This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

You know, if I want to take a picture of anything in the room, I can't just go.

I've got to focus on something and then take the picture.

Well, what we focus on is what develops in our lives.

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 word.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

You know, many, many, many years ago, I mean, it's been 30-some odd years ago now.

When I taught my very first women's meeting at the church that I went to then and started, which has been now actually, 37 years ago,

when I asked God what He wanted me to teach on, He said, I want you to tell my people that I love them.

And I thought, well, that's silly. Everybody knows you love them.

And He said, no, they don't. If they did, they'd act a lot different than what they do.

Well, they had to show me that I didn't have any revelation on how much you love me either.

Well, you don't get revelation overnight. It's something that you've got to stick with.

So for one solid year, it wasn't the only thing I studied because I needed to study to teach those weekly meetings I was doing, but for my own personal study for one solid year, I read books on, I looked up scriptures on, I studied, and I meditated on how much God loved me.

And I can remember even going and standing in front of the mirror and looking at myself and saying, God loves this woman right here. God loves me.

And you know what? I got it. I mean, I got it as a revelation. It's part of me. It's down on the inside of me. And I don't care how much trouble I have or what happens.

Something you're not ever going to hear me say is, well, God, don't you love me?

And see, when you don't have that revelation, the first time trouble comes, you think, well, God, don't you love me? Well, God, if you love me, how could this be happening to me?

It's the same thing about knowing that God is good. If you know that you know that you know that you know that God is good, then you're able to trust God because no matter how bad a situation is,

you know that a good God can take that thing and work it out for your good.

We need roots. We need to be rooted and grounded in the things that we say that we believe. And they need to become such a part of us that the devil cannot take them away from us.
