Full of It - Kingdom Joy

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoyed this. Message, faith comes by hearing

not from having heard. So you cannot be doers of the

word just because you have knowledge of something in

Scripture that you heard. Year ago, you have to refresh

yourself. And again, why did we come down

this morning? When we've been in service so

many times, we could have done it multiple times, but it's when

you're hearing something specific, in God's words you

find yourself wanting to act on it.

That's just kind of how that works.

So if you see yourself not acting on something you know you

need to get back in the word to strengthen yourself to want to

act on it again. Instead of it just being a

knowledge. It needs to be a revelation that

you're acting on consistently. How many you said praise the

Lord a lot since Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, you found yourself.

Now, let me just say it this way when we begin to minister along

these lines. The enemy always comes to try to

bring a situation to take the truth you're hearing and make it

seem like it's not applicable in this situation.

How do I know this? Because Jesus himself was

baptized in the Jordan River? And when he came up the Heavens

opened up, think about that the heavens opened up And God the

father says these words, this is my son in whom I am what?

Well, pleased, I mean, how many you like to have the heavens

open up and God say your name and say he's well pleased with

you and you could hear that audibly?

Yeah. Well if you did, you'd probably

get what happened next? Because then Jesus being led by

the spirit Into the Wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

The devil's next response to the father's response was man.

If you are the Son of God, not really sure that's what you are.

Right? So when we talk about praising

him and praise Him. Anyway then there may be some

situations that show up that you're like man how can I praise

him in this? Just gonna have to do it anyway

and now I'm fixing to jump into another little topic found

within God's kingdom that you're going to want to receive but

you're going to have to act on it in some different situations.

So just look at your neighbor and say, man, you're full of it

now, we've heard that statement And that typically has a

negative response to a, but you need to be full of it.

And what am I talking about being full of this today?

I'm talking about the joy of God.

You need to be full of joy because if anybody, if there's

any place the world should encounter someone, especially if

they ever show up at church, they should encounter a people

full of joy. I mean, they should if so

first-time guest is here today. Or someone that's not in God's

kingdom. Came to Anchor Faith Church,

they should assume right out of the gate that none of us ever

have a problem because of how excited and joyful we are.

They must think that we are the golden children and that man,

our whole life is perfect. All of our bills are paid.

We're never have a symptom in our body.

We never have a challenge. We are always above and never

beneath. We're always the head and never

the tail. And we are those things, but

that doesn't mean we don't experience things like the rest

of the world. The difference is, is that we've

got a joy. A joy has been given to us that

the world didn't give and the world can't take away and so we

can operate in it even in the midst of Dire Straits and I'll

talk more about that next week. I just want you to see that the

Bible has a requirement for us as Believers children of God

citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven by God.

You are children of the king. That you should be rejoicing.

I mean, seriously, what situation could ever happen in

the planet that you couldn't turn that sorrow into Joy?

You could tap into it and it's really just a matter of you.

Now, if you want to stay in your mind, realm in your emotions of

a situation, you'll get the results of that.

But if you go to the spirit, then you can tap into something

and we'll talk about Next week because I already have that

message started being prepared. But one of those scriptures is

in Galatians. Chapter 5, says the fruits of

Galatians 5 · chapter mention

the spirit is first one love second one.

So again, as Pastor Marcus already got by the spirit, Joy

is not natural. Joy is a spirit, it comes from

the spirit of God so we can defy natural situation.

Joy is not just laughing. Although it will create a laugh.

I said, it'll create a laugh. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

Joy is not just happy because the world laughs and gets happy

at unrighteousness. And that's not Joy.

They go to all kind of clubs where there's comedy sessions

and they are speaking. The most vile and disgusting

things, but they are laughing. There they are.

I mean to the point that they can hardly breathe at people,

making fun of other people, Joe Can about other people all kind

of lewd and gross things and they leave, they're not better

not full of joy. So do not mistake joy as just

laughing and happy and being happy this a lot deeper than

that. Are you hear me?

The devil can counterfeit make it look like somebody has yo got

it together because they're smiling.

But when you have the joy, we're talking about it.

Transcends that. Now, that doesn't mean that our

joy is without expression. Okay, our joy is not without

expression. It has an Chicken.

It's just when it's time to the spirit man what it can do in

your life. Let's turn over to 1st.

Peter chapter 1, First Peter chapter 1 will start in verse 3

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

and it says this blessed, be the God and father of our Lord,

Jesus Christ who, according to his, great Mercy has caused us

to be born again to a Living Hope through the resurrection of

Jesus Christ from the dead to obtain.

An inheritance which is imperishable, man that make good

news and undefiled and will not fade away.

Reserved in heaven for you who are protected by the power of

God through faith for a Salvation, ready to be revealed

in the last time in this, you greatly Rejoice, even though now

for a little while, if necessary you have been distressed by

various trials so that the proof of your faith being more

precious, This thing gold, which is perishable even though,

tested by fire may be found to result in praise and glory and

honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

And though, you have not seen him, you love him and though you

do not see him now, but believe in him, you greatly Rejoice with

joy inexpressible, and full of Glory, obtaining, as the outcome

of your faith, the salvation of your souls, this word rejoice,

and This passage of scripture means to celebrate.

It means be exceedingly, glad so that's got to be more than this.

I don't think this is an expression of exceedingly, glad

Right. No exceedingly.

Glad in fact that he's means this jump for joy.

I said, jump for joy. I said, jump for joy.

That's it is an it is an outward expression of something

happening on the inside so much so you can't contain it.

It's exceeding glad that enters a celebration about your life or

the word associated with your life even in the midst of a

trial. That when you begin to tap, in

to how infallible God's word is that when the king speaks, it

has to be then when you're in a situation and you hear the voice

of the Father by the Holy Spirit, and you begin to say, in

the name of Jesus, my dad. Just told me by the Holy Ghost

to save this and stand and believe here.

Then you can begin to shout jump, celebrate and say, whoa,

It's that way. I remember back in 2015, when

Pastor Hagen was here for The Living Faith Crusade, and he

began to talk about mountain-moving faith.

And I was with Pastor Rowdy and Pastor Kenneth Estrada, they had

come to that meeting and he was saying, you need to speak to

your mountain right now and commanded to move.

How many you were in that 2015 service.

And I'll never forget, I Pastor Rowdy and Pastor Kenneth new the

mountain, I was speaking out which was move so that we can

purchase this property right now.

So they came to me and they said we got it.

And so we ran over here and we began to dance and celebrate

that. We have the mall.

It is ours, it is forever settled.

And the Bible says that three A cord is not easily broken.

We were in agreement, we were shouting and praising and

glorifying God as if I just signed it.

Six years later, I signed it. And I didn't jump up from the

table that day. I didn't dance in the lawyer's

office because the Lord says you dance, then see.

I was excited that it was completed but I was already

rejoicing long before it ever took place glory to God.

Cause I knew the where the word of the king is there is power.

And what my king says cannot, Be changed my mama.

And so, what did we do? As a church, we kept pressing as

a church. We kept believing as a church.

We kept confessing as a church. We kept speaking and lo and

behold, at the end of the day, it is a jackley.

As God said, it would be amen. Joy In this passage of scripture

means gladness are cheerfulness. So again, if we possess within

us the Holy Ghost and a fruit, the Holy Ghost can give to our

Spirit is joy. And when we just think about the

salvation of God Alone, that should be enough to have a

permanent smile slapped across our face.

Now that doesn't mean we won't feel other things, I'm not

negating that nor am I saying that you'll always keep your

smile. I'm saying, you're going to have

to be in faith. To get you smile, don't settle

for a place where you're not smiling full of joy, full of

gladness. Are you hear what I'm saying?

Don't ever get in a place where you're, like, I can't get here.

You can because greater is he? Who is in you, The circumstance

are he who's in the world that you can yield and say?

I'm just gonna Rejoice anyway not because I'm just doing it on

my own accord, but I know I already have the victory in

Christ Jesus. Have we forgotten that the Bible

is about a king, his kingdom, and his role Offspring, Have We

forgotten that in Genesis 1:26? God said, let us make man in our

Genesis 1:26

image, according to our likeness.

And let them have what Dominion or rule.

So God's original intent for us as as human beings was to rule

in this realm, as he rules in his realm, as he would speak to

Adam in the cool of the day, him and Adam, and Eve, both male and

female, both were having Dominion were ruling over the

fish of the sea, birds of the sky over all the cattle, over

every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, they could speak

things. Just like God could speak

things. They were in His image, they

were his DNA. Are you hearing me?

Which means they had no conflict?

They were in a perfect environment.

The only conflict they had was to maintain their love

relationship with God by not eating, the fruit of the tree of

the knowledge of Good and Evil. It's really the only conflict

they had caused when the enemy came in as a serpent and began

to question God's word. All they had to do is say, I

don't care how I feel about the fruit on this tree.

My King has said Eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of

Good and Evil because when I do we die, and if they would have

maintained that then Adam would still be in the Earth today, we

would be able to visit him. Have a conversation with him and

Eve and everyone else that was ever born.

But what happened? He ate the fruit and he died and

sin entered the world. And he gave his dominion over to

the devil and then he rules. He is the God of this world, he

is the principality of powers, right?

He's the prince of the air. But Jesus Christ said, I've come

to destroy the works of the devil.

And all he is a liar and all he does is create situations around

you to try to convince you that Darkness or death or separation

from God, is more of a reality than being a live a life with

God, but we have good news. I said we have good news that

Jesus Christ died on the cross and Rose from the grave that

he's poured out. His blood on The Mercy Seat of

God in heaven, and that all who call on the name of the Lord, is

what? Babe and God puts inside them a

new creature in Christ. Then the third person of the

godhead, the Holy Ghost comes and lives on the inside of us

bearing fruit. That he says, hey no matter what

you go through, I got some joy for you.

I have some joy for you. You can navigate through life

with inexpressible joy. Are you hearing me?

Let's read this out of the passion translation.

The passion translation says that this way celebrate with

praise celebrate, with praises, the God and father of our Lord.

Jesus Christ who has shown us, his extravagant Mercy for his

Fountain of Mercy has given us new life.

And we are reborn to experience a living energetic.

Hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can Her Parish

never be defiled and never diminish.

It is promised and preserved my goodness forever.

In the Heavenly realm for you. What's the bible say that your

citizenship is in heaven. So, when we're born again, we

are born of God, and God has a registry up in heaven.

That says, that's my child. That's my daughter.

That's my son. Are you hearing me and the

things of this realm can impact their Realm?

Because they're not limited to their realm alone.

They now have access to me. That's why Jesus said now, when

you pray pray this way, Our Father Who Art in Heaven.

Whose father is he? Your daddy?

Is he your dad? Our Father who art in heaven?

Hallowed Be Your Name, Your Kingdom Come your will be done

on Earth as it is in heaven. So God never intended for us to

only experience heaven in heaven.

He never intended for us to only experienced heaven and Heaven in

his original Creation with man Heaven and Earth.

We're like each other although they were two different places

they function the same no sin was in either one.

And now Jesus says, now that you can get, if you'll repent,

change your thinking and get into my kingdom, then the

kingdom realm are God's government.

His Heaven realm, can't come and invade this Earth realm through

your life which means then what problem do we have?

When all of Heavens resource is available for us, And when I say

that I'm not just saying natural.

I'm talking about the spiritual area there.

I'm talking about angels, I'm talking about the power of God.

I'm talking about the power of your faith and it will move even

natural things on earth to get to where you are, and what you

need to do, what you need to do. That should put us in a position

that no matter what we Face, we can stop and say, wait a minute.

Now, I'm going to rejoice Because I'm not limited to this

natural issue. See, this is why when sickness

comes Oh, I can't go to the doctor.

I don't have insurance people. Worried about this.

Well, first and foremost, who's your provider your insurance or

God? Because if you need to go to the

doctor, go, do you think God's not able to pay that bill?

Is he so slack that he cannot take care of that needs?

Should you have to go? But you know what, by his

stripes you were healed anyway so we know in certain aspects

for sure and sickness and disease you can tap in through

the blood and Stripes of Jesus to be in a pool, the healthcare

system of the Kingdom of Heaven straight into the Earth and

he'll heal your body. You're not even limited to

natural medicine alone. In fact, in some cases you might

not even need the natural medicine.

Now, if you'd are take it at five, no problem, but don't put

the natural medicine, above the word of God, because the Bible

said the Lord, the father sent the word and it healed them.

I said it healed them. Now obviously there are other

situations that occur in our lives like you know you know an

accident or something like that that's not sickness and disease

that you know what you do need to get something.

He's checked out to make sure your cover so that you can pray

effectively and then you can recover supernaturally but

you're pulling around Min by your faith which means no matter

what. report you get, Why would we stay in the emotions of the

report? Let's go on through our faith

through whose faith is your faith.

Now again you do you're not going to just operate enjoy just

because It's the choice. You're going to have to operate

in this by faith. Through our faith, the mighty

power of God constantly guards us into our full salvation.

See most people think our Salvation is just, where am I

going to go? When I die.

That's all salvation is knowing where you going to go when you

die, that's it. And the Bible does not support

that at all. You can know where you're going

to go. If you die.

That's true. You can know that be assured.

That you'll be present with the Lord, no problem.

But there's so much more to God's salvation.

There's so many more benefits to being born of God.

And so he wants to reveal his full salvation to us, not only

things. We can operate in now by faith,

but then there are some things that will be revealed.

When, and only when we put off this mortality and put on

immortality in essence, we leave the Mortal body and we get into

the immortal body, right? So he says that God, constantly

guards us until our full salvation is ready to be

revealed. In the last time me, the thought

of this cause you to jump for Jump For What jump for joy.

I mean, this even tells me even if a person Doesn't understand

all that God could do for them and aren't even in faith for it.

They can still maintain a joyful attitude period.

But the Bible tells us that we are to have the mind of Christ

that if we seek Him will find. And there, there are many

situations that people are in. Now that God really wants to

reveal truths to that, man. When you get ahold of that

truth, man, you can walk enjoy. I said, you can have joy.

That's all right, because this is what the word says, and

that's where I stand. Amen, says may the thoughts of

this cause you to jump for joy. Even though lately you've had to

put up with the grief of many trials.

But these only revealed the Sterling core of your faith.

So again when we talk about Joy Monday, a problem can show up.

Are you going to yield to Joy? Are you going to yield to the

problem? Are you gonna let the devil grab

you outside the sanctuary today? Are you hearing me husbands and

wives be forewarned? Something's gonna happen.

Maybe this afternoon that's going to cause you want to get

at odds with each other. Just go ahead and do this

instead, hahaha. Just do that when you feel

something else coming. Hmm, what do you know?

Pastor was a profit today Just look at your spouse and go, ha

ha ha and your spouse. I know.

Ah, ha ha ha and just kind of repeat that back and forth a

little bit until it Wells up in you.

The joy of God. Then you're just laughing.

I'm so glad we didn't let that silliness.

Take us in that direction, right?

Did get us off. Course, didn't didn't stop us.

Are you hearing me? But when these only reveal, the

Sterling core of your faith, Which is far more valuable than

gold that perishes for And gold is refined by fire, right?

Your authentic. Faith will result in even more.

Praise Glory and Honor when Jesus the No.1 and one is

revealed, you love him passionately.

Although you did not see him but through believing in him you are

saturated with, Anna, static Joy, indescribably Sublime, and

immersed. In glory for, you are reaping

the Harvest of your faith, the full salvation promised, your

souls Victory. And I love that because it lets

me know, when I stand on God's word, it gives me such joy that

we proved out that no matter what took place.

We did not relent from believing God at his word.

And we had what we said I have experienced this in my own life,

concerning different things. I'm when my wife and I bought

our first home, we were renting it initially.

It was at least two by we needed to purchase it.

I had just moved into the state only, you know, 15 months prior

to that a, really it? Yeah, I guess it was about 15

months. Tired of that and got into this

home, right? And so I started a job which was

outside the church. We were planning the church and

we're getting around to that year time frame in this

particular house that we were at and the individual is like man

you're you going to buy the house or not?

Because I got people with cash offers.

Now honestly, if he had cash offer, he just sold a house out

from underneath me. That was just the character of

the individual but it was just You know, trying to put

pressure, put pressure, put pressure and I knew that my wife

had heard God. He only moved to that place

because my wife said, I believe this is our house.

And this is an opportunity for us to be able to purchase our

very first home. Never had one before, rent it

all this time. And so, you know, we went

through a natural process and because I had moved out of the

state only been here. Even though job-wise I was in

Ministry. Long enough, I could carry that

over. I was just starting a church so

we were getting letters from financial institutions denying

us from having the home. So you open it up.

It says not going to loan. You the money.

The next one not going to loan you the money.

Well, whose report you gonna believe?

An Act of Faith. I was so convinced, it was our

home. There was a particular Bush on a

corner that had kind of rotten that cause the wood to be a

little rotten for moisture and my wife didn't like there

anyway, so I went out to tear it out and she's like, what are you

doing? This isn't our house.

I said this is our house. And I cut that bush out.

I mean, I ripped it out violently.

I mean, I cut on that thing. I dug on that thing.

I beat those cut those roots and I slung it halfway across the

yard just in protest. To all those words saying I

couldn't have it when I knew my God would and I remember calling

back to a person I actually was craziest thing.

I was sitting in my office and I saw an ad in the paper, I never

do this but in, I just sensed I should call.

So I called and I have talking to an individual And they're

like, you know, my father was a pastor too.

And Pastor. Oh, we're going to get you this

place. And lo and behold, we got that

place just as the Lord said and they were so good with me.

I ended up letting some other people in our church.

Know you need to call this person because they are awesome.

It was such an easy process. I just called a person in an ad.

Never did this. They called up that company

asked for the individual and they said no one has ever worked

here by that name. All I know is whoever I was

talking to their dad was a pastor.

Must have been Jesus, At the end of the day, but it came to pass

in the midst of things saying. Right?

We have to believe that. Now some time there's a tenacity

but I can tell you this, it's even better when you get your

tenacity and then go over and laugh about it.

I remember one time my wife and I we were in a bible college and

Pastor Brian and Cheyenne stand up.

They were in Bible College with us to Mike and Angie were

probably serving in the back somewhere so they're not here

but the they graduated with us. So we were going to been we

would have been in the same class.

There was the instructor by the name of Keith Moore and he was

ministering on. Probably a submission and

Authority but he got over into faith, and he made this

statement, he says, now if you're not full of joy, then

you're not in faith. Not made me mad.

I mean, just really made me mad because I knew that guy story

that he didn't have any kids, just him and his wife they never

had kids. In fact, his wife work while he

just worked at the ministry, he'd even have a job, while he

went to school there and in my mind, you know, you're starting

to try to justify your behavior. What do you know?

I work a third shift job. I got three kids, man.

I mean, we got more bills to pay.

You ain't got your little wife, you know.

And you had a pretty easy coming to Rhema.

You know, this is going through your mind, you know, but in this

how we justify our behaviors, we look at our situations, you

know, and I was growing because man the first class I sent in at

Rhema was on the ABCs of faith and I looked at my wife and five

minutes. I'm like, I don't even know the

Bible. And I had used pastured and had

preached hundreds of sermons, but I didn't even know all that.

I I needed to know. And then he started dealing with

me about my attitude, like questioning whether I believe.

But you know what, he was, right?

That day. I didn't want to receive that,

but I found out later if I'm worried about something I'm not

in faith. If I'm afraid, it's not going to

happen. I'm not it.

I'm really not trusting God and I'm put on whatever are I want

to put on. But the reality is, I am

hindering God from accomplishing, because I'm not

happy and excited that it's done.

I realize I was wrong. And I repented, and I found

myself saying, man, When God says it, I'm just gonna Rejoice

now, that don't mean there in moments where grief starts to

show up, pressure starts to show up but at some point you gotta

just Foo and I found in my life. I try to turn on how quick I can

laugh so to speak, you understand?

Where I can just have a joy of. It's all right.

Cast that care off, I'm gonna cast The Care on the Lord.

That means violently throw off. He will sustain me, and then you

gotta joy in you. It's all right, it's all good,

get a smile on your face, your whole countenance, you walk in

the room and nobody even thinks you have a problem.

I remember, Anchor Bay church. When we transition here and got

stuck in two locations, the people outside this church were

saying That's the wealthiest Church in st.

Augustine little did they know? That we were financially

strapped and struggling tremendously to the point that I

sold my own vehicle in order to help the church and went without

a salary for about a year, but no one knew that here.

Why? When I walked in, I just had

Joy, because I was in faith. I knew God was my provider.

I knew he told me to come here. I knew, he told me to start this

thing. I knew he told us to move here,

I told them I couldn't be in two location.

He was Add to vindicate me, anyway, and I just might as well

be happy in the process. And lo and behold it happened.

I said it happened under all kinds of pressure and people

when I tell testimonies at Tom like pastor, we never knew

that's the point. That's the point.

The point is I should be such a man of faith and I should have

such an air around me and atmosphere of rejoicing and joy

that even though I may be going through the fire.

You can't tell. Now, that doesn't mean I can't

confide in people and share and have people pray.

I'm not saying that, but I don't just tell anyone the reason I

don't just tell anyone because some people can't handle the

pressure. I'm in the Bible says that God,

places you in the body where what pleases him Jesus said in

Matthew 16:18 he said I will build my church that were built

Matthew 16:18

is where we get the word architect.

So there's, I will not as a pastor.

Go to someone who does not have the structural capacity.

Spiritually speaking to handle the pressure that I am built to

handle that is a misuse of power.

So for some I have to go to others that are spiritually

structurally built because God placed them in the body.

That way it was his design. Are you hearing me what am I

saying? Let me help break it down.

All of you going to get your vehicles today and there are a

lot of round objects on your vehicle for specific ones unless

you're riding a motorcycle then it would be two or three.

Okay, those are round objects. Are they not?

But you also have this other round object that you put your

hand on every time unless you're driving a motorcycle.

So let's take the motorcycles off the table, your steering

wheel. Now you understand someone

designed your vehicle this way, which means your steering wheel

does not have to have the same capacity as your tire.

So, if you pulled your tire off jacked up your vehicle, pulled

your tire off, pulls your steering wheel off, put your

steering wheel. Will your front tire is and put

your front tire where your steering wheel is.

Now it maybe with power steering, still more difficult

to turn with that big fat tire. And your front seat, but I'm

pretty confident. You're never going to figure

that out because the minute you let the Jack down on that

steering wheel. It will not handle the pressure,

the weight because it was not designed.

So, don't be telling people stuff that they aren't even

ready to handle the pressure. It's why you don't need to get

on Facebook and ask people to pray and do a prayer chain.

Some of them can't even handle the situation you're in.

They're gonna give feed you more doubt and unbelief you need to

get around people that are more spiritually, strengthened, like

you that can then gird up underneath that.

And say, I won't relent from this thing is going to be this

way. The only way because I can

handle that and then we can rejoice in the process.

Are you hearing me? See, Joy has the capacity to

empower you with the ability to see your situation from God's

perspective. I must say that again.

Joy has the capacity. to empower you with the ability to see your

situation from God's perspective, Now, I'm just going

to mention this, you can write it down.

So this came up by the spirit, while I was sitting on the front

row during worship. This is not in my original notes

that I sent to the back. Nor is this scripture?

The Lord spoke to me. He said, you understand Joey has

the capacity Empower you with the ability to see your

situation from my perspective? And then he said this, he said

it. So I looked it up didn't know

where I was at chapter verse, but I heard him said, he says he

who sits in the heavens laughs Psalms 2:4.

Psalms 2:4

And he's laughing at horrible situations going on in the

earth. He's just laughing about it.

He can maintain a perspective of Joy because he knows I'm coming.

Okay, he knows I'm coming. And there's nothing done that, I

want Rectify, I won't bring in to Justice, I won't deal with.

There's not one thing ever committed on the planet that he

is not documented and he will resolve.

It's either you better get under the blood or it's going to be

dealt with period so he can laugh.

He laughs at the plans of the wicked he laughs All the

Calamity. They try to bring.

He just sits back and laughs and says, my words going to come to

pass, my will is going to be done.

This thing is gonna happen, just as I've declared it, I'm going

to have a people that I believe me.

I know that it's gonna turn out. Just as I've said, I will have

me a people of Dominion. He laughs, well if he's laughing

then what are you doing? Amen.

Just look at your neighbor and go.

Ha, ha ha. Do it again.

Do it again. You should laugh more.

And in these last days, there ain't gonna be a whole lot of

laughs and going on in the world situation and go from worse to

worse, bad to two more bad troubling to extremely troubling

chaotic to. I can't even believe these

people have a brain. I mean, from lawlessness to

gross lawlessness. And if you are viewing and

viewing and viewing and staying up and watching, it will come to

suck your joy, which will suck your Well, will suck your face

and cause you to fall into the same pattern as the world, but

if you'll say, no, I'm gonna be the happy one.

I'm gonna be from God's perspective, he's giving me a

kingdom. That cannot be shaken.

Let's look at Psalms 40 verse 16 songs, 40 verse 16, just to give

Psalms 40:16

you some Foundation. Yeah, yeah, I mean, he'll give

you some joy that it just like overtakes, you know, how you

getting those little laugh and dings and you just can't stop.

He'll give you that by the spirit and it can become

Contagious by the spirit. Right, just like a yawn, you

know, someone yawns next thing, you know, you're fighting that

thing. But here it is.

How does that happen? I'm telling you when the Holy

Ghost begins to move and he'll begins to drop a joy that Wells

up from the inside. It can be contagious if you

yield to it. Amen.

It'll get you over into a place that people will say those

people are drunk and we'd have to do like the first church

service ever in Acts chapter 2 and begin to explain.

Acts 2 · chapter mention

Well, they're not drunk as you suppose.

They're just full of the Holy Ghost, they have the joy.

You have the Lord, and the joy of the Lord, is, manifesting and

the joy of the Lord is correct and things.

And the joy of the Lord is pushing stuff out, It's better

to have the joy of the Lord than the wozy, me Z's, you know what

I'm saying. I mean it's better to just have

joy look what it says in Psalms 40 verse 16.

Psalms 40:16

It says let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

Let those who love your salvation say, continually the

Lord be magnified. Now I would expect a

demonstration of joy and laughter.

Especially we get this one under our belt, and come in and talk

about it again next week. And then have in between a

little bit about praise because, you know what, we need to become

this contagious church, what do I mean by that, that not that we

won't talk truth. Not that we won't preach a word

that brings conviction to your flesh.

But at the end of the day, even in the most difficult type

messages, that confront our own flesh, and the way we think that

we can yield and go ahead and have Joy.

Anyway, Way. Are you hearing me?

Yeah, I'm telling you. So are you glad do you love

salvation? But that scripture up.

Come on. Put that scripture up.

It's all right. Amen.

I mean, didn't I say Wednesday night that if you got a praise

going on that you ought to Just Praise Him Anyway.

Don't just wait for Tom, just go ahead and praise the lord.

It's okay. You're not really going to

distract At all y'all doing, all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

The Lord's. Good.

Amen. You get full of it.

Let's just get full of it. Amen, get full of it.

Now, listen. I mean, this is something that

God does. He says, it's Joy inexpressible.

So yeah, when you're like, looking around thinking, what is

wrong with them, they're getting something that's well enough

from the inside and it's okay for that to happen.

And don't start. I think I managed to distract

cut up talking over it anyway, but if y'all bust out in it then

great until that literally takes place, I'm having to help some

of y'all still get over, let all who seek you rejoice.

And be glad let those who love your.

Do you love salvation? Do you love your salvation?

Do you love your salvation with in you should Rejoice?

I said, you should Rejoice. You should Rejoice.

You should Rejoice you. You should Rejoice.

There should be a rejoicing about our lives because we just

love our Salvation. We've been made right with God.

We're born again. We're full of the power of God.

We have the healthcare system of the Kingdom.

We've been healed, delivered been made right?

Been raised up were seated in Heavenly places.

Glory to God glory to God, glory to God.

Man, I'll praise to be so crazy. That people are like what is

going on. But what do they have that?

I don't have My mama doesn't even matter that there's the

thing called inflation or recession.

Doesn't matter to us. But we've been given a kingdom

that cannot be shaken. We're Sons and Daughters of the

most high. He's on the throne glory to God.

Okay, Isaiah 61:10. It says, I will rejoice greatly

Isaiah 61:10

in the Lord. My soul will exalt in my God for

he has clothed me with the got with garments of Salvation.

He has rat me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom

decks himself with a Garland and a bride, adorns herself with

jewels. So, how should we Rejoice

greatly? I mean, it's a Joy, this ain't

no cute Rejoice. Praise the Lord.

Praise the lord. Well, Hallelujah, praise the

Lord. I mean, that's not greatly.

There's no great about that. I mean, that's meager, that's

week. That's still coming out, your

flesh. I mean, that's just like, almost

offended that you got to say. Praise the Lord, praise the

Lord. I mean, how can a person that's

been blood bull been purchased from the king?

Who was being so bad? At couldn't tell he was a man.

I mean I don't even get how people are going to church and

like Lord, I only got about 30 minutes for you today.

I got things to do. I mean they want his sacrifice

and yet they have no praise now you just remember me when I die

cuz you know I came to church this month.

I'm just gonna let anchor Faith. Parents know, we did our

Washington orientation, and I let all those other parents know

that do not attend acre-feet church that I don't know what

regular attendance is at your church, but at anchor Faith

Church. It is not once a month.

And if all you're doing is that I just want you to know your

student is going to pass you and spirituality, and I'm going to

be leading you instead of you leading them.

How in the world would we not have an exceeding Rejoice?

You get to come to the house of the Lord.

I mean, can you imagine all the Believers in China right now,

that if their dictator would jump out and say, you know what,

I've got right with Jesus, we're gonna allow churches to openly

worship, you understand what would happen on that day.

And here we are, you know I'm just not sure I'm going to be

able to make it today. That kind of interferes with my

life. That's the problem.

You have a life instead of gave you life to his ha.

Ha ha. Just laughing.

Anyway, know people who know their salvation being clothed in

righteousness. You're like I can't wait to get

to the house of the Lord. I can't wait to get around other

believers because I may be going through something.

But I'm gonna go through cuz I'm gonna get around others that

will rejoice with me and we get to the other side.

Are you hearing me? Psalm 68 3, some Three says

this, but let the righteous be. Are you righteous?

Have you been made righteous? So why are you sad?

Let the righteous be which implies you could be a different

feeling but he just lets, you know, let the righteous be you

just go ahead and be glad because at the end of the day if

you're doing what God says, it's going to work out to your

advantage. He's going to bring it to pass,

it's going to come. Now I'm not saying that you're

not feeling something else. We'll talk about it next week.

Literally emotions that people went through and go through, but

get over into Joy. I'm just saying And I'm not

going to get stuck there. If I know I'm righteous, then

I'm just going to go ahead and get happy about it.

Just go ahead and get happy about it and I'm nobody gonna

laugh with me. I'll laugh with the father

because I know what he's doing on his throne, I know what he's

doing on his throne. He's laughing at that.

Because you've messed with his kid.

You just came against his anointed.

Are you anointed? I said, are you a known it?

Then what can man do to you? Oh, let.

But let the righteous. Be glad let them exalt before.

God, yes. Let them want Rejoice with

sadness. Madness.

Tell me y'all got angry, praise. Bless the Lord.

O My Soul O. My soul.

Come on. Now you know it's true some of

your husband wives, you have come in you mad at your spouse,

bless the Lord O my soul. Oh my soul, please make my wife

repent. Don't change the words.

People you deal with you. Are you hearing me?

Come on now. Now we just push those to the

side. We yield to a fruit called Joy.

Are you hearing me? Oh, I got a couple more for you.

Maybe one or two and then we'll just go ahead and exercise just

a tad and then we'll do communion.

What's it say here, songs. 118 verse 24 says, this is, The day,

which the Lord has made. So, what are you doing this day?

And and that means there is no Mondays.

Come on now, man. I'm just having a bad.

Wait a minute. This is the day that the Lord

has made. What let's-let's-let's and be

glad in it. Which tells me, if you can't get

a hahaha in your day, then you're more concerned about your

situation or your perceived hurt.

Then trust in the Lord with your situation and I don't care how

bad it is. I don't care how bad it is.

It doesn't matter to me the Bible tells us oh thank you

Lord. In Hebrews chapter 12, it says

Hebrews 12 · chapter mention

we have not resisted God to the point of the shedding of blood.

But for the joy set, before Jesus, he endured the cross.

There was a joy set before he was like when he was in the

garden saying father, if there's any way for this come to pass,

let it pass. But not my will, your will be

done, the father like son, you gon have to die.

You gonna have to become sin. It's going to happen.

You're gonna get beaten, you're going to have stripes on your

back. I am gonna Smite you for the

sake of humanity, but if you do it, you'll open the door.

You open the door. They for all, who call on your

name, son. They'll be saved and he said for

the joy of knowing you could be redeemed.

No. But you could come back in, he

took the Strife, he took the crown.

He carried the cross that he was nailed to it, because he kept

thinking there's joy in the house of the Lord today for the

joy. And he goes, how about your

situation? Compound.

Your one individual situation with all the sins of the world

from atoms to the last one, whoever commits one.

I'll put on Jesus, you just need to look at your neighbor and

say, ha ha, ha and got a problem.

You don't have a problem because Jesus took your problem.

You don't have to sit in that you can even rejoice in the

midst of it because this is the day that the Lord has made.

Ah, I will rejoice. And be glad in it.

Come on. Let's rejoice and be glad in it

now. So, just so, you know what days

you're supposed to Rejoice first Thessalonians?

5:16 tells us rejoice Rejoice Rejoice, Rejoice Rejoice.

Now, this is not a suggestion is not suggestion.

This is not rejoice when God comes through for you, but only

then until then fret craw worry, scream out to God.

Tell him, I ain't doing nothing for you because you'll get his

attention. If you do that.

No. No said, you just Rejoice.

Always, you just always Rejoice Rejoice.

How often? Come on?

How often? How often always?

Now listen. Some of, y'all know what's going

on? My mom and thank you for praying

for her. I appreciate it but don't come

up to me and feel bad for me. I'm just Rejoice.

Just Rejoice. You know the end of the day,

everybody gets a little bit older.

Everybody's going to navigate their older years, a little

different, you're going to have different challenges at the end

of the day, but Has given me Grace and I'll just tap into

that Grace and I'll just rejoice and my wife and I were there

when my mom yesterday and we probably laugh more yesterday

than we did now, wasn't because everything that was happening

was funny. We just choosing to Rejoice

Rejoice Rejoice but there is progress.

I said there's progress and I believe God's report more than

any report. Amen.

Because instead of her already being with the Lord, she still

here. So there's a reason.

Now when I say that I'm not trying to be mystical or super

spiritual cause most people who say that have no context of why

they say that the Lord, there's a reason, okay, there is a

reason that she is here. We got a tap in and find that.

because it in, for her to live out the rest of her life, not

knowing It's not for that. It's not for me to be able to

sit a house 24 hours a day and not do the call of God.

So something's changing, I said something's going to change and

even though I don't see it today, I can rejoice and say

Lord you're going to bring it to pass, it's going to come to pass

is going to show up and at the end of the day, I'm be more

purify, my face going to work. I'm gonna Rejoice, we're going

to be at a navigate will be at a communicate more to others.

Are you hearing me Rejoice? How often look what it says?

In Philippians chapter 4 for Philippians. 4:4 rejoice in the

Philippians 4 · chapter mention Philippians 4:4

Lord and again, Now just in case you did get, how often?

Paul reiterates. He says Rejoice.

Now, you got to understand Paul wrote this statement by the Holy

Ghost while in prison. His letter to the Philippians

church is while he was in prison and I was in that cell.

Seriously, literally, where they believe that was where he was

at. Now, Rick Renner, who's a Greek

scholar an apostle over in Moscow.

Russia gives a extremely detailed description of the

prison that Paul was in in Philippi.

And they say that, Paul when he was arrested and in Philippi,

they took him down to the lowest part of the jail.

And the lowest part is where anything above when the

prisoners above would defecate or urinate, it would go to the

middle of the room, down a hole into the lowest part.

That's where Paul was. So Paul was in the sewage

system, part of the jail. And it's made with stones, no

air condition, no TV. Very damp.

So that means when he was chained to the wall that they

would have been rusted that many prisoners that were in that

place in that part of the prison.

Would have gotten gangrene because of rubbing their hands

raw from the rust and then because of the defecation, then

the rats that would run across the top of it.

Because you know there's no electricity.

So when it was dark, it was dark.

He describes this. The rats would run through and

begin to know that the prisoners that were hanging on the sides,

because it couldn't really go anywhere and would begin to eat

on their sores. just so, you understand, where Paul was when

he When the, when the jailers came in and said, Paul, there's

a package for you because again, he didn't get three squares a

day. He didn't get to walk out in the

yard and exercise so you don't want to hear this.

I mean the prison system United States or Hilton's.

They are Embassy Suites. Compared to what Paul's in and

the, like a package came for you, Paul.

So they brought him out. Let him see the package.

It was a letter from this church.

The church was talking to him about some things, but not only

that they gave something, they gave money and said Paul, We

believe you're going to get out. And when you do hear some

finances, to help you along your way because we sure hope we get

to see you again. And Paul's emotional state

during this time. Or heat the Holy Ghost.

Let him pin it. So go ahead and tell them how

you feel. Son, tell him what you've been

thinking. He said, I'm betwixt between two

places where the to go on and be with the Lord, because this so

hard here. And what I'm in right now, I

feel like death be better. Or to remain here with you.

Convinced. That my works not done on the

earth and what really got him thinking that these people just

sent me an offering. They're believing, I'm coming

out. And he began to depend more.

Then he gets to the last chapter, we call it chapter.

It's just the end of his letter. He says, now rejoice in the

Lord. And again, I say rejoice, now if

anybody had a right to not rejoice and this ain't the first

time Paul did a little rejoicing in jail cell.

Are you here on? He on more than one account.

We've had it pin. Where Paul is got joy going on

in a very difficult situation, and all of you freely came here

today. None of you were brought here by

the police. Are you hearing me?

So we should rejoice. And again, I say, rejoice, last

scripture 3211 says, this be glad in the Lord and rejoice,

you righteous ones. and then what shout for Joy, all who are

upright in heart, The only reason why you can't have a

shout as maybe something's going on in your heart.

The Bible says, if your heart doesn't condemn you.

If the word tells us that we're to be glad in the Lord and

rejoice and you righteous ones. And if you are born, again,

you've been made righteous. Which did she calls you to have

a shout of joy? But if you don't have a shout of

Joy, then maybe something's going on in your heart.

That's condemning you because, you know, you're not supposed to

do it, the Holy Ghost to say, hey now, what are you doing?

How can you live in that way? Why are you doing this?

Why you don't we redeem from that.

You're out of that. You don't do that.

You don't treat him like that. You don't act like that you

don't hold that against them. You need a?

Just forgive them. And if you're holding on

anything that the Lord is, telling you to let go of, well

then all of a sudden, your heart condemns you.

And then all of a sudden, when there should be a shout of joy,

you just kind of sit like this. God forbid, somebody come by and

say, how come you're not shouting?

You got something going on your heart, don't don't judge me.

I just don't know why you don't have a shout.

It's amazing that there's plenty of examples in the word that

what's going on on the inside prompts and outside.

Now, do I know that people can do an outward and their heart be

far from it? Absolutely.

I get it. but I also know this, when your hearts right is going

to do something outward, So, I don't want to be a fake prazer.

I do want my heart, right? But if my heart's, right, it's

going to do something, that's why James says, you gonna talk

to me about your faith without works.

I just seriously going to say that you're gonna sit there and

tell me, you have faith in God, and you're doing nothing.

Now, your faith is dead. He just straight up to him know.

Your faith is dead. I don't tell me.

I don't believe your faith is dead because you doing nothing.

I'll show you my faith because I'm doing something.

It is hourly shown that I'm believing God.

And one way that we outwardly show that we're believing God,

is that we have full of joy in a moment when we shouldn't have

full of joy? But we're so convinced that what

God Said would take place in this situation is really more

real than the situation the way it feels.

So I'm going to go ahead and just shout for Joy right now.

Anyway, and it becomes an outward expression.

That I'm so glad. I'm so Well ma'am, rejoicing in

the Lord because I've been made righteous.

Am I King has this situation handled and he's gonna bring in

the past. He going to vindicate me, he's

gonna put me on the top, he's gonna demonstrate that.

I am his beloved. He is going to Showcase to all

the laws and to my other brothers and sisters.

That Dad does take care of his kids.

I'm just going to rejoice and I got a shout of Joy.

That's why when it comes to worship, I can sing.

I can dance, I don't have to be prompted.

I can just do it anyway and even if it doesn't look good, it

doesn't matter. I'm not dancing before you in

the first place. And Michelle, it's not for you.

My shoutouts for him because he's the one who can bring it to

pass. I said he's the one who can

bring it to pass. Do you have a shout of Praise?

Come on. Do you have a shout of Praise?

Why don't you just Shout to the Lord?

He's Your Heart. Right?

Can you shout for a moment? Can you lift up?

Holy hands. Can you shout to the Lord?

Has he done good things for you as he redeemed?

You has he healed you as He restored, you.

He prospered you. I mean, if he's done one thing,

he'll do it again. His word, never fails.

Faith to Faith. Glory to glory, hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah, glory to God.

Glory to God. Glory to God, you may be seated.

I heard the Lord say he says, why is it that my people always

want to try to find a way out of doing my word.

He said, no, this some are saying they're only getting up

and shot and cuz you said something he said but you know

what? No one ever got born again until

I said something. I said call on my name and

you'll be saved so they only call on my name cuz I said do

it? And when they believed, what I

said they should do, then it happened.

So it's no different. When I say do this, according to

the word and you act on it, you're not doing it for me cuz I

said it you're doing because the word says to shout for joy.

The word says, the shout for Joy.

So you're not following me when you shout for Joy.

You're actually following the scripture you're actually

following the word. You're like, I'm just going to

do what the word says. I'm gonna shout for Joy.

I'm gonna shout for joy and it doesn't matter whether Eloise,

Eloise, stand up, tell her body shop for Joy.

Do is stand up now, I mean, is she a child of God?

Amen. It if she gives us a command

from our King, why would we not want to respond?

Hey man, cuz you're not performing for me because when

you're hard and you know what, the word says.

And a Believer said, man, let's just give the Lord praise you be

like, that's easy for me. Even when it's difficult, it's

easy. Even, in the midst of all cock,

it's easy, why? Cause I'm gonna believe God at

his word, I'm going to go ahead and Shout for Joy anyway.

Amen. Well, I'm just not naturally

happy person. Well, then maybe you're not born

again. Because children of God are

happy people. They are they have glad he gives

you he turns your mourning into gladness.

It says he'll give you the oil of gladness for the spirit of

heaviness. So you can't say that your child

of God and you can't be glad if you're not glad that, maybe

you're not a child of God. Hallelujah, but once again

you're having to Keith more debate like me, are you telling

me? Yep.

I'm telling you and the Lord is going to reveal just like he did

to me that I'm right about this and you're wrong because he

wants you to be full of joy because he's got, you look in

the world do to you. Come on.

Walk in the world to you. Why?

Because you've been redeemed. Thank you so much for listening
