Children of God by Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer Ministries states that Dave found out after marrying me that I don’t wake up in the morning looking like this. He didn’t know that when we got married. Some guys marry somebody that they think is beautiful and get up the next morning and find her face on the pillow.

I better behave this morning or I’m not going to get my message done. Philippians 2:14: Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining… –And this is interesting; the amplified says: against God. So, see really when we grumble and complain, God takes it personally because we say we’re his children and we’re trusting him and we believe he’s our provider and he’s our source, and then we complain and we murmur about so many things in our life.

Then it goes on and it tells us why we should not complain in verse 15: That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated children of God in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. He’s saying for one thing, if I could just find a group of people who will get out in the world and not complain like all the worldly people… How many people in your job complain about the job? Okay, well, you know what?

Joyce Meyer Online – You should not do that. You should say: Well, there are things here that I’d like to see changed, but you know what? I’m thankful I’ve got a job because there are a lot of people who don’t have one at all. We’re in the world, but we’re not supposed to be of it. Go to Deuteronomy chapter 1. Why do some people have so many problems, and they seem to never get over their problems? No matter what they do, there’s another problem, another problem, another problem. Could it be connected to their mouth? I wonder. Sometimes your answer is right under your nose and you just don’t know it.

Joyce Meyer – It’s one thing to do witnessing — to have a project where once a week you go out with a group of people and try to tell people about Jesus — but I think it’s far better to be a witness everywhere you go, to be prayerful, and to take every opportunity that god gives you to speak a word for him.
