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

You know, we need to stop waiting for God to do something.

And we need to realize that he has already done something on the inside of us.

We just need to wake up to the fact that we have got everything that we need living on the inside of us

to make a major difference in our little part of the world.

If we'll just get our minds off of ourselves long enough to realize there's a greater purpose going on right now

than just what I think I want and what I need.

And you might as well get happy because I'm not going to shut up tonight until you do.

A rise and shine, a rise and shine are words that call for a change.

Nothing in the world is going to change if the individual people in the world don't change.

And God has changed me so much but I'll tell you what I am not satisfied.

If you want to know the truth, yes, Christians should be content.

But that doesn't mean that we are satisfied to kind of just be okay and maybe mediocre and just kind of, you know, barely enough

and as long as we're as good as everybody else, that's good enough.

I want to keep growing and I want to keep changing and I want to keep helping more people and I want to keep getting closer to God

and I want to know Him better every single day of my life.

It's one thing to be satisfied and content with God.

It's another thing to be apathetic and think you don't need to keep pressing on with the Lord.

What is it that you want me to do?

Well, one thing I don't want you to do is nothing.

There's a lot of things we can do but nothing is at one of them.

Nobody can be happy and sit around and do nothing all the time. It's just not possible.
