Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Fearsome Four.

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life,

chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls the fearsome for.

Fear, guilt, worry, and insecurity. The devil uses

these obstacles to keep us from God's calling, but with Christ we can defeat all of them

and reach God's perfect plan for our life. Be empowered with today's teaching and learn

to embrace God's fearless for, peace, confidence, love, and courage.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

And the life he lives, he is living to God in unbroken fellowship with

him. Now there it is. The way to have victory over sin is to live an unbroken fellowship with God.

Stop trying to live under the law and have all your list of everything

that you think you have to do and can't do.

Otherwise, God's going to be mad at you.

Lay the legal side,

lay that aside, and realize

that Jesus kept the law, he fulfilled the law, he's written the law

in your heart, and if you fellowship with him, the closer you are to God, the more you're

going to know what is right and what is wrong, and the closer you are to God, the more strength
