Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times Best Selling Author, Joyce Meyer.

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

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life, chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls The Fear Some Four.

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 Four.

Peace, confidence, love, and courage.

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

Tonight, I'm going to talk about moving beyond worry and anxiety.

Does that sound even remotely good to any person here?

How many of you have something in your life right now that you could worry about and be very anxious about if you just didn't decide not to?

Most people do, and if you don't have anything today, you might have something tomorrow or the next day, and that's not like a negative comment that's just life is real.

And we never know exactly what's going to come our way, but we do know God.

We don't have to live in fear because He's with us, and He's on our side.

I had a lot of bad things happen to me in the early years of my life, and I got to the point where I was afraid of bad things happening.

Proverbs 15, 15 calls that evil for boatings, where you just kind of have this sensing around you that you're waiting for the next disaster.

And I've learned instead of doing that to expect something good to happen in my life and to expect it on purpose.

You can choose your own thoughts. You don't have to just think whatever falls in your head.

You can cast out wrong things and choose right things.

And worry actually begins with a thought.

Faith, I believe, starts in our hearts, a gift of God, but it's released through us thinking and speaking right things.
