Righteousness Produces Great Joy

Once again, a brief synopsis of righteousness is believing God enough to act on what he says. 

Romans 1:17

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

James 5:16b,17

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Luke 12:15 – A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions

Romans 14:17 King James Version (KJV)

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost

Fear is not the norm for your life, but walking in light will bring intensive joy. Give yourself wholeheartedly to the development and establishments of his righteousness.

Isaiah 54:14

Isaiah 32:17,18

17.And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

18. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

When Your big brother is looking over your shoulder, you move with confidence. When God is looking over your shoulder, your bold and effective. Get to know your Father In relationship as well as in faith, it will astound you how he will move up right beside you as you speak his word, and the enemy of your soul will depart.

The wicked flee when no man pursues but the righteous are as bold a Lion. Proverbs 28:1

Psalm 35:27 

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Isaiah 60:17  For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

Isaiah 61:10,11

10. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Romans 6:12,13

12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13.  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
