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. Right and wrong mindsets.

You know, your thoughts can take you somewhere where you'd really like to be, or they can

keep you somewhere where you don't want to be. They can take you

where you'd like to be and they can keep you where you don't want to be. The Israelites spent 40

years trying to make what the Bible says in Deuteronomy was an 11-day trip. Wonder how long we

mess around,

going around the same mountains,

the same problems over and over and over,

finding different ways to really disobey God.

Can I tell you no matter how many times you avoid what God's told you to do,

he's not going to change his mind?

You can just go around the same mountain 5,000 times, and his answer is still going to be the

same when you come back.

So the best plan is just do what God tells you to as quick as you can, no matter how hard

it is or how much it hurts or what you have to sacrifice.

And please always keep in mind that God is never trying to take anything

away from you. He's always just trying to get you in a position where you can be happier,
