JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGHT

Many go through hardships, pain and struggles in life. However God did not design for us to go through the stress. Stress is an enemy of man.

No matter the circumstances God is sovereign and He is always ready to help in a time of need. It is sad that many people do not have hope and do not know God to take advantage of His help in their recovery. The reason people do not do this is because they listen to the outside voices that do not know the truth including their own minds. When disease, financially difficulties, in relationship any kind (especially family) strikes no matter what, God has a solution for them.

There is nothing in this world, and no difficulties for which God does not have the answer or solution.

To find the truth in the Word of God one must seek and spend time to find it. The same is with finding wisdom and solutions to problems.

God did not hide from us the solution, but the Bible is written not in a Western style, which has Greek philosophers type. The Bible is written in Israeli style where they lived.

Joy is a fruit of the human spirit. I am talking about the human spirit, which became alive by the quickening of the Holy Spirit.

Joy is on second place of love, after agape love, the God kind of life. 

Happiness is an emotion and is the property of the flesh. The flesh as everything we can see and is subject to change. Happiness is circumstantial and changeable.

Joy is permanent, inside, secure, since it is part of the spirit. The spirit of man never changes. Sadness may obscure or overshadow joy but will never remove it as far we are connected with God and His Word.

It makes me sad that my friends do not see the truth on purpose but rely instead on the opinions of others or on their own mind, which qualifies as religion. Religion is a disaster. It is everything but God. I had many friends like this in the past.

It is harmful to be in darkness and not be able to see. Then it is impossible to find the truth and not be set free.

Joy is producing the strength. It makes you stronger and devil cannot stand it. He must run. He always does. He is friendly to your sad fearful face, even you inner face, which is hidden below and cannot be seen.

But here is faith also available. One day (there is no shadow of a doubt) that my friends will see God and find the truth. My only regret is they do not take an advantage of it to have that full joy now.

When we are on WORD, we are in joy and we are strong. Then we are positive and victorious.

Glory to God – our Adonai.     

Ref. Nehemiah 8:10

No. 10909

"One day (not shadow of doubt) my past friends will see God and find the truth. Only one regret is they do not take an advantage to have full joy now." - You've said it right, Vladimir. I can sign under it.
