His Joy Our Way Of Life

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: When you are in the presence of the Lord there is great joy. We are to walk in that overflowing joy 24/7, not just have an experience now and then. When we are overflowing with the Spirit of the Lord, all our restraints are gone and we find our selves full of His joy. We must stop just talking about these experiences and by faith walk in it today. In His presence is fullness of joy! Show Notes: We are to live in the overflow of the Holy Spirit. When we live there His joy fills our hearts. The Holy Spirit helps us with this, in that He brings back to our remembrance our experiences of being in His presence. We must be in motion for the Lord to direct us into the appropriation of these things. By the provisions that the Lord has given us of appropriation, (The Communion and Worship) we appropriate the overflow of the Holy Spirit today. This is the way of life, the culture that He is creating in His family.   Quotes: ...When you get that overflow of, of that type of joy, you're so; you're uninhibited you, you lose all your self consciousness; you just spill over on everybody. I believe that's the way we're supposed to be is an overflowing vessel of His joy. You talk about rattling the earth, you will rattle the earth. And everybody around you if you walk in what I'm talking about is the overflowing joy and love. I say let's do it, Lord. My statement to the Holy Spirit is okay. I'm eating of the body that makes this capable. I'm drinking the blood that has the life to make this capable. And then I open my heart and I worship Him. It's a way of life. It's a part of the expression of the culture that we're a part of. We send this podcast out with a heart that believes God's people are turning to Him.   References: II Samuel 6:14-15 And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. 15 So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams’ horns.
