The Joy of the Lord

1.Topic: Joy of the Lord. By Elia Vesikula
2.Under this topic of Joy we would like to learn nore about the joy of the Lord. Final Testament. 3.MESSAGE 2 Final Testament 4.“Love and joy is the armor of the holiness of GOD”. 5.A meditation on Ezra's statement, "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). 6.What does it mean to have the joy of the Lord? 7.Having joy includes feeling good cheer and a vibrant happiness. But joy, in its fuller, spiritual meaning of expressing God's goodness, involves more. It is a deep-rooted, inspired happiness. The Holy Bible says, "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh. 8:10).Aug 5, 1998 8.Nehemiah 8:10 NIV "Do not grieve for the joy of the Lord is your strength." 9.What does the Bible say about the joy of the Lord? 10.“Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” The Good News: If we believe, a joyous morning will follow the blackest night.
11. Many of us spend our lives weighed down by obligations. We move through our days performing one tedious task after another— washing clothes, cooking dinner, catering to a demanding boss. We barely have time to lift our heads and take a moment to take in the world around us. But we all need a moment of joy in our days; a moment when we can relax and take pleasure from the good things in our lives. And there are many Bible verses about joy that encourages people to take a break from all the Dos and Don’ts we carry around in our heads. 12.The word “gospel” means “good news,” which suggests we should greet the message of our faith with at least the level of joy we experience when we get infinitely less important good news like a job promotion or a new car or the gift of a beautiful dress. So take some time when you can to read these Bible verses about joy and cultivate a spirit of joy and gratitude. You may find your spirit lifted and your attitude adjusted to a much happier place. As the Bible declares in 1 Chronicles: “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.”
13.Fruit of the Holy Spirit 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. JOY Galatians 5:22-23. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Ist Thesalonians 1:6 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. PHILIPIANS 4:4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. PHILIPIANS 4:7-8
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds* through Christ Jesus. 8 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Have a Blessed day family!!! “God, keep me safe. I go to you for safety. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. Without you, I don't have anything that is good."”

VERSY MEDIA NEWS: 30/10/21 Vision of the church. By Elia Vesikula Occasionally God shows me vision of what is happening and what is to come. Recently I was shown a vision that I was standing in a very large church and was standing up front as I was about to deliver a sermon. My green bible was opened in front of me on a table covered with white cloth. However as I waited no one was in the church, the pews were empty. I then took a walk around the church to wait for the people. Then as I looked again the entire church was filled to capacity and there was a person preaching standing in front where I had my bible placed. People were applauding him in their praise. After his speech which I did not understand he came and sat where I was. He conversed with me but his words were nonsense to me and I could not understand what he was saying. Then the message came that the spirit in th
