Quotations and sayings

01Undated

We want our marriage to be a triumph, not a tragedy.

Joyce Meyer / quote

02Undated

Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn't. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.

Joyce Meyer / quote

03Undated

Humility may well be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us - and to maintain. That's because without humility, it's not likely that you will put your complete trust in God.

Joyce Meyer / quote

04Undated

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves - to the devil - because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Joyce Meyer / quote

05Undated

I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything... to know what's going on so I can feel like I'm in control.

Joyce Meyer / quote

06Undated

When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can't budge you from believing God, he won't know what to do with you anymore.

Joyce Meyer / quote

07Undated

When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you 'You're no good,' you don't have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.

Joyce Meyer / quote

08Undated

Forgiveness is not a feeling - it's a decision we make because we want to do what's right before God. It's a quality decision that won't be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.

Joyce Meyer / quote

09Undated

Forgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.

Joyce Meyer / quote

10Undated

Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

Joyce Meyer / quote

11Undated

Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.

Joyce Meyer / quote

12Undated

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn't taught by men - it's a gift from God.

Joyce Meyer / quote

13Undated

Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.

Joyce Meyer / quote

14Undated

I tell people, and it's the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won't make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won't make you a servant of Christ.

Joyce Meyer / quote

15Undated

When your soul is resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace with God, not resisting what He's doing.

Joyce Meyer / quote

16Undated

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

Joyce Meyer / quote

17Undated

It seems like a lot of people seek their peace in things. And most of us are not even satisfied with the things we have... we always want more.

Joyce Meyer / quote

18Undated

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

Joyce Meyer / quote

19Undated

What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we're too religious, we won't be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.

Joyce Meyer / quote

20Undated

In my relationship with God, I've learned that if I follow a 'formula' for how I spend my time with Him, then I'm just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.

Joyce Meyer / quote

21Undated

We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.

Joyce Meyer / quote

22Undated

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian's relationship with God. It's how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they're not satisfied with their prayer life.

Joyce Meyer / quote

23Undated

People who don't know the true character of God - who don't believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger - can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

Joyce Meyer / quote

24Undated

The truth is God created us to have relationship with us. He wants to love us and take care of us, and He wants us to love Him. That's where our walk with Christ has to start.

Joyce Meyer / quote
