Experiencing God’s Power in Everyday Life
After I became a Christian, there were many years when I had no victory in my everyday life. I was miserable because I still had wounds in my soul from the past that made me insecure, angry, suspicious of others and hard to get along with. Even though I loved God and went to church …

Step Into Your Destiny
When it comes to running their race and fulfilling the dreams God has placed in their hearts, I believe a lot of Christians are stuck in the starting blocks. They aren’t sure how a situation is going to turn out or exactly what they should do, so they do nothing. Instead of running the race …

Living With Purpose and Passion
Have you noticed that some Christians are never happy or satisfied? They always have a long face, and they’re constantly talking about their problems and circumstances. They have a lifeless, lukewarm, apathetic and pathetic attitude. The world may have this type of attitude, but we as Christians shouldn’t because the only way we’re going to …

Loving Like Jesus: Put On Love
“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony” (Col. 3:14, NLT). Love is the highest level of spiritual warfare. We are to “wear” it like a garment or armor. That’s why it’s so important to learn to love like the Bible says to: on purpose. But there are so …

Your No. 1 Key to Perfect Peace
Peace is an amazing gift God offers us. I know what it’s like to live without peace—upset most of the time, anxious, fearful and worried. It’s miserable! Since I’ve discovered how to live with God’s peace, I will do anything I need to do to have it. We have to understand the value of peace …

Are You Wearing Your Armor?
When I read the Bible, I am always fascinated by how many times the Lord tells us to “put on” or “put off” different things. Ephesians 6 is a perfect example—and it’s one of the most well-known passages in the New Testament. Ephesians 6:11 (AMPC) tells us to “Put on God’s whole armor [the armor …

Have Peace in the Midst of Life’s Storms
In Acts 27, there’s a great story about the apostle Paul. He was travelling by ship with some people when “a violent wind … [a northeaster, a tempestuous windstorm like a typhoon], came rushing down from the island” (v. 14, AMP). For days they were caught in the storm, and at one point it was …

Breaking Up With Worry
Worrying is a natural response in many situations, and I’ve wasted many days getting caught up in it. I thought that was a normal way to live. But through the years, God has helped me end my relationship with worry. And He did it with the help of my husband, Dave. Every time I have …

The Fruitful Versus the Frustrated Life
In John 15:16 (NIV) Jesus says, “I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.” In fact, the Bible has a lot to say about how Christians bear fruit—and there are two ways that we can do it. One is by displaying the fruit of the Spirit—love, …

Bearing Fruit When Hard Times Come
The Bible talks about bearing good fruit and how that is God’s purpose for our lives. For example, in John 15:5 (AMP), Jesus says, “I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from …

Joyce Meyer: 8 Ways to Avoid Wasting Your Time
Imagine we’re at a graveyard. You look at a tombstone and see the person’s name, the date they were born and when they died. In between the dates, there is a dash. I think it’s interesting that a person’s whole life—from the time they are born until they die—is represented by that dash. The question …

The Heart Conditions That Will Set You Free
I have a heart condition—and so do you. I’m not talking about my physical heart. I’m talking about my soul, which is my mind, will and emotions. This is the heart of our inner life. Our inner life is more important than anything else because it is based on our thoughts and attitudes, which determine …

Releasing God’s Goodness Into Your Heart Like Never Before
Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (NIV). The Bible has a lot to say about your heart; not your physical heart, but what’s going on inside of you—your thoughts, motives and desires. These “hidden” things are important because they eventually come out through your words, attitudes …

Accessing God’s Power Through Grace and Faith
God has a great plan for each person’s life, and He wants us to enjoy every day of our lives. But we can’t do it if we live in fear and lack confidence. Confidence is the belief that you’re able to do what you need to do. God gives us confidence, but we need to …
