| 4aa5a71 | she did. Another story that blessed me tremendously was about a Jewish man who accidentally knocked over a stack of books in a Barnes and Noble bookstore. While picking up the books and trying to restack them, he ended up with Battlefield of the Mind. He opened it up expecting to find something he could make fun of and ended up purchasing the book. He hid it from his wife because he did not want her to catch him reading a book by a Christia.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| d405d59 | It is not what you do that impresses God; He is concerned with the why behind what you do. Ask God to reveal your motives to you and to change any that are not pure. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| af68745 | MAY 27 Decide to Be Positive For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. PHILIPPIANS 4:8 Negative people don't enjoy l.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 4ccf723 | We are to keep our eyes on Jesus and His ability, not on ourselves and our disabilities. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| def5e12 | As soon as we say, "But wait! I'm not perfect! I fail," we have taken our attention off God and allowed Satan to distract us with wrong thinking." | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 386581b | A Faithful Servant So then, let us [apostles] be looked upon as ministering servants of Christ and stewards (trustees) of the mysteries (the secret purposes) of God. Moreover, it is [essentially] required of stewards that a man should be found faithful [proving himself worthy of trust]. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:1-2 A faithful person knows what God has put in their heart, and even though they may feel like quitting, they don't give up. They don't get.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| b1ee109 | Die to Sin And Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ACTS 2:38 Dying to sin requires a daily commitment. We all have weaknesses, but that is why we need Jesus. He would have died for us .. | Joyce Meyer | ||

| 89e9337 | Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. If we have a negative mind, we will have a negative life. If, on the other hand, we renew our mind according to God's Word, we will, as Romans 12:2 promises, prove out in our experience "the good and acceptable and perfect will of God" for our lives." | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 8e317de | Notice there's nothing provided to protect our backside! That's because God never intended us to run from our enemies. His plan was and still is that, with Him at our side, we confront any issue in our life that is a problem. People are so skilled at not facing real issues, and they're even better at trying to cover them up by living make-believe lives and inventing false personalities. It is time to take a stand and confront fear! | Joyce Meyer | ||

So start this year right by becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with the One who has all power in heaven and earth. JANUARY 3 Trust in the Power of Hope Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. PROVERBS 13:12 I define hope as "the happy anticipation of good things." You can hope for something good to happen t.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| bedb427 | Trust in Him Think about an area in your life that you are making progress in. Don't focus on how far you have to go to reach your goal, but celebrate how far you have already come. Remember, God's celebrating as a proud parent every step you make--you can trust He's excited for you! | Joyce Meyer | ||

It is your job to listen to God and let Him tell you what is going on and what you are to do about it--leaving the rest to Him to work out according to His knowledge and will, not yours. God is God-.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| d4b8038 | So please remember that when discouragement comes from any source, it isn't God sending it your way! Immediately reject it, and if you have no other source of encouragement, do what David did. The Bible says that he encouraged himself in the Lord. When you feel yourself starting to lose courage, talk to yourself! Tell yourself that you have made it through difficulties in the past and you will make it again. Remind yourself of past victorie.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| f1f4c0a | Too often, we Christians expect life to be perfect and for everything to go smoothly for us. We expect success, happiness, joy, peace, and everything else. When we're thwarted, we pout or complain. Although God does want us to have a good life, there will be times when we must be patient and endure not getting our way. These disappointments test our character and level of spiritual maturity. They actually show whether or not we truly are re.. | Joyce Meyer | ||

And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world. 1 JOHN 2:1- 2 You are responsible to people, but God has not made you responsible for their joy. You may have children, or siblings, or a spous.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 77d2dc6 | Three things Jehoshaphat did were very important. First, he acknowledged he had no might to stand against his enemies. Second, he admitted he did not know what to do. And third, he said his eyes were on God. By saying these three things, Jehoshaphat put himself in position for a miracle. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 40f798b | Yes, we can hear from God in a personal, intimate way. The depth of our personal relationship with God is based on intimate communication with Him. He speaks to us so that we are guided, refreshed, restored, and renewed regularly. | Joyce Meyer | ||

| 88960d7 | The first step toward hearing anyone, including God, is to listen. Turn your ear toward Him and be still. He will speak to you to tell you He loves you. God wants to meet your needs and do more than you could ever think or imagine (see Ephesians 3:20). He will never leave you or forsake you (see Hebrews 13:5). Listen to Him and follow Him all the days of your life. You belong to God; you are one of His sheep, and the sheep know the Shepherd.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| c74df9f | and decide you really do want a hot fudge sundae! Go ahead and eat it. It is continual excess that causes trouble--not occasional liberties. God created a wide variety of foods for us to eat. Every good food God made, you can eat. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 799837e | Peter 4:1-2 says we can have the mind of Christ, Who suffered for us. This means we must think, I would rather suffer and be in the will of God than suffer outside the will of God. | Joyce Meyer | ||

When I think of workman's compensation, I think of payment made to a person who has been injured on a job. Likewise, if we get hurt while working for God, He takes care of us. If someone comes against us, hurts us, rejects us, or wounds us, we need to keep serving God and doing right, and He will.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 80d898c | The Source of Your Confidence For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 Knowing we are loved and accepted even in our imperfection is such a relief!

| b148004 | Well, then, thought Allison, why pray at all? If God was going to do what He thought was best anyway, why bother to ask for anything one wanted? If you prayed, and God thought that what you asked should be granted, He would grant it. If you did not pray, and it was true that God always acted in one's best interests, you would receive whatever He wanted you to receive anyway. Prayer, thought Allison, was a dreadfully unfair, rather unsportsm.. | Grace Metalious | ||

"Sometimes," said the minister, "The Almighty Father must refuse us. Like a loving father on earth, refusing a child for his own good, so must our Heavenly Father sometimes refuse us. But He always acts in our best interests." Well, then, thought Allison, why pray at all? If God was going to .. | Grace Metalious | ||

Nel New England settentrionale l'estate indiana tarda un poco l'avanzare dell'inverno e porta con se l'ultimo tepore dell'anno. E una stagione che non esiste e che vive fino al sopraggiungere dell'inverno, con la sua coorte di ghiaccio, di alberi spogli, di brina. I vec.. | Grace Metalious | ||

Dates (and other items of metadata) provided by Google Books are sometimes inaccurate. When a book is reprinted it may be revised, and a revision may shift the date of publication.
