Joyce Meyer quotes - page 9

I used to worry about every little thing, trying to figure out every problem. Well, I realize now how foolish that was. I was no more in control of my life than the man on the moon. (Joyce Meyer)
The Bible tells us to be perfect. This is likely a scary thought for many people. It used to scare me. I didn't think I could ever get there, no matter how hard I tried. View quote
Joyce Meyer
When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him. View quote
Joyce Meyer
If your inner life is not producing what you would like on the outside, don't be discouraged... just be willing to change. View quote
Joyce Meyer
I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us. View quote
Joyce Meyer
The flesh, or human nature, is generally lazy and self-centered. View quote
Joyce Meyer
It seems like a lot of people seek their peace in things. And most of us are not even satisfied with the things we have... we always want more. View quote
Joyce Meyer
I'm amazed sometimes by the Christians who don't really believe that God wants to help them and bless them. View quote
Joyce Meyer
One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have. View quote
Joyce Meyer
I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, 'God is not mad at you.' Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, 'That is exactly what I needed to hear today.' Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

Joyce Meyer
Your emotions are very unstable and should never be the foundation for direction in your life. (Joyce Meyer)
Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn't know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn't even smell like smoke. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. View quote
Joyce Meyer
God wants to help us... He loves us... we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us - more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings. View quote
Joyce Meyer
I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything... to know what's going on so I can feel like I'm in control. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Perfectionists demand perfection from themselves first and foremost. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Humility is not something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be pursued more than any other. View quote
Joyce Meyer
I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we're on. We can't have any understanding of it, because we're not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Jesus is a divine guest inside of you all the time - one who loves, understands, sees and hears you. He wants to live in oneness with you... to be the centerpiece of everything you do. (Joyce Meyer)
What's real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did. View quote
Joyce Meyer
If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future. View quote
Joyce Meyer
Do you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real - it happened when he was in Hell. View quote
Joyce Meyer
There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell. View quote
