This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

How much of your prayers are for what you really need.

And I can tell you we need spiritual strength much more than we need a bigger house

or a date or that promotion at work.

See what God wants to give us for our inner life,

that's where your real life is at.

God respects persistence.

And I'm going to tell you something that you may not want to hear,

but I'm going to tell you that you need to expect opposition. If you

think that being a Christian is a walk in the park on a Sunday afternoon.

You have got another thing coming.

Because the devil hates you.

And any time, especially if you decide to go to church

if you decide to join a Bible study if you decide to have a regular prayer time

you decide you're going to help more people you decide to have a regular prayer time. You decide you're going to help more people.

You decide you're going to give more. Every time you take a step in the right direction,

the devil is going to take a step and see if he can move you back and so you have to be ready

to fight the good fight of faith sometimes. I have three

three scriptures I want to put up and have you look at them. First Corinthians

16 9 because a wide door for effective service has opened unto me in Ephesus a very promising opportunity and with

it there are many adversaries.
