Vernieuw je denken met Joyce Meyer🌍 De wereld draait door – God niet | Leven met een zuiver geweten | Joyce Meyer | Podcast🌿 De wereld verandert voortdurend, maar God blijft dezelfde. Hoe leef je met innerlijke rust en een zuiver geweten in een wereld vol druk en verandering? In deze overdenking deelt Joyce Meyer een krachtige les uit het leven en onderwijs van Paulus. Hij sprak over het wandelen met een volkomen zuiver geweten — niet alleen voor God, maar ook voor mensen. Een levenshouding waarin integriteit centraal staat, zowel verticaal (in relatie met God) als horizontaal (in relatie met anderen). Paulus leert dat het geweten heilig is, en dat het schenden van je geweten leidt tot innerlijke onrust en geestelijke schade. Joyce legt...

Dagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerEen verantwoord leven – Joyce Meyer NederlandLeef jij een verantwoord, duurzaam leven? Misschien heb je jezelf er weleens op betrapt dat je dingen zegt als: "Ik kan dit niet meer langer. Ik kan dit gewoon niet voor altijd blijven volhouden." Als je zulke opmerkingen maakt, dan zeg je eigenlijk, "Ik weet dat ik grenzen heb en dat ik die bereikt heb, maar ik ga deze negeren en zie wel hoe lang ik ermee weg kan komen Als we teveel van onszelf vragen, dan waarschuwt ons lichaam ons, met een pijntje hier of een pijntje daar. Maar vaak denken we: Ach het komt wel...
2026-01-1003 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce Meyer"Verleid worden" om het goede te doen – Joyce Meyer NederlandEén ding wat ons verleidt tot zonde is om te goed over onszelf te denken en teveel op onszelf te vertrouwen. Dit gedrag wordt aangemoedigd door de vijand. We worden hoogmoedig en denken dat het goed met ons gaat, maar dan brengt de duivel ons in verleiding en vervallen we in zonde. De volgende uitspraak komt misschien als een schok voor jou: Je moet weten dat er ook een goede verleiding bestaat. We moeten ons realiseren dat Satan ons verleidt om te zondigen, maar dat God ons op een bepaalde manier verleidt om het goede te d...
2025-11-2402 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerWraak nemen is aan God – Joyce Meyer NederlandWanneer iemand ons boos maakt, vind Satan het fijn om ons boos te houden. Reageren met genade en vergeving is precies het tegenovergestelde van wat de vijand wil dat we doen, omdat dit zijn plan vernietigt om ons vast te houden in boosheid. Dit komt niet van nature en het is niet altijd makkelijk, maar als wij doen wat we kunnen, dan zal God doen wat wij niet kunnen. Wanneer iemand boos op je is of je aanvalt, dan is het voor de meesten van ons een natuurlijke reactie om hen betaald te zetten. Maar als we...
2025-11-1903 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerHet Woord ontvangen en doorgeven – Joyce Meyer NederlandSoms lijden we onder de aanvallen van de vijand alleen vanwege onze betrokkenheid met het Woord van God. Marcus 4:17 spreekt van diegenen die het Woord horen maar mensen zijn van het ogenblik, …zo gauw er dan vanwege het woord onderdrukking ontstaat of vervolging, komen ze meteen ten val. Satan weet dat het Woord ons zal versterken en hij wil dat stoppen voordat we het kunnen verspreiden naar anderen. Het is dus van levensbelang dat je het Woord in je hart bewaart en dat je de duivel weerstaat wanneer hij komt om het van je te stelen. Als je...

Math Teacher LoungeHear from Dan Meyer on Season 2 of Beyond My Years!Dan Meyer recently joined the Beyond My Years podcast to share some of his favorite strategies (and hard-earned lessons) for engaging students in math class. Listen in, as Dan joins host Ana Torres to share his journey in education, including his early struggles to engage students. In this episode, The right questions for the “wrong” answers, Dan provides models for grounding lessons in real life, giving students more opportunities to show off their personalities, and reframing mistakes and “wrong answers” as valuable answers to different questions. He also touches on technology use in the classroom and how to know w...

Misschien beseffen we niet hoe ongelukkig we zijn wanneer we de last van zorgen dragen. De enige manier om overwinning in ons leven te hebben is door Gods wijsheid te volgen, en Hij zegt dat we moeten stoppen met ons zorgen te maken als we vrede willen hebben. Dus als er gebeurtenissen op ons pad komen die ertoe leiden dat we ons zorgen maken, dan hebben we Gods hulp nodig. Hoe krijgen we die? 1...
2025-10-0303 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerLachen! – Joyce Meyer NederlandIedereen weet hoe wij moeten lachen. Het is een van de grootste geschenken die God ons gegeven heeft. Een lach zorgt ervoor dat mensen zich goed voelen, en mensen zien er zo prachtig uit wanneer ze lachen. Als de vreugde in je leven duidelijk zichtbaar is, dan straalt het af op anderen. Maar wanneer je Gods vreugde in je binnenste opgesloten houdt en niet toestaat dat het op je gezicht te zien is, dan ontneem je de mensen om je heen een plezierige en vernieuwende ervaring. De meeste mensen begrijpen niet dat door uiting te geven aan...

2025-10-0139 minDagelijkse overdenking met Joyce MeyerGeduldig wachten – Joyce Meyer NederlandWij willen allemaal wel af en toe een verandering in ons leven, maar we willen niet altijd door het benodigde proces heengaan om het te bereiken. Het duurt gewoonlijk langer dan we denken dat het zou moeten en dan zijn er ook nog gaandeweg periodes van wachten. De grote vraag is, gaan we op de verkeerde of juiste manier wachten? Als we op de verkeerde manier wachten, dan zullen we ons ellendig voelen; maar als we besluiten om op Gods manier te wachten, kunnen we geduldig worden en in feite genieten van het wachten. Er is oefening...
2025-09-1403 minDagelijkse 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. Dat gebeurt wanneer de angst binnen sluipt. Als je vastberaden bent om je droom nooit op te geven, dan moet je risico's durven nemen. Je moet moedig zijn. En je mag weten dat moed hebben niet betekent dat er geen angst is; tegen de stroom durven ingaan ook al ben je bang. 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 kan mij herinneren dat ik het vermakelijk vond om in het park of winkelcentrum te zitten en gewoon te kijken naar alle mensen die voorbij kwamen terwijl ik een mening over elk van hen vormde; hun kleding, kapsel, hun gezelschap enzovoorts. Maar de Bijbel zegt dat...

Als we ook maar één ding in ons leven zouden kunnen controleren, dan zou dat de liefde voor andere mensen moeten zijn. Veel mensen denken dat een groot geloof het belangrijkste teken is voor geestelijke volwassenheid.

Maar in Openbaring 18 staat dat wanneer we ons vertrouwen op geld stellen dat het zal mislukken. 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. Als we meer doen voor anderen, dan zullen we ontdekken dat we gelukkiger en meer voldaan zijn dan dat we ervoor w...

Ik geloof dat God ons test om te zien of we naar deze test zullen leven. Er zijn tijden dat Hij iemand voor ons plaatst die precies heeft wat wij zouden willen, gewoon om te zien hoe we hierop zullen reageren. Totdat we slagen voor Zijn: 'Ik ben b...

Hij weet dat, wanneer we worden afgeleid door de zorgen van het leven, we meer dan waarschijnlijk onze tijd met God zullen beginnen te verwaarlozen. Om ons trouw te houden aan Hem en in nauwe en solidaire vriendschap met Hem te blijven, wil God dat we afleidingen verwijderen die ons van Hem scheiden, zelfs als dat pijn doet. Bijvoorbeeld, als onze carrière of het verlangen naar geld of een hogere sociale status belangrijker zijn dan God te behagen, moeten we onze prioriteiten bijstellen. Of misschien hou...
