(TEXT : Psalms 51:12)
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
FOCUS :
In every born again believers, there is a “Spirit” that always leads to Salvation; and that Spirit is, “The Spirit of Joy and also known as the Spirit of God.” In the journey of life or Faith, there will be ups and downs; rough and tough; pain and sorrow; suffering and afflictions: however, in the midst of all these things we should be able to stand tall to proclaim our “SPIRIT OF JOY.” Don’t loss this Spirit under no circumstances, because the enemies within and without will fight you to take away this Spirit from you, but you must be vigilant to defend this Spirit no matter what.
Psalms 89:15
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
James 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
In addition, when we are saved as believers, this Spirit in us is often seen in all that we do, to demonstrate the power of God in action. Meaning, when we get saved, there is a collaboration between “God’s Spirit and our Spirit”; that proves that we are bound with God’s “Everlasting Joy.” The more the bound of this Joy continues, the more our salvation remains strong and unbreakable. But immediately the “Spirit of JOY” is taken away, our salvation is then exposed to temptations, frustrations, depression, delusions and eventually destruction from the devil.
Romans 8:14-16 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. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Finally, life is a warfare and not funfair; life it’s a battlefield and not butter with bread. You can only overcome in the battlefield if the weapon of your Joy is intact. There are some certain battle that only by the reason of you being joyful alone, your victory is constant. One of the strategy the devil uses whenever he wants to attack any believer is to make you moody, sad, and been sorrowful. And once any of these aforementioned works on any believer, then the devil strick straight to dominate your body, soul, spirit and mind. So, be conscious of what you read, what you see, what you hear and the kind of stuffs you put your hands into: if you want to stay connected to the SPIRIT of JOY that brings you SALVATION.
Isaiah 61:10
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.
