Does the devil ever tell you you're no good?

Well, why do you believe that?

That's just a lie from the pit of hell.

I'm Joyce Meyer.

I've seen God's power

transform my own life and he will do it for you.

How many of you know the devils... and he will do it for you.

How many of you know the devil's alive and well on the planet?

And you know, it's not that I just enjoy talking about the devil, but to be honest, every once in a while, we need to,

because for some reason, as much as we know, we kind of forget that he's behind a lot of the stuff

that's going on in the world and in our lives.

I have to tell you that I went to church for a lot of years and I never heard a message

about Satan. I never heard a message about the devil. I don't even know that he was even

talked about that much. I mean I to me I guess the devil was just a Halloween character where a kid put on a red suit and carried

a pitchfork and had a long tail and some pointed ears.

I had no idea that a lot of my problems and the issues that I was dealing with were from an enemy, an evil enemy that hated God and hated anybody who was trying to serve God.

And even when I did discover that Satan was a real entity, which I found through reading a book actually,

it's an old book still in print called Satan is alive and well on planet Earth.

And I was like, wow, it was like an eye-opener for me. But even then, I had

no idea that I had any authority over him or that I could do anything about it. And so we need to realize that once we recognize what the enemy is doing,

we don't have to just put up with it.
