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. You know what works of the flesh are? It's our energy trying to do

what only God can do. That's why I like that

I'll be handling all your problems a day and I won't need your help.

That's why I think having one of those would be good for you, so you're looking at that every morning.

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. 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 where Dave would be sitting in the next room.

Now I don't like this anymore, I've gotten smarter smarter but I was going to get it open.

I was not I'm opening this and I would beat on it and pound on it and get out everything and you get frustrated.

Well we get like that about so many areas of our life.

We're so frustrated because we can't change ourselves.

We hear a message on the power of words and we go home and we're gonna, bless God, I'm not, I'm not gonna say anything wrong today.

I'm not gonna say anything wrong today. How many of you know we can have a great plan

for holiness laying in bed?

And it works until you get up and see a person.
