Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from Galatians and Philippians.

Galatians is all about God's amazing grace.

We'll learn how the power of the Holy Spirit is what enables us to do what God asks of us,

not our own strength and effort.

Meanwhile, Philippians teaches us about joy, and how true lasting joy comes only through faith in Jesus Christ and serving others.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

There's nowhere in the Bible where we're promised that we'll never have any trouble.

I don't care how much faith you've got, you're not going to avoid ever having trouble in your life.

Jesus said in the world there will be tribulation.

Cheer up, I have overcome the world.

So you're going to find in here that one of the things that Paul says and teaches very firmly is that

You have to be you have to be very careful about veering away from the truth.

And you have to always test the spirits and make sure that everything that you believe is backed up in the word of God.

And we have to be, see the devil doesn't care if you don't do enough of something or if you do too much of something.

I understand. I mean like if you don't clean your house at all. He's happy with that, but if you become a fanatic and you turn your house into a mausoleum that can't have one speck of dust and you spend your whole life trying to impress

everybody by how your house looks. I was like that at one point. Then that

becomes a problem too.

Because now you're a slave

to these things that you've set up

for your own self that you get your worth and your value out of.

Balance is so important and to be honest we are just not real great at it. And then?
