Joy in the Holy Ghost

Romans 14:17 NKJV

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Where the spirit of the Lord is there liberty

In his presence, there is fullness of joy

And your weakness, you have his perfect strength

And your struggle, you have his steadfastness

Your once in bondage now you have his freedom

Cause your circumstances can’t penetrate the protection of his presence

You have to seek after it

You have to stay there

In my anxiety on my knees

In my anger, I’m on my knees

In sickness I’m on my knees and my happiness

I’m on my knees.

James says count it all joy

Your predisposition as a New Testament believer is joy

Once your tenancy was for anger

Was for anxiety

We now have the susceptibility to joy we choose joy

We can have peace

Rejoice is not something you can just read something must happen

There’s there’s a demonstration

You have to understand what happens in the spirit when you rejoice

Makes the devil angry when you rejoice

We have to live in the joy of the Holy Ghost

He’s our advocate

Our helper

James 1:2–4 NKJV

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Lacking or wanting nothing

God will get your prayers from where you are

I don’t know what to pray

I don’t know what to do

You lean on the joy of the Lord to be your strength

You lean on the joy of the Holy Ghost in your frustration

In your ignorance

In your inexperience

God will take you to place where you won’t

Need anything, lack anything

Because you’ll have Him!
