OPTIMIZING GOD-GIVEN JOY

What this episode covers

2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV) For our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. In the Kingdom of God, you express the joy of the Holy Spirit! Never allow even a moment of being downcast; it is inconsistent with the life God intended for those who follow Him. Despite this, many Christians settle for happiness based on the happenings around them.  Christ saved you from being bound by feelings. Therefore, you must live above the circumstances and choose to optimize the joy God has given you freely through Christ Jesus. Optimizing God-given joy means fully taking advantage of what God gave you when you became a born-again follower of Christ! The principle of the Kingdom is what you see is what you get. When you look with your optical eyes and things are not how you want them to be, lift your sight! See with the eyes of the spirit; view your situation from the perspective of the One who has delivered you from it! Live above your situations today, and adopt a joyful nature rather than a life fuelled by your feelings! PROPHETIC DECLARATION  I am optimizing my God-given joy! I live above the circumstances around me. When I see things I don’t like taking place in my life, I switch from viewing them with my optical eyes and use the eyes of my spirit instead!
