JOY
What is this that we feel so deep inside when we are at our highest high or lowest low. And we can’t seem to wrap our mind around what we see: this never-ending trip around the same mountain. It is the testimony of our spirit to our natural self; confirming the place where we are, at that moment, versus the place we could be: we’ve stayed too long (trapped in self-trying instead of trying YHWH) which has made it hard to see a new and wonderful horizon. Or is it the battered and worn mind, body and spirit that has come through one battle too many and long for a much-needed rest (Matthew 11:28-29 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls). So, no matter what type of rest we need we can find it in our LORD and please, Lord, take us out of our feelings so that we may experience Your TRUTH in all we do.
We don’t ask for the trials, troubles and tribulations and to be frank and honest, we would rather not have them. Praise Yah any how! But our destiny calls for them to come as often as need be, to sharpen, form, shape, strengthen, work out that which we don’t need to continue our journey and to give us what we do need. It is very hard, at times, to continue with a positive attitude when all hell Is breaking loose around you. Yet you keep pushing forward; knowing that the enemy may win a skirmish, but he has already lost the war (Revelation 19:20/21).
You get up with a song in your heart, knowing that this is the day that the LORD has made and you want so much to be glad in it, only to have someone try and snatch the joy, that YAH, has given you, out of your spirit. But Yashuah gives joy no man can take from you .(John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you).This usually happen when you find that those around you are not happy themselves. They find no joy in their lives, so they take their frustration out on those nearest them. And instead of asking YHWH, through Yashuah to reveal the true avenue for finding His lasting joy, they choose to try and give themselves joy, through money, the physical or any other means that does not involve YAH.
In order to be at peace with yourself and enjoy life as YHWH intended, we must know, that we know, that Yashuah is our Lord and Saviour, sent not only to save our lives from destruction and sin but also to give us the best life possible, while in our fleshly form. One thing that makes our YHWH stands out in our lives is the fact that YAH will not force Himself on anyone; He offers Himself to us and wait for us to receive Him. And when we face trials, troubles or tribulations, it is up to us, to not get discouraged, throw in the towel (because of someone’s disbelief, mistrust, anger and fear) and quit walking with Yashuah. Our fight for the righteous way of life must continue, walking in the Spirit, until Yashuah return (which is soon) (Galatians 5:16-17 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want). So, we should conclude that, the way may get rough, there may be hills to climb, it may get so cloudy that you can hardly see in front of you but YAH, in His infinite wisdom, has given us the direct path to Him, with the strength to go the distance, climb the mountain, swim the seas and a Light that shines so bright that it shines throughout this life into eternity. The Holy Spirit to clear out the radioactive things in our life by showing us the right way, guide us through the cluttered path, keeping us focus on our goal and protecting us, as we maneuver through our destiny. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
PLEASE BE SAFE EVERYONE.
