>> "The joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10.
>>
>> Joy!
>>
>> It's not a happy feeling you're supposed to have now and then when things
>> are going well.
>> It's much more than that.
>>
>> Joy is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world.
>>
>> Look again at Nehemiah 8:10 and I'll show you why.
>> If you were to diagram that scripture and remove the phrase, "of the
>> Lord,"
>> -you would find what it's truly saying is this:
>>
>> Joy is strength!
>> The two are interchangeable.
>>
>> That's what makes joy so crucial.
>> You can't live a life of faith without being strong in the Lord--
>> And when God wants to make you strong, joy is what He uses to do the job!
>>
>> Joy is not just a state of mind.
>> It is not a fleeting emotion.
>>
>> Joy is a very real force!
>> And the devil doesn't have anything that can stand up against it.
>>
>> Just as fear has to yield to faith-
>> - discouragement has to yield to joy.
>>
>> Since joy is one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit-
>> - you already have it residing within you.
>> But you must develop it, confess it, and live by it if you want to enjoy
>> its
>> power.
>>
>> Whatever circumstances you are facing today, you can be full of joy.
>> You can be strong in the Lord.
>> You can draw on the supply of the Holy Spirit within you and come out on
>> top.
>>
>> Rejoice!
