LIVE JOYFULLY

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 (KJV, CEV, TPT), 1THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 (CEV) Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. *Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: Be glad. *Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! *Always be joyful. and never stop praying. Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.

God wants us to be joyful always. God wants us to always have the same joy He has. The joy of the Lord is not just the joy you have because of God, it is the same joy God has. When you have the same joy God has, the strength of God will be stirred up in you and you will be unstoppable, (Neh.8:10). To have the same joy God has, you must have the same focus, mindset and perspective God has. You must be conscious of what God is conscious about and see things the way God sees them. God is always rejoicing over you with singing, (Zeph.3:16-17). He is rejoicing over you because of what He knows about you and what He has already done for you through Christ.

Our joy is not based on what we are going through. Rather it is based on what we know about God, His love, His presence, His power, His promises and His plans for our lives. Jesus wants us to cheer up because He has overcome the world for us, (John 16:33). Jesus has already won the victory for you. Worrying cannot add a cubit or anything positive to your life, (Matt.6:27). Instead, it will drain you of strength and life. Instead of being anxious, pray with faith and thanksgiving about your request and trust God for His abundant grace, (Phil.4:6). All things are working together for your good, (Rom.8:28).

FAITH DECLARATION:
I live joyfully because I have the same joy God has. I have the same focus, mindset and perspective God has.
