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

And it's next to impossible without the grace of the Holy Spirit to believe that God is pleased with us when we know full well that we don't do everything right.

So that's where faith kicks in.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

And you know, that's exactly what God wants you to do.

But the subject I'm going to be talking about actually today and for the next couple of days,

if you don't really have this as a foundation in your life it gets

very very difficult to enjoy your life. I want to talk to you about the free

gift of righteousness that comes to us through our faith in Jesus Christ.

Now righteousness just simply means that you've been made right with God.

It's not, in the biblical way of looking at righteousness,

it's not about doing everything right.

It's about knowing who you are in Christ. everything right for us and if we put our faith in

everything right for us and if we put our faith in him then God

because he wants to, views us and sees us as right with him.

So until you know that you're right with God. You suffer a lot of guilt, condemnation, and

usually live a lot under the law trying to do everything right and that can

really wear you out. I went through a lot of years

at that which I'm sure a lot of you did too. So the Bible actually says in Isaiah 61 that

we have a robe of righteousness which is a covering.

It says, I will greatly rejoice in the Lord.
