JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST 1 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” (James 1:2)
There is joy and there is joy in the Holy Ghost. Ordinarily, joy is a product of pleasing events. For instance, on her wedding day, a woman would still dance even if the choir refuses to sing. An inaudible song would play in her heart. The same thing applies when someone wins a new contract. I want pleasing events to happen to you everyday so that you will have joy. But way beyond that, I want you to have joy in the Holy Ghost.
Joy in the Holy Ghost is that joy that arises and is maintained supernaturally irrespective of time, place, and event. This means that even if moments that don’t provoke joy arise, you remain joyful all the same. Your joy does not fluctuate in response to external stimuli. You maintain your joyful state of mind even in the midst of contrary and overwhelming circumstances. A heart that is able to harbour and express joy even in the absence of a reason to do so is filled with the Holy Ghost.
This type of joy is one of the spices on your sacrifice that God demands. It is spiritual. It is called joy unspeakable. It is indescribable. When you enter into temptation, the Bible says you should rejoice. It means the time of temptation is when to express joy in the Holy Ghost. Naturally, you won’t feel like being happy at such times, but God says that is the best time to rejoice.
God is taking you to the level of joy that goes beyond what ordinary senses can comprehend. The joy of the Holy Ghost will fill your heart today. and it will rob off on everyone around you.
Word of Wisdom: When your joy does not fluctuate in response to external stimuli, you have stopped to be a spiritual baby.
Prayer/Confession: Holy Ghost, fill my heart with your joy, and let everyone around me see it in me and partake of it.
Further Reading: 1 Pet. 1:8

WE ARE ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ( 2Cor 3: 3-6)  3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.  4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:  5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God  6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament ; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life We should function according to our description. We should give life not condemnation

                         YOU DO NOT BECOME A SAINT BECAUSE OF WORKS Many times believers have called those who teach the truth about benefits of Christ death, burial and resurrection as those who teach the diluted Gospel but in actuality, they are those teaching the undiluted Gospel. The Gospel is not the mind of men. It does not have to appear pleasing to any man’s hearing to be the truth. Christ came into this world to take away the sin of the world. And he did it by offering His body for sin to die in the flesh. John 1: 29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. GAL 1: 4 WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD AND OUR FATHER. HEB 2: 17 WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRE...

A BELIEVR IS THE TRUE IDENTIY OF GOD. God was invisible until Christ manifested in the flesh so that man could see God in the flesh and relate with Him the way He truly is. God is not anything outside love.( John 15: 12-27) Christ was the physical manifestation of the spiritually real God John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In the Old Testament the prophets walked with God because they could only relate with God based on the shadows of things to come. This is the reason no believer would ever like to be like Elijah or Moses. Those men never had the accurate nature on God. But the believer do not only walk with God , the believer walks in God. John 1: 18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: Romans 12:5 So w...
