hi there welcome to joyce on youtube
don’t forget to join us on the joyce
meyer app and at joycemeyer.org
for more of what you’re about to see and
lots of great content to help you in
your everyday life thanks so much for
joining us
the first thing that jesus said to a lot
of the people that he encountered was
get up
make up your bed
and go home
and what he meant was get up get some
gumption shake that junk off decide
you’re not going to live like that
anymore
and let’s clean up the mess and leave no
evidence that you were ever in that kind
of a situation
well joseph decided
that he wasn’t going to stay in that pit
he decided that he was going to
shake it off
and he ended up
in the palace
second in charge
to only the pharaoh
you may not have anybody that
understands you may not have anybody
that
you think cares you may feel like you
are totally invisible in this earth but
let me tell you tonight and don’t you
ever forget it god sees you
he knows your name he’s got a plan for
you and if you will cry out to him and
believe just a little teeny teeny teeny
tiny bit it doesn’t even take much more
than a mustard seed of faith if you’ll
just believe just a little tiny bit
he’ll reach down in you there and he’ll
lift you up out of that pit and he’ll
set your feet on a rock
come on this is a night of hope
a night of hope the spirit of the lord
jesus said well this is isaiah talking
about the coming of the lord the spirit
of the lord is upon me
because he has anointed and qualified me
to preach the gospel
of good tidings to the meek the poor and
the afflicted he has sent me to heal the
brokenhearted
to proclaim liberty to the physical and
spiritual captives and the opening of
the prison and of the eyes to those who
are
bound
now you know just about the time you
begin to get just a little tiny bit of
freedom
someday you’ll be walking along and you
can kind of feel that pit trying to pull
you back in
no
i’ve spent enough time in that pit i’m
not coming back in again no thank you
you know i spent a lot of my life in
self-pity
i felt sorry for myself because i’d been
abused
and i just felt so sorry myself i felt
sorry myself because we didn’t have much
money
i felt sorry for myself you know blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
and when i started trying to serve god
and wanting to be a powerful woman of
god god said to me you can be pitiful or
powerful but you’re going to take your
pick because you can’t be both
you can’t be both and i’m throwing that
out to you tonight do you want to be
pitiful or do you want to be powerful
and if you want to be powerful then you
got to give up the pity god said i’ll
give you beauty for ashes but you can’t
keep the ashes and have the beauty
i guess i got to say tonight are you
willing to let go of some things are you
willing to let go of some attitudes are
you willing to stop feeling sorry for
yourself are you willing to
be bold and say if anybody can have
freedom i can have freedom and i’m not
going to shut up god until you bless me
let’s be like jacob i am not going to
let you go until you bless me i may have
a limp all my life but i’m going to limp
off with my blessings
isaiah 61 verse 7 i love this love it
love it instead of your farmer’s shame
you’ll have a twofold recompense instead
of dishonor and reproach your people
shall rejoice in their portion therefore
in their land they shall possess double
double
what they forfeited and everlasting joy
shall be theirs double for your trouble
why verse 8 for i the lord love justice
that’s just the bottom line god
loves justice now let me tell you
something i know that a lot of you have
been through a lot of rough things
but you can let it make you bitter or
you can let it make you better
and actually the things that i went
through
i had to make a choice at one point but
they’ve actually made me strong
i mean i am strong
strong inside i don’t quit
i don’t give up
if i got a goal
i’m going to go after it
i’m strong physically
i’m strong
and you can be strong
but sometimes
you got to go through some stuff and in
the middle of that going through you’ve
got to make a decision i’m not going to
park here at the point of my pain and
give up on life i am gonna go through
with god and i believe this is gonna
work out good
amen
[Applause]
all right point number one
okay
first point to the healing of your soul
you must receive god’s unconditional
perfect love for you
you receive it as a gift
you can’t deserve it you can’t earn it
and i don’t care what you do you cannot
keep god from loving you because love is
not something he does turns on and off
it is who he
is
who he is but if you have a revelation
not a teaching
come on we don’t need another teaching
we need a revelation
in our life
and the only way that a teaching that
i’m doing becomes revelation to you is
if you go home you take it you get out
your bible you look at it
you write things down
you got to put some effort into it you
you can’t just sit there and want
somebody else to download a victory into
your life
i mean we love free downloads well i’m
gonna tell you this is not a free
download tonight what i have to say here
tonight cost me
an unbelievable amount of pain and i’m
very happy to share it with you but i am
not offering you a free download what
i’m showing you is that you can have the
same thing that god has given so many
people if you’re willing to do the same
things that they did
come on get up make up your bed
it’s time to have a life
how many people here tonight need to
make a decision about going home and
beginning to just be a little more
tenacious about not letting the devil
walk all over you come on
man i just might get excited if i stay
up here long enough tonight
you are accepted
close your eyes and swallow this god
loves you unconditionally
he is not going to love you any more
when you behave better
god god will never love you any more
than he does at this moment right now
because he already loves you with a
perfect love
god
loves
you
even though my mother and my father have
forsaken me the lord will take me up and
adopt me as his own child nobody in here
is an orphan we are sons and daughters
of the most high god
amen
sons and daughters of the most high god
and i think sometimes it’s how we see
ourselves if you see yourself as broken
if you see yourself as an orphan then
you’re always going to be that and i
want to tell you something if you’re
still in the pit i know exactly how you
feel but i’m telling you this is your
night to come out when jesus walked up
to the tomb of lazarus he said come out
[Applause]
when king when the king went and opened
the door of the fiery furnace and he saw
not three men in there that went in but
he saw four because jesus is always with
you in your fiery furnace he said come
out
and when they came out they didn’t even
smell like smoke and i’m telling you
right now it’s time for you to come out
it’s time for you to stop living like
jesus never died for you and start
acting like the unbelievable amazing
human being that you are come on give
god a praise
[Applause]
if you want your soul to be healed
you have to receive
god’s forgiveness and that means that
you have to forgive yourself
now obviously we can’t forgive ourselves
for our sins but when we receive god’s
forgiveness receiving it means
that you take it and you let it go
and in essence
you forgive
yourself
i invite you to join me in the joyce

teachings i believe god will use these
