This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

All of the promises of God are for you. They're not just for somebody else. They're for you,

but you will have to be diligent. There is a part for you. You have to be diligent about seeking God.

I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

I'm telling you what, Christianity is not for cowards.

Not if you're going to be a real Christian.

Amen.

Because there's going to be sacrifices.

There's going to be things that everybody else you know does that you're not going to be able to do.

Not if you want to be the real deal.

And like I said, most things are going to take a lot longer than you thought they would and that waiting is not always going to be easy. But if

you're diligent, God rewards those that are diligent and your reward will come.

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Proverbs 10.4, lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

You can't be lazy, you can't be a procrastinator.

You know, procrastination is the biggest liar and thief, because it always tells you you'll do it tomorrow.

But somehow another tomorrow never gets around to coming.

And one of the best things you can do for yourself is when God gives you something to do is just get up and do it.

Not put it off and put it off and put it off.

Intending to obey God is not obedience.

Amen.

See, we fool ourselves.
