What is it that makes the passion in our hearts? What is it that makes us want to live for something because we are willing to die for it?
It is the Joy that comes from the Lord. Is.61:7 calls it Everlasting Joy. This is what we get when we allow the Holy Spirit to rise up with in us and lead us to who we are called to be. Simply put, when we obey God and allow Him to work through us we get the benefits of experiencing heaven.
Here is the pod cast.. Enjoy. Give it like 5 mins to load it is a huge file…sorry
Here is my outline.. it has all the scriptures…
OUTLINE–
Restoring the Kingdom in you Part 3
Is. 61:7
“Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore, in their land they shall possess double: everlasting joy shall be theirs.”
This comes after Is 61:1-4
1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
When you begin to step out
God shows up–
Healing, Miracles, the things that we are hoping for.
Your life changes
You become a creature like what you surround your self with Good or bad
You begin to see life through the filterless ideal that God created you to be– Faith!
You become who you were called to be
You WILL experience Joy and fullness in life.
My testimony–Right after I got saved!
Kinds of Joy you get to experience
Everlasting Joy
IS. 61:7
Joy that lasts for ever.
Doesn’t go away
Salvation Joy:
Hunger For more of God,
Desire for his presence
Ps. 51:12 “Restore unto to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me by your generous spirit”
The Word and the teachings of the word become new and fresh!
Righteous Joy
The Feeling of Forgiveness
Job 33:26 “ He shall pray to God and he will delight in him, He shall see His face with Joy, for he restores to man His Righteousness.”
Job 33:26-28 (the Message) 26-28 “Or, you may fall on your knees and pray—to God’s delight! You’ll see God’s smile and celebrate, finding yourself set right with God. You’ll sing God’s praises to everyone you meet, testifying, ‘I messed up my life— and let me tell you, it wasn’t worth it.But God stepped in and saved me from certain death. I’m alive again! Once more I see the light!’
Not Having to hid from God any more
That looming feeling that God is just waiting to smite you.
Knowing that you are God’s delight
His Love, His Joy, the thing that he wants most.
FREEDOM!!
You get to be who you are and that is AWESOME!
Strength Joy
You Get the strength you need for the journey
“ The Joy of the Lord is my Strength” Neh. 8:10
34-35 Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!
Strength Joy produces FAITH, with out faith it is impossible to please God!
Joy OVERFLOW
Ps. 16:11
“You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of Joy, at your right hand are pleasures forever more.
Is. 61:10
“ I will greatly rejoice in the Lord my soul shall be joyful in my God For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness.
Roman 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteouness peace and Joy in the holy spirit.
