Sermon for today by Joyce Meyer : What Do You Believe?

Topic : What Do You Believe?

Our personal beliefs can greatly affect our level of joy and happiness.

We need to believe that God loves us and that we have a purpose in life. Purposeless people are frequently very unhappy as well as people who feel unloved.

You are loved and God has His eye on you at all times. He has a good plan for your life and He needs you to fulfill your role in His master plan.

Do you believe that there is hope for change no matter what your current circumstances are? I have found that
hopeful people are some of the happiest people in the world.

Hope is powerful. Consider the following Scriptures:
Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.

And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or
shames us…
Romans 5:3–5a

If we will believe that our troubles are working strong character and tried integrity in us, then we can have confident hope and joy even in the midst of them. People who can remain happy no matter what their circumstances are powerful
indeed.

Examine your belief system and see if some of your own beliefs are contributing to a lack of happiness in your life. Are
you trusting (believing) God in all areas of life? The Bible says in Romans 15:13 that joy and peace are found in believing.

What do you believe about yourself? If you believe you are a failure, unloved, worthless, and that it is too late for you
to have a good life, then you must change what you believe about you.

Believe what God says about you in His Word, not what others have told you, or even how you merely feel.Change your mind and begin to believe things that will increase your joy.
