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 Fearsome 4.

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life, chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls The Fearsome 4.

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.

If there's anybody here tonight or anybody watching my television and you're thinking, oh my gosh, God, you are talking to me.

I mean, it could be a parent who's got you on a guilt trip after all I've done for you.

And you know it's not right.

And you know it's time for you to stand up for yourself and say, you know, hey mom, hey dad, I love you.

I want to take care of you, but you're not going to run my life.

Yeah!

Well, here's the thing.

Are you, you know, you say to your children, you know, I love you.

I'm going to be a good parent, but my whole life is not going to revolve around you.
