This program is paid for by people like you, the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

What do you have going on in your life that you know full well is against the word of God,

but you just won't give it up?

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

The main way the enemy speaks to us is by putting thoughts in our mind.

That's why we definitely need to know the word because if you don't know the word you won't recognize the lies of

Satan. Amen. When you know the word, let's say you've done something wrong and you've prayed,

you've admitted it, you've confessed it before God, you've asked to be forgiven, and then tomorrow you

still feel guilty. If you really know the word, you'll know that that's the devil trying to

make you feel guilty because if the sin's been forgiven, then there can't be any guilt attached to it.

But if you don't know the word, then you can't be any guilt attached to it. But if you don't know the word, then you can just waste most of your time feeling guilty about stuff that God's already forgotten.

Amen?

I don't mess with that anymore.

I spent years feeling guilty. I didn't feel good if I didn't feel bad. When I first started experiencing peace, I was bored. I was. I thought. Young.

You know, you can get addicted to being upset.

Being tense.

Yeah. kid to being upset. Be intense. So the devil said to him, if you are the son of God.

So the first thing he does is attack his identity.

Who do you think you are?

Order this stone to turn into a loaf of bread.

So what was the temptation here?

One, he attacked his identity, and two, he tried to get him to move independently of God.
