Emotions and Fatigue
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
I have often heard that after a person goes through a real emotional high, he will usually bottom out with an emotional low. We see this in the life of Elijah the prophet in the book of 1 Kings.

Feelings or Decision?
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
Remember, feelings are part of the soul which is often said to be composed of the mind, will, and emotions. When we are born again, we are not told to stop thinking. We are just told to start thinking a new way.

Emotionless
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
Someone who is emotionless is lacking emotion - unable to show emotion; one who feels no emotion, or very little emotion. Many times when people have been hurt badly in their past, they develop a hard core within and build up high walls without to protect

Emotionalism
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
The term emotionalism is used to describe a tendency to rely on or place too much value on emotion. Often it is defined as an excessive display of emotion. An emotionalist is one whose conduct is ruled by emotion as opposed to reason.

Emotional People
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
An emotional person is someone who is easily affected with or stirred by emotions. It is good to know ourselves and our personalities. Some people are more emotionally led than others, and knowing this can prevent lots of heartache and pain in life.

How Not To Be Led By Your Feelings
Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions Managing You
by Joyce Meyer
There are several definitions of the word emotions. According to Webster's dictionary, the root source of this term is the Latin ex-movere, meaning to move away. I find that definition very interesting because that is what carnal, uncrucified emotions try

God Loves You!
Life in the Word Devotional
by Joyce Meyer
God loves you! You are special to Him. God doesn't love you because you are a good person or do everything right. He loves you because He is love. Love is not something God does; it is something He is. It is His nature. Gods love is pure and ever flowing.

Trust Completely In God
Knowing God Intimately: Being as Close to Him As You Want to Be
by Joyce Meyer
I remember when the Lord told me to quit my fulltime job where I was making as much money as my husband. In addition, I was the boss, so I enjoyed many benefits because of my high position. But the Lord began to deal with me

Time with God Is a Vital Necessity
Knowing God Intimately: Being as Close to Him As You Want to Be
by Joyce Meyer
We may have to deal sternly with our flesh to resist the spirit of passivity that tries to keep us from growing in the knowledge of God. A commitment to spend time with God is as serious as any commitment that we could ever make.

Relationship Requires Commitment
Knowing God Intimately: Being as Close to Him As You Want to Be
by Joyce Meyer
But only Moses went to the top of the mountain and into the intimate presence of God. It is clear from Scripture that Moses had taken great personal sacrifices and risks to obey God. He had turned down opportunities for personal promotion in order to see

You Are As Close To God As You Want To Be
Knowing God Intimately: Being as Close to Him As You Want to Be
by Joyce Meyer
It's obvious that some people are closer to God than others. Some people have a reverent familiarity with God that seems foreign to other Christians. These close friends of God share stories of talking to Him as if they know Him personally.

Something Seems to Be Missing
Knowing God Intimately: Being as Close to Him As You Want to Be
by Joyce Meyer
I remember the emptiness I felt in 1976 when, as a young Christian, I realized that doing the right things brought temporary happiness but not deep, satisfying joy. In those early days of my friendship with God, I could only see Him from a distance

Part 1
Jesus: Name Above All Names: Releasing His Anointing in Your Life
by Joyce Meyer
Imagine what it would be like to have so much power that your circumstances could not defeat you-power so great that its strength, its force cannot even be measured. In this passage, the apostle Paul tells us that is exactly what is available to us

The Gospel of Jesus Brings Peace
In Pursuit of Peace: 21 Ways to Conquer Anxiety, Fear, and Discontentment
by Joyce Meyer
I want to see people love God's Word and put it first place in their lives. I believe there is an anointing on the Word; it has inherent power that makes positive changes in us. The Word of God is truth, and John 8:32 says, And you will know the Truth

Be a Disciple of Jesus
In Pursuit of Peace: 21 Ways to Conquer Anxiety, Fear, and Discontentment
by Joyce Meyer
Jesus said, If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Mark 8:34 NIV). If we want to have peace, we have to stop following other voices; we must be God pleasers, not man pleasers, and we must choose to follow

Peacekeeper #1
In Pursuit of Peace: 21 Ways to Conquer Anxiety, Fear, and Discontentment
by Joyce Meyer
God wants us to enjoy life and see good days. In fact, God's Word tells us to search for peace, and seek it eagerly (see 1 Peter 3:11). We are not to merely desire peaceful relations with God, with our fellow men, and with ourselves

Part 1
If Not for the Grace of God: Learning to Live Independent of Frustrations and Struggles
by Joyce Meyer
As we begin our study of the grace of God, I would like to share with you briefly about the condition that my life was in when the Lord first began to give me a revelation about what grace actually is.

Acceptance or Rejection?
How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny
by Joyce Meyer
Rejecting ourselves does not change us, it actually multiplies our problems. Acceptance causes us to face reality and then begin to deal with it. We cannot deal with anything as long as we are refusing to accept it or denying its reality.

Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself
How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny
by Joyce Meyer
While I was seeking answers to my problems, the Holy Spirit opened up to me Galatians 5:14 in a way I had never seen or heard before. I was experiencing marriage problems. My husband and I were not getting along - it seemed we couldn't agree on anything

Self-Acceptance
How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny
by Joyce Meyer
Do you like yourself? Most people don't like themselves, you know. I have many years of experience with people, trying to help them be whole emotionally, mentally, spiritually and socially I felt it was a major breakthrough when I simply discovered
