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

Well, before we start today's teaching, I'm personally inviting you to this year's

Love Life Women's Conference. My special guests and I will share God's Word and help you

experience his presence and love in a life-changing way. I will show you what it means to be fully his. Take time away from all the cares of this world and focus on the one who has your name inscribed on the palms of his hands. He thinks about you every day.

You can do anything that God tells you to do. And God will provide everything you need because what he orders he pays for.

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

Don't ever tell me you cannot overcome negativity because I could not think two positive thoughts

in a row without my brain getting at a cramp. I wish I could explain to you how messed up I was,

but I don't even I don't even know how to tell you.

I didn't know how to think right. I didn't know how to act right. I didn't know how to feel right.

I misread everything. I had a root of rejection in my life. And that colored everything that happened. And if you have that, I can tell you it's affecting

your relationships. And I'll give you one example of how that works. Dave and I couldn't seem to

talk about anything. And I would always say, we can never talk about anything. He would get so

mad. And why do you say we can never talk about anything? We can talk about everything, but he said,

you talk and you want me to listen, which was true. And God finally revealed to me, and I thank God for the revelations that he gives us, that

what was happening to me was because of that root of rejection, if he disagreed with any

opinion I had, I took it as him rejecting me. But he wasn't rejecting me. He just didn't agree

with what I thought. And I didn't know how to separate my opinion from who I was.

Come on, somebody needs that.

And so once I learned how to do that, that just because somebody disagreed with me didn't mean they were rejecting me,

that made a huge difference. But I had to press through rejection betrayal abandonment you know it was bad enough that my

dad abused me but my mother knowing he was doing it and letting him do it was even worse to be honest
