Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word 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, 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.

And realizing that what needs to be done in your life can only be done by God.

So we have to be careful about works of the flesh

because works of the flesh produce one thing

and one thing only, and this is it.

LAUGHTER Works of the flesh produce one thing and one thing only, and this is it. Every single time you feel frustrated is because you're trying to do something

that you can't do by yourself.

I don't care if it's trying to open a jar of mayonnaise.

And I've had times
