“… for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Last night in our Bootcamp Deliverance teaching one of the things the man of God Torace Solomon taught on was joy. Joy is a state of being and decision. It is one of the areas the enemy is going to target. He reminded us that our joy is our fuel and the enemy is going to hit it hard because he knows the danger of a believer filled with joy to his operations. Joy is contagious. People see it in you and they want what you have. It bubbles up from the Holy Spirit within you. Your very countenance changes when you have the joy of the Lord, you wear it as if putting on a garment and it draws people to the Jesus within you! Your joy, Nehemiah 8:10 tells us, is your strength! What do you do when you feel the enemy attacking your joy? Go harder for God. Lift your voice in praise. Even if you don’t feel like it, praise Him. If it begins as a whisper, keep praising Him until you feel that atmosphere shift and your joy start to revive. You pray and you fight back with scripture just as Jesus did on the Mount! You decide not to allow the enemy to steal your joy. If you are reading this and the enemy has already stolen your joy, take it back! Tell him he is a liar and the joy of the Lord is your strength according to Nehemiah 8:10, joy kept Jesus in the cross according to Hebrews 12:2 and joy is your portion, Isaiah 61:7. Claim it, speak it, protect it, and fight the enemy for it! The joy of the Lord is your strength! 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10
