The Bible says that we are to bow our knees before God
when we pray. However, if we are just bowing our knees
and not our hearts, it is in vain.
When we come to God in prayer we need to come with our
hearts lifted up in joy and praise. Yes, we might be
going through devastating heartache and circumstances
but if we really have the Joy of the Lord in our
hearts, satan can not get the victory over us.
The Bible says that the Joy of the Lord is our
strength. There is nothing that you and I can do to
generate that Joy. It is Jesus living in us Who is the
Joy that flows from our hearts.
I was heavy hearted last night about something that I
had heard and for a while I was really down. Then I
started singing to Jesus and telling Him how much I
love Him. I started laughing out loud because satan
can not win the war because he is already defeated
through the Precious Blood of Jesus. We may let Satan
win a battle but he will never win the war.
I urge you to let the Joy of Jesus in you overflow
onto all you come in contact with and watch how Jesus
will heal broken hearts and lives.
