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 Galatians and Philippians.

Galatians is all about God's amazing grace.

We'll learn how the power of the Holy Spirit is what enables us to do what God asks of us, not our own strength and effort.

Meanwhile, Philippians teaches us about joy, and how true, last to do what God asks of us, not our own strength and effort.

Meanwhile, Philippians teaches us about joy, and how true lasting joy comes only through faith in Jesus Christ and serving others.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Paul was very thankful for the partnership of the people in helping him spread the gospel.

You know, we asked people to partner with us.

They talked about partnership earlier.

And he thanked God for them every time he prayed,

just as we pray for our partners at the ministry.

And this amazes even me, but he says that they became a partner with him

from the first time they heard the gospel.

And they continued until the present day whenever Paul was writing this.

So Paul didn't have to try to talk them into giving.

They were so excited about what they heard.

Come on, maybe we're just a little bit too used to Jesus.

Maybe we need to be refreshed in what we really have. My gosh, your sins are completely forgiven and washed away.

You've been justified, made just as if you've never sinned.

Your name is written in a book called The Book of Life.

Jesus is in heaven preparing a place for you that where he is you may also be there.
