Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Fearsome Four.

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life,

chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls the fearsome for.

Fear, guilt, worry, and insecurity. The devil uses

these obstacles to keep us from God's calling, but with Christ we can defeat all of them

and reach God's perfect plan for our life. Be empowered with today's teaching and learn

to embrace God's fearless for, peace, confidence, love, and courage.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Isaiah 5417.

Isaiah 5417 is a wonderful scripture, but no weapon that's farmed against you shall prosper.

And every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment,

you shall show to be in the wrong.

But now here's the part I really love, this amplification.

This peace, righteousness, security, everybody say security,

and triumph over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. So in other words, to be secure is part of your inherited blood bought right through your relationship

with Jesus Christ.

It's not something you go out and earn or get by who you know

or what you own. It's something you inherit. You inherit it to your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Just like some of my children have inherited brown eyes because I have brown eyes. We have a certain

inheritance through our relationship with Christ. The Bible says that we are joint heirs with

him. Whatever he has, we get as a free gift. But we receive it by faith. Now, if I were to say to somebody down here, I'm going to give you a Bible.
