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

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching about change.

This time of year, we all take stock and evaluate the changes we like to make in our lives.

Today, Joyce is here to remind us that as we trust in the Lord, he is able to change us from the inside out.

So be encouraged as you seek him to do a new thing in this new year.

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

Some people say it's hard to live the Christian life.

Well, I'll tell you, it's not hard, it's impossible.

You cannot live the Christian life, and neither can I.

Jesus has to live it through us.

Amen, that's better news than you're acting.

It's so hard to live the Christian life.

No?

When the devil tells you it's hard and say, no, you're wrong, it's impossible.

It's not hard, it's impossible.

But I can spend time with God.

I can study the word, I can sit in God's presence,

and I can let him change me.

Amen.

And then you'll relax and something will change and you'll say,

man, that had to be God.

God gives us His Holy Spirit because we can't do it ourselves.
