The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength
If you feel drained of all your strength in the mental, physical, financial, or spiritual realms, then you're reading the right message today. God is not causing you to be exhausted. As a matter of fact, He gave the Lord Jesus to bring you strength, which comes from his joy.
Nehemiah 8:10 ... for the joy of the lord is your strength. The joy of the Lord has been deposited in your spirit. I am not talking about happiness because that depends on what is happening. God wants you happy; however, it must be derived from the joy of the Lord, or it will be fleeting. It cannot be manufactured, although it can be accessed by praise and thanksgiving to God. The joy of the Lord came in when you received Jesus. Now all you need to do is rejoice again and draw that joy up like drawing water from a well. Rejoice again and again - Philippians 4:4.
Confession: “ I am one who draws strength from the joy of the Lord on the inside of me.”
One of the ways to stay strong in joy is to determine that the Word of God is the final say-so in your life. When you settle that issue, you can eliminate many things that will try to drain you of your strength. When trouble comes, speak the Word, and then rejoice for the answers.
Make the decision to walk in love and the joy of the Lord. Strength will come back to you. Do not depend on feelings to walk in love or joy. Faith must work by love. Determine to do it even when no one else does. Train yourself to draw joy from your spirit and to not allow the enemy to toy with your mind and steal your strength.
The force of joy comes in and through your spirit from the Holy Ghost. It is on the inside – access it. Say this out loud: “Joy and victory come to me when I rejoice!” It will sustain and strengthen you over time. Use joy to keep your victory.
The joy of the Lord holds me steady in the tough times. Make a commitment to God to rejoice in the Lord – practice it now! Confession: “I rejoice in you, Lord! No devil can steal my victory when I rejoice. No matter what is happening, I will walk in faith by building my faith. I will walk in love by accessing the love of God. I will access joy by walking in joy.” Just keep on speaking this and you will realize you have the victory!
Turn your words around and speak faith, not fear. Speak joy, not defeat, lack or worry. Do not let the force of fear to breed in your life. Start speaking words of faith, love and joy, because the joy of the Lord is your strength. Walk in strength, peace and joy right now today! Don’t wait!
