Quotes from Joyce Meyer

God does not always call us to go back physically to a place we have been. But if for example we have a difficult time submitting to a boss with a certain personality God may call us to continue working with someone who has the same personality until we master the situation in a godly way. God does not want us to be on the run He wants us to confront our fears and frustrations in order to find peace in Him.

If you are a believer married to an unbeliever I want to tell you that the greatest witness that you can be to them is to try to be the same all the time. Don't let the way they act control you. Dave didn't let my actions control him. He stayed happy, and that just made me madder, because unhappy people just want to make other people unhappy, but it finally broke through to me that he's got a stability and a joy and a peace that I did not have.

If I have to build a big company by mistreating other people then the Bible says WOE to me. I don't know what that is, but I don't want any of it.

Just because you feel fear doesn't mean you can't do it. Do it afraid

When a person is going through a hard time, his mind wants to give up. Satan knows that if he can defeat us in our mind, he can defeat us in our experience. That's why it is so important that we not lose heart, grow weary and faint.

All god wants us to do is do what he asks us to do.

The sooner we learn feelings are fickle, the better off we are.

When you pray be sure that you listen as well as talk. You have things you want to say to God but He also has things He wants to say to you.

When someone gives you offense, it doesn't mean you have to take it.

The Holy Spirit showed me that when I put up walls to keep others out I also wall myself into solitary place of confinement.

I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself. He even showed me that what I was doing was an insult to Jesus that in essence I was saying Lord the sacrifice of Your life and blood was good but not good enough. I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.

If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.
