Help People And Glorify God by Joyce Meyer

According to Joyce Meyer, that’s why often we see people living immoral lives still functioning in a ministry gift and it’s so confusing to us, but God’s anointing won’t hook up with that gift for long if they don’t repent and turn from their evil ways. They may keep the gift, but they will even fall so far as to use that gift to serve the enemy. A man could conceivably be a wonderful worship leader, fall into immorality and sin and decline to the point where his music takes on such a worldly form that it glorifies the devil more than it glorifies God. Joyce Meyer asks, do we really think that the wonderful gifts that God has given us, he has given us to serve the enemy with it and not him? Our purpose is to glorify God and we need to use everything that’s in our hand to do that. What’s in our hand is the calling and the gifts that God has placed in us. It’s not too hard to figure out what you’re called to do; just ask yourself what you like and what you’re good at. I’m good at talking, so I talk.

You know what? It’s working out. I’m not good at singing so I don’t sing, at least not in public. I tried to learn to play a guitar because I wanted to lead worship and preach. My fingers were too short. I just couldn’t do it. Not only that I almost failed music in school. I didn’t care if it was a do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do – I just wanted to open my mouth and say something. You know what? I can use my gift to preach and teach and help people and glorify God, but you know what? I could also go use it to become a corn flake salesman. I mean, I could still talk. I could still communicate because it’s a gift that I’ve had since I was a child. I can communicate in writing.

I can communicate on tv. I can communicate on tape. People sometimes come and they do tv with me and they just say: you amaze me – how do you stop these programs? You’re talking, you’re watching the clock. You stop these things right on the very second. It’s not anything that I try to do. It’s just a gift from God and I’m using that gift in the kingdom. Joyce Meyer Ministries tells us that  there are so many people who are trying to do something they are not gifted for just because they are busy all the time comparing themselves with somebody else.

God gives you the gifts that you have for his own glory, but the way you choose to use them is up to you. You won’t lose them. We hear all the time “use it or lose it”, well, if you use what you have, it’ll grow. A psychic may have been gifted and called as a prophet – a seer as they were called in the old testament.Joyce Meyer Online said that these people had the ability to see some things that hadn’t happened yet and to look at a person and know some things that they weren’t knowing in the natural, but they take those gifts and use them for the enemy and actually draw people away from god rather than drawing people to God. You know a lot of these so-called psychics are phonies. You call them up and they are reading off a script. I saw some guy sitting in Starbucks the other day and another guy was reading his palm. I thought: oh, you dumb thing, you.

Joyce Meyer Online: So, how do you try to not look like, “hey, I think I’m better than all of you,” — like the holier-than-thou thing, and yet not get into what they’re doing?
