.

God wants us to walk in faith, Satan wants us to walk in fear.
