THE BLESSINGS OF GOD BY JOYCE MEYER

HE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE PROPHETIC. PROPHETS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROPHETS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. DAVID WAS THE ONLY KING WHO BECAME PROPHETIC. IT WAS OUT OF HIS INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BECAUSE OF HIS EXTREME UNDERSTANDING OF AUTHORITY. THE OTHER THING THAT SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY DOES IS… JOYCE MEYER, I’M GOING TO SPEAK MORE OUT OF EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I’VE BEEN IN THE MINISTRY NOW FOR 25 YEARS. I’VE WATCHED PEOPLE OVER THE LONG RUN THAT HAVE KEPT GOOD ATTITUDES TOWARD AUTHORITY EVEN WHEN THEY WERE MISTREATED. OKAY?

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SUBMISSION AGAIN; NOT OBEYING COMMANDS TO SIN. I’VE WATCHED THEM. THEIR FINANCES HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVABLY BLESSED; THEY HAVE BEEN PROMOTED; THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE. YOU WILL SEE PROVISION FROM GOD WHEN YOU RESPECT HIS AUTHORITY. YOU WILL SEE PROTECTION FROM GOD WHEN YOU RESPECT HIS AUTHORITY. JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES STATES THAT NOW SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE THE VERY OPPOSITE. YOU THINK: IF I HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE TOWARDS THIS JERK OF A LEADER, AM I GOING TO GET PROTECTED?  YES, YOU ARE. THIS IS THE THING. GOD SAYS, “MY WAYS AREN’T YOUR WAYS. MY WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS.” THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WITH TODAY, JOYCE.

(Joyce Meyer Online) WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MORE ANSWERS FOR THEM IN JUST A MINUTE. STAY WITH US AND WHEN WE COME BACK WE’RE GOING TO TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICAL WAYS THAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS STAY UNDER GOD’S COVERING.

(man) I’VE WALKED THIS SIDEWALK FOR YEARS, SEEN A MILLION FACES, A MILLION LIVES, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WANTS SOMETHING: WANT TO BE RICH, THEY WANT TO BE FAMOUS, WANT A BIGGER HOUSE OR A FASTER CAR. IT’S NOT UNTIL WE WISE UP AND REALIZE THAT TRUE HAPPINESS, TRUE FULFILLMENT ONLY COMES WHEN WE’RE LIVING UNDER THE BLESSINGS OF GOD.
