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

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series The Power of Thoughts and Words.

We all desire to be more confident, have better relationships, and want to overcome feelings of not being good enough.

But did you know each of us play a part in making those things happen?

What we think and say has the ability to help transform our lives.

Today, Joyce teaches us just how powerful our thoughts and words can affect us.

When we know how to think and talk in alignment with God's word,

we can experience the good plan he has for us.

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

Come on, I want you to get a lesson out of this.

It's like everything that we buy and bring home is already in the process of decay.

And the things that we ignore God over, don't have any time for God,

you're busy working three jobs so you can have a big house

that you're going to complain about cleaning all the time.

And someday it'll be a piece of junk.

I think of the ecclesiastes,

it talks about your house drop us through.

Or a car.

If you want a lesson, go buy a junkyard sometime.

And just sit there and look and think everything I own someday is going to look like that.

We don't want to use people to get things.

We want to use things to bless people.
