Welcome to enjoying every day life with New York Times bestselling author Joyce

Meyer. On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series, pressing in

and pressing on. To press is to push beyond opposition. It means leaving the

comfort zone and doing whatever it takes to attain what God has for us. We

must let go to grow. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

on. You didn't clap but I didn't expect you to. I started to call it gliding

in and gliding on because I think we'd rather glide than press. Sadly and this

is not any accusation against anyone person but people just don't seem to

have the tenacity that they used to have and I think it's because life has

just become so automated and in some ways it's harder but in many ways it's

easier. I mean what we what we used to have to do to make a phone call. It's

amazing to what you do now. I mean when I first started studying the word and

teaching I mean it was quite a quite a job to put together one message to teach

because you couldn't just get on the internet and say give me all the

scriptures on sin. You had to have a concordance and you had to have this and

you need to have something else and I mean I would have books all around me and

studies sometimes seven hours for one message and so yeah we all like things

easy but when things are too easy to be honest then it ends up not being good

for us because there's always going to be times in your life when things are

not going to be easy and you're either going to give up or you're going to have

to do a little bit of pressing and pressing really just means to press
