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, Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Our relationships are such an important part of our lives. We prefer all our relationships to be positive,

but what about those who bring us stress or just kind of get on our nerves?

How can we be in a relationship with them?

Thankfully, God's Word is filled with the answers we need to have healthy relationships,

no matter how those around us behave.

Today, Joyce will share some of the ways we can all work toward having more joy and peace with everyone in our lives. Now here's Joyce with the series Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Let's look at Luke chapter 10 for a minute.

When I saw many, many, many years ago, what I'm getting ready to share with you,

it was a real revelation to me and it's meant a lot to me over these years.

Luke 10, verse 1.

Now, after this, the Lord chose and appointed 70 others, and he sent them out ahead of him,

two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come and visit.

So get a vision.

Jesus sends out 70 of his disciples, men that he'd been teaching,

and he told him to go into the towns and begin to minister.

He said, the harvest is abundant and ripe, but the farm hands, the laborers are few.

Pray therefore, the Lord of the harvest would send out laborers into his harvest.

Go your way, behold, I send you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.

Carry no purse, no provision bag, no change of sandals.

Refrain from retarding your journey by saluting and wishing anyone well along the way.
