Sons and Daughters, there are challenges ahead and you will need strength for the coming days. Remember that the Kingdom consists of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
However, many of you are caught up ‘firefighting’ the personal challenges of your life or are so busy ‘about the Father’s business’ that you have neglected your first love and lost the ‘joy of the Lord’. Do not forget that My joy is the source of your strength to overcome. Even when you are going through times of great pain, know that it will only last for a season and that joy comes.
My Beloved, I exhort you to daily spend time in worship and adoration so the oil of joy released in My presence can sustain you in the days ahead. Do not neglect to feed on My Word, like Jeremiah, so that it brings joy and delight to your heart and fire to your bones.
I want you to overflow with uncontainable joy no matter how hard life becomes. Joy is your portion. Joy filled praise drives out the enemy of your soul, shifts mindsets and transforms lives. A joy filled life is beautifully contagious, bringing strength and hope to all.
And the disciples were continually filled [throughout their souls] with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Acts 13:52 (AMPC)
To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:
To give them a [a]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.Isaiah 61:3 (AMP)
