In her most popular bestseller ever, the beloved author and minister shows readers how to change their lives by changing their minds. It even says somewhere in here that if I ask God for these kinds of things that he'll do them, (but then it contradicted that statement at other times.
It intrigues (and scares me a little bit) to think that many spiritual battles can be fought in our thoughts, and that we develop patterns of thought unconsciously, for the most part. Once we got to the chapter where she was describing talking in tongues we all decided this was not the study for us and we ended it.
I don't mean to put her down, and I am not saying she has never had any real struggles in her life -- I'm sure she has.
So, read it all, take what you need now, and revisit the book as needed to see what will speak to you later on. While the first 2/3 of the book is highly enlightening and well worth the read, the last 1/3 made the book for me.
A New York Times bestselling author, Joyce’s books have helped millions of people find hope and restoration through Jesus Christ. Joyce uses parables and many personal examples along the way- which makes the book very interesting to read. Honestly, I think a lot of the negative reviews on this book come from people who were expecting a cure-all book that simply by reading it would cause everything to suddenly become peachy, but that isn't how life works now, is it? She teaches how to deal with thousands of thoughts that people think every day and how to focus the mind the way God thinks.
When I speak in tongues, my mind is unfruitful until God gives either me or someone else the understanding of what I am saying; then my mind becomes fruitful. I have had such a 180 in my thinking and my life due to this book that I want to come back to this same jail after I am out in August to teach of this book and these principles to others that I see in here that are in very desperate need of these ideals. Joyce helps to equip the reader with the mind-altering power phrases and techniques necessary to bring anyone out of their funk--if they are willing to put in a little effort. Joyce Meyer’s all-time bestselling book: * Shows you how to control the thousands of thoughts you have every day * Helps you to recognise damaging thoughts that can influence your life * Identifies the ‘Wilderness Mentalities’ that hold us back * Demonstrates how to focus your mind to think the way Jesus thought Joyce shares the trials, tragedies and ultimate victories from her own marriage, family and ministry that have led her to amazing, life-transforming truth, and reveals her thoughts and feelings every step of the way.Mary and John are miserable, and they generally suck, because Mary wants to be independent, "have her own money," work, and make decisions for herself, and John is weak lets Mary walk all over him. It is a "go-to" book for me, when I find myself worrying too much, which is why I'm reading it again. She knows what she is talking about and what I love about her she keeps it real and we need that in our daily life. Confessing not only covers our sin, but also helps us to recognize and analyze where it is that we are habitually falling into sin.
