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. Something else I feel like I need to share is, you know, sometimes you can be doing

something for a long time, and then all of a sudden God's done with it. And that's a hard one, too,

because you kind of like what you're doing you've gotten good at it you're enjoying it

and then all of a sudden something's not working it's not working the anointing just isn't there

you're not enjoying it anymore it's like, yeah.

I worked at a church in St. Louis for five years.

Five years I had home Bible studies, and five years I worked at this church, and I liked my job.

I got to do a lot of preaching, taught in the Bible school, had a huge women's meeting every Thursday morning about 400, 450 people came.

That's a decent-sized congregation. Did most of the teaching when the pastor was out of town.

Didn't have to believe for my paycheck, he did. And it was good. And then, but I started just didn't want to go to work, didn't want to go to work, didn't want to go to the meetings,

the board, you know, the weekly meetings.

I didn't know what was wrong with me.

I'm like, what's wrong with me?

Didn't want to go to prayer meetings.
