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 My Favorite Scriptures.

The Bible has made all the difference in Joyce's life, taking her from a barely getting by unhappy mindset to having a real, joyful, abundant life in Christ.

And she wants us to experience this same life-changing power from God's Word in our lives, too.

In this teaching series, Joyce shares the key scriptures that led to major turning points in

her walk with God.

Her hope is God's Word will also inspire us to dig into the Bible and have our own

firsthand encounters with God that brings us closer to him.

Now, here's Joyce with the series, My Favorite Scriptures.

And so Jacob was running and he came to a point, I guess, where he was fed up with it.

And see, that's what's got to happen sometimes. You've got to come to the point where you're fed up with it.

And so he decided that he didn't want to run anymore. He didn't want to be afraid. He wanted to make things right with Esau. So he started sending gifts to Esau. And then every group that would go

and meet Esau would the gifts would be better than

they were before. Now having told you that much of the story, let's start in verse, oh, 22. But he rose up

that same night and took his two wives and his two women's servant and his 11 sons and he

passed over the fort of the Jabrook and he took them and he sent them across the brook and also

he sent over all that he had. I like to kind of imagine this. It was like he had come to a point in his

life where he wasn't willing to go on anymore the way he was.

I wonder if there's anybody here that's not willing to go on anymore the way you are.

Whatever that might mean to somebody, it's like I've had enough of this and I don't want to

live like this anymore. I'm not going to live without peace in my life.

I'm not going to live with, I'm not just going to go through life.
