JOYFULNESS OF MIND AND HEART<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the will of God?\u00a0 That we rejoice and be glad in Him.\u00a0 That we purpose to have joy in our minds and in our hearts.\u00a0 That we stir up the joy of our salvation.\u00a0 That we serve Him with joyfulness and gladness of mind and heart for all that He has given to us.<\/p>\n

You might say:\u00a0 Well, I don\u2019t see anything good happening in my life.\u00a0 There is where most of us make our mistake—-I DON\u201dT SEE!\u00a0 What do you see?\u00a0 Do you see the trouble all around you or do you see God\u2019s Word which says that He will deliver you out of all trouble?\u00a0 We must learn to see what God’s plan is for us and not what it looks like in the natural world to our physical eyes.\u00a0 Then we PERSIST in standing our ground for God’s plan, regardless of what is happening or how long it seems to take to accomplish His plan.<\/p>\n

We are living in a time where it is vital (not an option) that we CHOOSE to see God and His Word being performed in our lives and for us.\u00a0 Yes, our natural eyes and ears are seeing and hearing things we never thought we would see and hear.\u00a0 BUT, we must choose to hear what God is saying in His Word and to see what God is seeing.\u00a0 We must put on His eyes and His ears.\u00a0 It is a daily, perhaps a minute-by-minute choice for us.<\/p>\n

Joy keeps God\u2019s power and presence active in our lives.\u00a0 Grumbling, complaining, judging, analyzing, murmuring about what is going on, brings satan\u2019s presence to us.\u00a0 Yes, it is true.\u00a0 We may not want to admit it but there are only two that are active in mankind\u2019s life; it is either God Almighty or it is satan.\u00a0 JOY—-GOD!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MURMURING—-SATAN!<\/p>\n

Wow!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I am getting in the space of joyfulness of mind and heart.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 28:47<\/strong>\u00a0 Let\u2019s turn it around from the negative to the positive and see what we get.<\/p>\n

I serve the Lord God with joyfulness of mind and heart in gratitude for the abundance of all with which He has blessed me.<\/p>\n

Start today if you don\u2019t already practice this act of joy.\u00a0 Think about what God has sent your way as a blessing.\u00a0 You can begin with being thankful that you are born again and on your way to heaven.\u00a0 That is a reason for rejoicing!\u00a0 You can continue with the fact that you are breathing and alive.\u00a0 Pick up your Bible and start speaking the scriptures of blessing over yourself and your family UNTIL THEY BECOME REALITY in your life.<\/p>\n

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, as the old expression goes.\u00a0 REJOICE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
