Ginger: Dugovich was one of those sweet, sweet little girls that will always stay with me.

Joyce Meyer stated that through their giving, they’re going to these places and they’re feeding hungry children and helping girls who have been taken into prostitution.

Pat: There’s just no reason to believe whatsoever that every one of those girls cannot come out of that life. I refuse to accept anything but that.

Joyce Meyer Ministries says that I really hope that the images, the emotions, the feelings and stuff that I experienced there don’t get diluted by life, that I don’t forget what all took place.

Joyce Meyer Ministries stated that it just needs to really become a reality in our hearts that this is what Jesus said to go do.

Chad: While the plane is taking off, I want to leave hope in these people’s hearts that we’re not leaving… We’re going to get more help.

Ginger: Please call the number on your screen, go to the website, make a difference in someone else’s lives that will last for eternity, and again, thank you so much for what you’ve already done.

Joyce Meyer says we just suddenly get selective hearing. Amen? Amen!: So, when we come to that point of knowing we’re full, we’ve spent enough, we’ve said enough, we’ve worked long enough today, we need to now rest – whatever the case might be, we’ve been watching television long enough, now we need to get up and do something else that’s going to bear some fruit – when we come to that point – now listen to me – when we come to that point and we have that decision, that little wrestling match with our flesh because the bible says that the flesh and the spirit are continually antagonistic toward one another – there’s always going to be a little war going on there Joyce Meyer Online.

Joyce Meyer Online says that do you know that the less you think about yourself, the more joyful you will be? Somehow or another we always think if we don’t take care of ourselves, then we’re not going to get taken care of, but the truth is God wants you to cast your care on him even about yourself and let him take care of you. You need to really learn that having yourself on your mind all the time, what you’re not, what you are, what you want, what you don’t want, what you have, what you don’t have, it all is very destructive to having a healthy self-image and a right relationship with God. My dvd teaching, “your self-image and your future” and my book, “how to succeed at being yourself” will really help you. Joyce Meyer Ministries stated that we’re offering you a bonus gift today, a book by Dr. Linda Mintle called, “making peace with your thighs.” So often, the way that people see themselves is even based on different body parts they think are not right, so I think that’s very cool; you can make peace with your thighs, your feet, your nose, or whatever it is you don’t like and you can learn how to like yourself because you’re never gonna get away from yourself so you might as well have a good relationship with you because if you don’t have a good relationship with you, you’re not gonna have a good relationship with anybody else. Joyce Meyer Online stated that stay with us, get all this information down, take action right away because good intentions don’t help you. You have to actually take action and then when you get these books and dvd, you want to make sure that you watch it and you read because once you get it in you, you can begin to really benefit from the power of the word of God. God bless you and have a great day!

Joyce Meyer Online says that should I take care of myself? Should I trust God? Should I go tell them off? Should I let God vindicate me?

Joyce Meyer Online says that so if we look at that the other way, just because I feel guilty about something doesn’t even mean that I am because it can be that false guilt that you’re talking about that the enemy is really trying to put on me. And once again, it’s been so helpful to me to realize that God does not oppress me or push me down or just make me feel guilty on and on and on and on. Joyce Meyer stated that he may make me aware of a wrongdoing in my life, but his love and forgiveness is always there to heal me and to lift me out of it.

R.T. Kendall: And Paul went on to say, “I don’t judge myself.” There is a man who’s free! The one who can say that is a man happy with himself. He’s forgiven himself which is what the devil, as I said, doesn’t want you to do.

Joyce Meyer says that that’s right. It’s been so great to have you on the program today. We’re going to go at this again tomorrow and try to help people in even a greater way, so thank you. I would just like to say to our viewers if you know someone who is having a problem with this, and you probably do, you really need to give them a call and encourage them to watch the program tomorrow. Joyce Meyer Onlinestated that obviously, if they haven’t watched it today, they can’t watch today’s program, but they can get on the internet and watch today’s program or tomorrow’s. It’s such an important area and we want to reach out to as many people as we can with this message that God loves you and he has forgiven you but it doesn’t do you any good if you don’t receive it, which means to forgive yourself. Now today we’re offering a resource package with Joyce Meyer. It includes my 4-cd series, “do yourself a favor, forgive,” and the book by Dr. Kendall “how to forgive ourselves – totally.” I really want to encourage you to take advantage of this offer. Get the help that you need, and don’t just get it in your home and put it on a shelf somewhere and plan to do something with it at some time. Listen to these cds, read this book, and read it and read it and listen and listen until you are enjoying the freedom that Jesus died to give you. Make sure you join us again tomorrow as we conclude our discussion on forgiving ourselves.  See you tomorrow and God bless you!

Joyce Meyer Ministries – Come on now. Here’s what I’m seeing from the Lord right now: I believe when we push past that and we go ahead and walk in the flesh, I believe it makes us grouchy.

Joyce Meyer Online stated that even though we pray for this and we want this, don’t you guys sometimes find yourself getting over into the murmuring part? Don’t all sit there and look so innocent. I mean, I know it’s wonderful to travel with me, but, you know… I’m kidding. Ohhh. 1 Corinthians 10, verse 8: We must not gratify evil desire and indulge in immorality as some of them did–and twenty-three thousand [suddenly] fell dead in a single day! vs. 9: we should not tempt the Lord [try his patience, become a trial to him, critically appraise him, and exploit his goodness] as some of them did–and were killed by poisonous serpents; vs. 10: nor discontentedly complain as some of them did– and were put out of the way entirely by the destroyer. Say: I see verse 10. I see verse 10.: Nor should we discontentedly complain as some of them did– and were put out of the way entirely by the destroyer. Joyce Meyer has these things happen and are being recorded here as an example to us that we might not do the same thing that they did. Amen? Psalm 91 talks about how God will give angels charge over us to defend us and to preserve us in all of our ways of obedience and service. But it starts out in verses 1 and 2 and says: He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the almighty [whose power no foe can withstand]. Joyce Meyer Ministries says that I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God; on him I lean and rely, and in him I [confidently] trust! So the rest of those verses only work if we’re saying the right thing to the Lord. See, what we have to realize is we just can’t go picking stuff out of here that we like and just kind of ignore the rest of it. “I will say of the Lord,” and thank God David said, “I will say.” He didn’t say he felt like saying, he didn’t say his circumstances warranted him saying; he said: I will say of the Lord. The bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: In all things – in all things – give thanks for this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus.

Joyce Meyer – I believe it makes us hard to get along with because now we feel pressure because we haven’t listened to God and we’re making all kinds of excuses now, when the truth of the matter is we should have just listened to God to start with.

Joyce Meyer says that  it’s amazing the pressure that we put on relationships when we’re trying to get from somebody what only God can give us because the fact is, it’s downright insulting to God when we go to somebody else for something that he wants to give us, so he’s not gonna let them give it to us.  Joyce Meyer Ministries says he will not let them give it to us and we may get aggravated at them but it doesn’t do one bit of good. I remember a woman a long time ago, twenty years ago, who used to come to my meetings and somebody told me that her feelings were hurt because I didn’t talk to her that day or something, I ignored her and didn’t talk to her.

Joyce Meyer Online stated that I was thinking about it and thought, “God, I didn’t even see her!”  and I thought, “if the lady’s gonna be that touchy, then could you at least please make sure that I see her and notice her so I can pay attention to her?” he said, “no, that’s not what she needs. Joyce Meyer wants you to pay attention to her because that makes her feel important but I don’t want her to get her worth and value out of you paying attention to her. I want her to get it because she knows that I love her.” So I learned from that experience that God literally blinded me to that woman. He did not let me notice her and pay attention to her because she was trying to get something God didn’t want her to have. I just wonder how many times we get mad at somebody else because they’re not giving us what we want and it’s because we’ve gone to the wrong person to start with.

Joyce Meyer Ministries says that’s excellent because a lot of times if we learn to set our expectations in the right places, it will save us a whole lot of heartache. We can really understand God’s love so much more when we go to him as the well instead of everybody else, but I know that a lot of people just don’t feel worthy of God’s love from the beginning or because of all the mistakes we’ve made or we’ve never felt his love in the past. It’s like Kerwinn was saying that we believe that God loves all people and that he probably does have a love for us “but it’s not that personal kind of love that I can really understand and get my hands on.” So when somebody feels like “I’m not worthy of anyone’s love; how could I be worthy of God’s love?” where do you go to begin to understand that God isn’t like everybody else?

Joyce Meyer Online – If I want to be out of debt, then I must discipline myself not to keep buying things I don’t need and cannot afford. Have you heard me tell about the woman who had a shopping addiction and her husband really was trying to get them out of debt.

Joyce Meyer says that when I see a need, I am going to work for justice. If I see something and I say, “you know, that’s not right,” one option I don’t have is to do nothing. I have to do something. I have to pray. I have to ask god what I can do. Joyce Meyer Online stated that  if I can’t do it, I have to go find somebody who can but I cannot ignore it; I have to do something. One of my daughters called me a couple of weeks ago — she actually emailed me. She knew of a family that had a lot of needs and they had some limited resources. She said, “I’m willing to do this but I can’t do any more. I know you don’t know these people but I know you like to help people. Would you want to do something toward this?” so, we finished off the need. I didn’t have to know them to help them.

Joyce Meyer has the thing is, she couldn’t do it by herself, so she didn’t just shut down and say, “well, I can’t.” She went and found somebody that could do it. Hello. Maybe you can’t meet a need all by yourself. Well, get together ten of your other bored, lazy Christian friends. The next time you go to lunch, instead of gossiping about everybody at church… Come on now, you’re too tired to fight me off so just… I dare you to never again in your life attend a pity party. The devil will invite you. You will get invited to every pity party he throws but I’m daring you to never again attend a pity party.

Joyce Meyer Online says when things don’t work out for you the way that you want them to work out, ask yourself: what are my options? For years I would do these conferences and I would have such a good time in the conferences. Then we would go home and Dave would want to play golf on Sunday.

Joyce Meyer Ministries said: I really want you to give me your word that you won’t go out and buy anything.

Joyce Meyer stated that “Poor me — I’m trying to help people and everybody’s out to get me.”

Pastor Phil: I think we just love and love people all the time, and we find ourselves keeping ourselves in good heart and actually winning them around to a better frame of mind themselves.

Joyce Meyer Online stated somebody said something to me a couple of weeks ago that I thought was really great, and it’s coming back to my heart. So often we talk about the sacrifices you have to make to serve God, the sacrifices you have to make in ministry, the sacrifices you have to make to go forward. This gentleman said, “I’ve come to understand that if what I get out of something is greater than what I’ve had to put into it, then I can’t call it a sacrifice.” Yeah, I lost some friends and I was embarrassed, and some things were hard for me but, dear God, what he has done for me — the joy I have, the peace I have, the privilege of being able to help people, I can’t really call it a sacrifice by Joyce Meyer Ministries.

So you’re right, we need to not focus on all these little things that try to hold us back and the people who hurt us and the people who don’t like us. We have a tendency to focus on those negatives, yet there are so many positives. It’s kind of like being married to somebody and you just focus on the three things that are wrong, and then you fail to see the 15 things that are right.

Joyce Meyer has even find them anymore because you’ve stared at what’s wrong for so long. So, we really want to leave people with the idea today that there are going to be hurts in the world — you’re not going to avoid that– but the healer lives inside of us. Hallelujah! And he’s always there to make everything well. Thanks, Phil, for being on the program today and helping us learn that there’s always healing in Christ. We want you to hold on because help is on the way, and I’m going to pray for you right after this break.

Joyce Meyer – You’re not going to be free just because you want to be, and you’re not going to be free just because I stand up here and tell you can be free.

Joyce Meyer says that’s right. I know Dave has honored the gift that God has put in me and people always want to know “how does Dave feel about you being in the position you’re in and him not being the one that’s “in front of the camera or in the pulpit?” and Dave a long time ago realized that God gives us different gifts for different reasons and his gift is not less than mine; it’s just not as focal as mine is.

John: He’s one of my heroes. I said that to 5,000 people the other night. I literally named Dave’s name. I’m sorry if I’m interrupting but I named his name and I said “he is one of my heroes because Dave saw the gift in Joyce  Meyer Online and Dave caused Joyce’s gift to flourish by loving her and honoring her, but yet, Dave flourishes in his gift. Dave is gifted in a different capacity than you are. You guys are a classic example of what I’m trying to communicate.

Joyce Meyer says And to be honest, John, Dave and I have been married now over 40 years and we do have a really good relationship and I believe that it’s gonna stay this way, we’re gonna have longevity, and I believe it’s because we’ve tried to obey these biblical principles. Even though I’m “in a position of authority,” I’m very careful to honor my husband. I’m very careful to not ever at least purposely make him in any way, shape or form feel belittled, and Dave also honors the gift that God has put in me.Joyce Meyer Ministries stated that he goes with me everywhere I speak. Every time I speak, he says “you did a good job.” So, if we will honor one another, then God’s reward can come into our lives and I believe that we’re seeing that also, not only in what God’s letting us do in ministry but just in our joy and our peace and all these different things. There are so many people who are disrespectful to their children, their children are disrespectful to them, husbands and wives are disrespectful to one another, the children are seeing that and it’s just setting family units up for total failure and disaster.

Joyce Meyer Online – Come on!: Well, it’s just so hard. It’s just so hard. Well, it’s just so hard.

Joyce Meyer says today on “enjoying everyday life” you can discover how powerful hope is and how it can help you through even the toughest battles in your life.

Joyce Meyer Online stated that I want to talk this morning about the hope of seeing change in your life. Is there anybody here who needs a change in any area? yeah!: A lot of people in the world are hopeless. Jesus didn’t die for us so we could be hopeless. He died for us so we could be hopeful – Full Of Hope. As a matter of fact, Dave and I talk about this often, we believe a lot of people are trying to have faith; but they don’t even have hope. See, hope is the happy anticipation that something good is going to happen in your life.

Joyce Meyer Ministries says that it’s expecting something good. What are you expecting? Some of you haven’t even thought about it; you’re really expecting nothing so you’re getting what you’re expecting. Or maybe you’re expecting a little bit, so you’re getting a little bit. I always say: I’d rather believe for a whole lot and get half of it than to believe for a little bit and get all of it. Doesn’t cost you any more to believe for a lot than it does for a little. Doesn’t cost anything to have hope, but it does cost you a lot if you’re hopeless because everything in your life begins to be down, down, down, down.

Joyce Meyer says hope is a favorable and a confident expectation. It has to do with the unseen and it has to do with the future. The devil wants you to believe that what you have now is what you’ll always have, especially if you have something bad. If you have something good going on right now, he’ll tell you that this will never last, but if you have something bad going on, he’ll tell you this will never change. We need to remember the devil is a liar.

Joyce Meyer Ministries says  i’ll tell you what’s hard: Staying in bondage is hard. Looking at yourself in the mirror and never liking the way you look, that’s hard!
