Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series,

What is Faith and How does it work?

Faith is how we're able to trust what we cannot see.

When we put our faith in God and choose to believe His word as truth for our daily lives,

it means we are trusting his will for us.

Faith is what allows God's power to work in our lives.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Let me give you an example concerning the words of your mouth. I believe that when we

talk the way we're supposed to, being careful, not to be critical and downgrading of other people and being more careful about just saying

negative things, I think it adds to our joy.

I think we just have happier days.

You know, the Bible says a man has joy in making a right and an apt answer.

And I also believe that sometimes when people are depressed and they're just having a bad day and they just feel all down

and they're like I don't know what's wrong I just got a heaviness and yeah get a repeat the devil.

I think a lot of it's caused just by the way we talk.

Come on, you're not going to go to church on Sunday,

sit at the lunch table at work on Monday

and gossip about everybody at the office

and then go home and feel happy.

Come on I'm preaching better than you're acting. We're in the world. We're not of it. You don't get to act like everybody else.

Amen. act like everybody else. Amen?
