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 word, we can experience the good plan he has for us.

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

Proverbs 1821, the power of life and death is in the tone.

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 of that, right? You know,

I got the wrong crowd here tonight. You don't need any of this. So you're probably sitting there

thinking, boy, I wish so-and-so would have come tonight.

Okay. You're probably sitting there thinking, boy, I wish so-and-so would have come tonight. Who has thought that since you've been here?

Yeah, see?

Look at that.

Well, guess what?

You're here.

Job 625 says, how forcible are right words.
