This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you.

I don't have a message that's going to make all your problems disappear,

but I do have one that can change you so radically

that you won't care.

Amen.

And that's the point. We keep trying to get God to change our problems and he wants to change us.

I do what I do because I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for

you. The key to everything is found in God's word. I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

You know, the Israelites procrastinated for 18 years about something God had told them to do.

He had told them to build his house, and for 18 years they put it off because they were busy

building their own houses.

This story is found in a haggi, and I'm not going to read you the whole thing to save time but let me just read you a little bit of it.

Thus says the Lord of post, post, these people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the

house of the Lord and in the

Amplified it says although God ordered it done 18 years previously.

Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Hagai the Prophet.

Now listen, just listen. So they're praying like

we what's wrong God I don't understand what's wrong. Every time I get a

little something somebody takes it I I, you know, so God send them a word. You want to know what's wrong, here it comes.

Is it time for you to dwell in your paneled houses while my house lies in ruins.

Now therefore thus says the Lord of hosts consider your ways.
