This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

When you make sacrifices, God rewards you.

I mean, he just does. That's all there is to it.

And one of the things that happens is it gives you a lot of favor.

And favor is just, it's just flat out fun.

I'm Joyce Meyer.

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

So the biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest problem that we have as Christians.

And the biggest problem that the world has with Christians

is those who talk to talk and don't walk the walk.

And that's because of not having made that decision

that you're walking away from that old life. You cannot just take Jesus, tack him

onto your old life, and expect him to go along and fix all your problems while you still live

the same way that you live before. Amen? There's no person that can be truly born again and never change.

It is not possible.

In 1 John 3.9, the Bible says in the amplified Bible, that anyone who is born again

cannot habitually, purposely continue in sin.

Doesn't say he never sins, but he says he cannot habitually, purposely, knowingly live in sin

because the seed of God lives in him. Do you know what that means? When you are born again, you become

pregnant with everything that God is. But it comes into our spirit in the form of seed.

And that's why the word is called the water of the word.

Every time you hear the word, you're watering the seed of God that's on the inside of you.
