welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with
New York Times bestselling author Joyce
Meyer on today’s program Joyce will be
teaching from her series trust God and
do good the answer to everything is that
simple trust God and do good it’s so
freeing to believe God has everything
under control because that means we can
spend less time worrying and more time
trying to help others now here’s Joyce
with today’s teaching what about them
well first of all God does work in
miraculous ways and he he he turns many
things around in our lifetime and and we
see the good we see God work good out of
stupid stuff you know but I’m also
convinced of
late that we need to be paying a lot
more attention to the thoughts of
Eternity than what we
are I mean to be honest if you read the
New Testament they just talked about the
coming of Christ all the time
and that was 2,000 years ago and they
thought he was going to come any moment
see we need to live as if we really
believe Christ is going to show up any
moment boy would that ever change a
bunch of stuff
amen and however long our life is
here I mean let’s just say you live a
really long time let’s just say you live
to be
100 that’s nothing compared to Forever
and so if I take my whole entire life
here and I invest it for
then for
eternity it’s still a good
deal but the people who spend their
whole life here trying to please
themselves and get what they want and
mistreating other people and being
concerned about things man they’ve got a
whole eternity to have to not be happy
and wish they would have spent more time
doing what was right while they could
have I compliment you for being here
today I compliment those of you that are
watching Bible teaching on TV I mean my
goodness you could watch cartoons
or or some sexy soap opera you know
where everybody’s in bed with somebody
else wouldn’t that edify you and
encourage
[Applause]
you I bet that would build hold you up
and get you ready for the
day but you know here’s the thing even
if you don’t totally understand what I’m
saying I probably a lot of you don’t you
may at least wonder how a 72 year old
woman gets this kind of
energy
amen I mean Dave is 75 today and he
married a much younger
woman I’ll tell you what do doing life
with God gives you energy it gives you
purpose it gives you a reason to get out
of
bed we have a
privilege of trusting God well I’ve done
everything I know to do I guess I’ll
just have to trust
God you ever say I said
that I’ve done everything I know to do I
guess there’s nothing left to do but
pray well that should be the first thing
we do
and trusting God should be the first
thing that we do it’s a privilege to
pray it’s a privilege to trust God
trusting God has side
effects peace Joy confidence stability
Joy extreme
joy I mean trusting God is the best
sleep aid in the
world
now trust in God doesn’t mean that we
sit back and do absolutely nothing while
God does everything trust in God really
means that we are going to put our trust
in him but we’re also going to do
good now let me just share something
with you that God spoke to my heart
years and years and years ago and it was
at a time when I had all kinds of
problems enemies Joyce you take
care of my needs and I’ll take care of
yours see God needs us to get out in the
world and be a
blessing God needs us to get out in the
world and
shine let me put it more simply because
the shine thing can kind of get
mystical yes I’m going to go out today
and
Shine for somebody that could be putting
on sparkly jewelry I don’t know
God needs us to get out in our little
part of the world and act like we
believe in
Jesus well what does that
mean that means that you’re kind to
people that you treat people good that
you’re quick to forgive that you help
people when they need help that you
don’t complain all the time and murmur
and Grumble and that you but anyway you
know right you
know you know trus in God is what leads
us to a lifestyle of obedience and maybe
you know we supposed to obey God
that’s that’s kind of the long and the
short of this thing right it’s like do
what I tell you to and your life will be
blessed can you turn to somebody next to
you and say do what God tells you to
your life will be blessed
this is not hard anybody could pass this
class
today trusting God is the only thing
that’s going to lead us to obedience
because why would I obey somebody that I
didn’t
trust and so even when Moses disobeyed
God and God got angry at him he said you
didn’t believe
me so trusting and obedience go hand in
hand why in the world would I tithe and
give offerings if I didn’t trust God
that would just be the dumbest thing
that anybody could possibly do would be
to take 10% plus of their
money and give it
[Music]
away see that’s why the world doesn’t
understand this I had an accountant one
time tell tell me you’re giving away too
much
money and he didn’t understand he he
didn’t get it why do we why did you put
an offering in this morning to help
provide water for somebody over in
Africa somewhere that you’ll never know
or never meet because you trust God and
that trust provokes you to obedience and
you believe that if you give if you
bring all the tithe and offering into
the stormhouse that God will rebuke the
devour for your sake and he will open
the windows of heaven and pour out a
blessing so great that you cannot
contain
it and when when we don’t do what God
tells us to we don’t trust him we don’t
believe the word but if we do believe
and if we do trust then we do what he
tells us
to H it’s quiet in
here
you want me to take the offering again
would I get a better one the second
time you know if I really believe that
something marvelous is going to happen
in my life if I will forgive people who
have hurt
me then I’m like I’m not going to waste
one more day of my
life mad at
[Applause]
somebody who obviously doesn’t have
enough sense to know how to treat
people
I’m going to pray for them and I’m going
to do what God tells me to even though I
may not understand it I’m going to do it
because I trust
him come
[Applause]
on in every situation I’m going to take
some trust and that trust is going to
lead me into more and
more
obedience I want us to look at 1
Corinthians chapter
1:9 I don’t even know how to tell you
how many times in my life I’ve read this
scripture and two days ago I saw
something in it that I’ve never
seen it amazes me when that
happens how many of you have that happen
in your life you see something in the
scriptures it’s like well did they just
add that
word I mean i’ I’ve looked at this over
and over and over I’ve preached on this
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is
faithful reliable TR trustworthy and
therefore ever true to his promise and
he can be depended
on by him you were called into and I
want you to watch this part into
companionship and
participation with his son Jesus Christ
Our Lord now the word that just jumped
out at me and it’s something I preach
but wow now I got another scripture to
back it up was the word
participation we’re partner ERS with God
so even when I’m trusting
God he may show me something that I need
to
do and then if I go do that that’s also
going to help solve my problem but it’s
not going to help solve my problem
because I came up with some bright idea
of something I could do to solve my
problem it’s going to solve my problem
because God showed me do
this do this I you know I have had some
amazing relief in my soul from
practically blessing people who have
hurt
[Applause]
me you’ve heard a lot of my stories
about my upbringing and that my dad
sexually abused me and oh my gosh I’ll
never forget when I was praying one day
got to be careful when you
pray
I was praying one day and lo and behold
God showed
up isn’t that
scary I mean when we say oh God show me
what you want me to do do we really want
God to show us what he wants us to
do and I felt like God told me to bring
my parents to the city where I live and
buy them a house and take care of them
until they
died well I said I rebuke you
devil I did I honestly did I didn’t
think there was any way that God could
ask me to do that not after what my
parents had done to
[Applause]
me so I assumed that wasn’t God and went
on and the next time I was
praying there God was
again long story short we ended up being
obedient to God in that
area tried to buy a cheap house God said
no you buy a nice
house I mean I did everything I could to
wiggle out of any part of it I could and
can I tell you that that has been the
single greatest Victory and blessing now
now hang on a minute and I’ll give you a
real reason to shout for for
me to gladly take care of the man who
sexually abused me week after week after
week after week for about 15 years and
to take care of a mother who knew what
he was doing but didn’t have the courage
to do anything about it for me to be
able because of my love for God to take
care of them was the greatest Victory
I’ve ever
had
and bar I tell you it had side
[Applause]
effects I mean here was one side effect
