Description

Joy is from God We all want to be happy. Happy is temporal and temporary. It depends on what is happening at the moment. Joy is deeper. Joy comes from God. That feeling that can make you weep from the inside. That feeling like seeing the birth of your child, the return of your child, feeling the love of your child, feeling the love of a close friend. You know that feeling. its safety, security, outside of time, that can occur wherever you are. Satan hates joy. he sends demons and his people to stop yours as soon as you feel it. Think about the last time you felt some joy. It wasn't long before someone made a offhand, sarcastic, negative, nasty or straight up evil comment or action you had to recoil or defend. That was not from God. Psalm 51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Joy is evidence (fruit) of the Spirit of God in you. We are to seek to be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, as disciples of a living God, followers of Jesus. you should expect to fight with the enemies of God. You are in a constant fight against good and evil why are you surprised? if you weren't on Gods side, the devil wouldn't bother with what he already had. You'd be a part of the world, part of the lost, part of those going on an express one way ticket to hell. but you are not. so you woke up this morning feeling good. a few minutes later someone said something that changed your mood, we have to learn how to fight better than that. learn to bob and weave, parry and side step. Don't stand there and marvel at how you got hit. Or worse stand flat footed and just take a spiritual beating. Prepare for battle so your joy will stay intact by the end of the day. work on yoru responses to negatives, the verbal judo, the war for your soul. I didn't say counter punch or try to hurt them but deflect, reflect and do as Jesus would. Pray about that and how you will r
