Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series Keys to Breakthrough.

We're all created by God with unique individual talents that equip us to fulfill every dream he's calling us to.

But sometimes life's challenges hold us back from living out those dreams, and it feels like

we need a breakthrough.

On today's program, Joyce will help us discover the biblical truths we need to be set free

from these struggles and move forward to victory in him.

Now here's Joyce with the series Keys to Breakthrough.

We live in a world where nobody, absolutely nobody, wants to take responsibility for anything,

but we as the church are better than that, and we have to stand up and be strong men and

women of God.

And anybody here with any spiritual strength at all should be easily be able to say without mumbling,

you know what, that was my fault, I take full responsibility and I'm really sorry.

Can you imagine how much better relationships would be if people would stop all the blaming and just own up to their own mistakes?

Now, Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar.

One of the most foolish stories in the Bible.

Now, Sarah Abrams' wife had not born him any children, but she had an Egyptian maid

whose name was Hagar.

So Sarah said to Abram, see here, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children, so I'm asking

you to go to the bed of my maid so that you may bear a child,

and perhaps I will obtain children by her, and once again, the silly man listened to his wife.

Amen?
