Peter Rebuked Jesus

I am so weary of listening to born-again, spirit-filled Christians murmur and grumble and complain about what they can't do. Nobody is interested in developing your potential but you and if you don't do it, it's never going to get done. Some people say: I don't know what I'm called to do. Well, find out. How am I supposed to find out? Step out and try a few things. What if I miss God? This is just the way people are: What if I miss God? If you miss God, he'll find you. It won't be the end of the world if you make a mistake. Joyce Meyer asks this question: You know what you just say? I made a mistake. You know, Peter... Peter had some real problems. Peter always had that mouth going, he was always getting in trouble. You have to have some problems to rebuke Jesus. Peter rebuked Jesus.

Joyce Meyer Ministries reads Matthew 16: Peter rebuked Jesus. He really thought that he was the hot rod of the whole disciple staff. Sometimes I look at Peter. He ends up denying Jesus, cursing, saying, "I never knew the man," yet he went on to become a great apostle. The way Jesus dealt with him in that whole thing, you wouldn't have thought it bothered Jesus at all. Can I tell you something? You're no surprise to God. He already knows everything you're going to do before he ever calls you into relationship with himself. You can stop apologizing for your poor pitiful self 25 times a day because God already knows what he's getting when he gets us.

Our Souls Need a Vacation

Joyce Meyer says, if you have a problem and you don't know what to do, come to me. If you have a child that's in trouble, come to me. If you have any kind of a burden, come to me. vs. 29: take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gentle meek: and humble lowly: in heart, and you will find rest relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet: for your souls. Your soul is your inner life. Let's read that again. 

He said: if you come to me, you'll find something for your inner life, you'll find relief, ease, refreshment, and recreation. It kind of sounds like he's saying that our souls need a vacation. You can take your body on vacation and still yet not get a vacation for your soul. Joyce Meyer tell us that we all really have two lives: we have an outer life and an inner life. I've really come to realize over the last number of years that my inner life really is more important to God than my outer life and my inner life needs a rest. My inner life needs a vacation. My emotions need a vacation. My mind needs a vacation. v. 30: for my yoke is wholesome useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but it's comfortable, gracious, and pleasant:, and my burden is light and easy to be borne. What I want to talk to you tonight about is changing your approach to life.

Spirit of Faith

(Joyce) The things that we get upset about do not fix our problems. The world is not going to change. We need to change our approach.

(JoyceMeyer) Welcome to "enjoying everyday life." once again, thank you for joining us. It does mean a lot to me that you're willing to spend time letting me share the word of God with you. Today we want to talk to you about very simply calming down and cheering up. Both of those are things that the bible tells us we should do. I want to encourage you to open up your hearts, have a spirit of faith, and receive from this lesson today that I taught in Jacksonville, Florida. 

Matthew chapter 11 beginning in verse 28 through verse 30 are such comforting scriptures: come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. The amplified bible says: [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] I want you to notice that he didn't say: I'll refresh your body. He said: I'll refresh your soul. It's not that we don't need physical rest because we most certainly do need physical rest but to be honest with you, you can rest physically and never rest your soul. Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions. You can lie down and yet your mind just keeps going. You can lie down and yet you can still be very upset. Matter of fact, some people use the nighttime when they lie down for their worrying. You don't get a right rest when you do that. Jesus said: look, if you're upset about something, come to me.

Christianity Saved My Everyday living - Rethinking Your Christian Daily life

I would like you to think about anything for a moment, have you ever before met someone who has been saved in a Christian church. There's a excellent opportunity you know really a couple of folks if you are living in the United States of The united states. About the a long time I've heard folks tell me, "I've Been Saved," it can be a new commencing for some or lead to a daily life of stress and suffering for some others.

Joyce Meyer tells us that if you don't know what staying saved is, or have by no means heard of it, allow me give you a short description of a saved Christian. This would be a person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, it is not that complicated and you truly don't have to go to church, this ritual can be carried out wherever.

If you're reading this post and would like to be saved, here's how you do it. Get up out of your chair, operate outside the constructing you're in and begin jogging up and down the streets yelling, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, 1111 times. Be careful because if you missed this by a person range, in both path, you have to start off all about all over again.

Okay I'm just kidding about the running out of the household, and yelling at the leading of your lungs, oh yeah and the 1111 moments. Anyway the fact about becoming saved in accordance to the Christian church, is rather merely declaring the phrases to your self or out loud, "I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior."

That's it, it is really really rather straightforward and your saved.

The problem turns into a tiny bit afterwards in your life and this could be in a several days or even a couple of hrs, if most people never see a drastic alter in their existence, they give up their newly started Christian religion and go back again to their previous techniques.

I hope you have a very good knowing about becoming saved in the Christian religion and you can do it whenever of the day, at any period of time of your everyday living. If you're going to die and you been a liar, committed adultery, murdered or raped yet another man or woman, lived a daily life of crime, ruined the lives of other individuals or even been part of an additional religion you're entire lifestyle, only state the phrases "I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior," and you are promptly a Christian. That is a fairly great deal for anybody.

Oh yeah I forgot to inform you, this uncomplicated statement presents you a one particular way ticket to heaven and spend eternity in 1 of the grandest most lovely places you could at any time perhaps envision, even though you may possibly not have been, what most people today would look at a good particular person. Now this is wanting fairly very good isn't it.

Currently being saved can provide you with a good deal of benefits if you're a believer but I forgot to tell you a single extremely critical issue about this total approach. There is no challenging proof and most Christians will tell you that they base their total daily life on faith and a ebook created by a man but inspired by, a single incredible, supernatural and amazing entity.

I've observed a ton of people stay their lives tormented from the selections they've produced during their lives. If you select to feel in Christianity, I would suggest you invest some of your time reading through the Bible but most of your time gathering data about other religions also. Don't consider a person else's phrase, that this is the way to eternal salvation. I beg you to at minimum, discover out wherever the Bible truly arrived from, generally problem your religion.

Joyce Meyer Ministries Training has freed me, to pursue other concepts and launch me from the bondage and concern of organized religion.
