This is all I can say to all believers who follow Christ: Try To Stand Out Don't Try To Fit In. Let your personal relationship with Christ convict you to do what is pleasing to God. God Bless You, All.

Deception has begun!!! God is not boring just because He made us plain and simple. We are His masterpiece! Joyce, God Almighty is watching you 👁

My son has lots of tattoos and he's a man of God, he loves Jesus deeply and truly.

Many have found a new way but I love the old. When I fell in love with Jesus, I didn't want to look or act like the world. I wanted to be a light to the world. I'm so thankful for an old preacher man that preached Holy Ghost conviction down on me and I had that born again experience 🙌. There are many false teachers and deceivers that have gone out into the world. Seek God for yourself and he will teach you how to live.

The Church is to “stand out” in the world, not “fit in”.

People need to have that personal relationship with God and that will cut down all of this confusion

I have 4 tattoos and after i got saved i will not put anymore on my body. That's just my choice and beliefs

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28 KJV

Whenever people ask me why I don't have any tattoos I say to them, "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?"😂😂😂👍👍👍no thanks, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.

been in trouble for almost 6 years, been through addiction, homelessness, hopelessness and even suicide.... im still here today, anyone who thinks they cant handle no more...take hold of the rope and have faith in the lord, you will come out on top and it will all make sense in the end. may God be with us all in the mighty name of Jesus Amen!!!!!!!!!!

I’m tattooed, & I pray everyday , 2-3x a day! Only GOD CAN JUDGE ME 💯💕 No regrets baby! God loves me and that’s all that matters

God looks at your heart, and your intentions and reasons for getting your tattoos and piercings, not the tattoos/piercing themselves. Like she said, serving God it's not boring, it's fun, and I think God gets a kick out of the individualism of all his children ☺️

I don't need a tattoo to show people that I belong to Jesus----my love for others does that.

Y'all realize that by us debating on tattoos and such that it's just the enemy's way of distracting us from the true glory of God. Focus on that and reaching out to the people that need it most. Don't worry about the outward appearance and focus on their soul. This is eternity we're talking about people get with the program.

No tattoos!!!! You're a temple of God 😘

I can't believe what I'm hearing. LORD have mercy 🙏🙏

GOD is not worried about your outward appearance HE is worried about your heart and soul

I have two tattoos. I'm a born again Christian with my favorite bible verses on my arm. I'm not going hell. I love Jesus with all of my heart ❤

Wonderful messages ❤ a pastor once said be careful of Christians who begin sentences with a Christian should

I totally agree... The motives of gettimg Something is what matters.. 100%

true its not about physical appearance its whats in your heart and your motives

Joyce will always have a special place in my heart because she’s been there for me going through difficult times.God bless her ministry.

No amount of negative comments can change the the truth. And the TRUTH is that it was because of this amazing woman that I started to believe again. I had the courage to ask Jesus back into my life. And that my friends is what’s important- Joyce Meyer is leading thousands of people all over the world back to God.

They’ll know us by our love. Not by our keeping of self-imposed laws. ♥️

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Personally… I have a tattoo… And I regret it and will get it removed. The body is the Temple of God. And for me personally it was a huge mistake.

Tattooed on the palm of His Hand is speaking figuratively .

What i find most interesting, is that i have 9 tattoos.. and was recently saved. Yet religious people will still judge and make comments when judging thy neighbor is a sin in the bible.

Loving people, loving God, giving to people, helping people, humility, honesty, selflessness, dignity, patience, forgiving heart, to treat all people with respect; to love, honor, respect and cherish your spouse. These are the things which matter to God. And Joyce teaches constantly about all of these things.

1JOHN3:15 _"Do not love the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - - comes not from the Father but from the world. "

I love Joyce Meyer but I can't stand tattoos. They desecrate the body like graffiti on a beautiful building. I believe God spoke out against it in the Old Testament.

I don’t believe we should be Tattoo’d, unless God wrote it on me. There is a difference between Writing and Tattoo. Each of us must not justify but seek to Glorify the Lord. If Joyce thinks it’s ok then that’s upto her. I think she is wrong but that’s just my point of view, and I believe God is right.

So those that think she is wrong, what about those that have tattoos before being saved? They are not worthy because of them? How many of you saying she is wrong wear earrings or makeup? I have earrings and several tattoos! And I LOVE the Lord and will walk with him! Best not to judge and just love! 💙💙

1:35 - it is actually Leviticus 19:28 in case anyone was looking for the verse and got lost.

In my Bible Leviticus 19:28 says “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.” I love Joyce but she did not finish reading that scripture. Even if Jesus and God have tattoos, God has commanded us not to get them. But I understand also that the church should not judge people who do. Bottom line, Jesus wouldn’t have treated someone with a tattoo any different than someone without one, and we are to be Christ like!

Sometimes I need a "love" 💕 button for videos.... Here's the thing I'm grateful for. No matter if her teaching/ Interpretation is right or wrong. There is no condemnation and I receive His forgiveness. God searches my heart and corrects me through the Holy Spirit. Thank You God.

Wow, I can't believe what I'm hearing I pray that the holy spirit lead her to the truth. I thank most people in the comment section for respectfully disagree with her...

Its not religious to obey the father Its called relationship. Called walking with the Lord. :) Blessings ALL

I love you in Christ, Mam... I needed this message. And I got some tattoos and just want to remove them. In Jesus name, I will have money soon for tattoo removal.

I have tattoos, God doesn't love me any less

Anything to get me excited for the Lord is fine with me. I take what I need from the message and leave the rest alone. I've been the happiest I've been in the last few weeks, than I've been in the last several years, because I've been listening to sermons.

I am a 53 yrs old man with 3 earrings and numerous tattoos, and I am just as secure in my relationship with Jesus Christ as any person commenting on this post.

I Love This Lady. She is for Real. God Bless Her & Dave!!❤

I was in a very judgmental church growing up and looked down on if my dress showed a little of my knees. This made me dislike going, I found a wonderful church that is great, if women want to wear pants it is ok. I want to be the same christian in or outside of church Love the message

We are not suppose to fit into this world .bible says we are set apart from darkness ....

That's y I focus on God only . there are so many false teacher's in the world already .

1 Tes. 5:23, I hear all her preaching are very healing and restorative but in this preaching today I prefer to obey and believe in the Bible

almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctors said i’dnever get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I have a job and am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU.

Praise the Lord that when we get to heaven, we will have new bodies, because the bodies we have now are not going with us.

I support her 100%. Get that tattoo go Girl!

Thanks Joyce.....I have a tattoo that says "shalom" on my left leg and one that say "Jesus my anchor" on my right arm. I got this after some time stressed and depressed and being hospitalised in a wellness facility, when I got out I felt a permanent desire to tattoo that God gave me peace and I'm anchored in Christ, that's my marking

Looking at all these comments (tattoos are a sin and you can go to hell for that). I have a tattoo myself but it doesn't change me. I've accepted the Lord into my life. I love the Lord with all my heart. And if people call themselves Christian? Then stop judging and get over it

Gods calling you Joyce! Make it right...

As a teacher you just have to be accurate. To the glory of God.

It is in Leviticus 19:28 not 20:28, and it doesn't say "for the dead" about the tattoo part; only the cutting part says "for the dead." Leviticus 19:28 "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves; I am the Lord."

This is the one and only time that I have ever disagreed with a teaching from Pastor/Teacher Joyce Meyer. No love lost at all. The correct scripture is: “Do not cut your bodies for the dead, and do not mark your skin with tattoos. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28 NLT It's only the cuttings that specifies "for the dead." However, the Scripture (inspired by God Almighty) states do not mark your skin with tattoos. At the end of the verse God says, "I am the Lord." He's saying that He doesn't approve of tattoos at all. Can this verse/subject be revisited?

My sheep hear my Voice and a stranger they will not follow .....Those who have ears to Hear , hear what the spirit is saying.

The way Dave looks at her you can tell that's true love right there

What defiles a person is his desires, his inner thoughts, his feelings, his words and his actions.

You dont need to tattoed ur self to show that you belong to The Lord Joyce... just show it by your fruitful and character...

Jesus himself didn't has any tattoos. He is our example...

These are really the last days, the Joyce Meyer I knew is gone😥, oh my God now I believe Jesus is coming back when I see great teachers of the word loving the world this much

God speaks on principal here. They are general truths that we need to take seriously. They should not be a blending of anything and our lives not surrounded by vanity and Me myself and I mentality

People love to gather to themselves teachings of what they want to hear. It makes them more comfortable in their sin.

Amen!! I agree 1000%......alot of people reading the bible out of context

I thank God every day that he brought me to you! Please don't ever change! You make me smile, laugh and cry with joy at the Word! You are absolutely awesome!!! All the best, Joyce, and may God bless and keep you and yours!!

JESUS: my people are falling away because they lack knowledge of the Scriptures ," don't listen everything you are told and clap ,read the Bible my friends or you will be following a blind person and both of you will fall into a hole

If your body is a temple.. shouldn’t it glorify God and not yourself? She starts off by listing smoking and drinking. Doesn’t smoking ruin your lungs as drinking does your liver. Things we do as Christians shouldn’t be of the flesh but of the Holy Spirit. I personally don’t NEED a tattoo to prove my faith or pronounce. If Joyce wants to show off her tattoo as she stated is that of the flesh?

Philippians 4:8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭4:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How many of you who are judging Joyce right now have never lied, never mocked, never coveted, never divorced, never gossiped, because if you think tattoos are sin so is all the rest of this. I am crippled up, I was at the store one day and a very nicely dressed young man walked passed me and did not offer to help me with my groceries, but another young man came by who had piercings, tattoos and funky colored hair and he offered to help me and he did. Who do you think the Lord pick for his Kingdom?

Simply question : does marking tattoos on your body glorify God or satan? does this act draw you closer to God or to the world?

I already knew this. We just need to pray for wisdom when we read the scriptures. I love how God is worried a out bigger things than a tattoo. Thanks Joyce for a great reminder. LOVE YOU!

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Joyce always reminds us to pray before we do something and to ask for the Lord’s Will...that should go for tattoos too...!!!!

This kind of messages is what people love

What is she talking about at 1:59?! This is not what the Bible says read this properly! I obviously had to go double check after a statement like that “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you read the whole chapter and in the context of this verse, it is much more complex than Joyce is interpreting it as. I believe it is more of a metaphorical meaning than what Joyce states it as. Maybe I’m wrong?

God don’t chenge. If He did not like tattoos in Old Testament He still the same. God never chenge.

Lady, while I grew up with a couple televangelists (that I won’t name) that for the most part ‘got it’, I have to ask you, where exactly were you when I was growing up? I could’ve bypassed a lot of, ahem, ‘religious’ garbage. All I can say now is ‘yay!’ for the ones that get to grow up WITH your ministry, books and preaching. They can bypass the nightmare my Sister and I went through. God bless you and your ministry, Joyce Meyer & Team.

I 100% agree with this. I started getting tattoos when i was young before following christ. Then i became a follower of jesus christ and instantly felt the judgement of people for how i looked. I started reading the scriptures through a legalistic lens. I became super devoted read the beautiful truth multiple times and truly love and still love fellowship with our Lord, but a big reason for the church to turn me off was religious spirits. I lost count on how many times i was openly judged for my tattoos in my early 20s. Now i am 30 and instead of running away from church I am having to unlearn from all experiences and get a new perspective. For all the judge mental christians out there. Just know you are no better than the pharisees and true love of Jesus will never judge based on outside appearance.

It doesn't say that God has us tattooed on His hand. It says: Isaiah 49:16 “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” graven is deeply impressed; firmly fixed. It's not tattoo. Since majority of the large crowds are cheering, be very weary and worry for your souls. Beware of the false teachers that say things for your itching ears.

Its a personal choice if you want tattoos or not. I have tattoos and I love all of them. And I believe in the Lord 😘

Joyce Meyers is one of my favorite people, her series called Believing God is awesome, I still listen to it today. Remember some people had tattoos and other issues before they got saved!!!

God can and will use a well thought out, designed, and artfully done tattoo; even a simple one. Imagine how many people one person can witness to using one tattoo. I’ve had artists ask “why this design?”. My most recent one says, “You are enough”. The artist asked, so I told him the story and how God reminded me that no matter how unworthy people I love make me feel, He said “You are enough”. I felt I needed that reminder on my forearm so I could see it and be reminded God says I am enough. One seed planted 🥰

No beautiful clothes, jewellery, tattoos can make me happy But the love of Christ. The people who are worldly may find mortal happiness that way. Find happiness that is eternal. Love God & all his commandments.

Surely, we will die inside because of lack of knowledge 😭😭😭

This is hands-down the best I have heard from Joyce Meyer and I absolutely love me some Joyce Meyer God bless her and everybody here and the chat I love you all! 💗🕊💗

This is why i love her...shes a preacher but shes cool and she has been there and done that and lives to tell about it

Awesome Joyce Meyer, you are real.. God accepts us for who we are, tattoos, piercings everything.

Thank you thank you Joyce. Love this message! I got a very large piece accross my shoulder blades of an Angel taking a baby up with them. I lost a baby 3 and a half years ago. This was my was of dealing with my feelings of the loss, knowing the Lord has that baby.

I have a tattoo that says Saved by Grace through Faith Ephesians 2:8 It shows not only who I am but Whose I am.

Being set apart is not SO much about the physical, but about how we CARRY ourselves and how we TREAT people. How we let the love of GOD flow through us. I’m not saying the physical doesn’t play a part, but it’s not as huge as people argue about.

"Why would I do that? Just to make religious demons mad" "Well your not like me, - thank God!" 💖💖 She didn't say go out and get a million tattoos, she said have the right motive when your going to get the tattoo. If you don't want one don't get one. She is saying it's ok to be yourself! We have to pursue happiness! Not religion. It doesn't mean go wild, it means don't be afraid to be you

I never heard ANY preaching on these things😊 It's awesome.

I grew up in church where ladies don’t wear jewelry (other than their wedding ring), no pants, no makeup etc everything she said at the beginning of the video and I don’t see anything wrong with that. It’s people who are trying to live According to what the Bible says. Who are we to knock them? Call it legalism all you want, it’s people striving to be holy. And I for one commend them.

I will say one thing about Tats and earrings is; "for who's glory do you wear it, His or yours?"

When Christ lives in us, only his works(heavenly) are portrayed out. If anything of this world will influence in us, then it will manifest in worldly pleasures such as these, which will finally end in sin(doesnt matter how strong we are spiritually) it just portrays that we are of this world(devil).

Last time I checked the Bible we’re not supposed to be wasting time having arguments about the LAW were supposed to be saving souls! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m not sure how having a tattoo is really damaging to the advancement of GODS kingdom. 😂

Come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord.

Mrs pastor joice mayer is super natural actress...as well as..good preacher 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰😊😊😊

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking(Merry) but, of righteousness, peace and joy in Holy ghost. My God help us to discern
