ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
JOYCE: YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT I FOUND OUT?
WE DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
I MEAN, THAT'S JUST THE BOTTOM LINE.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,
YOU WILL FIND THE TIME TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM.
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: OKAY, HERE WE COME, VERSE 13, "FOOD [IS INTENDED]
FOR THE STOMACH AND THE STOMACH FOR FOOD, BUT GOD WILL FINALLY
END [THE FUNCTIONS OF] BOTH AND BRING THEM TO NOTHING."
IT'S KIND AN INTERESTING SCRIPTURE.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE HE'S SAYING, YOU KNOW, JUST GET OVER MAKING
SO MUCH OUT OF FOOD ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, WE NEED TO EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT.
AND I LIKE FOOD.
I LOVE WHAT I EAT BUT IT'S A SCRIPTURE SO I READ IT.
"THE BODY'S NOT INTENDED--" NOW HERE WE'RE GONNA--
"THE BODY IS NOT INTENDED FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY,
BUT [IS INTENDED] FOR THE LORD."
EVERYBODY SAY, "MY BODY BELONGS TO THE LORD."
AUDIENCE: MY BODY BELONGS TO THE LORD.
JOYCE: "AND THE LORD [IS INTENDED] FOR THE BODY
[TO SAVE, SANCTIFY, AND RAISE IT AGAIN].
AND GOD BOTH RAISED THE LORD TO LIFE AND WILL ALSO RAISE US UP
BY HIS POWER.
DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR BODIES ARE MEMBERS
AND (BODILY PARTS) OF CHRIST (THE MESSIAH)?"
IN OTHER WORDS YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT IS THAT TALKING ABOUT?"
WELL, YOU'RE HIS HANDS.
YOU'RE HIS FEET.
HE DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE IF WE DON'T TAKE HIM.
TODAY, I'M HIS MOUTH.
HE'S SPEAKING TO YOU THROUGH ME.
HE'S SPEAKS TO OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH YOU.
YOUR BODY ARE PARTS OF CHRIST.
HE LOVES PEOPLE THROUGH YOU.
HE SPEAKS TO PEOPLE THROUGH YOU.
"AM I THEREFORE TO TAKE THE PARTS OF CHRIST AND MAKE
[THEM] PARTS OF A PROSTITUTE?
NEVER!
NEVER!
OR DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT WHEN A MAN JOINS HIMSELF TO
A PROSTITUTE, HE BECOMES ONE BODY WITH HER?
THE TWO, IT IS WRITTEN, SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.
BUT THE PERSON WHO IS UNITED TO THE LORD BECOMES ONE SPIRIT
WITH HIM.
SHUN IMMORALITY AND ALL SEXUAL LOOSENESS."
MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS STUFF IN CHURCH FOR A WHILE.
IT'S TIME YOU DO.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SEXUAL IMMORALITY THERE IS IN
THE WORLD TODAY?
AND THE VIEW THAT PEOPLE TAKE ON IT TODAY COMPARED--PEOPLE AREN'T
EVEN ASHAMED OF IT NOW.
PROUD OF IT.
NOT A BIG DEAL.
I MEAN, IF NOTHING ELSE, TELEVISION TEACHES EVERYBODY TO
HAVE ONE DATE AND JUMP IN BED.
"SHUN IMMORALITY AND ALL SEXUAL LOOSENESS [FLEE FROM IMPURITY IN
THOUGHT, WORD, OR DEED].
ANY OTHER SIN WHICH A MAN COMMITS IS ONE OUTSIDE THE BODY,
BUT HE WHO COMMITS SEXUAL IMMORALITY SINS AGAINST HIS
OWN BODY."
AND YES, THANK GOD WE CAN BE FORGIVEN FOR SIN.
I WANT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY HERE TO BE
CONDEMNED.
"WELL, DID THIS AND I DID THAT."
BUT I AM WANTING YOU, IF YOU ARE DOING IT NOW, TO STOP IT.
AND I DO WANT YOU, IF YOU CONSIDER DOING IT, TO DECIDE NOT
TO BECAUSE THE LIFE THAT WE LIVE HERE IS VERY SHORT AND BEFORE
WE KNOW IT, WE ARE GOING TO FACE THE LORD.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW POPULAR THIS MESSAGE IS GONNA BE WHEN IT
GETS ON TV, BUT DON'T TURN YOUR SET OFF.
JUST KEEP WATCHING.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: 'CAUSE I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IF WE WERE HEARING
MORE OF THIS KIND OF STUFF JUST STRAIGHTFORWARD WHAT IT SAYS IN
THE WORD, THERE WOULD BE A LOT LESS PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD
TODAY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE TO TELL
EVERYBODY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO HEAR.
"DO YOU NOT KNOW," VERSE 19, "THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE
(THE VERY SANCTUARY) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
WHO LIVES WITHIN YOU, WHOM YOU HAVE RECEIVED
[AS A GIFT] FROM GOD?
YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN, YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE [PURCHASED
WITH A PRECIOUSNESS AND PAID FOR, MADE HIS OWN].
SO THEN, HONOR GOD AND BRING GLORY TO HIM IN YOUR BODY."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: ALL RIGHT NOW, ROMANS 12:1, "I APPEAL TO YOU
THEREFORE, BRETHREN, AND I BEG OF YOU IN VIEW OF [ALL]
THE MERCIES OF GOD, TO MAKE A DECISIVE DEDICATION OF
YOUR BODIES."
SO, I WOULDN'T WANT TO PREACH LIKE THIS TODAY AND NOT AT LEAST
BRING US TO A POINT OF SAYING, ARE YOU HEARING ANYTHING THAT
YOU NEED TODAY?
IS THERE ANY CONVICTION THERE THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE BETTER
CARE OF YOURSELVES?
AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TODAY TO SAY, "OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE SOME OF THIS KIND OF STUFF.
I JUST KIND OF THOUGHT MY BODY WAS MY OWN TO DO WHAT I WANTED
TO WITH AND THAT THAT DIDN'T REALLY MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT
ALL ABOUT MY SPIRITUAL LIFE.
BUT NOW THAT I SEE THAT, I DO WANT TO DEDICATE MY BODY
TO THE LORD."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: NOW, I NEED TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HAND UP,
SEE, THAT MEANS SOME CHANGES.
HOW MANY OF YOU GOT A PAIN IN YOUR BODY YOU'VE BEEN IGNORING
FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS AND SAYING, "OH, I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO
TO THE DOCTOR"?
WELL, GET YOUR APPOINTMENT MADE.
YOU CAN'T GET BY WITH IT ANYMORE.
YOU SAY, "WELL--"
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: DO YOU WANT TO GAMBLE OR INVEST?
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE THAT YOU CAN DO NOTHING AND
STILL GET A GREAT RESULT, OR DO YOU WANT TO DO YOUR MAINTENANCE?
THEN IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, YOU AT LEAST KNOW THAT YOU DID
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND WHEN WE KNOW THAT, I THINK IT GIVES US POWER IN
PRAYER TO GO BEFORE GOD AND SAY, "I BELIEVE THAT I'VE DONE WHAT
YOU'VE ASKED ME TO DO.
NOW, I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE REST OF THIS,
I NEED YOU DO THIS."
AND JESUS IS OUR HEALER.
I BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO HEAL EVERYBODY IN HERE TODAY
THAT'S SICK OR DISEASED IN YOUR BODIES.
BUT THERE'S ONE MAN IN THE BIBLE WHERE HE SAID, "NOW, I'VE MADE
YOU WELL, NOW GO AND SIN NO MORE UNLESS THE WORST THING
COMES UPON YOU."
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL SICKNESS IS FROM OUR OWN
PERSONAL SIN, BUT SOME OF IT IS.
NOT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE SAME REASON BUT WE NEED TO
BE OPEN TO LETTING GOD SHOW US.
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING TODAY.
WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS GO
TO GOD, YES, AND PRAY BUT DON'T JUST ASK GOD TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
ASK HIM IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED TO SEE.
MAYBE YOU'RE PRAYING FOR GOD TO GET YOU OUT OF DEBT AND YOU JUST
NEED TO STOP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY.
OH, NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I NEEDED MORE ENERGY AND ALL I--GOD SAID,
"GOOD, GO WALK."
WELL, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT I WAS DOING GOOD BUT I SIT HOURS,
AND HOURS AND HOURS AND STUDY.
I SIT HOURS ON PLANES GETTING TO WHERE I'M GOING TO PREACH.
AND I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT AT A GYM 3 TIMES A WEEK FOR 12 YEARS
BUT THE CARDIO EXERCISE IS A DIFFERENT KIND.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU, MOVE.
PLAY SOME SPORTS, TAKE A WALK, DO SOMETHING BUT GET YOURSELF
MOVING SO THE LIFE THAT'S IN YOU CAN BEGIN TO FLOW AND DO
SOMETHING.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND ACTUALLY, WALKING'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS
YOU CAN DO.
AND IF YOU THINK YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME TIME ALONE, THAT'S
A GREAT PLACE TO GO GET IT.
AND I KNOW EVERYBODY LIKES, YOU KNOW, A WALKING PARTNER.
WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST LET YOUR WALKING PARTNER BE JESUS
FOR A WHILE.
MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND JUST, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF
GETTING A FRIEND TO WALK WITH AND GOSSIPING ABOUT ALL OUR
OTHER FRIENDS, MAYBE YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND JUST TALK TO JESUS
FOR A WHILE.
OOH, I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN TODAY.
"MAKE A DECISIVE DEDICATION OF YOUR BODIES [PRESENTING ALL YOUR
MEMBERS AND FACULTIES] AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY (DEVOTED,
CONSECRATED) AND WELL PLEASING TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE
(RATIONAL, INTELLIGENT) SERVICE AND SPIRITUAL WORSHIP."
IT HAS BECOME SO REAL TO ME IN THE LAST 5 YEARS, ESPECIALLY,
THAT WE ARE PARTNERS WITH GOD.
WE CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND AND ASK GOD TO DO EVERYTHING WHILE WE
DO NOTHING.
JUST WISHING FOR THINGS DOESN'T GET IT DONE.
WE HAVE TO SAY, "GOD, SHOW ME THE STEPS THAT I NEED TO TAKE TO
HAVE THE RESULT THAT I WANT TO GET IN MY LIFE."
I MEAN, THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS--HEBREWS 12, THAT
NO DISCIPLINE FOR THE PRESENT BRINGS JOY.
IT'S PAINFUL.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING TO THE GYM, I WAS SORE FOR 2 YEARS.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS, BUT I WAS.
OH, MY GOSH.
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW BAD I HURT.
AND I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
IT'S LIKE SO OFTEN WE START TO DO THE RIGHT THING
AND IT'S HARD.
"WELL, THAT'S HARD.
I CAN'T GO WALK EVERY DAY.
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: YES, YOU DO.
YES, YOU DO.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT I FOUND OUT?
WE DO WHAT WE WANNA DO.
I MEAN, THAT'S JUST THE BOTTOM LINE.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, YOU WILL
FIND THE TIME TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM.
WE DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
WE DO WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO.
THE WILL OF MAN IS SO PHENOMENAL.
GOD HAS GIVEN US FREE CHOICE.
HE'S GIVEN US FREE CHOICE.
THE DEVIL WILL HELP YOU DO THE WRONG THING AND GOD WILL HELP
YOU DO THE RIGHT THING, BUT IT'S OUR CHOICE WHICH ONE WE'RE
GOING TO DO.
AND PLEASE REMEMBER, I'M NOT LAYING DOWN LAWS, AND RULES,
AND REGULATIONS.
I'M SIMPLY SAYING, FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE THAT HE IS LEADING YOU TO DO.
SAME WAY WITH HOW YOU RUN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, YOU NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF YOUR HEALTH THE SAME WAY.
THE SAME THINGS DON'T WORK FOR EVERYBODY BUT WE HAVE TO DO
OUR PART.
WE'RE PARTNERS WITH GOD.
HE HAS A PART.
WE HAVE A PART.
WE CAN'T DO HIS PART.
AND WE WON'T DO OUR PART.
I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN.
WE'RE PARTNERS WITH GOD, THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE A PART.
HE HAS A PART.
WE CAN'T DO HIS PART.
HE WON'T DO OUR PART.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
TO BE HONEST, LIFE GETS A LOT MORE INTERESTING WHEN WE START
TAKING OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
IT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU MAKE
GOOD CHOICES, EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE, EVEN IF THEY
MAKE YOU SORE, EVEN IF THEY TAKE YOUR TIME, EVEN IF THEY'RE HARD.
DOING SOME HARD THINGS IS GOOD FOR US, OCCASIONALLY.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS WANT THE PAIN TO STOP.
WE ALWAYS WANT THINGS TO FEEL BETTER RIGHT AWAY.
BUT THE REAL DEFINITION OF THE WORD "PATIENCE" MEANS
TO STAY UNDER.
TO HUMBLE YOURSELF MEANS TO STAY UNDER WHAT GOD HAS PUT YOU UNDER
AND TRUST HIM TO DO THE WORK IN YOU THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND SO, THIS MAN SAW THIS BUTTERFLY.
IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR IT TO BE BIRTHED AND IT WAS FIGHTING.
IT WAS TRYING TO FIGHT ITS WAY OUT OF THIS COCOON.
AND IT APPEARED TO THE MAN THAT THERE WAS A GREAT STRUGGLE
GOING ON.
AND HE DIDN'T WANT THE LITTLE BUTTERFLY TO SUFFER,
SO HE OPENED UP THE COCOON.
AND IT WAS TOO EARLY, AND THE WINGS WERE NOT TOTALLY
DEVELOPED, AND IT FELL OVER AND DIED.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
EVEN TO DELIVER YOUR CHILDREN FROM EVERYTHING THAT IS PAINFUL
TO THEM MANY TIMES CRIPPLES THEM FOR LIFE.
WE HAVE TO BE--WE HAVE TO LOVE OUR KIDS ENOUGH, LIKE GOD LOVES
US, TO LET THEM MAYBE GO THROUGH SOME THINGS.
YOU CAN HAVE GOOD HEALTH BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE WORK.
AND IT'S GONNA TAKE EFFORT.
AND IT'S GONNA TAKE DECISION.
AND IT'S GONNA TAKE DOING WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT WHETHER YOU
FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT.
AND IT'S GONNA BE HARD IN THE BEGINNING, BUT YOU'RE GONNA
GET THROUGH IT DAY AFTER DAY AND YOU'RE GONNA GET OVER HERE AND
SAY, "MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD I FEEL."
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DESPISE IS REGRET?
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WORSE THAN MAKING BAD DECISIONS,
AND MORE BAD DECISIONS, AND MORE BAD DECISIONS, AND THEN GETTING
TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF BAD RESULTS, AND THEN
JUST REGRETTING THAT YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE.
YOU KNOW, ESAU WAS LIKE THAT.
HE SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT TO JACOB AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT LATER
ON, HE REGRETTED THE DECISION THAT HE'D MADE BUT HE THEN HAD
NO OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND RECLAIM THAT BIRTHRIGHT.
THANKFULLY, WE CAN TURN THINGS AROUND 'CAUSE I'M GONNA TELL YOU
TODAY EVEN IF YOU FEEL LOUSY, EVERY GOOD DECISION YOU MAKE
HELPS UNDO THE RESULTS OF BAD DECISIONS THAT
YOU'VE MADE IN THE PAST.
SO, DON'T EVER THINK IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU TO CHANGE.
IT'S NEVER--THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF SATAN.
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT.
RIGHT NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO START DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: I BEG OF YOU TO MAKE A DECISIVE DEDICATION OF YOUR
BODIES PRESENTING ALL YOUR MEMBERS, SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY,
MIND, WILL, EMOTIONS, PRESENTING ALL YOUR MEMBERS AND FACULTIES
AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, WHOLLY DEVOTED AND WELL PLEASING UNTO
GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE AND SPIRITUAL WORSHIP.
CAN I JUST TELL YOU FIVE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO THAT WILL
IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?
AND THEN I HAVE SIX MORE THINGS.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: BUT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT EATING.
I'LL SAVE THOSE TILL LAST.
DRINK HALF OF YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN OUNCES OF WATER EVERY DAY.
SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING, "I'LL DROWN."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: ONE TIME I SAID, DRINK HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN WATER
EVERY DAY AND DAVE TOLD ME LATER HE SAID, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
WATER YOU JUST TOLD THEM TO DRINK?"
NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU DON'T LIKE WATER?
OKAY, I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY YOU DON'T LIKE WATER, BECAUSE YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING IT.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I MEAN, THAT'S THE TRUTH.
YOU DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T DRANK IT.
YOU DRINK SODA.
YOU DRINK COFFEE.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A WELL PUMPING OUT COCA-COLA OR
PEPSI COLA OR--?
YOU KNOW, GOD PUT WATER ON THE EARTH.
IT'S IN RIVERS.
IT'S IN STREAMS.
IT'S IN OCEANS.
YOU GET IT OUT OF THE GROUND IF YOU DIG A WELL.
THERE YOU GO.
AND YOU WILL START TO LIKE IT.
WELL, MY FATHER HATED WATER TOO AND HE DIED WITH KIDNEY DISEASE.
IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WILL REALLY CLEANSE YOUR KIDNEYS SO
START DRINKING IT AND DON'T SIP IT, DRINK IT.
SLEEP 7 TO 8 HOURS A DAY.
I MEAN, UNLESS YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE THAT REALLY
JUST DOESN'T NEED THAT MUCH SLEEP, AND THERE ARE
A FEW PEOPLE.
MY HUSBAND HAS A SISTER THAT SLEEPS 5 HOURS A NIGHT.
SHE'S OUR AGE AND THAT'S JUST ALL THE SLEEP SHE'S EVER NEEDED.
THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE LIKE THAT BUT IF YOU NEED--GET THE SLEEP
YOU NEED.
THANK YOU.
EAT MOSTLY HEALTHY.
I GOT ONE FRIEND OVER HERE IN THIS SECTION.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: NOW, COME ON, I'M GIVING YOU GUYS A BREAK.
I SAID MOSTLY, MOSTLY.
I DRINK COFFEE BUT I DON'T DRINK 12 CUPS A DAY.
I EAT A DESSERT.
I EAT ONE ONCE A WEEK.
I THINK IT'S GOOD TO ALLOW YOURSELF SOME THINGS LIKE THAT
SO YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE UNDER THE LAW.
BECAUSE TO BE HONEST IF YOU SAY, "I CAN NEVER DO THIS, AND I CAN
NEVER DO THAT, AND I CAN NEVER DO THIS," YOU PUT YOURSELF
UNDER LAW.
IT'S ONLY GONNA MAKE YOU WANT IT MORE.
GOD GAVE THE LAW TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT THEY NEEDED A SAVIOR
BECAUSE THE LAW ACTUALLY INCREASED THEIR SIN.
NOW, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A HEALTH EXPERT, NOT A NUTRITIONIST.
SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY SAY, "OH NO, YOU CAN NEVER EAT THAT.
DON'T YOU EVER PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH."
WELL, I JUST THINK IT'S BETTER TO DO MODERATION.
IT THINK IF I TELL YOU DON'T EVER DO THAT, THEN YOU'RE NOT
LISTEN TO ANYTHING I SAY AND YOU'RE GONNA GO AND SAY, "WELL,
THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME."
SO, EAT MOSTLY HEALTHY.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT OR WHAT THAT IS, GO GET A BOOK
AND EDUCATE YOURSELF.
JUST GET A BASIC BOOK ON GOOD NUTRITION AND FIND OUT
SOME THINGS.
GET SOME KIND OF REGULAR EXERCISE AND ESPECIALLY
SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA GET YOUR HEART RATE UP, THAT'S GONNA
INCREASE YOUR METABOLISM, AND DO IT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
SOME OF YOU ARE SO TIRED YOU CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT
EXERCISING. IT'S LIKE--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I WAS GONNA ASK HOW MANY PEOPLE EXERCISE REGULARLY,
BUT I WON'T.
NUMBER FIVE, IF YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY, HAVE A WELL-BALANCED
LIFE.
THANK YOU.
THAT MEANS WORK, REST, PLAY, LAUGH.
HAVE BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE.
OKAY NUMBER ONE, WATER.
NUMBER TWO, SLEEP.
NUMBER THREE, EAT MOSTLY HEALTHY.
NUMBER FOUR, REGULAR EXERCISE.
NUMBER FIVE, HAVE A WELL-BALANCED LIFE.
OH, AND THERE'S SIX THINGS.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: I SAW SIX OVER HERE IN THE CORNER.
ELIMINATE EXCESSIVE STRESS FROM YOUR LIFE.
SIX THINGS ABOUT EATING 'CAUSE FOOD IS A PROBLEM FOR US.
PEOPLE STICK FOOD UNDER YOUR NOSE EVERYWHERE YOU GO.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT JUNK, DON'T BUY IT AND TAKE IT HOME.
DON'T EAT MINDLESSLY.
YOU SAY, "WHAT DO MEAN BY THAT?" OKAY, IT'S INTERESTING YOU
GO BACK TO YOUR HOTEL AT NIGHT AND THEY
GOT A CARAMEL ON YOUR PILLOW.
WHAT DO I NEED A CARAMEL ON MY PILLOW FOR OR SOME KIND OF,
YOU KNOW, CHOCOLATE MINT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY TO JUST OPEN THAT THING UP AND POP
IT IN YOUR MOUTH 'CAUSE IT'S LAYING THERE
BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I LOOKED TO SEE
HOW MANY CALORIES WERE IN IT.
ALL IT WAS WAS A BALL OF SUGAR AND A HUNDRED CALORIES.
I THOUGHT, I DON'T NEED THAT.
WENT TO A FURNITURE STORE ONE DAY TO BUY FURNITURE AND
THEY HAD A WHOLE PLATE FULL OF COOKIES SITTING THERE.
BY THE TIME I DID ONE ROTATION AROUND THE STORE AND CAME BACK
BY THE COOKIES, THEY WERE ALL GONE.
EVERYBODY THAT COMES IN THERE JUST PICKS IT UP, AND STICKS IT
IN THEIR MOUTH, AND DON'T EVEN PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE FACT
THAT THEY'RE EATING IT.
I GO TO A PLACE WHERE I BUY SHOES AND THEY'RE THE NICEST
PEOPLE.
I LOVE THEM TO PIECES BUT EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE, THEY WANT TO
GIVE YOU A BAG OF COOKIES.
I DON'T WANT COOKIES AND IF I DO WANT A COOKIE, I'M GONNA
GO BUY ONE THAT I SPECIFICALLY LIKE.
AND I'M PROBABLY GONNA PUT CREAM CHEESE ICING ON IT AND EAT
IT WITH ICE CREAM 'CAUSE THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE MY COOKIES.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND THEY WILL HAVE THREE PEOPLE TRY TO GIVE ME
COOKIES BEFORE I GET OUT THE DOOR.
I DON'T GO TO BUY SHOES TO GET COOKIES.
EVERY TIME-- ARE YOU WITH ME?
AUDIENCE: YES!
JOYCE: THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN YOUR MOUTH.
ASK YOURSELF, "DO I REALLY WANT THIS?
IS IT WORTH IT TO ME TO EAT THIS?"
FORGET DIETING AND CHOOSE INSTEAD TO LIVE A HEALTHY
LIFESTYLE, THAT'S NUMBER THREE.
NUMBER FOUR, STOP EATING WHEN YOU FIRST FEEL FULL AND DON'T
STUFF YOURSELF.
"OH, MY GOSH, I AM SO FULL."
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: "UGH."
PRAY DAILY THAT GOD WILL HELP YOU EAT YOUR NECESSARY FOOD.
LEARN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT EVERYTHING THAT SOMEBODY OFFERS
TO YOU.
AND NUMBER SEVEN, EDUCATE YOURSELF ON WHAT'S IN YOUR FOOD,
THE CALORIES, THE SUGAR, THE NUTRITION, THE CHEMICALS,
SO ON AND SO FORTH.
I HOPE YOU RECEIVE THIS TODAY IN THE SPIRIT IN WHICH I'VE
OFFERED IT.
I REALLY TRULY JUST CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND I WANT YOU TO FEEL
GOOD.
JESUS IS OUR HEALER.
THE BIBLE SAYS HE FORGIVES OUR SINS AND HE HEALS OUR DISEASES.
IF YOU'RE SICK, IF YOU'RE HURTING, IF YOU'RE DISEASED, GO
TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO HEAL YOU BUT BE READY TO TAKE CARE OF
YOURSELF.
IT'S NOT GONNA DO ANY GOOD, EVEN IF GOD DOES A MIRACLE, IF WE'RE
JUST GONNA BACK OUT AND ABUSE OURSELF IN SOME OTHER WAY.
YOU'RE GONNA FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT YOUR CHOICES IF YOU DO THE
GOOD THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO DO.
YOU'RE WORTH TAKING CARE OF.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: YOU ARE WORTH MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF.
YOU DESERVE THE TIME TO TAKE A WALK EVERY DAY, IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU WANNA DO.
YOU DESERVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THAT'S WHAT GOD
WANTS YOU TO DO.
GOD BLESS YOU.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: WELL, WE REALLY NEED THE TAKE CARE OF OUR HEALTH.
WE ARE RUNNING A RACE AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE FINISH WELL.
WE NEED TO INVEST IN OUR BODIES AND USE GODLY WISDOM BECAUSE ALL
THREE, BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT, ARE CONNECTED AND THEY INFLUENCE
OUR EFFECTIVENESS FOR GOD.
TODAY, WE'RE OFFERING YOU A BOOK AND SOME CDS.
THE CDS ARE CALLED, "HEALTHY LIVING, SPIRIT, SOUL & BODY.
AND IN THIS BOOK, IT'S ALSO JUST VERY INFORMATIVE.
IT'S NOT A HUGE BOOK.
IT WON'T TAKE YA A LONG TIME TO READ IT BUT YOU'RE GONNA GET
A LOT OF GOOD ADVICE.
"GOOD HEALTH, GOOD LIFE."
NOW, STAY WITH ME AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
