Trusting God Is A Great Privilege

I’ve got everything under control.” and she said, “I was worrying and fussing around and all of a sudden I thought: you know what?  There’s not a thing I can do about this because he’s not going to stop, so I might as well just get in agreement with him and keep my peace and keep my power.” well, see, she’s learned! She’s learned! I’ve learned in many ways. I know when to keep trying to talk him into something and I know when to just shut up and go make myself happy doing something else because it’s just not going to work. But I didn’t learn that overnight. I went around and around and around the same stupid mountain over and over and over and over and I just kept trying to do it my way, sowing to the flesh, trying to talk people into changing, trying to make people change, trying to convince them my way, my plan. The flesh, the flesh, the flesh. And what did I get? Ruin, decay, destruction, unhappiness, misery, upset, headaches, neck aches, backaches, stress disorders, everything. Trying to be “holy ghost, junior” is hard work!

Joyce: one thing is for sure, the selfish part of us wants control but if we ever really want to enjoy our life, we have to learn how to trust God. Trusting God is a great privilege.  I was talking with my husband about that the other day and I said what a wonderful blessing it is to not have to worry about all these things and just be able to pray and trust God. Today we’re offering a four-cd teaching series titled “enjoying a life of freedom” and you really will never be able to enjoy a life of freedom if you don’t learn how to trust God. We’re also going to include a bonus gift of my book called “21 ways to finding peace and happiness.” this is a really good book. I know because I wrote it. I also read it. “21 ways to finding peace and happiness.” we love you, we care about you and we want to get the word of God into your life because we know that’s what changed us. Listen to my announcer, then stay with me because I have some good news for you.

Joyce Meyer  – but then I realized over the course of my career as I had the highs and then the lows, I had more people come to me and say, “you’ve witnessed more to me, you’ve had more impact on my life now that I’ve seen you high and low because your life has stayed consistent.”
