Dagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerMeer dan overwinnaars – Joyce Meyer NederlandGod geeft ons dromen voor de toekomst, maar soms kan het lijken dat deze dromen onmogelijk te verwezenlijken zijn.

Dus wanneer je geconfronteerd wordt met situaties die bedreigend of intimiderend voor je zijn, bid dan voor Gods genade om je vrijmoedigheid en moed te...2025-07-1802 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerLeer te zeggen: “Het gaat me niets aan” – Joyce Meyer NederlandDagelijks komen we duizenden dingen tegen die noch goed noch fout zijn maar gewoon persoonlijke keuzes zijn; keuzes waarop men zelf het recht heeft deze te maken zonder bemoeienis van buitenaf. De duivel blijft heel druk met demonen aanstellen om veroordelende gedachten te plaatsen in het menselijk verstand.

Ik heb ontdekt dat de manier waarop je met geld omgaat, in plaats van er krampachtig over doet, is proberen God meer te geven... want dat kunnen we niet. Hoe meer we geven, hoe meer we Hem gehoorzamen met onze financiën, des te meer zegent Hij ons.
