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 Right and Wrong Mindsets.

We can learn to think positively about absolutely everything.

It takes practice saying no to negative thoughts.

But when we replace Stinkin' Thinking with the Word of God, we'll start winning the

battlefield of the mind. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. Now, this is the part that I really,

took me a few years to swallow this, for to this you have been called. Now, I want, do I have the right crowd?

Now, listen, you know, I'm all for dessert, but you can't live on dessert.

You can give you all the sugar you want.

I can tell you how wonderful you are and how special you are and how much God loves you

and how many times he forgives you and how many new beginnings you can have in life

and that you can never out sin the grace of God.

And all that is absolutely true.

But if that's what you have to have 100% of the time in order to believe God and to hang in there,

then you need some vegetables.

Thank you. some vegetables. You need a big hunk of meat to chew on.

And you know, Paul told the Corinthians, and they were the ones that had all the gifts

of the spirit.

I mean, man, they look spiritual.

He said, I can't, I keep having to give you the milk of the word.

I can't give you the meat of the word because you're not ready for it.

And he didn't, you know, he didn't want to just keep preaching desert messages to them.
