| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer. |
| 0:06.0 | On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, keys to loving your journey. |
| 0:11.0 | In John 1010, Jesus tells us that he came and died for us so that we can have and enjoy our life to the fullest until it overflows. |
| 0:20.0 | So life is a journey journey and we only get one |
| 0:23.1 | chance to live it. Why then should we choose to make it through, just endure, or worse, |
| 0:28.8 | hate the life we're living? Today, Joyce will share how through following the Holy Spirit we can |
| 0:33.9 | learn to love every step of the journey with him. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. |
| 0:39.9 | Now, let me just throw this in. |
| 0:41.8 | I don't plan to spend a lot of time on this this weekend, because I've done full entire |
| 0:46.2 | seminars on this, but I do want to say that it's pretty much useless for me to tell you to go |
| 0:52.8 | out and love anybody else if you're not going to love yourself first |
| 0:55.9 | simply because you can't give away what you don't have and neither can I if I don't have any peace in me I can't give peace to anybody else |
| 1:04.4 | Jesus was able to speak peace to the storms because he was filled with peace amen and so I wanted I wanted to love people. I would hear the message |
| 1:13.7 | about love and I wanted to and I was so cranky and hard to get along with and impatient and all the |
| 1:19.4 | things that love is not. That's what I was. And I didn't know why. And over many years, God taught me |
| 1:25.4 | that I couldn't give away what I didn't have. I didn't like myself. |
| 1:28.2 | I had a war going on within myself that was left over from the shame of my past. |
| 1:33.3 | And until I got that resolved through receiving the love of God, I didn't have any love that I could give away. |
| 1:40.4 | So if you still don't like yourself and you've got a private war going on with yourself, |
| 1:45.7 | whether you're in this building night or watching by TV, let me say it again, if you've got a war |
| 1:50.3 | going on with you, you live under condemnation all the time, you're ashamed of the who that you are |
| 1:56.1 | and you just plain don't like yourself, then you need to just tuck this message on love away. |
