Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Joy in Me

The Lord asks: “What is joy that the human heart can discern? Mankind’s joy is but a hollow laugh. It is like a small silver coin, valued one day and lost the next. It is as fleeting as tulips in Spring; a breath of wind and the petals are gone. It appears one minute like the rainbow and then as quickly it vanishes.

But joy in Me is everlasting. It knows no beginnings or endings. It has no boundaries or limits. Its worth cannot be calculated. Its benefits cannot be measured. It transcends human wisdom. It does not favour some over others. It is offered freely but rarely is it received. My children, honour Me with all your heart. Follow My ways with obedience. Praise Me in all circumstances. Approach My presence with thanksgiving on your lips. Then you will find ‘joy in the Lord,’ My blessing for eternity.” 

Activation:

Think about some of the small, daily pleasures that give you joy. Thank the Lord for these. Try to eliminate hurry from your schedule because that is where we breeze past moments of joy that the Lord wants to give us. Ask Holy Spirit to transform your heart and mind to celebrate the setbacks as well as the victories to increase your joy quotient. Pray to the Lord to make you more receptive to the wonder of pure joy that is found in creation, in scripture, and in the promises that He has made over you. Let your spirit bask in these and thank Him for His blessings of joy.

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Psalms 16:11 (AMP)

⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul;
The statutes of the LORD are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.

⁸ The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Psalm 19:7-8 (AMP)

“They will come and sing aloud and shout for joy on the height of Zion,
And will be radiant [with joy] over the goodness of the LORD—
For the grain, for the new wine, for the oil,
And for the young of the flock and the herd.
And their life will be like a watered garden,
And they shall never sorrow or languish again.

Jeremiah 31:12 (AMP)
