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.

Do not judge and criticize and condemn others.

Now, pay attention to those words.

Do not judge and criticize and condemn.

Do not judge and criticize and condemn.

So that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourself.

When somebody criticizes you, are they selling or are you reaping?

Was that too fast for you? Do I need to?

For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others,

you will be judged and criticized and condemned.

And in accordance with the measure you used to deal out to others,

it will be dealt out to you again.
