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,

right, it's about knowing who you are in Christ who did 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.

My soul shall exalt and my God.

You see you see the joy there and he's going to tell you why. For God

has closed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness I like that let's

think about that again I will greatly rejoice and my soul shall exalt in my God because he has saved me and he's put me in right standing with him.
