HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON HAPPENINGS AROUND US, REAL JOY DEPENDS ON JESUS IN OUR HEART.

THINGS CHANGE IN OUR LIFE, AND WE LOOK FOR HAPPINESS IN PEOPLE AND THINGS,
WHICH ARE NOT ALWAYS THERE.

 HAPPINESS IS FLEETING, WHILE REAL JOY IN JESUS IS FOREVER.

 HAPPINESS IS TEMPORARY AND DEPENDS ON OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES. 
AND WHEN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE WE BECOME UNHAPPY. ( CONTROLLED BY OUR EMOTIONS)

 I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE JOY THAT JESUS PLACES DEEP IN OUR HEART, THAN TO HAVE  FLEETING TIMES OF HAPPINESS THAT DOES NOT LAST.

 DO YOU WANT TO FIND REAL HAPPINESS, IT IS FOUND IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 
HE ALONE CAN PROVIDE SUCH AN EMOTION OF PLEASURE.

 PSALM 144: 14-15  ( WHEN ALL IS GOING WELL)
THAT OUR OXEN MAY BE WELL-LADEN; THERE BE NO OUTCRY IN THE STREETS;
HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SUCH A STATE;  HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD.

 IT IS EASY TO BE HAPPY WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL.

 BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE BLINDSIDED WITH SOMETHING SO UNEXPECTED?
THAT'S WHEN WE TAP INTO THE TRUE JOY DEEP IN OUR SOUL. 
TRUSTING OUR LORD.

 THE JOY THAT WE HAVE KNOWING THAT WE ARE IN GOD'S WILL AND PLAN. 
THE JOY ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE.  HE PLANNED THAT WE WERE TO LIVE AT THIS TIME AND IN  PLACE.

 JOHN 15;11
"THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT MY JOY MAY REMAIN IN YOU, AND THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL.

 TRUE HAPPINESS IS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE IN THE WILL OF GOD, NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE .
WE STILL WILL HAVE  PRAISES IN OUR MOUTH AND TRUST AND FAITH IN OUR LORD.

 HEAVEN IS FILLED WITH JOY.

 LUKE 15:7
I SAY TO YOU THAT LIKEWISE THERE WILL BE MORE JOY IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS THAN OVER NINETY- NINE JUST PERSONS WHO NEED NO REPENTANCE.

 LUKE 15:10
LIKEWISE, I SAY TO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS.

 BELOVED, WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL HAPPY, DRAW ON THE REAL EVERLASTING JOY DEEP WITHIN THAT GOD HAS PLACED IT THERE. 
SING AND PRAISE 
WORSHIP THE LORD NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL, AND THINGS WILL CHANGE IN YOUR EMOTIONS.

 YOU WILL FIND YOU ARE HAPPY AFTER ALL, JUST KNOWING AND LOVING JESUS AND BEING PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD.

 DON'T LIVE BY YOUR EMOTIONS, THEY ARE FICKLE AND CHANGE, BUT LIVE BY FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD. ( PROVERBS 3:5-6)

 2 CORINTHIANS 7:4
GREAT IS MY BOLDNESS OF SPEECH TOWARD YOU, GREAT IS MY BOASTING ON YOUR BEHALF.
I AM FILLED WITH COMFORT.  I AM EXCEEDINGLY JOYFUL IN ALL OUR TRIBULATION.

 BELOVED, ENJOY YOUR DAY IN THE LORD AND BE JOYFUL IN ALL HE IS DOING. 
A GREAT NUMBER OF SOULS ARE BEING ADDED DAILY TO GOD'S KINGDOM.

 LOOK UP OUR REDEMPTION FROM THIS EARTH DRAWS NEAR.  ( 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-18)

 MY SOUL REJOICES TO SEE SUCH A GREAT MOVE OF GOD.  WE WILL OCCUPY UNTIL JESUS COMES FOR US. 
STAY FAITHFUL AND COMMITTED DOING
THE FATHER'S BUSINESS.  TIME IS SHORT.

 GOD BLESS YOUR DAY
JESUS LOVES YOU

 LOVE IN JESUS
JOY

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
