Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce

Meyer. On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series How to Survive

Change. We all experience change and sometimes it can be difficult to navigate.

But the key to transformation begins with our thoughts. What we think and determine

whether we face change quickly or at last longer than it has to. And we don't

have to survive change on our own. Joyce reminds us that when we choose to

trust God, we'll see he is with us every step of the transforming journey. Now

here's Joyce with today's teaching. Tonight we want to talk about the process of

change. How many of you want to have a change in some area of your life? Okay. Well,

I need to back up and ask another question first. How many of you want to change

yourself? You know, usually we have to change before our circumstances change.

Did you know that? Did you know that? Usually we have to change. And many times

God's using our circumstances to drive us to Him to find to get open enough to

let Him do what He wants to do in our lives. I think before we will really let

God take over, we have to come to the end of ourselves. And that takes a while.

Because we're pretty strong. And some of us that takes longer than others.

Because we want to do it. We've got good ideas, even for God. Amen. Well,

I God, you could do this. If you've ever done that, well, God, you could do this.

Like He really needs our advice. That's pretty silly, right? But the word change

means to transform, to change the nature, the function, or the condition of our

two convert. Now, you know, new believers are often called new converts.

Because if any man be in Christ, he is changed. Something wonderfully amazing happens
