This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Anybody who lives by their feelings might as well just get a rubber stamp that says destroyed and stamp it across your life. We cannot live by emotions and ever have

victory. Victory demands that we operate in self-control.

I do what I do because I've seen God's power transform my own life and

he will do it for you. The key to everything is found in God's work.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I this way I'm'm talking about death in this way, I'm not talking about no longer breathing and being in a grave.

Actually, in the Amplified Bible, it says the type of death that's being talked about

and especially in Roman six where we're going to read a couple of verses it says

it's the consequences of sin, for example, brings death, but it says death that comprises

all the miseries that one can imagine both here and hereafter. So how many miserable Christians are walking the earth?

You know it's one thing to be a miserable center but it's another thing entirely to be a

miserable believer. We're supposed to be the happy group.

Amen.

We're supposed to be the one spreading joy.

Our lives are supposed to be salty. We're supposed to make other people

thirsty to have a life like ours. That's why I say we don't even really have to worry about preaching so much if we just get out there and live the life that Jesus

died for us to have, people are going to be like a magnet and people are going to be drawn

to you and want to know what you have and how they can get it.

But as long as we continue to be no different than everybody else except we go to

church on Sunday and have a bumper sticker on our car. Come on. You know what I'm talking

about. I don't want to be miserable. You know what I'm talking about?

I don't want to be miserable. I spent enough years of my life being miserable.
