When the devil says it’s impossible, God says all things are possible.” I heard these words coming straight from Joyce Meyer through my speakers to me. She was preaching a sermon on the mind. Like many of you, I have heard the powerful sermons that Joyce has taught throughout the years. But the teachings on the mind and thought processes have changed my life, the way I think, and more importantly, taught me how to ignore the devil.
Math had never been a subject that I succeeded in. As a matter of fact, I dropped out of basic algebra in high school. Sitting in a math class was confusing and boring. The teacher sounded like the adults talking in a Charlie Brown show! The
equations on the chalkboard seemed like a foreign language. I found myself studying extra hard, but I would still get horrible grades. After I finished high school, I just wanted to give up. How could I possibly succeed in math on a college level?
That day as I continued to listen to Joyce’s teaching on the mind, the sermon instantly changed my life. In Joyce’s message she mentioned that the only way to get out of something is to go through it. At that moment I surrendered my thought processes to the Lord. That day I enrolled in college and signed up for my first class—College Math Fundamentals. I made an A! I also received an A in both Precalculus and Statistics. I am now enrolled in Calculus I, which is something I never thought I would be able to tackle. My academic counselor even tried to talk me out of taking Precalculus and Calculus because it was more math than what was needed to meet the requirements for my degree. After giving my thoughts of bondage to the Lord, it’s exciting to witness Him work through my weaknesses.
I am thankful that Joyce has provided this important teaching, explaining how our past does not dictate our future. Whatever you need to get through, hearing Joyce’s sermons will empower you. No longer do I feel paralyzed about God’s will for my life. I am now able to recognize the power of releasing my faith to Jesus and allowing Him to guide me the rest of the way.
Like Joyce says, “Do what you can do, and the Lord will do what you can’t do!”
