POWER-PACKED JOY

What this episode covers

Psalm 16:11 (KJV) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.   Happiness is based on happenings, whereas joy is a decision every child of God has to make. Notice I said ‘decision’, not ‘feeling’. The Bible tells us to count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptations. This means joy is not dependent on circumstances but a choice.  A popular verse amongst preachers and congregation alike says, ‘Rejoice in the Lord always’ (Philippians 4:4). Many Christians do not realise the circumstances in which this passage was written. Paul was writing to the church of Philippi whilst in prison! Yet, despite the horrendous conditions he was subjected to, Paul could remain joyous through it all. God has equipped all His children with the weapon of joy. The Bible says joy is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries the bones. This shows us that not choosing to be joyful has detrimental effects on your life. Today, choose to confuse the enemy by being joyful regardless of your situation!   PROPHETIC DECLARATION JOY IS MY WEAPON, and my level of joy confuses my enemies. I choose to be joyous no matter what happens around me today in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Hallelujah!   FURTHER STUDY John 16:24 DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THE GOODNEWS DAILY DEVOTIONAL AT: www.goodnewsworld.com/goodnewsdaily
