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.

All right, now, Genesis 50-20. I'm not going to tell you the whole story of Joseph. Most of you

probably know it. Let's just say that he was cruelly treated by his brothers. They hated him,

they sold him to slave traders. A whole bunch of series of bad things happened as a result of that.

He ended up in prison for many years for something he didn't do. All that time, he kept trust in

God. There was a famine in the land.

He was now in charge of all the food.

It's amazing how this person over here can mistreat you,

but if you put your trust in God, he can actually promote you.

He is a God of justice.

And so there was a famine in the land,

and so the brothers came to get food,

and they had to go through Joseph to get it,

but they didn't know it was Joseph.
