Stir up joy

“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.”     John 15:11(KJV)

From our opening scripture we see from the words of the Lord Jesus, that He wants His joy to remain in us. 
When His joy remains; abides and dwells in us, it is an indicator that we are strong spiritually. This is because when you lose your joy, you will lose your strength and when you lose your strength, you will faint in battle.

The Bible says in Proverbs 24:10, “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” So you need joy in your life as a child of God because that is what will keep you strong and help you maintain and sustain your victory in Christ in times of distress or when trouble comes against you.

So how do you stir up the joy of the Lord that is already in your spirit as a child of God? Spend time praying in other tongues and also spend time reading and hearing the Word of God and you will have joy flowing in your life, because the Word of God produces joy.

Prayer
Dear Father I ask that your Word stir up your joy in my heart today. May that joy flow in my heart and cause me to walk in the strength of the Spirit throughout my day. In Jesus Name. Amen.
