Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Never Give Up.

Did you know the only way we can lose in life is if we quit?

The hard part is learning to keep going and trusting God, even when we're in the midst of difficulties.

When we're determined to never give up, there is no limit to what God can do in our lives.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Ephesion 6, verse 10.

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord.

Be empowered through your union with Him.

Draw your strength from him, that strength which his boundless might provide.

And put on the whole armor of God, the armor of a heavy armed soldier, which God supplies,

that you might be able successfully to stand up against all the strategies and the deceits

of the devil.

But we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, contending only with physical opponents,

but against the despotisms, against the powers, against the master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness,

against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly supernatural sphere.

Therefore, put on God's complete armor that you might be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day of danger.

And having done all the crisis demands, you are to stand firmly in your place.

Stand, therefore, holding your round.

So the Bible tells us over and over and over that we need to resist the devil,

stand against the devil, bind the strong man. But the interesting thing is, is that you cannot

do that if you don't also at the same time remain spiritually seated by being in the rest of God.
