Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times bestselling author Joyce

Meyer. On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series Spiritual

Maturity. We all desire to grow closer to God and experience his loving change in

our lives, but sometimes it can feel like we're stuck in the same place, like

we're not maturing in our faith. Let's move past feeling stuck and not growing and

let's press into God's Word. Listen as Joyce shares key principles from his

Word that will guide us in our walk with the Lord so we can live out his

amazing plan for our lives. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching. You got a

cookie here in this town called the cookie. Anybody familiar with that? Well,

hey you are missing out. I mean I mean we've already got these cookies ordered

they're going home on the plane with us. I mean we are ready for these cookies.

Now what if they said now we do want to let you know that there's one new

ingredient in these cookies, but you don't need to be concerned because it's just

a little bit. You won't hardly notice it at all. It's dog poop.

Well excuse me I just got to say it because you know how I am. I mean the

enemy is pooping all over our property and we just we just stand around

saying oh it's just a little bit just a little bit. You know there's not one

person going back with us. There's not one person in this building that would

eat that cookie. You wouldn't taste that cookie. You wouldn't even want to touch

that cookie even though it was just a little bit and they assured you that it

would not hurt you at all. You wouldn't even notice it. You wouldn't even taste

it. Well how many things do we do like that? Somebody invite you to go to a movie.
