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 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.

All right, well, I'm going to do a series this weekend called

Pressing in and pressing 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 any one 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 was amazing to what you do now

I mean when I first started studying the word and and teaching I mean it 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 I mean I would have books all

around me and study 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
