I am joy, the source of all joy, just as I am love and peace and hope. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17 ESV).
Allow My Spirit to conquer you and liberate you from death and lack. Tell Me all, not just as a servant but as a friend, for My love is already poured out for you and never ends. Full lasting joy only comes from Me, so keep on setting aside your soul with its demands, consciously putting it down lower than Me, and allow My Spirit to bubble up in you.
Ask Me for demonstrations of My peace and joy. Tune in your heart to meet with Me as your strong brother. Step closer, restfully meditating that you are My bride and My lover. I know you intimately and My heart is for you to know so many aspects of My nature, as well as My joy. Keep coming closer, I will not walk away.
Activation: Ask God what type of intimacy you have with Him. Ask Him how to grow in this area that your joy may be strong, in all circumstances. Imagine feeling your joy reaching to another level by coming into God’s presence. Read Song of Songs chapter one verses 1 to 4 (below) and soak up His utter delight in you.
The Young Shulammite Bride and Jerusalem’s Daughters
1 The [a]Song of Songs [the best of songs], which is Solomon’s. [b](The Shulammite Bride)
2 “May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!” [Solomon arrives, she turns to him, saying,] “For your love is better than wine.
3 “The aroma of your oils is fragrant and pleasing; your name is perfume poured out; therefore the maidens love you.
4 “Draw me away with you and let us run together! Let the king bring me into his chambers.”
Song of Solomon 1:1-4 (AMP)
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
20 Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.
21 He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant to him [the privilege] to sit beside Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down beside My Father on His throne.
Revelation 3:20-21 (AMP)
