Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series,

How to Age Without Getting Old?

If we want to look and feel our best no matter our age, we must learn

to take good care of our bodies and pay attention to God's voice speaking to our hearts.

He wants to help us be strong in every season of life.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Now a lot of people, babies love their milk bottle.

They love that. But Christians aren't ready to grow up. You start

trying to give them meat and they're going to spit it back at you. You said, what are

you talking about? Okay, milk would be more like, God loves you, you're wonderful, you're awesome, you're amazing, you're

amazing. You're blessed.

God's got a great plan for your life.

Every problem you have, God's going to solve it. Amen. We all like that and we all need that. We all need that. We need to hear that. Anybody that's giving you a well-rounded message you're going to hear some of all of that.

But we also got to have meat and meat confronts our behavior. Meat says it's time to not act like the world. Meat says it's time to not act

like the world. Meat says it's time to get yourself off your mind and do the

things that God is asking you to do. Meat says it's time for self-control. And so Paul said

not everybody is ready for meat. Not everyone who continues to feed on milk, not everyone who continues to feed on milk, and I love this, I hope you can get this, is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness. What does he mean? How are you, if you're still

feeding on milk, why does that mean that you are unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness?

You know what the doctrine of righteousness is?

It means that first you know who you are in Christ.

He has come to live in you at the new birth and your identity now is who you are in him.
