Joy, An Aspect Of Faith!

 Psalm 4:7

God is the giver of true joy.

Joy is an aspect of true faith.

I'm referring to God given joy, this type of joy is not dependent on natural or outward factors, it doesn't need something physical to happen for this joy to erupt.

This joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22

Joy is more important than many people realize when it comes to their lives and spiritual walk.

Guard your joy and see to it  that no one steals it.

The enemy will try to steal your joy, he will use people, situations, circumstances and all sorts of distractions and gimmicks to try and steal your joy.

John 10:10

You will do well not to give in to the enemy and his tricks, don't fall for it.

We need our faith to please God.

Hebrews 11:6

Joy reveals and reflects your faith.

If you receive from God you will be joyful.

John 16:24

We need faith to receive from God.

Faith demands we believe and know we have received from God  before we receive the physical manifestation of that which we were trusting for.

If you believe God has heard you, you will be joyful before you get the tangible answer you released your faith for..

True faith demands we should be as joyful as we will be when the physical manifestation of our faith arrives, even when we haven't seen it yet.

Even our giving should be done with joy, our giving is an aspect of our worship.

Mark 12:41

When giving, we are meant to do so with joy.

2 Corinthians 4:7

It is a pleasure to serve God.

Whatever we do, the scriptures say we should do it unto the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:31

If we are truly doing things unto the Lord, we should be joyful doing it unto God.

Our joy is a signal.

It sends a signal to heaven that we derive pleasure living for God and serving Him.

Isaiah 60:5

God looks out for our joy and wants us living joyful lives.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
