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

God gives us the power of patient, endurance, and supplies encouragement

while we're going through the difficult things.

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

Thank you so much for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

Now probably when I tell you what I'm going to teach on today you're going to

groan but ultimately it will be good for you. I want to talk today about

patient endurance.

And the word endure literally means that you have the ability to go through difficult things,

make it all the way through and come out victorious on the other side.

I always like to say that there's a beginning of things and that's usually excited.

We're starting something new and so we're exciting. And of course if you

make it to the end to the finish that's exciting. But there's also a middle and sadly a

lot of people give up in the middle and they spend their whole life just giving up

going back and starting over giving up going back and starting over you know it might be compared to somebody who goes on a diet on Sunday night after dinner,

and then Monday afternoon when they get hungry,

all of a sudden they give in.

So it's easy to say we're going to do something, but it's a little more challenging when it starts

to hurt.

And I can tell you that endurance will hurt. It's not going to be comfortable.

So God gives us the power of patient endurance and supplies encouragement while we're going through the difficult things.

Romans 15, 4 through 6.
