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, "The Invisible Kingdom." Instead of looking at the world around us, try and think about what's happening in the spiritual realm. It's time we see into the unseen. God has so many good things going on. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. - Okay, I've been talking about the kingdom of God, which is an invisible kingdom. There's, the Bible talks a lot in the New Testament about the kingdom of God. Jesus' first message was repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And his disciples thought that kingdom was gonna be an earthly kingdom, where he would set up a palace somewhere with a throne and be the king. Well, he is king Jesus, but it's over an invisible kingdom. And we read this morning how Jesus said to his disciples, who do people say that I am? And they said, well, John the Baptist Elijah, different prophets. He said, well, who do you say that I am? And Peter said, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. And he said, on this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The rock he was talking about was the rock of faith. Unto every man is given the measure of faith. You have faith. Even if you're not a believer, you've got faith. You may be using it for the wrong thing, but you have to have faith to even sit in the chair, otherwise you'd be afraid that it would cave in under you. And, but faith is a force that dwells on the inside of you. And God gives every person however much they need to do, whatever it is he's called them to do, art to be in whatever situation you're in. You may be in a really tough situation, but I believe that God will give you grace for your place. Amen? (congregation applauding) And you know what happens when you have grace for your place? You can do things that to other people, they'll look at you and take, I have no idea how you do that. But yet you have grace for the place that you're in. God never allows more to- Owning a rental property sounds like a dream. Collect a rent and relax. That is until you realize how much work goes into getting it ready. First, you need to conduct market research to understand local rental trends and determine a competitive rent price. Then there's cleaning, staging, repairs, and hiring a professional photographer. Next, develop a marketing strategy. List the property on rental sites. It's gonna tell the showings. Oh, don't forget screen time. (indistinct) Whew, sound complicated?

So I really want to encourage you, if you're in a difficult place right now, and your mind keeps wanting to say, "I can't do this." You ever hear that? I can't put up with this one more day. And tomorrow, it's like, "I can't put up with this one more day." And tomorrow, you're like, "Really God? "I can't put up with this one more day." But you can do whatever it is that you need to do and still enjoy your life, because when God gives you grace, grace is equivalent to being well-oiled. You know, grace or the Holy Spirit in the Bible is sometimes depicted as oil. And when you have a piece of machinery that's well-oiled, it glides and slides and works very easy. We've got a lot of gym equipment in our house, 'cause Dave and I both work out, and every once in a while, we'll have to put some oil on different parts, because they'll get squeaky and hard to operate. And sometimes when your life is getting hard, all you need is little extra time with the Holy Spirit, you need to oil the dry places once again. So I wanna say again, whatever it is that you're dealing with, don't get that mindset, "I can't." Keep an "I can" mindset, because God always gives you enough faith and enough grace to do whatever it is you need to do. I'm going to say it again. God always gives you enough faith and enough grace to do whatever it is that you need to do. (audience applauding) Maybe one more time. (audience cheering) Maybe just one more time, 'cause I feel like somebody's still, I'm trying to push over the edge to believe it. 'Cause see, here's the thing, no matter what God's given us, if we don't believe we have it, then to us it's gonna be as if we didn't have it. That's good, think about that. No matter what God's given us, if we don't believe we have it to us, it's as if we didn't have it, amen? So even like I've been talking about being more conscious of the fact that you have angels with you all the time, I think just thinking about that will make you feel more safe and more powerful and less likely to feel like you can't do anything. In Psalm 91, it says, "He will give his angels charge over you "to defend and protect." Owning a rental property sounds like a drink, collect a rent, and relax. That is, until you realize how much work goes into getting it ready. First, do you need to conduct market research to understand local rental trends and determine a competitive rent price? Then there's cleaning, staging, repairs, and hiring a professional photographer. Next, develop a marketing strategy, list the property on rental sites, and schedule countless earnings. Oh, no, it's really time for information. (mumbles) Whew, sound complicated? Runner's warehouse is here to take the hard work off your rental to-do list. Our job is complicated because it should be.

Angels aren't gonna help you disobey God, but if you're a person who's determined to obey God, then he will give you angels to help you do that. So you have all the grace and all the faith that you need to do, whatever it is that you need to do. If you're in a tough marriage, but you feel like God's told you to stick it out, if you have a special needs child and you really wanna take care of them and do whatever it is you need to do, right? God's not gonna give you that child without giving you the grace to be able to do it. And I'm not gonna say that you're not gonna have hard days or tough days, but God will always come through. And give you just what you need at just the right time. I heard a message a while back called The Good Hard Life by a woman who'd been in an accident and had had a stroke and she just fairly crippled and just had a lot of different things wrong with her. And she did such a good job of talking about how her life was really hard, but it was really good. And so I know a woman who has a special needs child and I just felt like I was supposed to share that message with her. And so I emailed it to her and just said, I think you'll enjoy this. I felt like God told me to send it to you. And she's not even somebody that I'm with a lot or know real well. I just, I know her, I know of her. And she texts me back and she said, "You had no idea how timely that was for me." I felt like I was about to go over the edge and that really helped me. And see, that's the way God works. When you feel like you can't take one more step, God will send you the encouragement that you need to help you do what you need to do. So we live in this kingdom that for the sake of what I want to share this afternoon, we're going to call the upside down kingdom because we have spiritual laws or principles that we live by, not laws like Old Testament laws, but there's a way that the kingdom operates. And there are keys to that kingdom. And faith is the main key, but there are other things that are also keys that if you work those things, there will be a release of one of the promises of God in your life. God promises to take care of us financially, but it says give and you shall receive. So if you don't use the key of giving, hello, then don't be surprised if you end up with a bunch of needs in your life that are not being met. Or if you don't use any wisdom and you just have all kinds of credit card debt and you have no discipline with your money and you're buying all kinds of stuff you don't need, don't be surprised if you have financial problems. You know, we can't just live like, we don't have any brains at all and expect God to just come and get us out of everything that we get ourselves into, amen.

And so we really live in a kingdom that's upside down. The first time I preached this message, first and only time I preached this entire series was actually twenty-one years ago. I think it's interesting that the word never gets old. I'd kind of like to compare this to what I said twenty-one years ago and see how much I've grown since then. I'm pretty sure this series probably sounds totally different from the one twenty-one years ago did, but when I first preached it I call it the upside down kingdom that is actually right-side up. Well, see, the world looking at us thinks we're upside down. Like, well, nothing you do makes any sense. But to us, nothing they do make any sense because we've done that and we've seen the result. Amen. Wouldn't you rather have a hangover from being in this meeting all weekend like have a holy ghost hangover, then being the best bar in the city all weekend and have a hangover from that? Yeah, you may be a little tired from sitting here all weekend and maybe there's some things that you didn't get to that you would have liked to have gotten to. You might have to work a little extra hard next week, but I'll tell you what, it'll be worth it to you. There are some things that are worth doing, but there's a lot of things we do that just simply are not worth doing. Amen. Good preaching, Joyce. So the first thing that you've got to get through your head if you're going to enjoy this kingdom life is that everything that God asks you to do is not going to make sense. God's got a strange arithmetic. One God, three persons in what economy does one equal three or three equals one. You're not going to figure that out. Why would God send his only son to die for a bunch of people who were still yet in sin didn't even care anything about him, suffer the way he suffered? Why would you do that? I don't get it either, but I'm going to be like those little kids. Thank you. Amen. Just so it makes sense for the teaching, if you didn't see that part of the message, I brought 10 kids up here that didn't know me and I didn't know, and I gave each one of them $2, and all they said, all any one of them said was, "Thank you, thank you." Then I went back and gave them all $5, and the thank you got a little bit firmer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, and you know, the more God does for us, the louder we ought to get. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. An attitude of gratitude is one of the best attitudes that you can have. And so we're going to look at some of these...

Upside down principles, but first, I want to talk to you a little bit more about this key of faith that unlocks the kingdom. And I just want to tell you to turn your faith loose. I'm glad I'm preaching today on faith, because I'll tell you, I was talking to Pastor Mike during the break, and we've known each other for 30 years, so he knew me when I was still just doing a Bible study at the church that we both went to. And I'm so grateful that I learned about faith, because I stepped out in faith and did so many things that I look back now and think, "How did I even have the nerve to do that?" What would have made me think that that would work? But see, that's the thing. I wasn't thinking with my head. I was walking by what the Holy Spirit put in my heart, and there was sacrifice involved, and it wasn't always easy. And everybody didn't always agree with me. Matter of fact, a lot of people thought I was nuts. I lost friends, ostracized by family members. It wasn't easy. But just because you know anybody that you know thinks what you're doing makes any sense. If God puts it in your heart, and you stick with it long enough, and you learn how to operate these kingdom principles, you will succeed. No matter what we see or don't see, we can trust God is working in our lives. Today's resource offering will let us truly know He is always right there with us.
