Welcome to enjoying every day life with New York Times best selling author Joy Smire.

On today's program, Joy will be teaching from her series The Power of Thoughts and Words.

We all desire to be more confident, have better relationships, and want to overcome feelings

of not being good enough.

But did you know each of us play a part in making those things happen?

What we think and say has the ability to help transform our lives.

Today, Joy teaches us just how powerful our thoughts and words can affect us.

When we know how to think and talk in alignment with God's Word,

we can experience the good plan he has for us.

Now here's Joy's with today's teaching.

Father, thank you for the word this afternoon, and I pray that it's going to really

sow a seed in people's minds and spirits and heart that will cause them to want to make

healthy, positive changes in their life.

Jesus name, amen.

All right, I've been talking about the power of thoughts and words.

And I mean, the Bible tells us that we will never experience what Jesus died to give us

unless our mind is completely renewed by the Word, Romans 12.

And boy, that was such an eye-opener to me when I first started studying the Bible,

because I had no idea that my thoughts are my words affected anything in my life.

I mean, I went to church for years and I was never taught that.

And because of being on television, we have a lot of people from a lot of different

denominations that come to our conferences.
