What Is Joy ?

What Is Joy ?

Then Ezra said to them, “Go [your way], eat the rich festival food, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be worried, for the joy of the LORD is your strength and your stronghold.” – Nehemiah 8:10 AMP

Being Content

               As a new divorcee , and single mother I have learned the practice of being content in every season that I am in. I find myself revisiting memories of bad choices and decisions that I made in the past, and determining to do better this time. Now being back in my personal territory of Chicago, I find myself mentally healing. I have been forced to face some painful things that happened but God has been alongside me through it all. I know that in the future I will be released for something great, but now I am content where I am in life.

               I think as a believer it is important to learn the art and talent of being content. Many times people post their “success” on social media – but a picture could truly be a lie. People only post what they want you to see, not what is really going on behind closed doors. When you learn to be content, you are not bound by what people think.. I learned this from following Christ closely in this season.

               When you focus on grief your life will be cut short by grief. Life (despite what people teach) is not meant to be filled with pain and suffering – but with joy. You have to learn how to make your personal life journey “joyous”.  When release joy into the atmosphere, it makes it easier for gravity to return joy back to you by law of attraction.

Honor Yourself

               I am a firm believer of not waiting for someone to do what I know how to do myself. Today why don’t you honor yourself? Compliment yourself? Encourage yourself? Stop waiting for someone else to affirm you and affirm yourself. Learn the art of engulfing yourself with healthy books, good podcasts, and words of affirmation that will draw you closer to God.

Who Do I personally listen to?

Below I posted some people and some books that I am reading right now in life.

1 – The praying mom by Stormie Omartian.

2 – I have begun to listen to sermons by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell

3 – I have started reading this book by Heidi St. John (Bible Promises For Moms)

               I have made the decision in my own life that I will not allow what happened to me to be the cause of me becoming a failure. I think in life I have had to push past a lot of abuse that I endured as a child – let it go and give it to God. Because I can’t allow what happened to me destroy me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have mastered smiling again, liking what I see when I look in the mirror and loving the fact that I am alive. But it took a long time to accomplish that.

               In life you can’t allow what people do to be the pilot of your emotions. You must move on. I pray that whatever is causing you to toss and turn at night will be released and fly away from your mind so that you can have peace.

Vision Of An Island

               I remember there was a time not too long ago, I would close my eyes and envision myself living peacefully on an island by myself. That reality that I formed in my mind was better than my reality. Ironically, overtime my life (in real life) became a beautiful version of what I envisioned in my own mind.

               I had to learn to let go of what people have done and move on. Let me tell you the people who have done evil to me in the past have been repaid and some are even dead now. But I learned that the people who hurt my feelings are dead, and I am still alive. I have officially outlived all the naysayers, lies, and gossip about me… So, there is no point of living a life of depression. Life is not purposed and meant for you to live in some sort of emo state – but instead to live a life filled with joy.

               In life, you should not be waking up looking forward to death – but looking forward to something new each day. Your life is still in the filming stages of something great so keep going. I believe that God is going to generate something greater and better for you. I believe that happiness will become a regular emotion for you.

Cut Out Toxic People In Your Life

               There is a old saying that goes that you are the company that you keep and that is true. When you remove people who are toxic and are set in there ways of “toxic-ness” – then you will see a transformation of your life. At 29 years old I have had to practice this and yes toxic people don’t like that and I don’t care. People who are ill intentioned should not be in your life and should not be in your vicinity. That will help you have mental clarity as well. Don’t waste your time and energy on people who are “fake” and mean you no good. You want to be surrounded by people who genuinely love you and want you to succeed in life.

Conclusion

               When you surround yourself with joy then you will indeed have joy. To have joy you have to remove people from your life who mean you no good. Focus. Remain positive. Live a little. Things will surely change … Slowly but surely for the better.

Seeing Growth In All Area’s Of Your Life

2 Peter 3:18

New International Version

18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

The Power of Prayer

          When you pray you don’t want to experience something that is deemed as “dead prayer” – but instead you want to see a highly effective result in your prayer life. You want the blessings of God to stay on rotation and never to stop. When you pray you want God to change your life – and you don’t want to be stagnant in the spirit realm.

          You have to be willing to go to new deaths with God in order to have a better life. Take the limits off of God and believe that he can and will do everything that you asked for in prayer. Know that in order to see a breakthrough in your life, spending time with God is key! Put all of your focus on God and he will prepare a table for you in the presence of your enemies.

Don’t Give Up

          Even if you are seeing slow results – it doesn’t matter. That is still a result ! Don’t fall apart mentally because of something that has arisen doesn’t “feel” good. Instead keep your eyes focused on Christ! Think about it this way – in factories you have machines that produce products. When you pray – your prayers are like a machine that is causing what you need to manifest here on Earth. Every prayer that you release counts. You want to pray to activate angels to move on your behalf. You have to put your focus on what you need from God – and don’t stop praying until you see the hand of God move in your life.

          When praying you have to target and tackle everything that you need in prayer. Keep your faith in God lifted and don’t be down casted in the spirit realm. You have to keep spiritual momentum in prayer. Place your trust in God. Place your belief in God and know that the Lord will indeed make away. Always remember that prayer is your strongest spiritual warfare tool.

Work and Pray To Have A Better Life

          Life is not easy. Many people have strength to get something but are not strong enough to maintain it. Just like you pray for something – you have to be strong enough to maintain something. When you have a issue you have to focus on the God who controls the earth – and his son named Jesus. Psalms 1 says that you have to stay planted in Christ. Understand that pain leads to purpose. Even despite what you are going through you have to know how to love God through the good and the bad !

God Still Answers Prayers

God Still Answers Prayer

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. – James 5:16 NIV

Ignore The Naysayers

        The word of God discusses that there was a time that there was a lying spirit in the mouths of false prophets. The lying spirit would not say what The Holy Spirit was saying, but it would speak lies that came from satan (John 10:10).

        I had been praying for a connection and the connection happened. What I prayed for started working. I owed God a apology, because now I believe that God does, and he will answer prayer.

        But I want you to know the sometimes the devil will send someone to lie to you and tell you that you will not amount to anything because the enemy is trying to discourage you and it’s a lie. Do not believe any lie about you being poor, do not believe any lie about your life being stagnant, instead trust the process, and trust God that things will indeed get better for you.

        It is time for the body of Christ to stop walking in defeat. Instead walk in victory and believe that what God has for you is indeed for you.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help me to remain steadfast in your word and help me to behave in a way that is approved in the eyes of Christ. Let me remain constant, and Lord rebuke every rumor according to Malachi 3:10.

In Jesus Name I pray,

Thank God.

Not only that, I was sued by the former landlord because he claims that I still lived in the house which is a LIE ! Now, if Ra’keem and Tanya trifling behind still trying to get in there that has nothing to do with me.

The Fall

3 Now the serpent(A) was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?(B)

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,(C) but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”(D)

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.(E) 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,(F) knowing good and evil.”
