This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

We need to dedicate our whole selves to God, dedicate our whole lives to God.

And you might think, well, if I do that, I'm never going to have any fun. That's not true.

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

Well, thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

I'm really glad that you tuned in.

I've been teaching the last two days and I'm really glad that you tuned in. I've been teaching the last two days and I'm going to conclude today teaching on the subject of holiness.

And if you started with me the first day and you're still here, I am so very, very proud of you.

Holding this is not perfect, but it's pressing toward the mark of perfection.

As long as we're in these fleshly bodies,

we're never gonna manifest 100% perfection.

But God wants to find us pressing on

when he sends Jesus back to get us. Now we've talked

about a lot of things the Bible says about holiness, one scripture in particular

that can make you squirm on your seat a little bit as Hebrews 1214 it says strive

to stay in peace and pursue that holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Wow. Pursue means to go after with all of your might.

So we don't have to have arrived but we need to be pressing

toward the mark. The Apostle Paul said that in Philippians 3. He said, my determined purpose is to know him and the power of his

resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead while I'm still in this body and he said I'm pressing toward the mark of the high

calling of God in Christ. I'm pressing toward the mark of perfection. I've not arrived, but I let

go of what lies behind and I press. You see the word word press got to make a little effort you can't just do
