Righteousness Produces Great Joy

A game we learned to play as children on the playground. We were told to walk like, talk like, & act like the child in front. All in fun, this was a exciting energetic action packed game. Everyone of us got a big kick out of it. Did you that the Spirit of the living God will help you follow the word? And while your at it, if you have clear understanding of the word, it can be fun, because God is a happy God. It can be energetic because the Spirit Of God will get in your feet and he will move you around the world gracefully. Sometimes you will dance as you go. He will cause your journey to be action packed. You will have opportunity to lay your hands upon the sick and they shall recover. On other occasions, you may be moved upon to laugh and laugh and laugh. For in Joy there’s is tremendous strength, and your character can remain lovely. Yes God is a Happy God. You can be a Child Of God.

Let’s follow the Leader in our hour. God never meant for your Christian walk to be a drudgery.

Rom. 8: 14,15

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

God With us. Isn’t it wonderful? We’re never alone, He’s right in the middle of the things that we do. He gives His input, in hopes that we’ll respond. He wants to make things easier. As we yield to His promptings, we smile. Because everything works out just fine, I’m glad that He’s a friend of mind. Thank you Jesus for bringing the Father into our lives.

Exodus 33:14

And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Man ,“ I prayed, and it’s not working out, it’s getting worse.” God, “Who told you that?”  Man, “I guess it was the devil.” God, “ I thought you resisted him, he wasn’t even there. That’s your own carnal mind speaking up to you.” Man, “ Oh, what do I do?” God, “Say only what I said and you will receive.” Man, “ God, it sounds like I’m lying when I say that I am blessed and I see all this trouble.” God, “ How could you be lying if you say what I tell you to say? I call things that are not as though they were, you must do the same. Go back to my word a get every scripture that talks about Me blessing you, blessing your family blessing your health and begin to say that only. Man, “ Are you sure this will work?” God, “ My Son gave his Life’s blood so that it would. Stay with it, you’ll begin to think better, then your circumstances will change.” Romans 4:17

“Just roll that over on my shoulder.” Thats what Jesus is saying, when He said, “take my yoke upon you and learn of me, “for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” His design was for you to carry the word while He carried the burdens. The cares, the worries, those things that cause one’s heart to stoop. He has already taken care of everything for you if you will carry His word in your heart. It’s fixed. It’s a done deal! No more heavy loads, no more mind bending; mind crippling thoughts, give them all to Him, and in turn take His word and go free. 

1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].

Seek peace and pursue it, is the title of my blog. For peace has the attribute of bringing things under control. Settling for less or anything else will cause me to stagger and become  stressed. Peace is a vehicle for creativity. It acts as a housing agent for my plans to work. When I think about peace, and put actions to my (thinks) Lol. I empower, and energize, myself to keep producing and showing others the way. Peace is my umpire, it calls the shots, it takes the pressure out of decisions, It reminisces of past glories, and prepares a way for future stories.

Isaiah 32:17-18 

The work of righteousness will be peace,And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places

Allowing the word of God to sit at your table and stand at the foot of your bed and  be constantly on your mind breaks the power of a “Fretting Spirit.” Turning and churning in your heart and your thinking, the everlasting covenant takes control. Then all of the space that was occupied by that worry is filled to capacity, and precious rest and peace accompanies thee. 

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

All are family in the body of Christ. God knows each of us by name.  He’s acquainted with our thoughts. He know exactly why we respond in the manner we do. He is so well acquainted with us, that if we stood before him today, he would share with us things in advance before we spoke them. But now he wants us to be acquainted with him. He wants us to know his deepest thoughts. He really would love it if we got into his word and devoured it so that he could have more buddies to fellowship with. For the only thing that stands between you and He, is your knowledge of what He’s like. What His likes are. What gives Him the greatest joy. What pleases Him. Come on. This is your call. Get to know the Lord through his word. Then how sweet your fellowship.

Eph. 3:14-19

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

The storms of life have been many, and there have been many casualties, but ye which remain, raise the standard against the enemy (Satan). God will protect, restore, and resurrect the standard of righteousness in the midst of his people. 

1 Tim. 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2 Tim. 1:13

13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
