Joyce Meyer

I came from a very difficult background, sexual abuse from my father.

And so I felt really, really bad about myself.

Just lived with condemnation all the time.

Felt like God was mad at me all the time.

My mom, she knew what he was doing.

I just kept praying for him to be saved.

And one morning he was crying.

He said, I just want to apologize to you for what I did to you when you were a little girl.

So we asked him, I said, do you want to give your life to the Lord?

And he said, yes.

And I thought I was buying a house and a car, but actually I was buying a soul.

I'm a little bit used to it.

I do good with it unless, I had a situation where I was in a drugstore and seven rather large ladies

Very emotional ladies approached me at one time and they were screaming and yelling and falling out in the spirit.

And I'm like, get me out of here.

I don't like to make a scene.

That's where I'm going this weekend.

uh tommy barnett is somebody that you learn from or he's he's my our pastor we ask him to be our pastor just because he is so loving and wise and i just i love the way he treats people he's just so kind and good to everybody and i like to be around people that really love people yeah he really is i don't like to be around people that

act one way on the platform and then another way when you see him in person.

And he's very encouraging.
