GO TOWARD THE POSITIVE BY JOYCE MEYER

JOYCE MEYER HAD TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE MY PROJECT HAS BEEN: I’M GOING TO REALLY TRY TO BE POSITIVE TODAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. I RARELY EVER GET PAST THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF THE DAY BEFORE I FALL OFF INTO THE DITCH AGAIN. I AM TELLING YOU, THERE IS THAT OLD NATURE THAT DIED WITH CHRIST ON THE CROSS BUT STILL TRIES TO GET A RESURRECTION EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.  JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES STATES YOU HAVE TO TRY NOT TO BE NEGATIVE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO BE NEGATIVE BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY TO BE POSITIVE. ISN’T THAT AMAZING? YOU REALLY DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO BE NEGATIVE — YOU JUST WILL BE IF YOU DON’T DECIDE TO BE POSITIVE.

JOYCE MEYER ONLINE. THERE MAY BE A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE HERE TODAY THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE “UP” PEOPLE, THAT EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS JUST SUNSHINE AND FLOWERS. YOU WAKE UP EVERY DAY SINGING, OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING. THEN THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU LIKE ME TOO, SO I’LL JUST PREACH TO ALL OF YOU AND ALL OF YOU POSITIVE ONES CAN PRAY FOR US. THINK ABOUT IT — YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO BE NEGATIVE. I WAS TALKING TO DAVE THIS MORNING AND I SAID… I AM REVEALING SOME OF THESE THINGS ABOUT ME TO YOU SO YOU KNOW THAT WE FIGHT THE SAME BATTLES THAT YOU DO. YEARS AGO I DIDN’T KNOW THAT I COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY THOUGHTS.

JOYCE MEYER BEGAN TO NOTICE AFTER I BECAME A CHRISTIAN THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING, BEFORE YOU’RE HARDLY EVEN AWAKE, IT’S LIKE THE DEVIL WILL MAKE A BID FOR YOUR MIND AND YOUR THOUGHTS. IF YOU DON’T GET A HANDLE ON IT EARLY, SOMETIMES THE WHOLE DAY CAN GO SOUR JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU BEGIN TO THINK EARLY IN THE MORNING. WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT THREE OF MY KIDS CAN BE DOING AWESOME, I MEAN WONDERFUL. JOYCE MEYER ONLINE. ONE OF THEM CAN BE NOT DOING SO WELL. WHICH ONE AM I INCLINED TO THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? WHY DON’T WE THINK ABOUT THE THREE THAT ARE DOING SO WONDERFUL? WHY DO OUR THOUGHTS ALWAYS GO TOWARD THE PROBLEM? WHY DOESN’T IT JUST GO TOWARD THE POSITIVE?
