This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

You say, well, I've tried and I just can't.

No, no, here's the thing.

You may be mixed up about what forgiveness is.

Forgiveness is not a feeling.

I'm Joyce Meyer.

I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

You are in charge of your life now you oversee your life.

And you can have a good life if you want to.

And I hope I'm shaking some things loose and some of you that you know you just

Man I don't want you to just settle in and say well this is this is, you know, just my cross to bear. The cross that were

to bear is to live an unselfish life. Jesus said, if anybody wants to follow me, let him take up his cross and follow me.

And the Amplified Bible says, forget yourself, lose sight of yourself in all your own interests

and follow me. If I'm on the throne of my life then I'm going to be saying no

to God a lot. We don't have enough messages on dying to self. That's not a popular one.

I'd love to write books and just call them obedience, dying to self, dying to live.

I mean you couldn't even sell a book on humility now.

I gotta hide my books under other titles.

Every book's gotta have a promise. I'd like to promise you something if you don't start doing what God tells you to do,

it ain't going to be pretty.

Because Romans 14 says every man will stand before God and give an account of his life. And if anybody's watching by TV and you think you're an atheist and don't believe in God you're going to get a surprise.

Jeremiah 2911.
