Welcome to enjoying every day life with New York Times best selling author Joy Smire.

On today's program, Joy 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, Joy 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 Joy's with today's teaching.

Proverbs 18-21, the power of life and death is in the tongue.

And those who indulge it shall eat the fruit of it, rather for life or death.

You've heard the phrase, you're going to eat those words?

Well, that comes right out of the Bible.

And it's true.

What we think and what we speak is what we feed on.

So it stands to reason if we're negative and complaining and gossiping and criticizing and judging

and all that kind of stuff that we're not going to be happy.

But I know none of you do not know that, right?

You know, I got the wrong crowd here tonight.

You don't need any of this.

You're probably sitting there thinking, boy, I wish so and so would have come tonight.
