Quotes from Joyce Meyer

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

There's a part of you - the born-again part, your spirit - that's dead to sin. That's why it bothers you now when you sin. The 'wilderness' part of you - your soul - is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

Real life is the life that's in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you're in relationship with.

We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.

We need to live the life that we say we believe in.

You are a preacher! Maybe not with your mouth all the time like me, but as a believer in Christ, your life is a living sermon.

My purpose in life is to do right and to glorify God.

Don't just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.

I like gifts. I like to give them and I like to get them.

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

I don't think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.

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.

Extremely religious, legalistic people have a criticism or judgment about everyone and everything. They just have a way of bringing people down with what they say.
