Sometimes when you wait, when you procrastinate, you miss an opportunity.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

Well, I want to talk to you tonight about the deception of procrastination. I knew that I was going to get that.

You know why procrastination is a deception because it tells you I'm not in

anointed as it will be tonight. You need to understand that when God puts

something in your heart it's much easier for you to do it when he tells you to do it because his anointing and his grace is there to help you do it.

If you put it off to your timing, see God's timing is equivalent to his will. So if we want to be in God's
