JOY OF THE LORD CAST OUT SORROW AND OPPRESSION
By Robin Bremer (Ribbons the clown)
This next scripture is key. When we are filled with joy we draw others to us. It is easy to witness when we are filled with joy. People want to serve a God that they can see brings joy to everyone
Psalm 51:12,13: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13: Then …sinners shall be converted unto thee.
This applies to witnessing. We GO…. And witness with joy and are lead with peace.
Is 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:
Psalm 149:5: Let the saints be joyful in glory:
When we are in Gods presence or in the glory it brings joy.
Psalm 30:11: Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness
The Lord brings us out of captivity with Joy
Psalm 105:43: And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
Ps 126:1-5 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.2: Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
OUR JOY GETS THE ATTENTION OF THE HEATHEN!
Here the Bible talks about the oil of joy or gladness. The anointing on Jesus was the oil of JOY. The anointing destroyed the yokes and bondages.
*Psalm 45:7: Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
*Isaiah 61:1-3: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings;…2: . . . to comfort all that mourn; 3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, …the oil of joy for mourning,
*Isaiah 10:27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. The anointing of Joy destroys yokes and burdens!
Joy can be full
Acts 2:28: Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. ( being in God’s presence fills us with Joy)
Acts 13:52: And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. So if you can be full you can be empty or ½ full.
Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God…is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The kingdom of God is power that brings joy
Romans 15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope,through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:7-8: For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.8: And there was great joy in that city.
Joy refreshes your spirit. It is spiritual power
Romans 15:32: That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
2 Corinthians 7:13: . . . exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Philemon 1:7: For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Philemon 1:20: Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord,
Acts 3:19: . . . times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Psalm 16:11: In Your presence is fullness of joy.
Nehemiah 12:43: . . for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Emotions cause chemicals to be released in your body. Laughter releases endomorphs that speed up health and immune systems. Anger causes stress and disease. The Bible tells us to get rid of anger before the sun goes down. Grief and sorrow are dangerous emotions. God says to get rid of by mourning. Fear is a spirit that controls your life and it introduces itself when you are frightened, but its job is to make you paralyzed.
Galatians 5:22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace . . .
Does this scripture above sound familiar?
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit.
Joy is a spiritual substance that has power to change the physical. It is part of the. Kingdom of God in you to rule and have dominion on earth.
