When Faith Gets Crazy Hard | Joyce Meyer's Talk It Out Podcast | Episode 109

Faith is great. It even seems unshakable at times…until.
Until the layoff. Until that friendship unravels. Until the loved one you’ve been praying for passes away. Until your vision for the future is totally upended by a loss you never saw coming.
What do we do when we get to “until”? Join Joyce, Ginger, Jai and Erin for a conversation where they share keys to help you hold on to your faith, stay close to Jesus and have hope, even in the middle of circumstances that feel too heavy to handle. He’s got you.

I love the absolute raw honesty of these women! So much of the church needs to share their burdens just like this instead of always pretending to be impenetrable faith monsters... cuz you're not supposed to say this and you're not supposed to say that if you're in faith. These women are talking reality and these are the things that generally most people go through with their faith. Obviously we don't stay in the mud but the honesty is so refreshing and actually helps others to build their faith by knowing they're not the only ones that feel that way.

[@brideofchrist9577]

Faith monsters 😂😂😂 well its good if you have monster faith lol 😆

[@yvonnegaffley382]

Thank Joyce for prayers God Bless I love your program and will continue your watching I am from South AfricaCape Town

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as GOD hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. We all have been given a measure of Faith. Through life’s struggles our Faith is increased. But through our struggles we see how powerful our GOD truly is. These are Faith builder moments. Just like the children of Israel went through, the parting of the Red Sea, they were cornered with no where to go, then GOD made a way where there was no way. Red Sea moment. 😊🙏❤️

[@angelawiertalla2513]

Amen!! I was a why person for about 40 years, always needing or wanting things to make sense to me. I'm now at that place where I do NOT NEED or WANT things to make sense. Now I have been freed from all that!! By Gods grace I have peace, pure joy, I feel complete for the 1st time ever in my life!! I KNOW that was God, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

[@denisespringer4791]

I definitely want what God wants. It's far much better than what I think I want.

[@dressedtohonour]

I’ve gotten angry at God, I’ve asked him blunt questions but never given up on Him. I just KNOW He knows better. Now I am healed and in a better place in life 🌸 Thank you Jesus.

[@TheJoubert15]

● Great sermon Only Jesus.

[@teresatambeau5385]

I feel that many of us find rselves in places that we r grieving and grief comes with alot of emotions that make us question r faith. We r actually in grief mode, that's all. And grieving the loss of anything, betrayal being one. It is important to give yourself to grieve

[@Mary-Rachel]

Amen. I too....❤❤❤

[@carolepracitto928]

Thanl you so much ladies... I always need you...like you say...we just need our girlfriends...my friend asked me how I believe ...I said It is called the mystery of faith...and I believe...thank you again ladies

[@judyvanschalkwyk6504]

I have faith in God's love for me, not for specific things

[@jenipharachel3296]

Hi Jai, That incident with the bank account really touched me. I've been going through a hard time and feeling like does God really care about me at times. I know it was a test of faith. I just wanna thank you for being open about your pain and journey. It makes me feel that I'm not alone in all of this. Other people who are depending on God are also going through hard times

[@jesslove8372]

You have no idea how anointed this message is. I am in such a crisis of faith and everything shared is something I'm struggling with. I listened to this at 12am and I'm still up taking notes. The verses were like God reminding me to trust in His goodness. I am sowing a seed into this Word in faith that God will take me to the next level of faith in Him and I will not grow weary and faint, in Jesus name. Amen. Thank You Lord. P.S. Thank you so much for talking about this and being so honest. I've honestly had a hard time even admitting to my sisters in Christ that I'm having a crisis in faith. But after this I will call to the saints to support me in prayer.

[@joycemeyer]

We are grateful to hear that this blessed you today! We are lifting you up in our prayers. We know it can be difficult to hold onto hope when things are hard in our lives. But that can be when being a prisoner to hope is the important thing. Check out bit.ly/2ktDgJ4 . We hope it's a blessing to you! -Team JMM

[@soulisj]

Thanks! I cannot adequately describe how much this discussion on Faith has been ENTIRELY encouraging & eye-opening. As a mature Christian, who's also upper middle age, single, a primary caregiver & believing God for sooo much during this time in life -- meaning actually believing God for a future -- we ALL need these wonderful reminders, which I also consider rhema words! I LOVE YOU LADIES for your transparency. Again, thank you!

[@joycemeyer]

We're glad to hear that this episode blessed you today! God bless you! -Team JMM

[@eromoseleelizabeth2447]

May God water you ladies as you water others lives

[@Victoria-bb6fr]

Today is the first time that I have seen your post and I really appreciate your help 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏 GOD IS SO WONDERFUL 🙌 🙏 ❤️

[@JayJay-sm8zy]

Faith is lean on everything to God and substance of things hoped for. Amen

[@bonnieharwood2269]

Faith is very hard I threw my fits but than come back to my Lord and his promises. I put my house up for sake 60 days ago because I went to estate sale and before I went inside the house God said this is your house. Neither of our homes haven't sold. I believe what I believe he said this is yours but so far hasn't happened. Friends have asked me why don't I take mine off the market, because I have faith, I believe what God said. Yes I get frustrated but come back and realize it's his timing not mine. Amen

[@brittanyalaska]

This came to me at an incredible time. I've really been struggling with my faith this past month. Need to stay inspired and faithful💫

[@joycemeyer]

We are praying for you, Brittany! The more intimate we are with God, the more powerful our lives will be! That’s because we start to resemble and act like who we spend time with. So, if we “hang out” with Christ, we will eventually become more like Him. Spend time with God today. He loves you! Joycemeyer.org/study & bit.ly/2y8S08a. -Team JMM

[@marylouhixson2423]

You girls are life savers! I’m hooked on this show! Thank you ❤

[@martinanagasha3665]

God gave me a word for a season telling me to rejoice. i cried a lot and i still don't seem to completely understand what he meant coz the season was soo hard and painful for me.

[@keiarapayne3206]

This show has truly kept me going through hard times in my life!!! Thank you all for this ministry!

[@princesssullivan5098]

Love this!! I was just 🙏🏽🙏🏽 about faith and what it really means! ✝️🙏🏽 Thank You Lord!

[@earthdogpj1]

I just love this group of women!!! I truly look forward to each new gathering to laugh and feel connected

[@denisespringer4791]

Me too, Ginger, I can be self-supporting to my own contributions. Almost to my detriment.

[@patscott6750]

Have faith imive prayed for my youngest daugrherfor monday ii still and know for is carrying us for steps in the sand amen🙏

[@britneebraylen3398]

Thanks for the message. It reminds me of your respect for your parents. Out of love and respect you can’t question them and you know they have the best intentions for you even when you don’t understand. We are all so blessed beyond our understanding. ❤🙏🏾

[@DmarilynB]

I can relate to Jay. I have felt like I have knocked down and all about, but I kept praying and watching and waiting for the testimony to shout it out. Oh boy, what a challenge. At the moment I am a bit above the ground and holding on to God and seeking him daily. I am being bold and asking God daily to strengthen my faith and being a disciple of God in the little things I do and say. Holding on! Thank you Jesus

[@Darthmaulini]

Same, she described how I felt. We lost a baby 2 years ago and when I was pregnant this year I believed God was going to do a miracle, but I lost the baby again. And it makes zero sense to me. I felt like I was down and I got punched in the face again. But I'm trusting God to give me faith to in my unbelief.

[@lzyaccurate7919]

This is a good podcast.

[@lauriegrizzard3901]

Love You Sisters!❤

[@joycemeyer]

Much love to you too from all of us here at Joyce Meyer Ministries! God bless you! -Team JMM

[@annessesmith4130]

@23:58 - I want to say thank you so much to the woman who said this. Thank you for being honest and real. I have felt this way also. And we have to work thru it. Pastor Joyce is right - we do need a certain reverential fear of God..."but" we can only start where we are, learn better, hopefully getting to that point. And God knows (thank you Lord) and HE will get us there.🙂 Thank you so much Pastor Joyce for this podcast/show. I know so many people like me NEED IT. Also, there are MANY examples in the Bible where God's people are in these "catch 22" situation. Like God giving Abraham a son to have him sacrifice him for a test. Or Job being a righteous man called out by God Himself to befall lots of trouble many of us could not face but Job came out fine. David was crowned King but did you see all the trouble he went thru b4 he became King and sinned against God? We can look to the history of the Bible to give us hope. There is nothing new under the sun. And yes, sometimes it does feel like manipulation but could it be a setup in the plan of God to work something out for you...and then someone else?

[@antoinetterodriquez]

Hallelujah 🙌🏼🙌🏼 so Deep n True 💯 my spiritual mother, and some of my favorite ladies they get me through so many storms God has used you guys tremendously THANKFUL FOR YA’LL

[@patriciaamongin6662]

[@cindysecker3028]

I also have the Job problem...I do like Ginger's thoughts on Job.

[@missleigh9480]

God asked me to walk away from my business and in October He asked me to walk away from my job. He’s definitely provided every single month but my bank accounts are now fully wiped out except the one where my bills are getting taken out of. Ive applied to jobs and even door dashed out of faith lol but I just know God is saying no and to wait. Ive now started to use my credit card and yes, Gods paid it off but Oh my goodness this is hard 😪

[@caratinawaiters2590]

This is an honest conversation! Standing on the faith. Faith leads me to hope! Thank you!!

[@patriciaamongin6662]

Joyce may God bless you for me always 🥰🥳😍💕💕

[@norahrujumba1541]

Ladies,I can never thank you enough,be blessed,for Jai,I resonate with you dear,the faith we hang on to is that GOD has the best in store better than that which we think should been restored.

[@carriekeubler7781]

[@rebeccaterry3289]

Thank you for explaining faith to me. I've always believed I didn't have faith. Cause I have a lot of trust issues . But u taught me that we all have faith cause we couldn't set in the chair if we didn't. So I know I have faith now. I pray that God will show me where I am putting it ❤.

[@jdanielzuk]

Things could be worse. Thank you, God for hot clean water in my life while my family is sick! Amen, hallelujah. Thank you so much.

[@nikiabell1700]

I needed this! Thank you God! 🙏🏾🤗

[@jessie8784]

I love this episode it brings me back to another episode that I was listening to on your podcast I had a lot of questions tough questions going on that it didn't seem like I was getting any answers to and then on your episode you happen to say well if you had all the answers you wouldn't need me anymore meaning God and I just had a complete peace over all the questions I didn't feel like being answered hearing I may not be giving you all the answers but I love you and I've got this

[@jessie8784]

I loved the way you brought in Proverbs 3:5-6 I've always felt like that was my life verse and each time he brings me back to it is as if he gives me a deeper level of understanding too

[@josephbanda1052]

Thanks for the wonderful message Amen.

[@anjolapopoola2995]

A message in due season... found this while feeling down and drained, surfing the web looking for something to get me up off my bed. I can so relate with what Erin said about the feeling of feeling manipulated from God...

[@brendadegraw1688]

Awesome episode! Faith is a projected trusting perspective through love. I am so thankful for the strength of admiration and trust this gives me thru the capacity of God's love. Amen 🙏😊💓

[@annabanzon313]

I'm like Erin, because I've seen way too much in my own faith journey and in church. I probably need a detox 😆.

[@lililili2103]

I am from Muslim country, my aunt force d me to go to the church when I was kid. Now 34, I am calling I am Christian,but I have a lot of questions. Why God create us,what is the purpose? Why we have to struggling? Why we can just enjoy life? If it’s one God who is Jesus?why God had one son? Who can answer me please

[@mariaparks7150]

Praying I answer this correctly. God created us for His purpose. We are here to tell others about Him and salvation. We have struggles because of fall of Adam and Eve. We can enjoy like because God is still in control of everything. Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are three in one. Just like a person can be a mother, sister and friend (same person). God bless 🙏🏽

[@Mary-Rachel]

What did Jesus mean by I am that I Am? Without predicate nominative. "I am" is also used without a predicate nominative, which is not very common in Koine Greek, thus it is generally interpreted as a self-declaration by Jesus, identifying Himself as God. Isaiah 7:14 And His name shall be Immanuel...I AM GOD WITH YOU!!! (Hebrew bible) ❤❤❤
