ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE
BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: DON'T LET PEOPLE MINIMIZE YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL
LITTLE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING THE WORLD THINKS IS
BIG BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T SEE THE WAY THE WORLD SEES.
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW, OFFENSE IS LIKE THAT SPIRITUAL HANGNAIL
THAT KEEPS US FROM REALLY LOVING PEOPLE.
AND WHEN WE'VE GOT UNFORGIVENESS OR--I'M REALLY TRYING
TO NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT UNFORGIVENESS TONIGHT.
I WANT TO TALK WHAT I THINK PRECEDES IT.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THESE LITTLE HANGNAIL THINGS THAT
I THINK WE GET THAT WE DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THAT THEN
ACTUALLY BECOME BIGGER PROBLEMS IN OUR LIFE AND THEY AFFECT
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
THEY AFFECT OUR PRAYERS.
THEY AFFECT OUR WORSHIP.
BUT BECAUSE WE DON'T DEAL WITH THE LITTLE STUFF--HOW MANY AGREE
THAT SOMETIMES WE JUST DON'T DEAL WITH--'CAUSE WE THINK
IT'S NO BIG DEAL?
"WELL, YOU OFFENDED ME.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT I'M OFFENDED.
YOU OFFENDED ME."
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
HERE'S THE THING, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US,
WE HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN LIVES.
IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE GOD TO RECEIVE
HIS GRACE TO NOT BE OFFENDED.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU DID TRY TO OFFEND ME AND EVEN IF YOU TRIED
TO DO IT ON PURPOSE, I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE NOT TO TAKE THAT.
AND WHAT WE DO IS WE BLAME HOW WE FEEL ON EVERYBODY ELSE.
"WELL, YEAH, I'M OFFENDED, BUT YOU OFFENDED ME.
I DON'T NEED TO CHANGE, YOU NEED TO CHANGE.
YOU NEED TO ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL GOOD,
THEN I WON'T EVER GET MAD."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: DID YOU EVER NOTICE THAT NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE DID,
IT DIDN'T BOTHER JESUS AT ALL?
I MEAN, THEY COULD REJECT HIM, HE DIDN'T CARE.
DENY HIM, ABUSE HIM, GO TO SLEEP ON HIM
WHEN HE NEEDED THEM TO PRAY WITH HIM FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE.
NEVER BOTHERED HIM.
YOU KNOW WHY?
ONE SIMPLE REASON, HE KNEW WHERE HE CAME FROM,
HE KNEW WHO HE WAS, AND HE KNEW WHERE HE WAS GOING.
AND WHEN EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET CAN LEARN THAT,
THE DEVIL'S PARTY IS OVER.
AMEN?
KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
THAT YOU CAN EVER KNOW.
YOUR VALUE SHOULD NOT BE DETERMINED BY HOW SOMEBODY
ELSE HAS TREATED YOU.
COME ON, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HEAR THAT TONIGHT.
YOUR VALUE SHOULD NOT BE DETERMINED BY HOW SOMEBODY ELSE
HAS TREATED YOU.
AND ONE MORE TIME, YOUR VALUE SHOULD NOT BE DETERMINED BY HOW
SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TREATED YOU.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: LET'S LOOK AT MARK 11:22, SCRIPTURES THAT
YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH BUT NONETHELESS, WORTH LOOKING AT.
JUST ONE LITTLE QUICK THING IN HERE ABOUT HOW ALL
THIS ANGER AND OFFENSE STUFF AFFECTS OUR PRAYERS.
I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GONNA PRAY, YOU OUGHT TO PRAY PRAYERS
THAT CAN GET ANSWERED.
YOU ALL AGREE WITH THAT, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT THE LORD PUT ON MY HEART AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
YEAR AND I'VE ALREADY PREACHED THIS MESSAGE BUT, I CAN'T PREACH
IT HERE BUT VERY SIMPLY, THIS IS WHAT CAME INTO MY HEART,
"IF YOU'RE GONNA COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING, JOYCE, DON'T
BOTHER TO PRAY ABOUT IT."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OKAY, THEN.
'CAUSE GOD'S NOT IN CHARGE OF THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: HE ANSWERS PRAYERS, NOT COMPLAINTS.
AND IF I PRAY, THEN I GO COMPLAIN, I'M IN ESSENCE SAYING,
GOD DIDN'T HEAR ME AND HE'S NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
ANYWAY, SO I MIGHT AS WELL JUST KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
THE BIBLE SAYS, "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN ALL THINGS
BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION," UH-OH, "WITH THANKSGIVING--"
WE NEED TO GET SOME THANK YOU POWER BACK IN OUR LIVES.
AMEN?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: VERSE 22, "AND JESUS, REPLYING, SAID TO THEM,
HAVE FAITH IN GOD [CONSTANTLY].
TRULY I TELL YOU, WHOEVER SAYS TO THIS MOUNTAIN, BE LIFTED UP
AND THROWN INTO THE SEA!
AND DOES NOT DOUBT AT ALL IN HIS HEART BUT BELIEVES THAT
WHAT HE SAYS WILL TAKE PLACE, IT WILL BE DONE FOR HIM."
AMEN.
"FOR THIS REASON I AM TELLING YOU," THIS GETS BETTER AND
BETTER, "WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN PRAYER, BELIEVE (TRUST AND
BE CONFIDENT) THAT IT IS GRANTED TO YOU, AND YOU WILL [GET IT]."
AMEN.
"AND WHENEVER YOU STAND PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING
AGAINST ANYONE..."
IF YOU HAVE ANY LITTLE SPIRITUAL HANGNAILS,
"FORGIVE HIM AND LET IT DROP (LEAVE IT, LET IT GO]"
LET'S REWIND; "AND WHENEVER YOU STAND PRAYING,
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE,"
THE CAR REPAIR PLACE, THE GROCERY STORE, YOUR BOSS,
YOUR COWORKER, YOUR NEIGHBOR, SOMEBODY IN YOUR FAMILY.
IT AIN'T REALLY GONNA DO YOU ANY GOOD TO BE MAD AT
THE GOVERNMENT.
THAT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE 'EM.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: IN CASE ANYBODY FEELS A LITTLE SLUGGISH TONIGHT,
LET ME PUT IT PLAIN.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: IF WE WANT VERSE 22, 23, 24, 25 TO WORK,
WE GOTTA DO 26.
"AND WHEN YOU STAND PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST
ANYONE," VERY SIMPLE HE SAYS, "DROP IT.
LEAVE IT.
WALK AWAY FROM IT: I CAN'T MESS WITH THAT."
CHAMPIONS REFUSE TO BE OFFENDED.
THEY WILL NOT LIVE IN OFFENSE.
DAVID, THE LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY WHO BECAME KING, HE HAD MANY
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE OFFENDED STARTING WITH THE FACT THAT WHEN
SAMUEL WAS SENT TO JESSE'S HOUSE TO ANOINT A NEW KING, SEVEN
BROTHERS PASSED BEFORE HIM.
"SURELY IT WILL BE ELIAB THE ELDEST," NOT THE RIGHT ONE.
"SURELY IT WILL BE ABINADAB," NOT THE RIGHT ONE.
"SURELY IT WILL BE SHAMMAH," NOT THE RIGHT ONE.
SEVEN PASSED BEFORE HIM.
THE PROPHET SAID, "NONE OF THESE ARE RIGHT.
DON'T YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHILDREN?"
"WELL, YEAH, THERE'S DAVID, THE LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY.
HE'S OUT IN THE FIELD."
THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO BRING DAVID IN TO BE CONSIDERED.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: OH, HOW OFFENDED WE GET WHEN WE'RE NOT EVEN
CONSIDERED, WHEN NOBODY EVEN CONSIDERS US, NOBODY CONSIDERS
OUR FEELINGS, NOBODY CONSIDERED THAT THEY WEREN'T INVITING US.
NOBODY INCLUDED US, NOBODY CARED HOW WE FELT.
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING BEFORE HE EVER EVEN RECEIVED
THE ANOINTING, COME ON, HE GOT A TEST.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: HE GOT A TEST.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IS JUST LAY DOWN IN THE FLOOR
KICK YOUR FEET FUNNY?
WHEN THE PROPHET ANOINTED HIM, HE DID IT RIGHT IN FRONT
OF THE SEVEN BROTHERS.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: "OH, OH...
HIM?" GOD DOESN'T SEE
LIKE MAN SEES.
GOD SEES THE HEART.
AND WE BETTER BE CAREFUL WHEN WE START HAVING OPINIONS
ABOUT WHO GOD USES.
COME ON, NOW.
WHY DIDN'T GOD JUST GO DO IT QUIETLY?
WHY DIDN'T THE PROPHET JUST GET THE KID, TAKE HIM SOMEWHERE
PRIVATELY ANOINT HIM AND SAY, "HEY, SOME DAY
YOU'RE GONNA BE KING.
DON'T TELL ANYBODY."
NO, HE DID IT IN FRONT OF THE SEVEN BROTHERS.
OH, MY GOSH, I BET THEY WERE SEETHING.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "WELL!"
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?"
AND THAT WAS PROVEN A LITTLE BIT LATER
WHEN IN 1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 17, DAVID WANTED TO GO SEE
THE BATTLE WITH GOLIATH BECAUSE HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT
WHY NONE OF THESE SOLDIERS WERE OFFERING TO FIGHT GOLIATH.
HE DIDN'T GET IT BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT GOD WOULD FIGHT WITH HIM.
HE KNEW THAT.
SEE, THE REASON WHY HE WAS ANOINTED TO BE KING
WAS BECAUSE HE KNEW GOD.
HE KNEW GOD.
HE KNEW WHO HE WAS.
HE KNEW HE COULD TRUST HIM.
AND YOU KNOW WHY HE KNEW GOD?
BECAUSE HE'D BEEN AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE AND OUT IN THE FIELD
BY HIMSELF WITH THE SHEEP LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO
KNOW GOD REALLY WELL.
DON'T EVER COMPLAIN WHEN YOU'RE LONELY.
TAKE IT AS A TIME TO GET TO KNOW GOD.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AMEN?
SO, DAVID WANTED TO GO SEE THE BATTLE AND HE WAS TALKING
TO THE OLDEST SON ELIAB AND ELIAB SAID,
"HUH, WITH WHO HAVE YOU LEFT THOSE FEW SHEEP THAT YOU TEND?"
ANNOYING LITTLE SMART ALEC.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: WHAT WAS HE TRYING TO DO?
HE WAS TRYING TO DIMINISH DAVID.
HE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO THINK THAT HE HAD ANY WORTH AND VALUE
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GO DO ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT SEEM TO BE IMPORTANT.
"WELL, WITH WHOM HAVE YOU LEFT THOSE FEW SHEEP?"
DON'T LET ANYBODY DIMINISH YOU.
DON'T LET ANYBODY MINIMIZE YOU OR MAKE YOU FEEL LITTLE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: "OH, YOU MEAN YOU'RE JUST A STAY-AT-HOME MOTHER?"
"NO, I AM A STAY-AT-HOME MOTHER.
I AM RAISING GIANTS FOR GOD."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: "OH, YOU MEAN YOU JUST CLEAN HOMES FOR OTHER PEOPLE?"
"NO, I AM A SERVANT OF THE LIVING GOD.
GOD HAS GIVEN ME A GIFT OF HELPS AND I ENJOY DOING
WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO DO."
DON'T LET PEOPLE MINIMIZE YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL LITTLE
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING THE WORLD THINKS
IS BIG BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T SEE THE WAY THE WORLD SEES.
YOU KNOW THE ONLY THING THAT GOD CARES ABOUT: ARE YOU DOING
THE PART THAT GOD HAS ASKED YOU TO DO?
IF YOU'RE DOING THE PART THAT GOD HAS ASKED YOU TO DO, THEN
YOU ARE EQUAL TO ANYBODY ELSE DOING ANYTHING, DOESN'T MATTER.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: DAVID WAS JUST OUT DOING WHAT GOD WANTED HIM TO DO,
JUST DOING THE PART THAT GOD WANTED HIM TO DO
AND, LO AND BEHOLD, HE WAS PICKED TO BE KING.
IF YOU'RE JUST DOING THE PART THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO, YOU
NEVER KNOW WHEN GOD MAY COME AND NAB YOU FOR SOMETHING GREATER.
AMEN?
SO ANYWAY, ELIAB, "WITH WHOM HAVE YOU LEFT THOSE FEW SHEEP?
I KNOW YOUR HEART, YOU JUST CAME HERE TO SEE THE BATTLE..."
DAVID LOOKED AT ELIAB AND SAID, "WHAT HAVE I DONE NOW?"
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TELLS ME?
HE WAS USED TO THAT.
HE WAS USED TO THOSE BROTHERS RAGGING ON HIM ALL THE TIME
AND GIVING HIM A HARD TIME.
AND THEN I LOVE THIS.
I LOVE THIS.
THE VERY NEXT VERSE SAYS, "AND DAVID TURNED AWAY FROM ELIAB,"
SO POWERFUL.
CHAMPIONS REFUSE TO TAKE OFFENSE.
HE REFUSED TO TAKE OFFENSE.
HE GOT TESTED.
HE GOT TESTED AGAIN.
YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING
FOR GOD AND NEVER GET TESTED?
A LOT OF THE SITUATIONS THAT YOU GET IN THAT YOU THINK ARE
SO DEMONIC, GOD HAS PLOPPED YOU RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THAT SITUATION JUST TO SEE IF YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: CHAMPIONS REFUSE TO BE OFFENDED.
THEY WILL NOT TAKE OFFENSE.
THE BIBLE SAYS IN MATTHEW 5:23 AND 24, "LEAVE YOUR GIFT
AT THE ALTAR AND GO AND FIRST MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR BROTHER,
THEN COME BACK AND OFFER YOUR GIFT TO GOD."
GOD DOESN'T WANT US OFFERING HIM WORSHIP OR TRYING TO GIVE HIM
OUR ACTS OF SERVICE OR ANYTHING ELSE IF WE'RE GONNA COME
WITH OFFENSE IN OUR HEARTS.
NOW LET'S TALK A MINUTE ABOUT COVERING OFFENSES.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS
IN 1 PETER 4:8.
LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS.
WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THAT MEAN?
TO COVER MEANS TO CONCEAL, TO CLOSE, TO HIDE
OR TO KEEP A SECRET.
HMM?
GENESIS 9:22.
NOW NOAH, AFTER THE ARK DOCKED AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF
IT, THEY PLANTED SOME VINEYARDS AND HE DRANK TOO MUCH WINE
AND GOT DRUNK, AND WAS LAYIN' IN HIS TENT NAKED.
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY GRAPHIC, YOU KNOW IT?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: VERSE 21, "AND HE DRANK OF THE WINE AND BECAME
DRUNK, AND HE WAS UNCOVERED AND LAY NAKED IN HIS TENT.
AND HAM, THE FATHER OF CANAAN, WHO WAS ONE OF THE SONS OF NOAH,
GLANCED AT AND SAW THE NAKEDNESS OF HIS FATHER AND WENT OUT
AND TOLD HIS TWO BROTHERS."
"HA! DAD'S IN THEIR DRUNK AND DON'T HAVE HIS CLOTHES ON.
COME CHECK THIS OUT."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "SO SHEM AND JAPHETH," I LOVE THIS, "TOOK A GARMENT,
LAID IT UPON THE SHOULDERS OF BOTH OF THEM, AND WENT BACKWARD
INTO THE TENT AND COVERED THE NAKEDNESS OF THEIR FATHER;
AND THEIR FACES WENT BACKWARD, AND THEY DID NOT SEE
THEIR FATHER'S NAKEDNESS."
NOW HIS NAKEDNESS JUST REPRESENTS HIS WRONGDOING.
SO ONE SON UNCOVERED IT BY TELLING IT; TWO SONS
WENT IN AND COVERED HIM.
NOW IF YOU GO AHEAD AND READ THIS, THE ONE SON,
WHO TOLD IT AND UNCOVERED IT AND BLABBED IT TO OTHER PEOPLE,
GOT A CURSE PUT ON HIM.
THE TWO SONS THAT COVERED THEIR FATHER WERE BOTH INDIVIDUALLY
BLESSED BY THEIR FATHER.
WE CAN RECEIVE A BLESSING FROM GOD JUST IF WE ARE WILLING
TO NOT TELL THE BAD THINGS THAT WE SEE OTHER PEOPLE DO
BUT PRAY FOR THEM, ZIP OUR LIP AND COVER THEIR OFFENSE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: MY, MY, MY.
SO I'M A PRAY FOR MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME, I PRAY THAT YOU'D FORGIVE ME FOR EVERY
TIME THAT I HAVE TOLD SOMEBODY ELSE SOMETHING THAT UNCOVERED
A PERSON'S WEAKNESS, AND I ASK YOU TO COMPLETELY FORGIVE ME
AND GIVE ME A FRESH START.
NOW, WHO ELSE NEEDS THAT PRAYER?
FATHER, I PRAY FOR ALL OF US THAT YOU'D FORGIVE ALL OF US
FOR UNCOVERING OUR BROTHERS' AND SISTERS' WEAKNESSES,
FOR TELLING THEIR SECRETS, FOR GOING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND
TELLING THEM WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
FORGIVE US, GOD, HELP US NOT TO DO IT IN THE FUTURE
AND GIVE US A BRAND-NEW START.
AMEN.
NOW NOBODY NEEDS TO BE CONDEMNED.
WE GOT A FRESH START, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
WE JUST GET THE BIGGEST PERVERTED KICK OUT OF
TELLING STUFF, DON'T WE?
"YOU WON'T BELIEVE."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "YOU JUST WON'T BELIEVE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: AND THE SAD THING IS IS EVERY TIME SOMEBODY TELLS
SOMETHING, YOU GET A LITTLE BIT ADDED TO IT.
BY THE TIME IT GETS THROUGH 20 PEOPLE, MAN.
LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS.
LET'S LOOK AT MATTHEW, 18:15.
WE DOING, OKAY?
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: OH, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
I HOPE SOMEBODY GETS THIS.
MATTHEW IS TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE
WHO HAVE OFFENDED YOU OR THERE'S SOMETHING BETWEEN YOU AND THEM
THAT NEEDS TO BE SETTLED.
AND HE SAYS, "IF YOUR BROTHER WRONGS YOU, GO AND SHOW HIM
HIS FAULT BETWEEN YOU AND HIM PRIVATELY.
IF HE LISTENS TO YOU, YOU'VE WON BACK YOUR BROTHER."
THEN HE GOES ON AND HE SAYS, "IF WON'T LISTEN, THEN GO TO
TWO OTHERS AND THEN IF HE WON'T LISTEN, TAKE IT TO THE CHURCH."
SO THERE'S A PATTERN THERE TO FOLLOW.
BUT HONESTLY AND TRULY, I BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE TIME,
MOST PEOPLE GO TELL SOMEBODY ELSE.
THEY NEVER GET AROUND TO GOING TO THE BROTHER, BUT THEY
TELL ALL KINDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
I WONDER HOW MUCH TROUBLE WOULD BE AVOIDED IF WE WOULD
JUST GO TO SOMEBODY OURSELF AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS BUGGING ME SO WE JUST NEED TO TALK ABOUT.
I MAY BE TOTALLY WRONG.
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN--MAYBE DIDN'T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING BY IT,
BUT THE DEVIL KEEPS ANNOYING ME WITH IT SO I'D JUST LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT."
AND I WOULD SAY A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, THINGS COULD
BE SETTLED RIGHT THERE, BUT WE CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS WHEN
WE KEEP GOING TO OTHER PEOPLE, TELLING THEM, TELLING THEM,
TELLING THEM, TELLING THEM, TELLING THEM.
AND HERE'S THE THING, THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYBODY
FEELING CONDEMNED.
THERE'S NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE IN CHRIST.
THIS IS JUST ABOUT SO WE CAN COME UP HIGHER AND ENJOY MORE
OF THE GREAT LIFE THAT JESUS HAS PLANNED FOR US.
MAN, I WANT TO CARRY A STRONG ANOINTING ON MY LIFE.
I WANT EVERY BLESSING THAT I CAN POSSIBLY HAVE.
WE NEED MORE AND MORE OF GOD'S GRACE, HIS UNDESERVED FAVOR,
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP US REALLY HANDLE SITUATIONS
WITH PEOPLE IN A BIBLICAL, GODLY WAY AND NOT JUST
IN A CARNAL FLESHLY WAY.
AND THE ONLY WAY THAT I KNOW TO HELP PEOPLE IS TO CONFRONT
THE PROBLEM AND SAY, "HEY, IF YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS,
THAT'S WONDERFUL, YEA.
BUT IF YOU ARE OR IF YOU'RE EVEN TEMPTED TO, THEN PLEASE
TAKE THIS WORD OF TRUTH, DON'T GO AWAY CONDEMNED BUT SAY,
MAN, 'GOD, NEEDED THAT.
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT OUT 'CAUSE I DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW I WAS DOING IT.'" HOW MANY TIMES
DO WE NOT EVEN KNOW THAT-- LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW, SITTING RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE SITTING
TONIGHT, THOSE OF YOU WATCHING BY TV, YOU CAN SLIP YOUR
LITTLE HAND UP TOO AND YOU GOT A BENEFIT,
NOBODY'S GONNA SEE YOU.
WE'RE GONNA SEE THESE PEOPLE.
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD SAY THAT YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE SITTING
RIGHT NOW THAT YOU WALKED IN HERE TONIGHT WITH SOME OFFENSE
IN YOUR HEART, SOMEWHERE BUT YOU REALLY DIDN'T EVEN SEE OR
UNDERSTAND WHAT A PROBLEM IT WAS UNTIL HEARING WHAT I'VE SAID?
LET'S SEE YOUR HAND.
OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT IS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, ABOUT 98% OF THE PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO PREACH THESE KINDS OF THINGS BECAUSE
GOD SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR US THAT WE MIGHT HAVE AND ENJOY OUR
LIFE AND HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE TO THE FULL UNTIL IT OVERFLOWS.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND I LOVE BEING CONFRONTED BY THE TRUTH.
I LOVE A WORD THAT HELPS ME IMPROVE.
I LOVE A WORD THAT PRODS ME TO A HIGHER LEVEL.
LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: LOVE IS NOT TOUCHY.
LOVE IS NOT FRETFUL.
LOVE IS NOT RESENTFUL.
PEOPLE EASILY OFFENDED ARE SELFISH BECAUSE ANYTIME
THEY DON'T GET THEIR WAY, THEY GET OFFENDED.
PEOPLE EASILY OFFENDED ARE INSECURE.
THEIR LOVE TANK IS EMPTY AND WHEN THEY DON'T GET THEIR WAY,
THEY FEEL REJECTED.
PEOPLE EASILY OFFENDED ARE NEGATIVE.
THEY ALWAYS BELIEVE THE WORST WHEN THEY SHOULD
BELIEVE THE BEST.
PEOPLE EASILY OFFENDED ARE AN EASY MARK FOR SATAN.
HE BAITS THE TRAP AND THEY TAKE THE BAIT EVERY TIME.
PEOPLE EASILY OFFENDED ARE MISERABLE BECAUSE BEING OFFENDED
MAKES YOU MORE MISERABLE THAN IT DOES THE PERSON
OR THE THING YOU'RE OFFENDED AT.
BEING EASILY OFFENDED HINDERS GOD'S PLAN
FOR THAT PERSON'S LIFE.
THEY CANNOT GO FORWARD WITH WRONG THINGS IN THEIR HEART.
THEY HAVE STUMBLED AND FALLEN.
PEOPLE THAT ARE EASILY OFFENDED ARE UNWISE.
ANYTIME GOD TELLS US IN HIS WORD NOT DO SOMETHING AND
WE DO IT ANYWAY, IT IS UNWISE.
PEOPLE THAT ARE EASILY OFFENDED ARE NOT FREE BECAUSE ANYBODY
THAT IS ANGRY IS NOT FREE.
IF WE ARE ANGRY, WE ARE NOT FREE.
THAT ANGER IS CONTROLLING US.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WE PAY A HIGH PRICE FOR SOMETHING THAT'S USELESS,
DON'T WE?
EVERYBODY SAY, "OFFENSE IS USELESS."
AUDIENCE: OFFENSE IS USELESS.
JOYCE: "CHAMPIONS REFUSE."
AUDIENCE: CHAMPIONS REFUSE.
JOYCE: "TO BE OFFENDED."
AUDIENCE: TO BE OFFENDED.
JOYCE: WELL, IF SOMEONE HURTS YOUR FEELINGS OR OFFENDS YOU,
THE THING TO DO IS FORGIVE THEM AND LET IT GO AS QUICK AS YOU
POSSIBLY CAN.
IF YOU HANG ON IT TO, YOU'RE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF.
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST AND THAT YOU ARE TO DO THINGS
THE SAME WAY THAT JESUS DOES THEM, AND HE FORGIVES US OVER
AND OVER AND WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE
IN OUR LIFE.
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS
THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.
IT STRENGTHENS YOU EVEN LIKE IN THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, FORGIVING
PEOPLE CAN SOMETIMES BE HARD BUT THE WORD OF GOD STRENGTHENS US
TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT GOD WANTS US DO.
SO TODAY, WE'RE OFFERING YOU RESOURCES, "OVERCOME THE ENEMY
WITH GOD'S TRUTH," FOUR TEACHINGS.
DON'T LET THE DEVIL RULE YOUR LIFE WITH LIES.
KNOW THE TRUTH AND APPLY THE TRUTH.
AND THEN A LITTLE BOOKLET CALLED, "FACING TRUTH."
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FACE TRUTH BUT
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IT'S THE TRUTH THAT WILL MAKE US FREE.
GOD WANTS TO SET YOU FREE FROM MANY THINGS AND BEING OFFENDED
IS ONE OF THEM.
HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU PEACE AND I BELIEVE THESE RESOURCES WILL
HELP YOU WITH THAT.
NOW, DON'T GO AWAY BECAUSE I'LL BE RIGHT BACK IN JUST A MINUTE
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME
AND THE MINISTRY.
ANNOUNCER: GOD'S TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE IN EVERY AREA OF
YOUR LIFE AND JOYCE WANTS TO TEACH YOU HOW.
