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. I was talking about this the other day,

the joy of the Lord is my strength. You know, be joyful in the Lord. What does that really mean?

Well, if we just think about what Jesus has provided for us and what he went through to save us for our sins, what God let his only son go through to save us from our sins.

And think about the fact that you're not going to go to hell.

You're going to live forever. And you're

going to see him face to face. Amen. That's what it means to rejoice in the Lord. It means

to think more about what you have provided for you through your relationship with Jesus,

then you think about your circumstances, right mindsets. So instead of thinking, I just can't do

this, this is too much for me, you think I can do whatever I need to do through Christ,

who is my strength. And saying it out loud is like a double whammy.

Change of behavior is directly related to change of mind.

If you have a behavior that you want to change, just trying won't get it.

You can try it until you just to almost die and still have the same problem.

The only person that can really change us is God.

His part is to do the work.

Our part is to believe.

And what we believe ends up coming out of our mouth.
