DON’T LET THE DEVIL STEAL YOUR JOY
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
Main Text:
One sure way to stir up joy in your spirit is to spend time fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit. Being born again, you’re in that environment of the Spirit, where there’s glory, life, righteousness, peace, and joy. Those who function outside this environment face frustrations and easily get agitated, because nothing seems to work out in their lives. And because they’re constantly hurting, they tend to hurt others around them too.
The Lord’s desire is for His joy to be in you, irrespective of the circumstances you face. John 15:11 “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” Satan has three fundamental goals which are to kill, steal and destroy, you’ve the responsible under heaven to stop him from trespassing into your domicile. Don’t allow bad news deter you from the glory that lies ahead, your end isn’t defined by your present circumstance.
The bible says you are wonderfully and fearfully made (Ps 139:14) it goes on to say God’s plan for you are of peace and to give you are bright future (Jer. 29:11), therefore don’t allow Satan rob you of what God plans for you in the coming days. You’ve authority over him by the name of Jesus!
Confession: I’m full of joy, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit today! I live in God’s presence where fullness of joy and pleasures abound forevermore. My joy is full! Hallelujah!
