Romans 15:13 (KJV)
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
There are many benefits of knowing Christ and having a living relationship with Him. Life without God and that is not Cross Centered is very challenging to say the least. But when we come to Christ and understand the provisions of the Cross our perceptions and perspectives changes thereby impacting our emotions and mindset.
It is not that we don’t have challenges, we do. However, our approach to them stems from a deeper understanding of who we are and the resources available to us. God fills us up with Joy and Hope. This too spiritual elements are central to a life of fulfillment and victory. Hope is the anchor of our Soul . It keeps us going even when the promises are delayed. For hope is not just a thing you know will come but a living proof that it is already here only waiting for manifestation. Joy is the source of Strength. Without Joy life is full of misery and pain.
Joy fills your heart with melodies in the mist of conflicting feelings and Emotions. Joy brings you to the place of Peace. That is why the enemy attack first your hope and wants always to steal your joy. But, listen now, it’s God who is the source of your hope and that gives you joy. So learn to accept His joy and receive His hope which comes through the sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit and the Word.
Your life situations may not change, right away but your approach can change resulting in a better way of seeing and dealing with it. Allow yourself to be full of Joy, Peace and Hope. Let no one steal it from you not even your feelings and emotions. Be filled to overflowing for such are the blessings of the New Birth.
You are Blessed and Highly Favored.
Shalom,
Apostle Morgan
