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

Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life.

Watch these things.

And don't let yourself slide back.

Don't let yourself get lazy and procrastinate.

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

I want you to listen to me.

Is anybody willing to pay the price today for the privileges that you want later on in life?

Then you've got to go home with a new word now. Oh, and your flesh is going

to kick up a fit. I don't want to do it. I'm tired. I worked all week. I don't want to. I'm tired. I worked all week. I don't want to do that. Well, the bridegroom showed up when least expected.

Matthew 25-5. The bridegroom was a long time in coming.

Man, if any of you notice that Jesus takes his good old time,

he doesn't seem to be in a hurry about anything.

And here's the danger.

When you've been waiting a long time and you don't feel like anything is happening and it doesn't look like anything is happening

that's when we are very tempted to start sliding back come on now oh you were full of fire when

you first released your faith for that breakthrough bless god i'm going to get victory over this. I might confess the word and study

and do everything that I know I'm supposed to do. And then a year went by and a couple of years

went by. Maybe five or six years have gone by and the devil's saying that don't work that don't work

you might as well just you're just wasting your time boy that's when you got to be careful

because that's where the battle is really won or lost come on you got to make your mind up that

you're going to keep on keeping on come on now here
