I think a lot of people believe that they have to be poor to serve God, that they can't have anything. They don't really even know how to give. And one of the main principles in the Bible is you'll reap what you sew, and that if you give into the lives of others, that it shall be given back to you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together. If you go plant one tomato seed, you don't get back one tomato; you get a vine of tomatoes.
Joyce MeyerDon't do what's right to get something. Do the right thing because it's the right thing.
Joyce MeyerAnything that God wants you to have, there's no devil in hell and no person on earth that can keep you from having it if you just won't quit and give up.
Joyce MeyerToday we are going to talk about words. You know, words are containers for power. They carry creative or destructive power. They carry positive or negative power. We can choose our words and we should do it carefully.
